1 Trescost's Instructions-Their PubIica- tion An Alleged Breach of Faith Btecher's Sentiments on the Chinese Bin-Cabinet Rumors-Other Matters of Interest.
 l WASHINGTON, March 29.-Referring to Trescott's complaints of premature publication of his correspondence the Post of tomorrow will say editorially: "A gentleman entirely familiar with the Peru l Chilan controversy, and who takes great ! interest in South American affairs, declares ! that the instructions to Prescott were made public against the most earnest and repeated protestests of Mir. Blaine, that the President had promised Blaine that the instructions should not be made public and afterward yielded to MT. Frelinghuysen's demand for their publication, that Blaine told the Presi- dent that their premature publication would lead to the failure of the mission and that Trescotts last request before leaving was that no communication to or from him should be given to the press until his return from South America Hence Trescott's complaint to Frelinghuysen for violating the under standing under which he set out upon his mission. It is highly probable that the whole subject will be investigated by the House
 Committee on Foreign Affairs" There is an impression that Blame is the gentleman re- ferred to.
 Rev. II. w. Beecher lectured to an inn
 mense audience of Congregationalists this evening. In the course of his lecture he
 characterized the Chinese bill as contrary to
 all the principles of our much boasted gov
 ernment. It was the creation of Irish hatred of Chinese economy and the hobby of selfish
 politicians, none other than whom could
 support it. Statesmen who endorsed such
 measure were unworthy such a name There
 were many CongreSsmen in the audience.
 The applause hearty and thrice applied
 after the above expression.
 The President is deluged with advice per, sonally and by mail as to his duty on the Chinese bill, but will not take any action be- fore the Cabinet meeting on Friday. The Pacific coast members are confident that he
 will sign it.
 The general impression is that the names
 of Teller and Chandler will be sent in early
 next week.
 Richard T. Merrick, prominent counsel for Hidden before the electoral commission, has
 been retained in place of MT. Brewster, who,
 however, as Attorney General will take part in the Star route cases.
 Postmaster General Howe has recommend
 ed to the House Appropriations committee
 that postmasters of the fourth class be al-
 lowed to act as disbursing officers under cer-
 tam restrictions. This will save money in
 printing and signing of warrants.
 After two days trial Charles Shaw (cel-
 ored) was this afternoon found guilty of murdering his sister near Oxen Run, in this
 District, in September last. Sentence was suspended.
 The Mrs. Mason fund amounts to nearly & ,OOO. She is out in card of thanks and says where further donations may be sent. Representative Blacks physicians say that
 their patient is somewhat improved and say
 that now while there are some hopes of re- covery his disease is of such character that he will be wholly crippled in the lower limbs.
