Confidence.

NEW YORK, March %. Washington des-
patch says Secretary Shermans conversation with
the Senate Finance Committee produced a strong
impression of confidence 10 the future, and its in
duence upon moderate silver men is veiy good.
There is genera, and growing disposition to lei
the Secretary have his way, and carry out his pol
icy, as he has so frankly and coulageously de-
clared it, and some OF the senators who have here
tofore pesred the repeal of the resumption act
say they are willing at least to wait, aud that
nothing ought to be done to interfere with
tie Secretary's plan.
There is no doubt thht Shcrman's course has
done very much TO restore confidence here and
create the belief that the country can resume spe
Gle payments and get its finances IN good order.
There are of course few extreme men who are
not well pleased, but who on the contrary are
very angry, but they cannot carry any Of their in
hation plans this season.

NEWCASTLE, March - Samuel Chambers and
George Collins, two negroes convicted OF outrag-
ing KATE Smith, near Middlet .wn, 10 August last.
were hung here to-day.
The woman was tramp and in company with
James Smith, alias Clegg, her alleged husband,
was tramping through the State.
Since the trial and conviction, Clegg made
confession declaring his testimony was false, and
the woman was not his wife but a common prosti-
tute, and that that the acts for which the men
were convicted, were committed with her con-
sent. On the strength of this and other evidence
tending to weaken the testimony vt the trial, pc
titions for pardon and others for a repreve were
made to the Governor, but without avail.
