INFORMATION received at the State de-
partment, at Washington, from Peru
cOntradicts, in the most positive way,
Mrs. Christiancy's statement of what Oc-
CURED there between herself and her
husband. The information does not
come from Mr.. Christiancy, directly or
indirectly, but from residents of Peru,
some of whom know the family by repu-
tatiOn. and chiefly because of what they
term Mrs. Christiancy's scaDdalOus con-
duct, which was such that her husband
was compelled to send her away. These
gentlemen say that if Mrs. Christiancy's
statements of his striking her are true
he had plenty of prOvocatiOn.
REPRESENTATIVE TOwNSHEND, of ILL
nOis, last week undertook to have refer
red to the committee on the Revision of
Laws matters pertaining to the tariff,
contrary to the rule adopted requiring
such measures to be referred to the COM
mittee on Ways and Means. This move
was made in the interest of the free
traders, and knowing its reference to
the Ways and Means committee would
be its death, TOwnshend attempted to
smuggle it through and have it referred
to the first named committee. 1t was a
failure, however, and Mr., T0wnshend
was taken to task for the underhand
manner he devised for plain violation
Of the regular rules of the House, a
number of his Democratic friends join
ing with the Republicans in cOndemning
him for the deception.
