Logan, Howe, Frelinghuysen, Mor- rillof Maine, Sargent, Wright and Spencer, the committee appointed by the republicaa pnatorial caneus. held on Satuntay, to re- Vise the standing committees of the Senaie, Were in session from 1 o'clock until noon to- day. The democratic committee, consisting | of Messrs. Stevenson, Bogy, Saaisbury, Da- vis and Whyte, were also’ in session.’ The republican caucus committee have not yet finished their labers, and may be able to make but a partial report to the caucus this afternoon after the adjournment of the Sen- ate. If they are not able to make a full re- | port to-day, another cancus will be held to- morrow morning, and the standing commit- lees will be announced sometime during the day. The republicans, it is understood, have agreed to give the democrats a representa- tion of Uiree on all committees of nine, | and two on committees of seven. The | chairmansbips of commitiees will remain unchanged, exeept where heretofore filled by | outgoing Senators. The chairmanships are selected. as a rule, from those first on the list after the names of the retired members. The snecession of Senator Wright tothe Commit. | tee on Claims will leave Senator Boutwell as the chairman of the Committee on Civil Ser- vice and Retrenchinent; Hamlin, of Maine airman of the Post Office Committee Wh dom of Public Lands; Allison on Indias: Affairs, Oglesby on Pensions; Hiteheock ou Territories: West on Railroads; Sargent on Mires and Mining. It is probable that Conk- ling will be chairman of Commerce, and | Spencer of the District of Columbia. Mr 7 eneor’s bame now stan is first on the list | of both these committees, but as it would be | in violation of custom for him to have two cbairmanships, and_as M Conkling repre- | ser ts the interests of commerce more wi 4 } than any other Senator, there is an e it. propriety in his assi; it to the chairman- | ship of the Committee on Commerce, leaving | fo Mr. Speneer, who held no Cogent last session, the same position on the Dis' | Committee.

I saw photographs of Beecher ntin this cas IN TILTON’S HOUSE, and ke (Tilton) showed them to me with those of other eminent men. Tilton gave me one: I think they were all in siall boxes on a table. I have seen books in Tilton’s libra- ry with Beegher'’s autograph in them, ant one of these he said he would give to me if L desired it. Counsel then returned to the scene at Southport, of Tilton’s moodiness. The witness said: I remember the letter sent by Mrs. Tilton throngh me to Tilton; the substance of it was that she could not bear such conduct from him. TILTON'S FITS. Tilton was explaining his conduct; he said these fits were irresistible and beyond his control, and that they made every person about him unhappy. He said this was one of the penalties genius bad to endure, and that as soon as he would get home and settle down these moods would depart from him. He said that if he could address an audience this mood would depart from him. He did address an audience shortly after, and this mood went off him. Tilton told me that he would rather be editor of the New York Jx- dependent than hold any other position. This was when we were in Washington; he said this also once in his own house in Livingston street. Mrs. Tilton said at one time that it wonld break Theodore’s heart to leave his position on the Indepentent. Tilton asked my Pavice one time about SENDING BESSIE TURNER TO SCHOOL AT NYACK as she wasa girlof rare qualities and they ight be improved; that her perceptions of musics] qualities were very rare and intai- live, and that Mrs. Tilton kept her too much confined looking after the children. I saw Tilton reading to her while in Southport in the summer of 1866. In the fall of 1866 Tilton told me that he had almost given up going to church, and only went there to hear the music. I asked him if it was on account of Beecher he had given up church going, and he said *No:" that he liked Beecher, as he was a great moral teacher and ifrare qualitics. But he thonght Leecher's qualities were over esti- mated. People were ti,ed of old Calvanistic doctrines and wanted sometaing fresh. He said magnaniminity was one ofhis greatest characteristics ——— EUROPEAN NEWS. The. Discrim' les.

MURDER OF A BROTHER-IN-LAW.—We learn from the Union, S. C., Times that a shocking murder was committed in that county on Thursday night. The yictim was Jobn Wicks, and’ the perpetrator of the deed, it is believed, is William Griffin. They Were brothers-in-law, having married sisters. The dead body of Wicks was found the next morning lying in the road with his throat cut from ear to ear and the skull fracturad from a blow on the right side of the head, either of the wounds was sufficient to cause death. No witness has been found to testify to having seen the deed committed, but the two were seen together on the road not long before it oceurred, and many heard the blows and ca from the deceased. Griffin is in jail. THE Beacn Banpirri or Capr Cop—a dispatch from Highland Light, Cape Cod, Says, the debris of the hull and cargo of the wrecked vessel Giovanni have been sold for #300.

G ON THE Eprscora. Brsn- rstion of the confirmation of Rev. Dr. DeKoven as Protestant Episeopal bishop of Illinois begins to grow interesting. Of the standing committees that have passed | {udement within past fortuight eleven have given votes In the » tive, as follows. | those of the dioceses of Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia, Central New York, Central Penn- Sylvania. Pennsylvania, Delaware, Michi- gan, Louisiana, and Texas; on the other side | Bre the dioceses of Albany and Alabama | But the standing committees of thirty dio- ceses have yet to vote. The chances the | cConiirmation of the Rev. Dr. Jaggar for the | southern Ohio bishopric are, so far, decidedly | more encouraging. Bearing in mind that the | consent of a majority of standing com- | Miltees of the various dioceses is required in | order to the consecration ofany person elected | bishop In the Protestant Episcopal chureh, | the consent or refusal in the cases of Dr. De- Koven and br. Jaggar may be regarded as indicating the diversities of opinion in that ; church as to the expediency of electing men to the episcopal affice who the doctrines | attributed to thone gentiemen, The objection | to Dr, beKoven is bis strongly uttered belief | about the real presence, and to Dr. J, G that he expressed his sympathy with Dr. Cheney. of Chicago, when dealt with », his bishop for not conforming to the office of bap- lixmal regeneration in thé prayer-book. Dr Jaggar bas written a letier asserting his fidelity to bis church, although he may have thought that Mr. Cheney was treated with too much harshness.
