The law requires that all “playing cards shall be subjected to a proprietary stamp of one cent.” The owner holds that if does not apply to the ecards of the game of « Author,” but the revenue offi- cers making the seizure take the ground th: they can make nodistinetion between “play ing ecards” for intellectual purposes and those used in the “national games” of “draw,” “eucbre” and “seven up. How Rurcs Hatca Won His Brroe.— Mr. Rufus Hatch came to Washington on business connected with the Pacifie Mail, and without any premeditation has founda bonanza. Mr. Hatch is a widower, with three children. Accidentally, he met here Miss Josephine Chesney. antifal and brilliant woman. Miss Chesney looks only al out 20, but the additional years have oniy added to her general appearance and brii- Maney. Her father, who wasa Presbyterian clergyman, died at the commencement of the war. Miss Chesney, then an orphan, studied for the stage; but her beauty was of too refined acharacter to b2 admired at the footlights, and she was too petite, young and inexperienced to be successful. Since that time she bas been teaching at a Kindergarten sehcol, and giving private lessons in music and the languages. She is a thorough lady, ard Mr. Hatch is to be envied of his prize.— F.om a Washington Le: NOMIXATIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS.— The President sent to the Senate yesterday the following nominations: W. W.

Continned by a narrative of his jw t moments and sufferings, ned from his fainhful sercante, Chama and Si By Horace Waller, F. R.G.S8. New York: Harper & Bros. {Through J.C. Parker.| It is interesting to know from the introiuc- tion of this important work that, despit? all the casualties and dangers of African explor- ation not a break occurs in the narrative given in Livingstone’s own hand from the time of his departure from Zanzibar in the beginning of 1866 to the day when his note- book droy from his hand in the village of Halu at the end of April, 1873. The elitor, Dr. Waller, an old personal friend of Living- stone's to whom the latter confided this work, seems to have executed his task with jalg- ment. He has not “edited” the journals of the great oxplorer out of all their original flavor, but las allowed the doctor to tell his own story, even where, as in nelaling fortion, there are too many evidences that disease and exhaustion had sapped not only hix vital powers, but clouded his minj. The notes are not too profuse and really serve the purpose of enlightening the text, which notes do 1 ot always do. As the editor well says the render among these pages has an ena rars de richesse. To sollow anexplorer who by his individual exertions has filled up a grea space in the map ot Africa, who has not only been the first to set foot’on the shores of great iniand seas, but who, with the simple appliances of his bodily stature for a sound- ing-pole and his stalwart st for a moa suring-tepe, lays down new rivers by the hundreds, is a task calculated to stagger bim.

[Through Jos Shillington.] Though nominally the work of Theodore Martin, it is apparent that much of the ma- terial is supplied by the Qneen herself, and it is probable that she has had no little to do with its direct composition. Uader the cir cumstances, the frankness and fullness with which the book deals with European politics and the social and political history of Prince Albert’s time is creditable to the goo1 sense of the royal author. And though the memoir of the Prince is laudatory, the reasous for that good opinion are set forth on grounds that appeal to the judgment. Still, one can- not help feeling that with all his goojne: and discretioa the Prince Cousort was some- what of aprig. And this impression is pro- Cuced largely by his own letters. The lette~ Written by the Cueen, on the other hand. are thoroughly womanly, as well as thoughtfal and serve to present her ina very amlable light, The volume affords, in a pleasant and unaffected way, considerable insight into the household life, and familiar inter- cour.e of the royal personages of Europe, aod is thus a contribution to the literature of the day of considerable Importance. oe ee be Done With the Cap.

SPECIAL SESSION OF THE SENATE. SATURDAY, March 13. The resolution for the admission of Mr. Pinehback was proceeded with. Mr. Edmunds moved to amend by inserting after the word “ be” after “not,” so that the resolution will real: Resolved, That P. B. 8. Pinchback be not admitted as a Sen- @tor from Louisiana. Mr. Thurman said Mr. Morton had quoted from his remarks on the Goldthwaite case with a view to establish a precedent for the a¢mi-sion of Pinchback. cireumstances of the case were, however, entirely diffrent. There was no question as to the legislature which elected Mr. Goldthwaite; itwas known to be the legal legislature of the state of Ala- bama, and there was no question as to Mr. Goléthwaite himself. Proceeding in his ar ument, Mr. T. ridiculed the idea of Mr irchback’s case being a prima facie one. He reviewed the evidence taken in 1873 before the Committee on Privileges and Electioas and cited the report of the majority of that committee. He said that Mr. Morton's spoee had been made over and over again, and coa tained nothing but repetition. He then main- tained that the Senate in its action in this case was not to ve bound by the action of any one or any tribunal. The decision of the Supreme Court can bina this Senate when it is adjudicating upon the case of. f its own menibers. He held that so far from the ac- tion of the President having any binding ef- fect on the Senate or upon Congress. it is the action of Congress which binds the Presitent. Mr. Morton said the Senator from Ohio (Thurman) had been guilty of a discourtesy, which was rare with that Senator, of accus- ing bim (Mr. M.) of being wanting in and igrorant of the law. Mr. M. then claimed that Mr. Thurman had himself by his cita- tens and deductions proved his own igaor- arce of law.

John Wright Roberts, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church in Liberia, is announced. He was the suce>s- sor of Bishop Burns, and both were colored men. They were not bishops with full pow- ers, but were elected simply to exercise Epi coral supervision over the Liberia mission it being impracticable to send a bishop fram the United States ev: ry year to be at the Li- beria conference. Bishop Roberts entered the ministry in the Liberia mission ¢nfer- ence in 188, and was received into full con- nection in 184. He was secretary of the conference several years, and after the death of Bishop Burns succee led him as bishop. He was a native of Virginia. He had a son who entered the conference in 1874, but died before the close of the year, at the age of26. The bishop was a man of high character for picty and integrity, and a good administrator. THE Wrone CovPLe Divorcep.—Upon motion the cecree in the divorce case of Jalia Ann Miller agt. Charles H. Miller, granted by the Gor court last week, was reopened, when {t was ascertained that a singular mistake had occurred by reason of @ very.curious coincidence. There are en- tered upon the docket two cases of divorce, one following the other, and one is entitled Julia Ann Miller agt. Charlies H. Miller, and the other Charles H. Miller agt. Julia Ann Miller, and the —— in the first case are different from those in the occasioned the the v4 t id whicn was 184 or 185 with Mr. Tilton, in which was mentioned; he asked me it I had seen his wife, anal rot, he said I wou! disappointed in 5 Woman, and not a woman of culture—that he had married her young; he said he told me this so that I could appreciate the difference both after I saw her; I know iver Johrson, and persuaded Mr. Beecher toeemploy him; it was not in con anythiig Tilton said to me that ston was employed on the Christian Union; Isimply waite! a good managing editor on that paper; this was the ouly mode by which Mr. Jobnsion came to be employed on that puper. The witness here identifiel a slip which was taken from the columns of the Christian Union as being written by him, aud not by Mr. Beecher, and continued: I knew of the publication of the tripartite agreeneut so far as itwas published; I am the party who was instrameutal in its pabli- cation, and | am not aware that Mr. Beecher ki.ew anything about it. ON CROSS-£XAMINATION witness testified :—I thought ume wonld come when Beecher aud his friends would get tired of paying money to the Golden Age Lewspaper to Suppress these scandais against the greatest man and preacher of his age.

I cannot reeail the allegations maie in the personal statement of Tilton regard- ing the relations between Mrs. Tiltos and Beecher. I think it only coutained a rela- tion of stories told by Bowen against Beecher.

I told him Mrs. Stanton had told me that Beecher bad committed alultery with Mrs. Tilton, and that Miss Anthony nal told her Mrs. Tilton had confesset the a.lalte: her. Mr. Tilton said tnat M'ss Anthoay @ morbid old maid, and her inind wasalways dwelling on morbid subjects. The letter of April 2, 18:2, from witness to Moulton, was identified by him and read by Mr. Beach. It calls for the destruction of Mr. Beecher's let- ter of apology which was in bis session. The witness resamest: I publisty this tri- partite agreemeut in connection with my partner, Rdward L. Ford. I did not coafer with any other person about it. I am quite sure I did not converse with Mr. Cleveland about it. When I resolved todo it and put the thing in motion, I had no conference with any about it. The — poritons of the covenant that I think I published were those of Bowen and Tilton. I did not pab- lish Mr. Beecher’s ‘tion or the personal statement that followed. I am a firm be- liever in Beecher's innocence from the first, and an ardent defender of him. I had fre- quent discussions, in which I vin ticatsdhim when I bad an opportunity. When I pre- pared the tripartite agreement in the form in which I — it, I gave it to Horace B. Claflin. I made one copy of it at the tim: of the preparation of the draft. I was prssent at the examination of Mr. Beeclier befure the church committee. THE “HIGHER THAN A KITE” CONVERSA- 1 TION. Mr. Evarts asked the witness as to the con- versation which led to the remark that the publication of these charges woull k wck the “Life of Christ” higher than a kite. Witness said: Mrs. Stanton and others were present in the room, and in reply war Inquiry from one of the youager sisters, I re- plied, “If these charges are trae and are male of course the ‘Life of Cullis’ will go nigher than a kite.” (The witness here raised his rightarm and at the word kite snappet his finger and thumb in ihe alr.) He thea con. Unued: I think I made this gesture when ut- tering the remark; I understood Mr. Tilton when he said to me that improper advances had been made to his wife to mean improper proposals; between the time of my planning the publication of the a: ment and its actual publication I think Mr. Cleveland saw me twice al it it; he objected to its publica- ton; my object in publishing this agreement was to stop the persecution of this great and man and wanted to see the thing in the courts, where it onght to be. FDWARD EGGLESTON was next called. He testified am an thor, clegyman and editor; [ reside in Broo! lyn; I was associated with Tilton as elitor of the Independent, but retired from paper in July, tort. In is7 I became ae- qguainted with Tilton by sight; I met Mr. Beecher about the same time, bat oaly be- came intimately acquainted with him daring the past three or four years. In the fall of 1868 or the spring of 1869 I was a guest at Mr. Tilion’s house; I was talking to them about Mr. Beecher, and Mrs. Tilton asked m2if I knew him; I said slightly, and she asked me to go to Page's studio with her and make his acquaintance on the next day. Mr. Tilton objected, as he thought Mr. er would not like to be disturbed. not go. On one occasion, at Tilton’s house, when I was present, a certain lady was also there, and Tilton’s attentions to her were the subject of rernarks. I remember making a subsequent call at the house.
