New Yorx, May 8.—A cable dispatch from London announces tho degtrustion of the steam- gbip Schiller, of the Eagl@Line, Capt. John G. Thomas, which sailed from New York April 28, sud the loss of at least 200 persona. The Schil- Jer yas bound for Hamburg via Plymouth and Cherbourg, and at 10 o'clock last night, ina heavy fog, struck upon one of the dangerous Retorriere ledaca off phe Scilly Islands, 80 miles wet sputhwest of lLand’s End, Com: wall. A heavy sca was ragipg at the time, and the vessol Giled and went down Bofors the boata could be lowered. According fo tho story of some of the survivors, many per— ished before they could reach the rocks ; others were washed off and drowned. ‘The Beilly life- boat, acda boat from St. Agnes, southwest of the group, were dispatched to tho spot, but tho aca was ranting so high that they were of little assietance,. A few of the survivors wererescued from the water and picked up with difficulty, after foating with the tide for along distance. ‘The Schiller was found lying broadside on the rocks and 2 hopeless wreck. The excitement in Londos oa learning the news was intense, and ali the papers published exiras giving meagre accounts of ihe disaster. The offices of the Company were beciezed by an eager crowd anx-. ous to learn the’ fate of their relatives and friends, but tho news which arrived was of s0 sieader a description that but little could bs told them, The names of those sared wero telegraphed, but not with eaflicient accuracy 40 alluy auy of the apprehension fel: by relatives acd friends. Leter inthe dey news was receiyed from Penzance that twenty-six more had beso saved, ‘ 2 THE SCILLY ISLANDS nave caused more than one disastrous ehip- wreck, In 1707 Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovel lost three line-of-battle-ships at the same place. They are a group of rocka and wlers, situated about 30 miles from the extreme southwest of England, :n! number 140 or thereabouts. Toey rise for the most part precipitously from the sea, aro composed of granite and eurrounded by submarine reefs of the most danger- ous cheracter. The Isrgeat islands in the group are St. Agnes, St. Mary's, Trescan, St Martin's, Bryor, and Sampson, But jew of them are habitable, and the inhsbitents subsist principally on, fich. There is s light- house on St. Agnes, and another on one of tho further ielande; but; in the fog which prevailed st the time, the lights wore probably invisible. A fog signal is also reported to be in use, but either this was not audible in the gale or was not in use atthetime. After striking, guns were fired from the’ Schiller, but not in time to be of any material service. ‘The Schuller and her sister ship, the Lessing, were built on the-Clrde by Bebart Napier & Sons. Tha former wasone pf the newest: and best boste on the Atlantic, and ‘was constructed on the most approved principles.

Another Brief Talk with the Notorious Woodhull. RULED OUT. Z New York Sun's reportaf Fhureday's proceedinas, Mr. Fulierton read from Mr, Beecher’s teati- mony his ‘denial that be had ever confessed to Mr. Bowen the commission of any adulteries, and put the question to Mfr. Bowen: “Did you stany time etatetq Mr. Beecher any charges which implicated hig mora} oharacter?” Mr. Evarts argued against the admissibility of au answer, 30d Judge Neilgon ruled in his favor, saying: “It is immaterial what 5 conversation may have been tetween Mr. Beecher and Mr. Bowen. I don’t think we can take it.” ‘Mr. Fullerton next offered the ‘* ‘Woodstock letter,” written by Mr, Bowon to Mr. ‘Tilton in 1863, of which only the following paragraph has over been published : I sometimes feel that Imust break silence, that I mist no longer suffer as a duinb man, and be made to bear a load of grict meat unjuatiy, One ‘word from me would make a reroiution throughout Christendom, I had almost snid—anid you Enow tf, You have just s little of the evidence from the great volume in my possession, I am not pursuing ® phantom, but sal- emnly boding over an awful reality. Mr. Eyarts contested the admission of the let- ter, and Judge Neilson ruled it aut. . APROMISED "STARTLING REVELATION.” Despatoh to tke St. Louis Globe, New Yours, May 7.—The following will’be pub- lished in the Sun to-morrow: ‘After the close of the Beecher trial there will be a startling rev- elation of the experience of the jurors. One of them has complained to Judge Neil- gon that he haa been approached jmprop- orly and it is now regarded as certain that there can be no verdict. At the commencement of the trial Judga Neilson favored the isolation of the jury, but the lawyers on both sides, fore- seeing the hardship of such-a course, opposed it, and had their way. Jurors, consequently, hava been accessible. ‘Tho result has been clocoly watched by detectives on bothaides. Soon after the trial began, Joho F. Bingham, wha used to be in tho employ of the Erie Kailway under Fisk's management, and since then has had some con- nection with Shearman’s office, went to Middle- town, N. ¥., onan orrand from the defense. ‘There he ssw 8 Mr. Tuttle, who has been a de- tective for the rie Company. Bingham said to him, in substance: ‘We want to employ you to Jook after the jury in the Beecher case.” Tuttle declined the job, whereupon Bing- bam eajd: ‘Well, the work is gomg to be done any way, if I have to look after it myeelf.’ Bingham goon made his appearance in Brooklyn, and bas spent most of hig time there ever since, but has not been in the ocurt-room, Hie move- ments have been closely watched by detectives in the employ of Tilton’s side; and we dare gay the secret history of the scandal would bo as inter- esting as that which has been reparted in the newspapers.” 1N GOOD SPIRITS. New York Heraid, May 7. Perhaps it is to be an era of good feeling be- fore the tnal ends, When Bowen descended from the witness etsnd at recess, Beechor shook hands with him. In the Piymouth Church circles the fraternization of the brethren was unusually cordial. Tilton was in uncommonly good humor at the end of the day's proceedings. He was ready to Inugh and joke with anybody. His lawyera were jubilant, and tho defendant's lawyers wero not behind them in mauifestations of joy at the great success of their syda, ‘hoa ll he ‘delight waa go unalfected. e oe i MRS. WOODHULL. Mra, Burnham's letter w St. Louis Renublican, New Yors, May 6.—Less than two months ago, Victoria Woodhull, wesried in body and wornin mind, straightened in circumstances, altogether under # cloud, occupied a very mpu- est suite of apartmenta ins ‘ flat” houso on Eleventh street. Last nightI found her oo- cupying 4 atunning brown-stono on Fif- tieth street, sitting in saloon 90 by 75 fect’ large (tho = room, not Victoria) surrounded by carved walnut pieces of furniture of the most magnificent de- scription, mirrors of fabulous size. gorgeous carpets, bronze fignres tho: size of life, carved walnut doors, big enough for church purposes, robed in black yolvet, sitting in state, refusing S3m' Morris’ earnest entreaties to take the stand ss 8 witness in this Beecher business. “ Why," said the astonished woman, “gid Moulton and Tuton actually adyiss you to‘take this step?’ And when Mr. Morris said they did, sho exclaimed that tho trial bad unsettled their minds, “for,” continued Victo- ria, “proving them false in their statements concerning mo would throw out their evidence in all respeots. And though Theodore’s cause ia just, and the statements of Tilton, Moulton, and wife, trae in tho main, they would bo exnshed by the foolish provarica: made about me, which I should explode the inatant I went on the witness-stand.”- So Mr. Morris, evidently sg rapidconvert to the Woodhull opinion, witl drew, and left tho triumphant Victoria to enlarg on this tremendous topic. = rs THE RELATION OF THE SEXES, New York Times. One of the witnesses in the Beecher case, the other day, told the Court that, in his opinion, “The relation of the sexes was s department of human life which should be relegated tg tho will and conscience of tho indi- viduals concerned; that the Jaw should notinterfera with the relations of the sexes, ao faras the affections aro concerned.” “Dues it not almost scem that this view is held by other persons over in Brooklyn besides the wit- nose iu question, end does not that fact account for much that is otherwise wholly inoxplipsble in the present caso ? BESSIE. Springfield (Maas.) Republican, Hessie Turner is a smart girl, but she seems very subject to “self-deception,” as Mr. Beechor calls it, She testified thatshe told Mr. Richards, ‘Mra, Tilton’s broteer, all about Tilton’s abusa of his wife and attempt to ruin her in Decomber, 1870, and Mr. Richards appears in court and swears that she never said a word to him about it; she declared that che did not tell Mra. Brad- shaw that Tilton had accused his wife’ of adul- tery, and Mrs. Bradshaw, being recalled, pro- dyces her diary with the record of that precise statemant by Bessie. The question naturally aries whether sho was tho’ yictim of’ similar “¢geif-deception” in her vivacious narratiyos about ‘filton’s abusing his wife and catrying hateelf from éne bed to another, ete, CONDONATION. To the Kditor of The Chicago Tribune: “Dupuqve, In., May 7.—As a pulpit-orator and elocutionist, Henry Ward Beecher is infiuitely superior to any man living., No other, either of this or any past sge, has been so powerful to sway an audience, or control st will his en- tranced hearers. “Hia acting upon the ros- tram is consummate, and his rhetoric of the highest order; but his great strength consists in his wonderfol command of innguage, and the skillfal use of worda. ‘This is hig great force, and in it he is unsurpassed.

Susan Scutt and her son Wesley Van Dusen, who shot her and then killed himself, were buried yeaterday in one grave in Hillsdale, Co- lambia County, N. Y. Every one in the neigh- borhood had a story to tell of the eccentricities of Wesley Van Dusen, the illegitimate son of Susan Scutt. He was 88 years of age, industrious and sober, and had been employed by the railroad company from his boyhood. Although morose and uncommuniocative, scarcely ever be- ing known to apeak, he did bis work to the satia- faction of bia employers. It was not until about a year ego that his known eccentricity was sus- ented to be a form of insanity. Then he was locked up in jailon complaint of his dfather whom he repeatedly threatened with gun | and pistol. : Atthe jail Van Doven gave the Sheriff s sum of money for safe keeping, which seemed fabu- lonsly larga to the gosaips of the little spricul- al town. Over $2,500 wasin the roll, and among the bank notes were those of State banks Jong sgo worthless excent as old paper. That a man and railroad laporer should secretly possess 80 much wealth, hoarded from his small Wages, was not to be explained by the village. No one evon of his family knew of his savings, ‘as the money never went out of his possession even tobe hidden. After he had displayed his money, it was decided not to presa the charge against him, and he was released. Ho returned to five with bis motherang ber parents in a jit- tle cabin about half 9 mile below Hillsdale sta- tion, on an unfrequented road near a small stream at the foot of the mountain. Caleb 8cutt, the old man, is 02 years old, and hig wife only litte younger. Sarsh Scutt, the mother of Wesley, was 60 years old. She took care of the story-and-a-half cabin, and made jt a home for her son, The affection between them ‘was warm, and after hia release from jail Wes- ley ‘and his mother puzzied over the question of tho disposition of Ins money. Then sho gonsulted John O, Hubbard, Esq., telling him that some one wished to’ borrow. it and got it away from them. He advised her to lend it on gatiafactory security at @ reagonable rate, bpt she would not listen, Then he advised her to bank it, and she gtill objected. His next sug- gestion that the money ghould be hidden in some place known only to herself end son moet her approval. fhe went away saying that they would bide the mougy 80 that no ona living should bp able to find it. Subsequently mother and son quarreled over the money. ‘On Monday Wesley tegan io show signs of re- curring insavity, end to a pbyvician called to at- tend him he said that some one was pursuing him to cut him to pieces. Little attention was paid to what wero thought to be temporary va- garies. Tho inmates of the cabin retired ag ‘ugual, Wealey and his mother in the loft, which was divided bya board partition, and the old conple on the lower floor. At about 5 o'clock the next myrning, while the old man was building the fire, he beard scuffing, two pistol shots, gnd s heavy fall in the loft. His wife screamed, and he ran to the ladder andclimbed to the trap- doar, the only entrance to the loft. It was closed, and the old man pushed it up wita great diftioul- ty, for boxes and barrels had been piled on it. ‘ver he had forced the door, tho old man saw the prostrate farm of his daughter. She was groaniog, and her night-clothes were. red with the bload that flowed from two bullet-boles in her breast. Over ber, with the emoking pistol gtill in his hand, stood the maniac, aud his voice yoused the old man from his stupor. “Damn you,” it said, “go dow, or I'll put » hole through you.” ‘I won't,” oried the ald man. ++ Bat TU have you twitched for this.” Spring- ing to the side of the dying woman, the old man rais her in bjs arms and started for the trap-door. The mad- man followed, and, with the pistol close to the inanimate woman's faco, fired, tho ball piercing her forshend. ‘Tha old’ man did not falter, or Ipge his hold upon the woman. Descending the laddar, he carried her acrogg the rpom and Teft her dead on the bed from which be had just arisen. ‘Then, with big wife, he started to alarm the neighbors, and ran to Hillsdale.“ Wesloy hes murdered an,” said he, ‘‘and I want him ested.” eputy-Sheriff Knox anda ngmber af others accompanied him ‘to the house, from which he had been absent abont half sn hour. ‘Stretched on the floor in the next room to that in which the murdered woman lay, was the body of the mar derer, He bad sat oa the floor, bared his broast, and shot himself, an inch to the nght of the heart. He was dead. In s baskotof carpet- rags, just within his reach if sotting up, was found saven-barreled revolrer with five cham- bers hsrged. Tho raga ware piled upon it, aeemingly to conceal jt. “(As the newa of tho tragedy spread through tho village the excitement became intense. Buainess was entiroly suspended, and gnu arous- ed multitude tilled tie lowly cabin and stepped over the blood-stained floor. In the thorough searches made by the visitors, $1,500 was) govered in different au: all sorts of hiding- places, It isthought that about $1,000 of the madman’s money is still hidden in the house. Yesterday morning Henry fcutt, s grandson of the old couple, who attended the “funeral, found an old spotgun that had belonged ta Wesley. As his grandparents were nervous, he thonght he would discharge rather than keep it Ipaded jn the houge. ‘Tha gun burat when ho attempted to fire it, and torribly laceratad bia hand and arm, The gua wag one-third fall of slugs, bolt-hesds, and iron scraps that bad rusted in.

Specicl Dispatch to The Chicaco Tribune. ‘Wasmmatox, D. C.. May 8.—It is not abeo- lutely certain that the Secretary of the Treasury will adnere to the decision rolative to the sus pension of damage allowances on goods imported at interior porta of entry. The whole subject haa been roferred to Judge Burnham, the new Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. He is now engaged in examining tro arguments. There is goma reason to beuove that he doubts the practicability of making examination for allowance of damage incurred on the voyage of importation within ten days from the date of original importation at the firat port. One purpose of the new order seems to be to prevent Westero merchants from obtaining damage allowance for damage incurred between the coast ports and the Weat. This, it is claimed, is a gross injustice to the Eastern im- porters, who, in selling their goods West, have to incur the riske of transportation. The whole subject seems to turn upon the legal definition of 2 few words, and the relation of the act of July, 1874, to tho act of 1799. A PAOTEST. Oharles H.
