Washington, January 22.—The
Potter committee met to-day, and
were in secret session an hour. The
Democratic members asked that St.
Martin should be called to the stand
or should be discharged from attend
ance as a witness, and upon tills,
Shellabnrger, as counsel for Secretary
Sherman, put in a letter requesting
that St. Mnrtin might be called for
cross-examination on the testimony
which lie gave at New Orleans and
on tlie affidavit he lias recently filed
with the committee. There seemed
to be a general disposition to comply
with the request, but it was not defi
nitely decided. There was quite an
animated discussion with regard to
the cipher dispatches, Butler still pro
testing that it would be wise for both
parties to leave the investigation
alone. He expressed his willingness,
however, to hand over the cipher
telegrams in ilia possession to
the committee, ns lie believed
they ought to be made public.
The committee thought it advisable
not to call any witnesses in respect
of the dispatches until the bill for an
additional appropriation shall have
passed the Senate. To-morrow they
will call Mr. Moses, clerk of the Sen
ate, and other witnesses who will
testify respecting the XiOuisiana cer
tificates. Tlie committee will sit in
Washington, but a sub-committee
will probably be appointed to take
tlie evidence of Mr. Tlldeti, in New
York.

Rome, January 22.—In tlie Senate
to-day tlie debate on the foreign poli

Signor DePretis renewed his declara
tions of yesterday. The only new
point in liis speeell was the assertion
that tlie interests of Italy forbade
any modification of the status quo
with Tunis. This is interesting in
connection with the relations lie-'
tween France and Italy. The Senate
adopted an order of the day, which
was accepted by tlie Cabinet, to the
effect that in order to uphold (tie
national prestige find institutions it
is necessary, licit only loyalty to ob
serve treaties, but also to see that the
internal policy does not disturb tlie

of the late Cairoli Cabinet.

Latter Day* of tlie RI«nnerha**ott*.
Cincinnati Gazette.]
Under tlie above head Maria P.
Woodbridgo, a resident of Marietta,
we believe, describes in IAppincott's
Magazine the sequel to some of the
most romantic and painful events
of which the West has been the
theatre.
Our renders generally know how
Harmon Blennerlinsset lived In ease
on an island in the upper Ohio ; how
Ills wife was admired for her beauty
mid kindness, and how tier hus
band's connection with Aaron Burr
brought ruin upon the family. The
subsequent fortunes of tlie Blennor-
hassetts Is less familiar to tlie public
and it is of them that the author lias
written. Mr. Blennerhnssett joined
Burr on the night of December 10,
1800, to escape arrest. He was fol
lowed by his wife a week later. A
party of drunken soldiers had already
taken possession of the house and
spread desolation nil around. By the
first of January Sirs. Blennerhnssett
had joined her husband. The Burr
expedition proved a failure, and they
went to Natchez. The hunband was
arrested, liut acquitted. He then re
turned to tlie North, only again to lie
set at liberty after several weeks’ con
finement. Meanwhile n Hood had
added its effects to the vandalism of
the marauders, who had stripped the
house of its furniture and broken
window frames to get pos
session of tlie leaden weights;
)uh negroes hud either been
sold to satisfy impatient creditors,
or had escaped to the Ohio
shore. Tlie island itself was in the
possession of a Kentucky creditor,
who devoted it to the cultivation of
liemp. There was nothing to tio hut
to go back to Natchez, where Mr.
fflenneriiaSHett bought a plantation.
This lie sold for $27,000, after the war
of 1812 bad crippled all branches of
business. Tills above sum paid his
debts, but little more. What re
mained of ids island home was
burned by the accidental ignition of
the hemp with which it was stored.
He took liiH family to New Yorlt,
where he lmd a friend in his country
man, Thomas Addis Emmet, lie
did not succeed, however, in the
practice of law, which ho now took
up, nor was he more prosperous in
Montreal, whither lie hod removed
ill the recommendation of ids friend,
the Duke of Richmond, then Govern
or General. He had been promised a
judgeship on tlie occurrence of the
first vacancy, but none occurred.
His once lovely -wife is described
about this time lis having “lost every
vestige of her former elegance and
beauty,” though, when animated by
conversation, the interesting expres
sion for which Hlie was so remarkable
would become noticeable.
As ids law practice dill not pros
per, Mr. Blennerhnssett tried to en
force u reversionary claim to property
in Ireland, but was barred by tlie
statute of limitations. Added to
tliiH was tlie grief which the dissipa
ted habits of Dominick, tlie odlestof
their three hoiih, occasioned. The
second was amiable, but helpless,
while the third was too young to lie
of any service. Finding it impossi
ble to make a living in Montreal,
Mrs. Blennerhnssett visited her
friends, the Emmets, in New York,
in 1822. They cheered her by their
friendly counsels, hut tlie miscon
duct of Dominick caused her fresh
grief. He had studied medicine, and
she finally obtained for him a posi
tion ns surgeon’s assistant in commo
dore Porter's expedition, then about
to sail. He behaved ho badly, how
ever, that lie was very soon sent
buck to her. She regarded him as
almost irresponsible in his fearful up-
petite for drink and placed
| iiim to board with a poor
woman at $3 50 a week. Just
as she and her husband were starting
for Montreal, liaving discovered that
there were no chances for employ
ment in tlie States, it was found that
Dominick had enlisted as a common
soldier. II is mother never saw him
again. A friend of tlie family nfter-
wardflfoiind him wandering about
New Orleans in rags. A position us
apothecary in a charity hospital was
found for him, but he soon left for St.
Louis, where ho probably died un
known and uncared for. Meanwhile
her husband was making desperate
efforts to gain a livelihood. He went
to England and sought appointments
ill vain, ami bis threat of publishing
a book containing scandalous revela
tions about a royal personage nearly
related to tlie King proved an equal
failure. Mrs. Blennerliossett pub
lished a little volume of her own en
titled “Tlie Widow of tlie Rock, and
Other Poems," but it was a failure.
Finally Mr. Bleiinerlmssett’s maiden
sister gave them a home in England,
though her means were but scanty.
In 1831 the husband died of paraly
sis on the island of Jersey. His wife,
though shuttered by physical and
mental ills, survived him eleven
years. Shortly before her death hIk-

The southeast trade winds in tlie At

the coast of Africa. Traveling to the
northwest, they blow obliquely across
the ocean until they reach the coast
of Brazil. By 111is time they are
laden with vapor, which they contin

Louisville, January 00.—The fol
lowing information was given the
police, to-day. Tlie detectives do not
heileve the story, and it is said, think
that the money was lost in New Or
leans. The police memoranda reads :
“Mr. A. Rellgman, a well known
New York diamond dealer of 423
Broadway, started, last Saturday
evening,' from New Orleans to this
city, via Montgomery, and this morn
ing when ho arose from tlie sleeper
ho discovered that a package contain
ing diamonds valued at (13,000, to
gether with $000 in money, was miss
ing. Tlie package was in an inside
vest pocket. The vest, with other
articles of clothing, was folded and
placed under the pillow. His pistol
mid wateli were both left untouched.
The package contained nine $100
hills, marked witli tlie letter S in the
right lower cornerof each bill; seven
pairs of soituiro diamond ear-rings,
weighing from 2 to 7J karats each;
three cluster rings, one 9 stono aim
two 7 stone; two Hots of studs, one 2
karat and tlie other 1J, and twenty-
four loose diamonds, weighing alto
gether 8 karats.

The great conundrum here now is :
“How much property did Gushing
leave 7” And no one is able to solve
the question satisfactorily. His large
landed possessions in the Northwest,
which gave him so much trouble,
were taken off his hands year before
last, by General Butler, who thus
earned tiie vote for Governor which
Cushing gave him at tlie Newbury-
port polls. His Virginia estate, an
old Chu reli-of-Eiigland parsonage,
about five miles from this city, lie
sold some time before ids death to the
limn who had carried it on. His house
at Nowburyport and his good law
library will realize something, and it
is to be lioped that lie has left besides
enough to give a support to a nephew
and two nieces who are in destitute
circumstances. Ho has at times re
ceived large fees, but his outlays in
connection with Ills Western" land
operations have been constant and
considerable. There wus another
constant drain on his purse, but, us
wo are told not to expose tlie pecadil-
los of tlie dead, I will not enter into
particulars. More general informa
tion is buried in Gushing’s grave than
any living American possesses, yet
ho has left nothing behind him to
show posterity how rare and varied
were his attainments, except some
opinions delivered when lie was At
torney General, a book of travels,and
his scathing criticism of old Cock-
burn, his adversary at Genova.

One niglil at the Theatre of San
Carlo, Naples, Dumas the elder found
himself chatting familiarly witli a
stranger, who, when the pluy was
over, said to him, patronizingly:
“I have greatly enjoyed your con
versation, sir, and hope to see more
of you. If ever you visit Purls call
inl ine. I am Alexander Dumas.”
“The devil you are! Ho am I!"
replied the novelist, with a roar of
laughter.
By (he way, Dumas left Naples un
der peculiar circumstances.
One line morning, lie orbited an
article in which ho handled tlie Ital
ian pie in a manner more vigor
ous than courteous.
At s o’clock the paper cameout; by
10 Dumas had received thirty chal
lenges; by noon, sixty. At 1 p. m.,
he called a meeting of the 120 friends
of his challengers, and said unto
them:
“Gentlemen, I leave Naples to-
nigiit, and therefore have not time to
fight all your principals singly. Nev
ertheless, I uni anxious to give them
all the satisfaction that iH in my
power, so us I have the choice of
weapons I propose lighting with pis

I’ll blaze away into the crowd.”

ENGLAND’S GREAT DISTRESS.
Caused by American Competition In
Iron and Cotfwu.
London Correspondence N. V. Herald.]
You have heard that a committee
is at work distributing lireud and
meat, and also making a searching
inquiry into the causes of the dis
tress. Many reasons are assigned—
the main reason, the prosperity of
the United States. Nothing seems
clearer than this, that England is
falling back simply because America
is advancing. Peace, it is written,
hath her victories no less renowned
than war. How wise It was in those
who governed America to lie content
with a peaceful controversy with
England. I am not writing in any
spirit of exultation, because I never
have seen cause for rejoicing in any
war, peaceful or otherwise, and T be
lieve if the relations between the
family of nations were adjusted on a
sound basis, you would uot see what
pains one so much—-the sufferings of
nations like Germany and England,
and the prosperity of nations like
Franco and America. One cannot
help feeling tliut, having had our
day of Horrow, it is sweet once more
to see the sun. But, sooner or later,
tills distress here must affect the most
prosperous of nations. I f you look
for the causes of tills trouble what do
you find? There Is the distress in
the iron trade. Well, in ten years
America has added twelve fold to her
iron production. Every ton of ore
produced is so much taken from Eng
land. We can make iron even in
Tennessee and Alabama cheaper than
it can ho made in England, and, as a
consequence, the export trade of Eng
lish iron, once tlie largest item of our
imports, is confined to the Atlantic
coast. Very soon it will he driven
out, unit we shall ho sending our
manufactured iron to this market.
ThtB makes an immense chasm in
the profits of English labor. There
is much distress in the cotton trade.
Not long since England had a virtual
monopoly of cotton manufacture.
She purchased our raw cotton and
sent it back to us in cloth, and the
industry usHiimcd prodigious propor
tions. She had a market in India
and China. I am afraid even to
hazard a guess as to tlie amount of
money England lias made in the lust
half century out of her cotton goods
witli India, China and tlie United
States. What do you see now ? The
ITuited States makes her own cotton
into cloth and is beginning to supply
England. In China our cloths arc so
much better than the English that
we are taking the market. L hear of
some English mills imitating our
American trade marks so us
to secure a Chinese market.
I read warning articles in (lie
newspapers telling cotton man
ufacturers that unless they stop
iug tlie Chinese by putting too i i :li
sizing in their cotton cloths they will
lose their whole trade, tlie Chinaman
being n thoughtful, prudent person,
and not caring to buy Ills sizing by
the yard. In India, where England
lias a monopoly of the cotton trade,
and where local regulations would
forbid any serious competition on our
part,- tlie people are building cotton
mills and making thefr own cloth.
Labor is so cheap in India and cotton
grows there in such profusion that
this composition must be effective.
So you see that three great markets
in which England lias heretofore
been supreme, are taken from bel
aud the cotton trade dies, and the
men who work in cotton must go to
the relief associations and crave
bread and meat.
