der of a stage load of passenger, at Port Neuf
canyon in ldahn, and the robbery of the oouoh
of not less than $75.0(10, making one of the
most attiinnding crime ever committed west
of Ike Rocky mountains, it now awakening the
attention of law-abiding people to thecaute of
this alarming ttale of affairs.
The Independent tuggetli that the
cnuieof this deplorable condition of things it
t be found In the decline of business prosper!
ty, and the poverty of the country. Saying
tielhing about the bad influeuoool such reason
ing, if true, we think that but the hare state
mi'Dtof a few well known factt will be suffi
cient to tbow eveiy one acquainted with the
current history of the country, thai it it neith
er the want of employment nor the dearth of
money, which hat produced moll a crop of
'criminals, but that it it one of the fruit of the
Southern Confederacy. Thit growing inoreaie
of crime can be traced buck to about the time
III ut the Union armiei had completely occupied
Missouri and Arkansas. Soon after that peri
m, w heard of organised gangt of horse
thieve in Southern California, defying the lo.
el and civil authoritiet, and preying upon the
people.' Following close upon that, the coun
try wat ttnrtled by the sudden capture of all
the expreat ooaohet and carrion In California,
fnnnd on the road on certain day, thnwlng
ch-ar enough that an extensive conspiracy or
general understanding wat had among the high
waymen prior to their bold raid. These high
waymen captured large amounts of treasure,
retreated to the mountain, and when punned
by an armed four., did not hrsitale to resist
arret! with the deadly ate o rlllet and revolv
ers. Succeeding those events in California,
nflieen of the law discovered an extensive band
of horse thieve in the Willamette valley, hav.
lug connection with other gang in California
and Idaho.
'' What we have dated at to these nrgnnlta
iii in. ii well tuitniued by fact developed oa
criminal trials, by the confessions of criminals
arrested, and otitnred correspondence now in
tho hands of nor sheriffs.
We believe Ihut tho perpetrator! of these
crimes, and the moving spirits lu these gangs
and band of thieve, which have cursed the
country, have been rebel guerrillas and outlaw
ed rebel soldiers from Price's aruiyi and that
they canie to this oonntry for the two fold pur
pose of robbery and plunder, and of getting up
nil lusurreoliun or rebellion of some kind on
mi this coast, with the ultimate object of pre
cipitating the l'aoifio State into civil war, or
carrying tbein nut of the Union lo the shape of
a l'aoifio Repulilio.and thereby getting np a di
version on I lie l'acifio in furor of ihe Southern
Confederacy. In support of thit view, we have
tho well-known and indispuiablefnct. that the
horse-stealing parties in Sonllieru California
tarried the Coiitedi rate, flag, that they
avowed themselves at rebels and in lavnr of
JelT. Davit) that the men who captured the
Mtiretecnach near Plwoerville. Cel.. also ex
hibited a Confederate flag, and staled to the
pasengrt that they respected the property of
passenger, and only roblied the express to aid
' in raising recruits for Jeff. Davit. In add! loo
to there fuels, It is alto stated beyi nd contra
diction, that the men In California aud In Ore
foes who were connected with these bands of
robber and thieves, who have been identified
by the officers, were in all eatei Copperhead
and secessionist. Thit last faot is of Import
auee la this view only, to wiu That rebels and
seaewlon agent coming from the South to thi
country, for the purpose ft gutting up trouble
would make kuowa their plant only .In those
who had strong sympathy with the Suatbers
Confederacy, aud iIkmus alont would go in with
- tuch agents, who had such sympathies,
la addition to the fact, it U now known
that lb parties who robbed and murdered th
passenger at Port Neuf canyon In Idaho, or
Ik rebel soldiers' uniform, aud were, beyond
(leant, desperados from th broken np rebel
arstiei. Bit aaid from Hit notorious foot la

the elrouuiilnnoes of the ooonlry and outgrowth
uf tkt rebellion which will support our viuw I
Tk prevailing idea to th East, and especially

Mt of plunder, th exolttmeut of a revolutlo
aid the hope of aiding "their Southern breth
ren., there would be large induoiuenli for
rebel aud gtwrhlUt to t uit Uii country for
the express purpose of getting op tho trooblet
we have named. Uebol agent went lo Chica
go and organized a conspiracy ef five thousand
'Illiui," to capture Camp Douglas, release tho
rebel prisoners, tack the ny, and inltinto a
Domncratio rebollmn in the North-west, and
why ihftuM they wet come to the Pacific for a
timilnr purpose, whore tho elements aud cir
camstatKXt were fur more favorable ? That
they have had (and for aught wu know, may
yet have) treasonable, secret organization! lu
Oreson, there it onnsidurable proof in proper
hand. If such rebel and agents did oomo,
and we have no doubt of that.what other wny,
at once so appropriate and effective, to com
mence and Inaugurate their damnable schemes
by gradually aud insidiously schooling their
co-laborer and aid to their terrible work by
occasional robberies and murders! The cause
is not truly itated by the Stockton paper. This
country is not poor. Every man can get em
ployment that it not too lazy to work, or too
vicious to be trusted.
But the wont feature of the whole matter
ie yet to b stated. Wherever then rebels
and guerrilla! have oomo to this country in suf
ficent force to Influence the local administra
tion of Justice, they have exercised their influ
ence on the tide of the criminal. A nntahlo
cose is at hand, whioh will do to illustrate the
remit of the evil influence exercised by these
invading tehels. A few weeks ago ex-sheriff
Pinkham of Idaho, was coolly and deliberately
murdered by the uulorious murderer aud des
perado, Ferd. Patterson, At the moment of
striking down hit violin:, Patterson denounced
Pinkham a an "Abolition son of a b h."
Tho Iduho papers stated npnn the arrest of
Pntterioo (who fled from his crime) "that pol
itics would doubtless have much to do wilh nn
acquittal of die murderer." Unfortunately for
Justico It has turned nut so. Idaho is now in
the hands of Copperhead politicians, the Ter
ritory Is Democratic, uud mudo Democratic
by the vote! of rebel guurrilus and rebel sol
diers from Missouri and Arkansas. And not
withstanding Patterson was a uulorious mur
derer and highwaymen, and had deliberately
murdered u man known tn bo a civil and law-
abiding citizen, tho rebel "roughs" of Idaho
demanded that their louder should nut be in
dieted for thit uutriigeous crime, and a Dumu
orulio grand jury acceded to the "infhieneo of
tho prevailing politics," mid Patterson, the
murderer, ia turned loose, tcot free, to murder
tho next Abolitionist that may oomo in hi wuy.
Of Ihl proceeding the Idaho Statesman ayt :
lu the nraseiil instance, t luo-t auualliiix and uiinro
vuked murder has been commuted lu open day, under
riicuiiiHiaiices mat leave no rooiu to douul that the ac
cused ought to be nut uuou trial. Thelurv in ignoring
a bill have done iiuless tl-mi to isut a hi-eose to murder
the next man he may differ with. Mow long Is this
stateol things to last? The leniency of trial juries has
become proverbial, but It seems that our grand juries
are eveu mora lax. It la tlia time the country under
atoiai It, it the knife and bullet art to rule, aiid sumu-
sinulion go unpunished.
Suoh a result was to be expected in Idaho.
The Demooratia politicians of that Territory
had invited the rebel there to aid them
in carrying the election just as the
Democratic politicians in Oregon are now invit
ing rebels to this State they carried the last
election, and now they have the fruits of a vie
tory achieved by such Infamous means. It wai
to he expeoted. Men that been have schooled
in bushwhacking, robbery and guerrilla war
fare In Missouri, will not regard tlio civil law in
Idaho or Oregon, where they are strong enough
to overawe it.
And, now, we say to these Democratic lead
ers' who are so anxious tn carry the next elec
tion in Oregon by the aid of the "rebel vote,"
stop and think. Don't weigh in the balance
the petty achievement of an election triumph
against the welfare of the State, the security of
property, and the peace of society. And to the
voters of Oregon, its permanent citizens, we
sny, take warning by Idaho. Euuuurage none
but law-abiding citizens to settle in the Stnle,
ami to all such give the right hand of fellowship.
L't rebel stay where they committed their
crimes, and let them win back and receive all
their rights among their old neighbors who are
the best judges of what is their due.

disaster:
STATEMENT OF FAHKET.L, HTEKIt'OE 8TKWAIH)
On Saturday, before the wreck, the wind
commenced blowing fearfully, mid continued
until th wreck and after. On Sunday, at 12
o'clock, tho Captain took the sun and gnt our
position. Finding the storm was likely to con
tinue, he rounded to, with the hope of making
Crcfoeut City, wheru he intended to lay at nn
chor until the storm abated. After we round
ed to, we ran for Crescont City, I suppose for
thirty or forty minutes, when the ship struck.
She. ntrncK very bard, apparently anout nan
way between her stern and foromiist. She did
not appear tn strike her stern ; but raised on
the swell and settled directly upon tne roca.
Hie next sen that struck her carried her as lar
on to the rock as her foremast. Her bottom
was hatllv torn to nieces, and her foremost
dropped through until stopped by the yard-urio.
she remained swinging at tne mercy ni tne
waves until she sank. Tho olliccrs were very
cool, and were doing all in their power tn save
the lives ot the passengers, who were very
calm under the circumstances.
When Captain DeWulf fonnd tho rhip wa
hound to sink, he walked fnrwnrd and coolly
snld i "All hands aft and try to save your
selves. Tne nrst uoai mat was mwereu wnt
the forward boat on tho port side, and was
swamped ; its crew were swimming around her.
When we Inst saw her there was one man sit
ting astride of her, and she was npsidv down.
The next boat that was lowered wa on the
starboard side of the eh'p. directly astern of
tho wheel. This was under the charge of
Campbell, the Second Mate, and contained a
larger number of ladies, hut wits swamped he
fore she was free from the davits ; her stem
was smashed in against the ship's side. The
First Officer, Allen, hauled her passengers on
bimrd ship again, Thu Captain, who wnt
funding on thu hurricane neck Just aft ntt the
wheel-house, spoke to me, and told mo tn put
the plugs into the bout swinging nt thu star
hoard dnvils, just nsteru of I bo lust that liad
been swamped. I did so, and ho then told me
to remain in Iter, for the pnrposo of keeping
the men nut of her, nnd told ins tu tnko as
many women as would go, I did so.
John P. Hetisley brought two women nnd
tried to get them into thu hunt, lint could not
succeed ; they begged hun to let them go.
which he did, Seeing that tlio women would
not get in I anii : "John, yon hud better gut in
yourself," but he said he would not; that he
would star nnd assist others in saving their
lives. I then said : ".fubn, if you will lint go
give me n bucket." Ho b'nped from the hnri
cane to the upper or pilot deck, nnd gave inn
one of the firejiuckets that Here in a rack on
the wheel-house. I tried again to induce him
to come, hut he would not, saying that there
were already cnnue,h in thu boat. Allen then
Commenced lowering us down. John Ileiisley
was tho Inst mini I spoke to, nnd his Inst winds
to me were; "Keep cool nnd save yourselves
good-by I" When we struck the water the
ship rolled over on us and nenrely sunk us, hut
hut we escaied with only thu Ins of all our
slur-board tide-pint. We bad bard work to
clear the ship, which vie could only do by push
ing the boat around under the ship's stem. In
this manner we mnunged In get steerage way
and the use of our oars. We started immedi
ately for shore. Wo were running quartering
wilh the waves, which broke over us on nearly
every crest, at times nearly filling tho bout, and
had it not been for the bucket that was given
us by our brnve-hearted shipmate, John Hens
ley, there would pohnhly never have been n
soul saved to give tidings of tho terrible disus
ter.
After wo left the ship, there wero two gun
fired ; we looked hack at tlio ship aud saw her
smokestack go by the hoard. We then went
down into tho trough of the sen so far nt tn
make it iiiiiussiblo tn see tho ship. When we
arose on I bo next crest, I saw the signal of dis
tress flying nt tho mi.zenmnst head. We
were again let down into the tn ngh of the sea,
and when wu enmu up again, the ship had en
tirely disappeared. I think the waves drove
her over the rocks, and that she went down
stein first. We were about three hours getling
to Crescent City,' I should think. The water
was very cold, and I think U would not have
pnsfible for a man to have lived more limn ten
hnurisahiid any tried to savo themselves by
iiieinl of life preservers or drift of any kind
where they would have been exposed to the
water. The people of Crescent Cily treated
ut kindly ; nnd (hero were throe or four hunt,
including the one in which Wo were saved, dis
patched at once for the wreck, but after get
ting outside a short distance, they were forced
to return, nt thu sea ran so high a to muku it
impossible lor them to go further.
Tho olliccrs were all very brave men. and
though death was staring them in the face,
they wero oool and sensible.
Mrs, Stott, one of tho rescued passengers,
says that Yates, tho Quartermaster, did nil in
his power lo get others into this boat, nnd says
that the reason so many of tho crew were saved
was, that this being tho smallest boat, the offi
cers and gelitlemnu on hoard considered it less
safe than the others, aud sent nil the ladle in
to the larger ones, which wero lost.
The San Frnnciscn Call has the following :
Sounding had beeu made ut llie scene ol the
wreck, but nn truce of It us found. The sun.
ken rock was there, nnd nloiigsiilo tho hue
showed lifly fiilhoius of water- Thu only evi
dence that a wreck hud buen there was the
presencu of a mnsa of oily tiibstnucu on the
url'aeu of the water. It it thought by the
third ollleer and others Unit llie vessel must
have careened over and slid from the rock
down tn the bottom of thu sea, w here the uina
of her, no doubt lie deeply imbedded in the
sand.

Canadian Akfaiiis. A correspondent of
tho New York Herald, writing from Quebec,
under date of June 2et, gives the following in
formation :
Tho political affairs nf thit Province just now
are considerably " mixed," nnd few persons
know with what party to array themselves. For
many yenrs Upper Canada has been outvoted
by Jean Baptiste, of Lower Canada; represen
tation by population, and other proposed meas
ures to relieve Upper Canada of the iuenbus,
have been agitnted, and nil have failed. About
a year ago the leaders of the two chief parties
held a caucus, and the result was a coalescing
between the followers of Ocorge Brown on the
one hand, and John A. Mncdonald nn tne ntner.
They accented a a basis for thi Hew party
coalition tlie consideration scheme, that for
many months hat nttructed so much notion in
in this country and Great Britain. Meanwhile
the agitation of the question of annexation goes
nn. and the public are in a State of nervous
excitability, growing out of llie uncertainty of
the relations with the Uuited States. The pro
vincial debt of the country has increased since
IHliO about $15,000,000 or at the rate of til.
000.000 per year, until the Canadian groan
under a public debt of about t.'IS.OOO.OOO.
To Canada this is a critical moment. No
one knows tn what point he should steer, and
everybody looks forwnrd tn a crisis in the gov
ernment the moment that the result of the del
egate' visit is made known. Should the gov
ernment be defeated (and they must he, if the
confederation icheroo fail) a general election
would to doubt follow. It is hard to guess
what qoe'tioiia would form tho points of dispute
in that campaign. Lower Canada would go
largely tguiust confederation; Uier Canada'
almost unanimously for it; hut knowing, as
Upper Canada does, that the maritime prov
inces have the power tn defeat the measure. I
look to an nbaudonment of the schema and
the substitution of separation an i independence
therefor. The prnpnsed termination of the Uo
ciprocity treaty has struck terror into the peo
ple, nnd all seem impressed with the urgency
of some legislation that will more closely ally
Canada with the neighboring republic. Tins
is nothing more or less than n peaceful with
drawal from Great Britain and annexation tn
the United States, All things considered. I
am forced In the conclusion that this year will
witness oiie nf (he greatest revolution in the
poll ics uf this province that it has ever known;
and firmly believe that twn of the questions
at tlie next poll will he "ifepariition it Mil iudu
peiitieiicc" and "annexation." The annexa
tion breeze that swept, over Canada in 18111
was nit a puff of air compared with whut this
year will develop should the coufederutian
scheme fall to the ground.
A Swoiti) that Curs both Ways. By
tho fillowtng, from the correspondence of the
BullHin, we should judge that the rebels are
gcttirg a little more than they played fur, in
the "reserved rights of States" ;
President Johnson, in declining tn interfere
for tht establishment of negro suffrage in lato
rebel States, has adopted a rule which works
both ways. A day or twn since a delegation
Tenuesseans appealed tn him against certain
lawsalopted by the loyal government recently
set in notion within tho State of Tennessee.
They complain bitterly uf new laws vhich pro
vide tint those who have been engaged in the
late rebellion aud those who have openly sym-
inthiz(d therewith, shall he deprived of tho
right of sultrute during several rears to come
This, they urge, disfranchises three-fourths of
the vot-rs of that Mate, and "stands stubborn
ly in t!t way" of all who are really desirous of
lilting tlie Suite nut of the slough of Lies pond
into which the war hat plunged them. To all
this the President ha no answer except that
which he gives to the advocates of negro suf
frage, viz ; "That the matter is exclusively nf
State jmisdiction, with which the Gevera) Gov
ernment bus nothing to do." Andrew John
sou, whet) Military Governor of the Statu,
handed over thu whole business of forming a
loyal local government to the loyal people of
the state, llie reliels at that time were too
busy in pusbiug on the rebellion to tnko any
notice ol what their loyal neighbors worn do
ing. The latter proceeded to elect n Slate
Government and a Legislature, aud whatever
the latter have done or may not do inconsistent
wilh the Constitution of the United States, it
I heir own business. They had the right tn im
pose upon disloyal men the disabilities com
plained ol, and if they can show the President
that he his power tu remove those disabilities
and restore the suffrage to disloyal whites, the
same arguments must convince nil parties id
Mr. Jobixon's power to concede black suffrage
also, lint the t'resident will do neither lie

Lakes on tub Tops or Hum Mountains.
A California exchange notices a lake which
has recently been discovered in Nevada. which,
although but 400 feet iu length by UIIO in
breadth, has been sounded tn the depth of 700
feet without finding any bottom. It probably
occupies the crater of au extinguished vulcano.
A large number uf qnnrlz leads appear to radl-
in every direction from this lake, as a center.
and quite a mining camp is griming up there
Oregon produces a greater curiosity than
that, in the bilio line. About two years ngn a
lake wn discovered in thu Cascade mouutains,
about seventy live miles northeast of Jackson
ville. A party of hunters who have recently
visited the lake make the following description:
"It is thought to average two thousand feet
down to thu water all round. Thu walls are
almost perpendicular, running dowu into llie
water and leaving no bench. The depth of
the water is unknown, and il surface ia smooth
aud unruffled, a it lie to fat below the surface
uf the mountain that the air currents du not af
fect it. It length is estimated at twelve mile
and its width nt ten. There is au island lu its
center, having trees upon it. Nn living man
ever has, and probably never will, be able to
reach the water a edge. 11 lies silent, still and
mysterious in the bosom of th "vverlusling
bills," like a huge Well scooped out by the hand
ol llie giaut genu ol the mouutains, in the un
known ages gone by, and around it the prime
val forest waich and ward are keeping.

The following is taken from a work by Al
bert G. Itichnrdsou, luto war correspondent of
the New York Tribune, and entitled, "The
Field, the Dungenn, and the Escape." Uich-
ardson was at tho battlu of Antietnin :
On September 10. 18(ii, General McClollan
established his headquarter! lu a great shaded
brick house.
Under one of the old trees sat Gn. Sumner,
at sixty four erect, ngiio and soldierly, with
stinw-white hair. A few yards distant, in nn
open field, a party nf oflioers wero suddenly
startled by two shells, which dropped very near
them. The group broke up and scattered with
great alacrity.
"Why," remarked Sumner, wilh ft peculiar
smile, "the shells seem to excite a great deal
of elimination among those young gentlemen."
It appeared to ninnso aud surprise tho old
war-hoiBe thnt anybody should he stnrtled by
bullets or shots.
Lying upon the ground nearhy.with his head
resting upon his arm. was another ollioer.wcar
ing the two stars ot a Major General.
" Who is that 1" I asked uf a journalistic
Iriend.
"Fighting Joe Hooker." was the antwer.
With his side whiskers, rather heavy coun
tenance and transparent oheeks, which reveal
ed the blond like those of a blushing girl, be
hardly looked all my fancy had pointed him.
Toward evening, at the head of his corps,
preceded by the pioneers tearing away fences
for the column, Hooker led a forward move
ment across Antietain creek. His milk-white
horse a rare target to rebel sharpshooters
could be seen distinctly from afar, against the
green landscape. I could nnt believe that he
was riding into battle upon tuch a steed, for it
teemed suicidal.
Galloping up the road and waiting two or
three minutes, we beard three six-pound shot
in rapid succession, nnd a little lifer who hud
climbed a tree shouted, "There they come like
the devil, with the rebels alter them."
From a vast clnud nf dust emerged soon our
troopers, iu hot haste and disorder. They had
suddenly awakened a rebel battery which open
ed upon them.
"We will stir them np," snid Hooker, as the
cavalry commander made his report.
Why, General." replied the Major, "they
have some hatterie up there."
"Well, sir," answered Honker, have n't
we got a ninny batteries as they huvel Move
on."
McClellnn. who had accompanied the expe
dition thus far, rude back 'n the rear. Hooker
pressed forward, accompanied by Gen. Meade,
then commanding a divisiou,
With a heavy force of skirmishers we pushed
nn. finding nn enemy. Our line wns three
quarters of a mile in length. Hunker was on
thu extreme right, close npnn the skirmishers.
A we approached a strip of woods, a hundred
yards wide, far nn our left, we heard a single
musket. Then there wus another, then anoth
er, nnd in nn instant our whole line blazed
like a train of powder, in one long sheet of
flame.
Bight on our front, through -the narrow belt
of woods, to near that it seemed that we might
toss a pebble tn them, rnse a countless horde
of rebels, almost instantly obrciirtu liy the lire
from their muskets and the smoke of their bat
teries. My confrere and myself were within a few
yards nf Hooker. It wns a very hot place
The combined and mingled hum of the bullets
was like the din of a Lowell factory. Solid
shot and shell came shrieking through tho air,
hut over our heads, as we wero ou the extreme
lelt. Hoi ker common-place before the mo
ment he heard the guns, loomed np into gigun
tic stature. His eye gleamed with tho great
anger of battle. Ho seemed to know exactly
what to do, to feel that he was master nf the
situation, and tn impress every one else with
the fact. Tunning tn one of his Staff, he said:
"Go and tell Captain to bring his buttery
and plant it there at once." Tho Lieutenant
rode away. After giving one or two further
orders, with great clearness, rapidity nnd pre
cision, Honker's eye again turned to that mass
nf rebel Infantry in the woods, aud ho said tu
another officer, with grent emphasis : "Go nnd
tell Captain to bring his battery here tn-
stuntly "
Sending more messages to the various divi
sions and batteries, only a single member of
the Staff remained. Once more scanning the
woods with his eager eye. Hooker directed the
aid : "Go and tell Captain tn bring that
battery here without one second's delay. Why.
my God. how we can pour it into thuir infant
ry !" By this time several uf th body guard
had fallen from their saddles. Our horses
plunged wildly. A shell plowed thu , ground
nmler my rearing steed. Honker leap d his
white horse over a low fence into nn adjacent
orchard, whither we gladly followed. The de
sired battery, stimulated by three successive
messages, camo up wilh smoking horses at a
full run, w as uuliiubered in the twinkling ol an
eye, and began tn pour shots into the enemy,
who were also suffering severely from our in
fantry discharges. , It was not many seconds
before they began to waver. Through the rift
ing smoke we could see their line sway tn and
fro; then it broke like a Ihiw iu a grent river.
Hooker rnse in his saddle, and in a voice of
suppressed thunder, exclaimed ; "There they
go. liod d n them ! Forward !" Our whole
line moved on. It was now nearly dark. Hav
ing shared the experience of "Fighting Joe
Hooker" quite loug enough, I turned toward
the rear. ,
Honker, wounded before noon, wns carried
from the field. Had be not beeu disabled, he
would probably have made it a decisive con
iliet.
Kenlizing that it wnt one of the world's great
days, he said, "I would gludly huvo compro
mised with the enemy I'V receiving a morlul
wound nt night, could I have remained at the
head of my troops until the sun went down."

then it they neglect tn rxternnnato the same,

A Leoal Miiiiih.k. The curious result of
tho Triii-t divorce suit admirably illustrates the
folly nf the existing roles n to the admissibility
of evidence, which by refusing the testimony
nf thuse who really know most of the matter at
issue, often deleat tho ends ot Justice, although
the npplioation of them does uot always, as in
this case, remit in a pulpnhln absurdity. One
nf nnr ennrts line, in fact, decided that Trust
has two wives. find yet that he has not commit
ted bigamy. The plaintiff brought the suit
against him, alleging marriage and infidelity.
The defendant denied tho marriage, and pro
duced a witness to whom he avers he was mar
ried long before his acqnnntniice with the
nlaiiitifl'. The womun's testimony cmild not
he received heoause, by hor own confession,
she was the defendant's wife, Hor exclusion
was an acknowledgment on the pnrt nf the
court that sho was his wife, - If, however, her
evidence had been received, the court would
already have decided that she was not bis wifu
and thus settled in advance the very point up
on which she was called to testify. It having
been thus acknowledged that the witness is
Trust's wife, the jury brought in a verdict for
the plaintiff, legally establishing the latter'
claim as the true wife. Now the defendant
has not committed bigamy, because if he wns
married tn the witness the plaintiff could nnt
be hi lawful wife, nnr entitled tn a divorce.
But if she is his lawful wife, then he wus nnt
married tn the witness.and her testimony ought
to have been received. If, on the other hand,
that testimony, when received, had proved her
tu bo his wife, then it ought not to hare been
received, nnd yet from the exclusion of it, be
cause it is true, a verdict Is given In favor of
the plaintiff to whioh she is uot entitled if the
evidence nf the witness was rightfully exclud
ed. While the evidence nf the woman whom
Trust avers to be his lawful wife is thus ex
cluded, in accordance with tho ancient rule
that wives cannot testify against their" hus
bands, the evidence nf the defendant himself
ia excluded, in compliance with n rule equally
ancient, on account of his religious opinions.
The result is, that the defendant has no oppor
tunity to prove the trnlh of his defense, nnd
the court divorces him from one woman nnd
prohibits another from testifying because she
had been married tnhiin. without allowing him
who has the best knowledge nf nil the facts to
unfold them to the jury. iV. Y. Cor. Sacra

After the court had adjourned ono afternoon, as
