In October, 1836, witness was living at a wholesale clothing-lions in Cincinnati; received a letter from her telling him loromt to Louisville. Mr. Darneille. Where are tbos letters Witness, Never kept any of the letters, because the contents were not fit for anybody to read. Tbe letter said that if witnets would take her own and the child's clothing oat of pawn at the National Hotel she would give him tbe child.

Witness found ber and the child with bo cietbrag except wbat they bad on, and in the utmost destitution. No bedding, matting at all, but a few quilt. Witness took ber clothing oat of pawn, and then she would not give up the 'child. Finally sbe agreed to give up the child, and all arrangements were made, but when be again went for it she hid the girl. Witness then sued out a process and tbe court decided that she was entitled to the custody of I he cbild because it was born out of wedlock.

Witness went back to his business, but she very often sent to him for money for the cbild, and he always sent ber money np to 18C6, but never after.

Oliver" had made a contract to let the child stay at school. She tried to get np a mob to take tbe Child. Witness then bad to take the cbild and Bend her to Notre Dame, Rittenh'onse, Squire, Philadelphia, because the Ohio Sisters were not willing to keep her longer. She came to witness's place of business, made a fusa, and, on an agreement that she would allow the cbild to remain at school and complete her 'education, witness's copartner told her that the child was in Philadelphia, at Rit-tenbouse Square; she then went to Cincinnati and published 4n the Cincinnati Enquirer a farrago of abuse of witness and the Sinters, of Notre Dame. Then she went to Philadelphia and broke in npon the Sisters of Ritteohouse Square, and so annoyed them that witness bad to take the chtld, and kept it quiet nnt ill after THE SUN.

The government, with great regret, adopts the above view. Tbey ds not doubt vour future action will prevent a recurrence of complaint.

They bave no desire to withdraw their confidence in tbe present crisis." Sir Michael Hicks-Beacn, writing to Sir Bartle Frere on the 80th instant, '-rhougb their views are subject to modification by future events, the government, when it becomes possible to decide upon peace conditions, are indisposed to sanction annexation or anv further interference wilh tbe internal affairs of Zola than is necessary for securing the safety of the colonies. Trade Topics svndl Prospects, SEPRKSB1NO ROlIOBa IN LONDON NAMES OF HIGH-STANDING FIRMS FRKILT OseiPED OVER. London, March 21. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "It would useless to remain enent longer respecting tbe uneasy feeling that exists in the city. To tbose'wbo are accustomed to feel the pulse of Lombard street and vicinity the aspect presented daring the past week has been such as to remiud one of occasion with which we are far from institntlng a comparison.

Names of institutions of high standing have been male free witn in a manner to, alarm those wbo easily lose their beJs, and minora arising out of very little, perhaps, nave become more and more serious by repetition. We do not not mean to deny tnat there my be grounds for some uneasiness. Trade generally is notoriously depressed. The Eastern trade in particular has been in collapse for years. Bad business, losses and tbe lockup of eapltal was therefore to be expected and prepared for.

But we. would remind those who mav be discomposed by tbe majors now too general to be any longer disregarded with what facility in the present temper of tbe public mind a scare can be got np.

Prime siebt drafts on New York were selling to-day at percent, discount, and other names at The bankers -here will ship more greenbacks, bat probable not over a million more, making the total abont (2,000.000. Orders were received to-day from New Orleans for United States bonds, and, of coarse, promptly executed. Ia oar own market government securities continue quiet. The latest circular from the treasury has bad no effect whatever upon tneir position, and the tone is one of weakness all through the list. On tbe early call there was some excitement over an understood offer of 4 per cents, at 99 but it was an error, as no bonds could be had oelow 995.

Tbe St. Lontp, Kansas City and Northern road has now ail tbe money it needs to build its direct connection with Council Bluffs, and contracts for the work have been closed. The securities ot the road are all strong aad very lightly offered. Twenty thousand dollars Districts were taken at 81, and Louieianas at 49 an advance of per cent. As near as can be learned only about (200,000 was sent to New Orleans to-dav, of which.

Morgan's Sons sent (150.000. The dram is regarded as virtually over, much to the relief of our bank men and speculators for tbe rise on tbe exchange. Tbe Citizens' Bank will get $300,000 of the total amount forwarded, and it is a significant fact tbat this bank began to draw money from here two days before the general suspension took place. Its managers evidently foresaw wbat was coming. One of tbe New Orleans banks, in its haste to get funds, erdered tbem sent from Cbic.go by a special express train, which would beat the New York remittances one day.

Several private telegrams. to bankers and cotton merchants announced tbe panic over and business proceeding with more regularity. Some ef tbe banks would be in a position to meet all customary demands on Monday. Telegrams dated this P. M.

report bulk drafts on New York at par and commercial discount, showing an improved feeling.

H. Brown, macager of the Western Union telegraph office in tbis city, was summoned before tbe grand jury today, ana demand was made that be should produce for tbe nse of the jury ail telegrams sent and received daring several months past by Gev. John S. Phelps, of this State, Jas. C.

Nide-let, polic commissioner of this city, and A. B. Wskefield, who is alleged to be tbe bead of the so-called gamblers' ring here. Mr. Brown stated tbat be had been instructed by bis superior officers and advised by counsel to say that there were grave constitutional as well as legal points involved io the matter: tbat all dispatches passing over the wires are regarded by the comnany as inviolably secret as are letters which pass through tbe mails, and be must therefore decline to comply witb tbe demand oi ibe jury.

He further staled that the telegraph company is anxious to bave settled tbe question involved, and he requested that the jury mould take such aciion in tbis case as won.d result in a legal decision of tbe question. The probabilities are tbat tbe jury will repor the matter to the Criminal Court to morrew, and tbat Judge Langbton will order tbe issnc of a sabpena ducts tecum for service ujpon Mr. Brown. If tbis is disregarded Mr. Brown will probably be summoned before the court to show cause why be refuses to obey the commands of the srand jury, and the case will then come np for argument.

The cause which brings this condition of things about is the investigation by the grand jury ot an alleged gamblers' ring bere, and tbe conduct of tbe police commissioners in connection therewith. K.test Telegraphic Sn miliary. Tbe long struggle, in tbe Tennessee Senate ended yesterday in the passage of a bill by a small majority to settle tbe State debt at forty cents on the dollar at 4 per cent. Subsequently a dispatch was read to the Senate aud House from Mr. Kelly, of New York, chairman of the bondholders' committee, stating that the bondholders will not abate their proposition of sixty cents on tbe dollar and 6 per cent, interest, excepting to accept 4 per cent, interest for the first four years.

The State credit men now despair of a settlement between the Legislature and the bondholders.

SlWHZTk QOT1C0KA. LOCAL, MATTERS. Interfering tsrftA the Police A Prisoner Shot in an Attempted Jtescue, John Dowds was arrested at a quarter past 10 o'clock last night on Canton avenue and Essex street, by Police Sergeant Swick and policeman J. Command, of the eastern police district, on tbe ctnrse of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. An attempt was made to rescue tbe prisoner by a number bl men, said to belong to the Tufca-rora Socials.

In tbe disturbance which earned the prisoner was Bhot in the left groin with a pistol fired by one of the police officers. He was severely wounded. Tbe policemen state that immediately after the arrest of Downs a crowd of at least a dozen men surrounded them and attempted to rescue the prisoner. At the same time Joan Downs struck Sergeant Swick. Downs tnen assanlted policeman Command, knocking bim down.

In the straggle policeman Command lost bis club, and. drawing bis pistol, fired two shots in the air for assistance. Sergeant Swick states tbat he too drew his pistol, and while in tbe act of removing tbe flannel cover from the weapon it went off. He supposed the hall from his pistol struck Downs, who was then taken to Roehle's drug store, at Chester street, near by, the crowd still pressing npon and threatening the police. Dr.

Prichard examined the wound and pronounced it not to be dangerous. In the meantime Sergeants Backless and policemen Sylvester and E. J. Thompson reached the spot. -With their assistance the crowd was kept back, and Downs was placed in a wagon and removed to tbe eastern police station.

Sergeant Backless states tbat be heard a noise and shouting madeby the crowd as far aa Broadway, and ran out Clinton avenue to the scene of the row. A minute alter, he started he heard two shots tired. He met the officers with the prisoner Dear tbe drug store, the crowd shouting. At the drug store Rudolph Recten-wald -grappled Sergeant Swick, and he was arrested. Just after leaving tbe drag store with Downs the wagon a stone was thrown from the crowd, which passed just over the bead of Sergeant Buckles.

After that no niolecce- was offered. Dr. dressed tbe wound of Downs at the station, and pronounced the injury severe, bat not necessarily fatal. He was kept at tbe station last night, as it was thought best not to remove bim. Jobn M.

Prrilv and Michael Downs (a brother of John) were arrested, charged with interfering with Sergeant Swick and policeman Command in tbe discharge of their duty, and cbargea of assault upon both officers were also preferred against John Downs. The wounded man is abont 23 years old. and is a private policeman at the Boston Street Opera House. He also works as an oyster-sbucker. His mother and other relatives followed mm to the station, and the scene was a very painful one.

Jury Ditty. In the City Court, yesterday, the jury for the third three weeks of the January term was made up as follows: Samuel H. Rao-dill, D. Taylor Hart, Charfes E. Hynson, John W.

Dobbin, Henry W. McKewen, William G. Price, A'exaiider Kennedy. R. 11.

Blundon, Jacob H. Medairy, Joseph H. Harris. Wm. H.

Sevfer, Wm. G. Whitemarsh, James Gilbert, George W. Edwards, James R. Edmunds, O.

B. Craig. George W. Baudell, C. E.

Cassell, P. Bry-son Milliken, William J. C. King, Henlngham Gordon, Solomon Eliel, Harry McCoy and L. H.

Smith. Of those drawn and summoned a much larger number than usual applied to the court to excuse tbem from service. Judge Garey deemed tbe occasion a proper one to comment on tne reluctance exhibited by many most intelligent and reB Dec table citizens to serve as jurors. He referred to tbe comments made recently in the press as to tbe materials composing tbe juries of tbe several courts. Ho observed tbat such criticisms, he had reason to believe, came very often from gentlemen unwilling to serve, and who were always the most ready with excuses to avoid service.

His deliberate judgment, tbe result of bis experience for ten years past, was that the average character of the juries of all tbe courts was excellent better. Indeed, than he has known them to be at any time previously. Ia saying this, be remarked, he was only repeating what be knew was the opinion of bis brother' judges. The refusal of the courts to excuse business men aud others of high character will elevata the standard of juries. Amongst the amendments to the jury law suggested are the repeal of all exemptions on account of membership in volunteer military regiments and the reduction of tbe pay of jurors, making the pay too low to attract the professional juror.

Champion Pedestrian. Charles Rowel, winnePof the late international warking match in New York, arrived in Baltimore last mgnt, on a brief visit to bis friend, Mr. Jobn Morris, a member of Tony Pastor's troupe, acd, with his trainer, Charles Asplen, registered at Guy's Hotel. Rowell was visited at tne botel by a number of admirers, aad exhibited tbe champion's belt to them, it is formed of one gold and eeven silver plates. Tbe gold plate, which is in the centre, bears tbe inscription.

"Long distance champion of tbe world." On either side are figures of a man ranning and walking. Another plate says: "Presented by Sir J. D. Astley, M. March, 1878," and next to it is tbe record ef O'Leary's victory in March, 1878.

Tbe pelt is valued at $500. Rowell, who is twenty-six years of age, and waa born in Chesterton, Cambridge, England, stands abont five feet six lncbes. He is quiet and modest in manner, decidedly English, both in appearance ana the cut of bis clothes, and wonid not at first strike tbe ordinary observer as being a man from whom such a great test of endurance could be expected. Asplen, bis trainer, is a very fine specimen of the Anglo-Saxon, standing six feet one inch in bis stockings, and frank and open in conversation. Rowell expresses himself as much gratified, as indeed he may well be, witb his first visit to America, and seems confident that the belt will remain in England.

He leaves for New York this morning at 10.45 o'clock, aDd sails for Liverpool on Wednesday next. Walking Match in Jiruid. Hill Park. A. walking match which attracted several bundred people took place yesterdav afternoon around Drnld Lake, in Druid Hill Park.

A good many of tbe spectators came in carriages aud other vehicles. The contestants wereJESaward Nickum and Mr. Tracey. The distance around tbe lake is one mile and a half, less 153 feet. Five laps were made In 1 hour 13 minutes and 18 seconds total distance 7 miles and 625 yards.

Ud to this time the -walkers kept prettv closely together, with Tracey slightly in tne lead. On tbe fifth lap Tracey came in abont two minutes ahead of Nickum, making tbe lap in 14 minutes and 4 seconds, winning the match. Tbe walk was for a small wager. Charles Swearer acted as timekeeper.

Mr. Blondell. who took part in the recent walk at Masonic Temple, was referee. Close efa Walking Match. Tbe twenty-six hoars' walking match between Isaiah Hawkins and James Williams, colored pedestrians, elosed at the Douglass Institute at 10 o'clock last night.

Williams won the match, having made 89 miles and 6 laps, and Hawkins 85 miles less one lap. Tbe last mile by Williams was in 13 be appeared perfectly fresh at the close. His 88tb mile was in 11 minutes. Hawkins was greatly exhausted and left the track abont 9.45 o'clock, declining to make the lap necessary to complete 85 miles. Tne attendance was good and tbe men walked steadily during the dav.

Williams was off the track in all 8 hoars and Hawkins 4 boars. A 26 hour go-as-yoa-please match has been arranged for colored pedestrians in tie institute for next week fr $150. A well-known banker of Baltimore offers to add (50 for tbe best contestant. The entries so far are A. C.

Smith, of New Orleans; C. B. Carr, Princeton, N. and James Williams, tbe victor in yesterday's match. Pardon.

Butler, colored, to jail for six months in tbe Criminal Conrt yesterday for assault. He was indicted for shooting Beiij. Taylor with intent to kill, but convicted only of assault. Tbeiudee said be was sorrv be could not be more severe. The records of the court showed a too free nse of deadly weapons by negroes, and he thought there oaght to be a statute increasing the punishment which would make tbe pistol and tbe knife less popnlar.

He wonld have sent the prisoner te the penitentiary gladly had the law allowed that punishment for assault. Spring Produce.

Brough bad rented a boose from Jean.

Moody at tbe Maryland Institute, Sugar and Moiasmee. Tb9 schooner Eliza Christie arrived at Baltimore yesterdav, witb 140 hbda. sugar from Homacoa, Porto Rico. The schooner Frederick Jackson, from Cardenas, Cuba, brought 40 bhdg. mc-laeee for the Can-Iqb gufax Moody on Jacob.

Mr. L. Moody's, afternoon meeting in the First Presbyterian Church, corner of Park and Madison streets, was a gal a crowded to excess yesterday. Mr. Moody spoke on the life and character of Jacob.

A good many people spoke against acob, and yet acob was nearer akin to them than first cousin. Some people are never willing to work for tbe Lord unless they can make a bargain with Him, and Jacob was one of this stamp. He started oat in life wrong, although bis fatner and mother were to blame, and whenever there is favoritism in a family ruin ia sure to follow. Even wnen tbe Lord bad promised Jacob tbe whole land, Jacob made a contemptible vow tbat if God would give him enough to eat. and to wear he would take Him as his God, instead of relying on His promise.

In tbis respect be was like many to-a iy. For twenty years afterwards we hear of Jacob constantly bargaining with Laban. It was a case of diamond cat diamond. For seven years he worked to tree a wife, and Laban gave bim the wrong woman. Even after God wrestled with bim and blessed him be was planning bow to make bargains.

He erected aa altar, put his own came on worshipped stracge gods. This is tbe condition of maDy to-day who talk of "mv church" aiid "my Sunday school," and worship other gods. There are men who take prominent pews in churches simply that they may get into society, and perhaps when the minister is toiling to bnild up the church tbey give a grand dance or ball at their bouses and lead tbe young people away In dissipation. A minister once told bim that if he wanted to see all tbe officers of bis cborch he wonld bave to go to the theatre, as that was tbe only place where he could find tbem together. Some people seem to think it is sufficient to bave as much religion' as will keep tbem respectable.

Like Jacob, they bnild altars, bat they pat their owu names on them, high-souoding names, "EI-elobe-lrael." There are many professing Christians in Baltimore whose testimony is worth nothing. When tbey get op to speak la a prayer meeting we can feel tbe cold chill ran over as, bcuse we know that their record is not clear, and that thev bave done mean and dishonest acts. This is wbat makes the world say. "If that is Christianity tbe Lord deliver us from it." It Is sad to think that the cbnrcb. suffers thus, bat facts like these must he looked squarely in the face.

Mr. Moody preached at night to a large audience in William Street M. E. Church. Habeas Corpus Case.

Jude G.rey, in the City Court, yesterday beard the habeas eorpus case of Anna B. G. George, on petition or her mother and next friendMaria S. George, to be discharged from tbe Maryland Industrial School for Girls. The girl, who is represented to be 18 years of age, was, in obertitnee to tbe writ, produced in conrt bv J.

W. Cornelius, superintendent. E. Beatty Graff was counsel for the petitioner. E.

Otis Hinkley and Thomas W. BrnB-dige appeared on behalf of the school, and presented the papers in tbe case, showing that tbe girl bad, on the 2d of June, 1874, been committed Bv a justice of the western district to tbe school. Petitioner's counsel claimed that, being 18 years old. she was of age. and free to go wherever sbe wanted.

Tbe connse) for the school produced a printed copy of tbe acts of 186Q aad 1870, vesting in the directors of the school all tbe powers of the House of Refuse, and authorizing the detention of tbe inmates until they were 21 years old. Henry George, the father of the girl, was put on the stand, and expressed bis willingness that she ibould remain at tbe scnool. He said tbat his wife did not live with him. Judge Garey concluded to dismiss the petition, and passed aa order remanding tbe girl to the school until sbe should have arrived at the age of 21 years, or be otherwise discharged by due process of law. On parting, the mother kissed and closely pressed to ber bosom tbe girl, who was taken hack to tbe school by Mr.

Cornelius. Taxation of Huilding Association Stoeic. Levin Wool ford, State tax commissioner, was at the Appeal Tax Conrt yesterday morning and consulted with tbe court as to matters of taxation. Mr. Woolford advisee with tbe judges ef tbe Tax Court on practical questions, ana also, nnder the advice of tbe attorney general, decides wbat the law is for tbe government of tbe Tax Conrt.

It is understood it has been decided that members of building associations are liable to be taxed for tbe value of the shares held by tbem to the extent to which tbey are paid up, and tbe tax may be levied through the association.

The fire occasioned much excitement, as a ball was in progress at tbe time in the ins, and tbe stables were occupied by a number of horses belonging to participants ia the dancing When the alarm wag given a quadrille had just been formed.

Some alarm was manifested by tbe laaies ia tbe house until the danger was over.

Oliver on the Stand The History ef hit Association with the Plaintiff, die. There was a smaller crowd at the opening of tbe Oliver-Cameron case this morning than on any day since tbe trial begun. There were even a lew vacant scats -within the bar, but these were soon filled, aud after tbe trial was well tinder way the room became packed.

Soon after the opening of proceedings Geueral Butler wanted the contract ef Mrs. Oliver witn ber counsel, which sho bad promised to bring into court to-day. He wanted to see by wbat kind of joint-stock company this suit Is carried on. Mr. Peter said bd bad requested his partner, Jlr.

Danielle, to bring the contract into court, and be would do so. Tbe contract weuld sooc be here. Geo. Butler. A contract can be made during one nizbt.

Mr. Peter. I am not in the habit of transacting my business lu that way. The Chief Justice. I have sen a great deal to regret in this case, but have aeon nothing for professional gentlemen to get mid about.

There isn't any occasion for any feeling about this or, indeed, for an7 feeling about the case bat one of contempt and regret for all around it Tbe case for Mr. Catneron, tbe defendant, was then opened, aud Mr. O.iver and Mr. Gould were railed. Meanwhile Mr.

Darneille brought the contract betweeu Mrs. Oliver and Messrs. Darnells aud Peter into court and rendered it to Oeo. Butler. Airs, Oliver was recalled to tne stand, and examined at much length as to the circumstances under which the contract was nue.

She snowed a receipt from Mr. Peter far 10, clerk's fee, and SI for marshal. Does not think Mr. Wooos, late treasury detective, was present when this contract was' entered into. General Butler then read the contract.

It Is dated February 17. 1677. and certifies the employment by Mrs. Oliver ef Messrs. P.

P. and Mr. Darneille to bring a suit of breach of promise against Simon Cameron, and that tbe Peters firm and Mr. liarouiile shall each receive one-sixth of the amount either recovered ea snit or paid in compromise. This ended this episode.

Gen. Butler salted the point that the suit BhouM end here. As tbe plaintiff had provsd herself to be the wife of Mr. Oliver, a married woman at the time she claimed tkat she made an engagement to marry Mr. Cameras, ef course this suit conld not be maintained.

He urged that whatever might be the technical rule of the Kentucky statute as to marriage between the parties, the general rule aa to third persons mast be the same in that State as everywhere else. Parties wbo bad held themselves out to tbe world as man and wife were estopped from dm vine that relation when such denial would affect third parties. all third parties general reputation and cohabitation was marriage, as Mr. Startie laid do wn in his treatise on evidence. Tbe Court.

The question is not whether it Is evidence but whether it is marriage. A biga-xnons marriage might carry all thee evidences marriage, and yet there weuld be no marriage. There was a de facto marriage, bat its effect upon Mrs. contracting power need not now be determined. Mr.

Thomas M. Oliver, the se-cailed husband, was then placed on the stand. Mr. mrneille said the defendant was placing on tbe Ftand a man they said was the plaintiffs husband. This testimony was olearly incompetent.

The Court. If you object to itou that ground we'll dismiss the suit right here, for if be is her but band she cannot maintain this snit. Mr. Oiiver testified that be is about 65 years or aee. In 1850 he resided in Raleigh, N.

C. In that year. In March, be visited New York and tcalled at a regalia manufactory. Saw Mrs. Oliver at Osborne's regalia factory.

8he was working Tor Mr. Osborne. to the fall witness went again to New York, and Mrs. Oliver was not toere. In the spring of 1851 he visited an assignation house in New York and there saw Mrs.

'1Ter- Witness pissed the night with ber. J1 a10' wltneB thut she came from Ireland in 1848 with brr lather to Quebec, and then went to Montreal, tben to New York; that she had been mined while at Osborne's by a man named Josuny Piatt, under promise of marriage; this bad occurred since wituess first saw her. She eard ber name was Jiary Ana McCaffery; she said nothiug aooat Duke of Ormond or the Butler family. Witness passed ether nights, blf a dozen, with her. Made arrangements to carry bar to Raleigh as a sewing girl, and she went with witness to luleigd.

She told witness sne bad never been south of New York. She was never on earth' adopted by any family named Stewart near Petersburg. Witness's mother never adopted her. She called herself Stewart sometimes in Raieigh. Wituess afterwsrds took her back to New York, and does not know what she did afterwards; then all relations ceased.

Witness had not been lutimste with her In North Carolina. On the 8th of January, 1S32. witness left Raleigh and went to Louisville and opened the clothing business there. Wituess' mother remained in Kal-eieb. In March.

18C2. witness again met Mrs. Oliver, having hunted her no, and sent her oat to Louisville by James W. Gaskins, his nephew. In March, 1851, she told witness she was nineteen, and she looked that old.

She was not educated. He directed bis nephew to board ber at Mrs. Biggert's boarding hoase at Louisville, and told bis foreman to gie her vests to make. itness then went to Uileiah.anddld notgo back to Lonis viile until May or June, and be found her at Mrs. Biggert's.

She made verts for some time, and at length witness sent ber to a Catholic sciiool at Portland and paid ber schooling. Kite seemed to be restless, and he sent ber to a Methodist school in kept by a Mr. Brown, ishe said she had been baptized a Catholic bias then came back, and witness boarded ber with a widow, "and so far as she and myself were concerned during that time she was aa pure as when she was born."
