THE CONFERENCE.
LoNpoN, March 9.-1t is considered here
as settled fact that conference of the
Powers will be held, and that it will meet
in Berlin. 1t is semi-officially stated that
France will send representative. 1t is
said that Prince Bismarck is strongly disin-
clined to preside over the Conference, but
that if there is anything to be gained in the
way of harmony by his so doing he will
yield his consent.
The announcement that the Government
had dispatched four more iron-clads to Be-
Ska Bay, .and had arranged for direct tele-
graphic communication with the feet, had
the effect to depress Consols somewhat
during the early part of yesterday, but they
fully recovered on the, announcement in the
House of Commons that arrangements for a
conference of the Powers was progressing,
and that Lord Lyons would represent Eng
land. The conference will probably meet
towards the end of this month or early in
April.

Miss Beerher ON Eternal Punish
nlent.
The Tribune says the views of Miss Cath
crime E. Beecher on any subject will COM
nand attention. but her assault of to-day on
the Calyinistic theory of eternal punish
ment will excite especial notice just at this
stage Of the controversy. Miss Beecher con-
tends that the Calvinistic system is repug-
nant to the Scriptures as we'll as contrary to
common sense and calls for a Calvinistic
reply.
Poisoned His Family.
Henry Schmidt, house-carpenter, who
resides with his family on the third floor of
the tenement-house, 81 Pitt street, was ar
rested on charge of having poisoned his
wife and daughter and his wife's mother by
mixing arsenic with the coffee which had
been prepared for dinner. The timely ar
rival of medical assistance saved the lives of
the wife and child, but the old lady, it is
feared can not survive. 1t appears that for
some time past Schmidt and his wife Barba-
ra have lived unhappily together,
and the former has been in the habit of
drinking freely. Schmidt coolly watched
the family drink the poison.

Female yigilantes.
From the Virginia City. Chronicle,

From the. Virginia City Chronicle,
1t is beginning to be suspected that a
sort of Vigilance Committee exists among
the married ladies of this city, the OBJ
ject of which is to keep husbands away
from gambling games. Night before
last one Of them walked into saloon
along e street, looked about for time,
and, without saying a word, went out.
She was probably skirmishing for the
main body. The masculine Vigilance
Committee of our town is known as
"6O1;" the feminine is therefore more
likely $780," When husband is spot
ted he is quietly marched away and
taken before the grand tribunal in. the
secret hall of the committee, where he is
hauled over the Goals. A man who was
thus marched away the other light says
he is not at liberty to tell all that hap
pened to him, but relates that while on
the march he was uddenly blindfM 1eo
and presently, when the bandage was re
moved from hisleyes, found himself in q
large room filled with masked women.
There he saw and heard things so fearful
that he will not forget them till his dy.

the vacancies in the board. Democrats had
made extraordinary efforts to capture the
negro vote. He saw Eliza Pinkstons when
she was brought into 4, the room BY two
horrible: It was about the seventh of
December when witness left Louisiana. He
had heard MIR. Ascher say that Judge Levisee
stated the election was a fraud, and if lie could
have 100000 he would give his vote to Tilden.
If witness was asked if the election in Louis
lana was fair, ne would 3. say IN no The sense
Nichols were elected He had heard of
n0}prosecution against parties charged with
committing the Pinkston outrage. He said
to Gov. Wells and Gen. Anderson that
the Tildon electors were chosen, but that
they might on fair consideration of the
question come to aadifferent conclusion.
Witness satisfied himself as to the perpetra-
ton OF the Pinkston outrage by inquiries, and
he supposed that the political parties, then,
by taking the same means Of inquiry that he
did, could have also satisfied themselves as to
it's perpetrators. He told Gov. Kellogg if
these things happened Illinois he would
bring the parties to punishment or he would
leavethe tate. He believed that the people
would have been satisfied with the Packard
government if they thought he had been fair
~ elected. After few unimportant questions,
Gov. Palmer's testimony was closed and the
committee adjourned till the 18th of August,
unless. sooner called together. ~ ~
