ing plainly that the lawyers We're more anx-
ious to talk than the Senate was to hear
them.
The rejection of Gen. Shermans testimony
will also shorten the trial. The President is,
as Gen Butler asserted, q a great CONVERSE
zionist. " and it would have been easy to con-
sumo a month, in giving his talks with news
paper correspondents and Office brokers, to
whom he has coDfdentially communicated,
for FORMULATION, his plans Of action. The
Senate ruled out all this description of
evidence. and among those who voted to thus
sustain the Managers We're Senators Bucka-
lew, Davis. Dixon. Doolittle, Hendricks and
johnson all Democrats. On the other band
some Republican Senators voted to admit all
the evidence which the Presidents counsel
might offer

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. %.

There is much excitement here in re.
lation to the murder of Mrs. Hill. A
Mrs. Twithell is in custody on suspicion
Of participating in the murder. The
decea4 ed was wealthy, having inherited
from her last husband. Mrs Twitchell
is daughter of the deceased by her
ormer husband. Negotiations had
been going on for the purchase of a
house at tie corner of 10th and Pine
Streets. 1t is said that the matter had
been intrusted TO Mr.. Twitchell, and
that he had had the deed made out in
the nan of his wife instead of Mrs.
Hill. There had been some difficulty
about the matter, and Mrs. Hill had
>een advised to commence prosecution
against Mr.. Twitchell for misappropria-
ton of funds. 1t is supposed that the
object of the deed was to possess half the
property, and to get out of the way any
evidence as to how he came into posses
sion of it. The deceased had only life
interest in the property left by her last
husband.
