NEW YORK, July 3l.-Ihe Beecher In
vestigatiDg Committee resumed their ses-
sion this evening. Shortly after clock
Mr.. Hill entered the house, accompanied
by a lady closely yelled. At nine car
riage drove up to the door, when young
man Jumped out and entered Strongs
residence. In Il few minutes he came
out, entered the vehicle and was driven
away. In about half an hour the same
carriage returned and a gentleman
jumped out, and when the door was
opened, spoke few words to the person
opening it, and came back to the car
rlage. The young man, who was SCREEN
ing himself in the carriage, then came
out. 1t is said that he was messenger
from Vic. Woodruff aud Z. c. Clatiin to
the committee and had been sent to know
from that body if their testimony was
required, but they informed him that the
committee did not desire to examine
them. He handed the reporters copy
of his communication, which was as fol-
lows:

munication of few moments ago is be-
fore you, and as you know it, it becomes
me to insist, so far as l can, upon a
more satisfactory reply to its contents
The parties referred to are in the city

wait your pleasure at the door in car.
riage."
After this had been copied by the re-
porters, both gentlemen re-entered the
carriage. The committee adjourned
few minutes before II m.
When the lady came out, she was sur
rounded by the members of the commit
tee and taken to the residence of Mr..
Ovington, from which it was inferred
that the witness was Mrs. Tilton. The
committee meet again Monday evening.
Despite the action of the Government
in refusing to send the military to Vicks-
burg, the executive powers still persist
IN the statement that the public peace is
endangered. Governor Ames, who has
been away from his post, has returned,
and has telegraphed to President Grant,
reiterating in the main the apprehen-
sions set forth in kilograms and mail ad-
vices previously forwarded by the negro
Lieut.. Governor Davis. He makes no
formal demand for troops, but the tenor
OF his dispatch is such as tointimate that
he desires Federal troops to be called to
Vicksburg on election day. Meantime
almost every mail brings protests from
reputable citizens of Vicksburg, de-
nounclng the action of the Executive Off
GERS as unwarranted, and without cause,
other than to intlmdate voters. The dis
patch was forwarded to President Grant
but no reply has been received. The
correspondence will be made public by
the War Department after the President
has rendered his final decision as to what
course he will pursue in the matter.
They are quite voluminous.
WASHINGTON, July 81. - Governor
Ames to-day telegraphed the President
that the condition OF affairs in Vicksburg
is alarming; that infantry and cavalry or
CARNATIONS exist, and bodies of armed
men, in violation of the law. have as
sumed the guardianship of the place.
The controversy is political. The Demo-
Gratis, who are white, and the Republi-
cans. who are mostly black, each fear
frauds and violence from each other.
The Democrats, who are masters of the
situation, oppose the presence OF troops.
Ames asks" Can there be any Sc.
rious or harmful results in sending
troops there? Will it not be the least OF
two evils to have troops there in case of
emergency?
Secretary Belknap sent the following
reply: Hon. A. Ames, Jackson, Miss.
The contents of your dispatch have
been submitted to the President, and he
declines to move troops except under
call made strictly in accordance with the
terms of the Constitution.

ton for Congress.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 31.-The
Democratic State Convention adjourned
this afternoon. B. d. Lewis and W. H.
Forney were nominated candidates for
Congress at large. The resolutions an
bounce that the actions of the Republi- |

Of all whites in self-defense. They also
jenounce the abominable violation OF |
the Constitution contemplated in the
Civil Rights bill.
