The full committee then adjourned to meet on the first day of the next session of Congress, or sooner if called by the Chairman. After which the sub-com mittee of three, namely: Senators Scott, Pool and Blair, appointed to examine witnesses, organized and examined Col. Vf. L. Saunders of North Carolina, and Edward Wheeler, of Arkansas. Saun ders, whom the committee have had much 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 he was not compelled to criminate him 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 sional 'Committees. But he still per 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. The two sub-committees of the Ku- Klux Committee held meetings to-day. The sub-committee for the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida resolved to meet at Augusta, October 18th.

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 having ballast of broken stone firmly un packed between the cross-ties, whioh im parts a steadiness of motion to the cars, and which, added to the “ fish b£,r,” which is growing rapidly in favor, ren ders the smoothness almost complete. 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 Another innovation upon, the custom of railroads consists in a right-angled [ beam at each mail station, upon which is suspended the mail pouch, j As the loco- j motive moves rapidly on, by a cunning device the oord suspending the package same time lastyear..25,000 jg divided, and the bag, with its contents, :nt:1 need ovjul on .vu-tii-ra rttnalb Improvements and Manufactures Enter prise of - Louisville, Ivy.

The engraving and binding are executed here—numerous and beautiful specimens of which were exhibited. The com pleteness of the jobs and the artistic taste and skill displayed in all the productions of this publishing house demonstrates that the South only requires the exercise of enterprise to place her in successful competition with the North. In 1870, this house printed one million copies of almanacs for a single firm of Louisville, involving a cost of $30,000. It requires two hundred employees to meet the requirements of the various de partments conducted in a large four-story structure. A company is now about constructing chambers for the manufacture of sul phuric and other acids, which will, doubtless, at an early day, be in opera tion.

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.

I think that I never witnessed a larger number at any similar exhibition. The trotting matches and the great pe destrian, Weston, seemed to attract more attention from both sexes than any other feature of the exposition. We are receiving constant accessions of Knights Templar as we "progress on our journey to Baltimore : —many from Tennessee and Kentucky. Other trains from St. Louis are just in the rear of us, bearing several hundred Knights. Twelve cars have left Cincinnati filled with mem bers of the same Order.

Our flight through the uppert 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.
