If the people are with you, then this legislation will stand and we can lcaru to adapt ourselves to these changes in our old constitutional thoughts and habits as we have learned to adapt ourselves to others. Iu the great contest in which we failed wo lost much. Wo lost power and wealth and precious lives. Hut when the people of the United States declare that the right of self-government is extinguished iu the States; that the prerogative of a frje vote, which is the distinguishing glory of American citizenship, can ho exercised only under the supervision of a Federal marshal or the protection of a Federal soldier; that the duties of governors and legislatures to maintain the diguity and to prcservo the peace of sovereign States has been transferred to the President; and when it has become revolution and treason to ask the people to consider these things, then will the memory of our poor ho forgotten iu the overwhelming calamities which wouid follow the loss of Americau freedom. A thousand years scarce serve to form a State ; An hour may lay it in tho dust, and when llccall its virtues back, and vuuquish time and fate. Mr. President, patriotic men of all parties, North aud South, can join heart aud hand in the effort to perpetuate ou this continent constitutional liberty as established by our fathers. In this noble work wc of the South will not prove laggards. Wc wish to promote the best iutercsts of the whole country ; we wish to restore HARMONY AND GOOD WILL; wc hope to see permanent peace and widespread prosperity among all classes of our people; wc desire to see the painful memories of the late unhappy war buried in our hearts, not rising to the lips in bitter words which can only provoke sectional animosity, and wc propose, in spite of misapprehension, misrepresentation aud denunciation, to stand firmly by the Constitution in its integrity, to maintain the Uniou in perpetuity, trusting, hoping, praying that to our children, if uot to us, it may be given to see the States of this mighty Republic, bound together not alone by the tics of material interest, but t>y tlic cords of true fratcuity, ruled by a great, a happy, a free people crowned with nil the blessings aud with allt he glories which Clod in His infinite mercy can bestow. [Applause in the galleries.] Slurs on Women.?Of all evils prevalent among young men, we know of none more blighting in its moral effects than to speak lightly of the virtues of women. Nor is there anything in which young men are so thoroughly mistaken as the low estimate they form of the integrity of women. Not of their own mothers and sisters, but of others, who they forget, are somebody else's mothers and sisters. As a rule, no person who surrenders to this debasing habit is to be truted with an enterprise requiring intn.rr'itt? ?>? ?-1 1-1 ..j u> vuuinuHiii x kiiii nuiua riiuuiu be spoken on this point, for the evil is a general one, and deep rooted. If young uicn are sometimes thrown into the society of thoughtless or depraved women, they have no more right to measure all other women by what they see of these than they have to estimate the character of honest and respectable citizens by the developments of crime in our police courts. Let our young men remember that their chief happiness in life dopends upon the utter faith in women. No woidly wisdom, no misanthropic philosophy, no generalization, can cover or wcakeu truth.

P; The trial of Miss Lillie Duer on an in j,, dictnient for fatally shootiug her once iuti- J, mate friend and associate, Miss Ella lloarn, to is fixed for to morrow nt Snow llill, Wor- to coster County, Maryland. The caso excites ni extraordinary couimcut, which is uol alone w confined to that scctiou of the State. The tl wide spread publicity given to the startling 61] pfiupmlu of I ? - I v*mqvuj } ?? vuv viuiv> ut ico uuuurrcuce, li* through the press, combined with the re- w inarkablc features of the distressing affair, tv wiil lend to the trial a remarkable iutcrest m that will oxteud throughout the cutiro couu- cc try. g< The sad tragedy of last November, iu a which Miss Ella ileum, a beautiful young at girl, just blooming iuto womanhood, lost <r< her life, by the baud of Miss Lillie Ducr, wi is again the paramount interest in this Ui quaiut little Eastern Shore town. Miss a Ducr, who gave bail for her appearance at \\ court, will ou Tuesday be summoned before f0 the graud jury of the country, and over cd twenty young ladies of the town and neigh- th borhood have been subpoenaed in the case, an which promises to be one of the most re- be uiarkable iu the annuls of criminal trials, wi the circumstances surrounding it beiug stranger in mauy respects than a French Di romance. Miss Ella Hearn, the victim, rests sh peacefully in the old Episcopal Church- tc yard, her grave, as yet, uumarked save by ve the green sod and a bunch of roses and a sweet violets placed there this bright spring th morning by the loving band of an old w; schoolmate and friend. Miss ilearn was d;i originally from Laurel, Delaware, where th snc spent, most ot her youthful days, and A where her pretty face aud sweet ways are wi remembered by a large number of friends th aud acquaintances. That she was the fair- pi est and most lovely girl in all the country di about is the testimony of all who know her, wl and her photographs, which arc now pre- cc served as interesting mementoes, with all dc the defects a country artist could make, fj warrants one in believing that she was real- h< Iv beautiful. Somewhat below the medium ye height, she possessed a slight, graceful but ar well-developed figure, and there is a sweet M smile lingering about the mouth in the sii pictures, which is said to have been habit- in ual to her. At the time of her death she "] was scarcely 17. She was a girl of high spir- M its and was gay, cheerful and dashing in t* her disposition. She was highly esteemed ar among her friends and those who knew her ar as a young girl of sweet aud pure disposi- m lion. A/though her education was limited "J t.ft tliA nr?nnlrnmonfo ? a .t % ? ? .... .....uvuniuh jfwmiuiu ai me nigh at school a Newtown, she was i'uirly accoui- be plished, without any brilliant attainments pc or pretensions. pc For some years during the last of her b< school days she had permitted rather than cc encouraged a growing intimacy with Miss Lillie Ducr, whose affection nnd passion at b( last resulted in her death. Miss Lillie J)uer !ij is about 20 or 21 years of age, and has lived th all her life in Newtown. She is by no means to pretty, and is somewhat awkward in her g) movements, as though her female habili- ga incuts trammeled her and she would be wi better able to get about in male attire.? I) Her eyes are large and uufliuching. She he meets your gaze with a steady, firm, soino- sli what distant stare. The face is rather thin n< ! and clearly cut, and her forehead is strik- th ingly high and broad. Her thin lips closo nc tightly, which causes the firmness of her to expression to strike the observe at once, to With short nnd Vflrv dnrlr hoi* . - J K?.vVU ?> the side, she wears a roll at the top or her n head. Altogether, the face ia one which M would not fail to excite interest any where, ho She talks quite intelligently and with ease, f? appears to have entire conhdcncc in herself, an and nets as though she would much prtfor of to<bc a man rather than a woman. Her a intimacy with Miss Ilcarn began some th years ago, aud during last spring and sum- an mer tho two girls wero constantly together, much like sisters Miss Ducr appears to ha vo obtained a mastery over her nioro lo< >mauly but weaker minded companion, ?a d it was an affection more mixed with m tr than love that controlled Miss Ilearn's lo lions. of It seems strange that sho could love qi ch an unscxed being us Miss Duer np- be are, from what is told ot her, to be, She qi mid smoke with the sang froid of a th rcuchman, and was even foud of tobacco T! its other forms, llcr dresses were at ways worn short, and a little jncketwith st side pocket like a boy's, filled with tobacco d( licorice, with a boy's hat, which she M ways tipped when acknowledging a salute, v< imposed the most striking articles of her D iual costume. The young girls with sa bom she associated tell uumerous stories 01 'her curious idiosyncracics. She never a] ired for the society of the sterner sex, tc id would make hot love like a Romeo to oi er female friends. Sometimes they would t< ugh these strange fancies away, at other w incs she would frighlcu theui with her 1 chemcnce and they would run away from k sr. Sho was always a mystery, and a n sung lady who know her well says that it f< as a favorite theroy of hcr's that two wo- ii ten qould be quite &9 happy and get along tl uite as"weII married as a woman and a a lan. In all out-door sports she excelled d II her lady friends, and could jump, shout n nd play base ball as well as any young I: tan in the town. She always carri.d a tl istol, and was au expert shot. I have the it illowing story from a lady who was a party t< > thn affair, and which illustrates the pc- o aliarity of Miss DuCr's character : w Miss llearn began to be seriously alarmed ? hen in company with her friend, and on n uo occasion, it is related, when she, with it ;range vehemence, asked Miss Hcaru if j< lie did not love her, and wcu* so far as to c dually propose that they should get mar- c ed, she fled from the parlor, where they o gd been talking, and locked herself iu her ii torn. These littlo difficulties were gotten ver finally, however, and tho intimacy was I mewed, but not so warmly as before. Miss t< ucr was constantly complaining that "her tl issionatc lovo was not returned" and sigh- tl ig over her "lost hopes of bliss with her J surest friend when they would be always ~ irrAffinr " Tli/irn H-no n ....I.m. ....... /.t" *1 t," *MV.V "US ? jwuug UIUU UI VIIU I >wn who about this time began to pay J arkcd atteution to Miss llcarn, about hich Miss Ducr remonstrated with her in ic most passionate manner, telling her that le would shoot the uiau that took her friend out her. A Miss Foster was also a friend horn Miss llcarn was very fond of, and the ro began to be very close friends. In the orning of the 4th of November, Miss Fosr and Miss llearu had taken a walk toahcr and upon her return home she found j note from Mis Ducr requesting her to call C( her house, as she wished to see her ur- tl sntly. Late in the afternoon she went ith her little sister, and when the two ct, Miss Ducr asked Miss Ileum to take I walk with ber next day in tho woods.? ith the fear ol a possible repetition of the |, ruier shooting in her mind, she very decid F lly reluscd. This appeared to arouse all C c fire of jealousy of Miss Duer's nature, li d she passionately and upon her knees sl gged that her request might be complied tn, but iu vain ? The next day, at an early hour, Miss tl acr called at Miss Ileum's house mid w?s L own into the sitting room where the lntr was sitting with her mother. The conrsation that occurred in the room was of _ gcucrul nature, aud nothing was said ^ ere of the walk. When Miss Ducr is about to go Mrs. Ileum requested her lughtcr to accompany her to the door, nud ie two girls passed out in the passage. ? fter a few moments had elapsed a shot is heard aud Mis Hcarn rushed back in e room with the blood streaming from a stol shot in the mouth. She was inline- t ately placed under medical treatment, \ bca it was discovered that the ball had I itcrcd the mouth and lodged about an inch iep near the upper jaw. Miss Duer had llowcd her in with a smoking pistol in :r hand, but did not remain long. A >ung man named Clark was near the house ^ id heard the shot, and when he appeared iss Hcarn was lying upon tho sofa in the tting room, while Miss Duer, in a frantic S anner, was rushing about, crying wildly, [ have shot her; oh my God, she will die." ? iss Ilcarn lingered for a long time berccn life and death, being at times delirious (1 id raving. She would hold up her right in before her faco in her moments of ental derangement, calling out nervously. ?

Much has {, :cn said and written about what really ocirred a< the time of the shooting. The followiug testimony of Mr. llearn iforo the coroner's inquest throws some ft ;ht upon it: Ho asked his daughter if ie shooting was accidental; she declined answer ; the next day ho asked her again, tie again declined, and turnimr nwuv he- * o J id to wocp bitterly. A few days after- _ ird she voluntarily said she followed Mis? I uqr to the door, where Miss I)uor accused J )r of lovirg Miss Ella Foster better than e did her. Miss Duer tried to kiss wit- ss' daughter, and in doing so fell, and en jumped to her feet in an excited man;r and tired; Ella said she did not expect recover, and, therefore, wished witness a know the circumstances. T The following circumstances comes from lady well known here, and who attended isa Hearn during her illness. The story is never been told before with so much llncss as coming from Miss Hearn herself, 1 id will bo repeated before the grand jury the country for tho first time. During long lucid interval Miss Ilearn talked to e lady a good deal about tho shooting, id relutcd how it all came about. , I Aks soon as the door of tho sitting room <j< id been closed, Miss Ducr, turning about, oked at her intensely for a moment and id, "Ella, why will you not walk out with J { e ? Do you not lovo mo ?" "Oh, yes I vc you," said Miss Ilenrn, "but I'm afraid 'you." "Do you lovo )Ir.???" To this lestion she received no reply, when sho icamc very much excited and spoke again R lickly, "Do you lovo Miss Foster bettor ian you do mo ?" The answer was,"Ycs!" his appeared to terribly excite Miss Ducr, id she rushed wildly about in n terrible ate of excitement. Don't say that Ella ; >n't say that," she kept repeating, while 1 liss Hcaru stood rooted to the spot by the shemence of her manner. Presently Miss ucr came close to her and said, "If you R iy that again I will shoot you," aud took it her pistol aud cocked it. Then she ppearcd to become more calui and seemed IJ i want to "make up" with her now thoraghly frightened fricud.
