Payments in Confederate Currency.

The perplexing questions which arose out

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.


Among the important measures passed by
the legislature during the present week is
that appropriating SlS5,O00 for the erection
of an institution for the education of feeble
minded children The governor is to appoint
a commission of seven persons to select site
for the building and then to proceed to erect
it. As Ottawa is at least rs eligible as any
other city in the state as site for such a
building, ought not some steps be taken to
interview this committee, when appointed
Senator Hanes promptly introduced bill
! in the senate, on the announcement Of the dcci
sion in the Storey contempt case at Chicago
defining and limiting the powers of courts in
similar cases in future The bill was favor.
ably received and will probably become a
law.
The Csppcras Creek Cam bill, after being
defeated with an appropriation of $4,000
from the treasury to that work, was after
wards taken up and passed with the $4,000
stricken out, appropriating the canal tolls
only to the work.
Both houses have agreed to resolution to
adjourn sine die on the 18th inst, and mean
time the work of putting through the
necessary legislation goes on with vigor. The
house on Tuesday devoted itself almost ex.
clusively to acting on bills that had previ-
ously passed the senate, of which large mum.
Der were passed, including the principal ap-
preparation bills, and sent to the Governor.
A permanent committee Of five from each
house will probably be authorized to occupy
their leisure hours for the next year in ere
vising" the present revenue laws.
Gov. Beveridge Is Indignantly exercised
towards the house tor authorizing commit
tee to look into his disposition of the "contin.
gent fund" 1t appears the Governor used
$4,000 of the said fund to pay his own son
for clerk hire, while the Legislature had ap-
$4,000 besides for that object.
He also used $4,000 of the contingent fund in
furnishing the Governors mansion though
the legislature had appropriated 100000
specially to that object. Indeed the Cover

to him for clerk hire, but had also used up
most Of the contingent fund in paying pri-
vate expenses, such as buying railroad tick.
cts for himself and family, paying house ser
wants, hotel bills, &c, &c. The Governor
makes no other excuse than that Oglesby,
Yates, &c, had done the same thing.

LOOKS BAD-The FL Paso Journdl tells the
"awfullest" kind of hard story on Mr.
New, Grants newly appointly L. $. Treasur
er The substance Of it is, that he had de
bauched an innocent Indiana county girl
and had an operation for abortion performed
upon her. The girls guardian, Mr. kistlcr
followed the girl to Indianapolis and ascer
tanned all that had happened to her. He was
naturally indignant, and prepared state
ment of the facts for publication in the pa.
pers, duplicating Mr. New and his brother,
one DR.. New, in the crime. The News tried
10 browbeat Kistler into destroying his man
uscript, which ne steadily refused to do,
upon which they (beng both rich and pow.
erfuD got the grand jury to indict Mr.. Kister
for seducing his ward and actually had him
sent to the peni.entiary. Gov. Hendricks
was so well satisfied Of Kistlers innocence
that he offered to pardon HIM, but Kistler re.
fused to accept it, declaring that he never
committed any crime tina, needed pardoning

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

of plain words and they called "yictory' in
New Hampshire, were confident they would be
able to confirm their "theory" that the tics

ing decisive victory last Monday in Con
necticut Alas, however, for human expec-
tations! English, the democratic candidate
for Governor, was re- elected by 5000 major

ocrats elected three of the four congressman,
even defeating Hawley, the ablest and purest

Plated OUT.

The great senatorial excursion to Mexico,
about which the newspapers had SO much to
say for several weeks past, and which was to
sail in government steamer from New Or
leans last Saturday, ignobly tialted out. The
persons who intended to join in this grand
raid On Mexico were Senator Cameron and
wife of Pa, Dennis of Nd, Patterson of s. c.,
Thos A. Scott, lack Chandler, and about
twenty others As pretence for Secretary
Robson, in this gratuitous loan of a govern.
lists, the official organ at Washington was in.
structcd to frame the excuse that they were
going to Mexico "to see If the graves of the
soldiers killed in the Mexican war, are prop
erly cared for and having invented this pre-.
posterous fiction, the "organ" proceeded
grandiloquenty:
What patriot that does not wish them a
prosperous voyage, favorable winds, and a
safe return. The quiet mystery that has at.
attended their exit is now all explained
They well knew that from a grateful people
their reward was sure. No visit of pleasure
then is theirs. They g to seek those OF whom
the poet says:
"On Fame S eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn sound
The bivouac of the dead
Worthy patriots generous citizens, honored
senators on this mission, welcome, and fare
well!
The poetry was knocked out of the thing
however, very summarlly on Saturday when
the party at New Orleans received dispatch
from Robson, to the effect that, on account
OF the hullabaloo raised IN the newspapers
about his lending government steamer to
such purpose, he had concluded not to let
the party have the Dispatch, and Mr.. Gamer.
on and Tom Scott were asked to take their
party on regular steamer. Strange TO say,
this party, composed exclusively of such dis.
interested aud noble minded patriots, when
thus invited To pay the expense OF their Junk

and suddenly lost all interest in the graves
of the patriotic slam" in Mexico, and hearing
that there was a possibility that yellow fever
might prevail AT Vera Cruz on their arrival.
they at once abandoned the excursion. and
the party broke up and scattered. Cameron,
Chandler and others, learning that the Dis.
patch was ordered back TO Washington, deter.
mined to have free ride in her at least as far
as Washington; while others returned home
by rail, and only Tom Scott aud wife, Plumb,
Phelps, GOV. Brown and wife and other
Geurgians sailed on the steamship City of

BEECHER TRIAL.

The Beecher trial at Brooklyn reached its
climax of interest during the past week, with
Beecher himself on the witness stand. Either
Mr.. Beecher himself is doing some of the
heaviest swearing ever done in court of
justice, or good many others have done
such swearing. He meets with point blank
denial every material allegation made against
him either by Tilton, Moulton or Mrs Moul-
ton, and explains every suspicious cireum-
stance in way to leave himself wholly inno-
cent According to Beecher's narrative, Til.
ton believed in the truth of the charges he
made, and Beecher was well aware CT the
fact; and Beecher admits that Mrs. Tilton
had acquired strong affection for him but,
says Beecher, "if Mrs. Tilton did not know
that the tendrils of her affections were creep
ing upon me, l ought to have known it, He
then acknowledges that the condition and
action of Mrs. Tilton" proved that he had
"wronged" Tilton in his family relations,
though unintentionally. This certainly is a
more probable explanation of the quarrel
than the surmise that Tilton iaUeated the
charge as means of black mailing. He be-
lieved that he had been wronged; Mr.. Beech
er himself believed 1t; but they we're all mis-,
taken together.
That seems to be about the purport OF Mr.
Beecher's statement on that most important
head. 1t is manifest, however, as Beecher
proceeds, that his part all through is very
carefully studied, even to the extent of hav-
ing been frequently rehearsed with his law
yers, and 1t Is confidently predicted by the
opposite side that his story, which looks so
fair and plausible now, will be thoroughly
riddled and torn TO shreds on his crossexam-
nation

THE COLORADO BEETLE.

The British government, with view of pre-.
venting the inu oduction into Great Britain
of the " Colorado or misunderstanding beetle
in cargoes OF potatoes imported from the
United States, have, as precautionary meas
ure, directed the custom officers at the various
ports of the United Kingdom to examine care
fully all potatoes coming from the United
States and from Canada, whether brought as
merchandise or ships stores and to take care
that all particles of haulm or stalk, or of loose
soil which may be found with them, be DIES,
troyed by fire. Shippers of potatoes intended
either for use during the voyage or for i'm
portation into the United Kingdom will see
the necessity of guarding against the delay
and Inconvenience TO which they will be sub.
jccted in case any haulms or stalks or adher-
ing soil be shipped with the vegetables

There is reason to hope that the worst of
the potato bug pest, in this region at least, is
over with 1t was noticed that about the LIST
of July last the Colorado beetle in this region
suddenly and strangely disappeared While
the late potato crop last season was shortened
by the drought, no plants were injured in the
least by the beetle Nor did they re-appear,
as was their won't during the mild October
days, nor is any sign of them yet apparent
this spring. 1t is said they have been exter.
minated by another coleopterous insect re-
sembling the lady bug, but vastly more ro-
bust and sanguInary. Whether replacing the
old by the new pest would be a gaia, now.
