Senator Caldwell Closes His Caso by Resigning His Seats Lively Debate on the Recon- sideration of Casey’s Confirmation. Inconsistency of New Hamp- shire Congressmen on the Salary Steal. The Clayton Case to Bo Proceeded With, 7 Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, CALDWELL'S BESIGNATION. ‘Wasmnoroy, March 24.—Tho commorcial valuo of tho word of a Sonator of the United Btatos does not rank so high in this locality as it did bofora tho days of Oredit Mobilior invostiga- tions ; novertheless, your correspondent was led Inst ovening to mako o statemeont on tho positive authority of Senator Caldwell, to tho offoct that all tho rumors with regard to hia resignation wore without foundation, and that thoy wero sob afloat by his malicious cnemies with & view to his injury, It will bo remembered that in tho easo of this gontloman, ho had seuch en oxnlted opinfon of official diguity that whon hio camo to mako a statemont bofore tho Committeo on Privileges and Elections as to tho ciroumstancos attending his elootion, ho re- fusod to bo sworn, but simply submitted his statomont on the houor of o Sonator. In denying tho rumors as to the resignation of Caldwell on Lis peremptory request, your correspondont whas under the impression that this statement was also mado on the honor of & Sonator. How much that honor amounted to may bo inferred from “the fauct that in less thon twen- ty-four hours of his assurance to the contrary, Caldwoll aroso in and tendored his rosignation, with o brief ex- planntion. This branch of the subject may bo dismiseed. Tho esuses which led to this resignn- tion dato baclk to the commencement of. the con- sidoration of Caldwell's cago by the Sonate, Since Pomeroy's downfall that worthy has boon n potent elemont against Qaldwoll, In the hopo that e might succced to tho vacancy. Pomeroy has worked quictly, and yet offectively to havo Caldwell expollod. Gov. Osborn, of Kanens, has also been hero for somo time, and his influenco Las been decidedly agaiust kooping Caldwoll in tho Genato; but the strongest olement, and the ono which has beon the most effective in its influenco upon Senators, has boen tho unanimity of the public press in dumnndqu Caldwoll's oxpulsion. Carpenter, in o opirit of bravado, during the do- livery of Lim speech at the outsot of tho discus- sion, ufluihl to mako light of tho clomeut, andy shaklug bis fat ot the roportors' pallery said that it but reprosonted tho clamors of tho’ howl- ing mob, Btill thoro nro some sonsitive Bona- tors who ara not to indifforent to public opinion, who did not dare to vote to retain this man in tho Benate, Tho two weoks' dobato, whilo it perhapa did not change a singlo individual con= viotion, mevertholoss brought the woak point in this case so prominently before the Puhllu that o largo number of tho Senators did not doro to go home and face their constituonts with a rocord favorablo to Caldwoll's rotenilon. This foct was brought to Unldwell's attontion lnst evening, but ho would not bollove it. After o cnnvasa this morning, howover, ho_fonnd that at loast elght votes on which ho had relied wero sure to go against him, oven on tho Morton resolution, A.mm:fi theso wero Jones, of N Patterson, of South Carolina; Forry, of Mic] Wright, of Towa, and Robertaon, of South Caro- lina. This information, which was obtalned through poersonal conversation with thoso Sona- tors, induced him to tender his resignation. It was foared in several quaiters that Gov. Osborne might nfioint Pomeroy to fill the vacanoy until the Legislature should assomblo noxt fall, but tho Govbrnor stated positively to-dny (hat he would have nothing to do with Pomeroy, and that ho would not mako any appointment until noxt December, and not then until he had con- sulted with the loading men of his State, It is suggeatod that the Governor has an ambition to fill the vacancy himself, CABEY'S CABE. The motion to reconsidor tho vote by which Collector Onsoy was confirmed, on Balurday, was callod up in the executive session of the Benate this afternoon, when another spioy dobate took place, which lasted about an hour. The recon- sidoration was refused, however, by tho closo mlzlsoritsv of two votes. ‘he Senato bas elected to procoed with the Olayton case tho presont sossion, Tho final dis- oultion. of the samo may bo easily predicted, oth from the report of the Committeo and tho votaby whichthe cnsowas tekenup to-day. Load- ing Benators aro of the opinion that the debato may last two or three days, and that Clayton will be completoly exonorated. An cloment tlhat onters into the case is tho fact that Arkonses has a Democeratic Legislature, and if Clayton fs turned out ho will be succesdod by & Democrat. It is anticipated that tho voto in this caso will bo strictly partisan. Those who have carefully and impartially read the ovidenco say that tho only distinotion botweenCaldwell and Clayton is, that while tho former }mld money for votes, tho latter traded and bargeined ofiicos with tho morn- bors of tho Legislature for their suftrages. BOUTIHERN APPOINTMENTS, The Admiuistration organ hero to-morrow will officinlly sunounce, first, thet tho Presidont intends to malke no n{)pohlkment in tho South excopt from native Nepublicans, and, second, that no ohanges will bo made of presont incum- bouts, gavo through incompotoncy, or inofll- cienoy, or maludministration of official dutios, Special Dispateh to The Chicago T'ribune, * CONGIEYSIONAL EXTRA PAY. New Yonr, March 24— Washington specinl gnys: Up to tho prosont timo anly ono-half of the members of Cougross huvo drawn tholr oxtra pay. The Inconsistoncy oxhibited by —many reprosentatives is woll illustrated in the ongy of threo Now Hampshire membors,— Hibbard, Boll, and Parker—all Democrals. Thoso gontlomen voted sgainst tho incroasa of ealary and oxtra €5,000, aud roturned to their homos swidst tho eloction contest, involving the question of their own return to the Forty- min‘il Congress, and considerable enapital for themselves by praclaiming their opposition to ¢ the-incroage-of-tho-salary " bill, As soon as tho eleotion was avor, Hibbard, who was not re- turnod to _Congress, oud Parler, who way, Immedintely wrote hero and drow tholr 85,000 oxtra pay. Mr. Doll, whote clection is still involved in doubt, has not applied for his extra pay, As yot, not one of tho membors of Congross from Connecticut during tho lnst session has rpplied for tho oxtra.

OALDWELL'S RESIGONATION, The resignation of Sonator Caldwoll was oc- casioned by the knowledge that many Republi- con Bonatora would voto for Mr. Forry's rasolu- tion of oxpulsion, though it is not certnin tho necessary two-thirda vote would have boen se- cured therofor.

This 18 part of the programmo of ~tho uthoritles to Iioop tho facts from the polico as muoh as possi- Dble. It is genorally belioved that tha dotectives ero holding back for tho offer of a reward, the dond man's relatives being rich. From all that can bo learned thoro soems now no doubt that Mr. Goodrich was murdered by his dis- corded mistress, It sooms that ho four yonrs ogo soduced o young woman of respoctable connegtions, under promise of marringe. Sho bore him a child, and the liason had been continued up to the time of bis death. Many porsons havo soon her ontoring and leay- ing tho house in DoGraw atrcet, and sitting on tho staop besido him in tho summer. Recently Mr. Goodrich_hus been psying his nddresses to & young lady named Mies Clem, residlnfi on ~Forty-nin streot, in this city, on thoy wero ougaged to bo married. Noturally he endeavored to rid himself of the other young woman, but mado tho at- tempt probably without in{omlnfi her of his foithlessness, She discovered it, however, and oharged him with it, and it is supposed he denied it. Ao satisfy hor ho went through & mock mar- ringo porformance, but «he became aware of his daceit also, soon nfter, and violont quarrels on- suod. At longth goadod to madnoss she slot him with his own pistol when his bock was_turned, twico in the loft side of tho hend, and, a8 he swung around, onco in tho right side and once across tho forehond. Ho foll on the hearthstono. Thon realizing what shio had done, she washed the blood off hi face, arranged tho body cn\"e[u!li to give tho iden of suicide, toolk his watch aud mouey for prosent necessitios, and fied. It is cortain Goodrich was killed on Friday morning, A light was scen in the second story about 12 o'clock on tho previous night,” and tho suspected womun was in the house the provious aftornoon.
