H e has instructed pis counsel to proceed at once, at his discretion, to carry the case from the jurisdiction of the com­mittee to a coui|t pf law-. The public are looking anxijously for the explana­tory statement eff '.Mr, Beecher, which is to clear up thei'foul atrAosph'ere, and convince the w;otld (rf Bis innocence, of the grave charges made against him.

It ia evident that unless vigorous measures are adopted settlers on the frontier will have an unpleasant time of ilt.

The country would be glad to see the "Washington authorities display a little more energy iri punishing the ^ndian savages; I t is useless to parley with them, »bw that they have put on their war paint, and rifle volleys, properly adminis­tered, alone can curie the scalp-taking maUhess from which they just now suflfer, .

Mr. ^ . B. PurguMn, of the firm bf Furgurson & Howara(leajfc^erand find­ings dealers, is a member bf a very old and respectable family in this city, which has always stood well in the, community. Mr. Furgurson is a good looking man, of dark complexion^ about forty-five year£ of age, and his wife is a* little ypmjger.

She has al­ways dressed in a very stylish aiid showy manner, arid her appearance on. the street was very pronounced and always attracted attention. For a year or two her relations with Furgurson have been too notorious and public] to eseape universal attention,and shehas openly declared that she would ye* win him from his Wife and| have him for her husband. Mrs. Furgurson Jhas been aware of this statf of affairs, and it has given rise-to agr< ful quarreling, the two sometimes met and.rei .^^ P»J O , -~v~ felly come to blows, MlsliBriggs always defying the wife and telling her that she would yet have hermUsband away from her, and in some instances calling .him from trie house to g o away With her against the pleadings bf his wife and child.' Mr. Furgurson has sought for a divorce, but his w i p w o u l d never submit to, i t ,and he, halving rio actual cause to allege against her, could not accomplish it without her consent, arid this she refused. Both parties have doted upder the advice of lawyers; arid thus the matter has sjtood for some time past, the public being awarfrof inost of its details, and Society greatly scandalized thereat, .
