BANCKOFT’S ADDRESS. ‘The address of welcome by Hon. George Ban- croft was eloquent and thoughtful. It was listened to with profound interest, He referred to the pursuit of the historian as one of the grandest that solicit the attention of man. Ap- plying the theory of history to our own nation, he sketched rapidly the growth of our govern: ment. ‘The singular combination of the best elements of “the past in our institu. tions, he said, favored our increase ot territory. When the only ___ irresistible cause of antagonism in our country was removed, there ceased to be any cause of dis- sent between the north and the south. There never was and there never can be collision between the west and the east, for they both alike wish the highways Letween the oceans to be free, and by universal consent for the in- habitants trom the remotest point where Maine touches Canada to the southwestern line of California, irom the orange groves of Florida to the strait where the Pucitic ocean drives its deep tide swiftly between its wails of basalt, there is the one simple rule of inter-citizensip, and universal (ree-trade under government of the people by the people. ‘The people of the United States are the most conservative in the world, for they cherish selfgovernment as the must precious of pos- sessions. ‘They make laws deliberately only afcer long reflection, and they only make laws ‘within the iumits of their constitutions.

CHANGES IN THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S TES ‘TIMONY. ‘The chairman suspended the examination to call attention to the statements made in the New York Tribune, alleging that the official report of Attorney General Gurland’s testi- mony showed important omissions. He said he had yesterday been requested by the At- torney General tosupply the omissions as noted in the Tribune. ‘The Attorney General had ad- dressed a letter to him (the chairman) on the day following his examination for submission tothe comtnittee, correcting his testimony #0 as to make it appear that he had returnea to Washington eurly in September, 1885, instead of November, as reported. ‘Mr, Ranney called attention to what he sald were numerous changes in the phraseology. ‘The reporter, Mr. Linney, stated that he had subinitied tho report to the AWorney General: he did not know that it was against the rules of the committee. Some of the changes in phrase- ology had been made by himself, and some by the Attorney General. ‘The Attorney General had struck Out two or three questions and in- serted the correction touching his return to tho (city, of Washington inthe, year 1885.

The witness did not know that any officer of the government or member of Congress had been connected with the original companies, or held stock at the present time in the National Bell company. Mr. Hanney had telegraphed Mr, Hadson, the neral manager ‘company, ny fox ove the stock list to ascertain if his (Mr. Mathe ghalrmien, Upon Air, Ranney's request, 1 ‘chairm: . directed the witness to tell all he knew of the matter, and he proceeded to slate’ that Mr. ‘Hudson had replied that the stock list showed Mr. Ranney’s name as ider; that was several yearsago, and he was no longer a stock- holder. So far as witness knew no member of Congress now held stock in the company.

Schneider) might use it asa text for a sermon and teach a lesson from it, “The news- Papers have published all along,” said Mr. Schneider, “statements to indicate that Som- merfield is a hardened wretch.

There is not ® particle of truth in it, and 1 do not see how it ever originated. It was Miss Folsom's intention: to announce the engagement in due time the wedding, but to her, as well as the family, the premature statements concerning It are a great surprise, Ax I have said, there were but a iow who Were let into the secret, and some one was evidently unable to hold it, At last accounts Miss Folsom was enjoying the best of health, She enjoyed the visit to Italy very much, the only drawback being her mother’ illness in Genoa, where she was taken down with a fever.

She Was entirely unassuming in manner, possessing none of the conceit aud hauteur of which 80 many young ladies are victinus.” THE ENGAGEMENT, “Do you know at what time thelr engage ment took place?” ‘No, Ido not,” said Mr, I: “She would, no doubt,tell me were I to ask her, but itis, as'you may realize, a delicate matter even for an uncle, and a loved one, as I believe Tam, to touch upon.
