CONFESS AND BUTLER.-The Washington
gos>ips are busying themselves with 4 story
Of reported conversation between General
Butler, one of the Managers, and Senator
Conness, one of the jurors in the impeach-
ment trial. The Herald's correspondent
gives this version: Butler is said to have
had private talk with Senator Conness dur
ing the discussion before the recess. Ac-
cording to nv information CONFESS made
sign to the Manager TO withdraw, and the
pair went into the private lobby at the rear of
the Senate Chamber, where they had conf
dental conversation, on what subject of
course l do not undertake to say. The New
York Times also notices the story editorially
thus: We would like TO know what CONVEX
sation passed between Senator Conness, one
OF the jury on the impeachment trial, and
Mr. Butler, the leading counsel for the pros
ecution, in the private lobby OF the Senate
Chamber the other day.

TIE Track LAYING MAcHrNr.-Tbe
Vallejo Recorder, commenting upon
some remarks BY the Alta, says:

Vallejo Recorder, commenting upon
some remarks by the Alta, says:
The Alta possibly over-estimates the capa-
city of the machine, when it can lay six or
seven miles day. 1t has not yet accom-
plished the work of laying two miles in one
day although that distance is undoubtedly
within the range of its capacity. Twelve
hundred and fifty yards is the maximum
which it has reached yet, but for all that, it
is nevertheless true "that one Of the most
important inventions Of the age has been
made " and the fact may with safety, as it
deserves to be, telegraphed all over the
world without any fears of an after clap in
the shape of an authentic contradiction.
In another article the same paper
says:
Dexter drove US out to the line Of the road
on Thursday. We found the track layer
pegging away at point about six miles from
the terminus. 1t was working to the entire
satisfaction of all concerned, considering that
:" rush things" could not be obtained for
love or money. Fifty Cinnamon were to ar
rive on Friday night, with accession to the
force already employed will make a percep-
tible difference in the prosecution of the
work. The active demand for white labor in
the field is well evinced by the fact that Rob
inson & WhiteSide have had a standing de-
mand at the Labor Exchange in San Fran
cisco for the number of hands needed for
over week. Since our last visit to the
machine a number of Improvements have
been made in the running gear. which to
some extent indicate the important changes
which will be made in the construction of
those hereafter to be built. The success of
the invention is beyond peradventure, and it
only remain to see to what an extent its capa-
city for work can be increased. The tunnel

GENERAL BUFFERS DAUGHTER IN THE
GEORGETOWN CONVENT. The Washington
correspondent Of the Nashville Bonner tells
the following
At the beginning of the present session
of congress General Butler brought his
family to Washington, and made arrange
ments for placing his daughter ia the con-
vent at Georgetown, which is famous for
being one OF the very best schools in the
country. 1t happens that the young ladies
matriculated in this institution are chiefly
Southern girls. When they heard, there
fore, that daughter Of Massachusetts, Hay
nau was coming to reside with them, there
was an immense hutter and general resolve
mot to receive herr Miss Blanche q be-
leve that is her name made her appear
snce, however, most engaging, we'll
bred, kind-hearted creature, and the ice
soon melted before her. 1t was not long
before there was eomplets "TeactionY in J.
her favor. and she is now the most popular
girl in the convent mention the incident
not only as a sort Of feather in the Butler
cap, but as another illustration Of the over
towering influence Of "femsle loveliness."
1t is quite affecting, isn't it? ~
