PAPER CREDITS.
Mr.. Farwell made speech of two hours
length this afternoon on the subject of paper
credits. He was at times very eloquent and
was listened to by full house. The argument
which he used was adverse 10 an investigation
which the Legislature has ordered. He, how
ever, said that he favored the Investigation and
predicted that an expense of $4,000 by the
State would exonerate him and Others who had
been accused of dishonerable connection
with paper credits.

TOURS, March 23.-In the trial of Prince
Bonaparte to-day the witnesses examined prove
that Fonviele said that Victor Noir slapped
the Prince in the face. The lawyers for the
prosecution dwelt with effect on the grave con-
Predictions of this testimony. One OF the pros
cutting lawyers created sensation by jeclar-
ing that the original report of the police in the
case was not to be found, and only copy dat
ed ten days later could b. produced. One Wit
ness swore he heard Fonvele exclaim, "If hts
pistol had not missed fire he would have shot
the Prince" This had an effect on the spec
tators, who were evidently beginning to lean
to the cause of the Prince. Tire witnesses for
the prosecution were then examined. Arnauld
testified that Victor Noir had no intention of
attacking the accused when he went to his
house.

panied by Two gems d drmes, and took his place

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Several bills and
memorials were presented and referred. Among
the latter was one from Gen. ROsecrans, rep
resenting that while he was Minister to Mexi-
co he became particularly acquainted with the
resources of that country and with its neces-
stiles of telegraph and railroads, and asking
for the incorporation of a company to transact
business there if not inconsistent with tine
United States or its laws.
The bill to provide for the civilization of the
Indians and prepare them for citizenship, be-

| taucy.
MT. Carpenter sustained the report of the
Judiciary Committee, contestiDg that neither

WORKING UP CAsE.-Tuesday morning a
young woman drove up to the sidewalk in
front of Fluents Hall on Congress street, fas-
tened her horse to the hitching post, and en-
tered the store of Mrs. Patrick, under Con-
gress Hall. She selected some ten dollaps
worth of underclothing and a couple of in
fant's waists. and informed Mrs. P. that her
name was Ellen Morgan, and that she wanted
to take the goods up to Mrs. Themes, the wife
of one of the proprietors of the U. s. Hotel to
look at. Mrs. Patrick let her take the goods
and the woman departed. After waiting some
two hours for her return, and Miss Morgan not
putting in an appearance, Mrs. Patrick went
to the station and informed Marshal SWEET Ct
the circumstances who placed the matter in
the hands of Deputy Perry to work up.
The first thing that Capt Perry did was to
90 to the hotel, but no such girl as Ellen Nor
gan wo1 ked there. Alter unavailiDg attempts
to find out anything about her there, he hap
pened to ask the porter if he had seen such
young woman, describing her dress to dot,
and her horse and sleigh. The porter then re-
membered that young woman had entered
the house with whip in her hand exactly an
sweripg the description, and furthermore that
she formerly lived in the house as a servant
but that her name was Ellen Fitzgerald, and
she was not employed there then. The Depu-
ty then went to several stables to see if she
had put her team up at any Of them. She had
not, but at Clay & Raymond's one of the
stable hands recognized the team by the de-
scription and said that it belonged to Mr..
Blunt. of Saccarappa, and that he had seen
the girl driving it on the street that day. The
Deputy then went out to Saccarrappa, found
Mr.. Blunt at livery st bile that be formerly
owned, who said the girl was boarding at a
Mrs. Mariners. The Deputy went to the house
but NO girl boarded there He was about get
ting discouraged when he remembered friend
of bis lived in the village and he called on him
His friend said he believed the girl lived in the
rear of the house occupied by Mrs. Mariner.
Thither they went, but the girl had gone out,
and Furthermore the woman who came to the
door wanted to know what was wanted as two
men had just been there to see the girl On
inquiring who the men were Deputy Perry
made up his mind one was Blunt and he was.
trying to play sharp instead of blunt game
He went back to the stable but Blunt was not
there He waited till Blunt retured and told
him that he was confident that he was trying

ter return to fowl with him. The result of the
matter was that Blunt told Perry and his friend
that if they would take one road to Cumber.
land Mills be would take the other and bring
the girl. They did SO and at Cumberland Mills,
as had been pre-arranged, met Blunt and tie
girl and arrested them both. When the girl
was searched the goods were found, besides
couple of pairs of nice corsets that had been
stolen from Mrs. E. S. Doten, dealer in hair
work, gloves, corsets, etc., on Middle street.
It was nicely worked up job.
