terve us a HiiiUi'ty trie.it by turning our sen
tences urnlcle down. In our article yesterday
onl' irc Marslinl Hlacktmrn's contest with the
Iloughf, the Intent ot n whole paragraph was
thus inadvertently perverted. A port loo of the
tire Marshal's conversation with the "buuk-
ers" should have re-vl lhu:
"He said it wf.KH duly tucv owed to the public
and especially to the people of tne neighbor
hood to free, their co-iipany from tho bad re
pute Into which it had fallen. He refurred to
the many fires, quoted particular lastauces ol
thone evidently incendiary, and charged that
in his investigations, u fact woieh is undoubt
edly so, he had been hindered rather than
aided to discover the guilty. When asked why
he did ltot. stop these incendiary nres. he said
that ho could do so, were thty ouly willing to
help hlra.and desist from throwing obstacles

Ttie Vlriiiiklit IteleKnliou,
to the number of thirty or forty, headed by
Ooveruor Wells, were before the Ueconstruc
tion Committee again this tnorninir, on the sub
ject of holding au election in that otato to
ratify the Constitution, and of tho early admis
sion to representation in Congress. Governor
Wells, L. II. Chadler, tbe U. S. District
Attorney for Virginia, and others were heard at
length, in argument, by the Committee. What
they want is to have the House adopt an
ameudment to Bingham's bill, which passed tho
House sonic weeks ago, and is now before the
Senate Judiciary Committee, providing for
an election to ratify Ihc Constitution at an early
day. The Ioupc refused to graut this bslore,
fcuiing that the Constitution would be defeated
if it was submitted to the people before the in
au;;urtion of Geueral Graut.
Tbe Honse Navnl Committee
heard a further argument this morning by D.
W. Gooch and W. K. Chandler, on behalf of
Messrs. Koach & Son, of New York, and En
gineer Zcller, in tho matter of the alleged
fraudulent purchase of tools and machinery for
the Philadelphia avy Yard. The Euqineer
Departmeut of the Navy has printed and pi iced
in the haLds of the members of the House a
pamphlet as au answer to the report of the
Naval Sub-commlttce, of which Judge Kelley is
chuirmau. In the meantime, the friends of the
engineers in the; House have so far succeeded
in keeping the report of the committee from
reaching the public.
Tlic Coumailf e oa I'nbllc Expenditures

tkration of Wtlls, Fargo & Co.' coutract with

who bid for the contract in the first instance, to
appear as witnesses. The Committee will to
morrow icsunic the investigation of the
Alaska I'iihkIh,
and expect to have Mai tin, for whom the Ser
geaot at-Arms has been looking so long, before
them. urtlu.it is alleged, has beeu here all
the tune, and he states that certaiu members of
the Committee refused to examine hiui because
they did not wsut some members of the House
implicated. Representatives of
Vhe Itryolite t'oiupiuij-,

Committee to day, urging that kryolite, of the
mpoitation of which they have a monopoly, be
admitted free of duty, and that a heavy tarltl be

LEGAL INTELLIQEH CE.
Vlie Trial of Mrs. TwUcheU.
Continued Irom kJirU 1'aae.
Cross eXHiulued The witness said that when
he saw Mrs. Twltuiiell at the door sue had
nothing on but h white petticoat and sack; she
had nothing ou her head, but did not notice
whether she was barefoot; sue appeared anxious
for lum to go in the house, saying "Oh, my
God I my pour mother has bueu murdered lu
the yard!"
The Commonwealth objected to what she
said as not beliiy evidence.
Mr. Mann arguid that this testimony was of
great linpottauce. If she were staudlug on the
doorstep keeping Kuaul, and telliug people to
go away while the body could be removed, it
would nave beeu a taroug argument agulust
hei ; but if she was there giving au alarm at
first, announcing the dreud calamity of the
murder of her ruuiber, it would show that her
presence on the doorstep tiud her conduct
there were thot-o cf uu lanoceut woman, aud for
these lessons he thought it admissible.
The Court ud milled evidence of Mrs.
Twlichell's ducliiialious, bncauso so far as the
c&se had pro;:i iH( d l hey seemed lo have been
made lu the exci'cmeui resulting from the
recent discovery tf the mm dor, and were part
of tho res ijvita.
The witu ebs resumed, saying that when he
saw Mrs. Twite!. ell on the doorstup, she ex
claimed, Oh, roy Gad! my poor mot nor has
been murdered; got a doctor und do something;
come in;" aud hib lrlend, Mr Leldy, then went
