Importance, and somo of tho members
were anxious to know why the meeting
was caiiea. nobody gavo them the In
formation they required, and after some
unimportant talk the committee ad
journed subject to call. One solitary
resolution was adopted, ns follows:
"That the chairman and secretary of this
committee put themselves In correspond
ence with the various county committees
of the State, looking to nu early and ef
fective organization ot the State, nnd re
port tho condition of the organization at
the next meeting ot the committee.''
WHAT ABKaTBOXG TlflNKN.
Hon. Mr. Armstrong, of r.a Salle, n
gentleman wc respect and whose Judge
ment upon political matters we hold In
high esteem, attended tho meeting of the
Democratlc.'State Central committee, held
at Chicago, a few days ago. In conver
sation with a TiuuB reporter, Hon. Mr.
Armstrong expressed the opinion that
tho Democratic party will continue to
move on In the old foolish Democratic
line. Tho Hon. Mr. Armstrong Is n lit
tle Indefinite, and wc hope he Is mistaken.
'I he Democratic parly has had
much experience, and should
have learned wisdom by this
time. Wo believe it has ; and that It will
cueceed even in the face or the great ef
fort! being made by men like Hen Hill
and Jeff Davis to detent It. But, ly tha
way, wo don't agreo with tho Hon. Mr.
Armstrong that tho way the Democratic
party can act not foolishly is to Induce
the Decature convention to nominate
Stewart, of Kendall county, nnd then
nominate him also. Who is Stewart?
We don't know, and we cannot believe
that the hope of Democrutlo success
Is Stewart. In our opinion the Demo
cratic party should pursue a straight-far
war course lu Uie approaching canvass.
It should adopt un honest platform, put
competent and honest men upon that
platform and go into the tight with a
vim. A united opposition Ik desirable,
hut wo would rather be delcated than
have the unity of the opposition result
by the surrender of candidates and plat
form to the pcoplo calling themselves lu
dependents. With thesj people we arc
willing to treat, -but to thein wo arc un'
willing to surrender. Defeat Is prefer
blc to stultification.
THE IMPEACHMENT Of AMEN.
Tho Hon. lieu Hill, and the Hon. Hob
Toombs, and the Hon. Jofl Davis, have
done the Radicals some service and they
know It; and now the Democrats of
Louisiana are getting ready to contrib
ute tbclr mite to Itadlcal sucees by rais
ing a big row. The Democrats of Mis
sissippi, determined to permit no South
era Democrats to go before them lu kind
offices In behair of tho Republican party,
bar made up their minds to kick Ames
ut of the office ot governor. This act of
foolishness is to be consumuated because,
lu Uia language of a correspondent of tlie
Vlckaburg Mtrald, people beltevc :
That Governor Ames commlttcd;a Irtish
crime and misdemeanor In foisting him
self upon the people as governor ; he not
being in the Intent and tnoaulug of the
word, a citizen of the Stat.
That In appointing Judiciary officers
without th advlco and consent of the
senate, he violated the constitution and
his oath of office.
That after appointing such offlcers, he
removed them without the Impeachment
or iMldreu, as required by the constitu
tion. TtotvrlthhU approval, laws were en.
actai cieatdug oces hitherto anknown
to 4m fcoiwUeutlen or to the history or
thogtlf, ajhithtt tw tilted such offices
by appointing to them, persons who ere-
atetl them and Used their emoluments
rontrary to tho constitution.
Tlint the governor undertook, by
menus of nu act parsed by his conui
vnucc, nnd with his approval, to control
the Itcpubllcan press of the State, and (o
build up a press subsidized to bis sup
port for a re-election to the 1 nlted States
senate.
That he absents liluuclf from the

That he Is directly and Indirectly re

Washington, D. C, Feb. 7, TO.
AltT XOTF.S.
Tho opening of the Corcurnn art gal
lery, some years ago, gave a decided and
wholesome Impetus to the appreciation
and cultivation of tho Hue arts at the na
tional capital. Previous to that time,
congress was n sort of dry nur.-c to n.
pirlng artists, nnd tho cupltol n scml-edu
catlonal establishment, where the knights
of the paletto '.could go and study not
Turner ami Van Dvck, It Is true ; but
Trumbull and Vanderlyn, whose paint
ings have adorned the rotunda, lo! this
many a year! Now the Curearan art gal
lery, which Is freo and open to the public
three days in the week, vies with the cap
itol, and successfully, too; for while it
has uo painting on the magnificent caie
of Powell's "Rattle on Lake Ki le," it has
a good many that arc n great deal smaller
and n great deal better too ; and then It
ha?, besides,- the advantage, that politics
never enter Into the consideration, when
u picture is to bo bargained for, which Is
much mora than can be said truthfully of
the national picture gallery ut the capi
tal, where the political standing of nu
artist desirous orjobtalnlng n connoisseur
Is often enquired Into with greater care
than his professional standing as an artJt.
I was led to these reflections because
Just now, art matters form the chief
topic of conversation and discussion
among that better class of society, whose
sole ambition Is not to overdo and out
dress their fellowmcn aud woman at pub
lic halls and receptions. Fortunately,
Washington, though well tilled with
shoddy," has a fair ballast of people
who combine wealth vltli good taste and
good sense ; and very dlflercnt lu their
tenor arc the latter circle as compared
with (ho former. The Hon. (,'corgo linn
croft, tho eminent historian, stands Jat
the head (now whon the inimitable "Carl
Benson" has passed away) of n cottrir. of
most delightful people, without whom
those of us w ho, once in a while, tin get
tired ot receptions, Hermans and "pud
ding lunehes,"1'would, pass but a sorry ex
Istauec. Their homes nre refreshing oa
ses in the Sahara of polities, Intrigue, and
gayety that rules Washington, and one
breathes freer nnd thinks better ot the
world for their presence among iik.
nito.N.K vaskk ion i hi: capuoi, uiiui.woi
Rut receiioni not montm. Resides the
works of art now in (he eapitol, several
will shortly be placed outside of it, and
among theten palrof nt-uguillccnt bronze
vases measuring, each, fix Uet by ten;
t,eic nuper edges standing about twelve
feet huoto thu loot-paths which lead due
cast from the main portico of thccapltnl.
Onu ot these vases, which h now lu posi
tion and will be unveiled lu a fen- day.
I had n peep at ycstcrd.iy. It Is oblong
In shape, elaborately decorated with
leaves nnd other appropriate designs, nml
has been lluUhcd with the grentett care
and nicety. When tilled (as It Is Intended
to be) with Dowering and trailing plant,
it will, with iU mate, opposite, form one
of the most beautiful features in any ot
the public grounds, and will be a great
improvement to the approaches to the
eapitol from the cat. The cost ot these
two vases Is about tx thousand dollars
each, which is considerably less than the
cost of tho famous bronze doors, that also
are among the attractions ol the eapitol,
one of which cost one hundred thousand
dollars, and the other llfty-llve thousand.
The entire value of the objects of art in
and about tho eapitol Is between two and
three millions of dollars ; but It should
be remembered that many of these ob
jects, now placed In the old hall of repre
sentatives, uro the gifts of several or the
Slates, New York having recently con
tributed two, viz: bronzo statues, of
heroic size, or Clinton and Livingston.

A most interesting place to visit lu
Washington, Just now, Is the so-called
Stercrson collection ot paintings and
statuary, which Is open to the public ev
ery day In tho week except Sunday. Mr.
Stcrerson, who died In Paris lu Decem
ber last, was envoy extraordinary mid
minister plenipotentiary or the monarch
ies or Sweden and Norway to this coun
try ; and during his long residence
abroad, previous to his appointment
to Oils country, lie accumu.
lated one ot the largest and llnest
private galleries of pictures and statuary
to be found In tho United States. His
paintings, which arc now on exhibition
and offered lor sale, attract largo crowds
dally; nnd connoUmin are here from
Chicago, Roiton, Philadelphia and Now
York with a view to Investment. Nearly
very one of the paintings is by a famous
master, and rarely, Indeed, Is such a gal
axy ol real works of art been collected
together. Among recent purchasers of
paintings from thu collection are
Senator Edmunds oT Vermont, .'udge
Aldls of New llampsluie, nml D.
Lathrop, Esq., ol Chicago. Many visit
ors have come (o Vahlngton from dis
tant parts of tlie country expressly to
examine this collection, which east, when
purchased, between rorty nnd llfty thou
sand dollars, and Is now offered, singly,
nt prices less than one-third of the orig
inal cost. Among the paintings Is a view
or "Mt. Adams, Oregon, nt sunrise," by
Blerstadt, which cost $1,000, and Is now
offered for $400.

On Tuesday night last, Washington
was startled by a big blow, which played
sad havoc with awning, chimneys
fences, and especially with tho tall
spire or the Metropolitan M. II. church
The steeple swayed to and fro. and oi
the follow lug day the street lending pat
the church was blocked by order of the
police, to prevent accident ll the plrc
should tall, us was nioiuentailly ex
peeled. A large crowd had assembled
lu the neighborhood, watching the tot
tcrlng structure, which, alter all, dlap
pointed the lookers-on nnd did not topple
over. " 1 here she goes !" cried one, as ii
heavy gust of the hurricane swayed the
top of the spire nt least six feet out ol
the perpendicular; but "she did not go,
although she camo very near It, and
cxteii'lve repairs will have to he made to
make tho steeple, which Is two hundred
and thirty feet high, in a safe condition
again.
Tne hurricane did considerable dam
age to property both In Wnhlngtuu and
Georgetown ; but, fortunately, no live
were lost. Had the ctceple fallen, It
would have crushed in tlie roofs of the
houses oppo'lle, which, anticipating the
probability of such tin event, had been
temporarily vacated by order of the po
lice. ocii:tv !0'II.
Society ha, during tho past week, been
as gay, It not gayer, u ever, and there
has scarcely been a night of rest. The
parties glve.i by ex-flovernor Shepherd,
.MlnKter Thornton, and linn. I ernandn
Wood, were nothing if not brilliant ; It
Is dllllcnlt to say which was the most so.
A soirtt dunvtntt given on Tuesday even

THE BABCOCK TRIAL.
Counsel for the Defense Pro
poso to Tako tho Presi
dent's Deposition,
While District-Attorney Dyor De
mands an Opportunity for
a Cross-Examinatioii.
A Compromise Agreed Upon.
The St. Louis Times of yesterday gives
the following account of the proceedings
in tho Hahcock trial on Wednesday, Just
before thu noon adjournment :
un: rnr.HiunxT'.s ti:stimo,v.
.Mr. Storw nroie and Mild :
i olk Ho.vons Uefore ndlournmciir. nf
court l desire, In behalf of tho defendant.
to iniiKO u pioposilion lo tne learned
counsel on the oilier side. In n conver
sation with Col. Dyer this mornlm-. 1
understood him to say thu government
nuiiithu an uie weeK in presenting its
case. Vi e had Intended to have thu per
sonal attendance of the president, as a
witness ror tne ueicn.se, nut Irom the
inanuer the case hits opened, we think we
can dispense with his attendance lu
person, and aro anxious to do so. In the
exigencies ol public alfalrs It Is dllllcnlt
tor the president to leave the capital Just
now, ami i3 my leanred friends on tho
oila-r side arc both public otllcers they
"in luauiii UMUt'l -I.IIIH WUS. 10 ivoid
calling him here, I desire that my friends
ot the prosecution will Join with iw In a
commission to the president with nil the
questions, and that thu answers may be
taken before thu ehlel hutlce. There
will be ample time for the deposition to
he taken anil returned here before It Is
required In thu case.
Col. Dyer This U a matter. 1 think,
with which the court has nothing to do.
If the gentlunian de-ires to have any
depositions taken It Is a matter to bu de
cided between the counsel; at thu same
time 1 am perfectly willing to confer w lib
tho gentleman and see upon what points
It Is proposed to question the President,
and it theso questions can be answered,
by deposition, without detriment to the
government In this ease, I will consent
readily ; but if alter wn see wlut line or
questions are to he propounded, I dis
cover that the Picldcnt's pre-ence is
necessary, I shall
nixMNr. lo ,un:i:
to any deposition. As I .taled this morn
ing tfiu government will take the entire
week in the prosecution of this c.ve, nnd
I say to my Irlcnas on tho other side that
anything 1 can do to uccouimodatn them
I shall grant with pleasure.
Mr. Storrs 'I'liu reason I made tlie re
quest openly before the Court U (hat It
may require an adjournment ol a half or
thiee-quartcrs of an hour longer than
usual in order to glyu us time for tho con
ference. I desire to sny that our friends
on thu other side have treated u. with the
utmost kindness and cordiality and have
accommodated us whenever asked.
Colonsl Dyer I have no objection to
the conference being held at once if tho
court will grant time by lengthening the
reecs.
bulge Dllllon We usually tako recess
until J o'clock; will halt past two slvc von
sullicienttlme?
-Mr. Storrs Tho Interrogations wanted
aro very long, but I think until :i o'clock
will bu time enough for us. Wu will ap
point ns early a tlmo as possible atier re
cess for tho learned counsel on the other
side to confer with us In regard to this
matter.
The court then reminded the Jury ot
thu Instructions given yesterday uud or
dered a recess until 3 o'clock.
thi: I'BKsim-.vr s nr.rosino.v.
The court opened at 3 p.m. and Colo
nel Dyer said : With regard to the mat
ter raised this morning, wu have con
ferred with thu counsel mid have entered
Into a stipulation.
We desire to prepare counter Interro
gatories, mid lu order that wo may have
time to do so, nnd that , the counsel can
leave this evening for Washington, so
that they can arrive in time to have the
deposition taken on Saturday, we nsk
that the court adjourn now until to
morrow morning. Wo havo not had
tlmo since tho adjournment of court to
properly nrrango the questions to bo
asked. The dctemo lias furnished us
with certain Interrogatories which they
propose to send on, and wu want to ex
umine then; nnd prepare our own.
Judge Porter We unite, your honor,
In thu request made,
Storrs Tho terms ot tho stipulation
nre that the deposition shall be taken
orally. This involves tho necessity of
some iimo more lime. In fact. It will ho
seen than to prrpive the deposition here
Dyer The government will be repre
sented at wnsiungton by nssociaie coun
sel, and It Is necessary that wo have time
to advise or consult In regard to thu in
terrogatories we dcklio to put.
The court Tho iiiggcstlon was made
by counsel this morning as to tho proba
ble duration of this (rial. Of course conn
sol nre better advised than the court a
what time will he required, hut (he fact
that our time I valuable tons must not
ik jus!, sijjnt oi. niereiore, counsel
must not relv too much nunn tin, in,t,,i.
genci of the court In the matter of time.
Ol course wc do not desire to urge such
haste ns would prove detrimental to the
Interests ol cither party, but no time
must bo needlessly lost. Wo think, how
ever, that the request now mndo must be
granted. Knowing that congress Is now
In session, we appreciate tho force of the
suggest ion mndo by couiinel this morning
a. to the expediency of the president's'
absenting himself from Wnsfilngton nt
IhU time. It will probably save time lo
nllow thu alternoon for the purpose ol
preparing questions, In order that the
icposiiinn may no Drought hero n eailv
ns possible, thu obviating the otherwise
lOMbln necpcully or wnlllmr IVir II,., I....
ilniony at tho end of tho trial. Wu hope,
however, the counsel will be ready to
proceed without further delay, to-inor-
juw illuming.
The court adjourned.
Thu counsel for thu defense had pre
pared a line oi question which Ihey pro
posed lU'oiioiiudlii'r to the in-,, .M., i, , I..
writing, and when .Mr. Storrs, before re-
cr.s yesterday, asited lor n longer rece
than usual, tlmt n conference might be
held between the counsel on both fides,
his object was to have thu prosecution
prepare a line of eross-tjuesilou. At
J o'clock p.m., Col. Dyer nnd Col. Itroad
head for the government, mid .Mr. Storrs
ami .lunge rorier lor tlie detcnu met at

the nroDosed iiuestlon. I'ni. lit
ho thought n belter method wo'uld bo lo

compelling the president's personal at

For the l.'nlted State?,
'lhcieare two forms lu which deposi
tions may be legally taken. Onu Is that
of wilting uuestlous and cros-onetl..iu
which are submitted for answer under
oath. That Is the form that was sug
gested by the defense. Tho other Is to
have both sides represented bv counsel
and n direct and cross-examination made,
just the samu a with a wltncs on the
stand. The question nml answers, the
latter given under oath, nre then submit
ted to the court in writing. The latter Is
the plan by which tlie President's deposi
tion will bo taken.
Immediately after tlie adjournment ot
the court In the nltcrnoon, Colonel Dver
ami Colonel Hroadhcnd repaired to the
Cnltcd States District Attorney's ofllce to
prepare Instructions lor the attorney who
will represent the government In taking
the President's deposition. Mr. Storrs,
Judge Porter nnd Judge Kriiui spent the
alternoon nt the I.lndell. lu drawing up
Instruction for tho counsel who will rep
resent the defendant In this matter.
The counsel for the government were
In closw consultation during the entire
afternoon, and one of the first conclusions
they arrived at was to end .Major I.uclen
Katun to Washington to represent thu
prosecution In the matter of taking the
president's deposition. Major L'atou de
parted for the Capital last night with bis
Instruction, on an errand that, perhaps,
no man has ever bcroru been commis
sioned to perform in the history of the
American Union. Ills instructions were
few; he has been representing the gov
ernment throughout the whiskey trial
aad thoroughly understands what Is re
quired of him In the performance of this
duty. Ho was merely advised to eros
cxamlnu the president as rigidly as the
questions put by thu dcfciiu mnv iu
quire; to net as il be were cross-examining
n witness ,on the stand who
did nol occupy thu highest
position within the gift of thu
jieople. While fulfilling tins ilutv Major
Katon's natural good sense and" judge
ment will guldu him lu extending to thu
president that respect which his position
deserves. It was bejaiisu of hi eminent
lltne.ss for thu position that Major Katou
Is selected, and (hosu who have, slneu It
was agreed not to call the president hi
In person, pronounced tho agreement as
A trick to avoid putting the chief magis
trate through the test of a cross-examination,
may withdraw their complaints uud
rest content.
Thu attorney selected by the defense to
represent thofr aldo of the ensu In this
inatterls Mr. W. A. Cook,of Washington,
apparently nn obscure lawyer, as both
Mr. Storrs and Colonel Luckey declared
to a 2'imM reporter that they knew noth
ing about him.
It Is expected that the deposition will
reach hero by next Monday, but ns tho
stipulation prescribes that It shall he
taken next Saturday, It connot reasona
bly bo expected before Monday nlcht.
