TO BE LlMlTED-A TIMELY WARNlNG.-[Spe-
cial dispatch to the Gazette. J. Washington,
February 2S.-The editorial IN last Wednes.
days Gazette on the force.act in Maryland
has been read by nearly every Democratic
member in the House, and the warning has
not been without effect. 1t is in the power
Of the Appropriation Committee, and the
matter is now under consideration whether
the appropriations for running the courts
shall be limited TO ordinary proceedings,
and restrict the marshals in their expenses
so as to prevent the Use of Federal troops in
the southern States during the presidential
campaign. This or an amendment to the
force-act will be made, and should the Sen.
ate refuse to pass the House measure the
Democrats are ready to make deadlock
both in the appropriations for the support Of
the army and for running the courts.

MoULToN VS.. BEEcHER.-Ne,o York, Feb
ruary 28.-Tbe argument on the demurrer
in the case of Mouten uS. Beecher begun
shortly after noon to-day, in the Brooklyn
Supreme Court, before Judge Dykeman.
Generals Butler and Roger A. Pryor APP
peared for Moulton, and Messrs. Sherman
and Abbott appeared for Rev. Henry Ward
B@echer. The question is to determine whe-
ther, after the district attorney has entered
= nolle prosequt in the case against MouItoH,
the latter has a right to bring case against
Beecher for malicious prosecution. Mr..
Shearmsn opened with brief review OF the
proceedings which led to the action, and
spoke of the great trouble and annoyance
which would be caused If the door should
be opened to every person against whom the
grand jury might take action, allowing them
to turn and sue parties who furnished por-
ton Of the information. He insisted that the
entering of noile proSequi was virtual
ending OF the case. The argument is still
progressing.
Neu York, February 2S.-General Pryor
made strong argument on legal points.
General Butler followed, contending that the
demurrer should not be sustained. Mr.. Aus
tin Abbott followed for Mr.. Beecher; and
the Court took the papers.

END OF Tub LOUISIANA IMPEACHMENT CASE
The Senate at once organized as court OF
Impeachment Chief-Justice Labelling pre-.
sidng-snd adopted an order requiring the
House TO present their charges and their
testimony at L. NJ. AS the secretary OF
the Senate reached the door of the House
with this order the House adjourned until
Wednesday, March 1st.
On r,asscmbing the Senate passed pre-
amble ending
Whereas we believe said w. P. Kellogg,
Governor Of the State of Louisiana, TO be
innocent OF any criminal act or Of any high
crime or misdemeanor: and whereas the
resolution adopted by the House Of Repre-
seutatives reciteS no specific grounds Of i'm
peaehment against said W. z. Kellogg; and
whereas the House Of Representatives has
failed TO appear and present any SPECIFIC
charges or accusations against said William
L. Kellogg, Governor, notwithstanding the
House has had full and sufficient time for
said purpose;
1t IS ordered by the Senate, sitting az q
court of Impeachment, that the lmpeaca-
ment presented By the House Of Representa-
tiveS be dismissed, by reason Of failure OF
said House TO prosecute the same, and this
order has the same force and effect as judg.
ment of acquitlal.
The reader will notice that the House hay.
ing adjourned, could not prosecute the i'm
parchment that night.
a vote was called for on the adoption OF
this preamble and order. AS the vote was
being taken the committee Of five appointed
by the Speaker appeared and presented an
authorization from the Speaker to act as
managers. The point was raised and sus.
tanned after an excited protest from Mr.
Wilt that the Speaker had not the right to
appoint managers after the adjournment o.
the House.
Toe order Of acquittal was finally adopted
by the Senate by the following vote: Yeas

house, has been In the city to-day soliciting
funds for the benefit OF the Presbyterian
church at Burkeville. I learn that he was
quite successful.
The collections of internal revenue for the
month Of February amounted to S61 ,709. As.
NJ. j. Kennedy, who took out license
some days ago for gift enterprise of some
sort, had the same revoked by the Mayor
to-day on the ground Of having exceeded
the privileges OF the license and converted II
into regular lottery business of rather
dubious character.
Mr.. T. I. Brooks, late president of the
Merchants National Bank OF this city, re.
turned home to-day, after undergoing inn
prisonmeDt at Albany, New York. for fit.
teen months, under conviction of embezzie-
ment of the funds of that institution. he
was cordially received by his friends here.
Mr.. Brooks will probably re main in the city,
and may eventually enter into business here.
The following is resume Of local statistics
for the month Of February: Forty-seven
deeds were entered of record. There were
ten marriage licenses-siX 10 white and four
to colored couples. 1t is rather in contra
diction of the usual popular idea on the sub.
ject of marriages in winter that the first of
these licenses was issued on the 9th of the
month. The collection of taxes for the
month amounted to sos for the State, and
Sl,56O.93 for the city. The large amount
paid into the State is due to the payment on
their premiums by the insurance agencies.
The English sparrows turned loose By
the Mayor on the lawn have increased to
such a multitude from the original four that
they are now to be seen in all parts of the
city.
Fifty-two cases were brought before the
Mayor during February-fo rty-o for
breaches of the peace, four for felony. one
for misdemeanor, five for petit larceny, and
one for violation Of city ordinances. The
collections for fines amounted to $4,000.
