Smith's zomatla of soeterdsy, Tepolling the idon tlist eny judgments bud been paid by the Secrotary of the Treasury, excopt in compliance withs tho law, Ho citod the unanimons dccision of the Bupreme Court, to the effect that the receipt of & pardon_relioved tho claimant of all difliculties in regerd to their loyally, and wlencver tho ited States Goyernniont holds properiy which it hos forcibly scized, it holds it oaly as trusteo, and wust roefore it. Mr. SMITH did not ask the Ilouze to throw itself in the teeth of tho dceision of tho Supreme Court, bat if_tho Buprome Court wasof tho opinion that disloyal_clcimants, Jike Love, of Georgia, who was Confederalo Loan Comzis- sioncr, who had elready recovered €474,090, nad Lamat, of Savannah, were to bo pud, 1o sub- ‘mitted that at loast it shoald bo on tho report of theso judgments to Congress, 50 that Congress and tho country should know i¢.

There was, thorefore, no justification for ils seizure or withLolding payment from its ownera. Mr, SHELLABARGER said tho way of meof- ing the difficuliy was fo remit t{he Court of Claims fo the position which it orig- inally occupied, that of being really an ‘suditing commitice of Congess to audit the cluims presented fo Congrees.

It would not be oth: erwise binding on the Executive. o denied that the legislation which relieved tho Pacific Reilroad Commpanics was got throngh in & sur- Teptitions manner, & is charged by Mr. Randall: . HOLMAN declared that the scction ro- ferred to had been read in the House to-dsy for tho first time, and that the House had known nothing whatever about it. Everydollar withheld from the Treasury under it had been wrongfally withheld. Instead of ropealing it indirectly, it ehonld be repealed by s direct provision of law, blotting it out of the statute book a3 a measure which was never thero rightfally. Mr. BECK, whoso name had been mentionod in connection with the names of Dickey and Logan, 88 on_the Committes of Confersnco— through which the section referred to had be- come Iaw, eaid ho did not rocollect having signed the Conference yoport but be exoressed the opinion that the section complainod of was only carrying out the plain_provizioas of tha law or- genizing tho Pacific Dailrozd Compenies.

ILLINOIS. % Special Deapateh to The Chicago Tribune, DISSATISFACTION. €prIxcricLy, Jan, 11.—~The result of the Sea- atorial cancus gives eminent dissatisfaction so fer as the Coramittees ero concerned. With per- haps four excoptions, including Sanford on the Judiciery and Upton on Revigion, the eelections are remarkably weak. Tho result was contrary to all oxpeciation, and was tho product of com- Dinations, by which votes for President were swapped for votes for Chairmanships, It is not et all likely that eny of tho gentlomen, who eupported Mr. Earey will have cause to Togret chis election, for while bo will not mako 83 efiicient a presiding officor a8 would Mr. 8hort, he will bear tho hon- ors of the position with graco and modesty, and will not develop any strong opposition to him- gelf. He is regarded 08 eminently fair and equitable, and will undoubtedly endeaver to hold the balanuce even botwaen contendiug par- ties in the Semate. Beaides tho trading that was done to influence tho securing of places on tho Committoes, the Sonthern members were indneed to support Mr. Eerly, go_that their eec- tion of tho.State .might ciaim the next Governor; and' the marks of & prom- inont . gentleman, _spoken ' of eady in connoction with that- office, are vigiblo in tho rosults of- tho caucus. With re- rd to the Committee, Cook County fared bad- [y, the wealkor members of the delegation coming out best and the better members wosrt. The latter were not in the combination. Williamson at the head of Warehouses is considerod a weak selection, and Reynolds at the head of Insuranco ig uot in his_element. Tteynolds mado most of the nominations in the causus from a paper pre- pared and 2groed npon. Upton took no part in tho proceedings, eiply walking up and down, awaiting the recognition of his “conscious ability. Waite was offered Revision, but as ho_fought tho separation of that - from Judiciary e declined to accopt. Then ho was offered two or threo other placos, and finall deopped.fnto * Township Orgenization,” whi could moro approfriately have boen lEiveu o 8 country lawyer. ‘lhompson would like to_have Lad ¢ Municipalities,” but it was bestowed npon Canfield, who desires o amond the Incorpora- tion law, 60 as to compel tho Gity of Aurora to organize under it. His first choice, and the first choice of Judge Parks, who had becn working hero to get it for hir, would havebeen ** Judic- cial Circuit.” That was given to Palmer, a fair man, by all nccounts. Thompson was put off with_* Elections,"—an insignificent place, where his ability will- have no room to play, “Fecs and Selaries” was conferred upon Dow, but this session it will amount to very little. McGrath was offerod sevoral places, iucluding “Expanses of the Goneral Assembly,” all of which he doclined, until ‘‘Manufactories,”—a big word, -but meaning nothing in this connec- tion,—was pressed upon him. There he rests, and will rest, as he will have liitle or nothing lo do. Donohue was made Chairman of *'Rail- roads,” one of _tho mast rosponsible, if not the most responsible place, where a man can make & brillisnt success or . a dismal failare. Whiting wes the best mclection that could have been made for * Canals and Rivers,” as he lns: Flvan the subjoct of transportation considerabla study. Baldwin will probably take good cara of “**Educational ”’ matters, and Nich- olgon of “ Agricultural.” Sheldon, anold mem- ber of the Senate, and a mau of some sense on somo subjocts, waa badly slaughtered Dy being rologated to */ Federal® Relations” when his heart was sot upon ‘‘State Institutions,” as ho represcats Champaign and tha Agricultural University, his principal constituent. “Fi- nance ™" was conceded to Bhort by common - consent. Hampton lost his old honorable place on “Prinling," and was reduced to “Expenses” and ¢ Miscol- Ianoous,” two_small positions. Strong gob “Printing.” He iaan excellent gentleman in many respects, but probably never saw type set in hiy life. Eo opposes reporting, or did so in the last scssion. Burns was rowarded with ‘what he wanted—** Revonue.” His work will be his judge. g Taking them all round, the selections might easily have been more fortunate, nnd the trading and swapping that occurred in tho caucus bave 1nid tbe foundation of a bitter feeling on the part of many, which may seriously interfere with or retard logielation on particular subjects.

Sko was also charged with murder- Ing two of Lis children, but was only tried for the firgt crime. Besidea these sho was said to bavo poisoned two other husbands and numer- ons of th children. Tho trial occwTed in March, 1872, in Now . Hzyen, and ~ was noticeable among ‘poison trisls” for the very clear ~testimony of Professor Barker, of Yalo Colleze, who had examinod the remains of the three first-mentioned victims. His evidence was as conclusive 2§ cir- cumstantial evidenco could be, and thero was none of the donbt about the case which was brought up in the Wharton trial at Balti- more, and which ia always attempted to be thrown upon medical experte. The oaly ques- tion was a3 to the motive that could lead” a sane person tosuch s step. The trial resulted. in & vordict of murder in the_second degree, the jury uniting in comsidering ber gullty, but allowing tbat tho circumstantial natura of tho evidenco permitted of o ‘‘reasoncblo doubt,” and so did not call it of the first de- gres. Aftor she was found guilty she was sent to tho jail in New Haven, and sho will be taken from thence to tho Saperior Court to ro- coive hor sentenco somo diy this weok or next.

'At tho age of 17 sho joined the Methodist Church, and at a lovo- fesst thore mot Edward §. Struck, whom she subsequently married. Struck in timo became a policeman at Yorkville, ono of the guburbs of New York City. -Onc night there Wwas & row in o saloon on his beat, na dotective was killed.

Hero sho met one Dennis Hurlburt and married him, bat sho did not get along particu- Iarly satisfactorily to herself with him, and 4o she poisoned him. - Soon after his death she was told by a friend that thero was & man in Derby, named Loratio N.
