Sheridan was Sent TO New Orleans.

WAsHINGToN. January 25.-The Pres
ident sent to the Senate to-day in fur
ther response to its resolutions of inquiry
another large mass Of manuscript
copies of correspondence relative to dis
orders in Louisiana. The correspondence
dates to October %, 1874 and begins with
various cipher kilograms sent by Gen.
Emory to the War Department in which
he expresses strong disapprobation of
Major Merrels action in making
athduvits against the citizens Of
Shreveport under which hey
were arrested for alleged violation of the
enforcement act.
Emory informed Merrill that he
considered his personal appearance rs
prosecutor was departure from the e.
tablished rules of the service, and mis-
chievous in It's tendency.
Merrill thereupon explained that
his action was due to the fact that no cit

ccpt Mt the risk of his life, and submits
sundry voluminOus reports detailing tn ?

The Beechcr-TiIton Trial.

New YORK, january 25.-The usual
crowd gathered in the Brooklyn City
Court room to-day, to be- present at the
great scandal. Assistant pastor Halliday
wa, the first of the Plymouth church
delegation to enter. Judge Nelson, ar
rived soon atterwnrd, followed shortly by
most of the counsel. Theodore Tilton
and Francis ID. MOultor came in to-
gcthcr, Immediately followed by cx-
Judges Fullerton and Morris. Mr..
Beecher and friends and Mrs Tilton and
friends had not arrived when court was
opened, and Moulton took the stand.
Mr.. Fvarts apologised for the absence
of cx-,Iudge Porter, who was unable to
come out owing to the severe weather.
Mr.. Shearman stated that they
had got the original charges as printed
in VoodhHt Il Uadin'S Weekly on Nov.
I'd, 1872, which he proposed to read.
Mr.. Shearman read n few clauses, when
ex-Judge Fullerton objected to thatpart Of
the article inculpating Tilton, Beecher
and Moulton. This article, the counsel
argued was only Il PRONUNCIATION of the
doctrine of Mrs. Woodruff, and he did
not see why it should be admitted in cyi-
deuce Mr. Beach. Of the same side, "a ID
if this article was read, it would raise side
issues, and the only object in reading it,
ne thought, was to introduce
accusations against the plaintiff,
and the witness on the stand. The
Court decided that the article should be-
read subject to his decision. Paragraph
by paragraph OF the portion relating to
Mrs. Woodhul'S views of marriage rela-
tions was ruled out, and the Court char.
acterized them rs "atrocious sentiments.
An exception was taken TO this ruling by
the defence. The pistol scene was read
and allowed to remain. The statement
in.regard to Theodore Tilton, that he was
No yestaI Virgin,
was ruled out; also the statement OF the
endeavors to get Beecher to preside ut
the Stcinway Hall meeting.
Mr.. Shrarman then said this was all he
had to read.
The cross-eXamination of Moulton was
then continued.
After recess Moulton was handed a
letter by General Tracy, he said; Saw
this letter in the latter part of December
1872, after the publication Of the letter to
complaining friend l think it was
left with me by Mr.. Tilton. The letter
was read by Mr.. sherman, and was
written to Moulton by Mrs. Tilton, de.
clsrinr she was innocent of the impure
crime imputed to her. and acknowledging
her faith in her husband; the letter was
offered in evidence; witness continued,
developing nothing new.

luton:

resolution, and this order shall

would throw open the doors Of the Treas
ury to anybody. Some opposition also

Navy Department In Flames.

WASHINGTON, January %. = The Navy
Department caught fire in the upper
story about half past II, this afternoon,
and is burning tiercely. 4 general alarm
has been sounded, and fire engines from
all directions are in service. The names
seem confined to the rooms just below
the roof but are making headway, and
fears are felt that the building will be
consumed. The rooms on fire are stored
generally with records, and are likely to
be destroyed. Rumors have ii that some
persons are in the upper story, and the
hremen are attempting their rescue. he
supply of water seems scarce. The WIND
is blowing a moderate breeze from the
northwest, in an opposite direction to the
War Department, which is next to tie
Navy Department buildings, and there
is little danger Of that department catch
ing on fire. The fire originated in the
east end of the main building.
Two O'CLOCK p. M.-The fire is still
burning in the Navy Department, but 1t
is believed the flames will be confined to
the upper rooms, where they originated.
No life was lost as feared earlier though
some employees and officers Of the navy
on duty in the building were in dang + of
sutiocation while attempting to remove
valuable records. The upper floors are
completely flooded with water, and many
of the records will be seriously damaged.
Nearly all the bureau officers and chiefs
Of divisions have made preparations for
removing the books and records from
their respective offices in the event of the
spread of the flames.

Fire Under Control.

The fire in the Navy Department is
completely under control, and an inves-
tgation shows that the building is rs
much damaged by water as flames. 1t
is thought the fire originated from de-
fective tlue. The room in which il was
first discovered was unoccupicd. Nearly
all the papers were destroyed but can be
replaced. The Secretary's otfc proper in
the wing of the main building was not
damaged, though every preparation was
made for removing the furniture and Off
cial papers.

Plans for Increasing the Revenue.

WASHINGTON, January 26.-The Sec
rctary of the Treasury this afternoon sent
to the Ways and Means Committee,
tabulated statements showing the in
creased amounts of revenue that could
be provided BY re-enacting the import
duty on tea and coffee; by repeal
ing the ten per contradiction on
sundry articles effected by the tariff act
of 1872, and by imposing various rates OF
duty on the number of articles which are
now on the free list. In regard to the
latter, Secretary Bristow makes no re-
Communications, but merely enumeratcs
IT large number of articles which are now
imported free, to an aggregate amount of
some forty million dollars per annum,
and from which the Committee may Sc
lect, with this detailed information now
before them, such rs can most properly,
IN their opinion, be made to contribute
to the custom revenue. The Secretary
also trans mitted To the committee sim
liar statistics and estimates prepared hv
the Commissioner of Internal RevenuS.
in regard to the increased revenue that
could be secured by adding to the tax on
whisky. 1t is generally believed that if
ANY increase is made, It will be to extend
it to ten cents per gallon.

House. GARDENING.-At this season the
Gala will DO growing vigorously, and will
need water more abundantly. A saucer of
water under the Gala is much relished by
this plant, 1t is sub.aquatic in its nature.
Other plants have saucers under them in
order to keep the water from dripping on
the floor but the water should not DO al.
lowed to stand in them. The Gala flower is
liable to the attacks of the green fly, as
indeed are many plants which grow in win
dows. There are many remedies which gar
deners use in greenhouses that are inapplica-
