Carmen on “Black- mailing,” to be delivered at Odd Fellows’ Hall last evening, was attended by perhaps 300 per- sons. The larger part of the audience, we are sorry to say, was made up o' was but one lady present, and rortunately for her she soon fell asleep, and her ears were not shocked by the indecent allusions of the lec- turer. Colonel Carmen, after quoting his hand- bill, went on to state that in May fast he had issued his poem (!) entitled “ The Law-making Adonis,” in which certain public characters “Black Mailing” — he extensively al- pored—or rather Mr. Lecturer sup; (the party) supposed himself to be the party Teterred to in that production—had caused to be publisbed in the Chicago Times a letter pur- Porting to give hts (the lecturer's) history, in Which he (Carmen) was charged with having Dlack-mailed certain Senators and other public men, and thus knew how it was him- selt. Im that letter the speaker was calied 2 Diack-mailer, wretch, &c., &c. He remarked that four days after the publicat’on of this letter a large portion of Chicago was destroyed by fire, and that such a tissue of lies would canse the destruction of any city. He alleged that the publisher of that letter was paid by the Party who supposed himself lampooned im the *Law-making Adonnis.”” At this point a gent'eman in the audience charged that the speaker was telling a false- hood. Carmen attempted to explain, a to read a letter as to his character and . s —— — Cowan, of the Interior Jepartment, and read a quantity of doggerel verses which he said were to be published. They were not r less than assaults upon the private character of public men. Daring their reading most of the audience left, ard d that he shortly after the commencement of his last se- | lection these who remained up to that time Tose en masse and left the hall, with very un- complimentary allusions to the lecturer. ssh Was it Scicipe on AccipENt ?—The Death of John H. Hardesty, of Marlborough—The Marl- borough Gazette ot yesterday says, in reference to the death of Jobn H.

After breakfast on Friday he took a walk on one of the lots belon, oi him to carry out his threat, and took with him a large navy revolver, thinking if thedog made his appearance he would put an end to him.

On cross-examination he acknowledged that he had her down, ant | taking off the strap round bis waist, gave her three slaps, across the back of her dress only. | Hezekiah Edwards was then arraigned on the | charge of assault and battery on Mary Edwards. The testimony was that Mary gave him eau words, and Hezekiah pushed her out the ho’ into the gutter, and Simms interfered in belialf | of the woman, by throwing brickbats at Heze- kiah, when the latter beat Mary with the belt strap. Mary afterwards continued to pack up ber chattels, and in Going ce broke a coal-oil lamp, which enraged Hezekiah go much that h | threw her ont into the gutter again, and got h | head between his knees and strapped her aga’ she at the same time slapping him in the face, and threw the door mat in his face,which blind: ed him fora few minutes.

Speeches were made by H.C.
