The TVrGHjjMnn in tho Wrouu Tlace In a recent issue of the Evansville Courier, the guiit of Gen. James C. Veal eh, Collector of Internal Revenue for the first Indiana District, is very forcibly stated. The Courier very clearly shows that he is just as guilty as was Maguire in St. Bouis. This gentleman, it will be remembered, plead guilty to live counts in the indictment against him. On the conspiracy count anolle was entered, but he made confession to neglect of duty. He could scarcely have done les?. While he was in charge of the collectors oltice, under oatli to carefully guard the Governments interests, one of the most gigantic conspiracies, ever known, was formed to defraud (he revenues, and during several years, carried ou its nefarious work. Had be performed bis whole duty, or tiny slight part of it, he must have known of it, aud to conceive of him as having grossly neglected^ his duty is to take the most, charitable view of his crimes. If he was not negligent, then he was an active participant in the conspiracy and a, party to along series of thefts.

Now our Evansviile contemporary says, and says truly, thafcVeatcb'scasa in no importaut particular differs from that of Maguire. It is possible he was not a party to the conspiracy. It is possible, though not probable, that he never received any of the money made from the manufacture of crooked whisky. But if he knew nothing of it, then he was crimnally negligent in the performs ance of his duty. He must have been not only a very stupid blunderer, but he must have wholly failed to make a single effort to perform his duty, and keep his oath. He is still in charge of the office, the duties of which he has so signally failed to perform. The knaves who plied their thieving trade under his very nose, are very properly expiating their crimes in the State penetentiary. It is an outrage on justice that he is not with them, and a horrible mockery that he is still continued in a place he has disgraced. We sincerely trust the Courier will continue from day to day to demonstrate the unfitness of this man for the place he holds, until the party in poT?er is compelled, by the pressure of public opinion, to, at least, remove h'm.

SITDBKN DEATH OF THE iiiSTIX(?1'ISli ED STATES3IA3.

\U is Found De.'id in Iho Urounds of tiie (roYoriior'sMansion at Anapjlis Md.

Baltimore, Feb. 10.—Jloverdy Johnson, tho distinguished Statesman and Jurist, was found dead this evenitig at S:15 in the grounds surrounding executive mansion, Mr. Johnson was the guest oi Gov. Carroll and dined this afternoon with other gentlemen at tho executive mansion. He was lound dead in the yard by a servant.

Annapolis, Feb. 10.—Mr. Johnson came here last night to argue in the case of Baker vs. Freck, argued in the Court of Appeals to-day. By an invitation of Gov. Carroll he became bis uest at the executive mansion to-day. The Governor invited Chief Justice Bastol, of this State, and soveral other geutlemen to meet Mr. Johnson at dinner at the mansion. They dined about 5 P. M. At dinner Mr. Johnson appeared in excellent health and entertained tho company by his conversation and relating "anecdotes. At dinner bo took one glass of Maderia and refused to take any more. After dinner he suddenly asked the Governor to take him into tho parlor. Ho took tho Governor's arm, and walking in there, sat down on the sofa. At the request of Mr. Johnson, the Govenor rejoined the guests at the table. Shortly alter, a servant appeared at tho door, and beckoning the Governor put, told him that Mr. Johnson was lying in the yard on stones. Governor Carroll went immediately to tho place and found Mr. Johnson lying on the cobble stone carriage way that passes under the porch ot the mansion close up to the wall, and near a door leading into the basement. He hat5 evidently gone down the first steps, and around to the side of the house and had fallen where he was found.

This was about S:lo P. M., and the im pression is that he had been there at least halt an hour. He was then dead and was bleeding profusoly from the wounds on the right side ot his head and face. His body was at once removed into the basement room, and physicians summoned. Dr. W. G. Tuck was the first to arrive, and after examining the body proEounced life extinct. Dr. Ridout and Claude arrived afterwards. There are large wounds on the right side of the forehead, two fractures of the skull from the upper portion of the forehead to the e.yebrow. A dislocation of the finger of the left hand, and a cut on the hand, and cuts on the hands and legs, and bruises. The physicians are examining to body to determine the cause of his death.

ONE THE LETTERS DPJFXTED i0 IUBLOCIV, THE OT1IEK TO A VERY.

Orion Says Hlie TeSograp!: CoiiijiJiny CKU Make

x\o Further revelations.

SI.. Louis, Feb. lu. -A.J. lJverat lias'iitjv testified to mailing two letters lotJoyce, one of wliir-h" contained iv.o §500 greenbacks, he was asked to who the letters were directed. Question was objected to and dismission followed.

If tlioy had found tho letter in tho possession of Gen. Babcock, tho law would not chargo him with a knowledge of its contents unless he had acted upon it but this is not the case it is letter we never saw or never heard of until we heard these rumors hero about it when it was made an act ot Gen. Babcock, it must be proven bj' some other act of his, antecedent to tho time it was sent, The evidence is irrelevant on its face there was only a naked enclosure, but it is clear that the midling of polluted money to your Honor or to myseif,would not make us a member of the conspiracy. Wo submit that it would not, we hold tho testimony of the witnesses totally irrelevant.

Col. Broadhead (for the Government) saiil it was not a question as to the conclusiveness of tne testimonj', but as to its competency, and that is all we claim for it. Wo claim that it is competent to show to the jury whether or not Gen. Babcock was a member of the conspiracy. We do uot say that it is conclusive as to that peiut. We don't say that thi3 is all the evidence we have to submit as to that point, but wo must make a start, and introduce a part of the testimony here and a part there, to establish the charge. No proposition in the law of evidence is more thoroughly established than that a jury, or other tribunal may infer lrom one fact tho existence of another fact. Suppose a murder has been committed in an orchard, and a witness sees a man leave the orchard, with a gun on his sholder about the time ol the murder, and the gun had been discharged—that doesn't prove that the man committed the murder,or that he discharged tho gun. Vet the Court in the trial of the case would tell the jury that they may inior the existence ot another fact from the one established. This case is no exception to that rule. We don't claim conclusive proot of payment by tho witness, but only presumptive evidence of the act. Hardly a case is tried in our courts that the jury is not compelled to consider some presumptive lact. If the letter mentioned was received by Genensral Babcock, wo claim that it is more or less an act connecting him with this villianous conspiracy.

W. E. Storris gave pretty much the same argument of Judge Porter adding that there is no evidence thus far to show that the money was ever placed iu those envelopes. Might these not have been a dexterous manipulation through which the witness was induced to believe that the money was ever put into the envelope, but which iu tact might have slipped into Joyce's pocket or elsewhere There is utter absence of proof to show that the money was ever sent for a corrupt purpose. Men cannot be conjectured onto tho gallows, or guessed into the penitentiary. The principal question is, does the deposit of this envelope into the mail box prove that it was over received

Judge Dillon—I understand that the prosecution hold that the deposit of a letter into the mail box, addressed to a person, raises the presumption that the letter reached its destination.

Judge Storrs—1That is what they claim but we deny that there is any legal presumption of such a result.

Judge Billon—In order to have this properly put to the jifry I would ask the witness wore there two envelopes.

Witness—Yes, sir. Judge Dillon—Were they pre-paid? Witness—Yes, sir. Judge Dillon—You say you don't know whether they contained letters or not,

Witness—I should say that they did, but I saw only the paper and not tho writing I cannot state dellntely that they were letters.

Judge Dillon—Did you drop the envelope in the mail box? Witness—I did.

Judge Dillon then adjourned tho court till 3 P. M., and requested the counsel to send tho authorities to his room.

On the reassembling for the afternoon session Judge Dillon said that the court was prepared to dispose of the question raised on the objection to receive certain evidence.

The Judge then recited the objections as made in the argument ot the counsel for the defense, and said: Upon a review of the authorities relating to tbe subject of the admissibility ot letters written by one person, and addressed to another by name at his known postoffico address, prepaid and actually deposited in the postoffie we agree, both of us, in the conclusion of adopting the language of Chief Justice Bigelow to wit: "This is evidence tending to show that such letters reached tbeir destination and were received by the person to whom they were addressed." The court then proceeded: This is not a conclusive presumption, and it does not even create a legalj presumption that such letters were received. It is simply evidence of admissibility, tending, if credited by the jury, to show the receipt of such letters as a fact, in connection with other circumstances, to bo referred to the jury under appropriate instructions, as its value will depend on what were tbe circumstances of the partrcular case. It is objected also that the evidence, even if admissible' tending to prove tbe receipt of the monoy, should be rejected as immaterial, or irrevelent as having no probative force. If it was admitted hero .by the counsel for the Government that this was all the evidence they exdected to produce for the purpose of connecting the defendant with the alleged conspiracy, its conclusive character standing alone in the case where the defendant's mouth is sealed would be such that the court would bo bound to say to the jury that it could not be safely made the basis of a conclusion inculpating the defendent. it may not have been actually received. The writer may not have been known. His purpose may not havo been known] or the person who received it may not have known why it was sent, or may not have invited it, or have known that it was iu any way connected with the guilty purpose ascribed to it by the prosecution, or any illegal purpose or plan, and as men act differently under the same circumstances, it is for the jury, under tne prcper instructions by the court, to look at the letter, if it waB sent and received ih connection

was then called to tho stand. He tes tified that Col. Joyce handed me two envelopes and directed mo to put them iu'tho letterbox, which 1 did. Joyeo was watching me from tho window of his oflico. I was fearing him, I could seo hiui watching tne. I saw the directions on tho envelopes. Ono wua directed to W. O. Avory, Washington, D. C'\ aud thy other to Gan. O. F. Babcock, Washington, D. C. l^ach or them had the word "persoal"' non the left hand corner. They were ordinary envelopes, and had printed matter on them or other directions except what I havo stated. They had postage stamps on them I did not seo Joyce any more that day I left tbe city July 10*h, IS75, and went to Now York city, and from there to Liverpool. I left Liverpool last Christmas and arived in New York on tbe 0th of January. 1 never saw General Babcock before this trial began.

Cross-examined" by Mr. Storrs: I have been in this city *iueo .January iiiitli 1 can't tell the mouth on which 1 mailed the letters it was eit.hor February or March, 1875, but I am not positive. I think it was in tho latter part of February or tho early part of March. I got tho money first from the Supervisor's office. Col. Joyce stood in front of hisde.sk when ho put tho money in the envelopes. The envelopes were on tiie table when I handed him tho two live hundred dolUr bills, 1 thou sat down to his left I was watching him attentively. Ho first took tho paper o'.it of ono envelop .* :^tvl put the bill in I did not seo him pui.i ':e other $500 bill in the other envelope I am not positive that ho did put it in whether it was the letter directed to Babcock or Avery that he put the bill iu, I can't say when I went to Liverpool I had no especial business there except to get out oftho way I knew I was in tho whisky ring audi wanted to keep out of tronble: I went to London and Paris after leaving Liverpool, and then went to Rome, where I received a letter from my brother to raturn home, he did not tell me it was safe for me to come, and I did not think it salo to return I met Col. McFall when I landed in New York, but tho meeting was accidental lrom Now York I went to Philadelphia, where I met District Attorney Dyer he came to see me I told him just what I had teslidrad to I told Col. Dyer since I came there, what I would testify to on the stand I told him I couldn't be positive which envelope I saw Joycc put the §590 into ihero has been no pressure to make rne remember that there was a §5oO bill placed in both envelopes when I was before the Grand Jury, and on my direct examination I said I presumed tho second §500 was put in the otker envelope as well as the one I saw don't know whether I have been indicted or not tho papers say I am I made no inquiry about it 1 have never been arrested on any indictment, I can't say why there has been no understanding or bargain about it there have been no hints to me that I would nor, be arrested I have no reliance that I will not be I was before the Grand Jury at tho May term, but did not testify that knew nothing about tho whisky frauds.

Judge Krum said, this evidence is incompetent because it is presumption, aud is intended to show that tho envelopes, or ono of tho envelopes, was addressed to the defendant.

At this stagejof the case it is in» tended to establish the conspiracy between the parties at St. Louis and the defendant. It is the connecting link in the theory of the prosecution. Thus far the case is barren in evidence to show that the defendant had any connection with the conspiracy in St. Louis. The naked question is presented that the de fendant did receive a letter contain ing money from the conspiracy. No such presumption can arise now The evidence of the witness has, in fact, no relavancy to the question because there is no evidence to follow to show that the defendant ever received the envelopes. Even if they were deposited in the mail-bag there is not a a scintilla of evidence before your honor or the jtu-y to show thus far that the defendant ever had any connection with the ring ia St Louis, and therefore there can be no presutnative evidence that he ever received the envelopes. .Judge Porter—Will your honor allow me to state more specifically the grounds of objection? The rule can be proved by the confessions of the conspirators themselves, but the connection of another party with the conspiracy must be shown by extrensic evidence. The declarations written or oral, of the conspirators cannot bind a third party. They cannot prove their acts by another man,s acts. No declaration of Joyce is evidence against Gen. Babcock. I learn from the opening remarks of the dis trict attorney, that he proposes to show by the witness that Joyce wrote the name of Gen. Labeock on this letter. If Joyce had said, "I intend to send the money to Babcock," that evidence would be inadmissible, but this evidence is only a written deciaration. Joyce is no agent of ours he is not entitled to act for us aud no act or declaratiou of his can bind us They cannot give secondary eviw dence without proving the destruction of the primary evidence. The question is. is this competent evidence?

A STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT ORTON. Executive Offico Western Uniou Telegraph company, New York, Feb. 10.—To editors: My attention has been called within a few clays, to reports, passing- over our wires from Washington, containing statements to the efteet, fh'3fc, that a recent application to the United States court at St. Louis, to have the requirements of one of several subpoenas, which had been served upon the company made more explicit, was really made for the purpose of preventing tbe disclosure of what was considered by me as damaging testimony to General Babcock. 2nd, That my recent trip to Washington was made upon or in connection with this business, aud that while at Washington I had admitted that the records of the West ern Union company at New York and Long Branch, reGently examined by me, pursuant to eubpoeuas, contained iu the messages between Babcock and members of the ring, which show conclusively that Babcock is guilty. The records containing some of these allegations have already been published. I deem it due alike to public and private matters to say concerning the matters referred to in these reports. 1st The application made to the courts in behalf of the company at St. Louis, was cot in the instigation, solicitation cr suggestion of General Babcock nor of any person acting in his behalf, nor was my trip to Washington on that buisness. Second. No effort has been made by or in behalf of Gen. Babcock to prevent the compauy from furnishing all messages in its custody that has been called for by process issued for an court and all

and Long Branch fiies fails to find a single message either covered by the subpeonaor ontside of it related to any of the cases at St. Louis. Fourth. It follows neoessayily that I have not stated to any person any where that the records of this company contained evidence conclusive of the guilt of Gen, Babcock. I have stated iu a few instances exactly the contrary.

Very respectfully. William Orton.

ht.Loui-i,.eh. 10.—On redirect examination, the witness explained that Joyce was standing up at his desk, when he put some money in some envelopes, and, after placing one note iu one of the envelopes, he turned partially around so that the witness saw only part of the other envelope, and dici not see the other bill put into it. Henry P. Alexander, chief clerk and teller of the United States sub Treasury, of this city, testified to having given two five hundred dollar notes for i-mull bill--, to a man whom he did not know, about year ago, but he could not identity Severest as the person to whom he gave them, in fact, he rather thought Everest was not (he man. Edward B. Eraser, of the distilling firm of Devi* & Fra/.er, then took the stand, and, lor the fourth time, repeated his story of the conspiracy and the operations of his bonse during its existence. There wasjjjnothing new brought out, either in the direct or cross-examination of this witness, and nothing whatever relating, in any way, to "Gen. Babcock, Adjourned.

During the examintion of Everest, and particularly when he was testifying about the placing of money iu the envelopes addressed to Babcock aud Avery, there was a great sensation in the court, and the interest in the testimony was intense, but wheu cross-examination revealed the fact that the witness saw the money placed in but one envelope, and he could not tell which one it wag he saw the bank note but into, there was reaction, and great relief seemed to be experienced by the counsel aud friends of the defendent, The counsel for the defence have expressed them seivest since the adjournment of the courao grelly delighted in breaking the force of Everest's evipence, and seem to be very sanguine they will succeed in like manner on all occasions.

A FEW WORDSTO^FEEBLE, DELICATE WO.ilEN, By It. V. Pierce, M. D., of the World's

I, as a phj'sician, who am dai ly consulted by scores of your ssx, de sire to say to you that I am constant! ly meeting with those who have been troated for their ailments for months without being benefited in tbe least until they have become perfectly dis couraged and have almost ma'do up their minds nev^r to take another dose of medicine, or bo tortured by any further treatment. Thoy had rather die and have their sulferings ended, than to Jive and suffer as they have. They say they are worn out by suffering and are only made worse by treatment. Qf any thing more discouraging wo certainly cannot conceive, and were there no more successful mode of treating such difficulties than that, the princi pies which teach tbe reducing and de pleting of tho vital forces of the sys torn, when the indications dictate treatment directly the reverse of th one adopted for them, their case would be deplorable indeed. But, lady suffer ers, there is a better and far more sue cessful mode of treatment tor you ono more in harmony with the laws and re quirements of your system. A harsh, irritatiug caustic treatment aud strong medicines will never cure you. If you would use rational means, such common-sense should dictate to every intelligent lady, take such medicines as embody the very best invigorating tonics and nervines, com pounded with special reference to your delicate system. Such a happy combination you will find in my Favorite Prescription, which has received tho highest praise from thousands of your sex. These languid tiresome sensations, causing you to feel scarcely able to be on your feet or ascend a flight of stairs that continual drain that is sapping from your system all your former elasticity, and driving the blooui from your cheeks that con tinual strain upon your vital forces that renders you irritable and fretful nay all overcome and subdued by persevering use of that marvelous rem edy.
