that claims for stolen cattle, made against

Boston, March lin the Senate this after
noon first ballot for United States Senator re-
suited in 10 votes being cast for Boutwell,, II
for Dawes, for Loring, for Hoar. The rest
were scattering, thrty-eight of the forty votes
being given. In the House Boutwell, had ITO
votes, DAVIS 80, Loring 16, Hoar Z, Whitney 8,
Banks 8, and the rest scattering, 237 votes be-
ing given.
Later. There were 4 ballots in the State
Senate this afternoon for a Senator to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Hon.
Henry Wilson in the U. S. Senate, and in con-
sequence of the great pressure brought to bear
on the members, there was no choice on the
part of that body. On the second voting
Dawes had Is votes, Boutwell, 10, Loring s, and
there were 5 scattering, the total being 3S.
The third and fourth votes Dawes had ~, Bout
well 7, Loring g. and 8 were scattering, and at
this point the voting was suspended.
In House the second vote resulted in the
choice of Mr.. Boutwell, who received 124 votes
of the 23S given; Dawes getting 80, Loring TO-
Whitney 6 and the rest scattering. The result
was surprise to the supporters of Mr.. Dawes,
and tonight number of them had a caucus
and resolved to stick by their candidate, and it
was announced that Whitney would probably
withdraw in the convention tomorrow in
favor of Mr.. Dawes, but even the full vote of
Whitney will not help him, and it is generally
conceded here this evening that Mr.. Boutwell,
will be elected on first ballot of the two branch
es of the Legislature in convention which as
sembles at noon tomorrow.

JUBILEE slNeERs.-The Jubilee Singers who
give an entertainment at City Hall this evening
are spoken off in the following high terms by
the New York Tribune:
The Jubilee Singers gave concert last
night in Steinway Hall, before an audience
which entirely filled the building. There are
eleven persons in the company-seven young
women and four young men. The songs which
they brought us were almost without exception
the songs which they brought with them out OF
servitude-the rapturous hymn in which the
oppressed used to chant the coming OF the Gay
OF deliverence; the sad strains In which tne SUI,
fering slave bemoaned his wrongs; the SHOUTS
of religious exaltation which resounded IN NTH. the
plantation camp-meetdg If the s tha ion
given on this occasion fairly represent tne IA
vorite subjects of the slave singers, the preva-
saee Of spfds among IS ve ens sg1

more intensely dramatic than this, for there
never was singing more sincere. 1t was not an
exhibition of art; it was the expression of real
emotion,

New Testimony i'm the Boggy Bribery
Case.

ST. LOUIS, March 1.-THE Republican has
special despatch from Jefferson City, which
says it is understood there that memorial was
drawn up at the Planters House in st. Louis
Sunday by several leading Democrats in and
out of the Legislature and forwarded to the
Committee on Privileges and Elections at
Washington, which contains some new testi-
mony on the alleged Doggy bribery matter
The prospect of the testimony it is said is
that during the last Senatorial Democratic
caucus, after General Phelps had been dropped,
Col McAfee, the law partner of Phelps de-
termined to urge the Phelps men to vote for
Blair and with this view called some of
Phelps friends out of the caucus and told them
Phelps desired that his friends should vote for
Blair and that he (Phelps,) had been beaten by
the money of Doggy. A leading member, who
was working for Boggy came out of the caucus
room and stated to the members in the rotunda
and who were Phelps men that Doggy would
give $4,000 to be elected. Major Melten and
Gen. S. Shelby who were in the rotunda at the
time are said to have heard and commented
upon this offer. 1t is further stated that Hutch
ms, the member from St. Louis, who is evident
ly referred to in the despatch as the leading
member who was working for Doggy, had a
short talk with another member, and that
member and one or two others who had avowed
their intention to vote for Blair went into the
caucus and voted for Doggy. These statements
will be sworn to, and the names of witnesses
will be sent on with the memorial

BEETHOVEN QUINTETTE CLUB.-The concer

place the Beethoven ahead of any instrumental
quintette in the country. The name of Mr..
Chas. Koppitz alone, the leader of the orches
ira at the Globe, ought to fill City Hall on this
occasion. Then there are Allan, Heind'l, Null
laly and Wulf Fries, all of whom are soloists

one. As this is the first appearance of the

Governor, Railroad Commissioner, three mem
bers of Congress, State counsellors and Legis-
lature took place to-day. The canvas has been
remarkably quiet and getting to the voting
places in many localities was difficult from the
bad weather and deep snow.
Gov. Straw received the support of the Re-
publicans for reelection. and ex-Gov. Jas. A.
Weston the support of the Democrats. G. K
