ALLEGED SEDUCTION. = yesterday evening
Anuie Gill, a somewhat strange looking female,
who, it is said, was discharged from the Cotton
Factory, some time ago, on account OF bad
character, made complaint before Justice Pad
gett, and had issued a warrant OF arrest against
a young man residing 10 Alexandria county,
named Richard Roberts, aged about seventeen
years, charging him with seduction uuder a
| PROMISE of marriage. The case was set for
trial at 10 o'clock this morning, at which time
the defendant and his counsel, Mr.. Edmund
Burke, appeared and demanded an lnvestlga-
tiou. Aud now the appointed hour which

Mr.. Cobb, of Kansas, moved an addition
al section requiring the Secretary of War
when selecting railroad lines for the trans
portation of supplies, and when there are
competing lines, to consider the money
paid to those Pacific railroads and their
branches from which the Government re-
tains the amounts charged for its business,
so much money saved from the Treasury.

The Bank Trap that Caught Andrew
Johnson
Mr.. Beck offered the following resolu-
tion, which was adopted:
Whereas, the First National Bank of the
city of Washington recently became insol-
vent and is now in the hands of a receiver,
in consequence, as is alleged, of lending to
or placing in the control of a single firm
the whole of its capital stock as well as a
large part Of the money of its depOSitors,
which is inpalpable violation of the nation
al banking act; and, whereas, circumstances
attending the failure of the said bank and
the character Of the management under
which so gross a violation Of law could
have taxed place, demand an investigation
to the end that remedies may be applied to
guard against like frauds in the future;
therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Committee on Bank
ing and Currency be instructed to examine
into the condition of said bank at the time
Of its failure and its prior transactions and
general management, with power to send
for persons and papers.

CERCUnsrANrIAL EVIDENCE.

Williamson county. H., is euiOving the
novel privilege Of contemplating the Tesur-
rection Of supposed corpus delicf. An
ME Iope was living with family named
Sides, near JOnesbOro, every member OF
which was supposed to be equal to the
commission Of murder. One night. wo-
meas voices were heard in loud alteration
and two piS;Ol-shOts were fired, followed
by piercing shrek, after which Annie
I0pe was seen no more in the vicinity of
JonesDOrO. Some months passed away,
during which the most uncomplimen-
tary rumOrs were circulated relative to
the connection Of the Sides family with
her disappearance. A search was made for p
the murdered girls remains, and was so lar
successful that the body Of 2 woman was
found in Williamson county with two bul-
let-hOles in it. Some clothing and trinkets
upon 1t were identified as the property Of
Annie Tope, and a strong case was appar-
emily made out against the Sides family,
who were arrested and lodged in Jail. The

at a preliminary investigation, may be
imagined when, all the evidence for the
State being in, counsel for the defense
placed upon the Witness-stand the girl
whose remains had apparently been dis
covered sOnie weeks previously. Since
Miss Tope emphatically repudiates the
corpse, the county is diligently

z VSrrEnr0U Fab S-Ar, article 4

FROM the Ninclnuet OoInEltTcfdt.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. San article In
the Nelo York Tribune of yesterday,
giving a very gloomy picture Of the
condition of the Treasury, charging
such an excess Of expenditures over ap-
propriations as will make a deficit by
the end of the year of about forty mil
lions Of dollars, has excited great deal
OF comment in all circles. AS a rule,
those who have given it attention are
disposed to regard the statements in
the editorial as highly colored and over
drawn. At the same time there Is an
apprehension of a disagreeable state of
affairs in this regard, and very few
have the confidence to believe that
there viii not be deficiency of some
extent to be supplied. There Is
lust complaint made that Government
officials are perversely " and determined
ly blind to the necessity that exists for
rigid economy. They constantly reply
to all suggestions of the sort, that it is
preposterous for the people to expect
rapidly developing country to getalong
with the simple expenditures of years
gone by. In this way they were aided
and abettei by the city press, which
labors, of course, in the interest of the
city. But Congressman take a differ
ent view of the matter. For instance,
they say that they can not understand
why a clerk in Washington should be
paid more for the same amount of work
actually performed, than clerkin New
York, Cincinnati. Chicago, st. Louis,
or any other cf the large cities. The
favoritism that has sprung up through
political influences to make the Gov
ernment pay more for its work than
private employers do, stands fair
chance TO be thoroughly ventilated and
abolished; provided, always, the pres
ent virtuous fit of Congress continues
any length of time.

Death in The Deer Hunf-A Melancholy
Homicide.
FRANCEsvILLE, Nd. Feb. 10.-A terri
ble accident occurred about six miles east
of this place on Sunday last, whereby one
man lost his life and another may lose
his mind. The facts as near as can be GOT
are that four persons had seen the track of
a deer and armed themselves with double
barTeled shot guns, and ON the morning
Of the day mentioned started ont. Their
names were Thomas Mills, B. +. Lincoln,
l.. Hurley and Dutchman whose name j
could not get. After going a short distance,
Hurley returned to the house and was to
watch the south side and come to them if
called. The other three went ON. They
soon came ON the deer and Lincoln was to
FIRE, but his gun stopped. Then Mills said
kneel down, lei me give him a shot. He
knelt down. Mills fired one barrel but
failed to bring the deer and it startled in a
circle that brought Lincoln directly in line
and Just as Mills pulled the trigger Lincoln
raised up just high enough TO get the con-
tents Of one barrel of six buckshOt in the
head, the charge entering at the left side
and back Of the ear and tearing the whole
front of the face in a dreadful manner.
LicOln lived only about ten minutes. He
was single man, aged about 2l years.
Mills Is nearly crazy and has been watched
eyer since the catastrophe. He has tried to
take his life once or twice already. The
whole thing was accidental. Did not learn
the particulars Of the inquest.

peal of the law. He had always doubted
the expediency of such a law, and argued
that the experience of England demon
strated the abuses andfrauds which attend
ed the operation of every bankrupt law
He doubted the propriety of any legisla-
tion to release debtors of their obligations
without the consent of creditors. He be-
lieved public sentiment was favorable to
the repeal of the bankrupt law, and the
Senate could lock to the House of Repre-
sentatives for the, manifestation of that
public opinion. That body had passed q
bill for the repeal of the law.

tee were agreed to. LoSt-19 to 40.

tiOn of 8 per centum temporary loan GER

This bill authorizes the Comptroller Of

rency from States having an excess of cir
culation, and issue to those States and

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The clouds
which gathered around the head of At
torney General Williams do not seem
to have dispersed. His nomination to
be Chief Justice was withdrawn in
Difference to the strong sentiment of
the country and the Senate, but subse-
duently, it seems, there was a hope ON
his part and that of his friends that he
could be renominated and confirmed.
Mr. Williams was probably not aware
of the strength of the case made out
against him when he ventured to send
in his letter to the Senate Judiciary
Committee, in which he assumed the
air and part OF injured innocence. This
letter was couched IN terms calculated
to provoke more rigid investigation,
and it is whispered that inquiries were
addressed to him by the committee
which he found It somewhat diff
ficult to answer. A second letter
TO the Judiciary Committee from
the Attorney General has not
dispelled the grave suspicion resting
upon his official conduct. The matter
rests at this stage, SO far as the Senate
Judiciary Committee is concerned, but
reports are in circulation among well
Informed persons which, if true, would
render an investigation by Congress
eminently proper. 1t would be in or.
der at this stage for any true friend OF
the administration and Of the Attorney
General, to move for a full and free
publication of all matters and evidence
connected with and growing out Of the
late nomination of Mr. Williams for
Chief Justice, which have been dis
closed to the Senate or any Of its COM
mittees, to the end that if he be SLAM
dered man, as his friends allege, his
vindication may be full and complete.
Mr.. Williams friends have not moved
for any such removal Of the veil of Sc
cresy. and this fact Is perhaps quite
significant. As there are unpleasant
Tumors still in circulation affecting his
official character, it is just possible that
an investigation may be had during the
present week which will clear up some
of the uncertainty in regard to this
subject.
