TBt CHAFSEUB",
ft regiment which will always be distinguished
m ene of the raot brilliantly serviceable o(
those, that fought la dcfeme of the Union
daring the late civil war, have Juft been havlDg
reunion at the residence of General John
Cochrane. The different generals under whom
Vhe regiment fought were present, and the occa
Hon was graced by the attendance of beautiful
and distinguished women, who listened with
kindling eves to the thrilling memories which
W re related by their husbands and brothers,
The first toast that was druok, the company
ilent and Ptaudin, wan "Our dead la free
lom' Unlit." The Chasseurs have a more
rtcrling character than tho fur famed 7th Kegl
went. It was the lust regiment mastered oat of
the United States nrmvt It was among the
first to furnish men whose deeds have become
incorporated with the nation's history and
Sengs. It was entered upon tho roll of the State
of New York as the e.V.h Now York Volunteers,
and It first entered tho fk Id in the August of 'Cl.
tfeneral Newton, ductal Abercronible, General
Wnght, and General Franklin Smith were
among those assembled at General Cochrane s
mansion, and the most impressive feature of
the evening was tho host's recitation of a poem
entitled "Tho Chasseurs," aud embodying the
aeotiment of tho regiment. It was Geueral
(then Colonel) Cochrane' speech, It will be
lemembered, that first advocated the arming of
the slaves a fact which gave au iaipre9ive
significance to an occasion which' celebrated
the triumphs ot the Wilderness, Fair Cik, nnd
Malvern Hill.
Last July an
EX-DETECTIVE
of the Metropolitan Police force, and who had
for eome months become mate of a steamboat
plying between the city of Troy and one of the
JJorlh liver piers of this city, took on board a
van who, in exchange for his passage, agreed
to work his way hither. Tho man gave the
same of James Mahar, and as he was somewhat
demoralized iu point of drei-s, the mate made
him a present of a coat and a hat which had
been left behind by one of the passengers. The
man left the boat on the morning of the 19th
of July, and the ex-detcctive, who meanwhile
has engaged lu quite a viulety of businesses,
saw him only occasionally between that time
and the 22d of last month. Upon that date he
unexpectedly encountered blm in University
place, and greeted him with a friendly "Jim,
how are ycu?' The word "Jiai" seemed to
operate on tho man like a spur upon a mettle
some horse. He started and ran away, and
thereby put luto tho ex-detective's bauds the j
first clue that has proved of any value iu the !
elucidation of the Rogers murder mystery.
The name of this ex-detective is tho seus ition
drama one of Everett de la Noye. It almost
Bounds as if he were the heavy villain himself,
for in all my experience of the sensation drama,
that flawless mirror of nature, I have never yet
ome across a heavy villain without a romantic
same, or a detective with a respectable one. Be
this as it may, Everett de la Noye is the name of
the ex-detective in question, who upon coupling
"Jim's" strange behavioT with his own bus.
piclOUB, repaired forthwith to police head
quarter, arid, relating such circumstances as he
knew wou'd pro yoke the appetite of the
Officials there, all but negotiated to discover the
murderer, provided he should be rciriJta'ecl in
the position he had lost. Au agreement to this
effect was made, and the first thing De la Noye
did was to suggest a general ransacking of the
station houtes, which, it appears, be knew
Haher was in the habit of frequenting. One or
two evenings were spent in this business. In
course of time the trackers came to the Spring
Street Station House, at the portals of which
hey presented themselves at the healthy hoar
f 2 A. M a few mornings since. Amoug other
inmates they rapped up a young man who,
himself, was wrapped up la nothiug more than
t pair of pants, this airy attire constituting his
sleeping costume. By the dim light of the
dungeon lamp for dungeon it might be called
the exdetectlve recognized, or thought
he recognized, the countenance of the
dilapidated stranger who had come on board
the North river steamboat Blx or seven mo-iths
ftsro. At auy rate, he inslantly exclaimed,
"That's tho manl" whom he addressed as
'Jim," with the thrilling information that he
was "wanted." We you and I, reader who
nave never been told so, can hardly imagine
Low thrilling that one word "wanted" can be
ade to Bound. At that dread hour of two
hours after midnight it sounded to "Jim" like
the death-rattle from an incarnate gallows, and
le bad no time to speak before he was taken
into custody.
Whether this arrest is to furnish the last clues
lo the Rojers mystery is a question agitating
every mind of natural detective turn every
mind, that is, which has not long ere this grown
tired of the name of Rogers and of the army of
wrested myths connected with it.
JLYDIA THOMPSON
lias teen writing an ungrammatlcal and would
be withering letter to the Herald on the subject of
her hair, which she insists is naturally blonde.
Mow, who, I ask, cares a fig whether the hue of
Hiss Thompson's hair be produced by nature or
hj art, so long as it showers in sparkling golden
Bashes, and the art-lf art there be is Impercep
tible? Bo long as Miss Thompson minds her
own business, does not turn red and grow en
vious when BDOtber performer is more ap
plauded than she, and utters no bad jokes at
the expense of the theatre where she made her
American debut, people will forget that Bhe Is a
had actress; but the moment she writes un
grammatlcal notes to the Hera'd, and is guilty
cf other public unprettlnefses, they will cease
to remember that she makes up, by gaslight,
Into a beautiful womau.

AN 1HD1GXAM COXBKKSSMAX.
lie Oeclurcs his Opinion of Senantion
letter- Wrlle.ru.
The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald of this morning writes:
The sessions of the House Com mitten on
Public Expenditures are becoming quite Inte
resting iu consequence ef the two important
investigations with which they are charged, to
wit, the Aluska corruption fund and the Wells
Furgo contract. Some of the correspondents
here are getting themselves ioto the hottest
kind of water In connection with these lively
Investigations. A young gentleman who cor
responds lor a New York evening paper was
examined In relation to a statement he made
recently, charging the com mitteo with unfair
ness in not Bummoniug certain witnesses who
conld furnish some light about tbe Wells Faieo
contract, llewasa-ked upon what authority
he had made the statement, and said that bu
informant was air. Spaids. Mr. Broomall, or
Pennsylvania, inquired of the witness if he did
not know the statement was a lie ?
Coirespondcnt No, sir: I had reason to be
lieve the information reliable.
Air. Broomall Why did you not ask the com
mittee about the matter?
Correspondent Because I find' It difficult,
generally, to cct any information from mem
bers, aud,herefore have to seek it in other
quarters.
Mr. Broomall Arc jou not in the habit of
writing sensational paragraphs because they
pay better?
Coirespondcnt No, sii; I write what I con
sider true.
Air. Broomall Don't sensational news pay
best?
Coirespondent We are not employed to fur
nith sensations, but facts.
At this part of the examination Mr. Broomall
launched into a sweeping denunciation of cor
respondents in general, saving he believed they
manufactured sueti statements lor the purpose
of blackmailing. For his part, he would not
believe auy correspoudent in W'ashmg'on under
oath. He thought that any correspoudent w!io
remained in Wa-blrjgton for evcu two weeks sot
thoroughly corrupted and unworthy of credit.
Mr. .1. Lawrence Getz, Democratic member from
Pennsylvania, disseuted from the sweeping de
nunciation of his colleague, fie could not sit
fctill and Helen to such unjust condemnation of
all newspaper men. For his part, he desired lo
say that he considered tho oath of a correspon
dent at least as good as that of a member
of Congress or any other man, and ne ten war
ranted lu saying as much for another member
of the committee, Mr. Plants, of Ohio- No
doubt there were dishouest correspondents, but
there were honest correspondents also, and he
thought they should not be calumniated,
abused, or placed ou a level with the scrioblers
ot easy virtue. Mr. Broomall reiterated that be
did tot believe in the virtue of any of the cor
respondents of this wicked capital, and said
that, while be did not object to them pitching
into himtclf as fiercely as they might desire, he
did hoi e they would never attempt to praise
him. To obtain their praise, he added, would
give the public good ground to suspect
his own honesty. The witness bad a re
gular verbal "cp it" with Broomall about his
depreciation of newspaper men in general, but
it was to weak and senseless on both sides as to
be unworthy of publication. Late in the after
noon another correspondent was before tbe
committee, or ratber two members ot It, Broom
all and Uulburd. Why the otber members were
not present I not know, certainly at least one of
them was not notified at all. The correspondent
represents a Philadelphia paper, and is tbe one
referred to by Robert J. Walker and Frederick
Stautcn as a blackmailer. The correspondent
to-day had tho testimony of Walker
and Stanton read over to him in the
committee room, and pronounced rach and
every statement relerriiig to hianelf to be com
pletely false. Thus tbi-re is a nice issue between
this correspoudeot and his accusers an issue,
in fact, which amounts to the tallest kind of
false swenring on one side or the other. There
is something curious about the testimony of
Stanton ou this branch of tbe Alaska Investiga
tion. He made tbe same statemeut weeks ago,
but asked the committee not to have It reported
a requekt which, curiously enough, was
granted by the committee. It is woudeitul that
the indignant Broomall aud his colleagues
should be so mrrcitul to one newspaper man
and yet to severe on all the rest.

On motion ot Mr. Morton, ibe resolution to an

Mr Morton made a brief argument la favor of the
resolution, and cited several precedents In tbe

authorized the proposed payment.
Mr. Trumbull had thought that this proposition,
waa dead. Tbe Henate bad already d'eitnoUy declared
that tbe Senators to question snonld be paid only from

sentation in Cong reus
Resides, every Hauator waa obliged to declare, npon

While Ml. Trumbull was speaking the morning hour
expired, which brought up the unfinished biuluess,
tbe constitutional amendment.
The amendment ottered yesterday by Mr;
W llllams wag read as follows:
"Congress shall have power to abolish or
modify any restrictions npon the right to vote
or hold office presented by the constitution or
laws of any Btate."
He addressed the Senate in advocacy ot It.
Oneobjeotlon to the amendment reported by
the Judiciary Committee was tbat it might be
evaded by Btate legislation providing that
colored people should be disfranchised as dis
turbers or enemies of tbe public peace, or udob
some similar pretext, having; on its face no re
ference to race, color, or previous condition of
servitude, although these, or one of these,
might be the real ground of the disfranchise
ment. Another objection was tbat It treated the .
suffrage question too narrowly with reference
only to tbe immediate future, and to bat one
class of citizens, while tbe signs of the times
Indicate that tbat question must be considered
wltb reference to all classes of citizens. Ills
amendment was not opea to these oojootlous.
