Wabhinqton, Jan. 10. The New
To|>ort to the follow ini; effect:
First The evidemv Kiven before
them in New Orleans shows that in
the late election their was no intimi
dation to keep colored men from vo
ting the Republican ticket. No evi
iWuiMt wu • ttro fight to the committee
i bat *n> viDloatt? lind boon threat
ened.
Second—The ovkloutw* shws that
though in several of the white leagues
a proposition to discharge servants
who Vote 1 the UeiMiidiean ticket was
discuss- I, it was in every case voted
down.
Third Evidence shows that the
Returning board was a monstrous,
clumsy fiund; that Ui* members had
Pkfll endhgh to conceal their
wrong aud dupiicit >.
Fotlrth United Slates troops, under
order* of Marshal Packard, scoured
the parishes a week Iwfore the elec
tiyn with warrants in their pockets
against D-moerats, and a]>poUvd at
fhe'ifclls on cieett&n day, intimida
ting and driving off Democrats. In
timidation seems to he on the Repub
lican side and against Democrats,
* Fifth the report will show that
disorder in the Legislature had
eeased and the meeting was orderly
aryl quiet when Gen.Trobiand entered
the hall to arrest the members. The
repoll will also claim that Kellogg
has no hold on tin* people of the
•State: that at the bust election many
colored men voted the Democratic
ticket oil account of failure of Freod
mJhirs Bank. Many personally ap
peared before the committee and tes
tified to that fact, and to t heir Dem
ocratic sympathies. The evidence I
also shows that the New Orleans po
lice is demoralized and useless ; also
that the White Lcugucrs consist of
merchants, lawyers and others of the
best citizens, and is simply a eitizens’
association.

Rumors of the dissensions in the
Cabinet on account of the policy of
tho Administration in regard to the
Louisiana troubles are again repeat*
*d in well informed circles, ami it
was stated to-night that Secretary
Fish had tendered his resignation to
the President. The Secretary, how
ever, denied the truth of the report,
stating positively that he had re
signed, but as to what would take
pla>-e he did not know. There seems
tube every indication that at least
three members of the Cabinet are not
thoroughly in accord with the Presi
dent in this trouble, on some ques

they will resign. It is known that
several prominent Republican Sena

CONOR ESS ION AI. COM MI TT EE.
W ashington, January 11. The sub
committee appointed by the House
‘ siH'eial committee on Southern affairs
i and which has beeu investigating the
1 matter in Louisiana for some weeks
past, returned to Washington last,
night. Its members Foster of Ohio,
'Phelps of New Jersey, and Potter of
j New York are n> cvssurily reticent
I as to giving expression to their views
. in advance of their presentation to
! the full committee, and of the matur
ing and making, of Its report to the
House. Enough is known, however,
to authorize the statement that there
is conflict of opinion among the
members of the sub-committee as to
the principal point# iu the coutrq
versv. The action of the Returning
Board in throwing out the returns of
( certain parishes in which (Joservii
| fives were elected and giving certifi
cates to some Republicans who were
not elected, will be condemned as an
illegal and unwarranted exercise of
authority. The testimony taken be
| fore tin* committer* does not sustain
ihc. charges of violence aud intimida
tion towards the negro Voters, Imt
■ rather tends to establish the fact that
j large numbers of negroes voted tin*
i Democratic ticket from a conviction j
that in doing so they were advancing
their own interests and the interest j
of the State. it is a mere matter of
I conjecture as to what course of policy
; the committee will recommend, but
1 probabilities arc that it will be in the
I direction of anew election. The ex-;
eitement in New Orleans when the I
I committee left that city was intense, \
hut there was no likelihood of its j
being manifested in a general out
break.
The Kellogg government is submit- j
ted to only under the military power j
'<>f tin* United States, and in tie* ex
pectation and belief that Congress j
, will devise and adopt some means
that will restore the Commonwealth
to the control of its own citizens.
At the suggestion of prominent
Democrats of the country, a meeting
will he held some time this week,
consisting of leading Democrats from
each State, to consider the political j
situation. It is understood that ex- !
j Governor Magoffin, of Kent,u< k\, will

i found in the HecorrqHinybTg doeu- i

Washington, Jan. 11. At the expi- i
j ration of the morning hour Mr. Clay-1
■ ton called u] the resolution calling j
I on the Secretary of War for a copy of j
Major Merrill’s rei*ort on the Coti
i shatta disorders.
Mr. Davis asked if this was the:
; same Major Merrill who had in South !
Carolina and Louisiana committed I
outrages on inoffensive citizens, hand
| cuffing them, &c., and who was now *
under arrest V
Mr. Clayton said that Maj. Merrill j
! was a gallant officer and soldier, who .
like every other officer of the army I
i and of the Government who did his
i duty in th*> South, was mad*- the sub
ject of abuse aud misrepres<*nt;ition. !

j objected.
SPEECH OF SENATOR SCHURZ.
Mr. Schurz then called up his roteo
lution of instruction to the Judiciary
j Committee on Louisiana affairs. He
, said he approached this subject in no
partizan spirit; he was about to retire
to private life; he had no interest in
the success of any party except that
which all had whose childrens* fa
thers were bound with that of the
Republic. The news which had eoßie
from Louisiana, of an instance which
COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1875.
• had occurred for the 1 first- time in our
history, had profoundly alarmed
him. It lmd been said that, it was
premature to discuss this matter in
advance of authentic information,
but the information which ho lmd
was so full that not much of impor
tance was left. He argued earnestly
that the true solution of difficulties
in the South was the establishment
of local self-governments in all the
States. He referred to n prediction
made that if Conservatives obtained
possession of Georgia, Virginia and
North Carolina, there would Ik* a car
nival of crime ami a sea of blood.
Well, those predictions had not come
to pass. These States wore as order
ly ns uuy of the rest; life and proper
ty was as much respected.
lit reference to tlu* cries of intimi
dation, he said he doubted not that
terrorism and intimidation were prac
ticed, but it was not all on one side.
He had seen in North Carolina a ne
| gro maltreated and stoned by those
| of his o\vn color, because he had an
nounced his intention of supporting
I the Conservative ticket. There is a
! law in the statute books prohibiting
tlu* threats to discharge employees if
I they vote a certain ticket, yet the U.
i S. Government follows this practice
| whenever its aim reaches in north
and south the east and west. When
the day comes that the colored vote
will be divided then there will be
security, full and absolute, for col
ored people, for both parties will vie
with each other in efforts to secure
that vote. This was the exact expe
rience of the adopted citizens and
so would it be with the colored man.
He confessed that he preferred the
conservative government of Virginia
to the republican governmgnt of Lou
isiana, and he believed the vast ma
jority of the American people would
say t In* same thing,

had refused to answer unless he was

Washington, January 11. A spe

statement, saying he was not so fero
cious as people supposed. All lie
wanted to accomplish was the
breaking up of all secret
armed organizations, whether
white or black. Ho thought
that order and good government
could not exist lien*, until this was
achieved. In illustration, ho cited
the ease of Judge Myers, of Rapids
parish, who lately arrived in this
city. This morning, although born in
the parish, he had to steal away in
the night on account of the League
in his section, and a short linn* ago
lie was unable to visit his sick father.

Special to the Timkh, by s. A A. Line.]
IlitooKLVN, January 11. The City
Court was crowded early this morn
ing to hear tho proceedings in the
Beeehcr-Tiltou ease. The counsel on
botli sides appeared. About 11 o’clock
Tilton and Moulton appeared, and
shortly after they were followed by
Henry Ward aud Mrs. Beecher.
Scores of prominent members of Ply
mouth Church were present.
Ex-Judge Morris opened for the
plaintiff ut 11.45 o’clock. He began
by telling the jury the nature of tho
charge made against Boecher; coun
sel were prepared t<? show that crimi
nal conduct began as early as the 3d
of July, 1870. Ho read from authori
ties to show it was not necessary to
prove tho actual commission of the
offense; but ho would show the act
of adultery by tho defendant's con
fession and letters.
Morris occupied the entire day. He
dwelt at length upon Beecher’s letters
to Tilton, and read with considerable
pathos the famous letter of apology.
He said but one construction could
lie placed upon such a message. He
referred to the visit to Moulton, the
night of December 30th, 1870,0n which
occasion the defendant was accused of
the crime by Moulton, and said that
any man innocent of tliat terrible of
fense would have hurled his traducer
from him, and openly denounced him
as a blackmailer. Instead of this, lie
sits down and writes an apology to
Tilton. He next referred to the fact
of extracting a denial from Mrs. Til
ton, and commented upon it. At |
this moment Morris turned toward
Beecher. His left hand contidingly
rested on his wife’s shoulder, and be
tween the lingers was a delicate slate
book on which Beecher had been
taking notes. Resuming, Morris
spoke feelingly of the tender love
Tilton bore his wife, and how his
home had been made desolate by the
mart who should have boon tho first
to spread the mantle of proeection
over it.
Court I lieu took recess.
Mr. Morris lias not attempted to
speak on any new matter arising out
of the controversy, but lias kept ou
the worn path, and has disclosed
nothing but what lias already been

natural causes. The children, who j
live in an adjoining town, were then
notified, but not being satisfied, they
called iu a physician, who with
several other physicians, made a post
mortem examination, and, finding
nothing which seemed a sufficient
cause for his death, they removed 1
the stomach and vitals and have
submitted them to a chemist for ex
