TilE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. Tho Oberley Commitice to *investigato” tho Governor and Senators hald a second confabula- tior, ouly two of tho membors being present. adered what they met for, wondered where tho other fellows were, wondered if they would find out anything, wondered if they 13n't go homo, and home they went until Hfonday, when the farce will be continned. Itis sirange, if 2 Governor or o Senator cannot op- proach aud sdvieo a high, mighty, and sublimo ntative without being “ investigated.” ir. Johnson, whose gorgo Tose on beiug sdvised, deserves tho sympethy of mapkind. So far pothing bas boen discovered {oimplicato any- body, cven in tendering good advico where it w25 Ladly needed. DoGS. The dogs were under discussion this morning, wheu the Agricultural Committee reported o pair of bills,full of deadly intentions to_tho canins raco. Tho first was to “regulato ™ dogs, s2d allow the collection of damages when_ thoy indulge their appetites for live mutton. This un- Gorwent & sccond roading. Tho eecond was_to allow auy one to kil on’ sight dogs wandering vom hotne, which wss Inid on the table, by 57 to 87, which was decided triumph for the doge. BATLROADS. The Committee on Federal Relations reported Jfavorebly tho resolution offered by Mlr. Ste: of McLean, roquesting Congress to submit to the people, an_amendment to the Constitution declaring railways “public highwaye, and au- orizing Congress to establieh and central intor- Btate or through rates of charges for ¢ho trans- ortation of porsons and property thereon, and :§eclmug the power of tho State Logislatures, rospectively, to establish and control local rates.’ Tt was msde the special order for Thursday nost. . LAKE FROST. Senators who have been unfriendly to tho re- . peal of the Lake Front act, are now prophesying hat 1t will pass the Sonate with only fivo or six . votes against it, and the case is assuming that Tealthy complexion, It+wasread a second timo in the Senate without obfection to-dsy. Mr. Pelmer is penitent for tho motion he made to cfer, ns it tended to placo him in & false atti- i d assoverates his intention to vote for the bill independent of Mr. Fort, who never “opened his bend to him on the subject, so he ays. Mr. Fort states he ie hereto holp the r Improverent bill, and is not ‘in tho least Jintorested in the Lake Front. He did speak to Eonators on that subject when spoken to, and 10 defend his voto for it. The more distinguished Iobbyists hava retired from the field, but are ox- octed L return reinforced. Mr. Jowett had to +Feave to attend s lawguit, and Mr, Wall has been | commander-in-chief in Lis absonce. Tho tug of wer will occur at na early day. The friends of repeal, baving drawn blood at_overy round, will advanto to_the final atteck with andiminiehed coarage. The chances of sictory aro entirely with them just now. The bill in the Houee pro- ~iding for investigation was made tho spacial order for Monday afiernoon. A STEAL KTLLED.

'This is en intimation that they purpose meeting this year again. THE CONGRESSIONAL SALARY GRAD. Tho Senate tool: up the House resolution, con- Gemning tho Congressmen from this State for Lelping themeelves to €5,000 ont of the Treas- . when it was moved fo lay on tho tablo and priat. Theroupon, Mr. Starno moved to amend oy efriking ont all afier tho word “resolted,” and inserting the following : p That witkout regard to_politics or party tirs, weo do amost emphatically place the eeal of o demnation upon our Scnators and Represe: ives in Congress from this State, wlo by their own votes increased their 550 per anaom, and took a bonns of cts already redered, and we further condemn the Tresidcnt of the United Sist for sign- 4cg the bill by which they were enabled to realize the Ioerensed p2y and his own salory increazed by §25,600. The smendment differs from tho original resolation Ly including tho President. ‘Doth were ordered to Le laid on the table, and printed. T o THE DISSECTION TILL. The bill appropriating the unkuown dead for the poses of disscction was ordered to & third reading in the Houve. Tho eame bill has been in several Legislatures, but never got so far be- fore. DISATLED FIREYEY, Scrator Kehoe, wko bas coustituted bhimself the good engel of disabled firemen, introduced 8 now bill, sn'ippomr] to bo an improvoment ou his former production, providing that tho fines im- posed on misbehaved polico and firemen, and zizes collected from the keepers of gambling- houses, and houses of ill-fame shall constitute & penion fund for firemen ‘hurt in battling with their merciless enemy. A DANGEROTUS DILL. The absurdity of Fupposiug that laws made to govern one part of the State are suitable to every other part, will bo exemplificd next Tuesdsy, in Chicago, when the voters of tho threo towns will have to congregate at ono place to vote for town officers, if they vote atsll. Thisis in all con- scienca bad enongh, butitis perfection com- pared with what could be done under Senate bill 193, for “*Anact to revise the law in relation to township organization,” if it should pass. Ar- ticle IV. of this precions bill, which cams info the Senste indorsed by the-Committes of which Senator Waite is Cheirman, provides that towns mey sue and be sued, which 1s all right, and may “acquiro by purchaso, gift, or deviso, and hold property, both real and personal, for the use of its inhabitants, and egain to sall and convey the same,"—in ehort, may go into the real estste businese—which is not all right. Fearing that authority would not work sufficiont iniquity, another” clauso provides that the town may “ mako all such contracta ns may be necessary in the exerciso of the ) of the town.” The electors prosent at tho annual town meatings,— the meotinga to be held on next Tuesdsy, for ivetance, which will probably bs composed of the rag-tag and bob-tail of the community,— besides, thess powers already enumorated ehall have power ‘““to make all orders for the. sale, conveyance, regulation, or Sse of its corporate property,” to sdopt sures “for the exerciso of their corporete ;" ‘ta direct the raising of money by T ing and ropairing roads and bridges; ““for prosecuting or defending suita by or againet the town ;" ** for any other purpose they may deem necessary.”” In short, at a town meeting, attended by ward-politicians, nn- Limited taxes could boimposed on the éntire population. There are enumeratod o number of other “purposcs' for which taxes might bo levied, but the unlimited power given n the foregoing clause embraces overything. Drovi- sion is mado for_special town micetings to com- pleto any mischief left unfinished at the annual | tovm meeting. 3 Tho passago of such a Jaw would cronto a new and irresponeible authority in ench of tho towns of West, North, and South Chicago, with powers equal to the Common Gouncil. oaxd of Al- dermen is bad enough, but what would becomo of tho peoplo wero they loft to tho morcy of a town meoting of “bummers,” who could imposo whatever taxcs they pleased ¢ Aud. yet this bill camo near pessing. It has been rocommiited, but may b reported back at any momont. In that case it is well to understand a fow of it in- iquities. COOR COUNTY COURT-HOUSE DONDS.

The Goodrich Murder=-Startiing De= velopmenis INcld in Reoserve by the Police-=George Francis Frain. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tyibune, Ncw Yong, March 29.—It is now certain that the Spanisrd, Pedro, is the man wanted by the Brooklyn polico for the assassination of Charles Goodrich, and that the woman Lucette Myers ig held only as & witness against him. Podro wus the acoepted lover of Lucetta until Goodrichap- peared on theecene. Goodrich scemsto hiave beon a torrible libertine. Lucetto, though far from 5 fascinating beauty, was naor, and did not re- quire much money. Sho received Goodrich with & favor that excited tho jealoia rago of Pedro. Tho tro'men met in Mrs. Myers' houso one night, and Pedro made an attack on Goodrich, who was ouly saved from s sovere beating by the intorferenco of tho camse of the trouble. This mach Chief of Police Campbell disclosed to the roporters, and Mra. ).Iyexs.' parenta spoak freely of the Spewiard, who visited their daughter vey ofton previous to March last. Thoy say, however, that they have not seen him since thoy moved from Sta- ton street. Tho girl, Knto Stoddard, whoso let- tors ore in possession of the police, was nover connected with tho murdor by them, and they have never ettomptod Lor capture. Shois now in this city. Goodrick: seduced her under promiso of marringo nearly four years ago, and sho had & child by him. 1fo hias poatponed the wedding- day ever sinco under one vretest or another, but hes continued to livo with her eecrotly. At longth he becamo ongaged to Miss Clom, and endesvored to shaka hor off, but had not moral courage to tel! her 'the roason. Sho discovered it, and upbraided him for hia deceit.

But a subsoquont lefter from her, sock- ing reconciliation, was fonnd by tho polico. This boro tho Istest ‘dato of auny of Ler lotters. Mrs. Mycrs mever wroto Goodrich any Ietters, e used her merely to gratify Lis pas- sions. Mr. W. W. Goodrich saw her ono morn- ing in his brother's house, and ho furnished the pelieo with information” rospocting er.

Bo saw her go into Good- rich's house, end. maddened with jenlos rago attempted to offect an entrance, but without siic- cess. - He wandered atound nnfil near morning, and finally concluded to try tho back way. A pone of glans wes brolem, and it was ensy, by tho aid of o knife, which was 'afterwards found hecked on the mautle- iccé to pry open tho buck bnsoment shut- era. Once {uside, it did not take him long to find Goodrich's bod-room. Tho eight of his mistrees ond rival in_ bed togother made Lim spring forvard with an oath, and enstch Goodrich's pietol, which Iy on the table bexide nim. Goodrich spravg’ from bod and flew down stairs with tho maddencd Bpaniard after him. Goodyich took refuge in the brsement, whoro Pedro shot him in tho Jeft eide of tho head. Tho un- fortunate man dropped, aud Pedro, going over to whero he Iny, emptiod two moro barrels into his hesd at closo range. [T0_the Associated Iress.)

Vice-President Wilson's Assistance to Office-Seekers. YWhat a Demoerat Says About Casserly’s Election. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, SENATOR CASSERLY. WasnixGroy, March 29.—Tho elaborate de- Tonso of Senator Caseerly, purporting to have been telegraphed by the Associated Pross from Ban Francisco, on tho alleged corruption con- nected with his election to the Sepate, was no printed horo on the dsy it appeared in tho jother nowepapers. The object of excluding is not kmown. The diepatch, howerer, attracted the at- tention of a prominent California Democrat, now here, who was a member of the Democratic State Central Committee of California, when Casserly was elected. Thie gentleman is a brother-in-law of Judge Dent. He says it is easy to expluin the failareof thoCalifornia Legislaturo to investigato the charges of corruption made by Volney How- ard against Casserls. In tho first place, Lio says, tho Legislaturo waa Democratic, and they did not like to investigate members of their own party.

Thoy wero checked ocensionally at open _places by tho Government artillery, but as the Carlists could follow bohind the Liils to points where they commanded tho highway, and could cut off the retreat and isolate a column of Bpanish troops, tho commander of tho Iattor did not ven- turs to rely on this advantage, but continued to retiro until supported Dy reinforcements from the garrison of Vich, whon tho_Carlists, in their turn, retired. Tho losses can only bo guossed ot, but they are much beavier than at any previous collision of the belligerents during tho war. Galceran was killed. . Ripoll, for which placo tlio supplies wero ine tended, 'bes sinco surrendered to tho Carlista, From Ripoll tle Carlists are now marching on Borga, an important stronghold filled wWith milifary stores. Borga is the koy to Catalonia, =nd was wa important point during tho thirty years' war. Tn view of the force advancing, the garrison will probably abandon tho placo. Since the appointuiens of Maldonado as com- mander in Navarro, Dorregary has cut the rail- road between Pampeluna and Villoria, blowing up three bridges. Pampeluns iy thus likely to becomo untenabio and fall into the hands of tho Carlists, who havo alreads seized the stores in the suburbs, .

New Yo, March 20.—A special from Havans, dated ths 26th, says that advices from Remodias report the desertion of a portion of the Cadiz battalion from the Spanish colors to the insur- gents. In a recent engagement on the other side of Rio Cazto, betwean Agramonte and Bpanish forces, the former took sixty prisoners and shot 59 of them. Ope was spared and sent back with a messago to the Spaniards, infcrmh;g them that, monarchists or republicans, they act with inhumanity to the insurgents, and that, therefore, the ingurgents would give no quarter. Agramonte recently returned Colmel Pracunell and several other prisonors to Puerto Principe. Novertheless, Rnbalcabs was executed in the latter city. Anothor version reports that Agramonte sent Prucunell and others in change for tho insurgent chief Emilio Luaces, who bad been ceptured by the Spanish troops, but his capture was not made pablic. # A gpecicl from Key West, Fla., says that it is surmised among tho Cubans that the removal of Gen.
