Adjourned to Tuesday afternoon. Indications for Tennessee and the Ohio Valley Southerly winds veering to cooler, westerly ; falling, followed by rising barometer and partly cloudy weather. Brooks is in big business. Firestone is liable to miss fire. Ellsbory's elephant got the beat of him in the first round. Let the Asylum Trustees cease from troubling about a Superintendent. Isn't Brooks on the Board ? It will ba hard to find R successor of Dr. Gnndry. Doctors usually don't buy groceries in large quantities. Two much reorganization is litre the rude fire-arms of our forefathers. It kicks backward. The Superintendent-elect of the Columbus Insane Asylum got his feet outside the traces yesterday; talk of another overhauling of the Penitentiary is again rife; and Uncle Richard is overwhelmed with doubts as to the propriety of abolishing and re-erecting the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans' Home. The Democratic reorganization of the Columbus Insane Asylum does not appear to have the sticking quality. The new Trustees are in trouble in so much trouble that they have attempted to place the ban of secrecy on their protracted session of yesterday and las', night. It will be difficult to remove the general impression that the main spring of Dr. Ellsbury's resignation was an appalling contemplation of the work of managing an institution with about one thousand patients, and it is possible that the various conditions with which the Trustees surrounded the Superintendent elect expressed their apprehensions on the same point. The experiment of turning out one of the very few men competent to take charge of such an institution, and make bis position an item of the Democratic party spoils, is not likely to prove pleasant. The State of Ohio, by its liberality towards its publio institutions, has attracted the best experts; but the party policy of the Damocratio Legislature has a tendency to drive them away. Reorganizition has never before been carried on to such an extreme as at tbe present session, and by the time the present lease of power expires there will be little expert material left with which to restore the high character of the institutions by a party more conservative and leu? hampered by political considerations in affairs which should not be affected by party preferences. The New York Tribune says : About a year ago a number of horses were shipped from this country to Europe as a speculation. Since that time the demand has been gradually growing, until scarcely a week pannes that fifty or more are not , shipped by steamer. They come mainly iRHn Canada and Western New York. Those already eent have been purchased by the British Government for cavalry service, and for light and heavy road service. Tbe Anchor Line steamers took out for the London and Glasgow markets last week, 190 horses, and the National Line steamer Erin took out sixtysix for the Liverpool market. Both of the above lines have room engaged for a large number for next Saturday's steamer. A man named Charles Maule was shot and perhaps fatally wounded, at Richmond, Indiana, Thursday, by two brothers named Stephenson. It is charged that Maule seduced a bister of theStephen-sons.

Banking and Currency Consultation on Resumption. Ihe Diaz Government Recognized by Minister Foster. Republican Congressional Conference Committee Appointed. Address to Congress on the Tariff on French Wlnoa. RESUMPTION. Washington, April 19. The House committee on Banking and Currency had a very interesting conference thiB morning with John A. Stewart, o' the United States Trust Company, New York, and J. D. Vermilye.of the Merchants' Bank.New York. The question of the practicability of maintaining resumption wss pressed upon these gentlemen by Mr. Ewing, but they held inflexibly the position that resumption can be safely entered upon the first of January, 1S79, and that with the present favorable outlook of good crops and balance of trade in favor of this country, resumption can be maintained. They expressed the belief, however, that the maintenance of specie payments would not be assured unless a portion of the currency circulation is retired and foreign exchanges continue to be in our favor. Mr. Vermilye thought that one hundred or one hundred and fifty million dollars of outstanding United States noles should be retired, in order to make specie resumption entirely safe. TARIFF ON FRENCH WINES. The Secretary of the Treasury has submitted to ths House of Representatives a communication from the Bordeaux Chamber, of Commerce, an address to the President and to Congress. They say lhat in perusing the Tariff bill, they have been deeply impressed by what concerns b rench wines, especially at a time when, to a certain extent, ideas of free trade, and tbe public hnancial situation, which had become very prosperous, had induced them to hope the United States would gradually lower their Cus tom Houee duties upon the different articles of importation. They think it unnecessary to recall to mind how much the lowering of duties, when it is effected with skill and prudence, tends to produce happy results, and how frequently it has happened that Buch re ductions have had the three-fold advantage of developing commerce, of giving satisfaction to consumers and at the sams time of increasing the income of the public treasury in consequence of increased consumption. This they say would be a peaceful means of contributing to develop and increase the commercial relations ba- tween the United States and France. BEPUBLICAN CONFERENCE COMMITTEE, Representative Eugene Hale, Chairman of the Republican Congressional commit tee, haB named the following gentlemen as members of the committee provided for by the Republican caucus, to confer with the Senate committee upon tho course to he pursued by the Republicans in matters coming before the present session of Congress: Hon.

Special Agent Curtis, of the Treasury Department, was examined to day by the House committee on Appropriations in re lation to customs charges and commissions. He produced a number of papers showing that it is customary, according to law and the regulations, when a merchant thinks that charges or commissions are excessive, to file a protest at the time of navment. but that In hundreds or In stances afterpayments, protests have been attached to papers, thus showing connivance with some officials to defraud the revenue to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars. JAPANESE INDEMNITY FUND. In order to induce Japan to take a greater interest in the proposed treaty with Corea, etlorts will oe made to nave returned to Japan a million and a half of dollars now in the United States Treasury known as the Japanese indemnity fund, retaining a small sum only to compensate for actual loss to American citizens, re sulting from the disturbances some years ago in that country.

Mr. Randall then said : I rise for the first time in my life, I think, in this Houso, to a personal explanation. I find in the Star this evening a statement that I have verbally requested Mr. Glover, Chairman of the committee on Expenditures in the Treasury Department, to investigate the office ofSer-geant-nt-Arms of this Houso. There is not a syllable of truth in the statement, nor a gleam of warrant for it. First, I know nothing whatever of tbe action of tbeSergeant-at-Arms in the discharge of his duties that needs investigation, and second, 1 nave never had any conference whatever with Mr. Glover on tho subject, nor have I directly or indirectly baa any communication wuu mm. 1 minis: it is due to the Sergeant-at-Arms to state this. If I, myself, were the only one involved. I never would have noticed it, but as the statement reflects perhaps on the honesty, fidelity and honor of ano'.her, 1 at once and promptly give this contradiction. sir. lilackburn, trom tne committee on ine District of Columbia, reported back tbe bill relating to tbe Washington Market company, which was briefly discussed and without action, the House adjourned THE GALLOWS.

It is said Russia, in view of Roumania's demands and the wishes of Europe for an effectual neutralization of the Danube, will abandon her claim to Rene and other points on the Danube above St, George's canal, but will maintain her claims for Ismail, Bulgrad and Caboul, and insist upon tbe negotiation of a convention for establishing depots to facilitate the passage of troops through Roumania, At a secret sitting of the Roumanian Chamber, M. Bratioro explaining the result of his mission to Vienna, said Roumania could rely upon the support of Austria and Germany only in so far as the BesBarabian question involved the question of the freedom of the Danube. Neither Germany nor Austria believed Russia intended to attack that freedom and both would be satisfied with the neutralization of the Danube and certain guarantees. In view of this state of affairs, M. Bratiaro recommended that Roumania should come to an arrangement with Russia. In consequenoe of this statement several Deputies, even from the Government side, violently attacked M. Cogalniceane, Minister of Foreign Affairs, for his recent misleading policy. M. Cogalniceane declared his readiness to resign if he was censured in a public sitting of tho Chamber.

The hostile feeling between the Rus sians and Roumanians is increasing. The tenor of the views from the vari ous capitals is peaceful, but does not quite come up to what had been expected. The national movement for subscribing a fund to arm Russian cruisers is making progress in all parts of the Russian Empire.A dispatch from Athens eavs it is now certain that the Thessalian insurrection is a complete failure. The Greeks have lost all heart for further effort. A special from Berlin Bays Russia is willing to discuss all the clauses of the treaty of San Slefano. but does not con ceal her determination to defend its principal stipulations, sword in hand, if necessary.Private advices from Moscow state that three thousand students and workmen were involved in the disturbances of the 15th insl. Twelve were killed and twen-tyfive wounded. One hundred of them were arrested. A Vienna correspondent thinks General Todleben'a appointment to command at San Slefano, may be the first step toward effecting a compromise by Bismarck touching the position near Constantinonle: that is, the simultaneous withdrawal of tbe British fleet from the Sea of Marmara and the Russians from the neighborhood of Constantinople. NEWARK. ConclaHlun or the Teallmnny In tho Jones Murder Trial Arguments to Commence on Monday. Newaik, April 19. To the EJitor of Ihe Ohio Htute Journal. Wm. Terry I live in Brownsville: I (aw Jones in the month of December last; had a conversation with him; I saw him iu the mill in that place; knew Jones a little; had a conversation with him in tho mill on general topics; noticed nothing unusual oc that day; seemed to be just as he had always appeared. Wm.Orr-I live in Linnville; have known Tones thirtv veare: am nnstmflst.pi- in th.t pUce; have talked wiin him otteu-, at least ouce a weeit ouring ine past seven years; never discovered anything about hin thai looked like insauity; on one occasion about a year ago he tajkod to me about crime, murder; iu that conversation he said that a person committing a murder ought to give himself up after the committal of the crime; we were talking of the Molly Maguires. J. W. Ore I live one and a quarter miles from the Jones residence; have known the prisoner twonty years; talked with him frequently; never discovered anything wrong in his mental condition; met him at our voting precinct on election day, November last; was about the polls most of the day; Baw him about a week before the homicide; was all right then. H. M. Boyer I live in Brownsville; have known Jones four and a half years; met him in Brownsville on the day of the homicide, in tbe mill; we talked a little about a smut mill; be said he hoped the proprietor of the mill, Mr. Mack, would do well (Mack had been a recent purchaser of the mill and nn old neighbor of his); he seemed in sound mind on that day. K. W. Cooperrider Have known Jones since I was a boy; live within a mile and a half of his place; talked with him often; several times last vnar: never saw nnv chanop in him, mentally; never heard him speak of ine cuasuiy oi nis uauguter; was aware he treated her badly. Joseph Reed I know Jones; knew him in Virginia; worked with him; talked with him about tax-paying time last year, in Newark; be seemed all right then; never knew any of his family to bo afflicted with insanity. Sam. Smith Have known Jones forty years; talked with him in jail tbe next moruiig after the homicide; consider that he was ot that 'time in sound mind; that he knew right from wrong. Dr. Cooperrider Know Jones; am a practitioner of medicine; consider Jones sane; capable of knowing right from wrong. Dr. J. Melick I live in Brownsville; have known Jones fifteen years; talked with him occasionally during that time; never discovered any mental derangement in bim; think he would know right from wrong; am not an expert on the question of insanity. The next witness called was Dr. Spencer, as an expert. After the manner of the defense a serie3 of hypothetical questions were read to him in substance mucn the same as used by the defeuse, and on which the experts testifying for that side made Jones out crazy. Dr. Spencer in his examination held views diametrically opposite, and did not consider the prisoner crazy on the hypoth Dr. Wotsing, the next witness, also an expert, agreed in the main with Dr. Spencer. Special to the Ohio State Journal: Newark, April 19. At the afternoon session several witnojses testified, but nothing new was brought out. At 2 p.m. both sides rested and by mutual agreement of attorneys and the jury final argument was deferred until Monday next, McCoy, indicted for manslaughter, was arranged and plead not guilty. This will bo the next case after Jones is disposed of. THE CITY. Becapilon. Rev.E. K.

THE RAILROADS. I'eisonnl nntl Miscellaneous Matters. Sam Thompson, General Traveling Agent ot tbe Missouri racinc road is iu tbe city. Twenty odd milts of track have been laid on the Ann Haib-jr and Toledo (Governor Aehlej s) road, J. U. Fitch, of Portsmolb, General Mana-gerChapman's Private Auditor, was in tbe city Thursday. A strong move is being made for anarrow-gauge road up Paint Valley, from Ohil-licothe to Baiubhdge. B. F.Horner, General Eistern Agent of tbe International uud ureat ftorluern road, was in the city Thursday. A telegraph office has been established on the Pcioto Valley road nt Kiuoickinnick, with J. U. Smith us operator. Geucral Ticket Agent Chandler of the 8cicAo Valley road, vmb down the road yesterday paying oft' the employes. The business on the Toledo road has been unusually good for the past week, there having been on an average over one hundred cars a day sent out from Columbns. The completion of the narrow-gauge to Greenfield his compelled the withdrawal of tbe back which has been in operation between lhat place nnd Washington O. H. since 1830. The Board of Directois of the Dayton and Southeastern Railway are to hold a meeting in Chillicothe on ThutEday next, to arrange for the completion of the line to the coal fields of Jackson county. The Scioto Valley railroad will begin at ouce erecting a freight house, 25 feet wide by 60 feet in length at Piketon. Blaine, of anaronvuie, ice contractor tor building tbo same, Ltuked off the lot lost week. The Batavia Courier says that an offer has been made by a New York firm of brokers for the entire issue of tbe Cleveland and Rrie railway bonds, amounting to $500,000. They offer seventy percent, cash down, with accrued interest bonds from January 1, 1878. The offer was declined. The Highland News says: "The friends of the northern section of the Columbus and Meysvillo railway are wide awake, and are going rapidly forward with the enterprise, and if the people of the southern section don't bestir themselves the northern portion of the road will be completed first." Freight is being carried by the Scioto Valley road, from New York to Portsmouth, in three days and eighteen hours; Chillicothe in three days and thirteen hours, and Circleville in three days and nine hours. On change of time, which will occur in a few days, it is stated, the road will do even better than this. The local agent of the Short Line rosd and his assistants will take possession of the new freight house Monday or Tuesday. The building is a model for its purpose and will present a fine appearance when tbe old freight building is removed. Workmen yesterday completed laying tho track alongside of the new building. Four tramps who had taken quarters in a box car of shelled corn at Indianapolis were fastened in and brought to this city yesterday. Oflicer8 on the road telegraphed on to have the delegation arrested here, but when they arrived the police concluded they were not craving for such settlers in this vicinity and concluded not to make the arrest. The New Era, Welt Union, says : "The railroad between Portsmouth and Huntington is to be built immediately. The necessary stock has been already assured for its completion. Portsmouth will become an extensive shipping point, and will be the terminus of a line of daily fast line mail boats between Cincinnati and that point." The small piece of a lot is the only thing that stands between Steubenville and a new Panhandle depot. In the first place $4000 was aBked for a lot, but when the company talked of a change in location the price of the lot was reduced to $2800. Tbe company agreed to take the lot nt that price when the owner raised to $3500. That man is entirely too public spirited. KoNter Services. The festival of the Christian Church, known as Eisler, occurs to.-morrow, three dayB after Good Friday. This feast is observed in commemoration of tbe Savior's resurrection.
