THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, MARCI 26, 1875. ttonat Mra. Woodhull’s when Mr. Tilton was inere, and tho convorsation turned on THE PUBLICATION OF THE SCANDAL. Mr, ‘Tilton raid sho ought to publish this, as he sould not do it, They wonld crush him. Ho ‘nid Plymouth Church wasn rich body, and vould pay to have tt stoped. Col. Blood was yawillng to doit, for fear ho soutd get into rouble, It was atnted by Mr. Tilton that Ply. mouth Church would pay £100,000 to havo it ttopred, After bunch, Mr. ‘Tilton and Col. Blood wero talking about it but £ could not near what was said, Col, Blood wont away tho nextday, after anothor interviow, I taw Mr. Tilton at tho breakfast tablo carly one morning at tho Thirty-oighthstroet house, and I anpposed ho wae thoro all night. Atthe imtorviow next day, Cot. Blood sald he would have nothing to do with the pabllestion, and thon went sway. At tho timo of this conversation tho proofs wero nil ect up rondy to bo tisect, 4 wad famutar with the proofs and printed elips there. I had tho printed slips in my hand at tho time of tho con- vorsation, but did not know they were connectod with this ecandal, Tdid not rend the Woodhull or Challis articles, but heard pooplo talk about them, Seaw Mr, ‘Tilton and Mrs. Wooubull sit~ ting together often, with THEIR ANMS AROUND FAC OTHER, bot thought this tae perfectly natural, ‘This conversation was about four or tive wooks bofore tho publication. % Cross-eramined: Tcame North in 1869, about tho Intter part of March. TI was in Petersburg befora tho War closed, Wofore tho War I be- longed to Miss House, in Brunswick County, aLunt 65 miles from Petorsburg. Voforo that tras hiréd out becautso L waa too young for work, My uuele's attendant was Dr. May, an old white. naired gentleman, I did not know if ho had sore oyes.

I did the marketing for Mra. Woodhull, and saw Mr. Tilton thore for tho first timo thtos or four weeks alter L care there; 1% was on the occasion of a locture of some kind there, because some people were sgxombled., I lind not beon there at the time.

I do not remem- bor Beet lum again at tho hones. 1 was intro- deed to him at the oflice, and this was my fret acquaintance, I think I saw him again at tho house in sho end of the spring or the beginning of the summer: but of this J am not sure.

At the time of the Grecloy Presidential campaign—I conld not<tell how long before—I was arrested.

DEM AS A DEAUONKSH OF PLYMOUTIL, New York Sun, Wo have heard tho rumor, though it tn difll- cult, to credit it, that, goon after the conclusion of tho presont trial, Miss Bossio Turner is to bo ordained asa Denconcss of Plymouth Church, If thia shonld,be true, what a tramondons crowd mt assemble to witnoss the Isying-on of panda, ‘DR. KENEALY. aio Makes Troublo in tho Mouse of Commons, Correspondence New York Timea, Loxnos, March 6.—If a stranger had visited the House of Commons on Thursday afternoon he would havo imagined, from the dense throug with which it was crowded from floor to ceiling, and from the sir of suimation, and evon oxcite- ment, which porvaded the assembly, that somo national event of transcondent importance was about to bo transacted. ‘Lhe Prince of Wales, Vrinco Christinn, and a° host of Poors had eame down oxpressly to gratify their cu- riosity, and everything betokeved that somo incidont of momontous {mportanco was abont to take place, And what do you think it ronlly was that caused all thia commotion? Nothing buta trumpory passage of army botween two niom- bors of tho Hongo, Nr, Evelyn Ashley, formerly Private Secretary to Lord Valmorston, and Dr, -Konenly, dir. Ashloy had spokon contomptu- ousty of Dr, Kenealy ata political dinner in the Tele of Wight, declaring that s man who oditod such a senndalous paper as tho muplisionan, and who bad. ay counsol for the claimant, put a faleo+ witness that te, Lulo— into the box, was” quite unfit to sitin Parlisment; and Dr. Kondaly had givon notico that he would havo it out with bis accuser before tho House. It was oxpected that he would deliver one of his toariug orations, do- nouncing everything and everybody;,that thie would bring up other mombors; and that, in short, tho mad rushes of tho infuriated Doctor ou the ovo hand, aud the balting to which he would be subjected on the other, would afford excellont sport. Tho affair, how- over, went olf rather tamely. Dr, Ken- ealy asltuply read the roport of Mr. Auhley’s speech, and asked whather it waa correct, and Mr, Ashloy anewered that eub- stantially tt was so, and that ho thought thero wero cases where it waa noceasary to sponk plainly, but ho would put himsolf in the hands of tha Houso. Tho jaympathy of tho gudienco was, clearly with Mr. Ashley, and thera can ho no doubt that ho was fully Jus- tiled in the xtrang language which Lo used about Kenealy's slanders of tho Judges ard other public men; but the charge of knowingly using u dishonest witnoes is another matter. An ad- yocate {4 nocossarily very much In tho hands of his cliont aud of the attornoys in regard to the evidence to bo put forward in any case, Ho hears only one wide of tho story, and besidos, it ia not his busiuess to alt in judgment cither on his ctient or his cilont’a witnesses, nnd if their statoments appear to be superficially ploualbto aud probable, that ia enough. It ia known, however, that Dr, Kenoaly really did hositate avout Lule, and-that it was the claimant who in- luted on hiv boing produced. Tho question, however, whether Dr. Konealy was to blamo in the mattor was not, as Mr, Lowo immediately pointed out, one which the Housoof Commons could cntortaix. Tho House, ho showed, had nothing whatovor to do with the private charac ter or conduct of any of its members, but only with what they did or saidin thoir psrliamontary capacity; and thls viow was also supported by Mr. Disractl and Lord Hartington, Dr, Kovosly wad very frilioriant that it shoutd be hugyentod to in to take his complaint to a court of Jaw, aud announced that ho had uo conttdonce tu Ltowe tribuuala and would nover appronch thois, Ho then wont of into «a samblin but not partloularly violent = apse. about his right to redross from the Touue, and alyo about his connection with Lule, ‘Toward the clowo ho assurod his hearors that Yo wasnotat alt offondod, und that he regardoa hhimwelf ouly a8 @ lion shaking thodew drops from his mane, On the wholo, 16 was felt to be a tedious exhibition, Fiuslly, on the suggestion of Mr. right, Mr. Ashley apologized, and, in order to muke it clear that {lie question was not recognized ay one of privilege, | motion, pro- poscd by Mr. Divraeli, to the effect that the Jouso should pass to the ordurs of tho day, wae carried unanimously, Although Dr, Konealy falled In getting tho House to make his quarrel its own, ho got an apology, and ho aleo lot the House oo thut he did not mean to submit in silence to sny attacks, Au obstinate and un- scrupulous member has the House very much at hie raatey 10 Various ways, and might apply bim- wolf continuaily to obstruct pusincse and to got up scenos, and Ll fancy that moat mombery are boginniug to understand that it will be prudont to lot the iraucivle Doctor alone, ——— ILLINOIS PRESS ASSOCIATION.
