Wasm_soxoN,Jan.lo.—Hon.Geo.Bancroft
to-day notified the Committee that be ac
cepted the invitation to pronounce the
eulogy on the life and character of President
Lincoln.
The Reconstruction Committee had a pro
tracted session last night. They haVe
reached no conclusion. They are averse to
sending a Committee to the South.
While it is well known that the President
is anxious for the admission of the Tennes
see delegation, it is hardly probable that the
House portion of the Committee will con
sent to their admission.
Senator Wilson's bill reorganizing the
army is not in accordance with Gen. Grant's
views. The order mustering out eighty
general officers, published to-day,' creates
considerable consternation in military
circles.

CITY B
BRDTAL AFFAIR IN THE
WARD.
A Man Attempts to Murder 1115 Wife.
This morning, about three o'clock, cries
of murder were heard to lime from a hotuse
on Pennsylvania avenue, near Coates street,
in the Fifteenth Ward. The second story
room of the house is occupied by Jacob
Weaver, a German, a shoemaker by trade.
Weaver has been in the habit of drinking
freely,and when in an intoxicated condition
always quarrels with his wife. Late last
right he went home drunk,and commenced
abusing his wife. He beat her first with
his fist and then attacked her with a club.
The poor woman was beaten in a horrible
maser. Her head was smashed almost into
a jelly. The disturbahce was heard by the
other inmates of the houee,and they sounded
an alarm. Officers Spear and Osvanfiell
rushed to the spot and arrested Weaver.
The circumstances of the affair were re
ported to Lieut. Loveaire, and he secured
the services of Dr. Steward. The injuries
of Mrs. Weaver were dressed, but her con
dition was so critical that the physician
prohibited her removal to the hospital as
was contemplated.
The woman had been dragged out of bed
previous to the murderous assault upon
her. The walls of the apartment were be
spattered with blood, and on the floor were
two large pools. A club, about two feet in
length, with one end covered with hair,
clotted with blood, was found in the room.
Mrs. Weaver has four children, the
youngest being but two weeks old. The
three eldest were taken to the Northern
Home for Friendless Children, by Lieut.
Loveaire, and the baby was taken charge of
by a lady residing in the neighborhood.
Weaver had a hearing this morning before
Alderman Hutchinson, His hands and shirt
were then covered with blood. He was
committed to await the result of the injuries
inflicted.
REMOVING THE Rungs.—Every citizen
who has passed along Chestnut street above
Sixth, since the late disastrous contiagratiOn
there, has noticed the dangerous masses of
stone left in the corner of building No. 609
when the front wall of No. 607 fell out into
the street during the progress of the fire.
The stones, weighing many tons. hung in a
more ticklish position than the big boulder
hangs in the "flume" in the White Moun
tains, and they threatened momentarily to
fall greatly to the damage of property and
possibly to person. "Why don't they take
those stones down?" was the query that was
propounded every minute of the day, but as
is usually the case, the solution of the ques
tion was a much more difficult matter than
the submitting of the query. The fact is it
was a game of jackstraws on a huge scale,
and the builder who was to handle the over
hanging mass of ruins had to go at it as
gingerly as though a touch would send the
entire mass toppling into the street. The
work was entrusted to Mr. George Plow
man, and he went at it with the skill of an
experienced engineer; He first constructed
a scaffold some seventy-five or eighty fee
in the air, on the ruins of No. 607. so as to
guard against the possibility of the
overhanging mass falling into the street. A
huge derrick was then put in position, and
this morning the work of removing the
stones was performed. There were proba
bly a dozen different blocks, ranging from a
ton each to a few hundred pounds. all of
which had to be secured before any attempt
to move either could be made. Most of them
were lashed to prevent their falling when
the movement took place; but the two
largest were so swung from the derrick that
a purchase could be brought to bear upon
both at the same moment. This critical op
eration was performed at nine o'clock this
morning in view of hundreds of almost
breathless spectators. The mechanical con
trivances of Mr. Plowman worked like
charm; the heavy masses of stone were
lifted gently and easily from their precari
ous resting places and lodged upon the
sidewalk as safely as though they were
bricks instead of heavy masses of stone.
Now that the dangerous portion of the ruins
is out of the way, the work of clearing op
and rebuilding will be commenced with
as little delay as possible, and that portion
of CheStnut street will soon present its
wonted appearance of elegance and business
activity.
FIRE PROOF SAFE BLOWN OPEN.—The
dwelling of Mr. Michael Bonvier, No. 140
North Broad street. was entered some time
during last night. In a small room adjOict
the parlor is a fireproof safe. Upon this the
burglars must have operated for some time.
Four or five holes were :bored in the lock,
and these were filled with gunpowder. The
explosion ,which followed made a, loud
repoit and shook the entire house. The lb&
on the fire proof safe was blown off and the
window in the room was.completely shat
tered. The noise aroused the inmates of the
house, and a servant sprang a rattle from an
upper window. This attracted the attention
of a couple; ofpolicemen, but when they,
reached thehouse the burglars could not be
foimd. ,, No plunder was obtained. t

Summer Clothing and Shirt Sleeves in
Savannah.
[From the Savannah Bepublican,Dec. 29.]
Are we ever to have a cold day in Savan
nah during the winter season again ? Was
not Christmas day last more like the
Fourth of July from the excessive heat?
Questions mixed up with the usual small
talk here of parties meeting each other
daily in the streets. Wood cutters are
complaining bitterly at how dull business
is, for nobody will buy firewood, and for the
poor of this city, especially the poor colored
people, it is, without a doubt, a great bless
mg there is no need for it. How surprised
some of our friends North would be, could
they, by some spiritual medium, be sudden
ly transported here to Savannah to feel the
rays of an almost burning sun, see nothing
but the lightest summer clothing, little or no
hoops, and our charming Southern belles
going to church with their bright faces en
shrouded with so many bright flowers in
their summer hatri and bonnets; and in the
evening, all the gentlemen out on the
piazzas, for the most part in their shirt
sleeves and bare headed, quietly smoking
their cigars and enjoying a delightful
siesta. Probably our Northern friend
might imagine, if he was a spiritualist, that
he was in the land of dreams, or if he did
not happen to belong to the unearthly be
ings, he might perhaps think that the last
time he went to sleep he had slept six
months.
without any covering on her feet except a
pair of stockings. She went through the
mountains, climbing stone fences, difficult
even for a well person to surmount, over
rocks, through bushes and briars, climbing
some time on her hands and feet, to the
summit ofa steep and precipitous hill, from
which, as would appear, she walked off.
striking her head against the limbs of trees
