THE BKLK.\AP TKIAL.
SOUTHERN SENATORS OE NOTE WHO ARE
LIKELY TO BE HEARD IN THE IMPEACH
MENT CASE.
Washington Correspondence of the N. Y. World.)
It will be remembered that one ol
the high crimes charged against An
drew Johnson was that he denied the
legality of the Thirty-ninth Congress
on account of this very non-represen
tation. Now, with the single excep
tion ef Louisiana, all the States are
represented in some sort, and unless
I much mistake, some of the South
ern Senators will play prominent
parts in the Belknap trials and the
other impeachments that are liable
to follow. Watching the Southern
delegation from day to day, it is im
possible to avoid noticing one
marked distinction between its mem
bers, or rather that the delega
tion from the South is divided into
two distinct divisions-the genuine
Southerner and tiie carpet-bag
ger, between whom there is no
comparison, except it be an odious
one for the latter- The carpet-bag
gers, Spencer, Dorsey, West, Powell,
Clayton, and that sort, are, without
exception,nonentities or worse. They
take little part in the proceedings,
except to vote invariably with the
Republican party, often arriving
only just in time to vote, and then
voting on instruction, without hav
ing heard the question discussed,
and then apparently caring very lit
tle about it. The genuine Southern
ers, on the other hand, are almost
us unanimously men of marked abil
ity, men who from their very nature
must have been leaders of iho South
during the wai, men who mustof ne
cessity now lead the South within
the Union, and who are determined
to do it, spite of the strenuous efforts
of Morton and Blaine to make them
political outlaws who have no politi
cal rights except by the sufferance of
the Republican party. Several of these
men have already won their spurs in
the Senate Chamber, and whenever
they rise to speak command the at
tention of the Senate equally with
Conkiing and Morton. No face in
the Senate is moro strongly marked,
and none oftener inquired about, than
Gen. Gordon, of Georgia; a man of
strong convictions, of first-class abil
ity, and a line orator. On the score
of oratory, however, none of the
Southerners lead Gen. Ransom, of
North Carolina, who almost divides
the oratorical honors with MeCreery,
of Kentucky, surnamed the Daniel
Webster of the Senate. Ransom it
was who was forced by the fortune of
war to surrender his sword to our
own Sherman, but he is none the less
an able Senator for all that, and is
said to have only one weakness, viz.:
that his heart is a great deal larger
than hi) pocket. He is a man of fine
appearance, squarely built, with an
abundance of fine hair and full beard,
just beginning to tinge with gray.
Norwood, of Georgia, is another of
the noteworthy Southerners. Like
his colleague, lie is spare of flesh and
has the same determined set of the
jaw, albeit he is minus the sign of the
deep saber cut across the left cheek
which Gordon willalways carry, to
gether with the marks of fifteen or
sixteen other wounds as lifelong me
mentoes of the rebellion. With
ers, of Virginia, is taking a not
less prominent rank than the others,
while Maxey, of Texas, a graduate of
West Point, ex-P. M. General Reagan
of the Confederacy, tall, lank and
overflowing with chunks of common
sense, leads the very strong delega
tion in the present Congress. But
the list of genuine Southerners might
be gone through and not a weak
man found among them, and, as I
said in the beginning, some of them
will have a national reputation be
fore the impeachment trials are over.

A HEARTLESS FATHER BREAKS THE NECK
AND CRUSHES THE SKULL OF HIS OWN
CHILD—HE BROILS ANOTHER ON LIVE
COALS!
From the Troy (Ala.) Enquirer.)
A correspondent at Bullock, Cren
shaw county, furnishes us the follow
ing account of the tragedy at Bose
Hill, Covington county, which was
obtained from Dr. Colquitt, who con
ducted the pout modem examination
of the murdered infant at the inquest.
The facts are given in the Doctor’s
own words, viz.:
I was on a professional visit at the
house of Mr. Dauphin, on the even
ing of the 25th inst., when I learned
that the sudden death of an infant of
one John Tiilis, on the night of the
21st, had created considerable excite
ment in a quiet way. In fact, the
ladies who shrouded the body said
that its neck was broken. On making
inquiry I learned that Mrs. Tiilis,
after the burial of her babe, had left
her husband aud gone to her fat her’s.
I requested Mrs. Dauphin to send for
her, as I was anxious to learn the
particulars of the dreadful affair.
This was accordingly done, and she
and her mother, Mrs. Thomas, came
to see me. Mrs. Tiilis, being afraid
that her husband would murder her
also, was very reticent. I learned
enough, however, to satisfy me that
Tiilis was either a murderer of the
deepest dye, or that he had been
terribly slandered. I proposed that
a yvarraut should immediately
be issued for his arrest and deten
tion, subject to the decision of a jury
if inquest, urging as a reason that
if he was innocent, his character
should be vindicated, and that if he
was guilty, his remaining at large
was an outrage on the community.
Most of the company, however, were
opposed to this, aud it was finally
decided that an inquest should be
held first. No further steps were
taken until the next day about noon,
when the body having been exnumed,
slid coroner’s jury empannelled, I
proceeded to display the dislocation
in the following manner: I divided
the cervical fascia longitudinally
from just behind the ear to the first
dorsal vertebra and then refiexed the
integument, down to the bones of the
neck, in the presence of the jury
ind about a hundred spectators. 1
found that the joint between the first
and second servical vertebra was
lislocated to such an extent that the
linger could bo inserted between the
separated bones, the space being
illled by a clot of blood. There was,
also, palpable fracture of occiput
near the center, but to make assur
ance doubly sure, I displayed this
by reflexing the scalp from the base
of the skull to tbe top of the head.
The cranial fracture was about the
size of a silver quarter dollar, the
brain underneath almost black with
clotted blood.
The evidence of the heart-broken
mother was then taken,which was in
substance as follows: On Monday
night the 20th inst. the baby being
very cross she asked Mr. Tillis to get
up and make a light. He refused to
do so; and she got up and kindled a
lire, when Tillis, with many profane
oaths, said that he did not intend to
be troubled in this way much longer,
and asked how she would like to
sleep without the child the next
night. She told him that she should
not sleep without it unless God took
it from them. He replied that she
would be apt to do so; and the next
night at the supper table, the baby
being very frettul, she handed it to
its father at his request, and went to
a sideboard to get some medicine for
it. When she handed him the baby
he turned his back to her, and when
she got the medicine he said to her,
“you needn’t get any more drops for
it, for you’ve killed it with a pin,”
at the same time returning the child
to her.
When she took the babe in her
arms, the blood was gushing from
its nose and mouth, audit instantly
expired.
.She stated further that he was very
cruel to his other children, they be
ing all the time afraid to cry. That
he sat one of them naked upon a bed
of live coals, burning it in a most
shocking manner. In fact she de
scribed him as a perfect fiend incar
nate.
There could be but one opinion as
to the verdict. A warrant was then
issued for the arrest of the murderer,
and a party of ten well-armed men
set out in search of him. Having
learned that he was stopping at the
house of a neighbor, four of the
posse went there, and he being out
at the time, secreted themselves in
the house till he should return. They
had not been waiting very long when
he came, and one of the party, when
he was within thirty steps of the
door, sprang forward, covering him
with his gun, and demanded a sur
render. He surrendered ; but as two
of them were returning with him, in
passing a dense thicket, he ran. One
of the men tired at him, probably
missing him, and the other gun
missed fire. So he made his escape
and at last accounts was still at
lurge.
THE OTHER SIDE CANED.
GENERAL CUSTER THRASHES A CLAIM
AGENT.
Washington, March 30.—General
Custer was the hero of a severe caning
affair, in which E. W. Rice, a claim
agent here, was the worsted party.
Rice has long been the medium
through whom a large part of the
post-tradership money passed from
the buyers to General Belknap. Gen
eral Custer’s testimony tended to
prove this, the General testifying,
among other tnings, that he had been
told that in a certain instance a post
tradership was secured through the
paymeutof $5,000 to Rice. He replied
by a newspaper card, in which he
said that if General Custer did say
that any money was ever paid to him
(Rice) fer post-tradership he was a
liar. To-night Custer met Rice on G
street and gave him a very severe
caning.

THE TIMES.
COLUMBUS, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1870.
CONGRESSIONAL.
WEDNESDAY, A I’111!. Si 11.
SENATE.
Washington, April s—Mr. Ed
munds called attention to the third
rule, in the matter of impeachments,
which provides for the administering
of oaths to before proceed
ing to the trial, by the President of
the Senate. Tho committee to take
charge of the impeachment proceed
ings discovered that there was no
provision of law authorizing the Pres
ident pro tem. to administer such
oath. He therefore moved that the
rule in this matter be suspended for
the present. The law only empower
ed the President of the Senate to ad
minister the oath to Senators when
they presented themselves to be
sworn in. Ho said the committee
would presently introdneo a bill, so
as to provide for cases hereafter, giv
ing power to the President of the Sen
ate to administer the oath to Sena
tors in impeachment cases, and to
tho Secretary of the Senate or Chief
Clerk the power to administer the
oath to witnesses. He proposed now
that the Chief Justice be requested to
attend the Senate chamber at ten
o’clock and administer the oath.
Mr. Ingalls asked if there was any
provision giving the Chief Justice
power to administer the oath in such
oases.
Mr. Edmunds said, by a general
provision of law the Chief Justice
was empowered to administer oaths
in all cases.
Mr. Edmunds then submitted an
order that a committee of Senators
be appointed to wait on the Chief
Justice of the United States and re
quest him to attend in the Senate
Chamber at 1 o’clock i>. nr., and ad
minister the oath to Senators in the
matter of the impeachment of W. W.
Belknap, late Secretary of War.
At the suggestion of Mr. Hamlin,
Mr. Edmunds modified his motion so
as to provide that in case of tlie ina
bility of the Chief Justice to attend,
one of the Associate Justices be in
vited to officiate.
The order was adopted, and the
Chair appointed as a committee to
wait on the Chief Justice, Messrs.
Edmunds and Thurman.
Mr. Morton suggested that Sena
tors be sworn as a body in theii
seats.
Mr. Thurman said in that case
there might be some difficulty in re
cognizing what Senators took the
oath.
At 1 p. m., Messrs. Edmunds and
Thurman, committee appointed to
wait on the Chief Justice, appeared
with that functionary and conducted
him to the President’s chair.
The President pro tem.—' “The hour
of one having arrived, the Senate
will, according to order, proceed with
the consideration of articles of im
peachment against W. W. Belknap,
lute Secretary of War. Tho Chief
Jusiice will take a seat on the right
of the chair. Senators will now give
attention while the oath is being ad
ministered.”
The Chief Justice then administer
ed the oath as follows :
To tiie President pro tem: “You
do solemnly swear that in all things
appertaining to the trial of the im
peachment of W. W. Belknap, now
pending, you will do impartial
justice according to the constitution
and laws.”
The roll was called, and Senators
advanced in groups of six and took
the oath as above.
The following Senators, being ab
sent, were not sworn: Messrs. Al
corn, Allison, Burnside, Coperton,
Christiancy, Conkiing, Conover,
Dennis, English, Goldthwaite, Howe,
Johnston, Jones of Nevada, Morrill
of Maine, Patterson, Ranson, Robert
son and Wadleigh.
The Chief Justice then retired,
escorted by the committee.
Atl:4or. m. the managers of the
impeachmentappeared and were con
ducted to their seats within the bar.
The President/iro tem. then announc
ed to the managers that the Senate
was organized and ready to proceed
with the trial of the impeachment
against W. W. Belknap.
Mr. Lord, speaking for the man
agers, said: “We ask for the issue of
a process against the accused.”
Mr. Edmunds then submitted an
order that a summons be issued as
required by the rules and practices
of the Senate when sitting on trials
of impeachment, returnable on Mon
day, 17th inst., at 1 p. m.— agreed to.
Mr. Lord announced that this was
satisfactory to the managers.
The managers thereupon retired.
Mr. Edmunds then submitted a mo
tion that the Senate, sitting as a
court of impeachment, adjourn to
Monday, 17th inst.
After some further discussion the
motion of Mr. Edmunds was adopted
by 38 to 10, and the chair declared
the Senate sitting on the impeach
ment trial adjourned to 12:30 p. m. on
the 17th of April.
The legislative business of the Sen
ate was then resumed.
Mr. Sherman called up House bill
authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to pay judgments so far ren
dered by the Court of Alabama
Claims Commissioners —passed.
Mr. Harulin called up bill to fix
postage on third class mail matter,
and for other purposes. Mr. Ham
lin addressed the Senate at length in
explanation of the report and action
of the committee. They meant, he
said, cheap postage. If Congress
adopted u wise system; making every
article that goes through' the mail
pay its equitable proportion of cost
of transportation, we can put letters
at two cents, and make the Depart
ment self-sustaining. This will
reach the whole people. It is be
cause a certain class of men want
their matters to go through mails at
half cost, that we have not been able
to make the service self-sustaining
with letters at two cents.
Adjourned without action.

Fire—The Flood in (lie Flint.
Special to Times by S. A A. Line.)
Foist Valley, Ga., April 4.— The
dwelling house of Mr. E. J. Houser,
of this place, was consumed by fire
last night, between one and two
o’clock. Tho furniture, doors, blinds,
sash, and even the mantles, were
saved. Very light insurance. Mr.
Houser loses about $2,000. The fire
originated from a defective flue in
tho chimnoy.
The recent rains have overflowed
the creeks and rivers in this section
to an alarming extent. The Flint is
higher than it has been for years be
fore. The railroad where it crosses
the river is covered with water for 800
feet, and although some of the road
is washed up, it is impossible to say
how much. The officers of the road
say that a transfer can be made by
to-morrow, and trains will run regu
lai ly again in a few days. The bridge
over Flint river at Montezuma is all
right, and no danger is apprehended

A PRESIDENTIAL’CALCULATION.
NEW YORK TO DECIDE THE CONTEST!
New York, April s.— ThelHorald editori
ally discusses Presidential calculations,
and gives a list of all Democratic and
Republican States, omitting New York,
with tho Electoral vote of each. The
number of Democratic States is given as
21, with a total Electoral vote of 172; and
16 Republican States, with a total Electo
ral vote of 102. The object of this tablo is
to show the importance of New York, the
omitted State in the county campaign.
The whole number of Electoral votes is
369, and the number necessary to a choice
185. The Herald, says the 35 Electoral
votes of New York will turn the scale and
decide the election. New York is doubtful
enough to demand strenuous efforts on
both sides. T ho chief problem to be solv
ed, both at Cincinnati and St. Louis, is
what candidate has the best chances of
carrying Now York.
Robbery of an Express sole.
Cleveland, April I.—A special dis

out of his pants during the night.
He hurried below where the safe was
found open with the key in the door.
The robber had carried off SI2,(MX) in

New York, April s.— After the
heavy rain storm of the past few
days, the weather is this morning
clear and the sun has once more
made its appearance.
Tile storm,although notoqual in ex

GRANT'S COMPLICITY.
DYER TELLS WHAT HE KNOWS-HE CON
VICTS THE PRESIDENT OF COMPLICITY
WITH UABCOCK.
Washington, April 3.- District At
torney Dyer, in his testimony, de
scribed his interview with Attorney
General Pierrepont. Bristow was
present. Pierrepont urged him to
be careful to allow no unnecessary
scandal to be stirred up against the
administration, but said that if
General Babcock was guilty, ho
should be minished. Dyer was much
astonished at the receipt of l’ierre
pont’s letter. He regarded it as a
letter which must inevitably inter
fere with trials, if it became public;
therefore, tie did not even allow his
assistants to see it, but locked it up
in his drawer where it has remained
until this time. A day or two after a
St. Louis editor called upon him and
said that a letter purporting to be
addressed to Dyer from the Attorney
General hud appeared in a St.-Louis
German paper; that a translation
had been made, but the editor wished
to verify ids translation by compar
ing it with the original. Dyer told
him ho had received a letter from
Pierrepont, but did not show it.
Dyer accounts for tho discrepancies
in the letter as Babcock had it print
ed in the German paper to its defec
tive translation.
While the grand jury was in ses
sion Dyer discovered that one of the
jury, named Fox, who was formerly
chairman of the Republican State
Committee of Missouri, was furnish
ing General Grant with information
of everything that occurred In the
grand jury room. He expressed the
opinion that this man Fox made use
of his position to curry favor with
the President, and I hut he preju
diced the President greatly aguinßt

Louis. Ho informed the President
