Bpertal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasurxarox, D.C., March 20.—The farthor consideration of the Pardee nomination was postponed, as were all othor nominations, owing to the renewal of the Lonisiana debate. Tbe votes to-day and the caucus proceedings have definitely fixed the position of the new Inde- pendent Senators as regards party. Booth will aiways vote with the Democrats; Christisncy generally with the Republicans; Cameron, Paddock, and “ McMillan Sek = 6 i The Republican Sepators tis Bera te cencua decided to report the Louisiana resolution oatlned in these dispatchos last night. 1¢ is » substituto for the Prelinghay- wen resolution. Every Republican present in gancus, including, it is esid, Christiancy, voted for it. ‘The Republicans decided not to debate it. The consequence ia that the Democrats conld aly choose to permit the resolution to be im- Rediately voted upon or to enter upon ‘4 CONTEST OF PHYSICAL ENDURANCE. They chose the latter. How long they will be able to continue the debate does not appear. Bayard, who set the precedent forthe ‘new series of speeches, spoke for six hours. His speech was unpremoeditated, and for the most part ex- tempore. It was n curious political mosaic, and gave evidence of cuiture and great physical en- datance. It was the same old Democratic suory. The ghost of imperialism was sum- moned. Bayard believed the time has come when Republicans consider the success of party of moro value than the form of govern- ment. The speech was a desuliory review of the Lonisians case. Tbe resolution was charao- terized asa proposition to continue a military protectorate. Various attempts to come to an arrangemont were defeated, but the Democrata refused to fix soy time next week when the vote shall be en. THE WAGER OF PUSBICAL BATILE was accepted. At 8 o'clock, a session until Sun- day morning seemed probsbie. ‘The Democrats at 7 o'clock protested that they intend to make no factious opposition, and wished an adjournment until Monday. The Re- bliesns doubted and refused. At 8 o'clock the Dpomocrats broke their faith, and resorted to fili- bastering. This is a more dangerous expedient in the Senate than in the House, and the Demo- erate very nearly Jet themsclves into a. trap , Which would bave forced an immediate vote on the resolntion, XNEW SENATORS. Maxey, the ex-Confederate from Texas, made his firet speech. His ability is of a very moder- atoorder. Francis Kernan, of New York, also spoke for the first time. He advanced no new theories of the Louisiand question. He spoke with remarkable ease for 2 new Sonator, and will evidently take a commanding place in his party. Tho danger of the Republicans ia their very small majority. They have not more than five, onavconnt of absentees. Some of those are feeLle, and may not be able to endure the fatigaos of the physics] contest. EATON, OF CONNECTICUT. brought the State Sovereignty question into the discussion. It was his old anti-war speech. His whole argument turned on thie dogma. This country is % great confederacy of States, and notanstion. lt is a confederacy of nations. ‘Little Connecticut claims that it is s sovereign State, not s province. Six times in the old Con- vention Connecticut men caused the word “National” to be stricken ont of the Constitu- tion, and the word “Federal” in By those traditions Eaton proposed to stand. ‘At the conclusion of Eaton's spoech, Andy Johnson claimed the floor. Every Senator then rushed to nis seat irom the clouk-room and the lobby, but it had been previously arranged that an adjournment should behad when Johnson took the floor. THE KORTHEEN ILLINOIS DISTRICT ATTORNEYSHIP. The Benate, in executive ecssion, confirmed the nomination of Jasper D. Ward to be United Statea District Attorney. * [Po the Associated Preset DEBATE ON THE LOUISIANA MATTER. Wasurxcton, D. C., March 20.—Immediately after tbe reading of the journal Mr. Anthony mored that the Senate proceed to the sonsidera- tion ot the resolution submitted on Tuesday night by Mr. Frelinghuysen, approving of the action heretofore taken by the President in pro- tecting Lonisisna from domestic violence, and expreseing the opinion that he should continus to recognize in that State the existing State Government. ‘Mr. Bayard raised a point of order that the effect of the rezolution was legislation, and, therefore, notin the order at this special ses- sion of the Senate. Debate followed. Finally the Senate, by a vote of 23 yeas to 25 nays, agreed to take up the resolution, Following ia the vote in detail : TEAR Frelinghuysen, Morrill (fe), Allison, ‘Anthony, Harvey, jorrill (Vibe Bautwell, Hitchcock, Morton, Ce, Hove, agleaby, Camron ria), Jones Gta Hnberteor, Ga: ), Jones (Ne; eron (Wis), — McMillan, spencer, Sasande, Aitchell, ‘West—28, .

THE SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION. = Mr. Anthony then submitted the substitute ‘agreed upon in the caucus for that of Mr. Fre- linghureen, as follows : Hesolved, That the action of the President in pro- faece eae Seem - is the ecutive, ant State, agaist domestic iolence, and enforcing the lawn of the United States, is approved. Mr. Thurman ssid he wanted time to look into this resolution, and it was evident now that the Seasion would be prolonged tull next week. He Moved that the Senate proceed to the considera- ‘tion of e excantive business. Rejected—yeas, 22; ars, 33. * Before the discussion upon the resolution was commenced, Mr. Anthony said that it was not the intention of the Senators on his side of the Chamber to discuss this matter, and with all due respect to the ingenuity of Senators on the Other side, he did not think they could ssy any- thing new in regard to Louisians ; therefore, be Sid not think there need be any trouble about ‘Yoting upon it, and having a final sdjournment y Mr. White ssid the resolution was 8 twin to St for the afciehetO of Pinohback, recentl; ostpaned till + December, and he imo’ That the recolution be postponed fill the first Monday fn Deocomber next.

While he was spoaking nearly every seat on tho Republican sido was vacant, the Re- pobliesn Senators baving concluded to give the jemocrats the monopoly of the time to be used for speeches. Mr. Bayard yielded for a motion to adjourn, which was sack time rejected. Tinally, on mo- tion of Mr. Randolph, a recess was taken from 4:59 till 6, Mr. Randoiph saying his sole object in ating 5s motion for a recces was that Sen~ ators on his side of the Chamber might have an Cs) ‘unity for a conference. in the Senate reassembling, Mr. Bayard re- sumed his speech, and at 6:15 yielded to Mr. Cooper, who moved that the Senate adjourn. Rejected—yeas, 21; nays, 28. Mr. Bayard then continued his speech to the close, when Mr. Maxey took the floor and spoke 10 opposition to the resolution of Mr. Anthony. Before concluding, at 8 o'clock, ho yislded to Mr. McDonald for 2 motion to adjourn. ‘Mr, Sherman inquired af the Senator (Mc- Donald) could name anytime when the vote could batakenif the Senate should agree now to adjourn. ‘Mr. McDonald replied that he could not, — Mr, Eaton said while Senators on his side of the Chamber had not arrived at any conclusion as to the day when the vote could bo taken, he would ssy candidly that, in his judgment, if the Senate would adjourn ats Teagonable Lour this evening, the vote would be rescbed just a3 soon as if the scusion should be continued, Se ‘Mr. Sherman said it was a matter of vital im- portance to Senators on both aides of the cham- ber to mow when the Senate would adjourn. They bad made engagements, and wanted to goto their homes. It rs on the Dem- ocratic eide would say when they would close the debate, he had no doubt a majority would agree toit. It seemed to him that Tuesday next might be fixed upon for final adjournment. Mr. Bayard said he had no idea that anything bat the most usual and orderly disposition of this resolution would bo attempted by Senators on his side of thechamber. If, when the reso- lution was brought in this morning, the usual course hed been tuken, and an order made to have it printed and Jay over as usual, he had no doubt but that on Mon- asy or Tuesday the speeches would bave been brief. and not dilatory to avy extent. The reason it took nim so long was on account of ‘want of time in preparation. After further diecussion, Mr. Whrte offered a resolution authorizing the President pro tem- pore to declare the Senate adjourned sine die on ‘Thorsday next at noon. Mr. Logan (soto yocs)—** Not much.” Mr. Conkting called for the regular order, and avote was taken on the motion of McDonald to adjourn. Rejected—yess, 0; nays, 25. ‘Mr. Anthony said the majority proposed to give all the time for discussion to the other side, and if the Senators on that side would fix atime for taking a vote, they might adjourn when they pleased. Mr. Maxey then resumed his remarks, and closed by saying the resolution now before the Senate was a twiu brother to the Pinchback res~ olution, and should pe postponed with it. Mr. Davis moved to amend the substitute by striking ont tho word “approve,” and stated it was his intention to insert the word ‘‘disa prove,” if the amendment to strike out should be agreed to, so that the resclution should dis- approve of the action of the Senate in protect- aug the Government in Louieians, of which W. P. Kellogg is Executive, eto. Rejected—yoas, 16; nays, 23. - ‘Mr. Kernan then took the floor, and was fol- lowed by Mr. Eaton, who yielded for a motion to adjourn, which was rejected,—ayes, 20; nays, 21, —when he continued his speoch till 10 o'clock, at which time Mr. McCreery renewed his motion toadjourn, Inmaking bis motion, Mr. Mc- Creery said the majority might sit this resoln- tion out op Tuesday night. Mr. Anthony inquired if the Senator was an- thorized to make this agreement, Mr. McCrory said so far as he was concerned he was willing. ‘Mr. Saulsbury (Del.) said it had been repest- edly asserted that the Democratic Senators did not desire to make any factious opposition, but their word had not been taken,and that fact would justify them in resorting to factions opposition if they thought .proper, though he did not eny they would make such oppusition. ‘Mr. Anthony said if the Senators on the other side would agree to take a vote on Wednesday, the Senators on his side would agree to adjourn- ment now. ‘Mr. Bavard ssid be hoped the vote would not be postponed half co long as the time named, butthe Democratic Senstors would not bind themselves. The motion of Mr. McUreery to adjourn was Fejected—ress, 21; nays, 26. . Eaton then resumed, and concluded at 10 minutes past 11, when Mr. Johnson (Tenn.) ob- tained the floor. Mr. Anthony aid if the Senator did not desire to proceed with his remarks to-night, he would make a motion to adjourn. Mr. Johnson replied that he waa not anxious to go on to-night, and would yield for a motion to adjourn, and speak on Monday. ‘At the request of Mr. Logan, Mr. Anthony modified his motion so as to go into executive session, which waa sgreed to, and the Senate proceeded to the cousideration of executive business. Af 11:20 the doors were reopened, and the Senate adjourned until Monday. THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRASCHE. The Democratic Senators, in their caucus con- sultation this evening, unanimously determined nat to make any agreement or accode to any roposition fixing a definite time for closing the Rebate on the Louisiana question. ‘Chey also decided not to make any merely factious oppo- sition, but to insist upon their right to fully de~ pate the pending resolution in the Senate. ‘NOMINATIONS. ~ John Parker has been nominated for United States Marshal for the Western District of Mich~ igan, and Congressman Snyder for Postmaster of Pine Bluffs, Ark. ; J.

The Story of His Capture and Pur- chase, ; The Boy's Remarkable Progress in His Studies, Reminiscences of His Wild Life His Opinion of Kissing. ‘Mr. Charles Gentile, the photographer at the southeast corner of Btate ond Washington streets, hag for s protege a little Indian boy of the Apache tribe who, although it has only been two years and a half since he left his people, is thoroughly imbued with the tastes of civilization, and is 80 bright and intelligent withal as to give fair promise of arriving at fature distinction. A reporter of Taz Tammonz had a talk with tho little fellow yesterday, some account of which may be interesting to the reader. Before enter- ing intoconversation with him the reporter had tae with Mr. Gentile, in which the latter 0) HOW HE CAME BY HIS PROTEGE. Mr. Gentile has knocked about the Far Weat & great deal,-and bis recital made an interesting narrative, the substance of it boing as follows: “TI had visited and prospected,” he said, “among many Indian tribes north of California as far asthe borders of Alasks, spending five years in traveling through Oregon, Washington Territory, British Columbia, around about the Northern Rocky Mountains, and also into Van- conver's Island,—an island-that, for magnificent scenery, rivals Switzerland. Although I had traveled a good deal of the time with only Indians for companiona, I never had any very serious adventures, and really never had a fight with the Indians or saw an Indian killed. I found the country was too tame for me, Her Britéanic Majesty having her redskins im pretty good subjection. Almost all of the principal chiefs, and some among the Modocs, whom we had an unpleasantness with eome time ago, had banners that had been presented to them by Catholic Priests, with the inscription, “ Religion, Tempor spco, and Civilization,” and decorated with tho Papal symbols. In 1667, I thought I would go to regions where things were more lively. Iwas told by J. Roas Browne and others that the red man could be found in his natural state of pure ‘cussedness’ in the wondorfal territory of ARIZOFA— that the Apaches, who had not changed from their original savage condition, would afford an one in search of Indian adventure ail they cou! atand up to, and more too. The first few months lepent among the peaceable tribes on the Colorado Biver, and also lived among the Pinios and Maricopas, who live in the centro of a great desert, and who are and have been from time immemorial the implacable foes of the Apaches, once early part of 18683 I bad my firat taste o INDIAN ADVENTURE OF THE BEAL SORT. “An acquaintance of minehadstherd of 800 head of cattle grazing a few miles out of Tuc- son, the Capital of Arizona, with a guard of about fifteen men woll armed to watch them. On the 8d of March the Apaches attacked thom and rao the cattle off. Gov. Crittenden, who was in command of the Territory at the time, started out with a body of troops in pursuit of the savages,and I went along. We wero out about two months, andI hada lotof interesting adventures which it would take me too long to tell you. Among them wae a hard fight with 600 redskins. In 1872 I started out with Goy. Safford, of Arizons,—who, by the way, is from Liinois.—in search of some wonderful gold mines. There ware about $00 miners in the party, and we bad some fighte with the Apaches, During a fight we had with one of their war partios, the Pinio and Maricopa Indiana attacked their village, which was almost defenseless in their absence, and destroyed it, killing and driving sway the Apaches and taking some captive. We fell in with them shortly after, and Monty (the di- minutive he generally applies to his Indlan protege) and his two sisters wore in their pos- session. I persuaded them to BELL HIM TO ME, anda friend of mine took the two girls. Since then Monty hss knocked about with me and picked up a knowledge of our language. About & year ago he began to go to school, and is get- ting slong first-rate. Hoe was christened Carlos Montezuma bys Catholic priest, and his age when I got him, oa nearly as I could \y was 6 years, sothac ho is now 8 years and 6 months old.” MONTY ‘was introduced to the reporter, and, hauling a chair up alongside, sat himself down with cheer- ful alacrity. He haa the high choek-bones and broad face of the Indian; his nose is rather broad and depressed, ‘although nothing similar to the negro type. Hoe has the awarthy alin and coarse hair of the Indian, but his brown eyes dance with fun, and his smiling address and bright, intelligent manner ste altogether the reverse of tha stolidity of expreesion generally seen in the In- dian. Monty is rather superior in aptnoss and intelligence to boys of his age, and is, spparent- ly, thoroughly civilized. He chatted atong with the reporter, perfectly at ease and unembar- ragsed, and answered questions with engaging frankness and naivete. Hesaid: ‘ My name is Montezuma; that’s what Mr. Gentile called me. My father called me Wassaja. I don’t know what that means, My father’s name was Kerluyva, and he was a Chief. Ho had two wivos, but I don’t recollect my mother’s name. My sisters’ names wero Washiputa and Uhlackkah. Do you know what that means ?* said ho, smiling. ‘No,” said the reporter. “Why, that means sore-nose,” said he, chuck- ling over his superior knowledge. ‘Bho reporter inquired into THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF IS CAPTURE. ““Thore wasa fight at oor village, said ho. “and the Pinios took it’ It was about 3 o'clock in the night. My father was away at another village, and the fightiog-men were mostly away, too. My mother was killed, and Iand my two sisters were captured. I thought they were going to kill me, and when I saw Mr. Gentle I,thought he wanted to get me to kill mo. Ith@ught that thing you take pictures with (the camera) was acannon. They had me two orthrea days before Mr. Gentile bought me.” Reporter—What made you think that Mr. Gentie was going to kill you? Didn't you know anything about the white men? Monty—Mr. Gontile was the firat white man I evorsaw. I did not think it was a pretty color, and was afraid of him. Ihad heard of whito men before. I heard that they ate fish and had big noses. Wenever ate fish in our tribe, I thought that the white men made the horses too. The reporter then proceeded to make inquiries in regard to HIS MODE OF LIFE before capture, and drew out from him the fol- lowing statement: ‘I used to live in tents then, and wore buckskin clothes. We used to move ground the country, and in the winter went down in the valley. Itis warm out in Arizona, but cold in winter. Wo had deer, bi.ds, corn, wild berries, 2nd some roots to eat.” Monty tried to explain about some root they ‘ used to eat a great deal, but could not think of the name, and appealed to Mr. Gentile, who said it was the root of the century plant, which grows toa very large size in Arizona. The Indians bake the root in sort of clay kilns they construct. It is very eweet, with a pineapple flavor. Monty then went on: *, “We bad hard times sometimes, and did not get enough to eat. They did not treat me__ikindly either, and used to beat _me, snd dnve me out of the tent. Iwas sorry to lose my father and mother, though, but afterwards when I saw some of our tribe at an agency (Camp Date Creek), 8 aquaw told me that my father wes there, and told me tornn away. Ltold her that I would not—that Thad nice things to est now. I used to play with tho other boys. Woe used to shoot a goud denl. We had a thing patnted red; I forget its name, but it was big like Pumpkin. We used to roll it down the “mountain, nnd seo who could hit it the moat. ‘Then we used to play war, and shoot at each other. We used to yell and hide behind trees, and shoot when we saw anybody. I got stuck all over, my legs, sod I have been stack so bad that it was bard to get the arrow out, We used to have stone points to them.” < The reporter asked him what wero the RELIGIOUS NOTIONS OF HIS TRIBE, but he did not know much about the subject. He Isughed when he said: “I'll tel! you what's fan- ny; they think the good man lives below, and the bad man is up above. They used to think that if they killed snakes the man above would got angry. They used to have ‘war-dances and scalp-dances. They put the scalps on a pole and jumped abont it in thia way,” paid he, capering about. ‘They brought in white scaips once, and hada whito man. They were going to lot him off once because he had the small-por, and then one of them hit him over the head with 9 hatchet and Killed him. Idid not see him, but heard them talk abontit. We had doctors, too, and when anybody got stuck, they used to rattlesthings in stones and sing.” The reporter then asked Montezuma about his travela and Tow HE LIKED CHICAGO, Monty—I went to Washington first, but did not like tho place. I dido’t recoflect mach about it, buat there were lots of niggers thore, snd I don’t like niggers. ‘Thon Lt came to Chicago and went to school. IJiked schoo] pretty wollat first, butI don’t like itso moch now. Istudy the Third Reader and arithmetic, and am in multiplication, I went first to a public school on the South Side, bnt Ihave been going to achool at Hyde Park lately, [have been going altogether about a year. Tho boya sometimes tried to plague mo at firat, but when we got acquainted it was all night. Igo to Sunday-school too. The other boss took me. I used to go to the Cathedral on Washington strect on the West Side. I like Sunday-achool pretty woll. ‘Mr. Gentile came up and teased Monty about UNGALLANTRY TO THE FAIR AMS. NOUSBY, She took an intorest in tho httle follow, as does every one who meets him, and one day last week kissed him.—a proceeding which, although ho was too polite to resent, ho did notrelish. “I don't like Kissing,” be explained to the reporter, ‘Indiana don’t kise.” : Monty’s quickness and intelligence supply fond of anecdotes concerning him. Tho first English words he leamed consisted of the varse beginning, ‘Mary hada little lamb,” and it bas over since remsined s favorite quotation with him. Some time ago, when he wished to go out and play, he was refused permission because of the snow. He took ita good deal to heart, and looked out the window discouaolately. After a while he took up “Mary had a tittle lamb." and cogitated over it, ard soon, with a cheerful laugh, broke ont with bad a Uttlg lamb 5 Sho had it nbouf/s year, ‘The lamb get maq ono day And walked off on its ear, Monty fraternizes amicably with boys of his age, and is oxpert atall games. In marbles he is so successful as to accumulate them by hand: reds, He can play cards, chess, and checkers with romarkabte skil. aod is very quick af men- tal calculation, He does not exhibit any of the vindictive traits of tho Indian char- acter, and Mr. Gentile says he is upiqne among Indiass. He is good-natured and obliging, is perfectly truthful and bonest. He does not suffor at allfrom any prejudico against him, a8 his force of character soon commands tho-respect of bis smool-fellows. Ho is bold as # lion, and can thrash the average boy of 13, 80 that bo is not impozd on. His vocabulary is larger than that of children of his ago, and tho quickness of his parts is such that ho is considered a bor of bright promise. Mr. Gentile will send him to dancing-achool next winter, and he will foish his education in Europe, probably in Italy, a: he shows 4 taste for music, which, if it develops, will ba cnltivated.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Cmcaco, March 20.—The Tilton-Beecher scandal bas been before the public ao long and 80 prominently x3 to have become somewhat nausesting to most of your readers; and yet there is one feature of it that, with one ex- ception, has not been brought out, and that is contained in the answer to the oft-repeated | question, ‘“ How is the testimony which the de- fense have been addacing material, or even ad- misaible? * = In the firat place, Mr. Beecher is to be tried Just as any otber man similarly charged. Jus- tice knows no law which is not alike applicable toallmen, Again, Mr. Beecher employs attor- neys, to whom he muat look for the proper con- dact of his case, Anunwarrantable interference by him—as, for instance, that jf should be con- ducted solely upon moral gronnde—would au- thorize them in withdrawing.. More than that, the Court bas jurisdiction in the premises 80 far only as the questions arising are legal ones. Therefore, if the testimony for the de- fense is legally admissible, it is ir in an; sense in Ba ersten 8 trial st inw. z ‘The action is purely a civil one for damages,— wach damages a8 may have grown oat of the logs of aid, comfort, happiness, society, and whatever benafit inberes in the e-rela~ tion. Consequently, whatever lessens, ar tends to leseen, that damage, is adimiseible.

It being material, in a cage of this nature, to ascertain upon what terms the husband and wife lived together before seduction, it is com- petent for the parties to introduce such evidence as beara directly upon that point. There is 8 casein Seboyn’s Nisi Prins, which even goes to thelength of holding that the plaintiff in an action for crim, con. cannot main- tain his suit if the defendant shows that he is notoriously engaged in adulterous practices him- self ; though thisis probably the rule too far. It is trae this kind of evidence does not go to- wards establishing Mr. Beecher's innocence of the charge of adultery, except in so far as it may tend to prove a conspiracy on tho part of the plaiotif, It is said Mr. Tilton would be as well satisiied with s verdict for 1 cent as for $100,000. But he cannot, by thus disclaiming a desire for a money-verdict, shut out testimony for the dé~ feats | which is competent under issues join Itis also probably true that the testimony in question ia being used for the purpose of divert- ing the attention of the jury from the plaintiff's more important testimony.

THR MYSTERY OF HER LIFE, New York Tribune, March 8, One of the most interesting and remarkable of the side incidents brought into view by the suit of Mr. Tilton against Mr. Beecher is the life of the young woman known as Bessie Turner. Her name and birth ore s mystery; for, while she is best known as Bessio Turner, sho has been called also Lizzie McDermott, and the best endeavors of her friends have not discovered which of those names rightfully belongs to her. ‘The young Isdy herself is able to afford only » slight elow to her parentage, as she only romem- bers that when very young she was placed in an orphan ssylum in Brooklyn, with two boys whom she understood to be her brothers. She recalls the fast, however, that she waa called Lizzie MeDermott at that time. A young man named Witliam McDermott, who believes that in Misa Torner he has found a lost sister, tolls s singu- Jar story. Twenty-tio yours ago, it is stated, the wife of Bartlett McDermott, of Sheffield, Mass., died, leaving two sons and alittle daughter 4 years old, ‘thin danghter is supposed to be Bessie Turner. Soon after Mrs. McDermott’s desth the children were placed in the Orphan jam in Brooklyn, and the father did not visit them fora considerable time. Having again, he went to the Asylum to secure hia chil- dren, but found that the boys hed been bound out, and that the girl had been taken °for adoption by a family in Now York. Mr. McDer- mott advertised forthe children, he says, both at that time and a year later, in 1866, but did not get upon the track of either the boys or the girl. It was not until a year or two after that Mr. Mc- Dermott heard anything from the missing chil- dren. The boys inthe meantime had grown to manhood, and, when the Rebellion broke out, they enlisted in the Union army. After the close of the War, the youngest, William, went to Orange County, inthis State, and the other, Jamea, went to Bridgeport, Conn, Both were naturally desirona of finding their kinefolk, and Witliam McDermott, hearing of s family with his name in Sheffield, Mase., wrote to one of its members. Bartlett McDermott, meanwhile, had moved to Loe, in Massachusetts, and the person to whom young McDermott wrote proved to be his own ‘uncle, and it waa not therefore long before the young man found his father. But, despite the most thorongh search, William McDermott was unable to find the sister with whom he had been placed in the Asvlum in Brooklyn. ‘The Beecher-Tilton scandal brought Mies Tur- ner’s name into some notoriety, and the fact that the young lady was also known as Jizzie Mo- Dermott was made public in one of Mr. Tilton’s statements. This single lenf in Miss Turner's history came under the notice of William Mc- Dermott, who was then, and is now, residing at Long Branch, N. J. He caught at this clew, and renewed-the soarch for hia sister, which he had almost hopeleasty abandoned. Bessie Turner proved to be the Lizzie McDermott of his child- ed obstacle stood io the way of a clear idontification of tho young woman as hissister. A Mrs. Frunke, now a widow, was formerly the wife of Capt. Turner, from whom she was divorced, and sho claims now—and has claimed for many years— that Miss mare ls. her daughter. Funke says that, when young Woman was & mer bebe, on sccount of family troubles, the ‘infant was placed in the care of Mrs. McDermott. When Mrs. McDermott died, as before stated, the child was put into the Orphan Asy- Tum, and abont the events of Miss ‘Porner’s history that follow there is no dispute. She was taken from tho Asylum into the family of a New York gentleman, bot her home was changed several times, and she finally found her way into the family of Mr. Tilton, with whom sbe remained fourteen or fifteen years, During this time she occasionally heard from her supposed father, Capt. Turner, who is now employed in New York, and also from Mrs. Franke, who claims to be her mother. At went the matter still has mystery about it, and, although, William McDermott is en- deavoring to clesc away the cload, and the frends of Misa Turner (or McDermott) are ns- tusting him by all means in their power, there seema yet noclear way to establish the true parentage of the girl beyouda doubt. Brooklyn Argus, March 17. _ - Mr. Wilham McDermott, Bessie Turner's youngest brother, ia making every effort in his power to accumulate evidence proving the identity of Bessie Turner or Mary Ann McDer- mott. Yesterday he called on Mrs. Pike, the lady who, with Mr. Holt, removed the children from Kelsey’s Alley to the Orban Asylum. The young man remembered some of the particulars of the removal, and Mrs. Pike had no hesitation in declaring that ho was one of the children taken tothe Asylam. William bas received s number of letters throwing light oa the girl's history: One of his relatives roferred him to a driver in. New York City named John Fagan. ‘William found Fagan, and the romem- ‘ered the particulars of the removal of the chil- dren, and explained how Mr. McDermott came to him to advise as to the propriety of permit- ting the children to be removed to the asylum. Lust evening, William met his sister on Hicks eucet He approached her and accoated her vs “*Good evening, Bessie.” Bessie made no reply. _ “I think this is rather bard,” continued Will- iam. I feelcertsin that weare related. Itseems to me that you ought to recognize me.” ‘The girl made no reply, and did not appear to Pay avy attention to him. William walked by her side until they reached Fulton streot, where Bessie took a Green and Gates avenue car, The brother took s seat by her side, and asked her to read a letter which he had recsived containing fresh proof of their re~ Jationship, but the girl ly refused to receive thia letter. Bessie was on her way to the house of Mr. Manchester, on Adelphi street, where she is now living. Sho leftthe car at Adel street, accompanied by her brother. William made another attempt to engage herin conversa- tion, but Bessie became indignant and said: “If you persist in following me, I shall have some one to protect me.” William said: ‘* Under the circumstances, Bessie, it seems to me you onght to trest me more civilly.” “No! nol” returned Bessie, a8 sha quicken- ef hee ies ane lett ak brother. eporter—* McDermott, you say that when you first found your mates a couple of months ago, she appeared to be friendly to you. How do you account for the change in her de- portmeut?” Mr. McDermott—'Ican only account for it or the supposition that some of her friends are prejudiced against me. Perhaps they are sus- picious ; they may think I am a spy, snd am en- Geavoring to ascertain the character of her evi- donce. At any rate, I think they have poisoned ber mind against mo. But I shall do all I can to bring my sister around. Perhaps she may see father, and that may affect her.” —— FACTS AND GOSSIP, INCIDENTAL EXPENSES.
