AFFAIRS in NEW ORLEANS.
Rumors Of Attempted Bribery.
The Matter Investigated.

New York, January Is. Anew Orleans special
to the Times says yesterday, Mr.. Lowell, member
Of the Assembly, startled his colleagues by an
nouncing that that the democrats were engaged
in determined effort to buy members Of the re-
publican House to leave New Orleans, and thus
break the existing quorum. He said that three
members had been offered 81 600 each to leave
the city in "a hours, and he moved that a commit
tee be appointed to investigate the matter. This
was done.
Subsequently the committee visited police
magistl ate and lodged complaint of bribery
against J. II. Levy, who was the democratic clerk
of the returning board. Mr.. Levy was at once
arrested and released on his own recognizancc.-
He stated that he had jokingly offered a negro
member, named Murrell, 81 900 to leave the city.
Murrell ft once accepted, and said he would get
representatives Milton, James, Southwark and
Sutton to go with him.
Levy agreed to pay them the price, and made
an appointment to meet them. The members
called, but he failed to them, and they stated
that an attempt had been made TO bride them
The affair excites but little attention.
The democratic members have decided to re-
main passive until the report of the investigating
committee is presented to Congress.

Leader.
London, January Is. Mr.. Gladstone withdraw
ing leader of the liberal party writes Earl Gran
vile "The time has arrived when | ought to re-
vert to my letter of March last After reviewing
number of public and private advantages in my
considerations, Mr.. Gladstone says: 81 see no
public advantage in continuing to act as leader
of the liberal party. After fortytwo years of la
borious public life, think myself entitled to re-
tire with the present opportunity. This retire.
ment is dictated by personal views regarding the
method of spending the closing years Of my life.
My conduct in Parliament will continue to be gov
erned on the same principles as hitherto, and ar
engagements for the treatment Of general business,
and to advance the convenience of the liberal party
will have my cordial support"
Earl Granville replied II have communicated
in detail the reasons for which, profoundly re-
greet aud deprecate your decision. My late col
league fully agrees in this regret at the failure of
the endeavors to dissuade you from your purpose,
and doubtless the liberal party also concur with US
in the observations we addressed you, prompted
by considerations of public advantage and not
mercy by sense of your service and our admir-
alton and attachment"

vent the publishing of Bacon's letter as | had
promised Beecher. Saw him and told him | went
TO the Golden Age office after the letter had been
written and found that the paper had gone to
press. | told Beechcr that procured the word
"otience to be inserted in the letter. in tplace of
the words "a revolving crime" which were first
in the letter. do not remember if any other al
terations we're made in the letter. Beecher SAID
the Bacon letter was "a dead shot. This was on
the occasion when Beecher asked me what was to
be done. | recommen ded the same course as was
pursued in the Woodruff publication. Silence.
Beecher asked me for a copy of it which gave

it public,' and he said ''you advised silence which
course observed" had a subsequent converse
ton with Beecher about it and told him saw Gen.
Tracy about it and asked him if he had submitted
it to Tracy, and he said Beecher had.
Counsel read the card published by Beecher af-
ter the publication of the Bacon letter, saying that
lie had committed no crime against Tiiton, but
would resign if the church thought it necessary.
Witness continued. Mr.. Tracey's connection

publication, in the autumn of 1871. My partner,
Mr. Woodruff came to me- and saying that was

yersy, should make some statement explaining
my position in the matter. | said this to Beecher,
and told him they also criticized the firm besides,
told him that the firm recommended that should
engage counsel, and asked him which was best.
He recommended Tracy cool shrewd man.

the interview between Woodruff, Tracy and my
SELF and Tracy was told of the criminal inter
course between Beechcr and Mrs. Tilton, and
Tracy said that this should be hushed. He said
he would not advise lying, but this was case in
which it might be used. That l had laid before

No use of any longer taking the large. repul.
sve, gripping, drastic and nauseous pills, composed
of crude and bulky ingredients, and put up in
cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes, when we cam
by careful application of chemical science, ex-
tract all the cathratic and other medicinal proper
ties from the most valuable roots and herbs, and
concentrate them into minute granule, scarcely
larger than mustard seed, that can be readily
swallowed by those of the most sensitive stomachs
and fastidious tastes. Each Of DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets represents, in q most
concentrated form, as much cathartic power as is
embodied in any of the large pills found for sale
in the drug stores. From their wonderful cathar-
tic power, in proportion to their size, people who
have not tried them are apt to suppose that they
are harsh drastic in effect but such is not at all
the case, the different medicinal principals of
which they are composed being so harmonzed,
one by the others, as to produce most searching
and thorough yet gently and kindly operating
catha:tic. The Pellets sold by dealers in med
