Mil. HF.WITT'S ET.OQ.UENT TtF.n.Y TOKASSOX. A SlblA PbAM'Kli KEKUTKD FOKEVEU. In the night session of Congress immedi ately preceding the day of adjournment, Mr. Hewitt, a member of the House from New York, replied to Mr. Kassou's attack on Governor Tilden. He spoke of Mr, Kassou's speech ns a painful surprise and a melancholy experience. He could hardly have believed that that gentleman, with his intellectual endowments, could have so far abdicled his own self-respect as to have indulged in the partisan and malicious statement which he bad made, ile (Mr. Hewitt) approached the subject as he would take hold of a slimy snake with a desire to get rid of it. The first charge was that Governor Til deu had been a secessionist. It was possi ble that Governor Tilden might before tbe lawless strife have entertained views In common with Jefferson. Madison, Jackson and other great men who had given con struction to tb8 constitution and govern ment of the country. At the outbreak of the rebellion he (Hewitt) was in daily and almost hourly communion with Gov ernor Tilden, and he knew that no more loyal or patriotic heart was then beating in the United States. When the first call j fur tioops came Tammany Hall, which had I not then fallen into the hands of the ring, I raised a regiment. The Grand Sachem of Tammany Hall (W. D. Kennedy) was colonel of that regiment, and it was of- ! rice red mostly by membeisof the Tammany society. On account of his own (Hewitt's healili he had been tinable to go, but he had sent his nephew as one of the officers of that regiment. Mr. Lapham, of New York After tbe fall of Fort Sumter did not Mr. Tilden refuse to sign the call fur the great Cooper Institute meeting and refuse to attend the meeting. . Mr. Hewitt It is not true that lie re- ' fused to sign it, and be did atlend tho meeting. (Applause on the Democratic side.) Mr. Samuel Sloan, then a member of the Union Safety commitlee of New York, applied to Mr. Tilden, at a time when he was engaged in Ihe trial of a case, to affix his name to the call, and bis reply was, "I am very busy just uow. Send me the resolutions after the trial of this case, and if they are entirely proper I will sign the call.'' The call was never seut to him, ( but when the meeting took place he at- j tended it, and the resolutions received his absolute and unqualified approval. I say j now that Tammany Hall raised aregraaent for the war, and that Governor Tildeu was a large contributor to that fund. Mr. Conger How much? Mr. Hewitt I am not going to state dol lars and cents. Patriot ism is above dollars and cents in some quarters. Mr. Conger It is denied in the public press that Mr Tilden cer contributed one cent fur any such purpose. (Derisive laughter on the Democratic side.) Will the eentlemaii state when, and where, and to what amount ho ever contributed to the j laisiiik' of a reciment? Mr. Hewitt I state when in stating that the Tammany regiment was laised, and I state where when I say the city of New Yoik. I do t state the tmount, because Democrats tlo not go carrying tbe hat around. (Laughter.) Mr. Daw, of New York I supposed we had settled all our difficulties, and that this was a sort of a Jove feast. Mr. lUndall, of Pennsylvania The love feast is to be on the 4th of Ma rah next. Mr. Hewitt Subsequently to that pe riod no man in New Yotk was more fre quently called into counsel there and in Washington than Mr. Tildeu. I know that he was twice called for by President Lin coln, and came to Washington and held cheeifnl consultation with him, resulting in the early and rapid filling of the quota from the state of New York, and I know that during the whole of that trying time there never was a doubt as to the loyalty and patriot ism of Samuel J. Tilden. As to the resolution of the Chicago con vention quoted by Mr. Kasson against Mr. Tilden. declaring tbe war a failure, he (Mr. ir..... .iw.nld have known that within IVftiwii - . . . ....i.i;n rtocitive statement .

Mr. Hewitt I nose were ih winu scribed in the Chicago couveutiou, Gover- nor Tilden declared that tbe adjustment of the controversy between the North and tbe South on any other basis than the restora tion of the Union was impossible ; tbat the moment any party went out of the Union the question nttiKt be settled by war, and that the war must be prosecuted nutil the question was settled. These declarations of bis were published in the New York and Chicago papers at the time of the convert tion, and that is my answer to tbe state ment or ina gentleman from Iowa that Governor Tilden never made any declara- a. J ? non in iavor oi tue prosecution of the war, and that be was a disunior.ist. In regard to the insinuations connecting Governor Tilden's name with that of Wtrii M. 1 weed, be ( Mr. Hewitt) said tbat Gov ernor I ilden had, for more than three years '' a bound on the scent, followed the members or the ring patiently, secretly, delightedly. He knew Mr. Tilden's untir ing efforts day and night; he knew bow he tracked these people to their dens of in- iquity, and finally dragged them forth to pu one execration. (ADnlause.) Mr. Davy asked whether, subsequently to the exposure of Tweed, Mr. Tilden had not met 1 weed at the Rochester conven tion and bad not raised bis voice against a weea caning a seat. Mr. Cox (to whom Mr. Hewitt yielded m- an iiimwer; repuea mat mere was no necessity for Tilden's doing so, as Tweed was uot in the convention. Mr. Hewitt The bare, naked fact is this, there was war war to the knife between Governor Tilden and Tweed, and it ended in the defeat and exile of Tweed. (Loud applause on the Democratic side.) That is all there is about it. I call the House to witness that I have answered and am will ing to answer every question bearing on the merits of this case. No one will inti mate that there was the slightest intimacy. j personal or political, at any time, between I Kamucl J. Tildeu and William M. Tweed. There never was. There was that associa tion which comes from the enforced ap pointment of men on committees from their living in tho same community and from belonging to the same party. But the one man stood in the community above and boyonri suspicion, and the other was al ways an object of hatred, and, finally, of detestation. I defy the gentlemen to lay their hands upon a dishonest dollar in the posses? ion of Samuel J. Tilden.

(Great applause on the Democratic side.) Mr. Hewitt publishes a an appendix to his speech the following despatch : New Lebanon, N. V., Aug. 15. To tlif, Hon. A. H. Heieitt, Uoue of Repre sentative, Washington : Your telegram received and shown to me. Although Mr. Tildeu was for the ten years previous to the war and during the war in private life, his position in respect to the war was never open to the slighe.st doubt. He had been early educated to condemn the doctrines of nullification and secession. He had foreseen the danger of civil war when many derided it, and did all he could to avoid it ; but when it ar rived he look an open and decided stand in suppoi-tof the government, enforcing its jurisdiction, and averting dismemberment of the country. He attended the meeting of the 20th of April, 1861, and again on the 22d of April ihe meeting of the mem bers of the New York bar. He soon after addressed a regiment setting out for the front. He attended the presentation of colors to the 79th Highlanders, and after waid afforded the regiment special aid and service, To say nothing of contributions of money elsewhere. If is attitude throughout the war was that of a man who, disapprov ing of the acatteraHon military manage ment and the inflation financial policy adopted by the administration because they tended to prolong the war and in crease its sacrifices, nevertheless sustained tbe arm of the government. Every utter anco of bis during the whole war was in accord with his position. Every state ment to the contrary aliout any single act or expression is totally false. Some of his speeches I heard myself, particularly a ereat speech Which he made before the New York delegation at the Chicago Dam ocratio convention of 1864. I was the bear er of a message from him to Gen. McClel lan advising him to discard the objection able words in the platform, which were also discarded in the subsequent platform of the New York Democratic convention, I have possession of the original manu script of a declaration which he prepared in October, 18G2, to be used to define the position of the New York Democracy the position which he thought it ought to take and which it did take. I select this from among expressions for its brevity. It is as follows : "And now if my voice could reach tbe Southern people through the journals of our metropolis, I would say to them that in no event can the triumph of the conser vative sentiment of New York in the elec tion mean consent to disunion either now or hereafter. Its true import is restora tion, North and Sou lb. of that constitu tion which had secured every right, and under whose shelter all bad been happy, and prosperous until you madly fled from its protection. It was your act which be- rmi tlii eabiroitous civil war . . . . . it was your act which disabled us as we are now dis- abled from shaping the policy or limiting me oojecia ni mu wi. - maintained your rights will we maintain the right of tbe government.

We intend to rear once moie upon the old and firm foundations its shat tered columns, and to carry them higher toward the eternal skies.

Within the Union we will give you tbe constitution you profess to revere, renewed with fresh guarantees of equal rights and equal safety. We will give yon everything" that local self government demands; every thing tbat a common ancestry ot glory, everything that national fraternity or Christian fellowship requires ; but to dis solve the federal bond between these Btates, to dismember onr country, whoever else consents, we will not. No, never, never, never." Manton Marble. LiGIITliINQ rjtlNTS. Very curious results are sometimes pro duced by lightning, calculated to excite wonderment in the minds of persons un versed in the phenomena of electricity, and to set scientific men thinking and expert, meuting on the probable causes cf tbeso appearances. Of tbe destruction of ehips and houses by lightning wB do not speak, nor of tbe more lameutable Cases in which persons have been struck dead by such visitations. The phenomena more Imme diately in view are lightning figurrn or pictures, impressions burnt into tbe surface of the object 6truck, and presenting resem blance concerning which fancy has been allowed to draw fanciful conclusions. Marks, remarkably tree like, have some times been found on the bodies of persons struck by lightning. MM. Bossut andLe roy, in 1786, reported to the Academic den Sciences a case of this kind, and accounted for it by supposing that the lightning in its passage through the body bad forced the blood into tbe vessels of the skin, and thus all the ramifications of these vessels were visible ou the surface. Arago adopt ed a similar explanation, in regard to a case which occurred in France much more recently ; two- persons standing near a poplar tree were struck by ligbtninsr and on the breast of each were found marks closely resembling the branch lets of the ponlar. More strictly belonging to those instances in which the lightning marks resemble fa miliar objects is one that occurred in a Somersetshire village in 1812. One version of the story is, that "six sheep reposing in a meanuw surrounded by woods were killed by lightning ; and when the skins were taken from the animals, a fac simile of a portion of the surrounding scenery was visible on the inner surface of each skin." The other version is that, about turnip sowing time, a farmer and his men were engaged in the fields when a violent storm of thunder and lightning came on, and three out of four valuable rams, which had taken shelter tinner a tree, were killed ; when the skins reached the teilmonger, on the inside of each was found depicted a very accurate representation of the tree under which the animals had sought ref uge. Although different in details, these two accounts probably relate to the same occurrence ; the latter is perhaps more credible than the former, seeing tbat we can more readily believe an impression of a tree tnan of a landscape be:ug thus pro dnced. In 1S4C, at Orahora's Town, in Sotitli frica, a flash of lightning struck the gable of a powder mill. The building contained a store of twelve tons of gun-powder, in copper-bound barrels packed in a cluster about four feet from the wall. The light ning ran along the wall of the gable, be neath the floor, and out tinder the door- si'I. The mark of the flash, zig-zag in shape, and directed at an angle of about eighty degrees, was plainly visible on the whitewashed wall of the magazine, resem bling in color the stain produced by tbe ex plosion of a very light train of powder ; and a small bole or crack was made in the arch where it entered. Tbere was no tree- mark or mystical mark here ; tbe mark pro duced was evideutly tbe zig-zag path of the lightning itself. Siguor Orioli brought before a scientific congress at Naples four narratives relating to lightning-prints. In the first, lightning struck the foremast of the brigantine "Santo Buon Servo" in the Bay of Arriero a sailor sitting under the mast was struck dead, and on h is back was found an im pression of a horseshoe, similar toone fixed at the masthead. In the second, a sailor, in a somewhat similar position, was struck by a lightning flash ou the left breast with an impression of the number 44 ; an almost exact representation of a number 44 that was at the extremity of one of the masts. In the third, a young man was found struck by lightning ; he had on a girdle with some gold coins in it ; and images of these were imprinted on his skin iii the or der they occupied in the girdle. In the fourth, an Italian lady of Lugano was sit ting near a window during a thunderstorm, and was struck, though in a way scarcely conscious to herself at the time ; a flower which happened to be in the path of the lightning was perfectly reproduced or printed on her leg, where it remained per manently. Among the thunderstorms described as having occurred in the West Indies, one, in 1832, was rendered remarkable by this phenomenon : a poplar tree in a coffee plantation was struck by lightning, and on one of the large dry leaves was found im printed an exact representation of some pine trees tbat stood three or four hundred yards distant. Whether this was really an exact representation, or the product of an excited imagination not well controlled by accurate judgment, is just tbe point which we eannot determine ; the markings on the leaf may have been only the natural zig zagging of tbe lightning. In 1853 a little girl was standing at a windo-v, near which stood a young maple tree ; a flash of lightning struck either the girl or the tree, or both, and an image of tbe tree was found imprinted on ner oooy. In another Instauce, a boy climbed a tree to steal a bird's nest ; a lightning flash struck the tree ; the boy fell to the ground. and 'on his breast the image or a tree, with the bird and nest on one of iis branches, anneai ed verv conspicuously." Scientific journals, as well as those of more popular character, contain a rich I store of incidents more or less similar to i the above. Dr. Franklin stated in 1786, that, about twenty years previously, a man I who was standing opposite a tree that had 'just been struck by lightning (or as be called it, by a thunderbolt), found on his breast an exact representation of that tree. M. Poey, who has treated this subject somewhat fully In the French scientific journals, mentions twenty-four cases of , lightning impressions on the bodies of men . and anitaalai Of those, eight were im- uira, sua one oi a cow ; Tour or crosses ; three of circles or of impressions of coins carried about the person ; two of hore shoes ; one of a nail ; one of a metal comb; one of a number or numeral ; one of the woids of a sentence ; and one of the back of ah arm-chair. Tbere is no mention, so far as we are aware, of any imprinting on the bodies of the two hapless lovers mentioned by Gay but a very little exercise of the imagination, aided by an element of credulity, would have sufficed to produce imaginary orosses, hearts, or trees. Those who know the story will remember that Pope md Gay were visiting at Stanton HarCoiirt In 1713; that Gay described the incident in one of his letters ; aud that Pope memoriali-d it in verse. Two rustic lovers, ohn Hewit and Sarah Drew, about ft week before the day fixed for their wedding, were at work with other harvesters in a Held. A storm of tbnndor and lightning came on in the afternoon, and the laborers hastened for shelter to the trees and hedges. Sarah, frightened and dismayed, fell in a swoon oa a heap of barley, and John newit raked 1 "l at . up some moie barley, to shield her from the cruel blast ; while thus engs&eu, art intensely vivid, flash appeared ; the barley was seen to smoke, and there iay the two lovers, he with one arm around her neck, and the other arm over her, as if to screen her from the lightning. Both were dead ; her left eye was injured, and a black spot produced on her breast ; Pope's epitaph on the hapless couple is engraved on a stone in tbe parish church of St a u ton Haicourt. In all probability, no one explanation will apply to these several cases. The descriptions require to be examined closely; and they meet with the most consistent so lution by separating them into groups. There is in tho first place A love of the marvelous which induces some persous to stretch the truth in order to make up a striking story. Not habitually untruthful, they nevertheless yield to the temptation of so rounding off a narrative as to cause hearers and by-standeis to make exclama tions of the "Good gracious 1" kind. Other persons, repeating what Jack told Dick tbat Sam had beard Bob say to Bill, do not reflect how much a story gathers as it travels f-oin mouth to mouth, until tbe final Version bears but slight resem blance to the original. In another group of instances a physiological agency of much importance bas to be taken into account. Persons of nervous and excitable tempera ment, when under tbe influence of strong mental agitation, have been known to re ceive marks on some part of the body or limbs corresponding in shape to tbe object which they were thinking of at the time ; this is known to have occurred in other dorrtaius of human felling ; and there is nothing impossible in the occurrence of a similar phenomenon when tbe mind arid the body are alike exposed to tbe action of a lightning stroke. This was probably tbe i case in regard to a French peasant girl j one of the instances noticed by Poey. While tending a cow in a field a storm came on ; she took refuge under a tree ; the cow fell dead from a stroke of light ning ; the girl loosened her dress that she might breath more freely, when nearly choked with agitation; and then she saw a picture of the cow imprinted on her breast. We give this story the credit of being truthfully told, and assign as the probable cause or the phenomenon a co ojteration bet ween lightning stroke and a vivid mental or nervous activity. Where metal is concerned, the produc tion of images f fac-similes, may result moie immediately from this rush of elec tricity which constitutes the passage of lightning. Wherever metal lies in the i path, the flash takes that route in prefer ence to one through wood, brick, oi stone ; but if tbe metal be discontinuous or inter rupted, strange markings are often pro- I dUCed on neighboring substances similar in shape ts the metal just traversed. This may have been the case in the accident which befell a young man in Cuba in 1828 ; after a lightning flash, be fouud on his neck an imprint of a horseshoe, similar to one nailed up on the window of a house Hear him. If the ornaments were of brass or some other metul, we might perhaps place iu the same category the narrative (one of those g;ven by ley) of a lady, mt her chateau of Benatouniere in La Vendee ; she was sealed in her salon, in No vent Iter, 1830, when a storm came on ; lightning appeared, and ou the back of her dress was imprinted a fac-simile of eorne orna ments on the back of a chair against which she was leaning. There ia every reason to believe, lastly, that many of the markings are nothing more than results of the forked zig-xag course of the lightning itself. Mr. Toni linson, in his interesting Volume. "The Thunderstorm," has gone somewhat fully into this subject. He had had occasion to observe the manner in which the disrepn tive discharge of electricity, from an elec trical machine, marks out its path over a badly conducting surface, such as glass, and "was struck by the tree-like impression produced, He gives a wood cut represen tation of a surface struck by the flash or spark of a small Leyden jar ; and it is im possible lo avoid seeing how strikingly the markings assume the form of a tree. The probability is pointed out, that, in cases where persons struck by lightning have had tree like marks imprinted on their persons they have leen hastily considered to be real images of actual trees close at hand. It may, moreover, be observed that some persons when struck by lightning, have received blue marks or bruises ; these may put on a ramified appearance, "not only from the irregular mode in which electricity travels about iu search of the line of least resistance, but also from the smaller vesuscls becoming congested, aud consequently visible."

A New York er, whd recently passed a night in one of the New Jersey hotels is the reputed au thorofan inventiou of extreme ingenuity and great possible usefulness. Tbe es sential features of this remarkable inven tion consist tif a series of net-work trap doors ; a system of minute glass tubes con nected with a powerful automatic pump ; an exhausted receiver with long rubber suckcra, "d a cluck-wcu k arrangement to operate the whole. A neat iron frame work, adaptable to any bedstead, connects the various parts and completes the ma chine. Upon retiring to bed the fortunate Proprietor of the apparatus adjusts tbe frame-work, spreads the netting over the bed, applies the rubber suckers to tbe joints aud cracks or the bedstead, sets the trap doors winds the clock-work, and turns ia fur a night of peaceful repe. Hardly has he closed his eyes when the fun begins. The mosquitos after reconnoitering in vain for some easier mode of getting at the sleeper, sail into the open traps at the precise moment that the lied bugs are be ing drawn irresistibly in the rubber pipes by means of the exhausted receiver. As the victims reach the Center of the machine, tbej are rapidly but gently seized, placed in posttioiT, the glass tubes are inserted in their sides and the automatic pump begins to oj-erate, swiftly transfusing the blood of the mosquitos iuto the veins of the bed bugs while by an instantaneous compen sating arrangement that of the bugs is hurled into the arteries of the tnesquitos. They are then permitted to retite by a back door and the operation is complete. Tho mosquitos having acquired the nature and ideas of the bed bug, immediately "be gin to ram their heads off in futile attempt to get into some imperceptible crack, w hi lo there is no more entertaining moral spec tacle in the world than that of a bed bug sitting despondently on the floor and won dering how on earth ho is going to probe a victim without a proboscis; to sing, "I want to be an angel P without any singing; apparatus or, without wings to dodge tho pillow fired iu vengeful wrath. The ablest advocates of other methods are said to have given their allegiance to the new system, and the ituportaut problem is regarded as Virtually solved. A Mother's Word. A mother on the green hills of Vermont was holding by the right hand a eon 16 years old, mad with love of the sea, and as he stood by the garden gate one morning, she said : Edward, they tell me fur t never saw" the ocean the great temptation of a sea man's life is drink. Promise me, my sou, before you quit your mother's hand, that you w ill never drink." "And," said he (for he told me th story), "I gave her the promise, and I went the globe over, Calcutta and the Mediterranean, San Francisco and the Cape of Good Hojte, the North Pole and the South. I saw them all in fotty years, and I never saw a glass filled with sparkling liquor that my mother's form by the gate did uot rise up before me, and to-day I am innocent of liquor." Was not, that the sweet evidence of the power of a single woid? Yel that is not half. "For," 6aid he, "yesterday there came into my counting room, a man of 40 years,' "Do you know me?"' "No." "Well," said he, "I was oncC brought drunk into your presence on shipboard you were a passenger; they kicked me aside: you took me to your berth, and kept me there until I had slept off the iiitoxicatiun ; vuu then asked me if I had a mother. I said I had neer known a word from her lips. You told me of yours at the earden gate, and to day I am master of une of the packets ir. New Yoik, and I come to ask you to come and see nu ?' How far that little candle throws its beams? That mother's words in the green hills of Vermont! O, God be lhaked for the mighty power of a single word. A Bemarkaht-e Phenomenon. Intelll gence has been received of an almost in credible occurrence that transpired in the northern part of Putnam and the southern portion of Dutchess counties, New Yoik, recently. After sunset a large thunder cloud came up, apparently from the northeast, accompanied by an unusual amount of chain lightning. The rain subsequently came down iu torrents and the lightning increased in vividness and dasbed on hun dreds of wild geese which were in the ponds of shallow water that existed in the lcality. Several persons who witnessed the remarkable phenomenon state, that the geese acted very strangely, as though hun ters had discharged a volley among them. The darkness grew imj-enett able, hut the farmers in the vicinity thought no more of the occurrence till Saturday, when they began to find dead geese, and hear of hun dreds being picked up by their neighbois. One man picked up from bis farm all that a horse could haul, for their feathers. The heads of the geese were badly torn, and their bills were split into fragments. Many of them had the feathers on their backs burned to a crisp and their bodies burst oprn. The portion of the country thus affected was neatly a quarter of a mile in breadth aud several miles in extent. A coixRF.n preacher recently addressed his congregation at a revival meeting as follows : ,4Now, my mournin' friens, you comes hear an' you mmitis, and rolls' an babs a mighty struggle wid de debbil night arter night, an' when you's mighty naar loose. 3-011 pits right up an' goes right back into the debbil's arms agin.

When the traiu is within two miles of the depot every American citizen rises crow ds to the door of the car. makes a w ild plunge for the ferryboat and then stands leisurely, with a toothpick between his teeth, to watch the prnoeswou of setibihl people that follows alur.
