SENATOR WADE.--The New York Post
Republican,, referring to the vote on i'm
geachment, says:
THE only disgraceful vote cast on Satur.
day was that of Mr.. Wade, who, with o
reckless abandonment of decency and pro-
viety, voted for conviction, and for his
own elevation to the Presidency, when it
vas believed by himself and the other sup
Iorers of impeachment that conviction
you'd be obtained by only single vote.
We shall be surprised if Mr.. Wade's course
ID this matter does not drive him out of pub
r life; it has certainly lost him the respect
.ai confidence of all impartial minds"

he DECLINES TO APPEAR BEFORE THE 1A-

EWAsH1sGTos, May 20.-senator Hender-
son has written a letter to the Impeach-
ment Managers in reply to their summons
to appear before them, declining to obey
the subpoena, and viii tomorrow bring
the matter to the notice Of the Senate. :
HE is EXAMINED By THE HOUSE COMMIT
TEE RELATIVE TO HIS VOTE ON THE ELE-
-yENTH ARTICLE. s.
Senator Henderson was to-day before the
committee Of the House to examine into the
alleged efforts of Missouri Congressman to
influence the vote of Mr.. Henderson in the
impeachment trial. The testimony in
cluded q detailed history of what trans
pired between the Missouri congressman
and the Senator, the principal features Of
which havealready been givento the public.
HE Is QUESTIONED ABOUT THE RE-oReASI-
ZATIoN OF THE CABINET-HE ENTERS a
PRoTEsT.!tsF fats;EFsss- a. kk-
In addition to this matter, the committee
questioned Mr.. Henderson about the al
legged promises Of the President to re6r-
ganize, his Cabinet. After stating that he
had heard Of proposed changes in the
heads of departments for about year,
and had recently heard something Of
the same purport, and had expressed the
wish and now hoped that such changes
would be made, in order to insure
confidence in the judicious action Of
the Administration hereafter, Senator Hen
derson remarked, "Now, gentlemen, ] have
answered these questions, but deny your
right to go into such investigation, and de-
sire your clerk torecord my protest against
this examination" The protest was &C
cordingly recorded by the clerk, and there
upon discussion arose upon the protest
between the members of the committee, q
majority of whom decided that the objec-
ton was we'll taken.
The clerk was then directed to expunge
that part of the record relative to Cabinet
changes. WALLACE.

From the Keoeanqua oval Rspubiicsn.
AT the townsof Upton, in this county,
about ten miles from here, en- the Missouri
line, q. terrible tragedy WEE enacted ON the
morning 6f. the 9th instant, about s o'eiock,
which created an unusual excitement.
among the people of the town and vicinity.
Mrs. Ballard, wife Of Joel Ballard, On old
citizen, waa killed IN her own house by q
man by the name Of 3. T. .Dikeman. The
act can but be regarded as na,rder-s
wiIful, premeditated mnrder-ths sole
cause of the atrocions oct being the t1tslinq
OF an old lady. It appears to have been
an infirmity Of Mrs. Ballard AN infrnity,
too, not confined to any particular locality
to talk. She was fond Of gossip. And in the
/ absence Of daily paper in Upton to manu-
,facture something to continually talk about,
Mrs. Ballard supplied the place as far as pos
sible, and manufactured items occasionally
which either amused or annoyed the neigh
fbors. One of the items (the fatal one)
charged too great intimacy between Mr..
Ballard Cher husbandl and Mrs. Dikeman..
This item found ready sale, and was re-
peated at various times and on various CO.
casions. Dikeman, becoming exasperated
ut last, armed himself with pistol and
knife, and went for the old lady. Ballard
lived about quarter Of a mile from Upton ;
Dikeman about one mile. Mrs. Ballard
and grown daughter were oil the inmates
Of; the house when Dikeman arrived. The
latter inquired for Mr.. Ballard, but, with
out waiting for an answer, he drew
his pistol and fired, the ball taking
effect in her right breast. Mrs. Ballard
was sitting down, and when shot, jumped
to her feet and threw up her arms as
though she was going to defend herself.
At this, Dikeman drew long pointed knife,
apparently prepared for the occasion, and
stabbed her in the neck just behind the
jugular vein, when she fell, and died almost
Instantly. Both wounds were considered
mortal. The daughter, in attempting to
rescue her mother after the pistol shot, was
knocked away, but not hurt. Mr.. D. re-
turned home Immediately, and in about an
hour afterward was arrested. He talked
freely about the matter, and seemed to
think himself entirely justified in what he
had done. He was brought to Keosauqua,
and had preliminary examination before
Esquire Cheney; and in default of 800
bail was committed to prison. The ages Of
the parties, as we learn them, are as fol-
lows Mrs. Ballard, the murdered woman,
ifty-fve; Mr.. B., the husband, sixty; Mr..
Dikeman, thirty-seyen.

THE TOMB OF THE PUTNAM FAMILY Desc
GRATED AND THEIR SKELETONS SoLD.-Bos-
ton, May l9.-0ne Of the most revolving
and depraved robberies ever heard of has
been discovered in the town of Danvers. A
tomb in the old burying- ground holding the
remains Of the Putnam family for genera
tions past was broken into by some young
men, who stole the silver plates from the
collins, and then. broke the collins open and
stole the skeletons Of the dead, and then
sold them to manufacturer Of bone ma
nure. Some boys who were playing about
the bone-yard got hold Of ashuman skull,
and were using it for football, when aman
passing discovered the nature Of the skele-
ton, and further investigation disclosed the
above horrible facts. Some Of the thieves
have been arrested, and it is thought they
will all be unprecedented, and that other rob-
beriessof the same nature will be ferreted

IRELAND AND ENGLAND.-Ther is new
project for the benefit of Ireland. An emf
nent engineer has memorialized Parliament
in favor of causeway to connect Ireland
with Great Britain. At one point there is
a channel only eleven miles between the
two islands, and of no great depth. For q
few millions q solid causeWay could be
built across this narrow strait wide enough
for o road and three lines of railway, which
would make the two countries one. Such
work would be like the Suez canal which
is now approaching its completion with
such rapidity that Manchester houses have
sent out to arrange for their freights to In
dia. The long passage by the Cape of Good
Hope is done for. The canal charges may
be equal to sixteen days expenses ut sea,
but the route will be saving Of thirtydays,
and So large gain in money as well as in
time. The next grand enterprise on this
side the Atlantic will be for direct con-
tinuous railway route from Liverpool to
Calcutta uiG Constantinople. A large part
of the route exists already, and the rest
will q few years hence be completed

A DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE

trunk of clothing being leftin Lynn for q
debt of six dollars to herlandlady. Boston

The Managers' Investigation.

r.
MR.. CHARLES wooLLEY RE-ExAMINED.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The Managers
examination was continued to-day with the
usual energy. Several witnesses were ex-
amined, and Mr.. Charles Woolley, Of Gin
cinnati,, was recalled, and questioned for
two hours or more. The burden of the ex
animation was conducted by Mr.. Boutwell,,
and the conduct of Mr.. Butler is repre-
scented to have been less Objectionable than
on yesterday.
MR.. W. DECLINES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
RELATIVE TO HIS PRIVATE AFFAIRS-HE
IS PLACED IN CHARGE OF THE SERGEANT
AT-ARMs-HE WISHES TO PROCURE WRIT
OF HABEAs CORPUS.
The examination covered substantially
the same ground as gone over yester-
day, and Mr.. Woolley, declining to answer
questions relating to his private business
affairs, was again placed under the charge
of the Sergeant-at-Arms. He desired to
know if he was to be longer held, and he
wrote note to some friends to procure o
habeas corpus for his release, which the.
Managers caused to be delivered. The pa
pers were consequently prepared by Wool
ley's friends, but upon going to the capitol
they found the witness was again undergo
ing examination.
HIS EXAMINATION YESTERDAY CONSIDERED
ILLEGAL.
The Managers subsequently questioned
him regarding kilograms that had passed
between himself and Mr.. Warden, one Of
the Presidents staff. The kilograms being
presented to the witness by the Managers,
the examination yesterday was considered to
be illegal, inasmuch as Butler had admins
tered the oath when he had no authority
to do so.
The chairman of the committee being
temporarily absent, Mr.. Woolley was held
| for further. examination, and will appear
again tomorrow at IL o'clock. j.

Two or three telegraph operators con-

in regard to the messages of commercial
character which had passed over their

the vote, and the originals were retained by
the Managers for future examination.
| A NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT QUESTIONED
RELATIVE TO a CONVERSATION WITH SEN
AToR ROSS.
Mr.. ;Boynton, correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, was questioned in regard
to a conversation held with Senator Ross on
the Thursday preceding the vote in the Sc
nate, and stated that Ross had declared he
should vote for the first, second, and third
articles, and that he saw something also IN
the eighth. In regard to the eleventh, wit
ness stated that Ross thought the article
had not been sustained by testimony. AL
though. he was convinced thatthe President
was guilty Of the charges in the article
while not saying in direct Language that ne
(Ross) would vote for conviction on that
article, the correspondent had understood
that it was his intention to do so.

The effort made to force General G. T..
Wooley to tell what he did with 100000
which he drew in Cincinnati, after he had

only Butler could be guilty of. 1t is said
