Detailed Account of the Abduction of
Dr. Bratton.
The London (Qaoada) Free Press, of
the 17th instant, brings ua+the fall de?
tails of the trial of I. B. Cornwall for
the forcible abduction of Dr. Bratton, of
Sooth Carolina. We present in con?
densed form the most Interesting por?
tions of the ovid on co:
Dr. James Rufus Bratton deposed that
on the afternoon in question, he WBB
walking ont on Waterloo street. He
saw a cab standing in tho distance, and
three men; two of them were standing
in the road, and tbe other was seated ou
the box; as he walked on, the, two men
separated, one going, the other coming,
towards him; tbe latter he recognizes ac
Cornwall. Wben within about six feel
of him, Cornwall sprang towards him,
and seized him in a rude and violent
manner by the arm and shoulder, telling
bim he arrested him under a warrant
He (Bratton) demanded to bear the war
rant read, and desired his assailant tc
show cause why he should be arrested
Cornwall returned that he would do tba
soon enough. Witness resisted, and stil
demanded to know the reason of hi
arrest, but received no satisfactiou be
youd being told that he would hud ou
soon enough. A struggle ensued, in th
course of which both of them foll to th
ground. Cornwall knelt ou his bod
and arms, aud proceedod to put manu
clea on him. Ho called the cabmau t
help him. After some further strup
gliug, the cabman came to Cornwall
assistance and held witness' arm:
The hand-cuffs were then placed upo
his (Bratton'e) wrists, and he was led bi
tween the two men, Cornwall on tb
right aud the cabmau on the left, to th
cub, into whioh he was pushed. Cori
wall gave orders to drive to tho statio
by the back streets. Witness asku
that they should drive urouud by h
boarding-house to get some of h
clothes, but this was refused. While o
the way, witness repeatedly proteste
against tho degradation of the iroi
upou his persou, and demanded to kuo
the authority upou which Cornwall pr
ceeded. Cornwall told him to kee
quiet, and not create auy outcry, lest 1
should expose himself with the han
curt's upon him. Witness returned th
he did not fear to be taken before ni
magistrate or commissioner for cxamiu
tion, but objected to the humiliation
the irons. Upon again demanding
hear the warrant read, still protestii
against the arrest, and telling Cornw
that it waa not law, but force and vi
lenee, Cornwall read a warrant in i
hearing. He (witness) then said t
warrant did not embrace bia name; cl
uot call for him, and afforded no luf
pretence whatever for his arrest. Coi
wall then said that it was not his pi
vince to discriminate between persoi
he (Bratton) would have to go to Wit
sor, where he would have a chance
vindicate himself before Mr. Comeo
sioner Caron, by whom the warrant v
?igned. Wituesa objected to go
Windsor, saying be was prepared
submit himself to any authority of t
3ity, and he thought that in a place
20,000 inhabitants, there should be so
authority competent to deal with h:
He was told that Mr. Caron was the o
Commissioner for this District, and t
he would have to go before bim.

Windsor. When the oab arrived at
station, it stopped, and the driver ?
the train (Pacific Express) was li
They theu drove np and down om
the back streets until the train arm
Then the cab was stopped. Corn'
then took witness to tho Pullman
?nd thrust bim in the interior part o
into a small apartment with one or
seatu. Cornwall said we ought to ge
Windsor by 10 o'clock; no one exe
the porter came into the comparto
un til,wo arrived at Detroit; I did
bear Windsor announced from the t
either by the conductor or porter; w
the conductor called Detroit, he cc
not get in, and Cornwall opened
door for him; so soon as the door
aponed, Hester, the detective, step
iu and said, "Yon go with me nov
replied to Hester, when he said
wished me to go with him, "No,
auder Canadian law, now; that war
does not allow you to detain mo I
?nd I, under protest, refuse to oboy
neither your Government, or you,
have a right to detain me here, ai
you do, you will pay for it."
at the conclusion of this sentence
srowd in the court made demonstra!
af approval, which the court imn
ttely suppressed.
Witness continued: Hester thet
rested me on a United States war
having the signature of the Preside
the United States written thereon;
ter, after I remonstrated with him,
"I will Bhow you that I have a con
lion to arrest you," and we then
seeded to the room where there \
light; he then showed me a commis
both as a deteotive and United &
Marshal, bul my name was not o
warrant; Cornwall was present d
[.his conversation; we then went tc
police station, and all my pu
pocket-book, money, ??co., were
From me; I was afterwards pnt ii
jell in the police station; I was the
in hour or two, when Cornwall ant]
ter came and called me, and the sa]
tendent of police let me out where
ter and Cornwall were; the formel
isked me to go with him and Coi
to a hotel, and I gladly accepted t
ri tu tion; we gota room in the
with three beds in it; I told them i
jad no objection I would go to bet
lid PO. I saw no more of Cornwal
that; 1 was taken to Yorkville,
carolina, by Hester, and was not al
to como back to Canada; I wt
taken before Commissioner Care
Windsor, nor any other Canadian >
trate; I oertainly was taken aoroi
lines out of Canada against my w
that occasion by Cornwall.
Cross-examined-Cornwall did
read the warrant to me until we w
Richmond street. It purported t
warrant signed by Mr. Caron at Wind?
sor. The name on the warrant was Jos.
Wm. Avery. I told him I could give
every satisfaction that I was not the
person, and he said it was not for him to
discriminate. He also replied thut at
the proper time there wonld be a person
able to testify as tu witness' identity. I
never saw Avery either in London or
Canada. When we wore riding down
Richmond street, Cornwall Baid to wit?
ness: "I know you are Avery, beoause I
saw you walking down the street with
your daughter the other day." The
person who was to identify me in Wind?
sor as Avery knows both him and I per?
fectly well. The cabman took hold of
me by the arms and held me until Corn?
wall put the Laud-cuffs on, but did not
after I got up. I made no effort to get
out at Windsor, from the fact that I did
not know I was in Windsor.
Mr. Bratr?m then addressed the court
in a long speech on behalf of his client,
contending'that the case was not one of
kidnapping; -that Britton went over to
Detroit of bis own accord, and that
Cornwall relinquished possession and all
care of him after the manacles were re?
moved. He spoke for an hour.
Mr. Barker abo reviewed tho evidence,
and showed most conclusively that the
prisoner had oommitted the felony
charged,.'and on both counts of which
the evidence was very direct against bim.
Lie recounted tbe testimony adduced,
Sud racutioned that tho evidenco given
by Butes nud Brattou WUB similar, except
m those points whore, if the former had
told what be really knew about the affair,
he would have criminated himself. The
whole mutter, ho ?aid, was so clearly
proven that no other conclusion could
be arrived ut thuu that tho prisoner was
guilty of thu uri mu of which he was
charged.
His Honor spoke of the offence in
terms of condemnation, especially when
the prisoner was known to be n man of
undimmed ability, uud well versed in
criminal law. Tho supposition was that
the deed hid been committed for gain,
and, for his part, lie could not, review?
ing the ovideuce adduced, find any other
verdict than tbut thu prisoner was guilty
of the crime.
Mr. Brutram-On both couuts, your
Honor ?
His Honor-Yes; the charge on both
j counts has been clearly proven.
I Mr. Barker asked that the judgment
of the court might bu pronounced upon
j Isaac Bell Cornwall, convicted of tho
crime of kidnapping.
His Honor inquired of the prisoner if
he hud au jibing to say why the sentence
of the court should not bo passed upon
bim, to which Mr. Cornwall replied, "I
have nothing to say, sir."
Bis Honor then prefacing tho sentence
with a few sympathetic remurks, sen?
tenced the prisoner to three years' im?
prisonment in the Provincial Peniten?
tiary.

THE CANDIDATE OF THE PEOPLE, NOT
OF A PARTY.-The Hon. Lyman S.
Trumbull, nt Decatur, Ul., under date
of July 13, writes:
Whut a beautiful sight it will bu when
you see this people electing a man to the
Presidency, not us a Democrat, not as a
Republican, but as a candidate pledged
to administer the Government for the
people, and not for a party, in this
country. When he is elected, he will
not be bound, au General Grant is, to
select tho officers ho appoints from a
particular set of men and particular
party. He will have no motive but to
make his Administration a success. He
knows all tho public question? that have
been discussed in this country for the
'sst thirty years. He will bring around
bim the ablest men of the country for
the benefit of the country, not to build
np a party that will re-elect him Presi?
dent. What a gain that will bel What
a gain to the people of this great land,
when this interference of party shall be
broken down, and when the minds of
men shall be emancipated from a politi?
cal tyranny as despicable and intolerable

Important Correspondence Between
Carl Schurz ?nd Dlr. Greeley.
?x^Louis, Joly 22.-The following
correspondence was read by Senator
Schurz ia his speeoh to-night:
"ST. LOUIS, June 2G, 1872.
"DHAH Sut: In your letter of accept?
ance you promise a thorough reform of
the omi service in general terms. The
question how the problem of civil service
reform presents itself to your mind, is
one of great interest, aud I would sug?
gest, if it be consistent with yonr views
of propriety, that you give me such
explanations as will pnt your intentions,
in t bis respect, iu a clear light. Yours,
truly, O. SCHUBZ."
Tho following is Mr. Greeley's reply:
"NEW YORK. July 5, 1872.
"MY DEAR SIR: Yours of the 26th
ultimo only reached me three days ago.
I respond as promptly as. I may. The
problem of -JIvii service reform is ren?
dered difficult by an alliance between the
executive and legislative branches of
our Federal franchise government.
Those members of Congress who favor
the Administration habitually claim, and
are accorded, a virtual monopoly of tho
Federal oflices in their respective States
or Districts, dictating appointments and
removals as interest or caprice may sug?
gest. The J. resident appoints at their
bidding.
"They legislate in subservience to hie
will; often in opposition to their own
convictions. Unless all history is un?
meaning, this confusion of executive
and legislative responsibilities and fane
tions could not fuil to distemper and cor?
rupt the body politic. I hold tho eligi?
bility of our President to re-election thc
main source of this corruption. A Pre?
sident should be above the hope ol
future favor, or the fear of alienating
powerful and ambitious partisans. He
should be the official chief not of a party,
but of the republic. He should dreac
nothing but the accusing voice of histor]
and the inexorable judgment of God
He should fully realize and never forge'
that Congress, in its own sphere, is para
mount, and in no wise amenable to hit
supervision, and that the heartiest gooc
will to his administration is perfectly
compatible with the most pointed dis
sent from his inculcations in the ver
gravest questions in finance or politica
economy. It is the first step that costa
Let it bo settled that a President is no
to be re-elected while in office, add civi
service reform is no longer difficult. H
Viii need no organ, no subsidized de
fenders. He will naturally select hi
chief counsellors from among the ables
and wUeBt of bis eminent fellow-oitizenf
regardless alike of the shrieks of localit
and tho suggestions of a selfish poliov
Ile will have no interest to conciliate, n
chief of a powerful clan to attach to hi
personal fortunes. He will becompelle
to uppoint, as will nono deny that b
should appoint, men of ripe experienc
in business and eminent mercantile ot
pacify to collect, keep and disburse tb
revenue, instead of dexterous manipuli
tors of primary meetings and skillft
traffickers in delegates to nominutin
conventions. He will thus transform tl
civil service of 'tbe oountry from n pari
machine into a business establishment?
No longer an aspirant to place, the Pr
sident will naturally aim to meet and d
serve the approbation of the entire pei
pie, but especially of the eminently wi:
and good. As to the machinery <
boards of examiners, &u., whereby tl
details of civil service reform are to I
matured and perfected, I defer to tl
judgment of a Congress unperverted I
the adulterous commerce in legielatic
and appointments which I have aire*"
exposed and reprehended. Up to th
time our experience of the doings
boards in this direotion has not been e
conraged, and this, I am confident,
not the fault of the gentlemen who ha'
tried to serve the public as comm
siouers. In so far as they may ha
failed, the canses of their ill sncoc
must be extensive. Had they been t
corded a fair field, I am sure they won
have wrought to better purpose,
thinker has observed that the spirit
which we work is the ohief matter, a
we can never aohieve oivil service refoi
until the interests whioh demand it Bb
be more potent in our councils, th
those which resist even while seeming
favor. That this consummation is i
distant, I fervently trust. Meantin
thanking you for your earnest a
effective labors to this end, I remi
yours, HORA.OE GREELEY.'

DRIFTED TO SEA.-A party of gentle?
men sojourning on Sullivan's Island were
alarmed, at a late honr Saturday night,
by loud ories for help, proceeding from
the direction of the ocean. They lost
no time in manning a boat and setting
out to relieve the distressed persons.
The cries came from a sloop containing
two negroes, whioh was finally overtaken
about four miles from land,.; The sloop
had been becalmed, and the negroes be?
came so terrified at the prospect of drift?
ing to sea that they were unable to exert
a nerve for their safety. The gentlemen
brought them safely to shore and dis?
charged them, with the admonition to
vote for Greeley and Brown. The sloop
belongs to a Mr. Goblets, of Mount
Pleasont.-Charleston News.
BEHIND THE SCENES.-A leading Re?
publican has in preparation ana will
shortly issue a pamphlet showing up the
rascalities practiced in carrying through
sundry bills iu the Legislature. The
parts the different State officials took in
the matter will be detailed, and their
names given; also, what bribe i and
amounts were used to make successful
Bundry iniquitous measures. The author
expressed himself BB heartily sick and
disgusted at the rascality that has been
going on, and is determined to expose
it. Ye chosen ones, stand from under;
there's a heavy blow coming this time.
Edward B. Wright, the colored steward
of the Blossom Club at Saratoga, who
was reprimanded for raising the flag over
the club 'house without instructions
when Greeley was nominated at Balli?
more, has written a letter, stating it as
his humble opinion that "Horace Gree?
ley hos done more to merit his suffrage
and the suffrages of the colored.people
of this country than Gen. Grant:. Pos?
terity owes him a debt of gratitude it
will never be able to pay, for his fidelity
to the cause of humanity and equal
rights."
The Washington Patriot says: "Co?
lored men are dailly volunteering their
services to the Liberal Republican Club,
in this oity. to take part in thn canvass
in North Carolina ir elsewhei ?, if re?
quired. Yet, a few days since, a state?
ment appeared in 'Grant's ow that not
