end in a lew days time, and
the committee will make a re
port, with the accompanying tes
timony of General Negley, of
Pennsylvania, who is chairman of
the sub-committee will no doubt
endeavor to whitewash General
Uhtler, as he thinks it will do the
Republican party much harm to
make a truthful report of the facts
as they exist. He Uok one of the
witnesses to task a few days ago
for giving his testimony against
Butler, saying : " It is a fight be
tween FransWorth and liutier, and
only hurts the party, ami you
should not have testitied as you i
did to which the witness replied:
' Why, General Xegley, what do
you mean ? Did you not yourself
swear me to fell the truth ? What
do you take me for V" Xegley saw
his mistake, and vanished on sud
den business in the House- This
is a positive fact. Xegley refused
to sign the eertilict'te of this wit
ness lor mileage and per diem,
which the clerk of the committee
hait made Out for him, amounting
to 882 (this clerk, lA the way, is a
Aln. Smalley, who is the cones
pondent of the ! alse-Keportntg-
Tribnno), and after a consultation
with Butler, gnve ft certificate lor

witness lor the Tvctnal outlay lor
railroad fare, and which certificate
he accepted under protest, and
when presented by him lor pay
ment to Air. AlcPherson, clerk of
the House of Representatives, was
refused payment, because
''GENERAL LITTLER HAD ORDERED
these witnesses not to be paid, as
lie wanted the matter to come up
in the House, and had something
to say in reference thereto." This
was enough to stop payment, as
" Butler" is the House.
The testimony taken was rather
severe on the doughty General;
and a the same clerk of the com
mittee, Mr. Smalley, had falsely re
ported some statements to his
I'X'lt-e lit-porting Tribune, General
Butler asked that in future the pro
ceedings of the committee be
secret, which was so ordered ; in
fact, the whole ot the action ot this
committee is taken by the sugges
tions of Butler. Anv and all ob
jections made by him are sustained
by Xegley, General locum, sitting
quietly by, saying nothing. Only
once has lie interfered, and that
was when " Butler," in his impu
dent and overbearing manner, en
deavored to get a witness to swear
positively to the writing of two
words with lead pencil on half
sheet of paper, and which paper he
would not allow the witness to see,
but kept passing it rapidly by his
eyes, refusing mm permission 10
examine it.

pleased, and cunning smile of But
ler, as though lie thought he had
everything his own way, until the
i .... 7
clear voice ot General JSiocum
broke the. silence with the sound,
practical and determined decision,
"Ihat paper is no evidence; when
the time comes that General But
ler sho.ll ofVer.it as evidence-, it must
be ruled out." Butler came hear
fainting. Meantime General Frans
worth, who is prosecuting, got hold
of the paper and handed it to the
witness, and told him to examine
the paper and answer whether or
no it was his writing. (Tins paper
was half sheet of note paper, on
one side of which were two ex
tracts from Pomcroy's Democrat,
IVatfally truthful and abusive of
Butler, on the other were written
two words, "The commencement,"
in pencil, and much blurred by use,
which writing Butler desired de
nied. The witness held the paper
in his hands, examined the writing
and said : ' I do not think this is
my writing it is blurred so much
that I am not positive; but if
General Butler's point is to know
who sent it, if he will allow me to
look at the front of it I will tell
him whether I sent it or not as
' 1 AM NOT AFRAID OF HIM
or any one else, except God
After reading the notices he smiled,
and handing" it back to Butler with
a quick movement that made him
jump, the witness replied, " Yes I
sent that to you 1" 'I his Created
an excitement among the commit
tee ; they saw they had a man to
deal with, and one ot the com
mittee asked? " What was your
object in sending this to General
Butler?" to which witness coolly
replied, " MrsBut ler keeps a scrap
book for such articles at the Gen
erals request, and I thought I
Would send my share to help fill it."
BUTLER JUMPED OUT OF DIS CHAIR,
bit his cigai in half, and spit one
piece out and nearly swallowed
the other half in his rage, while
the most of the committed Smiled
audibly-. This was the witness who,
to another insulting question, gave
the answer that " he had been
drunk, the same as Butler had;
got drunk now occasionally, the
same as Butler did ; and at such
times was not responsible lor any
more than Butler was, for his
thoughts or actions." Ami at
Butler's appeal for protection re

mittee, but himself a very

be said he had enough of the wit
ness, who then left, but Butler ran
around to the clerk's otlicc ahead
of him5 and stopped his pay.
What amount of latitude has a
Congressman to insult by irrele
vant questions and by personal
questions a poor sinning witness ?
Has a witness any rights at alb in
a Congressional investigation ?
These questions are asked in view
of a point made by this witness.
He was informed by a member
that Butler had taken letters of his
former correspondence, and had
shown extracts of these letters to
members outside of the comtnittet
room, for the purpose of injuring
the testimony of the witness. On
the examination of the witness he
produced the whole of the corres
pondence, stated the facts, and in
view
ftttj.KTi's, DIRTY' ACTION,
demanded that the whole corres
pondence should be read, to which
Butler quickly objected, and. Xeg
ley as quickly decided against. '
This is a spicy correspondence.
The witness, in one of the letters,
charges upon Butler an unmen
tionable crime, committed while he
was confidential aid-de-camp to
Butler, and which would ruin him
socially ? should the letters have
been read openly in the committee
room, as the witness desired and
demanded. I am promised a copy
of this correspondence for publica
tion in the iSun, and I can assure
you it is rich. I expect to get it in
a few days.
When the point was decided
against the witness, he again made
the point and demanded it as his
right, but was ruled out ; when
General Fransworth took the let
ters and said he would have them
read, if at any time General But
ler should attempt to oiler any
letter-; and in his hands they now
are. ,
Tiiis case may end in a white
wash for Butler; but mark nie-j
HIS DAY IS GONE,
There will be other charges against
him, and cut of this investigation
will grow much good. lie has
started a man who does not fear
him or his influences; who would
have doiie. him kindness, notwith
standing the bitter prosecution of
Butler. Let him now look to him
self, especially when there is no

Klder Miles Grant, contained in
the issue of the 15th of this month.
The correspondent is Kev. Wil

inal Abolitionist. He writes under
-date of the 20th and 27th of last
month, from Irviugton, a village
situated near" Macon, Georgia, as
follows : ; ;
The entire community is kept ir.

entered the house of a widow and
after violating her person, and that

left them for dead. These scenes
are so frequent that they seldom
find their way into the press.

Map-Stone. The faith in the
virtue of mad-stones, or poison
stones, says the X. Y. Timc? for
neutralizing the effect ot snake
bites, dates back for centuries, com
ing from the East. The Monks of
Manilla carry on quite a lucrative
trade in their manufacture, supply
ing the merchants of India. The
snake charmers of the Malabar and
Caromandel coasts likewise pre
pare them, but only for themselves,
preserving their composition as a
secret. In Mexico, similar stones
have been mentioned by travelers.
Aii experience during a four years'
residence iii India gives the writer
but little faith in the efficacy of
the stones. The method of apply
ing the snake-stones is as follows:
A bandage is. tightly placed above
the wound; the stones are then ap
plied; they attach themselves close
ly, imbibing, by their porous tex
ture, the blood that oozes from the
bite. The stone will adhere from
two to ten minutes, the length of
time depending on the amount of
blood that issues from the wound
and their capacity for absorption.
A bandage is not at all times ap
plied ; compression with the hand,
or rubbing the affected part down
ward is said to answer. Before
again using the stones, they have
to be Washed and well dried, per
haps subjected to great heat. Sci

A good deal of merriment was
occasioned on Sunday week, in one
of the Xew Orleans churches, nt
the expense of a deaf deacon, who
had been very industrious in sell
ing a new church publication; Just
before dismissing the congrega
tion the minister announced that
mothers who had children to be
baptized should present them on
the following Sunday. The deacon,
supposing that his pastor was ad
vertising the book, jumped up
hastily, and cried out, "All you
who have got none can get as many
as you want from me, at 75 cents
each.

E. J. I licks, Mrs. Frances Bo wen,

counts, Bowen must be a pretty
hard case. It is charged that he
attempted to have Mr. T. J. Mae
key, at Charleston, assassinated in
Washington about a week ago,
and in Charleston about three
weeks ago, and that a witness who
was summoned to Washington to
testify against him has
MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED.
He is also charged with having
procured the murder of Col. White

Another Of .those Singular ex
hibits of the manner in which gen
tlemen manoeuvre to rid themselves
of their wives wras made before
Judge Hogan yesterday at the
Toombs. v . - . - , i .,
This, however, is not a case that
WAS brought out in the regular and
business-like vVay in which many
are shadowed forth to the public
.gaze. It Wtts reached in the. most
roundabout and indirect manner:
On the 30th of January la.stj Al
bert J. Swift, the proprietor of the
.Washington llotelj 876 fourth
nveuuej caused the arrest cf a
young man named.
ARTHUR C. SHERMAN,
of 234; Bleeker streeti charging him
with drawing and uttering a draft
for seventy-five dolkus on Samuel
Crump, of 70 Fulton street payable
to the order of Swift tfc Son. Swift
took the draft and paid A. C. Sher
man's messenger twenty-five dol
lars for it, but when it was pre
sented to Crump he denied having
any account with Sherman ; also
denied. that Sherman had even the
least Authority from him to draw
I for the amount as stated. Sher
j man's counsel, evidently anxious
to conceal real relationship of
the defendant with Crump, did not
even hint that he undertood their
previous connections, but .found
bail for the appearaTlee cf Sherman
to-day at the Court, for the pur
pose of a full investigation.
On being placed upon the stand
this morning the defendant, Sher
man, said that lie had known
Crump for ten years'; that he was
employed by him for four years,
and lelt his employment two years
ttnd a half ago. Since that "time
he has been employed as
A SPECIAL DETECTIVE,
in Yvhich capacity lie had been
brought into contact with Crump,
"I met him about four months ago,
and lie told ine he had a friend
who was anxious to obtain a di
voiee from his wife, and wanted
me to take the case and work it.
I told him I would call and see
him again, and subsequently I call
ed at his office and told him I
Yvould take the case, and lie invit
ed me to call at his house, 596
Carlton avenue," . said Sherman.
According to the further testimony
Sherman saw Crump, and the lat
ter said he would be responsible
for the case, and gave the defend
ant a letter of introduction to Dan
iel Biker, who was employed .in
Crump's office, lie being the gentle
man who was so desirous of be
coming loosened, from the bonds
ot" Lis matrimonial alliance'. , Sher
man made arrangements as to the
"ways and means," and at once
started upon Mrs. Biker's track,
lie dodged her about from place
to place, to Xew Haven and other
parts of the State,
Watched hEr EVEity move,
and so far succeeded in getting in
to her good , graces as to get her to
accept a new dress at hisexpenses
But with all the artifice and re
sources of the detective, notwith
standing he had been told to spare
no expense in the prosecution of
the object in view, Mrs. Biker
appears to. have I.d too cautious
-if not too virtitous also-for them,
and Sherman had .to give up the
chase on the 1st. of the present
month. During the time he was
engaged in this hunt after Mrs.
Biker, he ran up a bill amounting
to $200, Si 05 of which Biker hail
paid in various installments', leav
ing a balance of thirty-eight dol
lars in his defendant's favor. The
draft of $27 for .which he was ar
rested Was intended to form part
of the balance, and. as Crump had
paid a previous draft, drawn al
most exac tly like the present one,
he claimed that Ins arrest was an
attempt to cover the proceedings.
The examination will probably be
concluded next week, when it is
expected that more details con
cerning this extraordinary case
Will be brought to light,
