Aristocratic Swindler. if we are not mistaken, two or three years ago there was a man lecturing in this place underthe cog nomen of S. Adams" Lee. This fellow Is an impostor. He is no relation, to the la mented Robert E.. Lee, Until lately, we had lost sight of tho gentleman (?) J- A few days ago he turned up in Kentucky under the aristocratic appellation of S.j Adams Lee. He pretented that he had lost his right foot in thebattlo between the Meriniack and : . 1 r .. , , . . - . -uvnuor ; tnatne was the relative of some ui me mosi innuential families of the South. He produced letters signed by leading Southern gentlemen. These -testimonials secured him a fitting reception where ver he went. Southern hospitality was never more graciously extended than to Lee, who re galed his friends with readings from the poets, and lectures on marine mosses.' So well did he play his part, that his real char acter was unsuspected ..tmtil, the editor of The Yeoman instituted inquiries in other States, and published the result nsder the head of "A" Swindler on his Travels." This exposition did not come in time to save a worthy young lady , from a serious flirtation with S. Adams. - , 1 'V At New Castle, Ky.t Lee formed the ac quaintance of a Miss Hawks, , a native of Rochester, N.Y. He worked upon the young lady's affections to such an extent that she refused to believe the publication which appeared in The Yeoman. Thecouple eloped, and but for the 'intervention of friends the marriage ceremony would have been performed. To satisfy Miss Hawks that he was a scoundrel, S. Adanis was compelled to make a complete confession.of. his swindles in her presence. Tho lady has since written a letter of thanks to tho( news papers, in which she gives to the public a romantic story of her love and deception. It has como to light that Miss Hawks at tempted to rid herself of S. Adams! while under the impression that he was n im postor. After being dismissed, Lee went to another town, where he forwarded Miss Hawks a telegram in the name of a Major Sandford, stating that he had shot himself in the left lung in consequence of herj treat ment. A letter was received purporting to be from the same person, stating that if tho ball could be found and extracted, Lee knight live. Piteous cries for "his Emma" ind of tho author's faith in "Capt, Lee, of lrgin ia," were tho contents of the letter, i Miss Hawks thought there could bo no petter proof of man's devotion, henco tho elope ment Tn tho face of these facts, the villain was allowed to escape unpunished. We gather these facts from our Ken exchanges. ucky r.ftv w V. TTt if.DE?f. This gentleman has severed his connection with The Wash V" W v w m ington Chronicle.

It seems strange, perhaps, to speak of so long a speech as "concise," but it was a review 01 eviueuw elicited during nearly sixty days of a very searching examination of many witnesses. c;-T-.hn rVklfirirlsrfi has arranged all the facts shown in their proper sequence, and examined their significance, with no super fluity of words, and without dwelling upon details more than their importance seemed to warrant. He has exhibited in the strong est possible light the many contradictions and inconsistencies on the part of the claim ant and his witnesses. He has shown, con clusively, that this man remembers noth ing whatever of the life of Sir Roger licn borne previous to his twenty-third year, when he disappeared. What he seems to remember is easily traceable to the oppor tunity he had to read Sir Roger s letters during his life in England ; ana in aiiouier instances, what he professed to remember is proved to be false.
