Mr. Moar’s Kulogy om tho Late Secretary Stanton. WaSHINOTON, Jan. 18, 1870, Hon. E, R. Hoan, Attorney General. S81m—~I was not present in court yesterday to hear your remarks on Mr, Stanton, bur to-day J was sown a newspaper report of them, which I pre- sume to be perfectly accurate, The following para- graph has struck me with surprise:— Bat it 18 not of the lawyer, eminent a8 he was in the acience and practice of the law, tuat men chieny think as they remember him, His service to mwan- kiud was on @ higher and wider field. He was spend Attorney General by Mr. Buchanan on the 2th of December, 1860, in one of the darkest hours of the country’s history, woen the Union seemed crumbling to pieces, without an atm raised for its support; when, without the public counsels was doubting, and within were fears; when teebleness and treachery were uniting to yield whatever deflant reveilion might demand and good men everywhere were ready to despair of the republic, For ten weeks of that winter of na- tional agony and shame, with patriotism that never wavered and courage that never quailed, this true Alerican, happily not alone, stood manfully at bis pest “between the living and the dead,” gave what nerve he could to timid and trembling imbecility and met the secret plotters of their country’s rum with an undaunted front unttl before that resolute pre- sence the demons of treason and civil discord ap- peared in their Own shape, as at the touch of Ithu- Tiel’s spear, and fed baified and howling away. ‘This statement was carefully and deliberately writven down before you delivered it You spoke for the American bar as its organ and oMelal head, and you addressed the highest tribunal in the world, knowing that your words were to go upon its re- cords and there remain forever. I take it for granted, under these circumstances, that no earthly temptation could make you deflect @ hair's breadth from the facts as you understand and believed them. ‘The inevitable conclusion is that you must have in your pogseasion or within your reach some evidence which convinces you that what you said i@ the truth, and nothing but the truth, I am sure you will excuse me for asking you to say what that evidence is. ‘Che paper | Dave transcribed from your address sounds like the authoritative summary of a his- torian, a8 he closes the most mteresting chapter of bis book.

Do you Gnd on the recoras of your office anything which shows that Mr. Stanton was tn violent or dangerous conflict with “demons of treason and civil discord,” of any other description of demonst Did Mr, Stanton himself ever lay claim to the heroic character you ascribe to nim er deciare that he had periormed those prodigious feats o1 courage wulie he was in Mr. Buchanan's Cavinet?

Who were the dead and who were tue living? and how did it happen that mr. Stanton got between them? What business had he between them, and ‘Wuy did he stay there for ten weeks? ‘These ques- tions you can easily answer,aud tue auswer is Deeded; for, in the Meantime, conjectural mterpretations are various and some Of them injurious Lo the dead and living aforesaid, as well as to Mr. Stanton, who, peg to your representation, stood between el. 1 can comprehend the well worn simile of Ithu- Tiel’s spear, but 1%o not see what on earth was the use of 1t unless you thought it ornamental and origi- nal, or you make Mr. Stanton by huis mere presence, and without @ spear, do wnat Ithuriel himself could not do with the aid of that poweriul instru- ment. ‘The angel with the spear compelled a demon to 1ay aside hus disguise, walle & mortal man dealt ‘With many dewons, and not only made them all ap- pear in their proper shape, but drove them ‘bailed and howling away” out of his “resolute presence.” 1 do not object vo this because the figures are mixed or because it i# an extravi i outrage on good Taste; the custom of the times allows men who make euiogies on their political friends to teer their Fnetoric into rags; and if you like the tatters you are welcome to faunt them.

Some shorc time after he was found on the sidewalk —ingensible, and bleeding copiously from wounds on tne head and face. The head was laid open for four or five inches. ‘The remotest idea of his recovery was not entertained and lor @ considerable time he continued unconsctous, his wile Ineanwihile being suspected of having pitched him out the window, He is now almost quite recovered so as to be able to resume work and indignantiy denies everything that might reflect on his amtabie better halt.

On that day Mrs. Beamer’s daughter, an interesting girl yet in her teens, swallowed a considerabie quan- tity of betladonna with the intention, it was be- Neved, and asserted by the mother herseli, for the purpose of putting @ period to an existence that had been rendered miserable In the extreme by the unhappy result of what the French term une agaire du ceur.

Ihe evening efore last @ fire broke out in the Beamer residence, but was exunguisaed almost as soon as the firemen had arrived. Yesterday Mrs. Beamer appeared at the police cours and stated that a certain woman had decoyed off her husband and had used divers abd sundry threats to- wards her.

The meeting Was slimiy attended, TH BLOOMINGDALE TRAGLDY. Capture of the Murderer. As soon as the inhabitants of the neighborhood of Bloomingdale, in Passaic county, N. J., became fully awakened to the fact that a horrible murder had been committed in their midst (details of which were published in yesterday’s HgRALD) they com- menced a séarch for the murderer with great energy. It 18 said that John Nixon, who committed the deed, remained in the beighvorbood until after the Coro- ner’s jury had seturned a verdict naming him us tbe murderer of David Sisco, after which he imme- diately jeft the vicmity. His pursuers scoured the woods and defiled along the roads, lanes aud bypaths. From the best evi- dence obtained it was evident that he had proceeded im the vicinity of Sterling, in New York State, just over the line. Nixon has @ sister living in Sterling, and to this place his pursuers proceeded. From Nixon's sister they nol only ascertained that they were upon the right road, but that the murderer had left the house but @ short time previous. He had told his wister taat he had murdered a man at Car- mansville and that he was now on his way trying to escape to Canada. Following tn the direction in which they were told Nixon had gone, along the railroad track, his pur- suers Came up to hia about a quarter of a mle from bis sistex’s house. He was captured witu but itttle diMcuity, making scarcely any resistance. He made no attempt to sbield himseif from the accusation against him, but coolly admitted, and in a bragging tone, that he had Kuied David Siddo. He said he “kicked the side of his head off,” and pointing to his heavy cowhide boots, exuitingly added tuat “them’s the fellows that did it.” His capture was effected on Monday evening, and yesterday he was brought back to Bloomingdale and held in Peter Cartan’s hote: at that place under a strong guard, while Mr. P. 3. Francisco, one of the coroner's Jury, Was despatched as a special messen- ger to Paterson for Sherif Townsend to come upand take the prisoner into custody. ‘Tne Sherif left for Bloomingdale last night, so that John Nixon 1s douptiess ere this safely lacarcerated in the county Jail at Paterson. Hundreds of curlous people visited the hotel yes- terday to catch a giance of the individual who could cOUNDIT such a horrible deed; but his eyes bore their gaze with the steadiness of that of a hon in his cage. Nixon's iather does not give ls som the best of characters. He says be has already been in the State Prison and ts a bad boy, and to his knowledge dhe has two or three wives ving, and how many more he does net kaow. This murder is ceriaimly ope of the coldest blooded that ever occurred in Passaic county ana doubtless m the State. The Paterson folks anticipate a first class Banging. WESTCHESTER COUNTY. A Lunatic a? LanGk.—A crazy man was found wandering through the village of Westchester a day or two ago, and after being taken into custody all efforts to elicit his name or antecedents proved fruitless. Jt was subsequently ascertaived that he had been discharged from the Insane Asylum on Blackwell's island, when he was at once removed to the Asylum at Mount Pieasant. THE PROTRCTORIES.—There are now over 000 boys and several hundred giris at the Koman Catholic Provctories in Westchester. The institution, one of the wont deserving m the Stale, waa bever Ip & more flourishing condition than as present.

Court Matrers.—The trial of James Spollen, who was indicted tor manslaughter In the third degree,for having caused the death of John Brophy, at Upper Tuckahoe, by shooting him, was commenced tn the County Court and Court of Sessions on Monday after- noon, and terminated yesterday in a verdict of “not guilty’? being rendered by the jury. Margaret Ker- rigan, a domestic servant, indicted for grand lar- ceny, Was tried, found guilty and sentenced one year in the State Prison, A Rampant CriminalL,—Buckhout, the Sleepy Hollow murderer, who is now awaiting trial in the county jail, still attempts occasionally to keep up @ show of insanity, While his first elort in thls respect of a Teti- cence and physical inaction his ta lu. natic manifestations embrace the opposite ex- treme, his violencé to those around him paving as- sumed a dangerous form. On Monday, wuile be- ing allowed outside of his ceil for a short time, Buckhout seized a stool, with which he made @& brutal assauit on a fellow prisoner; and this cir- cumstance being immediately brought wo the notice of Deputy Sheriff Fora, that officer at once conducted Bucknout W hie cell, for te purpose of securing bun, While maki pre- parauion for the latter the prisoner struck a powerful blow 1n the face, leaving marks that mu: remain for many days. Believing that two could play at Buckhout’s game, the deputy, assuming the jefensive, gave his man a sound varashing, Coe a sequently found it necessary to secure Buck! @ ringbolt to the Moor of his cell. A SWEET BUSINESS. Meeting of the Sugar Traders Yesterday—Their Ideas of Rates and ‘Colors’ of Sugar— What They Wish Congress to Do. A well attended meeting of the sugar importers, retiners and dealers of the city was held yesterday afternoon at No. 109 Wall street. About two weeks ago @ meeting of the sugar traders was neld for the purpose of conctliating te various differences which existed between the three branches of the trade, and a committee was appointed to make a report which would please everybody. After a good deal of desultory discussion two reports were re- ceived at the meeting yesterday—a majority and a minority report. ‘The majority report was adopted after a good deal of discussion, and not until the “dealers” had left the room in a’body. ‘The follow- ing 1s the report adopted:— Whereas it 18 deemed advisable that the duties upon sugar should be levied witn due regard to the duterests of both the merchants apd the refiners, tw the Opmion of this committee that the present scale of duties is nearly desirable for both of these Inter- ests; but it seems to us advisable that the sollowing changes should be made:— Furst C.ass.—Melado and all sugar not above No. 9 ie standard in color to be Laken as tne frst class. Second Class.—AN sugar above No. 9 and not above * No. 13 Dutch standard in color to be taken as the second Class aud the duly thereou to ve onc-half ceut per pound above the rate upon the first class. Third Class.—Ali sugar above No. 13 and not above No. 16 Dutch standard in color to be taken as the third ciass and the duty thereon to be one-half cent per pound above the rate upon the second class. Fourth Class—All, sugar above No, 15 and not above No. 20 Dutcu stanyard in color to be vaken ap the fourth class, aud wie duty thereon to be one half cent per pound above the rate upon the third class, #fin Class,—Ali refined sugar in form of toaf, lump, crushed, powdered, pulverized or granulated, aud all stove dried or other sngar above No, 2 Dutch standard in color, to be taken as the fifth class, and the duty thereon to be oue cent per pound above the rate for the jourth ciass.

A Tennessee paper says ‘‘Brownsvilie hasa colored hotel,” whereupon one of ite contemporary asks, “What color is ity’? “Lrown, perhaps—may be yal- er’? The Boston Pos! says the democrats of New Hampslyre will be wise if they heed the signs of the times, ana adds:— The temperance party are in the field as an inde- pendent organization; ine labor relorm party have formed another, and Unere are fatal divisions in the Tadical Management itself. With these strong en- couragements in haud, with 80 small @ majority at the worst to overcome, and with the best of to inspire united and determined action through the canvass, It can scarcely be necessary to urge the atanch defenders of true republican government in New Hampanire to make a decisive effort to carry the State, A democratic victory in New Hampshire would in- deed be a novelty, and if it does not electrify the wuole country, as suggested by the Post, 10 may gaig vanize some old democratic “Cocky Waxes’ who have been as dead as ine Cardiff giant for a quarter of a century. . The Chicago Vimes asserts that the illustrious Richard Yates, United Scates Senator from lilinols, 1s again “reported to be in a very light costume and on alow diet of pickied cabbage,” and adds that “une morai example of the Senator 1s workmg more good than h ald do in Auy Other way.” A fellow feeling should inake the Zimes more kind. “It's gone where the woodbine twineth,”’ ts be- coming the answer in Washington to the inquiries as to what becomes of moneys alleged to have been used in carrying lobby jobs. A goodly number of our dest citizens in New York frequently go where the “woodbine” twincth—they are compelied to, nolens volens, by force of habit—not for political or Jobbing, but for social purposes. ‘The Chicago Times calls Butler Grant’s “guard- lan.” If it means lis guardian angel Grant may well exclaim, ‘‘Angels and ministers of jops defend us.” A Weatern paper compares butler to a Jesuit and intimates that itis his design to get into the atfec- tions of Grant and at ® proper moment destroy him. Whether this be the policy of the Jesuit or not lt pretty certain that Butler will, as alawyer, endeavor to win every ‘‘suit he may be concerned in. Let any clieut give Butier the wink to commence a suit and be will sue it, you may be sure, The New Orleans 7//nes says Mr. Sumner’s “twin relics of barber-tsm” are to be found in the Louisiana Legisiature—Antoine and Craig. The Boston franscript echoes the yelp of Harper's Weekly that General Robert E. Lee should not be treated with the “respect due to bis own private character.” If every radical member of Congress should be treated with the respect due nis private character i$ might be weighed in scales so diminn- tive that they could be placed on the pointo! a cambric needie whittled down to the lituest point of nothing.
