The Republican Senators held a cancuB this afternoon to receive the report of the Caucus committee appointed to revise the membership of the committees of the Senate. The list was read through, and after sundry members had expressed their preference for different assignments, the report was recommitted for the purpose of making some changes, and will be presented to an adjourned meeting of the caucus committee for final action. The following chairmanships may, however, be considered settled : Conkiing will be chairman of the committee on Commerce, Hamlin of Pnstomces and Postroads, Wright of Claims, Spencer of District of Columbia, Hitchcock of Territories, West of Railroads, Sargent of Mines and Mining, Boutwell of Civil Service, and JoneB of Contingent Expenses. Jones will be glen a place on the Financial committee, and Kernan will also be placed on the same committee to succeed Fenlon. The chairmanships of other important committees being occupied by Senators who hold over.wifl not be changed. THE LOUISIANA COMPROMISE. Representative Wheeler received this morning from New Orleans his articles of adjustment, signed by rortyluur members of the Conservative caucus, an ample 'number to Bccure the desired result. He at once telegraphed Kellogg to forward by express to the city of New York the papers now in the office of the Secretary of State which were used in contested cases before the Returning Board in No vember last. The referees will meet Thursday next at the olfice of Hon. Wm. Phelps, in the city of New York, end proceed with the hearing. LENGTH OF THE EXTRA SESSION, A number of Senators are of the opinion that the Pinchbeck question being again under discussion the session will continue two weeks, although they can Me no propriety in discussing a matter so well understood, but they suppose some of the new Senators may desire to express their views. The Hawaiian treaty, they think, could be disposed of in less than two deys, and all nominations io a shorter time. SENATE COMMITTEES ORGANIZED. The Republican caucus committee have completed the arrangement of membership of standing committees of the Sea-ate, the Democrats filling the blanks assigned them. The list is subject to the ipprov.il of the caucus, and may be changed before it is submitted to the Senate for formal adoption. EX-PRESIDENT JOHNSON did not reach the Senate Chamber until nearly one, when Mr. Edmunds greeted him cordially. The New Orleans Times says Mrs. Myra Clarke GaineR holds a judgment against the city of New Orleans fur about $140.- 000. She has been trying to execute this judgment for some time past, the batture property in front or the heart oi the city that between Canal and St. Joseph treats being levied noon for that pur pose. It is ascertained that the plaintiff1 in execution has taken steps to bring about a sala of the batture alluded to eome time in the present month. Unless some arrangement can be made in this matter, a large sacrihee of the interests of the city and of the public is inevitable, A bill has passed both Houses of the Alabama Legislature which provides that any person who shall buy, sell, receive, barter, or dispose of any cotton, corn, wheat, oats, peas, or potatoes, after the hour of sunset and belore the hour of sun rise of the next succeeding day, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction, shall be fined not less than $10 nor more than $500, and may also be imprisoned in the county jail, or, put to hard labor for the county, for not more than twelve months. The object of this measure is to prevent petty thievery on plan- isuoni. BY TELEGRAPH TO THK OHIO STATU JOURNAL TENTH WEEK. Some New Performers iu the Brooklyn Comedy.

On Friday night, as Deacon Ovington was getting ready to go to Europe, a clerk from Morris 4 Pearaall's office served him with e aubpena to produce two letters that were wiitten Friday night, July 10, one Bent to Monroe Place, where the Plymouth Church investigating committee was in session, end the other to Mrs. Tilton, at ber home in Livingston street, fcarly next day Ovington assured ex-Judge Fullerton that if any letters bad been written his wife wrote them, and that she would respond to the subpena, and he was allowed to go away to Europe, and his wife is to be aubpenaed. Tne fact that letters were sent was discovered through search of the books of the American District telegraph company. Tilton told his oounsel it was his greatest puctle to know why Elizabeth was so transformed in tweutvfour hours, because he had left her at home happy when he went to the committee, had tound her sleeping when he returned, and was awakened next morning by her farewell words. He told his counsel of his dilem ma, and after every sort of reasoning tliev concluded to search the booka of the American District Telegraph comnani. They found that on Friday night a note had been aent to Mr. Btorrs, at d Monroe Place, and an answer obtained and one sent to Mrs. Tilton. CARD FROM BEDPATB. James Red oath Dnblishea a card saving: Tilton did not send me the original man uscript or bis true story tn have it sur reptitiously published in New England. 1 never had tne remotest intention oi publishing it. I have not been summon ed aa a witneas for the defense. When Morris said in bis opening speech that I acted as Beecher's agsnt to get my friend frank Moulton outot thisosse, he states what he cannot prove, because it is not true. I noted without Beecher's knowl edge. JUROR JEFFREYS WELL AOAIN. Crape on the door bell knob of the res idence of Mr. Jeffrey, the juror who became sick Thursday, caused a commotion among those who deplore any interruption of the scandal, but inquiry showed it was a Mr. Plant, a boarder, who died of chronic neuralgia, Jeffreys was perfectly well. Mr. Beecher received fourteen new members into Plymouth Church rosier. day. He closed the benediction with the words, "Urace, mercy and peace be wttn you all." Proceedings in the Tilton-Beecher trial were resumed to day. A great crowd pressed around the doors leading to the Brooklyn City Court room. But no one was admitted after the seats were occupied. Ventilators have been placed in the windows to keep the atmosphere of the court room as pure as possible. Mr. Jeffrey, as he took his place in the jury box, looked pale and weak. ' BESSIE TURNER made her first appearance at the trial this morning, accompanied by Mrs. Dunkley, and sat in the row usually pcoupied by Mrs. Tilton and her friends. Bessie was known by only a few present. Shecaused but little stir. The defendant and his wife and Colonel Beecher sat with the Plymouth gathering, while Mr. Tilton was with his counsel. Mrs. Tilton keeps away from tho proceedings. Mrs. Putnam resumed her place on the stand, and her direct examination waB continued by Mr. Shearman, as follows : I waa a member of Dr. Storrs's Church until after regular attendance at Plymouth Church. I have had very little acquaint ance with the delennant in this esse, 1 have seen him at Tilton'a house two or three times. The first time Beecher called Tilton took him up to the study, and I went up there and was introduced to him. He frolicked with the children, and then went away. The next time I saw him was when Mrs. Tilton and he were going to see aorae sick person, I think it was Mrs. Uvtngton. ilia first visit, 1 think, was in the morning, and my impression is the others were in the morning also, 1 saw photographs of Beecher in Tilton'a house, and ho (Tilton) showed them to me with three of other eminent men. iilton gave me one. 1 think, they were in a small box on the table. I have seen books in Tilton'a library with Beecher's autograph in them, and one of these he said be would give to me if I desired. Counsel then returned to the scene at 8outhport, Conn. Of Tilton'a moodiness witness said : l remember a letter sent by Mrs. Tilton through me to Tilton. The substance of it was that she could not bear such oonduct from him. When Tilton was explaining his conduct he said these nts were irresistible and beyond hiB control, and that they made every person about him unhappy. He said this was one of the PENALTIES OF OENICS, and that as soon as he would get home and settled down these moods would depart from him. He said if he could address an audience his mood would depart from him. He did addresa an audience shortly after this, and this mood went off from him. lillon tola me he would rather be editor of the New York Inde pendent than bold any other position. u.i Bk.n ma M in W.i i nnlna He said this also once in his house in Livingston street. Mrs. Tilton said it would break Theodore's heart to leave his Dosition on the Independent. Tilton ask ed my advice one time about sending Bessie turner to school at INyack, as she was s girl of rare qualities. and they might be improved; that her perception of musical qualities were very rare and intuitive, and that Mrs. Tilton kept her too much confined looking after the children. I saw Mr. Tilton reading to her while in Southport in the summer of 1868. In the fall of 1866 Tilton told me he had alinoBt given ud irolng to church, and only went then to hear the music. I asked him if it was on account of Beecher he had given tip church going, and he said no, that he liked Beecher, as be was great moral leather end had rare qualities, but he thought Hrechers qualities were overestimated. People were tired of old Calvin- islic doctrine, end wanted something fresh. He eaid magnanimity waa one af sia greatest characteristics. lbs tint lime 1 visited Tilton'a Livingston street house after tbev were settled 1 saw Beech er'a buat on a pedestal in the hall. When I next called its place waa After rectal Mrs. Putnam identified several letters as hiving been written by her, aod she leti tne stand. Mr. Shearman then railed oa the neit witness, TURNED TO TBI WALL. Tilton aaid it waa Elisabeth's doing, and that Beecher had been a traitor to the Bepublican cause. 1 remember miking a visit to Tilton a on (Sunday in "November, lsotf. lie waa engaged iu hanging pic tures at which I eipresatd my surprise and told him I had been at church, lie eaid he thought I was one of those good women who never went to church, wnen I told him I went to hear Dr. Btorrs. He aaid, "what do you go to lislee to that glittering iceberg for?'' The conversation was renewed at the dinner table, and I resented his manner of speaking of my pastor. He said he did not mean to apeak disrespectfully of Dr. Storrs. He said he would never go to church to Hear the gospel, but would go to bear good music and s lecture. He said Eiisibeth took all the care of the children and should bring tbem up aa she chose, but he hoped they would not suffer from religious strivings as he (Tilton) bad dune. Bessie turner came to me at Marietta in lo.U and staved there until Mia. Tilton came. Mrs. Tilton waa accompanied by Harold, I think, on the 30th of October, 1870, and returned to New York on the third of November following. While she was there, she allowed me to read a portion of Tilton's correspondence with her. Witneas was asked II she read the let ter whioh passed from Tilton to his wife stating his tear that he would lose his sit uation on the Brooklvn Union, lo this counsel for the prosecution objected, aud the objection was sustained, tvarts rose to argue the matter, at which the Court demurred, Baying I lie subject was fully understood. Evarts said that aa the letter was not in their possession he was entitled to give evidence with regard to its existence. The Court overruled the proposition and the witness continued t l do not Know what became oi the let ter. I remember Mrs. Tilton'a sending a letter in reply, of which a copy was made. I recollect an answer being sent lo this letter. I sent il up stairs to her and went up to see how she felt about it. I found her np there. At this point counsel for the plaintiff objected, and Mr. Beach said this is an endeavor to amuggle in evidence after ob jection was made. This expression was used in reference to witness going on with her reply after objection being made. Mr. Shearman excepted to the expression "smuggle," as used by counsel, and Judge Neilson said it was wrong for Beach to have said this. After further argument Mr. Shearman put some questions lo witness in regard to the effect of this letler on Mrs. Tilton, but they were objected to by plaintiff's counsel. I have long been acquainted with Mrs. Morse. Mrs. TiltoD's health was feeble while at Marietta, Cross-examined by Mr. Fullerton: I first became intimately acquainted with Mrs. Tilton in the winter of 1855-6, when I waa living in South Brooklyn. This intimacy continued until 18GU, when I was married to Mr. Putnam and removed to Marietta, Ohio. I then visited her two, three or four limes a year, and sometimes spent a day at her house. Once I stayed about a week. I do net remember in what year tins extended stay was. i Bometinies saw Tijton greet his friends while at the house, and may have had a chit-chat with him on some subject. On one occasion Tilton and his wife were discussing the . SUBJECT OF KISSING, and he said he would be sorry if any persons should attach Buoh great importance to a kiss. Mrs. Tilton was a woman of f;reat devotedness and exhibited great ove for her husband. Site endeavored to hide her husband's faults, and frequently told falsehoods to hide him. I frequently chided her for the falsehoods she told. I hare spoken of Mrs. Tilton being dominated by her husband's will. One instance wss that in Washington in the conversation between her husband and me, when ahe made an attempt tn takes part in it. When Jessie lurrer visited me at Maiietta ahe was about sev enteen years of age. She cauie to me in February, 1S70. She visited me again shortly after, and remained about eight weeks before she went lo school at bteu-benville. Since I came to this city 1 have been staying at 315 Greene Btreet, where I have resided about eight weeks. I came at Mr. Shearman's summons. Bessie Turner is not stopping at the same house, but is living with Mrs. Morse. I oalled on Mrs. Morse and Bessie Turner waa there. My sister was with me. I didn't talk with Bessie about what I should testify when I would he called. Witness was handed a letter and she was asked if that was the letter she compared with the one at Marietta. She replied that ahe could not answer the question, and added : I saw this manuscript in the handwriting of Mrs. Tilton at Marietta, fl'he manuscript waa marked and put in evidence. Witness continued : I do not know if this letter was sent by mail. I first heard of this scandal at the time of the Woodhiill publica tion. Belore this 1 beard rumors ot difficulty. I first heard of it from Mrs. Tilton iu October, 1870. I felt at the time that this was a great outrage. 1 never felt angry with Dr. Storrs at the part he had taken in it, I thought the course he took in calling a Congrega tional Council waB unwise. Witness was handed a letter which she identified as in her own writing. She re membered writing words expressing her self as angry with the two churches. Ful lerton then proposed to read the letter, which was objeoted to by Evarts. Judge Meiison ested why counsel proposed to use the letter, and he replied as a contradiction to the witness. The Court allowed the letter to be read. It was addressed to Mrs. '1 illon, and opened by returning thanks for the last number of the Golden Ace. and then nroceeded to sneak of her excitement on learning of the difficulty, declaring she relt sorry tor Mr. ueecher and angry with the two churohes, and with Doctors uuddington and Btorrs. iue letter was daied April 7, 1874, In answer to the Court witness said her anger was against the two churches for the part they had taken against Beecher. The Court here took its usual recess. ANHA AoUSTA HOORI, wh testified tn Tracv as follows: 1 reside in Brooklyn and know Mr. and Mrs. Tilton. I have known them about sixteen years. They were then boarding with Mrs. tticnnras, sirs, niton s mother, in Livingston street. I boarded with Mrs. Rich ards, and we were members of the same family. Mr. and Mrs. Tiiton's relations as husband and wife were then verv haDrjv. I think I observed a change of evangelical ideas in Mr. Tilion after 1 knew him three years. After ha removed to Oxford street he said be did not Bel eve one word of the atonement. Mrs. Tilton heard this and said "Oh Dors, you do not mean this," and be laid "Indeed I 4o." This change caused great Buffering to Mrs. Tilton. I think he discontinued family worship, but it was eontioued by bis wife, who conductad it and aaid grace at the labia. II. wis al ways irrraulir ia bis attradanoe at church. and this waa tbe cause of a discussion between him and myself. It was his habit, so far as I know, to work on Sundays. On one occasion I remember of bis sprakiog of roll ing iHliltrd bills la a billiard room. 1 ssld I did not think it waa right, as he was thee eruraeed on a teacher ia tbe Plymouth Church Sunday School. He pused the matter off ia a J-kiug way, and the conversation dropjied. Uis conduct to bis wife was always change able, lie sain that a man and woman should not lire together a minute atler they ceased to tike pleasure in each other. In 18ti0 be Drought rteptien rean Andrews to his nouse. and afterward people ol that kind. 1 can not remember what waa talked about. The woman w ho came with Andrews hied his hair, rikin rjr ix his tvea, rubbed her hand over his face, and told him what a lovely sphere he bad. Mrs. Morse, Mr. Freelaad, Mr. Tilion aad myself were present. I think it was the secoud winter 1 knew them. I remonstrated with him about this company, but be laughed aud would not treat tbe subject with seriousness. Mrs Tilton objected to these parties coming to tbe nouse. nr. niton sometimes nsed to treat his wife to careftea. and tell her how lovely and beautiful she was, aud at other times be would quarrel with her and slay out tut midni.bt. Tbe only fault I found with Mrs Tilton was Willi her idolatry and devotion to oim. Cross-examined hv Ur. Pullprtan- Mrs Tilion never expressed regret at having married, but every regret lor him. I never heard him refuse to orderaload of coal when his wife was sick, but he went out one time without saying he would order it or not. He did nolaay he went to the wrong place He refused to take Mrs. Tilton to various places of amusement, and on one occasion to take her to a lecture. Witness said she was not able to Bnecifr anr of these occasions. She went to one lecture, I think by Wcu-dell I'liilllus. He would not accompany us there. Ou being pressed for tbe reason that Tiltun would not go she replied, "1 don't think he was at home, but he was around ihere some place." Win ess put the Court room in a roar of laughter by describing how Mr. Iilton brushed up agaiast his wife on ber way borne from tbe lecture, nearlv knocking her down. Fullerton then questioned her about the interview with Andrews. She tea Hied that it was about 12 o'clock when they left. I don't know whether they were there when I arrived or not. They talked about spheres and atmosphere and a great many things beneath or beyond me, Tbey talked steady three or four hours. I never talked on that occasion, aud Mra. Tiiton spoke very little. Tney were not treated aa Intruders, but Mrs. Tilton Bat and looked at them as if they were creatures about whom she knew nothing. I did not know then that 8. P. Andrews had lectured at Mr. Beech- ers bouse. This talk was ottensivo to me, but I stayed b. cause I wanted to lee It out. I always knew Mr. Iton was late, because.! slept Willi Mis Morse, and the would wake me when be would come home. She generally said then, two o clock again. He was then. I think. one of tbe editors of the Independent. I think Mrs Tilton's great fault was idolatry to her husband. I asserted his faults, and she excused litem. I told her that waa no way to treat uis faults it she wanted him to reform them. I am a member of Plvmouth Church, and have been so for sixteen years. 1 have always taaeq a ueep interest in tins controversy. I have talked with Mr. 11 ill about the case, but not with Mr. Beecher. no-direct examination by Tracy t When Tilton was asked to order coal he said he waa busy and went out. He acted as if be did not care, and the fire went out for want of qoal. 1 remember two occasions when I found her alone at lectures. One was at the Academy of Musio, which I have uamed, and the other was in New York, when I found her and brought her home. I think the lecture was iu Steinway Hall, and Mr. Tilton came there and nrrived after his wife. I do not know wheu Florence Tilton was born. Never heard Mr. or Mra Tilton discuss the propriety of the children's playing op Sunday after they removed to Oxford Btreet, " ' Tills concluded Mrs. Moore's evidence, and she left the stand. Tracy then called 133 OAKLRY as the next witness, but Jeffreys, the sick juror, complained of feeling faint and unwell, which fact was communicattd to Judge Neil-squ and he adjourned Court fur the day. SALT LAKE, Slanderous Attacko ou tbe New Uov ornor Lawyer Disbarred iurCoa-tempt-Jall Eacnpade. Salt Lake, March 8 There have been published in this city for the last thirty days incessant attacks upon uovernor Axtell, the newly appointed Gov ernor, who has been in the Territory about that length of time. Also charges have been telegraphed to the press in re gard to him which he asserts are false in every particular. It is not believed there is any dissatisfaction among the public with regard to his course. On Thursday, March 4, attorney Geo. E. Whitney had a disagreement with Judge McKean during the session of the court, and after its adjournment, as the Judge was leaving the room, Whitney Baid, "If you mean to say what I said was false you lie. To-day an order was read in Court to the effect that George E. Whitney pay a fine of $100, that be is forbidden to practice his profession in this Court until in open Court, at such time aa shall suit the con venience ot the Court, lie shall, in person or in writing, make an unequivocal and acceptable apology for contempt of Court, and that in default of such payment and apology within one month he win be dis barred, Last night there was another escape from the Territorial penitentiary. The parties were John Goodman, indicted for assault with intent to kill; George Lewis, for gambling; Charles Williamson and John Smith, for stealing from a dead man Charles Buckley, for assault with intent to kill; J, E Kicks, indicted for murder and polvgamy, and W, A. Dam, indicted for connection with the Mountain Mead ow massacre, bhafer, under sentence ot death for murder, refused to leave. U. S. SENATE EXTRA SESSION. Washington, March 8. Immediately nfter the reading of the jour- nal, Mr. Clayton submitted a resolution pro viding for i he appointment of four members of the committee on Indian Affairs, and three members of the committee on Territories, to proceed to the Indian Territory dur ing Hie recess, wnb authority to inquire into the coniiiuon ot nttiura there, the manner in which justice is administered, and the wants of the people of the Territory in regard to sell-government, and to report at the next session ot uongress. Mr. Ferry objected to the resolution on the ground that this beiug a special session no business of a legislative character orLokiog to legislation could be considered. On motion of Mr. Edmunds, the subject was lain over until to-morrow. On motion of Mr. Morton the Senate took no the resolution for the admission of Pinch- back as Senator from Louisiana, and Mr. Morton addressed the Senator at length in favor of Beating Pinchback upon bis creden tials, arguing that bis credentials constituted a prima facia case, and that he must be seated, any question as to tbe character of the body which elected him, the manner of his election, etc, to be inquired into afterward. Before Mr. Morton coocludcd his argument he yielded for an Executive session. After a short time in Executive session the Senate adjourned.

The Governor to-day issued a proclamation appointing March 20 as a day of Ibanksgiving lor the many blessings which have been showered upon the State during the past twelve months. Keferring to the adoption of the Poland report, the Governor aavs: We have been sustained by the true con servative Republican sentiment of the North, which is one of the most gratifying features connected with our struggle, and one of which we should feel proud. and we should strive by all means to prove ourselves worthy of this indurse-inent so emphatically given by those supposed to differ with us politically, wbo were begged and importuned under all circumstances lo put us down. With all we have undergone, if our cause has been the occasion of harmonising and uniting the liberal and conservative elements in the nation that have heretofore been dis cordant, we are more than paid, and it should be one of our duties to see that they be kept together hereafter. As Uovernor or tbe state I enjoin upon II persons now to see that peace and order are preserved, all violations of law promptly looked after, and those engaged n them arrested and brought to answer before the law. The preventingorpunish- ing of individual infractions of law ia the surest remedy against mobs and general outbreaks that sometimes occur and almost defy the entire power of the Gov ernment, As we have been peaceful and law-abiding, and thereby won respect and cocfidenes everywhere, let us con tinue to be, and enforce tbe laws so that each and every citiaen may feel that he owns a direct interest in the Government while that Government not only can but is able and ready to protect him. stir up no strife, revive no past political differences or animosities, persecute no one that may have differed or that may hereafter differ with us. Let us at all times, in fact, exercise eharity to all and malice toward no one. Should there be any indictments in the Courts for past political offenses, I would suggest and advise their dismissal. Let the people of all parties, rapes and colors come and be welcomed to our State, end encouraged to aid us in bringing her up to a position of true greatness. ATHENS.
