Thomson, filed a bill for divorce from her husband, Frederick Thomson. She states that on the 2th of July, 1874, she filed a bill setting forth that under her maiden name of Carpenter (daughter of the late Deos Carpenter) she was married to defendant by Rev. Dr. Rankin, porweney 1870. She then charged him with being habitually drunken, disorderly, prodi- al. and violent in his habits and conduct, freatin her with great ook. &e. On the 2d of October, 1875, she was divorced, and an allowance of alimony was made. She states in the present bill that during the pendency of the suit he returned to her and apologising for his past deeds, and giving assurances of doing beter they ved eae from November Ist, 1874, until April, 1575, when he finally deserted her. She charges that in Jan- uary, 1875, he drove her out of the house and sat ln the window with a gun, compelling her to remain out in one of the coldest periods of winter; that in February, 1375, he took her by the throat and threatened to kill her: that in April, 1875, he drew a knife and threatened te kill her; that their child, seeing this, screamed, “Pa! pa! don't kill mamma!” and the little one nearly going into spasms, he desisted, and, saying he Would kill himself, he went to the looking-glass, opened his shirt, and the knife littered, but he suddenly turned, anfl, saying 1¢ Would go to the bath-room an ; and Mr. King dect: to finish him- he was threw her c.; and finally, in down, kicked her, 1, by | wrong with the putts neounter | “I | out his consent, and did not want to be. mi | inst found the symptoms of poisoning in this cas ble | similar to those in the other cases, and adigin istered antidotes. .

The sub-committee of the Sehate committee on appropriations investigating the manage- | ment of the Freedman’s hospital continued its investigation today. Dr. Augusta, (formerly of the hospital,) the first witne said he was ealled entirely ‘with- up in the investigation. He severed his eon- nection with the hospital last June. He testi- | fied as follow: When I first went to the hospital, in 1875, had to pre it myself for the Satur ppeesions were a_ fares ‘d through the wards without pay t- tention to anything except to oceasionally look at a patient or a water closet; some of the wards were clean and some were dirty: one female ward attended by Dr. Palmer and two male wards attended by Dr. Purvis and Dr. Glennan smelled very badiy; the edors were very offensive; oftén the water closets were in bad condition and leaky: this stat of affairs existed up to the time’I left, Inever thought thatthe colored patients had justice done them; I prescribed for outdoor patients; one colored girl was poor, and had no place to stay with syphil let to reeeive in a park ne in for treat- 1a girlsuffering : She was frightfully afflict diseases ; Dr. Palmer refu | from a similar disease was kept in the hospital for three months, and earefully treated: I thought this was unfair discrimination; drunken men picked up in the streets ne hospilal were cared for: one eolored man because he hot taken to Dr. Pur where he could have proper tr cause the patient was in a dirty The patient then went on to reiate an nee where Dr. Purvis used the most horrible crueity toward a woman in. child- birth, from the results of which the woman died. Witness was dropped from the roils of use of reduced approp ical service of the hospital; ap ‘cretary of the Interior for the posit of surgeon-in-chief beeause he understood that a change was to be made in the man- agement of the hospital; Dr. Goerner said to witness that he wanted to get back in the hos. pital; Dr. Goerner said. fe had informa ‘ion against the hospital which he intended to have published, which wonld lead to an investiga- oi § attended some of the impromptu meetings at O. 8.

The District in Congress. BILL TO PAY THE INTEREST ON THE 3.65 BONDS. Wi ment, adition. The bill which Mr. Sayler will report from the ways and means committee to prevent | default or delay in the payment of the interest on the 3-65 bonds of the District of Columbia, provides that in order to carry. out the pledge upon the part of the United States in section 7 of the act of Congress, approved June 20th. 1874, entitled “An act for the government of the District of Columbia and for other pur- oses.” and in order to prevent default or de- laysin the peymerr of the interest on the bonds authorized by said act, which interest is by au act approved Febri 2uth, 1875, amending said act of June 20th, 1874, made payable at the Treasury of the United States. the Seere. tary of the Treasury is hereby authorized and directed to pay the interest on said bonds When and as the same shall mature, at thi Treasury of the United States, and at the office of the Assistant, Treasurer in New York. To reimburse the United States, the Commission. ers of the District or their successors are by directed to transfer to the United States Treasury on or before the loth day of June of each year the sums adv: 1 for the payment of the semi-annual inter due on said bonds from any revenues ict subject to their requisition.” a vier has not yet prepared his report on the bill. He holds, however, that the United States is committed to the payment of the in- terest and principal of the bonds, and will make a speech in the House urging that the arprepriation for the interest be made annu- ally upon estimates submitted by the District Commissioners or their successors, through the Secretary of the Treasury. Card from Mr. King, of Va. Editor Star:—Yoy refer in reports of Virginia Conferencéto difficulties in which I involved. Now, Sir, the matters alleged were investigated more than a year ago by the Ecclesiastical courts, and they were not sus tained. The Conference has no right to make any references to them now. As to “location,” that is my business, and not theirs. When I am prepared to make a request to this effect they can grant it or not as they may elect. ‘They have no more right to advise me than I have them. I have done and suffered much for the church in Virginia, and am only sorry Ihave not been able to do more. As tothe extent of our respective usefulness, I guess we had better leave this to God. If others have been able to do more than myself, I am glad of it. God bless them. It was an old enemy of years standing who is said to be the author of the action referred to. As to the allegations of “insanity,” made by one of the speakers, it only shows like the rest, they know not what they do, or if they do, all the worse for them. Tam not in a condition to do more for the church thanI am doing. As to any insinua- tions about my character or manner of life, it is base falseheod and slandei C.

The daughter was considered out of danger, but the wile and her mother are in a critical con- tion. IN THE ARGUMENT over the excise Dill at Albany, Mr. Jones, of Oneida, aged 70, arose and declared that he had beenasteady drinker for over fifty years; that he had great-graud- children, and if the legislature would continue to allow him his grog, he expected to see his great-great-grandchildren. It is sad to see such longevity combined with such principles. It ishighly probable that this aged man smokes and chews tobacco, and, for all we know, plays short-cards with the lobbyists. JUMPED AN IcE CHASM.—One day last week, while trout fishing near the mouth of the bay, Henry Hanson was about two miles from the shore, busily engaged in hauling in some fine specimen of fish, when a brisk wind arose and carried the ice field upon which he was at work out into Green bay. Upon becoming aware of his peril, Henry made a bee line for a spot on the field where the gap appeared to be of the least width, drawing with him the sled used in hauling his lines, fish, &c. Fasten- ing. a rope to the sled, he threw the remainder of the coil over to the firm ice. and then took a running jump across the chasm. He did not stop to measure the distance, but thinks it was ten or twelve feet; and though he expected to take a cold bath, he fortunately landed ‘in safety, hauled his sled across the opening, and concluded that he didn’t care much for trout fishing, any how.—[Sturgeon Bay Advocate, It 1s A Sap Fact that Mrs. Abraham Lin- coln, the widow of the late President Lincoln, is living a secluded life in an interior town in fest she nay again be placed in a lunatierasy. lest she may again be pI lum.
