UJSi&JLlAZ , Iti. 1885 , him , They have tried in ( very way , by slanders , libels and other ways , but he Is not crushed or killed yet. His lite hero has bconnn honorable and good one. He ban not rendered himself in any way amenable to criticism on that subject. Ha has been independent , it. is true , My friend Hftll wishes to crash nil Independents ont of the land. He says if you are n republican - lican you must always vote the republican 1 ticket or else yon nre n fnlsifer , n betrayer , a slanderer and a villan , no matter If the nomi nee bo the worst man in the country. It ii unnecessary that I should any anything more as to the character of Edward Rosewnter , either during the war or his lifo hero or in reference to these Infnmous libels as wo have a voice from the pravo which tolls us what was thought of Mr. Rosewater , The deposition of General An eon Stager who died a month or two ago declares thnt ho believes him to bo a loyal man , That ho became acquainted with him In Ohio bolero the wnr nnd would not have hnd him la the military telegraph , In any capacity , much loss in the w.u depart ment , ( showing the cnte which they exer cised there ) if they hnd hnd nny doubts at all about his loyalty. Ho was loynl during the war , ho pnssodlundor these scrutinizing eyes In the war department. There probably never was a better mnn than Mr. Stnnlon to road character in this country , lie passed upon Ills qualifications ns a loynl man and declared that ho could bo trusted , nud General Sta- xerdld the same. It wns n pnrt of the oflVfji of this ring to crush Rose water nnd destroy his influence In the community where ha was doing so much lor the laboring mnn ngninst lho gigantic cor poration , nnd it wns in pursuance of that thnt this libel wan started , In spite of what coun- ol has said , In splto of what they hnvo assert ed from time to time , is there nny other proof thnt this libel had been known and spoken of years before It appeared in the columns of tbo Republican ? I Bny , and I believe you will bear mo out when I say there Is not ono par tlclo of truth in It , that they bnyo rumaged all over their old papers and ecourod the city for witnesses who felt unfriendly towards Roeowater nnd not ono particle of testimony have they discovered IhntRoaownter was over chnrgad with bomga traitor or n rebel spy until the 8th day of December , and not In this city ntilthe20thofD3C3inberS1881i. Thoyhadgot together , n few o ! thorn , unfriendly towards Air. Rosowatcr , nnd hnd a conversation , nnd in that conversation it wns surmised thnt during the war Rosewater was disloyal , nnd finnlly that they could provo and would provo it by his own newspaper thnt ho hnd declared himself to bo disloyal. When the pnper is produced , the only proof is that nt the south he was regarded ns nn abolitionist. Ho was not called n spy until 1876 , yoara afterwards , when they looked back and Bald he had re ported Jeff D.\vis'a speech , but had not re ported it fairly and honestly , and hnd put Davis before the country In a Ilfht that since the wnr was over ho did not choose to appear In. Hence Rosewater wns n spy. Thnt Rose wntor wrote the article himself with no object except to maintain the truth of history he de clares , nnd that Jeff Davis did make a speech exactly as reported he states. But , they say , there Is another evidence of llosewater'n dts- loyalty in Stevenson. Ho was the man to re ceive Jeff Davis nnd welcome him to that town. Why , gentlemen , he was n boy 19 yeara old. Do you bollevo there wna not n man in Stevenson who could art on that committee nnd go down there ? He says ho was not on the committee ; except merely to point Jeff Davis out. Jeff David wns some times not anxious to be pointed out. There | | r V was n time when Uol. Pritchnrd , of the Mich- PH--Y ignn cnvnlry , was anxious to find him. Doyen yon believe Rosewater would not have been glad to point him out then also ? { My friends on the other side have called him a traitor for showing Davis to his countrymen. I belluvo , if I know myself , thnt there never was a drop of blood in my heart that waa untrue to the union ; and yet I attended the session of the convention In Georgia that put Georgia out of the union. I mot friends there nnd mot them na friends , and talked in n friendly manner over what tha possibilities of tha future might bo. Ynt I was not dis loyal , I came home VB did Rosewater - water , and I added my littln mite towards the salvation ot tne union. My name does not appear in the history of the wnr as often as Rosewater'a dots there , but notwithstanding I was In the south n short time just before the outbreak ot the rebellion , I declare I was n loyal man , They began by whispering , Rosownter wns dlslojftl nnd later that Rosownter was a rebel before the war. They say that ho did not de ny it ; thnt ho lot that pass. There was uo great outcry made and it did not crush Mr. Rosewater to call him disloyal nnd to call him n rebel did not crush him. So they said "as ho baa not denied this , wo will go ono step further , he waa n traitor and a spy. " And they gave na their reasons for saying it tbnt ho hnd boon called disloyal nnd "hadn't do nlud it. " Now let nlono the fnct that ho hnd denied It , let nlonu tha fact that he never had been called anything but disloyal , and lot 118 see where we stnndon the tojtimouy in this case. Vnndervoort says that he was called n confederate spy , but when you como to cross- examine him , holeays I don't think that wna the language , but It convoyed nn'Impression of disloyalty. " It wns his own article which be 1 , wns talking about. It was his own pan thnt -wrote the words nnd he knew what they were. Ho says he didn't uao the words "confederate spy. " No Indeed he did not , The first man that called Edward Rosewater a traitor and n spy , and it wai brought to his knowledge was sued for It. The only ono thnt dared to call him a spy was under the great shield and aegis of a corporation. Thn Tribune Printing company , which cannot bo shot or kicked dared to do it and nobody else. These libels were whispered about , although they did not go to this extent , by Hawea , Vandervoort Nye , Hatcall and ono or two others , Mr llajcnll is unfriendly toward my cljent. Thii Is ono of his periodical attacks of hostility To-morrow ho may get over it. Yesterday ho felt unfriendly. I have nothing to sny against Mr. Hascall , but I have thl to say ( or him , that although I be lieve him to bo vindicative and untcrpulous in his pursuit of poltic l oppenents , I do no believe when you put Isaac B. Hnicall , undei the Bnnothn of an oath , In that chair that he will Ho. What doea he say ? He declare that there never was any statement nbout hi being a spy ; that that was an inference drawn from the fact thut ho stayed within the rebe II aes after tha cordon of troops had been drawn around Nashville , and ho gives that ns tha only resaon. There la not a word of , tea tiraony thnt Rosewater was a rebel or n dls loyal man. Perhaps it would have been bette with the peculiar ideas of tha llbelers tha Rosewater had made a full and explicit de rilal. Ho did not do It becauss that was wh they wanted , to put him on the defensive i any fight that might occur. Allow mo to dlgref a for ono moment nu personal matter at this point wheru It leoin t ) come In. Mr , Tburstou said Jait nlrh that being in Chicago hu was accosted by gentleman who profocsed to know me in New York , tha state wrwre I formerly lived , nnd ho asked him about his republican friend , ndge Savage. II by that remark , which I resume Is truly repotted , that Now York awyer , whose nnmo Mr. Thurston could not emember , intended to assert or imbly that I ver changed rny politics , that I ever voted n opublicaa ticket , that I ever called my elf a epubllcan or worked for the republican patty , bat I was over known by any friend or asso- ate of mine as n republlcanho , states a false * oed , not ns damaging , perhaps , but M grots s that which we have made the subjoat of his action , Now , why do I deny the state ment , why do I correct what that lawyer told AT. Thurstonl I agree with Mr. Thurston hat n man coming from New York City to bis place may have time to change his poll- ics. It won't affect this case ; my personal eollngs and politics nre matters of the small- st moment to yon , I do it because It Is nee- isnry , according to Thurston , to make a do- inl , or to-morrow they will sny that I was u andidnte for an office in the republican party itho | stnto of New York ; nndtho.noitday they 111 say I changed my polities on account of right In Pennsylvania nnd the next iuuo of 10 pnpor will contain an article that I wns a obol general during the war , and was con- crted to republicanism under a threat of oing shot. That is the case here. I have akon up your time to n greater 111) i than I ntcndod to , bat I will say that I have made n oninl nnd when my own case comes into ourt I can prove that I hnvo denied the liargo ns distinctly nnd emphatically as I outd. But what n coward I nm to deny a hnrgo like this which is not true. What do care what other people say of my sentl- nents ? Why should I take notice of them ? low much better it would hnvo been to fol- ow the course which-Sir Walter Scott enya followed under such circumstances. In hat delightful lifo of hi a by his son-in-law. sayo , in substance "Since I have bon ipped in ink , I hnvo nlloved no parsons ! at- acka to provoke mo to reply. I will not eny that I have been vexed on such occasions , nd have sometimes wished to have the ascale , where the mulr-cock was the baillie , r na the Irishman would Bay , upon the sod ut I never let the the thing cling to my nind nnd nlwayo resolved that if my whole liaractcr nnd tenor of life did not refute such landers , my pan never should. " Mr , Thurston trios to make you think that bey could have proved that the plaintiff was traitor and a spy if they could have gob the witneescs , but they have nil died nnd left , nd you cannot got hold of them to prove t. That is the only point In which I agree vith'.him. The witnesses do not exist ; but vo have no trouble in finding witnesses to how that llosewnter was a loyal , good and ipright citizen , The witnesses do not exist u this state , but we brought in two or throe who knew Mr. Kosowator when ho wns in ho nrmy. Mr. Vnndervoort saya that ho .003 not feel unfriendly towards him , but hns n utter contempt for him that induces him o say nothing about him. Ho would not ave a word to eay about Ilosownter for tha would. Such an utter contempt for tbo man lint ho would not speak of him , nud yet he its down and writes a libel nnd puts It into newspaper , His contemnt is so great that ho as to talk on the street corners with Mr. lascall nnd others about him. They say that his nrticle was really published in a friendly way tc giro Ilosownter an opportunity to BOO vhnt the people out in the country said nbout im , nnd give him nn opportunity to eny that o was not a traitor or a spy. But it is Inlmed that tbo language of the libel was not hat the plnintifi was a spy nnd traitor but hat tradition said be was. When they enid he fright received made a republican of him , hey any they nro merely repeating1 a tradi- ion. But the nrticlo says "ho Is a spy and a rnttor now. " What does that mean ? Bead a ittlo of this article which my distinguished iternry friend has called your attention to. 'If tradition is true , Itosowater is a spy nnd rnitornow. " Suppose I should say to you , If tradition is true this is an exceedingly lot day. " What would you say of such Ian- ; uage as that ? You would say that the old man must have had the sun very strong' in his eyea last night , or ho took his drlnJ : too urly in the morning , or Is a fool. Tradition that he IB a spy to-day , what doesit mono ? It means nothing. I will not reply o it further ; it's a cowardly sneer at your in- iolligonca. Yon know that the word "tradi- ion'1 does not apply to it , You know thnt when ho says py "and traitor to-day , " there a not n word or thought nbout "tradition , " nnd it refers to the charge of his suing for mercy ; nnd they did not care to say thnt he sued for mercy , except by tradition , becnuso none would believe that ho sued for mercy , oven n boy of 19 as he was. So too they say .hnt . the word "spy" does not mean that ho is a spy upon the government nowbut a spy m , ho republican pnrty. I took down the names which they applied to Rosewntor yesterday , n faw of them. They were , "mountebank , pretender , charlatan , ier , rebel , spy , mugwump , traitor , hypocrite , slanderer , and villain. " Thoao gentlemanly epithets I took down from tbo lips of the counsel , nud those words were used with re- nrd t ) ItoBOwnter , I supposethey would Bay now if called to an account , "Oh , but wo were conversing nbout the article that starts out with the language , 'If tradition is to bo believed - lievod , ' " and therefore , wo sny he is a hypo- crit if tradition is to ba believed. And If tra dition Is to ba believed ho is a villain , mountebank , and a liar. The Tribune printIng - Ing company , under the control of a higher power , have taken largo part in the con tract of crushing Rosewator. They have been tha main contractors ; theyWployed subcontractors tractors , and tbo aub-contrnctora employed common laborers , and the common laborers , with the sub-contractors and contractors , were put upon the witness stand , but the heac of nil , tha employers , never made tbtir np nearance here. They kept out of sight j but the Tribune Printing company have taken the main part In the controversy and have de cided tinco they could not kill him that they would crush him by libel and slanders. I ask theto gentjemen If some years ago when KOJO water by a notorious gambler of this city was assaulted and nil but killed , I nsk them i there were not charges made at that time in the public prints and on the streets , that th publishers The defendant objects to tha ma of sucl language by the plaintiff and excapts to tin name. name.Mr , Savage , I was using it by way of iilua trntiOD , I mutt have travelled far outeldo o the record to have equalled the gentleman on lho other side. Not one word of what Thurs ton or Hall s id yesterday WAI in the tenti many ; but let ua suppose & case in which i man hns been groitly assaulted , suppose tha on the street comers and in the public print it WAS charged that the imbliihers or o.itors of eome paprr had had to do with this , bn < fomented u feeling , had tiled to have a man neeatsinated , nod this man didu't deny it ; ; would jou believe it any sooner on that > ground that they were cruilty of so groca an offautej I leave it to you to say whether you would or not. I think not. I think tbo mere want of denial doea not > prove elFectmlly so ereat an out- { * geVr , ? hm"h , : y snappy little fri < -nd Air. Hall has taken this case against Mr Kosewattr Svrno times young buya , new in the pruienion to tbeuiielrei r'lf , lay , I cm get hold oi an old lawyer to tackle , it will be the very ui&kingof me. If I can ba a little .itter , A little Impertinent , townrdi an older man , towards some respected member of the irofenion , by as much as I injure him or itirt hli feelings , by eo much sbnll I elevate myself in the heal circle. " I presume thai his wns one motive which indncad my friend tlr. Hnll to spend on hour or two In the abuse of Mr. Roeewnter. They put on nr tppearnnco of great wisdom and sobriety and loner nnd decency , and say thnt of nil these qualities Rotewnter is devoid , Gentlemen , when you see such things you are Inclined to link of the words of the wise man , " See's t turn a man wise in his own conceit , there if nore hope of a fool than of htm. " tat wh&tovor injury they can do r. Rosewnter by the tirade of yesterdny , hey nre welcome to. They follow It np by calling the names which I gnve n few mo ments ago , nnd folltw It up by attacks so roai , so unwarranted by the testimony that Jr. Thurston was obliged to con f OPS when he wns ntticklng the reputation of Mr. Iloso wnter , thnt there wns not n word of truth to uatam the allegation , Not n word of ovi- enca. This calling of names I don't think mounts to much. I never found that I nlned anything by it , and I do not believe hnt my friondx will cither , God once om- iloyod two she bears to correct this calling f bad namos. That rnca of bears lus proba- ly died out , but could thcso two nnlmnls bo ot loose In Nebraska how fnt nnd lusious vould be the meal that they would make of omo cf thoio young fellows. A man who ailed himself editor of lho Rspubllcnn , nud aid his name was Nye , being asked If ho had nny hostility or antipathy to Rosownter , de- lared thnt ho had not. That ho had mbllshed this nrticlo na nn Item of lows or comment Ho nlso said that 10 published it bocatiso It had been perfectly well known ovir the whole stnto for twelve or ourtoen years. I BOO now why the Republi- nn hns taken such a high standard in this oinmunity na a newspaper. That is the so- rot of keeping up such a paper , by never irinting anything that was actually now , and , lwnys tnklne old articles , something for in- tan co like the history of the Jews , or the war n Mexico , cr the disloyalty of Rosewater , As t comment ho said , "let the sinner live. " I rust that ho nnd his friends will let the sin * ier live. I hope thnt if they have nny design > f assassinating him ( hut those designs have icen frustrated. "Let the sinner live. " I lope thnt ho will live until ho hns done hi a work iu this community , nnd until the people it this state see that his view ns to labor , as o monopolies and giant corporations nnd ns o morality nro the true views to be adhered o. I believe howill , live long after the ubsidlzod papers which uttackcd him lave gene downjnto oblivion nnd been for gotten with their editors nud publishers so 3ntircly that the hand of resurrection will not stir them. _ Mr. Nyoaoid that ho didn't eel friendly in times of political nctlvity. Vnd I naked him what gront political mnvo wns on foot on the 20th of December , 1882 , nnd ho was entirely uuablo to nnswer , but inally declared that there wns not nny , so hnt this libel , atrocious , pros' , wicked , nud hnmeful as it is , was published at the time when there was no hostility on the part of ye , ns ho declares , nnd no hostility on the part of any ono. I notica Mr , Thurston hinka that ho ought to have brought suit igainst the St. Paul Phonograph , na that laper was published eight or ten days before , , nd ns Thurston snid it was in Rosowater's lands immodintely afterward ? , and ho ought o bnve denied it then , instead of waiting , md having suit commenced agninat the Trt- juno Printing company. I have corrected , o many mistakes of Thuraton's that I hate 0 say that it is entirely untrue , that Roae- rnter had aeon it baforeitwas published in tbo Republican. There is no testimony to warrant t , but it is probably au inadvertent mistake if Thurston'g , The reason why we did not commence suit against the St. Paul Phonograph graph was that wo were not in the habit of ulup beegars. Wo choose to strike at the lead of this ; fer the employer , not for the imployed. Don't you believe thnt whoever jut that nrticlo in the St. Paul Phonograph lid it under instructions from headquarters ? This is a suit for libel , ns you probably by his time have become aware. The pulioa- Ion of tha article is'admitted. There is no tllegation that it was copied from the St. ? nul Phonograph. They nlleeo that It had ieen generally known nnd circulated throuph- > ut the state , but no where , nnd nt no time before the trml of this case , until Thuraton came to make bis speech , was there n pretense hat the charge was true. The caurt will in- truct you that in casts of this kind , thera nro various defenses nnd various modes of tying the case. We sue for instance for ibel. The defendant mny sny in nnswer. bat ho didn't publish the nrticle , or that t Is a true statement. Thnt la called ratification , nnd if the stat ° mont irratfe a true , if you publish it as an item of news , n for any other good and worthy motive , yon nro not liable. But two things are needed to make a justification , that the statement is rue and tbnt it wno published for good rea- ODS. The defendnnt can nlso set up other matter such as has been introduced here. He can set up matter inmitigattoo , which means hat though the jury are bound to find a ver dict ngainst the defendnnt , they may consider certain matters to decrease the amount of Inmnges which he is to recover. Par instance , f it is a general report and believed in the com munity , while they muathnvo a verdict ngntnst hem , they say it ought not to bo go large , > etauae they honestly believed it. But when they set up mitigation thsy must make the defense as brond as the charge. To set up hat he was a rebel spy they have to prove t and if they sea up thut IB is a traitor they have to prove t , and if they set up tbnt ho Is a traitor they mve to prove that he was a traitor jeforo the publication of the article. If they ; only provo thnt ho is disloyal , it is not nvinence in mitigation , such ns you are entitled to receive. Suppose that he was universally blieved to be n rebel ppy ; euppoao that they proved that every man in this state believed that he was a rebel spy during tha war ; that would only help them In mitigation. We , on the other hand , on our part , are entitled to produce evidence in aggravation ; nnd what becomes of the miti- Kation ? Wo have preyed before you a case of the grossest libel , and have proved as matter of aggravation that it was repeated. Thoru never wni n tlmo when they have correcteJ their pretended belief that Rosewater was a traitor and a liar. Now wo have another mat ter which we have asked the court to charge ; npd that is that the conduct of the trial itself was a matter of aggravation , nnd I intend to point the court to a section where that doc trine Is laid down , wbero an Kagluh judge had said they might take these circumgtances un der consideration , and if the jury believe that the speeches of counsel were libelous they could mo it no ni aggravation of damages. Whatever his Honor charges on that eubject will bo entirely satisfactory to ue. You are to take the words in their ordinary and usual acceptation. _ If a man is charged with being a rebel spy and n traitor it must ba proved thnt ha waa such. Wo have naked you for 310,000 dam ages , la that too much ? It a man'd charac ter worth less than that In this community 1 1 believe that you will say that it n no : J can recall numerous cases of these large ver dicts wherein editors have published state ment a with regard to Individuals , and finding they were false , have Immediately retracted them , made every apology In their power , and done everything they could do to rectify the injury. Here Mersra. Thurston and Hall bith rcso to object to the statements of tliu counsel as being outside ot the evidence , Mr. Savage It is uncourteons in the ex treme for thaso gentlemen to Interrupt when Mr. Simer.il end tnywlf eat here with our client mute during oil his argument ncd lis tened to such language ns ho choao to utter outside of tlio testimony ; we sat here nnd lis tened to the foulest slander heaped upon my client , nnd yet wo were mute. The interrup tion which was nmda wuu not m&do by uie. Mr. Thumton doea not like to have me go into these matters outside of the testimony ; I told him when I started I did not mean to , I am glad to bo interrupted when I got outside ol the testimony , for there Is enough in It 'for forty verdicts of the eizo that wo ask you to give us. I know that you will give us gome- thing , because the law requires you to , nnt I _ belluvo it will bo a vurdict thai will teach these gentlemen eome- tblng of wlnt journalists ought to know In this community. My friend Thurston sale night before last when I was just finishing the examination ( it ono of the witneBcei1 , the editor of this paper , that I appeared to be rattled , Now I presume that th&tmeauatlu I was confuted , that I was thrcl ed , that . ' exhibited signs of emotion which attracts attention. The charge was true ; I wa shocked. Thn witness had declared on th stand that if Judga Neville , Judge Woleloy Mr. Thurit n or any Intimate friend had ha charges slanderous und llbelous made ngbiuB them and it wns iiot denied , or denial hud no come to his knowledge , ho would publu" hi BO charges , It waa infamous doctrine. 1 was infamous to cay that the judge shall com own from hi * lofty seat to deny a fal e charge , r elsa it will bo regarded M trnn , nnd given Irculation. I say it is nu oatrago on justice , : is an outrage on law , nnd on the honorable rofenslon of journalism that such sentiments bould bo tprnad abroad in this com * munity , nnd 1 believe they will 0 rebuked by yon. I know that you u not behovn that thnt is law ; thnt yon rou't regard the efferta of that individual to ot yourselves nrlgbt every time there is n umor against you Ho said he would pub- sh the name thing that ho published agntnst Icsewfttcr of any person "under the circum- ances. " What nre those circumstances ? If 10 rumors existed , nnd they hnrlb't been do led , and there ho stopped , Ihoro ate all 10 circumstances , If such u the doctrine vhich he openly avowswatch for the slightest bnrga ngftlntt yourselves. Have men gtand- ogon the street corners to watch your repn- fttion , or he may publish them. Such things s that nre to bo expected , It Is to teach this man n lesson of decency Iu journalism that re ask you for A verdict in this cnio , I do ot nsk for mercy for Mr. Rosewntor. Mr. osewnter Is , ni has been ald , nmply able to tko care of himself. I do not suppose thnt bel hns ever cnuscd him ona moment's lots f sleep. Mr , Hnll says thnt it didn't do the entt hurt In the world , that these newspaper ttncks , thnt the attacks upon Cleveland ns to Is chastity never coat him n ilnglo vote , nnd iftt the attacks upon the Bother candidate id not injure him. What ideas of journal- m ? Can it bo thnt thnt honorable proics- on In this country has sunk so low that needy - ody believes a word thnt It says ? Can It bo ut tha Republican bns sunk so low that it an't hurt nnybody ? There wcro days when could. When Mr. Taylor was editor of int fiaper , what it said meant something : nd when ho was succeeded by Balcombe , nnd 'oltor , nnd Brooks , the paper was conducted y gentlemen , nnd people believed what it aid. And they know that though it might make false statements , still the editor believed > hnt it Bftl'1 , They were centlemen in these ays , nnd if the paper hns fallen BO low that . does no harm It Is time for It to dlo. And nsk euch a verdict ; ns will assist in ringing nbout that desirable consummation , say I do not suppose tliat Rosewater under omo circumstances would Imvo cared for ils libel , but his reputation is ns dear Co him entleinen , as mlno Is to mo , and yours to ou , tind if thera is anything I nm proud ol , ; is thnt I was loyal during the Into struggle , iat I did what I could to sustain the nrmifs 1 tha union , nnd no nmn can hurt mo woi ] inn to say I waa n traitor. No nun cau urt mo worsa than to say I was soy ngnlnst ny country ; but ha can Buffer from other nuacs than thnt. From the time Mr. Roso- vutor lumo to this community , ho has lived onorod nnd ro'pcotod , His domestic lifo has sen a model for men who dnrod to call Mr , loe\vator a traitor nnd a ejiy , He has nised children , lie has raised daughters , they ro just budding into womanhood , nnd dur- np nil these years they have kuown their nther only tbnt he was respected , only that o was uprlnht , ( nly that he was kind and onorod. They bnve loved him , and I do ot care what my friends on the ther side mlpht say , there nre others tat love respect nnd esteem his character , Us family have loved him in that peculiar ray in which daughters love their fathers nnd rives love their husbands , nnd on the 20th of lecomber , 1882 , they believed that he was onfst , upright , loyal , nnd bore himself gal- intly nnd honorably through the struggle of 10 union. They nwoka to find that for wcnty yejrs his lifo had been a lie , thnt ho ras n spy , that ho was n rebel , and that eo ' ir from being the man that they supposed ho as , ho was a hypocrite and liar. Do you ellevo thnt ? Do you bellnve that through lose lacerated bosoms after the nrticle nj > - enred in the paper thnt Ro'owater could not ave been hurt ? Do you think that ha did ot suffer with those poor Buffering women' f you do , then you know not the feelings of manhood. There nro times when euch a nnder t gainst you , youjwould brush nway , ot caring BO much nbout it as to resent tbo ttnck. But when yuu see that one who ives , trusts , nnd believes in you has been ounded nnd is suffering from n falsa charge , ou puffer too nnd so will every man who _ uot so blinded by venom , slander , lying and ickednesa thrt he has lost nil somblanca of umnnity * I ask you , gentlemen , when you o into your jury room to take theao things ilo consideration.

Plenty of Cochins Sold fl > r Fifty Hoi Inra Ench Ono Pair of Orny BIiKtiKlinln Bring l-Uvo Ilumlrrn Dollnrs. Now York Mail nnd Express. A port young sahstuan stood bcoido a great coop of pigeons in n poultry fan cicr'a atoro yesterday , tilklng about tbo merits of time h tidaomo chickens in a small coop before him to another youth , while a Khlto haired old farmer from Jersey stocd by and liatoncd attentively. "Theto are genuine Cochins. " said the salesman , "and they are an unusually Quo lot. Gochlna ordinarily sell for $12 for the ttio , but the bcas Bays that these must not bo gold for less than $1)0. ) Ho la particularly pleased with the matched colors of these , and don't care whether anvono bay a thorn or not. I don't bo- llovo that n.3 p.roat a ptico was over asked for chickens before. " "iTou are wrong there , " sild the old farmer. " 1 can tell you a story , and it's n trao one , about prices paid for fowls that arn simply bovoud ordinary belief. Iu 1850 or thereabout ] a number of bright poultry-raisers iu England under took to increase thn prices paid for the stock they dealt in by pretending to im prove their broods. They imported n variety of Chinese fowls and pretended to accomplish results with thorn far be yond anything thnt could possibly bo done. They ismod learned pamphlets which dlasmsod the now varieties of stock , and printed long cssiys In thn magazines. The impulse given to the business was clear beyond their wildcat anticipations. Tlioro wcra plenty of market breeders who were really anxious to get a variety of fowls that would lay more eggs and would weigh more vrhon dressed for the table than the old breeds that had been common for years. The Cochins from China were the favorites. Wonderful stories of the number of eggs laid by them were told. 'Finally , the ladies and gentlemen of leisure , who are al trays on the lookont foe some now diversion , took a fancy to the chicken business , They cared noth ing for the profits. They must have tbo best fowls in the kingdom , fowls tint could beat the record and ehow a padl- groo at the eamo timo. The queen her self bought fancy fowls , and it then be- cime the fashion to take an interest in poultry publications and poultry podl- groes. The pricea began to soar. "lho increased demand for fine stock brought out now varieties. White und gray Shanghais soon competed with the Cochins , and Ohltlagonga with Canton Chinese fowls , and hotted diaonslons over the relative merits of the breeds wcro hold on the street-corners , and over the allies in the hedges around the fields. "As soon as the mania was fairly started , fairs were held for the exhibition and sale of the fowls. Early in 1850 a fifr in Norwich , Enpland , brought ont 102 lots of fowls , one of which contained 110 Cochins belonging to a lady. The ochlns were sold and realized 301 4s. d. , the highest prlco being 20 guineas r a single cook. Many single fowls ronght from 3 to 7 each. "That sale waa the scle topic of con- orsatlcn in all England for a month icreafter. The excitement lasted , and anla spread to America. In 1853 or 354 a Boston Yankee by the name of urnliam , who know a good hen when o saw it , sent out ( o a Birmingham , oglind , fowl show acago of gray ijhang- als. A trio sold at eight for § 100 , and the end of the fair a ptir from this 3go carried oil' the first prize , and they vere sold to a Mr. Taylor , of Shepherd's Jnah for § 000. This Is the highest price u rfccord I believe , for a single pair , hero was plenty of sales curing 1853 and 854 for from ' 30 to 50 per pair. "People think that $2 par dozen Is n IK price to piy for pure ntcck eggs now- days , but then siuglo eggs sold from $5 o § 10 oich , and it's on record that half dozen chickens juat hatched sold at $10 ' You sild the minla spread to this otintry , " aug rested the /salesman. / "Ye * , buv the prices paid hero was ever so largo. Boston aeotna iu have een the headquarter * of the business jvorybody wanted fancy chickens , The rdera to the Bcston importora came rom Malno and from Texas , and ono rmthoro Bold in 1853 over § 23,000 worth of fowls. There were single rdera amounting to $1,200 to Sl,5iO , nd this firm sola ono lot for $2,230. , "Good business , that , " said the clerk "Certainly. It costs no more to hatcl , nd rear a fine fowl than ono of common > rced ; in- fact , it cost loss then and 1 osts less now to keep fowls of gooi > reods. Plenty of men made largo anma f money oat of chickens while the mania asted , and plenty who came while the boom was booming got caught In the howor. Th ro wcro too many people In ho business and too many poor fowl old with forged pedigreea. People go [ ( satiated , and then the eight poum Cochin hens went into potpie at ton cents pound. When the craze died out i oft the country with a fine stockof _ 'owls , and the prevalence of tuoh beauties IB those in the coop , for there are a great many fowls that are as valuable Intrln- Ically OB those , is duo to tbo cazo.
