I m--- CHARLESTON, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1871. _ . , '; TITE TICHBORNE TUSSLE. RUNNING OUTLINE OF TUE GREAT SUIT. Summary of the PlaintifT? Case-What He Tries to Prove, and What His Op? ponent? Say-Orton or Tichborne, Which ? [Correspondence ofi he New York World.] LONDON, November 24. One of I he conrc papers recently had a car? toon which fairly represents the hold that the Tichborne romance has taken of Ihe English public. John Bull was shown carr)lng the '.O d Man of the Sea" on his shoulden, and finding it as difficult to get nd of him a* ever did the victim of whom Sinbad told to get free irora their persecutor. Everything else, the cartoon tells us, must give place to Tichborne. We have already endured lt for so great a length of time that I can hardly say how long it has been or will continue to be the tonio of par? amount attention. Judges, jurymen und coun? sel have already made preparations to meet v the possibility of their dying before its termi % nation. It lasted forty riajs before the long s vacation, and the plaintiff's case was only Just begun. How long more lt will run neither jurymen nor counsel can say; but as lt is cer? tain that we will have to send yon constan; ly fresh instalments ot lt, I have thought il weil to send you a resume ot the case, so far ns it has been made public, so that your old read? ers may relresh their memories, and your new circle maybe placed au courant with this cele brated cause. After much difficulty In securing a Jury, the case of the claimant was stated by Sergeant Ballantine, one ot the most eminent members of the English bar, on May IL As will b-* re? membered by these who have read Mr. Samuel Warren's famous novel '?f "Ten Thousand a Year," the mest Important cases frequently have as defendant one who is not really so bul only by a legal fiction. As in that famous suit in which the client ot Gammon ,t Snapp Mr. Tittlebat Titmouse, was the plaintiff, and a tenant the nominal d?tendant in a suit for ejectment, so in the Tichborne trial the de femkni is a Colonel Lochington, tetianl of the Tichborne estate in Hampshire. The real d?tendants are the guardians of the infant known as Slr Alfred Joseph Doughty Tieri borne, the plaintiff claiming to be the uncle of this child and the rig'.-.t to dispossess him of ihe estates and title which are now held by him, and which are of large importance. In the general lon preceding Ute plaintiff there were ihree brothers Tichborne. The eldest died childless; the second, who had assumed, in consideration of an Inheritance, thc name of Doughty, left one daughter, Kate, aller wards Ratcliffe, but no son; and the (hird brother bad two sons-Sir Hoger, whom the plaintiff claims io be. and Jame?, who died young, leaving a posthumous child, Alfred, who at present holds the esta'es and title. Slr James Tichborne married a French lady, daughter of an English gentleman and a _ French woman. They had a very unhappy 7 life, making the lite of their child Rogrra "nell upon earth." as he lelicitously describes it. His edcuct'on was entrusted to a French? man named Gnat Won, timi was grossly neg? lected. When his family .eturned to Engl md he was sent in 1845 to Stonyhurst, the greui Catholic college, to schcol, but owing to vari? ous causes, chief of which was lils want of ?^reparation and his gross ignorance of Eng? ten, be made little or no progress. Examined nt Sandhurst tor ihe army, he made a wretch? ed examinai ion,-bul ihe examiners were not particular, aud he was passed. He joined tue Carabineers in 1819 at Portobello Bridge. In 1350 he viaiied Tichborne, and iii re met his cousin, Kate Doughty, with whom he tell in love, whom he wanted to marry, and with whom, as he swears, iie waa mow tami.lar than was right. Refused her hand by ber lather, and unhappy in the army and I j society, where his peculiarities made him , ridiculous, he determined to leave Eng land. Before doing so, arter consulta? tion with Mr. Hopkins, (un eminent solid- I ] tor,) Mr. Slaughter and Mr. Gosford, (the steward ol th - estate,) he made a will. He then sold out of the army, und alter vi-iting ? his father und mother lu Par s, he took pas , sage in "he Pau 1 ne for Va.paraiso, About . this time he was s ight, with light hair and ,' eyes, and by no means bud-looking. He was about Ave leet eight an t a half luches high. During his sojourn ia France lie fell on ids { head, receiving a wound which lett a large ? mark. While In the army he bad a serious ? tainting ?t, fron which he recovered only j when the surgeon bled him in the auk e both ot which marks the present claimant fiossesses. and medical evidence is forthcotn ngthat he could not have Intllcied them within any recent period. Before leaving he ( left In the hands of Mr. Gosford a sealed f packet, the contents of which were known to ] no one. The loi-disant lichborne dec ares ] that he can tell tts contents if produced by Gosford. Wheu the Pauline sailed from , Havre there was on board with Roger Tleh- , borne a body servant named Moore. The , vessel reached Valparaiso in June, 1859, und , Hie pair then proceeded to Suutlago, where ( Moore fell Ul, and Tichborne left him to go to Valparaiso; from there he wont to Meiipllla, and remained three weeks knocking tmoui Tnen he returned to Valparaiso, fi om which he sent home some b rds' loath ers and skins. Having taken a coast in voyage in the Pauline, he returned to Val para?so and Santiugo, and then crossed i he continent lo Rio Janeiro. He then look pas sage In the Bella lor New York. Tue ship was lost. The news having come to England, the next of kin administered the will of his father i ? and took possession of the estates, Slr It ger having been treated as defunct. Instead ol all the erew of the Bella having been lost, Slr i ( Roger states that two boals left the ship; one , ol these were lost; lrom the other he wns pick? ed up by au American bark in a state border? ing on insanity, and was brought to Melbourne, in July. 1853-Just in the gold fever. In com Dany with a Mr. Fosterton of the attorney-gen? eral of Australia, he went io Boisdale, iu tripp- I ! land. Here he attracted Mr. Fosters alten- \, Hon by his riding-an accomplishment of which lie was master before leaving England. He afterwards went to Diago, where he ac cepted nunlal employment, calling himself Thomas Castro, in memory of a companion at Meiipllla. When at Drago he met Arthur Or ton, whose name figures so often in this trial, "a bulcher ol ihe t.\pe-the butcher type of Wapping." This is the man whom the tiefen daubs claim is now personating Slr Roger Tich? borne. For a long time these men associated together. One of the most important que Hons the jury will have to decide is whether Tom Castro was Arthur Orton or Tichborne. In 18?I they visited Wagga-Wagga. lu 1805 Tichborne married. While all believed in the less of the Bella, his mother, Lady Felicltie Tichborne, hoped against hope, and never ceased searching for him. In 1865 Tichborne hoard ol' their efforts through an attorney named Gibbs, who had seen their advertisement, and suspected that Castro and the missing baronet were one. After awhile he wi ote to his mother from Waggo-Wagea on January 17, 1860, his hun previous letter having been dated in Anni, 1854. In his Australian letter he alluded to two circumstances, known only to ber and to himself. She. however, did riot accept this statement ot his us proof, and wrote back to him to that effect. He wrote In reply, glvin, further particulars; amongst others, that, he had been recognized by Bogle, a black servant of the family; whereof it may be said that the apparent theory of the defence was that Bogle had posted Orton on all matteis concerning the family. After going to America, Tichborne returned to England in December, 18o6. He then went to Pails to see lils mother, and was immediately recognized by her. A suit was thereupon commenced for the restora? tion of the estate. It was resisted by the pos? sessors, declaring that the claimant was not the mao he pretended to be. Commissioners were sent out by botli parties to South Ameri? ca and Australia. The soi-disant Sir Roger courted the strictest sciutiny, and for the pur? pose of proving his Identity held intel views with men of all ranks and positions who knew him in early life. His lellow-otficers and soldiers In thc Carabineerp, fellow-students in the College or Stonyhurst, lils solicitor, Mr. Hopkins, in fine, even his own mother, de? clare that he ls Sir Roger Charles Tichborne. The trial commenced on May 10, and alter the examination of a number of witnesses, the. claimant was pluced on the stand on May ito. He was examined through four days, ami lor twenty-three days was subjected to" the most searching cross-examination that the solicitor general of England, Sir J. D. Coleridge, was cai able of conducting. He was I hen re-examin? ed for two days, and on July 7 the court ad? journed until November 7. GLIMPSES OE GOTHAM.

Nsw YORK, December 17. It is thc turn of Hie church-going and 'miet loving people to lose their tempers, for while they shall be returning from service to their homes to-day, the free-thinking Internation? als will be marching np Filth avenue, with drum? and fifes and music from instruments of bra-. The day is chilly, with a light driz? zle, and both processionists and procession seers will leel uncomfortable. The religious p rt of the commnnity.profess lo feel outraged at the persistency of the gentlemen of the Commune, and some of the newspapers are protesting against what they call the "dese? cration of the Sabbath." The law is on the side of the Sabbatai Ians. The old act making it unlawful lor public displays lu ihe streei. other than religious, on this day, is still un? repeated. Il has been rather honore i in the breach than the observance, and a majority of the police commissioners thought it belter not to enforce it now, since so much excite? ment prevails among the workingmen. Ills to be boped that the Legislature ai Its next session will luke the vexed matter of street parades in hand, and settle it definitely. What with the Red Republican letment, Hie raging ol the small-pox, and the daily arrests of ex-Boss Tweed, the city has lost none of Its liveliness The m ?t disagreeable seusatlon is the spread ot the small-pox. The disease has been dreadful in Itseflects in Philadelphia, and now New York and Its suburbs are to have a like visit?t on. In Brooklyn small-pox has been declared epidemic by the health authori? ties. lt is in all the puollc institutions. A semi-panic has set ia among tue citizens, and the physicians atc having all they can do at tending to calls tor vaccination. The authori? ties oller to vaccinale the inhabitants free of cuarto ut ihe hospitals. The disease Iq con? fined to no particular locdiiy lhere or la th s city, and all clas es cf people are attacked. The cold weather assists insletid cf retards lu The old con rove i sy among the doctors as to wheiher vaccination 1B a certain preventa? tive, is being reuewed. The heall h um hoi I - ties hold strongly lo the atilt mail ve. There me theorists, however, who ate i ashing to the other extr. me, In the public prints, and are denouncing ihe practice of vaccination as a horrlb e outrage upon humanity. Tue unfor? tunate citizen,' In dread ol' the Bmall-pox, ls sorely puzzled what, to do amid the disagree? ing counsels ul'the schools. No doubt the dis? ease will prevail in ult the larger cities of the country this winier. The means of dissemi? nating lt here are easy, on accouut of the con? stant, mixture of our people In the horse cars, omnibuses and ferryboats. The authorities are very arbittary in their treatment ol small? pox patients. Whenever a case ls reported or Uncovered, no maller where the nick pei son ls lying, the van is sent for him and he is drag? ged oui of his bed and home und conveyed io tue public hospital. Perhaps lt Is n-cessary for the safety rf the whole community that this severity Hhould be practiced, bul lhere ls ao doubi that many patten's die from ihe shock jf the change, the Jolting through the street?, md the absence ol'the tender care of relatives u the hospltul. The lear ol t ils abduclion and mpiNonmeut by the authorities adds to the Honors of the stnail-pox. Perhups some day joiumon sense will be consid?rai lu connec ion with the treat meut Ol victims of this ireadful scourge. List night and this morning there was an iXtraordlnary rehearsal on the stage of Nib o*s Garden. Tue Black Crook ls to be repro luced to-morrow night with ''unparalleled splendor." Complimentary tickets were Issued ,o many eminent politicians and newspaper nen to come to a private dress rehearsal last ilght. In consequence ol the hitches lu ma minery and scenery ami other drawbacks ln jidebt lo a lirst night, the performance did lot benin until eleven o'clock P. M. AU ihrougu the stu ill hours of th s Sunday mo: li? ng ui,tl almost until the church bells began io lng tor the earlier Sabbath-schools, Ike sing og and pirouetting was going on, musicians *?? re fiddling, ballet masters und scene shitt >rs swearing, and the Hlack Crook upnroprl itely arraiigi'ig his Infernal inc inlattona. Over Wo hundred people were constantly on the ilagc, and the flats presented the curious ipeeiacle of scores ol' ballets girls in pink and lille Children in white curled up In sleep on Iw floors awaiting their turns to be called. The principal dancer in the ballet lo-mnrrow light will be MMe Pieriua Sassi, who is an? nounced as "the best dancer known In Eu .ope." She 's said to be a native of Charles on, Soutn Carolina, but to have been a resi lent ol' Par s and London for several year p-ist. Possibly Sassi is only a stage r ame who ls the prodigy? The Broadway slores are begining Io put m their holiday attire. The windows are irowded with everything that can tempt lld present-giving community to buy. VarieUei }l new and ingenious tojs are exhibited. One of the most novel is a creeping baby. The loll ls wound up with a spring, and when placed on a table or smooth surface, propels itself along, rising Us hands and feet, moving Us head itum aide to Bide, and ac ling, lor all the world, like the real Hiing. Small girls who get this toy for Christmas will laney themselves made for li'e. Every holiday Rea? son brings out some new and popular play thing ol this kind, and the sales are so large hat the luventors are generously rewarded it is understood that the owner of the return Dall-a common gutter percha ball with an elastic string attached-has cleared over two tmudrcd thousand dol?ais, and I hear of like Fortunes made by other manufacturera of patented toys.
