INCIDENTS OF THE SESSION.

THE COMMITTEE MEET AT Mr. BEECHEks . HoOeE'
For some unknown reason the COmmlttee
met Mr. Beecners residence last nght instead Oh a'
Mr. storrss About O'Clock Mr. Storrs left his house,
and proceeded to Mr.. Beechers on Columbia flights
The counsel Messrs Tracy Hlll shearman. aud VIM o.
Bartlett came after the other. but no MEMBER OF
the Committee was to enter the house.
II was evidently the intention Of the Commit
tee not to have the place OF their meeting
known a. the utmost secrecy was observed
in regard it, No information could be obtained at Mr.
Storrss house. Gen. Tracy asked ON alghtlng from
his carriage front of Mr.. Beechers, whether the
Committee would meet there not, but he returned
eduvocal answers He said he was going In any way"
The doorsteps were occupied during the whole evening
by several people, some Of whom were members OF Mr.
family They refused toay any thing about the
Committee Mr.. Oyngton was asked during the evening
whether il was matter of decision with the Committee
that place of meeting should be kept secret II pos
sibe Ho replied that he believed 1t was, and added
that he considered it very njudcious on their part
When asked what the Committee had for taking
this step Mr.. Ogington said that matters were
now getting down TO pretty fine point,
aud the Committee were consequently inclined
to keep their proceedings very secret"
He thought that several important witnesses
were still to be examined, and he was under the impress
sion that Mr.. Beecher would be the principal witness
during the evening About o'clock telegram arrived
for Mr. Beecher Soon after Mr.. Hill accompanied by
another gentleman, out, aud entering carriage
drove away. Leaving his companion IN Perrepontst,
Mr. Hill drove rapidly up Cintonst and returned In
half an hour alone, to Mr. Beecher's. The Committee
adjourned about lG3O O'Clock s. vWhe. who seemed to
be in great good humor, stated that strict
secrecy was enjoned upon all members OF the Com
mittee and declined to say what had been done during
the evening, or who had been examined. He said re-
peaedly with evident satisfaction, to the reporters
who questioned him. :" you. you shall not be
kept waiting long You shall know all very soon" Mr.
Cadin who accompanied Mr. White, also said that
everything would soon be made public.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Mr Smith, late In
spector- General OF Steamboats,. has written TO the
Secretary Of the Treasury Withdrawing the tehder ol
his resignation of that Office. 1t will be remembered
that charges were made that Mr. Smith was very eX-
travagaut-to harsher term-in the expenditure
of Government money and that soon as the facs III

ment and from the report Of his associates on the BOr
Explosion Commission, were presented showing lh"t he
had expended than half of the appropriation OF
Congress only part OF which they could account Tor
the President directed the Secretary OF the Treasury TO
reoucst Inspector Smiths resignation. In accordance
Herewith the resi- sgnaton rendered aud accepted
and now the deposed officer asks 10 recall It, The secrc
tarv says that il is out OF his power To rensate the
officer his resignation has been accepted ana the
fact upon the records OF the Department Some
of Mr. Smiths friends complain that he has been Ill
treated by Administration and demonstrate against
his displacement 1t Is stated that the papers on file in
the Department against him, bearing on his Official
conduct OF serious and damaging Character
and published would still further lnjure him In the
eyes public. The Secretary, however refuses 10
furnish the papers for publication
1t is understood that the Charmanshp Of the Steam
Boiler Explosion Commission has been offered to Joseph
Wlnock of Kentucky. This gentleman has long been

Academy were A. D. Bache Dana Glllis, Henry, Leroy

the future experiments in seambOer explosions over

an appropriation by the Government, but that members

this matter under considerations and as soon as tho
chairmanshp has been filed it will be determined
whether the experiments shall be conducted IN the same
manner as heretofore under the auspices OF the
National Academy Of Sciences. There Is one dhculty

For this reason say that the facts which Mr.. Mouon

me the most who pursue me with seir abuse, simply
because they see Mr. Beechers conviction their own
ignomlny exposed aud their ruin inevitable What
wonder that they should defend Mr.. Beecher!"
