The sensation created over Henry
Ward Beecher at Memphis,- when
4,000 people rushed to hear him lec
ture, is rather disgusting. The peo
ple of that city can never complain
of or censure any demonstrations
over questionable characters else
where. People from Mississippi,
Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee
gathered to hear a bad but gifted
man display his powers. People
who are consumed by prurient curi
osity, or are victims of low tastes,
rasher prefer to patronize men of dan
gerous reputation, it appears. Beech
er is a success, but the South suffers.
It is the impression in Washington
that the Legislative bill now before
Congress will be passed, with its ri
ders, next, and then, after it is ve
toed, to hold a caucus. The caucus
committees are now busy at work ar
ranging a plan of action. : The fol
lowing paragraph from a Washing
ton special to., the Baltimore Sun re
veals the fact that the Stalwarts are
in high favor at the White House:
"A large number of stalwart Republi
cans, including Senators Chandler and Lo-
5an and Representatives Frye, Conger,
oyce and others, were at the White House
to-day. With the exception of the brief
time occupied in Cabinet session the Pres
ident devoted most of the day to these gen
tlemen and the reception of their congrat
ulations and praise over the course which
he has pursued. The entente cordiale be
tween the President and the radical ele
ment of bis party is apparently now fully
restored, and the stalwarts, who have for
more than two years- made a point of de
nouncing him without stiat, publicly and
privately, now have nothing but honeyed
phrases for him." ; -
According to the Richmond State's
account of the Russell-Kilehin affair,
"it was scandalous but very amus
ing.", Judge Russell is represented
as saying: ' ; ; ;. "' "V--; -'.,
"Russell referred .to Kitchin as one en
tilled to be called a gentleman by courtesy
of tbe House, and reaffirmed his former
statement that Kitchin was sent to Congress
by Democratic fraud in throwing out hun
dreds of voles upon the flimsiest pretexts,
some of which he - mentioned. .: He said
Kitchin knew that he was now holding the
seat and drawing the salary another man
was entitled to. He had notified him that

be would denounce these frauds because
they were a shame to the State, and his
colleague was mistaken if he supposed he
could step him by cutting capers before
the country. ; - ' ; :
"Kitchin got the floor.and, walking down
to the area before .the . Sneaker's desk.
launched at once into a furious denuncia
tion of scallawags.and Russell, in particular.
He said Russell belonged to a class whom
the Republicans despise in their hearts- He
had maligned, slandered and damned ; hid
native State, people, his race, &c, and
joined the rag-tag and bobtail of creation.
Hb did not associate with the better; class
of people in his own State, and was not
respected by tnem. -
"Kitchin strutted back and forth in front
of the Republicans, gesticulating wildly
and becoming more excited the longer he
spoke, tie was several times interrupted
by points of order raised by Democrats.
and the Speaker requested him to speak
from bis place in the ; House. He went to
his desk and got out a book, and suddenly
inquired whether Kussell bad not been
courUmartialed and dismissed from the
Confederate- service f The answer came
quickly, and brought down the House.
Russell said : 'How long will you give me
to answer that f .1 was court-martialed and
dismissed from the Confederate service for
whipping a conscript officer, and 1 was
restored by order of Jeff. Davis'.' -"Kitchin's
discomfiture was complete.
He hesitated, started to say something,
abruptly shut his mouth, laid the book
down and began to turn over the leaves
hurriedly. In the meantime almost every
body was laughing at him, and Russell
stood grinning in the opposite aisle. Be
fore Kitchin recovered himself he was cut
off by a point of order, and his reply was
lost to tbe world."
There is a rumor of a challenge
from Kitchin in Washington, but
there ia probably no truth in it. Mar
tin says there will be do fight.

BURGLARY.
Officers Waiting for au Burarlar His
Entrance and Capture Preliminary
Examination or tne frlooaer and
Hie Accomplice Belore the Mayor
Thd Result, &e..'; . :;
On Wednesday night Glasgow ; Hill,
colored, was arrested on the charge of bur
glariously entering the store of Mr. David
R. Cauady, located on the southeast corner
of Eighth and Market streets, and yesterday
morning Irving Washington,-colored, was
arrested on the charge of being accessory
before the fact -The parties were lodged
in the guard house,; and at the usual hour
for the assembling of the City Court yes
terday morning, they underwent a prelimi
nary examination before Mayor Fishblate.
The case of Glasgow Hill was first called,
and W. A. Walker, T. A. Olesby, 8.
Petteway and "W. H. Goodman were dnly
sworn as witnesses, officer Woebse, who
was also a witness, not being present.
Mr. Walker was put on the stand and
testified that he was in the charge of Mr.
Canady's store, and that it was his custom
to sleep in the up-stairs of the building
every night. . He had been missing articles
fiom the store for sometime, entrance to it
having been effected four times to his
knowledge. He had every reason to be
lieve that the thief got in the first time by
the use of a key (false or otherwise) to the
door. To prevett a repetition of this wav
of getting in witness said he had an iron
bar placed across the door, secured by sta
ples. The other entrances were made
through a window, which was also secured
by an iron bar, but the key to the bolt had
been removed some time during the day,
when, it is supposed, the store was full of
customers. T5n Wednesday afternoon Mr.
Walker noticed that the key was missing
from the bolt which secured the bar to the
window, and the idea occurred to him that
now was the time to catch the burglar. He
accordingly got a friend (a Mr. Smith) to go
down the street late Wednesday evening
and see if he could get a policeman. Mr.-
Smith met up with Oapt. Goodman, who,
after bearing Mr. S.'s statement, imme
diately conferred with Chief Brock, by
whose direction Officers H. Woebse and S.
Patteway were taken from separate
beats and placed in the store to watch
for the thief, Messrs. Walker and Oglesby
being with them. Just as the clock was
striking the hour of midnight a noise was
heard at the window, the bolt was with
drawn, the shutter opened, and a person
cautiously entered and advanced quickly
in tbe direction of the place where the
men were concealed. At the proper mo
ment Mr. Walker suddenly struck a match
and flashed the light upon the intruder,
and at the same moment Officers Woebse
and Petteway seized their prisoner. As the
first named officer grabbed Hill with both
hands the latter seized .his club and endea
vored to wrest it from his grasp, but Officer
Weebse managed to retain possession of it
and gave the prisoner a blow over the
head which drew the first blood. He was
then taken to the guard house.
At the same moment that Hill was taken
another party was seen at the window, but
he fled. Hill afterwards confessed to wit
ness and others that his accomplice at the
window was Irving Washington.
Witness stated that among the articles
stolen were four watches. When searched
there was found on the prisoner a key
that was attached to the guard of the first
watch stolen, and also a watch that Hill
confessed he had stolen. He further con
fessed, of his own free will and accord,
that he had broke into Mr. Canady's store
on two separate occasions. He first de
clared that no one was with him, but af
terwards confessed that ho had an accom
plice in the person of Irving Washington.
The watch found on the prisoner's person
was exhibited in Court and identified by
witness as one of those stolen from a drawer
in Mr. Canady's store.
The other witnesses were examined, but
nothing new was elicited.
Hill, in reply to questions from the May
or, said he was seventeen years old, and
resided on Orange, between Sixth and Se
venth streets.
Defendant was ordered to be turned over
to the Sheriff, without the benefit of bail,
to be held for trial at the next term of the
Criminal Court, and the witnesses were
duly recognized for their appearance, in
cluding officer Woebse, who had now come
into Court.
; Irving Washington was ordered to give
bond in the sum of $109 for his appearance
at Court, in default of which he was com
mitted to jail along with his companion
He is also quite young. He was arrested
by Capt. Goodman and Sergeant Davis in
a lot on Market, between Eighth and Ninth
streets.
Subsequent to the above proceedings HiL
was visited at the county jail by Mr. Walker
and officer Woebse, when, in answer to
inquiries propounded, ' he stated that he
bad given or loaned one of the watches to
a colored drayman by the name of McFar
land. The latter was afterwards visited by
Mr. W. and -the - officer,- - and - a chain
which belonged to one of the stolen watches
was seen and recognized by Mr. W.
protruding from McFarland'a pocket., He
delivered up the watch, stating that he had
purchased it from Hill on condition that
everything turned out all right, he not to
pay for it Until., he . was satisfied on this
score. .This chain, Mr,: Walker says, was
stolen the first time the store was entered,
while the watch attached to it was stolen
the third time it was broken into,
i 'Among - thp' articles stolen : altogether
were four watches, .'eight dollars in money,
One razor, one pocket, knife, one bottle of
pickles, one bpjr- of snuff and cigars and
