D, After our report of yesterday’s proceedings closed, the examination of Mrs. McWilliams Was continued, as follows: Witness understood that she was to recurn in the 3 or 43 o’clock train, so that she might accompany witness to a colored school, where Henry Ward Beecher was to be present. The accused left in the train at 9.40. Witness under- stood that she did not take the letters with her. Miss Harris left two letters under her pillow. The accused had a return ticket. Mr. Burroughs was on Saturday morning, when she brought Mr. B.’s letters with ber, and stated that she was going to Washington. She had intended to visit Washington before, but was taken sick. She said that she left her home and came to Chicago on account of Bur- Troughs; that she had been deceived by him marrying another lady: that she did not wish to TeCOver anything in the suit, but she wanted the people to know that she was not the creature they supposed her to be. Mrs. Fleming kept the house, and there were several parties boarding there. The accused read a few ex- tracts from the letters to witness. W. H. Brown sworn.— Witness wasemployed inthe Treasury on the 30th of January last, and was about five feet from Burroughs at the time he was shot, and about 30 feet from the person who fired. Burroughs was behind wit- ness. Witness saw the person who fired as soon as he heard the shot. By the Court :—She stood opposite the clock, near the center of the hall. By Mr. Wilson:—Witness saw the lady in the act of cocking the pistol, and thought at first it was some sport, and tried to discover whether she was going to shoot him or Bur- roughs. She had a very wild look. Witne: went down the hall, but not very slowly; thought Burroughs had gone down the left hand stairs as witness went down the right. Witness inquired what the shooting was about, and being answered that they thought it was nothing, he went home. Witness did not know where she stood when the first shot was fired. She was standing in the middle of the hali and he stood looking at her until she raised the pistol and left but not very slowly. Dr. C. H. Nichols, (of the Insane Asylnm,) sworn.— Witness is Superintendent of the Gov- ernment Hospital for the Insane, and has oc- cupied the position about 13 years. Witness has made the subjectof the mind for 1s years aspeciality. Witness said that at the request of two gentlemen, neither ot them present, he visited Miss Harris in the latter part of Febru- ary, or Jst of March, and has seen her five times, the tast time on the afternoon of the day of the funeral of our late President. Dr. Nich- ols here read his conclusions, as follows: Miss Mary Harris’s brain and nervous system are large and active. The nervous temperament largely predominates the other temperaments of physiologists. It appears that she has been affected with painful dysmenorrheea from the autumn of 1563 to near the present time. Her mental faculties are stronger and more active than the average of women. Her temper is highly sensitive and spirited, but kind and placable. She has not enjoyed the advantages ofmuch moral or mental training. Her char- acter was that of an uncommonly sprightly and engaging girl, who had attracted the no- tice and regard of highly respectable gentle- men and ladies in Burlington, lowa, who es- teemed her for her intelligence, honorable am- bition, and virtue. Both her physical con- stitution and her health, and her men- tal and moral constitution, are such as to render unusally susceptible to either a physi- cal or moral cause ofinsanity. She has been exposed.at the same time to the pbysical and moral agencies which frequently cause mental derangement, and those to whose effect she was peculiarly susceptible; as, first, painfal dysmenorrhea, and, second, disappointment A BROKEN-DOWN SYSTEM. ‘There is a disease to which the doctors give many names, but which few of them understand. It is eimply weakness—a breaking down of the vital forces. Whatever its causes, (and they are innu- merable,) its symptoms are“ nthe main the same, Among the most prominent are extreme lassitude, loss of appetite, loss of flesh, and great mental de- preseion. Indigestion and a Stomach Cough aro also frequently concomitants of this distressing state of body and of mind. The common remark in relation to persons in such a condition is, that they areconsumptive. Now, what these unfortunates really want is vigor, vital strength; and as certainly as dawn succeeds darkness they can recuperate their systems and regain perfect health by resort- ing to HOSTETTER’S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS. It is as clear that a life-reviving Tonic is required in such cases, as that the dying flame of an empty lamp requires to be revived with new cupply of oil. Perfectly pure and innocuous, containing nothing but the most genial vegetable extracts, and combining the three grand elements of a stomachic, an alterative, and a genial invigor- ant, -HOSTETTER’S BITTERS are suitable to all constitutions, and are as applicable to the dis- eases and disabilities of the feebler sex as to those of men. jy 1-2w WHY NOT USE THE BEST?

From the moment of this disappointment in love—this great shock to her moral sensibili- ties—there was a material change in her spirits and health, and she at times exhibited acts of insane violence. She was unquestionably in- sane attimes during the period between the disappointment and the ‘homicide. The circumstances attending the homicide by her are better explained by theassumption that it was an act of insanity, than that it was an act of malice or revenge committed by a person of sound mind, The state of her body and mind since the homicide is calcnlated to corroborate the truth of the theory that there is a continu- ous morbid susceptibility to mental disturb- ance, and that the homicide was an act of in- sane violence. © By Mr. Voorhees:—Witness said that at his first interview with her, the accused, not only impressed him with ber virtue and truthful- ness, but as being a person of uncommon can- dor. At the first interview the accused ap- peared to distrust the witness. It does not oc- curto witness how the idea was impressed upon him that the menstrual periods of the ac- cused had any connection with her insanity; Tar LOT ete Ee Cl but it certainly occurs at this time that she ha oe eee Wa prines How Being, such menstrual periods. Witness asked ac- cused ifshe was unwell at the time she com- mitted the homicide. She said she was. Wit- ness said he was at that time so much im- pressed with the womanly delicacy of the ac- cused, that instead of asking her the question, he wrote it upon a card and she noted her re- ply in a similar mannar, and said she was nn- well, and that she had been so for thre: ys before she came to Washington, and th: was the cause of her deferring her visit to Washington.

After walking about the streets for soiae time without success, she became de- spondent, and returning towards the steamboat wharf, was just stepping on the Fulton, when she saw the object of her search. She rushed at Aim frantically, and clung to him tenacious- ly, until he not only returned the watch, but, also gave her twenty-five dollars to relinquish her grasp and keep quiet. There were a num- ber of persons on the wharf at the time, and this little incident in Washington morality oc- casioned quite a sensation. A condemned Government horse cansed some excitement among the storemeepets and much merriment tor the boys, on King street, this morning, by walking into various clothing and jewelry stores, leisurely and without apparent concern. The animal was fully secured and baa into custody by the Superintendent of Police.

A dispatch, dated July 12th, to the Philadel- phia Inquirer, from Richmond, says that Col. J. ¥F.Laflin, United States Marshal for Vir- ginia, has seized upon confiscation Writs, regu~ larly issued from the United States District Courts, the Spottswood Honse, Messrs. Hamam & Crenshaw, two noted con- tractors under the Rebel Government; also the Ballard House, owned by M. Ballard, a lead- ing emissary in firing the Southern heart to starve and murder Union soldiers. Rents are to be paid until the sale of the property to the United States. The mask of loyalty which A. Ira Smith has been holding over the Richmond Whig, was esterday bodily withdrawn, and the name of - M. Elliottand J. Shields has been run up to the masthead as managers Elliott has just arrived from captivity at El- mira, he haying been taken prisoner while Colonel of a Virginia rebel regiment. Among the last acts of Jeff. Davis was the promotion of Shields to a Brigadier General, for his faith- ful services in the cause of treason. R. Ridg- way, who has also been recently released from. prison, appeared as editor, and in an editorial over his own signature, says: “I am sternly and inflexibly opposed to the execution, imprisonment or further embarrass- ment of any person who was connected in any way, Officially or otherwise, with the late reyo- lution. All classes and conditions of our people have alike suffered enough. The guilty and the innocent alike have drained the cup of misery and humiliation to its rey dregs. I am equally opposed to the mean, brutal and cowardly policy of confiscation. The posses- sion of property, whether little or much, is not a crime, nor is it recognized as euch in any code written og unwritten, of any nation, civilized or savage, on the face of the earth, anil let not the best Government the world ever saw make - itself the worst and the most despicable, by the adoption of a policy which measures the guilt of an offender by the amount of his property.

Gen, Terry accordingly ordered the paper to be suppressed, and sent a file of soldiers around to seize the building and close it up for the pres- ent. This paper, it will be remembered, was the only one allowed to be continued after our capture of Richmond. Allapplications of loyal northerners to publish 2 daily paper were re- fused, he being so desirous of haying every- thing done to conciliate the “erring brethren,” and all the rebel papers were finally resusci- tated by the original parties. We are now: just begipning to reap the reward of such a childish policy. FROM FORTRESS MONR®%E.

Osz Way To Puntsn Jerr Davre.—A novel suggestion is made by the New York correspondent of the London Spectator, thus: “Mr. Dayis must be condemned to death, but were I President Johnson, I would neither edie him and send him into exile. nor allow jim to be hanged. If he were pardoned on condition of exile, he would merely, lead a comfortable perhaps a luxurious life abroad, receiving much attention from certain people. He must be conspicuously punished, and yet not made a martyr either by his imprisonment or his death. Therefore, npon his condemna- tion I would reprieve his sentence indefinitely, on condition that he gave his parole never to leave the country, and to report himself once @ month to the judicial or military officer of the republic nearest to his place ot residence, and oncea year tothe President at Washington. From any position of public trust he is of course cut off. If necessary, he should be com- orany, supported at the expense of the nation. His only punishment should be that of owing his life to the clemency of the government he sought to destroy, and the becoming humili- ation of publicly acknowledging its authority once a month while he lived, And such an example would be more instructive than a hanging. Thus would I do with the chief ciyil and military leaders of the rebellion.” AFFAIRS IN VIRnG .—Letters from Rich~ mond state that the difficulties between the plante and freedmen continue to give both the civil and military authorities much trou- ble.
