Varions Theories as to the Motives Which Impelled the Publication of hie Soandal, &pectat Disnatch to The Tribune, Wasttxotox, D, C., Mareh 1%—The case of the Widow Oliver against. ex-Scnator Slnon Caineron wag continued to-day, aud contained somo intoreeting ineldents, It appears elenrer ag the case proceeds that, as Gen. Butler anid for bls cHent, “he never promised to marry the woman, never intended to marry her, and never will?

Ing transacted In the court, as nearly every Inw- yer was present, Interested solely in the law polnts, of course, OBN, BUTLER, in his opening argumeut as to the admissibility of cortala evidence, plainly indicated the line of the defense. He sald, in substance, that this affatr ‘was important, not only to the de- fendant but to the plaintif, and in the course of hfs remarks said that they bad here the widow of attenst one husband (aut thes intended to show thitshe was the wldow of two or three more before they get through) going to the rooms of an old map,—and the plaintiff was no chieckon,—att she does not fu her declaration charge seduction, Perhaps she had been patd for tnt,—who knew? She charged a breavh of marriago promise, and that alone, and did not eharge anything else, Now, they say, that. under thts charge seduction can be proved. Gen, Butler claimed that Uney could only prove the breach of promise. After quoting froma number of authorities, the Court intimated that he WOULD LIKE TO MEAN AUTIMONITIOS on acertain polnt, Gen. Butler remarked: “Fortunately, breach-of-promise cages are not ‘as plentiful as dlackberrivs, The race of suing plnintitls die out for want of production." He hoped that the Court would fiterpose nnd pre: yent them from entering Into any detalls out- side of the declaration, aud he added that, If the proseeution wished to open up the seductlon part of the case, the defense “would be com- pelled to offer testimony as to pillows, and the taking advantage of apnearanves,’? whatever thatimight mean, dudge Cartter, who is noted for his quatntness, and for the originality }of hits decisions, sald this was “a double- barreled proposition." The tender widow {3 to show seduction, and to show the existence of a marriage contract, ‘The Court said that they MIGHT OPEN TIS SEWER, but as little as they could. None of them wished to herr it. Finally the anxious, walting widow was permitted to resume her testimony. Her story was that, in her womanly innocence, ghe relicd on the promfso of the venerable §1 mony that he sent for her to comb tu his room at the Congresstonat Hotel; that she called there, wheit he locked the room, iuaisted on her staying, and that she complied with his wish ‘The man whom she secks to make out a vener- able old sinner, sho: sald, argued to her that tt was no urline In the sight of God.
