By our dispatche^esterday we learn that he is not yet dead but speechless from paralysis, at his residence at Pleasaut Plains, Sangamon cotifety, Illinois, near Springfield.

Therefore, it will be seen that our obituary notice was a little premature. However, we trust it may be premature by many years, though we can hope for but a few days more or life for this

One man crawltd under her bed, when she jumped out, seized a bay rum bottle, knocked the other villain down, dragged him to the. window and vigorously helped him out. Then she took a tin trumpet, and pointing it at the chap under the bed, bade him depart or have his brains blown out. The intruder fled before the deadly weapon, but dropped a pair of false side-whiskers, and was immediately recognized by the

creature as a former lover. Next

day the amazon, instead of being sick a-bed with excitement, said nothing, but bought a horse-whip, walked out, met her man, and cowhided him, as he vainly tried to escape, until at her command he was glad to come down on his knees and beg pardon for the unceremonious intrusion of the previous night, and then the tender maiden strode home contented.

This fact may not be known to many of the readers of the Evening GAZETTE, but it is a fact, nevertheless. Mr. Beecher then and there gave promise of his great futures* which has since and is now being fully realized. Independence in the expression of his sentiments, which were always independent, characterized him then as it does now, though he was not so widely known.

THE Mattoon Journal of this week says that "the Kellogg concert, with which our people are to be favored on Wednesday evening of next week, will, beyond a doubt,, be a rare entertainment and one in which thejbest classes of our citicitizens can take pleasure. Some of our best citizens have taken hold of the work of making its presentation a, success, in such a manner as to leave nothing more to be desired. The charming Miss Kellogg :abd

OUR LOCAL TAENT ABROAD.—Danville is to be concertized by Miss. Kellogg, Mrs. Carrington and others, under the management of Prof. Kiibourne, to-mor-row evening. This by request, growing out of the great success of the one given there recently. These charming musicians are entertaining the good people of all our surrounding little cities with their rich and rare melodies. Mattoon, aswill be seen by reference to a notice /rom the Journal of that' city, is to be thus favored next Wednesday evening, several of the "Hay-makers" assisting, among the rest Prof. P. S.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—The book store and statiouery establishment of B. G. Cox, on Main street, is being wonderfully improved, receiving a new floor and reconstructed windows and doors, paint being lavishly brought into requisition to beautify and adorn its new wood work.

The Martindale Fund.

Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Some time ago an article appeared in your paper to the effect that General Hanna aud myself had, during the session of the Legislature, gotten Judge

stable, to enable us to obtain carriages for the purpose of taking some friends of ours around the city that we had failed and refused to pay the heavy bill, and Judge Martindale had been compelled to pay it, the amount being about $15.

I did not see the article, nor hear of it, for some time after its publication, and therefore did not explain, and would not at this time, but for the fact that some aapers are still alluding to it, by connecting my name with what they term "The Martindale Fund."

The plain facts are these: The day the Republican members of the Honse resigned a delegation of members of the Ohio Senate and House came to visit our Legislature. Everything was in confusion, but we attempted to entertain them as well as we could. A committee, composed of Senators and members of the House, was appointed to provide for their entertainment. My impression now is that Judge Martindale was one, but am not certain as to this.

I provided for them at the Bates and had the bill charged to me. 16 was concluded to show them the city and State institutions, and for this purpose carriages were necessary. The Attorney General was present when I spoke with Judge Martindale about the carriages, but had nothing to do with the matter. I asked the Judge about the carriages, and he said he Would order them, and did so.

After the Ohio visitors had left, some ten or fifteen members agreed with me that we would settle all bills. We paid the Bates House and other bills, and'I went to Martindale and said to him I wanted to know what stable furnished, the carriages, so I could pay the bill. I recollect his answerwell. Hesaid, "Oh, no we

been gettiugcarriages there

for the use of the cotiainittee on benevolent institutions, and this little bill will go in with that and be paid for by the Senate." I considered the visitors as guests of the Legislature, and thought all was right.

During my absence in Europe, a bill was sent me at Terre Haute for the livery, but it was mislaid, and I never saw or heard about it till I heard of your article in December.

The next day or two after I heard of this, I met Judge Martindale and called his attention to the matter, and to the fact that I offered to pay it, and that he said it would be paid by the Senate. He then said that the Senate ought to have paid it,%)t adjourned without doing so. That he had mentioned it as a joke, and it had got into the papers. I told him I felt sore over it, and that I would have paid the bill at any time. He said I Was under no more obligations to pay it than he or a dozen other gentlemen.

This is my contribution to the MartindaleFund. WILLIAM MACK.

IT ife difficult to conceive of a more purely wanton and develish piece of villainy than was lately attempted in an English theater. During the representation of a pantomime, nearly twenty of the performers, young women and children, had to be hoisted to a considerable height above the stage. They were distributed into five groups, and -as one of these was being raised, the rope used for that purpose, broke. It was then discovered that four out of the five strands in it had been cut, 'and1 upon examination at the close of the scene, the other four ropes were found to have been similarly treated. Fortunately, they had been cut too little as the first too much, and so by the merest chance this heartless piece of wickedness was frustrated. Had it succeeded, hardly any of its intended victims could have escaped either instant death, or very painful injury, since the ww foftjr ftet.

CONGRESSIONAL.

At the expiration of the morning hour the Senate resumed the cousideration of the resolution to investigate the alleged sale of arms to French agents.

Mr. Sumner addressed the Senate. He said: Besides the unaccustomed interest which this debate has excited, I .can not fail to note that it has waudered far from any original purpose of mine, and into fields which I have no desire to enter. I shall try to bring it back to the real issue, which I hope to present without passion or prejudice and here, sir, I declare what i3 the only rule of my life, that in what I say to-day there is not a simple word which is not prompted by a love of truth and a desire for justice. But I venture to ask you to remember that there is something on this planet beside the Senate or auy Senator, something beside any high officials, something higher than any political party. I mean the good name of the American people and the purity of- the Government, which must be saved from scandal. In this spirit and With

that

something should£be done to

arrest the suspicion thrown on our officials. His resolution had been met by various objections. He had been chprged with introducing ^politics, and aimsion

ig'.m

Mr. Logan interrupted and asked that the ladies be permitted to occupy the cloak room.

Mr. Hamlin objected, saying two field days in one session were euough. [Murmurs of disapprobation.]

Mr. Sumner continued—He was earnest for reform in the civil service, and should always vote for every inquiry having that object in view. He had never heard of this matter until weeks after the meeting of Congress and ihen from a distinguished native born citizen, who had not been mentioned in the debate. He did not believe the introduction of the resolution would prejudice the German Emperoron the San Juan question, as the whole matter ivas known in Berlin long before the introduction of the resolution in the Senate.

He then referred to the Alabama claims, and said if our demands against England could not be prosecuted except at the expense of the purity of our own Government they were not worth the terrible price. He theaj turned to the pending resolution, and said that it presented the general question whether there 4s not sufficient reason for inquiry into the sale of arms'during the French and German war. This naturally divided itself into two questions.

The first relating to international duty, and the second relating to malfeasance on the part of our own officials, and involving what might be.called the money question. Mr. Sumner discussed both of these at length, and said an investigation could not be refused without setting at defiance the rules of decency aud common sense.

The question was then put on Mr. Trumoull's motion to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Conkling's amendment, directing the committee to inquire whether auy American Senator or citizen had held unauthorized communication with any foreign government or its agent was adopted, aud the motion was lost—yeas, 19 nays, 28.

The Republicans who voted to reconsider were Messrs. Ferry, Logan, Sprague, Trumbull and West Messrs. Sumner aud Schurz did not vote at all.

Mr. Harlau replied briefly to Mr. Sumner. He said all the so-called evidence introduced to. justify the investigation was of French origin. He regretted to see Senator Sumner make a convenience of the Senate in the interest of an ageut of a foreign power. He then discussed at length the history of the general order business of New York. I FMr. Schurz offered an amendment to the pending resolution, directing the Committee to inquire also whether breech loading muskets, or other muskets capable of being transformed into breech loaders, have been sold by the War Department in such large numbers as seriously to affect the defensive, -capacity 'of the country in case of war.

Mr. Carpenter obtained the floor but yielded to a motion to adjourn,'and without further action the Senate adjourned.
