paper representative did not call either to Mrs.
filtOn, Mr.. Ovington or herself Therefore they
took their flight to Rchfed, Conn.,, passing under
assumed names, Mrs. Ovington announcing herself
as Mrs. Lewis-her maiden name and Mrs. Titon as
Mrs. Richards. They had some amusing adventures
during their trip the recital of which was heard
with relish by the audience. At Richheld the
Ovington party heard that reporter was there,
AID consequently fed to Fairfield. where Mr.. Wal
lace Caldwell, who accompanied them, accidentally
introduced Mrs Ovington to several persons by her
right name. At Washington, Conn. tho travellers
met friends, and therefore obliged to re-
sumo their own names.
Considerable alarm and CONSERVATION were caused
during recess by the report-afterward confirmed
that Theodore Tusch, reporter of The Brooklyn
Eagle, who had been in regular attendance at the
courtroom for several weeks, had been attacked
with smallpox in a severe form, and that he had
contracted the disease from some one IN the trial
room.
While Mrs. Putnam was giving her testimony-at
90 minutes before 4 o'clock-thc seventh juryman,
VIM B. Jeffreys, became faint suddenly, and was
conducted to open window, the occurrence caus-
ing immediate cessation of the examination. Mr.
Jefreys soon recovered, but 1t decided not to
continue the session, as second attack might be
more severe than the first. The air in the court
room is always bad 1t unusually close and de-
pressing yesterday. as it impossible to open the
windows on account of the snow-stOrm and the
wind.
Mrs. Beecher seemed to be exceedingly Ill yester-
day. and her presence in the courtroom apparently
was attended by great suffering. She was warmly
wrapped in heavy shawls. and o thick white
cloud" was wound about her head and almost
covered her face. She had frequent coughing
spells, and was an object of sympathy to all who
observed her. Among others present yesterday was
the Rev. Charles Z. Lord, d. D.. and on the bench
with Judge Nelson were p. V. Darden, Minister
from Guatemala. Salvador. and Honduras; Samuel
Nelson White of New-York and Alderman TrOw-
bridge of Brooklyn.

The direct examination of Mrs. Edward j. Owing
ton was continued yesterday morning. Her story
was a pathetic one. and held the interest of the
audience all day. She testified that Mrs. Tilton ex-
uressly denied that Mr. Beecher had ever committed
any impropriety in her presence. Mrs. Ovington
also testified that Mr. Tracy did not dictate to Mrs.
Tlton what she to say before the Investigating
Committee. The events of the morning on which
Mrs. Titon left her husbands house were given in
detail. Mrs Sarah Z. ID. Putnam of Marietta, ONO,
was called as witness, but her examination by Mr.
Shearman was interrupted by the temporary illness
OF member Of the jury.

CONGRESS.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, January ia reso-
luton was passed calling for Major
Merrill's report of the Coushatta affair.
The major, on one hand, was denounc-
ed as ruffian, and Oh the other de-
Tended as rough soldier.
The assassination of Grant was dis
cussed with much laughter, and threats
to clear the galleries.
MIR. Shurz spoke to the resolution In
structing the judiciary committee TO
report what legislation Is necessary to
secure republican form OF govern
ment to the people Of Louisiana.
Mr.. Schurz, in speaking of the Lou
isiana troubles, said he approached the
subject In no party spirit. About to re-
tire to private life, the success of no
party would benefit him nor the defeat
of any injnre him. The subject now
before the senate was so great that pas
sion or prejudice should find no place
in the breasts of senators in discussing
it. He did not think the debate CT last
week premature or in advance Of the
facts. All the important facts of the
case were in the possession of the sen-
ate.
He then reviewed the scenes in Lou
isiana on Monday last attending the
organization Of the legislature, the
