A. M. Gibson, of the New York Sun, to go to New Orleans for a specific purpose, He was furnished with a brief containing an analysis of the Louisiana election laws, at the same time be- ing informed that the laws had been violated, and intimation was given him as to who the persons were that could prove this tact, He did not intend to convey the impression that he was in any way connected with the sub-committee, which was nat the case, his duties being entirely within the pe of the brief referred to. New Orleans, however, Weber requested him to t in corroborating his (Weber's) statement. This he assented to. Attor Dula’s testi- mouy had been taken witness was satisfied there had been'a job put up on Weber, and consequently ad- vised him not to examine any more witnesses, but addox) do it. He then interviewed certain and gave the points of their testimony to Mr. He never had any dealings direct with the en of to Mr. Gibson.

Mr. Blackburn further examined. the witness reta- | tive to the St. Martin aflidavit, Every chi braced therein upon which witness was questioned was denied, especially that referring to Maddox as having offered St. Martin money to return home. He said he never had offered St. Martin any inducement to leave the city. In repiy to a question relative to what the relations between Weber and St. tin were, Maddox said Weber had told him in New Orleans that he antici- pated personal violence and had brought St. Martin with him as x protection, adding that he was a friend of his,and was devoted to him, and_ in such an event he cohsidered that St. Martin would be of great as- sistance to him. MADDOX'R CROSS-EXAMINATION. On the cross examination by Mr. Cox the wit- ness stated:—Had not resided im New Orleans since before the war; had been Kg ee some mouths prior to and after his visit to New Orleans by Mr. Gibson in matters of business, as also in con- fection with the correspondence of the New York Sun; never received any compensation for his ser- vices in New Orleans other than $5 per day tor After his arrival Gibson. committee, but gave the memoranda spok his actual expenses; he telt a deep interest in the proceedings of ‘the investigation and was desirous of going to New Orleans for many reasons; is still interested in certain matters with Mr. Gibson; among others the prepara- tion of miuterial for a book, which he expects Mr. Gibson to tike hold ot for him: he received from $190 to $200 during his trip to Now Orleans, and he had no knowledge that the funds were advanced by anyone other than the proprietors of the Sun; he u- derstood that that journal was disposed to pay for any matter of information that would disclose the perpetration of traud in the late election; Mr. Gib- son never told witness that money had been advanced him by any other parties to be ied in the course of the investiga he was furnished the names of parties who had been charged with the violation of the registration laws, and the names of others whocould prove the facts in the document given him by Mr. Gibson previous to his departure, as heretofore men- tioned as “the briet,” and under which he was act- ing; his connection with Weber after arriving there was purely accidental; never saw Mr. Gibson in con- versation with the democratic mombers of the com- mittee; did not know that he wag on especially inti- mate terms with them, but supposed he had con- siderable interest in the case; he denied that the outcome of the investigation as conducted in New Orleans was attributable to his en- deavors to secure witnesses; he admitted that. tne facts of witnesses’ testimony were noted by him previous to their going on tho stand, ond ®mem- oranda of the same being in every case delivered to Mr. Gibson; he supposed that ‘said memoranda would reach the committee, however. NO NEGOXIATIONS WITH WEBER. Witness testified unreservedly that he knew of no negotiations having been entered into to secure the testimony of Mr. Weber while he was ih Washington; he had never paid him anything, and had no reason to believe that he received money while here; so far as he knew, the statement made by Mr. St. Martin, to the effect that Weber received a certain amount of money for testifying, was without foundation. Withess was examined at length regarding the'tele- ns Sent by Representative Ackien und Mx. St. Mar- whieh the er case Was spoken of, it bein; Mentioned as the case (referring to the Schoo Boxrd difficulty), and asserted very emphatically that he did not then believe, nor did he yet believe, that Weber had anything to do with those telegrams, it being lus impression that it was a blackmailing scheme ot St. Martin. Witness did not believe that money was used to in- fluence the testimony of witnesses in New Orleans he relieved Mr. Weber of the duty of interviewing witnesses previous to their going on the stand be- cause he thought others would probably treat him (Weber) as Data had, Mr. Cox examined the witness very closely with re- gard to the.statements made in the ‘St.’ Martin affida- vit, almost every charge contuined therein reflectin a the w.tness being denied without hesitation.

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Feb. 5.) Coremavs, Ohio, Feb. 4, 1879. Senator Thurman arrived in this city last night from Washington on matters of purely a business character, and has been hard at work in his office all day, so that the politicians had next to no oppor- tunities to talk with him on matters of statesman- ship and policy. He is looking in robust heaith and says he vever felt better in his life than he does now. His appearance gives the lie to all talk of bis being in declining health, and if any of his opponents, either in or out of bis own party, count on his bein, left out of the coming campaign’ beatse of physi infirmity they will be greatly mistaken. In a conyprsation with your correspondent, which he protest must not be taken or regarded as au in- terview, the Senator expressed confidence in the ability of the democracy to win the fight in Ohio this year. He believes that it will be a: big contest, be- cause Ohio holds so important a position in regard to the national campaign of 1880; but still he has no doubt of the result. One point he referred to was the necessity of the democrats going into the muni- cipal election in Cincinnati this spring with ticket autl a actermination to win. democratic v: nn Creinnati this lieves, would to re to. spring, he be- ( immense advantage to the party when the fall election comes on. When asked as to whether he might not yet recon- sider his determination not to be a candidate for Governor, he answered with earnestnt No.” His decision was irrevocable, and on no ition what- ever would he accept the nomination. ,He could not im justice to the other candidates who desired the uomination; nor could he in justice to himeelf, when his appearance on the State ticket, if he stioald chance to be nominated, would be the signal for op- posing forces fr: ¢ Kast, which would be strained to secure his def reby hoping to cripple him in any future ambitions he might have. ie iooks back with satisfaction wpon his labors in the campaign of lust year, and says that in the elec- tion of eleven democratic Congressmen ot only saved the democracy in case the Presidential choice should fail into the House of Represontatives, but also saved the organization of the House itself. He had been criticised by some of his friends when he came ont here last spring aud urged the redistrict- ing ef the State, but subsequent events had shown him that that was @ wise political move, Had Ohio sent a dolegation of fourteen republicans and six democrats, a8 she most assuredly would have done . 4 districting, the repnblicans would have Leen abie to organive the House and turn the tables on the democratic Sonate as soon as it should get into power.

DETAILS OF PROPOSED CHANGES, The Census Bill as Passed by the Senate. POLITICAL FEATURES OBJECTED TO. Provision for the Payment of Ar- rears ‘of Pensions. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Waserxaton, Feb, 6, 1879, ARREARS OF PENSIONS—THE HOUSE APPRO- PRIATIONS COMMITTEE CONSIDERING THE MEANS OF PAYMENT—BILL TO BE REPORTED. The question of providing for the payment of arrearages of pensions is still under consideration by the House Committee on Appropriations, It is un- derstood that a proposition will be made from the committee to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to reissue $33,000,000 of legal tenders of the amount now retired from circulation. Congressman Ewing, of Ohio, will endeavor to secttre a suspension of the rules on Monday next for the cunsideration of a bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to re- issue the entire amount of rotiréd legal tencers up to the original limit of $40,000,000, ‘The action of the Senate Committee on Finance to- day, in voting in favor of the House bill reducing the tax on tobacco, it is ‘said will be approved by the Senate, the representatives of the tobacco trade who are in Washington hav- ing assurances of a majority in favor of the bill. The passage of tnis bill would still further reduce the revenues of the government and make it necessary to provide in some way for the payment of pension arrearages, The amount required for this latter purpose is now put down at $33,000,000, and a member of the House Committee on Appro- priations said to-night that in all probability the measure above mentioned would be reported by the committee. THE SENATE CENSUS BILL. ‘The Census bill passed by the Senate to-day differs from that already introduced in the House by a few but.important particulars. The chief of these is the provision giving the appointment of the takers of the census to the Secretary of the Interior and the creation of a census bureau in the Intetior De- partment, which features are likely to moet with the active ‘hostility of the democrats in the House, for the reason thet. such a bureau would, in the Presidential election year of 1880, give # republican administration vast political patronage. As the bill limits the minimum of pop- ulation to 3,000 for each enumeration the Secretary of the Interior would have the appointment, of WASHINGTON. | NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1879--TRIPLE SHEET. eral thousend miners, who have made locations, and into the hands of a few wealthy corporations and other combinations of individuals, to the great injury of the community, Ho has, therefore, introduced and will urge for passage to-day's bill, which provides in regard to all mineral lodes located in Colorado since January 1, 1876, or here- zontal or has an averaye dip not exceeding 40 degrees, the locaters shall not be permitted to follow the lode outside of the vertical limits of the surface boundary lines, even if the apex of the lode les outside of such vertical lines.

Mr. Sherman hes furnished a full copy of his per- Sonal letter to Mr. Arthur in respect to the son of Justice Bradley, which was read in the Senate, and said that, in a comparatively few cases, and mainly at the instance of gentlemen of great distinction, who might not care to have their requests for office put upon the public records, he wrote personal letters. He did not think it honorable in Mr. Arthur, or fair to these gentlemen, to disclose such letters, but so far as he (Mr. Sherman) was concerned he would under the circumstances rather have them published, He said that if he heard of any other personal letters of his, disclosed by Mr. Arthur, he would promptly publish them, and not allow them come out through the cloak of a secret session Wasnincton, Jan. 18, 1978, of the Sonate, } ° {Personal.} Dean Srr—I inclose a letter from Mr. Justice Bradley, of the Supreme Cqprt, stronyly recommend- ing his son for a position iff the Custom House.

It proposes the completion of the Red River and Mississippi Rail- road and the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicks- burg Railroad; gives lands to these companics, and authorizes them, together with the Texas and Pacific Railroad Company, to severally issue registered or coupon bonds to the extent of $25,000 per mile? the payment of which is to bo se- cured by a first mortgage. ‘The bonds are to be paid in fifty years, in coin, and the interest half yearly, also in coin, at the rate of five per cent per annum. The Secretary of the Treasury is required to indérse the bonds. . The object of the bill is to secure a road from Vicksburg and New Orleans, via Shreveport and El Paso, to the Pacific coast, NOMINATIONS BY THE PRESIDENT—RETIRING CONGRESSMEN PROVIDED FoR. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day :— Martin I. Townsend-to be United States Attorney for the Northern district ‘of New York. N. P.

The House bill gives their appointment to the Governors of the States. The old law, which is still in force and would operate in the event of a failure on the part of Congress to repeal or amend it, gives the census taking to the United States marshals and their deputies, special or regular, and the retention of this feature will be urged on the ground thst these officers are familiar with their districts and are ready and at hand, besides being under bonds for the faithful discharge of their duties, while the new law will call into.existence fora short and spasmodic effort early fifteen thousand officials of questionable responsibility and capacity for so exacting a work. ‘The subject will be thoroughly debated in the special order of Saturday next. THE HUNTON-ALEXANDER DIFFICULTY—No. IN- DICTMENT FOUND BY THE DISTRICT GRAND JURY. The Grand Jury of the Districtof Columbia have declined to find an indictment against Congressman Epps Hunton for sending Mr. Columbus Alexander a challenge. They came into court to-day and Judge Wylic, having thanked them for the faithful per- formance of the duties assigned them, discharged them from further service. This closed their con- nection with the challenge case. It is under- stood that they took the ground that the offence was committed in Virginia, beyond the juris- diction of the jury. In regard to the posting, it was heid that it also was done in Virginia. The copy seen in this city was brought from Alexandria, Va., by @ gentleman who had been to that city the day tho poster was seen here. The deliberation in the jury room was of short dnration, the members of the jury seemingly having early made up their minds that there was no case against General Hunton. A vote followed, which stood four for indictment and nineteen for dismisszl. GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. Wasutsctox, Feb. 6, 1879. THE RAVAL INVESTIGATION--REPORTS FROM THE COMMITTEE, The House Committee on Naval Affairs this morn- ing adopted the report presented by Mr. Whitthorno on the Robeson investigation. The report has been very mach modified since originally drawn up. It will be signed by the democratic members. The re- publican members dissent and will submit a mi- nority report. Both reports will be subunitted to the House, ordered to be print! ond recommitted. Two resolutions aro aypemiet to the majority report, the first declaring that the acts and conduct of the late Secretary of the Navy, George M. Robeson, and the chie/s of the bureau since 1872, as shown in this report, and all others aiding and abetting them in the unlawful disposal of public property and money and in the method of making contracts, merit aud should receive the severest con- demnation and censure; and the second, that the report and testimony, with the views ot the minority, be certified by the Clerk of the House to the President, the Secretary of the Navy aud the Attorney General. The minority will take the’ ground that the dix. posal of old inatorial was snctioned by precedent; was within the «pirit of the law, and that the course pursned resulted in a very largo saving to the yov- ernment. LOCATION OF MINERAL VEIXS—PECULIAR LoDrs DISCOVERED IN COLORADO--BILL TO AMEND THY MINERAL LAND LAWS, Tho bill introduced in the Honse of Reprosenta- tives to-day by Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, to amend the mineral land laws, possesses great interest for miners and owners of mines in Colorado, ineluding some of the largest which are controlled by Eastern capitalists, Section 2,422 of the Kevised Statutes pro- vides that the locater of a mincral win may fol- low the vein wherever it leads, even thongh in following it downward it should pass outside of . the limits of his location boundary lines into and across the mining claim of snother. When this section was adopted all known veins or lodes extended downward in an almost ver- } tical line, or, at least, with a very slight dip from thé vertical, Hence but little injury could be done by the law. 4 ‘The late discoveries in Golorado, in the neighbor- hood of Leadville, which are creating #0 much ex- citement, are unlike any previously discovered lodes: in position and stratification. Instead of extending downward in an almost vertical line these new lodes are almost horizontal and extend for miles but @ slight distance under the surface, The first locat- a“ pitel attache! to that prison, McCarty wer serveted tm Chicago yesterday, and Detective Kavi, of Drooklyn Potiee Healqnarters, left for that city inet evening tor the purpose of bringing the peewee Vesk., § Bolicy is still at Liberty, ers now claim that they have the right to follow their lodes, even for milex, Mr, Patterson says if this claim is sustained the entire vant mincraj de- ibseterred to Wilk vase out of tho bauds of sev- James Torrans, United States Marshal for the East- ern district of Arkansas.

Mr. GARFIELD, (rep.) of Ohio, opposed the pending amendment, There were many things in the bill that he approved of, but to revolutionize the organ- ization of the army by adding it on to an appropria- tion bill was the most mischievous method of legis- lation that could be devised. It contained, however, many points of radical change which had made more controversy than any bill that had ever been pro- posed, It was a firebrand of discontent.

Mr. Warrrn of Tennessee, rose to a point of order on the section of the Appropriation bill which provides that every officer who has been thirty years in the service may on his application be placed upon the retired list. Mr. Woop, (dem.) of N. Y., entered his protest against the recent practice of the House of engraft ing undue legislation upon appropriation bills. He should vote against anything coming froin the Com- mittee on Appropriation which did not confine itself to its legitimate functions—that was to appropri the money that existing law required. | (Applause, The point of order was sustained and the ection ‘was stricken out. Mr. Hewrrr, (dem.) of N. Y., submitted an amend- ment providing that when a yacaucy shall occur in the office gf professor of French or professor of Spanish there shall be but one professor of modern languages at. the Military Academy, abd that no per- son .be appointed to a professorship in that in- stitution who shall be over forty-five years of age. Mr. Hanna, (rep.) of Ilnd., moved to strike out the latter part of the amendment. ‘Mr. Warz,’(rep.). of Conn., favored Mr. Hanna's amendment. It would be untortunate to restrict the professors at the Military Academy to men under the age of forty-tive. Mr. Hanna’s motion was agreed to, and Mr. Hew- itt's amendinent, as amended, was adopted. On motion of Mr. Hewrrr, ot New York, the tion which provides for the resignation of off prior to the Ist of January, 1880, with threo years’ what similar provision is included in Mr. White's amendment, previously adopted.

Mr. Booxx, dem.) of Ky., submitted an amend. mont for the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department. Mr. Conorn, of mela raised a point of order. Mr. Ganriesp, of Oiio, supported the point of order. ‘This system ot teokiny on leqrislation to ay propriation bills was making the Committee on Ap- propriations a general dumping ground for the other committees. All the other committees might as well be abolished*and the Committee on Appro- priations be allowed to run the businces of the House and country. Here, in the first place, the House had to-day totally revolutionized the army and restricted all the modes of appointment. It was now proposed to cut out one of the great departments of the governmert | img it, bieeding and broken and torn, to the Appropriation Committeo and tumble it there, and say that Because some technical words, declared | that it was economy it was therefore in order. The House had never done a more fatal thing to its busi- hess than when it passed rule 120, if this amend. ment were ruled in order the House could abolieh all bs eg bl of the government or break down tho iciary or work revolution by a vote, and it wouid inorder. He hoped that the chairman of the com: | mittee would rule upon this as a matter of discretion and patriotism and prevent a flood af busincss being | poured upon the Appropriation Committee, which would ere long break down that conumittce aud array against it every other committce of the House, Tho tune would not be far distant when other committe would sce their business taken out of their hands, He did not think that the Committee on Appropria- | tions desired it, It was simply made # convenience | of all sorts of schemes, but if it did desire it it would be made the usurper of the authority of the House, ‘THE ECONOMY RULE. Mr. Ranvatt, (dem.) of Pa., (the Speaker) said that ale 120 did not allow any legigtation except such as should save money to the people, Prior to the adop- tion of that rule the rule had been to permit ex- travagances to be put upon appropriation bills, but no amendment in the direction of economy. A dem- ocratic House had turned right about tace in that respect, aud the result of that had been a saving of between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000 a year during the last three years, Mr, Ganvienn (of Ohio)—The right about face that the Speaker refers to is a right shout face in the direction of veneering this proposition over with the Pittence of economy by making it necessary to'en- large the expenses vastly on account of the new machinery. bs Mi. RaNDALYL—The rule compelled it to show an economy upon its face, Mr. Ganvinty—It may show economy on its face ‘but nos im its heart. Mr. RaNnpait—You have not much heart for econ- omy on that side, and I shall not charge you with it; but we have the heart and the purpose on this side, (Applause on democratic side.) ir. GARFIRLD—The heart and the purpose have not Managed to make themselyes shown of late. (Ap- plause on the republican ai Mr. RANDALI-—A saying of has been atfown. , said that he was very Mr. Cosaen, of Michi caret never to bring up political questions on a ghter.)

Mr. Paas, (rep.) of C offered as a substitute an amendment authorizing the Presi- to the care aud control of any of tho Indian tribes to the War Department temporarily, whenever he shall deem it advisable to do so, cither on account of hostile action on their Pe against the United States or in case of any difliculties arising between them and the settlers, Mr, Scatex, (dem.) of N. G., ‘raised the point of order, Ponting which the committee rose, and the House at 4:40 P. M. adjourned. Y : ARMY INTELLIGENCE, + Wasurxatox, Feb. 6, 1879.

Kemp, Deputy Clerk of the United States Circuit Court, stated that a large amount of business was thrown into the hands of Jenkins, Campbell and Hancock as asignecs. It was thought the lawyers generally preferred them. . R. E, Jenkins, asignee in bankruptcy, testified:—- ‘Never loaned money to Blodgett; never accepted in- terest from deposits in bank of funds of estates; in- terest from ali loans ever imade was applied to the estates from which it was detived. George W. Campbell and Bradford Hancock, as- signees, testified in a similar manner to Mr. Jenkins, Willfam H. Bradley testified that the National Bank of Hlinois was desi; ed by Judge Blodgett as depository of the funds in bankruptcy; witness was = diectar in the bank; Blodgett was not a stock- holder, but had had two loans from the bank aggre- gating $4,000. e Atter recess Chairman Knott said the memorialista had submitted five more charges, but three, having been suficiently covered, would bo returned to the memorialists. Charles S. Crane testified that he bid for Fox & Howard's Arete property at a bankrupt sale, in June, 1875, $40.00; Assignee Hancock accepted the bid and Judge Blodgett confirmed the sale, but when he offered the first payment of $20,000 Hancock satd the sale had made to other purties; he then a Tape to Judge Blodgett for relief, and he said he did not want to hear anything more about it; he tinally got the property by s decree of Judge Drume mond’s court. ADMISSION BY THE ACOUED. The memorialists were going into the papers of this voluminous case when Judge tt arose and said he would admit all that. The witness denied that he had threatened Judge Blodgett. He had said he was a corrupt judge and had considerable tceling against hin. fi Several. witnesses were here called who testified that it was a common practice of the Court to ap Pn, professional assignees, and that those in ques- n had given unusual satisfaction; plo that Judgo Blodgett never refused to appoint an assignee at the proper request of creditors. re the defence claimed that they were not Drop. erly furnished with charges in advance by memorialists. a Mr. Sheldon complained that the District Court hindered them from obtaining papers from its Ales. Judge Blodgett—That is false, SALE OF THE BIGELOW BLOCK, ‘Tho next charge was that the court record shows a petition made by F. H. Winston, claiming $30,000 as agent of the owners in effecting the sale of the Bige- low Block to the government; that that Winston be paid, and that Judge Drummond re- voked that order. The defence put the act of Con- gress for the pt and advertisement of bids on record. 4 ‘Winston testified that ho was agent for the parties interested in the sale and was paid by them; that thore court proceedings were immat 5 George C, Campbell testitied that Judge Drummond fovoked the order upon the death of Georg? Bigelow because the estate was complicated and the contract was one to be in Probate Court. ‘The Commission then adjourned. It is expected that the investigation will close to-morrow. REPUBLICAN DIFFERENCES. THE MUSS BETWEEN THE BLISS AND BIGLIN FACTIONS IN THE FIFTEENTH DISTRICT IN THE ‘WAY OF SETTLEMENT, * ‘The Committee on Contests and Appeals from the Republican Central Committee mot at Repubiican Hall last evening, William H. Gedney, chairman, presid ing, and the other meinbers present were Alderman Henry C, Perley, Robert C. Brown, Charles Strong end Solon B. Smith. The contest of the rival dele- gates of the Fifteenth assembly district was the sub- ject of investigation, The room was pretty well filled by, the Leaske and Montgomery men, ti latter being the clan of Barney Biglin and the former of George Bliss. Sheridan Shook, who has become as bald headed as Bon Butler and is fast growing in other respects into a veritable counter- ee of that distinguished politician, headed the ae geen ticket, and William H. Stmer the rave vearded and philosophical Ayamenmon of the Fi teenth district, stood brayely in the van of the opposition. Henry @. Leaske prosecuted the case of the contestants, and submitted about forty sworn affidavits showing that nataes wore voted on representing absent members of the association. While Leaske was speaking some mau near his elbow criod out, “hut up your mouth!” but Leaske paid no more attention to such requests than to the idle wind and kept on talking lik Phonograph 8. Rh Caulfield spoke for the “ins,” and so did Sheridan Shook. ‘ : Mr. William Montgomery, the present president of what calms to be the regular organization, satd nothing, but he looked a powerful sight. He is sandy bearded Scotchman, straight and tall as @ pil tree, and ax he kept on his foet most of the time ho | was rather a conspicuous object in the meeting. Leaske is # stout, middlo ed oman, wil gray side whiskers, a florid, fare and an — agreeable voice Teaske did most of the talking, and apy to have the bulk of the audience with him. He was & member of the association for yours till he was re- and it seems since the latter heartburning and unhappi- ness among the republicans of the district. At tho eiection December 10 two tickets were ran—one headed by Leaske and the other by Montgomery. ‘The latter was declared elevted by, as it in allege, illegal manipulation of ballots, and now the Lewko side contest the legality of the election. ‘Chis Fit teenth district is part of George Bliss’ Aldermanic district, and Leaskp, of course, reprosents Bliss. ke, hor ‘ beaten, and Mo: who, resented the dis- trict, on the face of it, was strongly for Biglin. Ex-Jadyo Fithian, an antiquated looking politician in a heavy ulster coat, put Leaske through a crosn- examination amid much merrim addressing the chairman when occasion arose as “Your Honor,” and the chairman, equally antiquated replying’ “Th Court will take your objections under advisement, Dittenhoorer, with his glasses on, came of the Montgomery wide and pro. i adidie tute ‘Then he called up for cross-exam- oases of the tants and the rave and gay by turns as the tenti- mony proceeded, The committee took all the evi- dence of both sides and will report to the Central Commnittes. a WOMEN SUFFRAGISiS, A pleasant reunion of the leaders inthe woman’s suffrage movement was held at the rooms of Mra, Dr. Lozier, Weat Fourteenth streot, last ovening, Mr, Loaler presiding.
