The Cincinnati Eledtion S¢andals in the House. : FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, ‘Wasurxorow, March 20, 1879, DEMOCBATIO CAUCUS AND WHAT 18 DEVELOPED— MOVEMENTS OF EXTREMISTS IN BOTH PAR- ‘TIES. ‘The democratic caucus to-day developed nothing re- tmarkable except Mr. Alexander Stephens’ nonsense, This poor, feeble old man fondly imagines himeclf sti) @ leader of spartics and an inspirer of movements, and mistakes the silence of bis bearers for respectful and admiring attention. To-day he took it into hie head to demand that Con- gressshoyld at once go at general business and re- Weve the country by the issue of more silver‘ and _ more paper. He suggested also, it is reported, the repeal of the Internal ‘Revenue laws a8 ®& measure of relief. Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, and Mr. Bright, of Tennessee, spoke in the same general vein, but. the caucus determinéd finally to leave everything to the judgment of the * Speaker, and to the detbrmination of s joint caucns * committee of eleven Representatives and nine Sens * tors, who will report, probably on Monday, to the Joint caucus on the extentand order of business. © — If the moderate and sensible democrats and repub- * lican’-oan get together they can easily arrange a eet- lement and an early adjournment, each side conced- ing something. But there are vehement and unrea- sonable men on both sides who will try by all means to prevent this, and they may sticcepd. Nothing is certain at this trme. The extreme republicans are already quarrelling with the President because he will not agree to veto all the repesling laws proposed. They say it is not enough that he shall voto tho repeal of the supervisor and marshals law, but that he ought to veto everything. On the democratic side there areof course extrem- {sts to match these republicans, and if thie kind gete headway the session may last all summer, and every kind of folly may be confidently expected. The caucus elected Mr. House, of Tennessee, per- manent chairman, Mr. Clymer, his predecessor, hav- ing positively refused to serve longer. In spite of this refusal a good many votes were cast for him, mostly of Northern democrats, who, in both houses, think the Southern men are asking and getting something more than their share of places. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasnisaton, March 20, 1879, MILEAGE WANTED FOR THE EXTRA SESSION. A paper is in circulation in the House for the * signatore of the members, binding them to support @ proposition to secure mileage for the present ses- tion. The lew allows mileage for only two sessions of Congress, and the proposition, which originates With end: is quietly “circulated by ‘the Southern @amoorats, is that on Monday next the rales shall be for the extra session. The unfair part of the business is the non-expenditure of money for trevel- Ung expenses by many of those who are active in getting up the matter. It is charged that a good | many Southern remained hore after the adjournment of the Forty-fifth Congress, and Dave incurred no outlay for travelling expenses in the interval to the extra session.

An effort is being made to have the report of the Committee on Expenditures in the Treasury Depart- ment printed and, as heretofore, published. Clerk Adams, during the pendency of the election of a Speaker, held that there was'no authority to warrant action in ordering the work done, owing to motion to reconsider the vote by which tho report was ordered printed having having been pending at the close of the last session. Those inter- ested in the report having appealed from the decision of Mr. Adams to Mr. John M. Barclay, the author of the digest of rules under which the Heuse acts, that gentleman has responded,-giving ® prece- dent where expenditures were made, authorized by a. resolution which hed passed (as in this case), Rot- withstanding a motion to reconsider was pending ‘when the session closed. { The question will probably be bronght before the Honse for determination. PREVENTION OF CONTAGIOUS DISEASES—ADDI-. TIONAL LEGISLATION REQUIRED AND OBJECTED TO BY REPUBLICANS, Representative Chalmers, of Mississippi, who wae defeated in the House to-day in an endeavor to intro. duces bill providing for further legislation with a. view to the prevention of contagious diseases, im- mediately after objection was raised by Representa- tive Conger, of Michigan, proceeded to the Senate for the purpose of having the same measure introduced in that body, and if passed thereby secure the action of the House upon it. Mr, Chalmers’ bill modifies to a.considerable extent the bill passed at the last ses- sion, and it is claimed by prominent Southern mem- bers that additional legislation upon this subject ts , Very much needed in order to prevent a recurrence of the fever. Itis conceded by democratic members that the objection raised to this measure to-day is a signal of the republican side to defeat, as far as ites in their power, the introduction or consideration of any subject other than that for which the extra session ‘was called—namely, to pass the bills making appro- priations for thesupply of the army and maintenance of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the government. ‘Mr. Chalmers will also attempt to procure tne pas- sage of the Mississippi Levee bill by having it brought up in the Senate during the extra session. This bill passed both houses during the last seesion, but failed to reach the President in time to receive hisetgnature previous to adjournment. BEDEMPTION OF CALLED BONDS. The Treasury Depertment will now redeom “called bonds” ombraced in theseventy-sixth to the eighticth calls inclusive, paying interest to the date of re- demption, or it wiN redeem at once bonds included in said calls with interest to date of maturity, and apply the proceeds to the payment of any subscriptions for the four per cent ‘consols, PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. SENATE. | ‘Wasuincron, March 20; 1879. After prayer by the chaplain and the reading of the Journal by the secretary, Mr. Wallace, of Pennsyl- vania, moved that the Senate do now adjourn. withdrew the mot at the request of Mr. Anthony, of Rhode Island, who moved that when the Senate adjourn it be to Monday. This was disagreed to, and the Senate then adjourned till to-morrow.

Archbishop Purcell has at last broken silence on the question of his indebtedness, how it was cansed, and, finally, how he hopes it may be liquidated. The following open letter to. the’public appeared in this morning's papers of this city :— 3 ‘THE ARCHBIEHOP'S LETTER, ‘To My Friexps THE Pupiic I deem it my di to make known to the very large number of ns to whom I hi n to be more or Jess known in Europe and in the United States that in the eight year of my ago and the forty-fitth igo of my; am bu with » eavy debt ch I> am unable to liquidate. This debt, as all who know me are awi are, was not contracted by waste, high living, or extravagance. Itis my only consolation thet my conacience me this testimony, and it is acknowledged ay Catholics and Protestants ag well as by citizens of every and no religion. It is asked how I came to owo so much. I must answer frankly. A TA¥E HISTORY. ; I was born of poor parents, who had tostint them- selves to give me an ctnostion, the best their meane allowed or the town-in which'I was boru afforded, to attain the position in life for which I wos conse- crated, it 80 before I was born. I felt that my only chance was to come to Americaand ay for the priesthood, - When I sncceeded in this rega: I neither sought nor expected to be rich. Food and raiment was all'I received, and with these, if I may presume to say 80, like St. Paul, I was perfectly con- tented. Iwassent to Paris by the venerable and saintly Dubois, first 81 r of Mount St. uny Seminary ae ee ren Cee ye haps s my return as continu as well ag Icould in that time Nouored seboo] of the priest- hood untill was made bishop and sent to Cincin- nati. In this new sphere, as in my earlier life, I be- 2 80 poor that I haa to borrow for my travel- pagexpenees: tomy see'for myself and two or three at and domestica, DEBTS BEGIN. ‘Then I had soon to contract debts for the many wants of anew diocese. For he tates dipeen ed to 8 interest, and this interest growing yearly now m: (wooording to the report of the tees appointed to examine the accounts and +i ities of the diocese) more than half of the in ness of the diocese. Of the debt contracted by the financial it of the diocese, ‘I think it can be safely #1 that not more than $500,000 was money deposited with him. The rest is the result of compound intermst. As a proof of this I will state one of many facts that have come to light. Yesterday a creditor called with aclaim of $1, In presenting it he admitted that $800 of the amount was interest, and expressed his readiness to aceept for it $300, the original deposit. ‘The claims of hundreds are of the same nature. The indebt the diocese in equity does not amount to more than $1,000,000, to place it at its highest figure.» HEAVY DIOCESAN EXPENSES, In yg pace yy! the; money loaned or deposited with the financial agent at tlie diocese, the trustees and others have overlooked one very large item of expenses. Until 1852 no general collection was ever taken up in the diocese for the ‘support of the diocesan seminary: For twenty years, therctore, the burden of educating ts fell upon my financial agent. He support e seminary without asking aid from the diocese. When it was located li Brown county, upon the farm now = by the Urgo- lihe Community, he paid the salaries of the profes- sors during many years and fed, clothed and edu- cated the seminarians. He paid all the expenaca dur- fing the same. long period of ecclesiastical students st Mount St. Mary, Emmettsburg, in France and in Rome. In twenty years all these ex which in justice the diocese ,should borne, amounted toa vast sum. In my various voyages to had, the interests of religion in mind, especially. in looking for priests for our missions—Germaa, Irish and of other nationalitica— d defraying the expenses of a library of at least toen thousand volumes, a philosophic apparatus, .. all of which required large expenditures of the Atocesen resources, which, exclusive of sums spent in the building of the Orphan Asylum, at Cammins- ville, of churcyes and the Cathedral and other build- inga, for the ROPE ‘of seminarians for so many ears for. ec] for. which I had to go heavily in dove. finally swamped me. & TRIBUTE TO HIS BROTHER. My: brother, the -Very Rev. Edward Purcell, or- dained a prieet in 1838, seeing me overwhehmed by all these labors and res; ibilities getieroucly helped.me to bear these burdens. But they were too heavy forone who had no kind of mercantilé or financial training to fit him for the hard work he as- sumed and to which for forty years there was no one else to devote hiniself. His life was@ne of immense labor and no reward buat the consciousness of serving God, the Church and his brethren to the nt of his ability. Taking no recreation, no respite from toil or any rest, his self-sacrificing spirit any one who knows htm’can tell, and he never put one dollar of the money of the Church or of the people to his own personal account orcredit. The ofticial report of the trustecs, while it shows an enormous debt of $3,600,000, has emphatically declared that not the slightest stain rests upon the honesty of my brother, who was intrusted with tho financial affairs of the diocese. repeat the conviction which all who knew im hold, that kind heartedness and an excessive trust in the honesty of others who borrowed from him, united with the payment of compound interest, have alone been the cause of my financial calamity. ‘AN OLD MAN'S APPEAL, Still, I honestly owe my 3,000 creditors, The debt is large; it has crushed me with its weight. Of my forty-five years in the episcopacy this is the darkest, Taost paintul, most sorrowful hour. When the storm broke upon me I should have sunk into my grave had I not been streng! by the remembrance of my duty a8 » bishop of God’s Chureh, and had I not been sustained by the generous sympathy which thousands of Catholics and Protestants alike havo shown me in my distress. The Catholic bishops of the country have made me their debtor forever by thetr offer of assistance. Though unworthy of 50 much universal kindness, still I rejoice over it be- cause it gives methe hope of meeting my obligw tions. Itcheers me that the charity of so many las been stirred by the misfortunes of an old missionary bishop whose race is nearly run. TO THE CHARITABLE OF ALL FAITHS. After this truthful and faithful exposé of facts I appeal to all Catholics, and others who feel for others’ woer, to help me out of my embarrassmonts; to re- lieve the pour and toiling creditors who lept me their money to build churches, to educate youth and to perform sundry works ot charity, religion and bene- volence, and merit the assistance of Almighty God thet such good works may never fail. Great as the debt is, a dollar from everyone would soon cancel it. The charity that has been so tervently manifested on all sides is now my strong reliance to wipe out any a that may attach to the Church or any injury that muy arise to the Faith through the mismana; ment of the deposits of poor people. a, AS ORD Bory rantan wn God bless, God reward a’ liundred fold the kind hearts that have consoled a poor, insolvent and God onrich with sll temporal blessings all those gee are ready té weloo wit » him or. his ropresentatives us hangs, Lhey by edhy awe ot ines , areater then even my large dcbt of dollars— ido that I can never pay. .For: this ] 'y hy, unexpected and unmerited, I @ive all that Ihave, the last prayers of my. old age und the last mod my long pricetly lif, t J.B.

MONEY MATTERS AND LETTERS EXPLATVED The Audience in Sympathy with the Fair Plaintiff. SENATOR CAMERON'S LETTERS IN. EVIDENCE. , (BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD.) ‘Wasuixctox, March 20, 1879. Public interest in the suit of Mrs. Oliver against ex-Senator Cameron increases as the case progresses, and to-day, the fourth of the trial, the excitement about the Court House was at fever pitch. Mrs. Oliver has endeavored all through the trial to avoid making herself conspicuous. At the suggestion of friends she laid aside tho fancy hat she had been wearing at-first and has substituted for it plain straw bonnet. To-day she was attired quite becomingly. Her hair, which she possesses a fine stock of, was dressed plainly, being simply parted in the middle and combed down over her forehead. ‘Her ‘appearance’ was the subject of general re- mark and approval. It was admitted that she looked really pretty. ‘The red blush on her face that has heretofore given her rather @ bold look has de- parted and in its stead there is simply twopinkish } wag. Mrs. General Butler.” ir. | ¢elobration of the month's mind of the late Bishop | spots on her cheeks. 80 soon as she was called to the witness stand General Butler began to propound some perplexing ‘questions, but the.widow answered promptly. The cross-examina- tion took s wide range and efforts were made to trip her, but in this the andience seemed to think she was equal, to her interrogator. She evidently had the sym- pathy of the vast concourse of spectators in thecourt room. Judge Cartter frequently reminded the Gen- eral that too much time was being consumed in the cross-examination and that the witness had been ex- amined on tho same subject twice over. When the controversy sprang up between counsel relative to tho receipt given by plaintiff for money’ received from defendant, General Butler remarked :— **Wo had never heard of this breach of promise to marry until this woman fell into the hands of Peter & Darncille.” { ABUSE OP THE PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL, ‘This assertion created quite a sensation, and it wis expected that. lively wordy altercation at least would follow between those gentlemen and General Butler, but to the surprise of all present the charge was allowed to go by. General Butler continued his examination with renewed vigor, but he was often put to great trouble at times to get answers to eutit, and ho openly pro- nounced the widow a troublesome witness. Mrs. Oliver endeavored to answer Yankee fashion, but she wag promptly met by the General, who would say, “{am asking you. I am not a witness, and, there- fore, cannot be asked questions.” She sometimes insisted on being allowed to enswer questions ac- cording to her liking, but she was stopped by the sharp voice of the Court demanding of her ‘Yes or no.” General Butler at a certain stage of the ex- amination put the direet question to her:— «Was there # single allusion that he promiged to in ony, of his letters, until efter this suis This she evidently endeavored to dectine answer- ing, and for a while the spectators held their breath in anxious suspense. She backed and filled and finally relieved the counsel and thecrowd in the room by saying, “I do not recollect it.”” CROSS FIRE BETWEKS COUNSEL. Another cross fire took place between plaintiffs counsel and General Butler, when the latter charged the,money shoe should obtain from the suit. Mr. Peter, of hercouneel, claimed: that he took the case out of sympathy for the woman. Mr. Toney, another of her counsel, said, ‘I,am perfectly indifferent whether I get anything or not.’” The charge was made also that the suit was a job to make money, which again stirred up the counsel. The Court, secing that trouble was brewing, de- manded that Geseral Butler should go on with his examination, and the cross firing ceased. The cou- troversy was the means of ‘drawing out the state ment from Mra, Oliver that she obtained the money with wikich she paid the | necessary amount ($12) enter the suit by selling some jewels and clothes. This had its effect on the crowd, and expressions such as ‘Spunky women,” “She has got nerve,” and the like, were indulged in. Mrs. Oliver took savantage of the sympathy manifested for her by the crowd and piteously ai “1 had no friends on earth and I had to rely on my own exertions.” This was too much for the crowd, and bad it not beon for the army of bailiffs, who were ready to put outof the room all disorderly persons, Mrs. Oliver's exclamation would have been greeted with loud ap- planse, UNDER AX ASSUMED NAME. The next point in the examination which created a sensation was when General Butler asked witness if ehe ever had representel herveif as Mra. Sherman. Mrs. Oliver, placing her large bine eyes on General Butler, said in an emphatic tone, “I did it once, and it was a more accident; it never occurred again to my knowledge.” She attempted to explain how she came to do it on that occasion, but Goneral Butler objected, but it could platniy be seon by her countenance that before her examination closed she would tell the whoie story, and she suc- ceeded. Said she:— might have under the circamatances eaid that I ‘This remark took with the prowd, and formeveral minutes the court room was convulsed with lsughter, Mrs. Oliver joining iu. After the merriment had subsided Mrs. Oliver entd:— “If yon wauld.let, me tell it would help yon fre- tly.” wonera Butter replied, “Thank you, I want no help.” | HE COURT BOOM CLEARED. Meantime the crowd had become quite noisy. The Court ordored the room to be cleared and none but mombers of the Bar allowed inside the rail. Tho recort of the Court was produced, atid only those whose names appeared upon it were admitted. Dur- ing this time Genoral Butler and the widow held a short conversation, which had the appearence of being very pleasant. The widow smiled and the General did likewise. Atthe close of the cross-eramination Mre.

There was the eame large crowd in attendance at the opening of the United States Circutt Court yes- terday at the continuation of the trial of De Boigne M. Bennett, for sending through the mail « book named ‘‘Cupid’s Yokes,” which is classed by the government as prohibited matter, Mr. Bennett brought with him o small bundle of “Cupid's Yokes,” and when the jury roll was called scopy was handed tocach, and one was placed in the hands of Judge Benedict. Upon the table in front of counsel tho collection of standard works, from which tt was intended to draw saving come parison, had been increased to quite a library. Mr. Wakeman, in summing up for the defence, read passage after passage of the boox, and contended that a person had a perfect right to advocate any opinion, even to the abolition of the marriage.tic, and wns responsible only to his conecience. His client was arrested for putting in the maila book with pasenees from works which all had known since childhood, and which are in all complete libraries. “I holdin my hand,” ho said, “a copy of ‘Mon- taigne’s Essays,’ by Hazlitt, from the Mercantile Li- brary, which illustrates the point I have taken.” «“Idon't care,” said Judge Benedict; “‘you may take an exception. Yon must confine yourself to the dis- cussion of the objectionable i In concluding his review of the book Mr. Wake- man offered to read the last pagé, as showing the nature of the work, but this was ponitively deniea by Judge Benedict. Counsel referred to the motives of Mr. Comstock. The Court—Do you argue that if the jury find the book obscene they must acquit the defendant be- cause Mr. Comstock was malicious? Mr. Wakeman—No, Your Honor; but I am pre- senting to the jury the motives that inspired this officer throughout this whole prosecution. it is not that Comstock Iimself believes the book is obscene, but he makes it the pretext of thie serctes. If he had been sincere in his desire.to efit public morals by suppressing this book, iustead of being the direct means of advertising it from one end of the land to the other—why did he not slip into Mr. Bennett's lace, seize every copy of the book and destroy it ut- iy? Would not that have beon the right, legal and effectual way to accomplish his object? In con- cluding counsel said that: he could not conceive it possible that the jury would bring in a ‘against his‘client. ‘ “WHAT SORT OF A HEART?” District Attorney Fiero then addressed ‘aot ita He satd that when they returned they would take the book with them and determine whether it contained aioe that should be circulated through the mail. “Whst sort of a heart has that msn,” said he, .‘‘who can deliberately sit down and write a yk of this character, and what sort of a heart can any man have who will send that kind of literature indigeriminately through the mails?

After the words “first degree” had fallen from the lips of the foreman Hoyt dropped into his seat and then directed his attention toward his counsel, who was asking the Court for the privilege of filing @ motion for anew trial, In this he seemed deeply interested. The Court said that it would hear the counsel on ® motion for a new trial a woek from Saturday. The State's Cece 4 then moved for sentence to be wed upon the pris oner in accordance with the verdict.
