Some Mighty Interesting Reading

New York, January IA Times
special from Washington, giving the de-
tails Of the Senatorial caucus yesterday,
says: Developments were made IN the
caucus in regard to Gushing that have
not snly defeated him for the Chief JUS
tieehip but have disgraced him before
the country and which will possibly de-
prive him of his mission to Spain.
During the caucus, after the adjourn
ment of the Senate in the afternoon,
Boutwell, made a long and earnest
speech in favor Of Cushing. Boutwells
speech was followed by an argument OF
Conkling, also in Cushing's favor. at
the conclusion Of their remarks Sar:
gent arose and made a strong pro-
test against his (Cushing's) confrma'
ton, quoting from Cushings record
and political anteeedents to show his
unGtness for the high position. He con-
cluded his speech by producing and
reading the original letter, written by
Cushing in 1861, which he said ought
forever to settle the question before
them. 1t was letter written on the
goth Of March, 1861 to Jefferson Davis,
at that time already at the head Of the
rebel government at Montgomery, Ala.
with the leaders of the rebellion, conclu-
ding finally ia the conspiracy to over
throw the government. The letter in
troduced a young man by the name of
Roane, native of North Carolina, who
had been clerk in one of the departments
at Washington, aud for a time Cushing 5
private secretary. 1t referred to him
as Young man who had concluded
to Join his people 81 for the reason
that he sees, as you and l see,
Mr.. Davis, that the Union of the
States is severed and the Government
destroyed" 1t commended him to
Davis consideration and core Sar-
gent read from the original letter which
he had obtained yesterday Tuesday
morning) among the rebel archives at
Washington, for which s75, 600 was paid
by the Government nearly two years ago
TO one Pickett, who had them in Canada
for safe keeping Pending the last cleo
ton his attention had been directed
to it by an annonymogs letter, in which
be was told to examine the archives in
the War Department. After reading
the latter, Sargent asked If the Senators
would CONFIRM such a man for Chief
Justice. The disclosure fell upon the
assemblage like a clap OF thunder.
Boutwell, aad Cameron said that in view
Of The letter they could not vote for him,
and Carpenter made an earnsst speech
against his confirmation. It was de-
cided that the Judiciary Committee
should call on the President and submit
the letter to him, aud for the present to
leave The matter in his hands. The
President gss made aware Of the nature
Of the developments made last night,
ard IL is understood that he vii. with
draw Cushings name to-day.

The audience that testified to this tai
ented lady at Corinthian Hall last
evening, while it was large it was
composed of the most appreciative and
intellectual Of our people, who admire
such entertainment in preference to the
wornout and vulgar amusements under
the head of negro miustrelsy. And
Mrs. 0'ByrEes superb readings were re,
caiyed with marked satisfaction and
most evident enjoyment. There was
that lack of bosterous stamping
and miserable screeches that char
acterize the reception of some I'M
couth, vulgar joke of minstrel, but
during the recitation of every piece
almost breathless silence filled the hail,
and at any time pin oould DO heard
drop in the room. 1his is true and gem
uine evidence of appreciation. Mrs.
O'Byrne makes fine appearance
on the stage, and by her grac-
full and pleasant manner made friends
with her audience the moment the
recitation began. That she ranks
high in her profession, none that were
present last night can doubt, and we
heard many pronounce her peer OF Mrs.
Scott siddons. Calm and selfposses-
sed, there was no hesitaney in any sin
gle part, and the audience we're kept in
good humor from her ready changes
from the difficult, labored rendition of
Shakespeare 10 the light and laughable
rendition OF Widow Bedot, or one Of Tom
Moore's poems. She has voice full of
richness and power, sweet in tone, and
exceedingly distinct 10 pronunciation.
We are sorry that more Of our intelligent
people who appreciate such entertain
ments could not have been present and
heard LIBERALIZATION, Kan, Champion,

THE news from Washington to-day i

THE news from Washington to-day in
regard to Caleb Gushing, is readable.
An old letter written in 1861 to Jefferson
Davis, and read in the Senate yesterday
destroyed all of Cashing's hopes of pc
inc either Chief Justice or Minister to
Spain. 1t is not likely that he will man
ifest sufficient repentance and saekcloth
on such short notice to atone for his
sympathy with the Southern Confed-
eracy. The letter may be a forgery pre-
pared for the occasion, out the effect is
all the same for the present with the
Senate and the administration.
