THE CADBTSHIP SALES
Were again the feature in to-day's pro-
ceedings in the House. The Military
Committee reported the evidence in the
case of Congressman Devices, who re-
sign ed yesterday, accompanied by a reso-
luton, which the House unanimously
passed, condenning his conduct and de
cIaring him to be unworthy to be a rep
resentatiye of the people. After this, a
long discussion arose as to whether the
committee should continue to investigate
cases arising in other Congresses, where
members had not been returned to the
present one. The Committee thought
that at least they had no jurisdiction
over the persons of the alleged offend
ers of other Congresses, r and the
House so decided by combining the
the investigation in future to mem
bers of the present House This
will relieve the committee OF large
amount of labor. The committee have
not disposed of the case of Butler, of
Tennessee, and have summoned addi-
tional witnesses in behalf of Gen. Mum
gen, Of Ohio. The testimony in the lat
ter case, however, appears to be that
Mungen appointed cadet at the solicita-
ton of personal and political friends, two
of whom received three hundred dollars
for services rendered in securing the ap-
pointment; but there is notestimony that
this was done with the knowledge Of
Mungen, or that the latter received any
consideration of any character. 1t at
terWard turned cut the cadet who was ap-
pointed was the son of Republican, and
this circumstance is urged against Mum
gen, who declares that in that particular
he was imposed upon by his Democratic
friends. Gen. Mungen has challenged the
fullest investigation.

BUTLER, OF TENNESSEE, ANOTHER ONE OF

The committee has fully satisfied itself
in Buffers case, and was ready to report
against him to-day, but he asked for time
to allow other witnesses to be examined,
and the committee this afternoon, at his
request, telegraphed to Gen. Schofeld, at
St. Louis, asking his attendance. Butler
says that he can show Gen. Schofield
solicited the appointment of Gen. Tyler's
son. and said it would not violate the
law, as army officers had no residence in
any particular State The committee
does not regard this evidence as really a
material part of the case, but did not
wish to appear as refusing the request Of

GARBALDI's ARRIVAL AT ToI1Rs-Tba
correspondent of the London Teleoronh
writes from Tours October 9th:
This morning we had sensation. Stand
ing at the door Of my hotel, about s o'clock,
L became aware of commotion unaccustom-
ed in this peaceful town. There was hurry
ing and racing, shouting and tossing up
of caps, unwonted-nay, shocking-on the
part of the TOurangeaux. A band of Francs
tireurs passed quickly by, with bent brows
and resolute step. The excited public trooped
behind. Something, said, is in the wind ;
and FASTENED to join the escort We march
ed swiftly down the public avenue and came
to those iron gates of the Prefecture which
have not before seen open; indeed, from
scraps of conversation overheard, the event
seems rarely to have happered in human
memory. "Iiens p growled blouse trotting
beside me, "who ever saw the Prefecture gar
dens belore?" But the gates were wide
enough this morning, and rapidly we all
pressed through. 1t was lovely autumn
Sunday. The wind was high, and, as we
passed along the weedy walks, it dashed in
our faces shower Of dead leaves wet with
the night dews. Between untended flower
beds and shrubberies unkempt we wound
our way, until the broad white facade of
the Prefecture shone through the trees.
Already on the broad walk before its window
stood in line the Francs tireurs; and many
townsman, all aSape, was soaking his boots in
the wet grass. l stood with the rest, not
knowing any mora than them what was to
happen. Then suddenly, at lew window on
one side, appeared kindly face, not older
than when saw it last, five years ago, in
Pal-Mall, but perhaps more gentle, more low
able, than ever. 1t did not need then the
shouting of the crowd to tell me what it was
that We had come out to see, Scarcely is
there child in ChriStendom who does uot
know the face of Garibald Could there
have been any doubt, the loose grey cloak and
the scarlet shirt beneath would have taken it
away. In clear, sonorous tones, and with
much less accent than 1 had expected, the
LiberatOr said: "My children, your welcome
and that of your brothers overwhelms me. /
am only soldier like yourselves. come to
place myself among you to fight Tor the holy
RepublicW Then we all shouted again, and
the General looked up and down the ranks
with that happy smile which belongs only to
him. M. Cremieux's brown, weazened face
now pushed up into notice, and we cheered
for him also. He took the great Italian by
the hand, and patted him on the back, so to
speak; but we did not pay much attention to
M. Cremieux. And at last, after lettering
about awhile, we went back through the dew
laden strawberries, and left Garibaldi to reposs
alter his long travel.

A STORY truly wonderful comes to us from
Longmeadow, a country town in Massachu-
sets, almost rivalling the tales of ancient Ar
cadia. The name is derived from an exten-
sve area of meadow land which is common
property. On the 18th of October, every year,
the farmers are assembled by the ringing of
the church bell, with their herds of stock, be-
fore the massive gate at the entrance OF this
luxurious realm where the afterfeed has been
ripening undisturbed, the ceremonies OF open
ing are performed, and the herds file in in
almost countless numbers to reve in the car
nival of rich feed. Fences in this broad ter
ritory are obstructions unknown, and those
important town officials, 'lence viewers" do
not have to be ballotted for, as their is no oc-
casion for their services. And now the cattle
enjoy the rare luxury of rambling in normal
freedom after having been pent up in scanty
pastures all summer. Ten weeks of liberty
bring sickness to the poorest heifer and re-
new the cOtish antics of the oldest plodder.
At the end of this time the meadow is closed
the feed becoming scanty and the severe
weather approaching, and the herds in ex-
eelent condition for wintering wend their
their way hOmewards.

AN EXCEPTIONAL VERDIcT.-For the first
time, we believe, in the history of American
criminal law, man has been convicted by a
jury for shooting his wife's seducer. The case
has just been tried at Goshen, Ind, in the
Elkhalt county Circuit Court, before Judge
Tousley. The defendant was Edward Rus
sell. He murdered William A. Williams on
the 18th January last. Notwithstanding the
defense clearly proved, by the woman's con-
tession and other evidence, that there had
been improper intimacy between the murder
ed man and the wife of the prisoner, aud that
the murder was committed in a fit OF "tempo-
rary insanity" produced upon the prisoners
mind by the knowledge of this fact, the jury
after four hours deliberation, brought in a
verdict of mansaughter, and Russell was
sentenced to twenty-One years Imprisonment.
A motion for new trial was made and over.

taken to the Supreme Court-Chicago Re

THE Literary World, in illustration of the
great difficulty in keeping the secret of au-
thorship Zone previously seldom coveted), re-
lates the following story describing the case
of modest young lady of Boston, whose first
novel was recently given to the world, and re-
ceived with marked favor. She was deter
mined that its authorship should not be pub
licly known, and, to use slang phrase, "cov-
cred her tracks" with great care. When the
manuscript was ready for the printer, she
took view of the situation. and decided that
her incognito was impenetrabe. But for an
apparently trifing circumstance it would have
been. At the last moment terrible fear
took possession of her mind; she had made
use OF a French phrase in the book, and now,
just as it was about time to 60 into type, she
was afraid the phrase was incorrect. She
crattily put the case-without revealing her
secret-before her French teacher, and was
comforted by the assurance that she had
made no blunder. But the teacher had good
memory, and when the book came out, and
speculation as to its author was rife, recogniz
ed the French phrase, and the tsecret was q
secret no longer.

NCRoNsTADT DESTROYED BY FIRE.-Our
European files of the 18th .ult. report as fol-
lows:-A fearful misfortune has aesolated
Cronstadt. Sixty-two houses have been re-
duced to ashes in the course of few hours
More than 1000 people belonging to the poor
er classes have been left without shelter. The
Orphan,Asylum of the town, the Presbytery OF
the Epiphany and small building belonging
tn the State, in which was a depot of naval
models, were burned. Three streets have
been entirely destroyed.
The fire commenced on the evening of Sum
day, September 20 October p, at eleven
O'Clock, and at two in the morning the whole
OF the district above named was one immense
mass of fire. The fire was not mastered till
six o'clock, and on Thursday evening it had
not been completely extinguished. According
to the first estimate the loss must have been
3O0,OOOru rubles at least, without counting the
furniture destroyed, which must have been
considerable.
The house property was covered by insur-
ance. The greater part of the houses were in.
habited by workmen in the powder mills and
workshops of the port.
SOUTH CARoLINA-A REIGN OF TERROR
IN THE UPPER CoUNrIEs.-The fires of re-
bellion, which have been smSuldering in
South Carolina since the close Of the war
have broken out with renewed intensity
Some three or four weeks ago series of dis
turbances occurred at Laurens county, in that
State, which necessitated the presence of the
United States troops to repress them. Sever
al companies were ordered to the spot, and
succeeded in restoring order. On Thursday
morning, the 10th instant, these troops, to-
gether with the Sth Regiment Uuited States
Infantry, which was stationed at Colombia,
were ordered to New York to assist in pre-
serving order and restraining the equally vio-
lent rebel Democrats of that city at the ap.
preaching election.
The train which arrived at Columbia on the
evening of Friday, the 21st instant, brought
several citizens of Laurens and Newbury
counties who had been compelled to flee theil
homes for fear of their lives. These gentle
men reported a perfect reign of terror in tn,
upper counties of the State. Immediatel,
alter the departure of the United State
troops the Democracy made an attack upoy
the State constabulary, numbering some fou
or five men, driving them off or killing them
They then broke into the armory, possessed
themselves of the arms contained therein
and began an indiscriminate slaughter O.
white and negro Republicans. 1t is reported
that over fifty persons have already fallen vic
Tins at the hands of these men, but such is
the isolated condition of these counties, and
the fact that the telegraph and other facilities
for getting news are under the complete con.
troll of the rebels, that no definite particulars
can be obtained.
