WASHINGTON.

Washington, %. 1t is stated at late hour
tonight, thate details of the Louisiana cleo
ton bill has been somewhat changed, dispos-
ing of the congressional commission of one
senator and two representatives, but author
izing the President to appoint commission
to consist it is supposed of military officers.
The Louisiana bill now being passed by
Butler, Carpenter and others provides that
the new election proposed for that State
shall be conducted under the the supervision
of a congressional consisting of one senator
and two representatives. Gen. Butler will
have charge of the bill in the house, and its
passage will depend upon upon the support OF
the democrats who for the most part are op-
posed to re-opening the question, being averse
to congressional interference in the affairs OF
q State, although condemning the means by
which the Kellogg government was placed in
power. Senators Carpenter and Thurman
and Butler had a prolonged consultation on
the subject.
Lieut.. General Sheridan arrived last night,
in obedience to the summons of the House
committee on military affairs, before whom
on Monday he will give his views concerning
organizing the army. 1t is known that he IA
vors an increase rather than reduction, il
the government intends to continue its policy
of protecting the exposed settlements.

ROCkLAND'

Rockland, %. At o'clock yesterday
morning, a woman was found in dying con.
dtion on the bridge of one Of the lime kilns
below the front Of winter street. The police
were notified, and she was removed to house
near by, and physician sent for, but though
dead when he arrived. The body was identi-
fed as that of Mrs. Caroline Petee, woman
about 50 years old. There were various
bruises and marks of violence upon her per.
assault may have been committed upon her.
bottle containing small quantity Of whiskey
was found near by where she lay, and two OF
three pipes, and a shawl. The deceased was
of Incorporate habits, but there is no evi.
dence that she was intoxicated, and it il
strongly suspected that she was dragged to
the place where she was found and the bottle
placed by her TO give the impression that she
had wandered there in a state of intoxication.
During the preceding night she had been a,
the house Of James Thorndike, place no.
torious for rumselling and other wickedness,
where the noise of disturbance was heard,
and where the deceased was probably roughly
handled. She was afterwards at the house
of Ann Burns, place of equally bad repute,
and it is reported that Thorndike's wife
was quarrelling with her there, and followed
her when she left, after which nothing was
known of her till she was found as described.
The affair is enveloped in mystery. Coroner
Rust Of Rockport was sent for and began an
inquest, which has been adjourned till p
NJ, Tomorrow. The Investigation was pri-
vate. DIR. Banks made post-mortem ex.
animation of the body to-day, the result O.
which is not yet made known. The body ha.
been turned over to the city undertaken, ant
will be buried tomorrow. Thorndike ant
his wife left town yesterday, but returned to-
dsy. No arrests have yet been made.
