trouble in getting before them, refused
to-day to answer all questions inquiring as
to his connection, or the connection of
any other person with the so-called Ku-
Klux organization, on the ground that

self or bring upon himself the punish
ment which, according to the decisions
of the Supreme Court of North Carolina,
may be vented upon any member of a
band of Ku-Klox for the misdeeds of
their fellow . members. The act of Con
gress of January 24, 1862, was read to
him, wherein it is enacted that such a
plea shali not he held good to excuse a
witness from testifying before Congres

sisted in his refusal to answer the ques
tions put to him, saying he preferred
relying on the Constitution of the Uni
ted States rather than on the act of Con
gress.
He was then informed that he would
be reported to the full Committee at its
next meeting, when it is expected that
Congress will take cognizance of the case
and order his arrest for contempt.

Through the rich territory traversed by
this line of railways, evidences of won
derful thrift abounded—the land of
corn, where the catUe looked as though
they were never hungry in their lives,
and where flocks of sheep grazed in all
the valleys, The Western railways have
been greatly improved in comfort by

At Pittsburg we entered upon the western
terminus of one of the best managed
railroads on the continent;—the great
Pennsylvania Central, that connects the
city of Pittsburg with the city of Phila
delphia. It is 356 miles long, with a
double track the entire distance, so that
no apprehension of collisions is enter
tained. Some features of this enterprise
are worthy of note. Water tanks are
dispensed with, and, as a substitute, cop
per troughs, some 500 feet long, eighteen
of^ last I ^ nc ^ ies wide and four inches deep, are so
arranged along the track as to answer the
necessities of the road. The advantage of
this consists in supplying the engine with
water without stopping the train. The
engineer, as he approaches a trough,
drops a pipe in it, and the water is forced
through the pipe into the tank by the
motion of the engine—thus time is saved,
and the expense of an army of pump
hands avoided. The location of each
trough is indicated at night by blue

in visiting the Foundling Asylum.
that wonderful woman,
Victoria Woodlmll, will never ccaso to be
the nine days’ wonder of New- York.—
She has emerged from the family difficul
ties that threatened to shipwreck the fair
.Presufente-presumptive, a short-time *
back, and now indprsed by tho *
whole rank and file of the female suffrage
party, augmented by the Spiritualists.—
She lias gone to Cleveland to address the
latter, and probably made one of her im
passioned orations before a large audi-
dience of the mediums in that city last
night.
Just imagine Vickie to be a coarse,
masculine, strong-minded looking indi
vidual. She’s just the reverse. _She’s
pretty—at times beautiful. Has "lady
like, . winning manners, and inimitable
tact in managing the sex wc used to con
sider the sterner part of humanity. She
is mystical and visionary, while her hand
some sister, the really strong-minded
Teunie, is the actual business woman of
the firm of Woodhnll & Claflin. Theo
dore Tilton has found them so, and they
say the managing editor of the Tribune
is secretly an admirer of the fair broker-
esses, although the Tribune denounces
the lady opponent • of the Farmer of
Chappaqua in the race for the Presiden
tial chair in 1872.
WHAT TO WEAR AND HOW TO MAKE IT.
Although it is early in the season to
make positive announcements on that
subject, yet the general tendency of the
styles can be ascertained by visiting the
leading importing dry goods and fancy
millinery houses. A round of visits
among them enables us to make for the
readers of The Sun the following
FASHION NOTES.
The most popular dress materials are
wool satins, serges, poplins, mohairs and
alpacas. These are among tho cheaper
styles of goods, and are brought out iu
all the dark neutral tints.
Black is more popular for street wear
than ever, and the above named goods
and black silks will be almost universally
adopted for street costumes by ladies of
taste.
Dresses are worn larger and slightly
trained in the back. But these trains
are looped by tapes and buttons attached
to the back seams, making them short
enough to escape the pavement by fully
two inches.
Carriage dresses are made with short
trains, and are more elaborately trimmed
than those intended for walking cos
tumes. They can be made'of brighter
colored materials also, without offending
good taste.
Steel blue is now the most fashionable
color for silks for young ladies. \ l Ras
deterre,” “London Smoke Color,” and all
the richer, darker shades of plum color,
alligator -green, navy blue, brown and
grey are worn by matrons.
The Polonaise and skirt is still the pre
vailing fashion for making up walking
dresses, but skirts, tunic and jacket in
detached parts are also very popular.
These garments came out in endless va
rieties. We would advise those ladies
who make their own dresses to send to
Madame Demorest for a list of her pat-
erns and select the style that suits their
fancy. The Madame’s establishment now
does nothing hut send out fashions for
the million, in the form of those patterns
of original designs, invented by her own
artists and herself. They are reliable.
The new hats and bonnets are growing
still larger. The hat of the season is
almost like a man’s. The crown is high,
slightly tapering, the brim generally
turned up; but the straight and turned
down brims are also worn. Combina
tions of feathers, flounces, lace and rib
bons are used iu trimming them. Large
ornaments of jet are also very popular
on them.
Fringes, gimps, galloons, passemente
rie and braidings in rich patterns are to
take the place, this winter of the endless
variety of hand-made trimmings that
have been worn. In fact the newly im
ported and made up dresses have flalnes
only on the bottom of the skirt. All of
those inchings, plaitings, quillings, &c.,
have disappeared, their place being taken
by the trimming we have named.
Plaid water-proofs and those in dark,
rich .neutral tints, have taken the place
of thie everlasting black and gray and
pepper and salt materials that have given
such a sameness to the appearance of
ladies on the street on rainy or cloudy
days. Weather hats and bonnets of felt,
trimmed with plain, flat trimmings of
lustreless black rep ribbon, are to be worn
with these weather suits.
New York, September 20, 1871.
New York is rapidly filling np with its
usual fall influx of visitors and returning
residents. Merchants from the South and
West, and country tradespeople, keep
tho hotels filled to overflowing, while
from the watering places ancl the sea side

larger number at any similar exhibition.
The trotting matches and the great pe

attention from both sexes than any other
feature of the exposition.

THE CATHOLIC CHARITABLE INHTUTIONS
of New York do an immense amount of
what Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton called
“the fragmentary work of charity,” and
at the same time declared that “reform
ers like the female suffragists had no time
to attend to it.” “The Foundling Asy
lum of the Sisters of Charity” is one of
those institutions that has done more to
ameliorate the moral leprosy of New York
than any charity ever established here.
It has been just two years since it was
opened, and it has saved the lives of over
2000 infants, who would otherwise have
been sacrificed to the modern Nuw York
Moloch of infanticide, in one or another
form. The endowments from the State
for this charity have been very liberal,
but for all that, it takes the unflagging
exertion of the noblest and best of New
York’s wealthy matrons to keep the insti
tution up.
It is as amnsing as it is interesting to
visit the asylum, especially on Tuesdays.
On that day the ladies meet who aid the
Sisters of Chaiity in sustaining the
house; and while they are engaged in tlie
spacious parlors below collecting money,
and cutting and making baby linen for
the little foundlings, eight hundred little
babies are crying, or laughing, or tod
dling aronnd in the rooms above them.
All the children cannot be kejit in the
house at present occupied by the Sister.-
on North Washington Square; hut when i
the asylum proper is erected, none " >i j torts by saying
be put out to nurse, but all kept under a political Go-liav.
