- CHICAGO, December 24th.--A Wash
ington special says in regard to the
Pacific Mail investigations: ga strong
subcommittee, consisting Of Kasson,
Niblack, Black and Burchard, has
been directed to sit in New York, with
full powers. One of the first objects
will be TO discover the person to
whom the $500,000 check was paid.
The officers of the Metropolitan and
American Exchange Banks will be
summoned. Kings evidence has al
ready been taken. 1t was q part of
the missing testimony transmitted
from the last Congress, and that in
Jest," and that the member voted
against the subsidy. If the check
passed through the Park and the Me-
tropolitan Banks, its passage was ir-
regular. The original check is here,
and bears the payment-stamp of no
bank, which would not have been the
case if it passed either of those banks,
unless it was paid in a very irregular
way. Rufus Hatch, of the Pacific
Mail Company, who has the check
here, doubts the payment through
these. He says it was part of the
Harriet and Noyes transaction. Par

nection with the Pacific Mail subsidy.
AT the time of the passage of the sub
sidy, Parsons was Marshal of the
United States Supreme Court. His

The Beeeher-TiIton Case.
NEW YORK, December 24th.-The
latest phase of the Tilton- Beecher
case indisputably shows that the Til
ton party are trying to delay the case
by trickery, Sinking service of the
bill OF particulars ordered by the
Court and by retreating from their
own propositions for stipulations to be
mutually agreed upon as an alterna-
tive OF arguing the appeal. Beecher's
position in the best public sentiment
is daily improving by the growing
conviction that he seeks no SYM
pathy nor favor, and in awaiting
himself of every legal right is only
conscientiously doing what is essen
tial to the protection of the Christian
cause, with which his name is identi-
fled, and the reputation for purity of
others whose names are necessarily
identified with his own in the charges
to be met.
