C., July 11.—The question of Interproting the meaning of the laws recently passed affecting certain balances in the Treas- ury, which was referred by Gen. Ratherford, Third Auditor, to the Second Comptroller, has not aa yet Loon definitely acted on. The Comp- troller, o8 stated in former dispatch, found the Iaws eo utterly incomprehousible that he was in great doubt s to the propor ruling to mske, but has mow drawn up & brief of his views and submitted them in consultation to the First Ccmptroller, Judge Taylor. That officer finds himself in the same predicament with Dr. Broadhead, and both have decided to lot the matter rest until Secretary Bristow returns, and consult with him, eo that fature complications may be avoided in tho con- struction of the laws which may be adopted.

RUMORED RESIGNATION OF VICE-PRESIDENT WILSON. WasiIsaTox, July 11.—The National Republi- can learns from a leading Republican Senator. who has bad o recent conversaticn with Vice- President Wilson, that his (Wilton's) resignation will scon be made pubiic, ill health being the caure of this extraordinary and uuexpected step. TIE RUMOR CONTRADICTED. Dostox, July 11.—The report from Washing- ton of tho intended rerignation of Vice-Prosi- dent Wilzon has o foundution in fact. The Vice-Piesideut’s herlth is botter than it hasever been since his illners. THE TAX-PAYERS' ASSOCIATION. The Tax-Payers’ Associntion of this District has adopted a plen of organization, which pro- vides for tho appoiutment of a committes of seventr to guard their interests generalis, aod to prosecuta in the criminal and civil court such officers of the late District Government as havo acted illegally in the collcction nnd expenditure of money, aud for other acts performed by them in disregard of law. ST. LOUIS' FIZZLE. The Contractor for the Fire.Works 1o Sue fos His Money—~Rucy Develop- ments Anticipateds Speciat Dispateh to The Chicann Tribune. 81. Loois, July 1L—The fire-works fizzle on the bridge on tho night of the Fourth con- tinues to be the absorbing topic of convorsation hete. Despairing of baving au amicable set- tlement of the dollar ood cent ques- tion with the Committee on Fire-Works, Mr. Juddy bas ipstructed his counsel to prepare the papers and bring suit. If the case ever comes to trial, Mr. Juddy, 85 a business man of St. Louis, aad all of the Committee, will no doubt regret it. But attacks have been made upon his character as business man, sud an effort has been made to push him to the wall, and pow he insists that iie is going to fight 1t out. WMt is a curious fact that very littlo of tho pressure agamnst Mr. Juddy bus come from certain members of the Cotmitice, aud all of it from others. The rea- son for the divieion into aggressive and defeuive clements will come out shortly. It is clsimed that when the truch, the wholo truth, and noth- 1ng but the truth, comes to the surface some of tho geutlemen who have been indulgiog in prrotechnic speechas reflecting on the character of Mr. Juddy will be surprised that thoir fiery outbursts of cioguence iu bebaif of sn injured and iosulted public did not take with all the Committce. It is whisperad, with all the other bad business, that 5 per cent of tho contract was togo to parties whose names must inevitably come out in the trial of the case, if it ever gets into court. The bandliug of ihe litie browu-covered books by members of tho Fiusnce Committeo—those little Llauk-beoks which were so rendily put ioto breast-pockets and sent all over the city for namea and dollars—reveals tho fact that many little $10 spots in them are marked vacaus for the want of the cash prom- ised or taken for gianted. In the firat outburst many found it convenient to say * pnt me down for 310.” when tho thing was statted towards 210,000 diwplay. and found it equally easy Lo saddle the refasal to fork over on the fizzie of the night of the 4th. These littlo vacant spots sre so mony expressions of disgust or impecu- piousness, sud the sggregate of them makcs quito a sum. The sum on hand, about $4,500, will pay all the bill, howover, and perbaps leave 2 litcle balance, with tho proviso that the courts decide agaiust MIr. Judds. If ho wins, and but ferw doubt it, there will be nced of the $10 va- cant spots. OBITUARY. Gov. Caldwell of North Carolina. Ravetm, N. C. July 1L.—Gos.

Tilton Considers that the Jury Is Packed. And Hence Declines to Testify to All He Knows, Precipitate Denials of the Unspoken Charge. Beecher Said to Have Ante-Dated His First Letter.

NEW Yomx, July 11.—Notbing new which can be devended on 8s truth has been developed in the Beecher investigation to-day. All that can be learned of its doings was telographed you last mght. The Examining Committee congists of only six persons, and these are particularly circumspect. as ony information which might be given could ensily be traced to the one giving it. 1t is only known positively that six or eight meetings in all have beon held at various places. a single member of the Examiving Committes only sometimes sitting ; that Tilton hss been examined but}has given little information ; that Beecher has not yet testified. and that Mrs. Woodhull, 3Irs. Hooker, Mrs. Stanton, and otner zctive circulators of tho- scandal have not yet sppearcd for examination. The inquiry may continue for two weeks to come, TILTON WAS EXAMINED by District-Attorney Winslow, ove of the Com- mittee, He was accompsnied by Lus lawyer, D. Morris, and acted under his advice, with some resorvation, on the ground that the Committes wis packed, that tho ivesti- gation was intended to whitewash Beccher, aud that the final report might counsel him to resort to_the civil cour:s. The Eagle ays that Tilton wasasked to tell alt he kaew. ~ He eaid he had no desire to injure Ar. Beecher : that he DID NOT MEAY TO TELL ANY MOKE than was necesary for his own _vindication, and he supposed bie had done that already; that he could tell somo things grestly to ilr. Beecher's injury, but said that for the present he must de- chine to 8peak in detail. Fiom the same source, the Eagle, you will probably got newa that Mrs. Tilton testifled also that ane said that wien Tilton became infatuated with Woodbull she told Beecher, and he advised her to leave her bLusband; that after Tiiton returned to her, reformed, she told him what Beecber had done, and Tilton in rage ac- cused Beecher, who wrote the famous letter of apology. There is no truth in this statement and thoory, it being a mere invention of the Eagle. The fictions of this paver and 1ts strong defense of Beecher HAVZ DONE THE LATTER GREATER INJURY than any publications of his worst foes. The editor of the Eajle is under heavy bonds for the oifense whidh Beecher has been charzed with, and his prineipal editorial _writer bLns latoly been badly exposed. The advocacy of this gort of cousee injures Beecher, aud Lolps Tiiton, if anything can help hint. 7ilton's caatacter is not admired, and some of his associates like Woodbull are so disreputable that his msinuations carry litcle weight where he is best known. Heis even CHARGED WITH LUNACT, and the diseass is said to be bhereditary in his family. Tilton bas been closeted sll day with Aloulion, aud refuses to be comforted by report- ers, or to comfort thein with information. The most remarkable statements in the Brook- Iyn papers are the unapimous demurrers of all the Committee interviewed aod of the nesws- pers to the general suspicion that the Committoe svas packed in Leocher's intorest. This suspi- cion is almost universal, and few believe the re- port will tell anything. It will be as non-com- mittal as the Congregational Conference con- clugions, NOTHING WILL BE FOUND AGAINST DEECHER, and nothing will be said to provoke Tiltoa into further demonstrations. Certawnly the consti- tution of the Committes by Beecher himself, and thoe hasty denials of the unzpoken charge that it is packed, nave a suspicions look. Dis- trict-Atcorney Winslow on this point says: “There is an carnest intention exhibited on the part of the Committeo to ga to the bottom of the scandal. We shall examino Mr. Becch- or's bitterest enomies, if they will only come forward aud tell what thoy profess to know,' there is not the least disposition on tho part of the Committeo to suppress or keep back any- thing. The commuoity, I am eure, may reet satistiod, when this investigation is over, that tho boctom of the matter bas beon toaghod.” ATGUSTUS STORRS, another of the Corumiitee, says: “I'he good intensions of Jr. Beacher in call- ing for this investigation are mitmterpreied by his enemies, who accuse him of cowardice in not allowing the cburch itself to appoiut the Com- mittes of Investigation. plain words, they accuse bim of haviog packed his Committes. T was never approschied on this question by Mr. Beecher with the ulterior object of placing me on this Committoe. not the remotest idea of Dbhis intentions to ask for an investigation until I reccived the notification that I wes nppointed one of the Committee. T can nssure you that this matter is perfoctly straight, from callar to garret. As farasIam concerned thore vias uo * pscking,’ and I think I am porfectly eafe in saying the rame of the others.” 1. P. CLAFLIS ALSO YOLUNTEERED A STATEMENT to the samo efect, but, a momont later, being asked what the investigation amounted to, showed bis bias by answerng: *Ican'tsce anything in it.” Nothung will probably bo known of the facts until tho Committee reports, and probably not then, as tho report will bo very general in lan- nage. Tilton, when found this evening at 3loulton’s houso, was asked: * Have yon received notice to appear before Messrs, Sage, Storrs, Cleveland, Cllirin, Winslow, and White 2" “I cannot entertain the question,” was the reply of Mr. Tilton. ) y Cannot vou give mo any joformation ? ne now; by aad by the public will know more, I diro saz." = The feporter lett without obtaining any fur- ther information. 7 THE FOLLOWING CONVERSATION as hold this cvening with Clarie, Tilloo’s suc- cezsor a3 editor of the Golden Reportec—What do you thi tion in Plymouth Church? Editor—I supposed thoy were cooking some- thing up over there, but Idid oot know what. It soems rather strange that Mr. Beecher's letter, soliciting an inveatigation, ehonld be dated Juns 27.

Sr. Lovts, July 11.—A suit, which will attrack the attention of all st:amboatmen, especialiy those of the Upper Mississippi River, was filed in the United States Circuit Court to-day by Richard C. Gray, of Pittsburg. The petition re cites that a litllo over s year 2gowhat was known a3 the Keokuk Packet Company, Norib- em Line Packet Company, and North- westorn Upion Company, consolidat~ od for mutmal bemefii under the name of the Keokuk & Northern Line, and that the stockholders of snid consohdation agroed not to dispose of the stock of the Com- pany. Soon after tho death of John S. McCune, President, and the Iargest stockholder of the Com= ey, his tock, smourting to over 1,500 shares, was traparerred to William P. Davidson, anothex stockbolder, and formerly tho head of the North- western Union Compaay, by Napoleon Mulliken and Samuel N.

This threw the control of tho Company into the hands of Davideon, and, us plaiatiff alleges, damaged kis interest in tho Company £30,000.
