Mrs. Oliver gave witness the name of Cooper because they (the Olivers) did not waut the Stewarts to find her, Lett the Stewarts at. the suggestion of the Olivers.

Butler, you can’t blame me for wanting to stir the old man up and get him to marry me, or that I should hold out such in- ducemeits.” One of the papers offered was objected to by plaintiff, as it was an overture to settlement and not acted on.

Mr. Peter repited that ke had withdrawn them because they had not been ureated with courtes: rt said that at the proper tiie the ne- order would be made. IMPROPER RELATIONS, Witness resumed:—It was in the winter of ‘75 and ‘76 that she was in Mr. Cameron's room at the Congressional Hotel, but did not know the precise Ume the improper meeting occurred. She did not charge her memory with it; it was when she was in the Treasury. She did notlive with him (Mr.C.4 as his mistress; a prince couid not call her that; they repeated their jm. proper relations; she did not know how ofte did not charge her memory with it, but whe: inclined; thinks it ceased in June, “76, having commenced in December, 75, It was sometimes oftener than once a week. Witness went to his place in every instance; sometimes occupied his bed all night. Had given birth to two living children; had had two miscarriages. Witness never had threatened Mr. Cameron thatif he did not marry her she would swear that she had a baby by him. Gen. Butler.—Are you sure? 3, Si ‘Mrs. Oltver. Mr. Butle: rae. the letters.)

Butler then read a letter of the 19th of March last, in which she says that she has con- sulted Mr. Carrington as to bringing suit for $50,000, Dut she was willing to take $10,000; that. she had been injured, it was a matter of life and death with her, closing: “And I am go- ing before the court next week fo swear to the truth that you are the father of this baby, so it will not come into the world unprovéled for, You have forced me to do this.” Gen.

Butler.—If this was the only interv you bad, how came you to pen the outrageous falsehoods contained in the letter? [The irtter above referred to.) Mr. Peters objected to this mode of examtna- tion, and Claimed that a lady should not be in- ed. sulted. Gen. Butler replied that he yielded to no known man in his devotion to the sex, and re peated what he had asked. When a woman is [see she fs above the angels, and when bad she below the angels. ‘The court intimated that the language was not proper. Gen. Butier sald he owed an apology to the court, and remarked that so long as Mr. Cam eron was here he could control himself, but when the name of a lady is brought in who has nothing but her character,he may have allowed his feelings to get the better of hin. THE POWD! WDER. Witness resumed, and said that Mr. Cameron told her that Anna Davis got the medicine, and he (C.) opened her mouth and put itin. It was a powder. She believed now that if she had swallowed all the powder it would have killed her. She took about half of the powder. -Wit- ness mentioned to Mr. Riddle that she was with child by Mr. Cameron. ‘The counsel for plaintiff objected, as Mr. Rid- dle was an attorney of this court, and what passed between them was privileged. Gen. Butler claimed that the rule did not ap- ply to the client, but as to the attorney, and he Pp led to argue that there should be no class privileged, notwithstanding the telegraph of- ficers, the press, the priests all sought to privileged. The privilege as to attorneys was as to suits pending, and was restricted. The court ruled that the communications be- tween counsel and client are privileged, but the witness had waived her right by coiaing on the stand. * ‘The plaintiff objected. By the tine the hour of recess {one o'clock) was reached there was a perfect jamin the court rocm, the crowd being even larger than yesterday. The following are among the letters in the hands of counsel: MRS. OLIVER TO SENATOR MORMILD. Senator Morrill, you told me to write my busi- ness to you. It is simply if you can use your influence In my favor to say to the Hon. Simon Cameron it is uncharitable for him to send his friends to injure me. He has told his friend, Miss Annie Davis, 136 C street northeast, and that lady told Mrs. Smith,who was housekeeper to the Hon. Tad Stephens, to come and injure me. Mr. Cameron knows full well how I have suffered; and for him to hire these persons and to injure me is unkind. I can show you Mr. Cameron's letters. He even now refuses to re- lace me in office. He can tell you whol am. ‘ou can ask him if it is kind in him to injure me here, alone in a strange place, with no friends. He brought me here. Please intercede with him in my behalf. He Lo replace me in office If he will do that I will let the matter drop, and put a check to these messages from his friends who are trying to injure me. Very respectfully, Mrs. 8. OLIVER. MRS.

Simon Cameron—Dear Sir: If can only see you but for half an hour, I will drop this suit and live to know you love me again. If I cannot see you I will sue you, because that Annie Davis has sep- arated us, the only father and the only one I had on earth; that woman has done it; she sent a man even tony very boarding house to try to injure me, and told Mrs. Smith to tell me'she would send her brother after me, a poor. low creature Cris told me that you put in ofte, made him captain, now in post office at Phila- delphia, Mrs. Whituey told me that this Annie Davis was the mistress of a Mr. Forney, an edi- tor of 2 paper: he had a room in the house where the third story of the house where Mr. Butler's ts, corner of New Jersey avenue and Pennsylvania avenue, and that Annie Davis, when sie was drunk, told Mrs. Whitney that she was a street-walker in Philadelphia; that she gave you toad’s-stool tea to drink, but you did not know it; she gave it to you in water you drank at her house, apd before that she gave It to you at Mrs. Whitney’s.

J can make a settlement now with you and stop all this mischief-making. Then I shull return home. MRS. OLIVER WILLING TO COMPROMISE. Mr. Cameron—Dear Sir: 1 will accept $4,000 with the $1,000 I have already received trom Fou, and when you give me the $4,000 in iny and then and there and forever all claims cease Of mine against you; but if the attorneys I have now engaged insist on more I suppose | must submit to them.

Oliver, 211 4 street northwest, MRS. OLIVER TELLS OF PROCURING AN AKOR TION. Mr, Cameron induced me to come here. He then told me | should be his wife. Then he forced me to submit inyself to him at the Con- Sressional hotel, where he sent for me to come see him. He told me it was no crime in the sight Of God: that we were to be married; J should be his He then told me J shou'd take medicine to produce abortion. I told him I would hot. He then ‘sent for me to come to his committee-room, at the Capitol, and there forced me to take medicine, which worked on me until I was stricken down, Mr. Riddle had me taken to the Tremont House to save Mr. Cameron from exposure. There I was left. to dle until I came away in a hack, MRS, OLIVER TO MR. RIDDLE. Pardon me, you Can say to Mr. Cameron I will accept #1,000, With the amount you now hold in your possession for me, together with a position in the department at $05 per month. If thiscan- not be complied with, I will accept $4,000 now from Mr. Cameron and return home; ‘if not, I will bring suit now and will not advise with Mr. Cameron’s friends (Republicans.) This time I will counsel with the other party. T do not think Mr. Cameron should ask me to pay the ‘Tremont bill he bargained for. ANOTHER LETTRR TO MR. CAMERON. T have told the attorney this morning I would not bave him act for me in my suit against you. You know what to say if he should come to see ‘ou. sGrrease do not tell Mrs. Fitzhugh anythinz about me when you go see her. No one but you knows anything about me. They are all trying to find out who I am, but they will never know from me. You know more about me than any mortal on earth, and it Is a pity you ever turned to be my enemy. Annie Davis has made you so, She sent Mrs. Smith to tell Mrs. Whitney. You sat up boldly at Annie Dgvis’ and showed her my letters, and told her the first time you saw me I came to you for money, é gave me$5. Again please, please spare me! Do | Rot assist those people to hunt me down and trample me under their feet. This is all they want, OLIVER WARNS MR, CAMERON, Hon, Simon Cameron:—Dear Str: 1 think it best f should teil you there is a certain man who tells his friends that he is playing a game on you. He says you showed him a letter from me toyou, sent to Harrisburg and returned here, and that 1 told you that J loved you in the letter. This man has one of his family em- ployed at the ceyiton and he would like a pe:- Inanent place. He says he is going to make more out of you. So beware or him; he hails from the southwest and calls himseli a demo- ¢rat. Youcan hear all such large men as he has to say, and his son, a smaller man, but don’t let them fool you by telling you falsehoods about me in order to make you ‘pay money or | promise to pay them. They are beings in the shape of men, and the democrats have no more confidence in him than you willhave when you come to find him and his son out. Beware of him. Please do not show any more of my let- ters to him; he cannot harm me. When the trial comes up between you and I, I will be glad to show such men to the world. n't give this man a cent of money or promise him any; he would kill you now for $5 if he would not be found out. He was heard to say he would do something to you. SHE WANTS MR, CAMERON'S CHILD TO LOVE. Hon. Simon Cameron:—Dear Sir: If you will give me Simon to take care of as my child I will ask no more. Then will I feel, since I cannot now have you, I will have your child to wait on and devote a mother’s care to. I never have yet told you how Mr. Riddle insulted me. He asked me if Iwould not love him asI did you, and since the insult he offered I lost confidence in him. J took the money he gave me that you sent _me to pay my expenses use you told me before you left Washington. I think you left. I saw you the morning you left in your committee room, August 9. I would have toid ben before this how Mr. Riddie insulted me, ut you seemed to be a friend of his. Now I do Not care, as { know he ts acting for you. Before I was not sure, or could not understand why he offered the insult to me. 1 would very muci: dislike to think you told him todo it, and I would dislike to think Mr. Riddle would do so to wound my feelings.

When my case with you comes up in court I shall tell how I have been treated. I shail have attorneys to assist me who have known me since a school-girl. You know you teld me the morning I saw you, before you left the committee room, you would send me money to pay my expenses when I would be taken sick after I took the medicine, and the money Mr. Riddle gave me was for that purpose; when BAe me the money and 1 would receive it Lasked him about the receipt; he told me tn his office they did amount to any- thing; it was not binding tn my case; it did not prevent me from be Ged suit; but to consult With no attorney until he had the matter out of his hands. I wish I hada home in Florida. I could take Simon to and spend part of the year there—and have you come to see me. Wouidn't that be splendid, among birds, flowers, and sun- shine? J could wait on you both. It would be So nice to live at Florida—you would become young again.

Kind Sir:—I am alone, have no relations, no friends, and through the kindness of Hon. 8. Cameron, your brother, I have been able to help myself. But unfortunately now a woman (ex- cuse the word) learned that I had often been to see Mr. Cameron, and she thinks that there is no better or kinder gentleman on the globe. Because of this, she ts doing all sne can to injure me. She says she Is related to your sister, Mrs Cameron, and calls a boy Mrs. Cameron sent to board with her a cousin. The boy is no relation. He says he would not stop with her but to please ‘Mrs, Cameron, and I am sure Mrs. Cameron was no relation either. She 1s from Harrisburg, and boasts of Mr. Cameron’s support of her for years. Her name is Annie Davis, Let her rela- Uon with Mrs. Cameron be what it may, she Should not try to injure me. Please tell Mr. Cameron of this, if you can do so; if not, please advise me what I ‘shall do. Pardon my confi dence, but I am really distressed about it or I should not send you this. Mr. Cameron is too good, too kind, to be persuaded to comply with the desires or will of such as would so unchari- tably injure one who has no knowledge of her only as she so boastingly teils the public who she is. Hoplug you will quell the spirit of this woman, this enemy of mine, I remain, respect ly, Mary STEWakr OLIVER, 478 Missouri avenue, city. ‘he boy's name js Eddie Camp, from Gettys- burg.

He bought her a horse, and has servants to wait on her, He lives there almost. Mr. Cameron is going to carry this woman to the springs. It is said here that the Hon. “Tad” Stevens brought this woman from Harrisburg and placed her in the office of the Coast Survey; but now, and for twenty years, Mr. Cameron has had her, OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT ON a YOUNG LaDy.

Her outcries were so loud that they finally became frightened and re- leased her, and she made her way home, her clothing torn and presenting a pitiable condi- tion, nearly itened out of hersenses. The nileman in the meantime released himself m his assailants and proceeded in the direc- tion the brutes had the po could hear nothing of her. After searching about for some time he went to her house, where he found her in a state of great nervous excitement.

In the Police Court to-day the hearing of the case was postponed until Friday, bonds beins fixed at $2,000 each, or jail. ——_— ES —In the Police Court this morn- ing, ne was arraigned on the charge of larceny of a finger ring valued at $5, the pro- rty of Mary Crane. The information is bases on a warrant issued by Justice Walter, which charges the larceny also of a trunk with contents valued at one hundred dollars and up- wards, the same having been at the time of said taking the propery ‘of one Norman Crane, deceased. “Mrs. Mary Crane” took the wit- pess stand and testified to the larceny, and on the question as to what relation she bore to the late Norman Crane said she was his wife, although not lawfully married to him. The court on hearing more of the circumstances de- cided that she could not set up any claim to the property of Mr. Crane upon such relations— she mot beln in the eyes of the law his wife. Mr. Crane ht have been under obilzations to her morally, but this did not help the case at all, He dismissed the case and ordered the pro- perty in question to be restored to the legal representatives of Mr. Crane. ————— New ORLEANS, February 20th, 1879, ‘The undersigned certifies that he held for col- lection for account of R.
