A Scene OF Great Confusion and Up
took place in which the principal actor
was Mr.. Luttrell, who called for the read
ing of the affidavit, and then when it
was partly read sought to stop the reading
that he might occupy the remainder
of his five minutes / speech.
Several Republicans insisted that the
papers should be read, and Mr.. Luttrell
asserted that the other side was trying to
stife free speech
AT length Mr.. G. +. Hosr intertercd
on behalf of Mr.. Luttrell, claiming that
he had Il right to suspend the reading
Of the paper and proceed with his re-
marks.
Cnder the ruling of the chair to that
effect, the disorder gradually lessened,
and the committee drifted away from
the Alabama episode and proceeded with
the consideration of the bill.
The committee after disposing Of nine
out of siXty-eight pages OF the bill rose.

nation, took exception to Mr.. Eldridge
having had printed in the Record Il per-

mark: IL do not want to hear from the

Cost OfCaDle Messages.

NEW YORK, February 24.-President
Orton, Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, has received telegram from
the London manager of the Anglo
American Cable Company, saying that
from May lst, the tariff on messages from
New York to the United Kingdom and
France will be fifty cents, gold, per
word. and that the company's system Of
charging for messages will be extended
to other coutries, European and else
where.
THE course of Mr.. Tracy, argument
was that the whole trouble arose from
Tiltons excessive vanity, egotism and
loose morality. That he himself was
guilty of the very crime OF which he
now accused Bccchor. and he brought
his charges because he was jealous of
Bcechcr; considered himself his equal if
not superior, and desired to break him
down. He alluded to Tilton's free love
tendencies and loosenc>s in religious
ideas. and went on to show that his vile
ness and hatred Of Bcccher was - great.
that he was willing 10 sacrifice his wife
and children, and even himself to deS-
troy the man who had proven himself to
be- his best friend
