Secretary Bristow has directed that the new revenue steamer to be used in the bay and harbor of San Francisco shall be called the John F Hartley, in honor of the late Assistant Sec- retary of the Treasury. IT IS UNDERSTOOD that Wm. O. Avery chief clerk of the Treasury department, resigned, to take effect on the 30th inst., an that he is to be succeeded by Capt. C. C. Ad- ams. the appointment clerk, who has been recalled from Europe to assume the posi- tion. COMMISSIONS St ‘D.—The President has signed the following commissions: S. B.

Haskell, to be postmaster at Portage, Wi Benjamin Conley, to be postmaster at At lanta, Ga. ional bank tosecure public de- AN IMPRESSION prevails in financial cir- cles that the $30,000,009 called bonds for the sinking fund, which fell due yesterday, may be exchanged for or turned into the Treasury in payment for new fives. This is not the case. Secretary Bristow says they can only be redeemed in coin, and are not exchanze- ble for any other species of government se- curities.

At the last meeting of the National Grange, in Charieston, the executive committee was charged with se ng a new site, the re- moval to take place within six months from March Ist last, and they have finally fixcd upon Louisville as being the most desirable fey on account of its central location. The neadquarters of the order have been in the District of Columbia since its organization in Isex. THE Stoux Commission.—The following are the gentlemen who have thus far been appointed on commission to visit the Xx. and who have accepted the positions ndered:—Hon. Wim. B. Allison, Gen. Terry, commanding the federal forces in Dacotat,} Hon. Abram Comingo. (ex-member of Con- gress.) Bishop Havens, (of Georgia.) Rev. S. 1). Hinman, and Gen. Frank W. Palmer, M. C.,and managing editor of the Chi! KO Inter-Occun.) It bas not yet been de- cided whether the commission shall be lim- ited to six members or not, and it is possible that two or three more may be appointed. GotnG HoME IN StyLe.—When the In- dian chiefs left here the last request made by them was that tney should be farnished with horses to ride home. The Commission- er of Indian affairs did not think it world be proper or expedient to gratify them. Bat yesterday orders were telegraphed to the nijan agent at Omaha to purchase horses | and equipments, to be handed over to the chiefs on their arrival at Cheyenne, to. make rest of their journey home. This conces- sion, it is expected, will perhaps have some in furthering the negotiations for the acquisition of the Biack Hills country. CROOKED WHISKEY IN BALTIMORE.—In- structions have been sent to the proper of- ficers in Baltimore ordering lezal proceedings to be commenced against over 100 of the 100 barrels of whisky shipped to that city from the west, and deiained by the collector of the third internal revenue district of Maryland to await investizations. The whisky was nearly all in transit at the time the illicit distillery res were made in the west some weeks azo. About 150 barrels of it have been released, nothing irregular being found. Over 200 barrels of the whisky yet re- sain in {he hands of the government au- thorities for disposi. It is stated that the tekages to be proceated against have been Tound to have an thent stamps which wel @ used a second time.

After our telegraphic report of the argu ment of Mr. Beach in the Tilton-Boecher trial closed, yesterday, counsel read from. Tiiton’s testimony in regard to stories he was told by Bowen about Beecher's adulte- ries, and asked why Bowen was not ques- tloned upon this wien on the stand, and sald that when it was not contradicted it was to te taken as true. One thing we know, said counsel, was that Elizabeth K. Tilton loved, aye almost worshipped, Henry Wari Beecher, for that was confessed. She was a p-culiar lady, of strangely emotional charac- ter, Beecher says an inspirational woman. Beecher was her pastor, but she recognized no Wrong except in the life of deceit she had been leading, and there was nothing in this to oppose the likelihood of Mr. Beecher being told by her that she had informed her hus- bind of their relations. Would it have been ireonsistent in Mrs. Tilton saying that her friendship for Mr. Beecher began in love and ENDED IN SEXUAL INTERCOURSE? Tilton told this to Beecher ia his own way of this confession of his wife. After alluding to charges against Tilton by Evarts and Por- ter. which, he said, had been refated, he al- luded to the impression Mr. Beecher hal made in England when the question of lib- erty and slavery was trembling in the bal- ance, and the fact that notwithstanding Eng. land's sympathy with the south, and the insults he suffered at home, Beecher nobiy kept on his mission. Because of this and be- cause England would laugh, Mr. ‘ts did not want the jury to conviet Mr. Beecher. If the jury were to be controlled by such intia- ences as these, God help American institu- tions and justice. Applause. A QUESTION OF VERACITY. Mr. Beach then said that the counsel for defence had never denied the charge of im- proper solicilations. Here Mr. Porter said he could not permit counsel tostate a falsehood, and asked “when have we admitted the guilt of improper so- licitations.” Mr. Beach replied that his Jearned friend put their friendship toa ten- sion when he accused him of falsehood. Mr. Porter stated that he was astounded that Mr. Beach should say they admitted the gulltof improper solicitations. Judge Neil- son stated that he understood Mr. Beach to say that the charge of improper advances had not been denied. Mr. Beach angrily re- pelled the accusation that he had stated a falsehood, and said he would not take that from any man. BEECHER’S WARD SURE. In closing the argument for the day Mr. each, in speaking of Mr. Beacher, said Te will get ju and Henry Wari a fitting reward. Mr. Beecher il great attention to Mr. Beach during his delivery, and frequently Jaughed at his jokes, but when any direct at- tack was made upon himself he buried his attention in the colamus of a newspaper. Mrs. Beecher followed the counsel with evi- dent interest, though her features were eon- tracted with a scornful expression. Among those present ou the bench was Senator Morton, of Indian. What Carpenter Knows About the Scanda Mr. F. B. Carpenter, the artist, has been interviewed by a reporter of a ‘New York ptper as to what he knows about the Beecher scandal. He mentions the names of Dr. Storrs, Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Orton, Samuel Wilkenson and others as knowing of the scandal before the Woodhull publication. Sam. Wilkenson and Oliver Johnson, ac- cording to his statement, had been told'that Mr. Beecher was accused of adultery, and Oliver Johnson said he knew Mr. Beecher had been AN AWFUL SINNER WITH WOME: The most damaging portion of the statement is Carpenter's account of what occurred in Tilton’s house at the time Mrs. Tilton wrote the note accusing Mr. Beecher of im- proper solicitations. Here is the story in Carpenter's own worls, as given by the in- lerviewer:—I now come back to the iéth of December. I have said, 1 passed the night of the 15th at Mr. Til house. Next morning, after breakfast, I was in the back parlor w Mrs. Tilton, when Mr. Tilton came in and said, + Elizabeth, we have just fifteen minutes to meet the appointment at Dr. Storrs’ study.” It was my first intima- tion that Mrs. Tilton was to accompany hirn to Dr. Storrs’. Mrs. Tilton apparently shrauk from the interview. Pitying her position, and out of delicacy for her feelings, I said) “ Theodore, «lon’t ask her to go. Can’t she write something instead of going in person ?” Mr. Tilton acceded, and Mrs. Tilton, so far as 1 could see, voluntarily went into another room,out of my sight, leaving Mr. Tilton and myself together. Before she went out of the reom she said “| HOW CAN I EXPRESS IT?” Mr. Tilton replied, “You can put in this way,” suggesting the opening sentence of the letter Which has now become familiar. Mrs. Tilton left the room, and I thought she went Up stairs. She was gone, perhaps, twenty minutes. When she returned she had the completed letter in ber hand. She handed it to Mr. Tilton, who cead it, and said, “Eliza. beth, you have stated it with exceeding deli- cac better than I could have done.” This expression of Mr. Tilton on receiving the letter from his wife I remember with dis- tinctness. This account is ia direct coutra- diction of Mrs. Tilton’s statement to Mr. Beecher’s committee, which I read with es tonishment; but I can do no less than state what I know to be truth. I was present during the entire interview with Dr. Storrs.
