Montgomery, August 28.?Elias M, Kiels, Judge of the Oity Court of Eafaula, was arrested last night, on the charge of aiding a felon to escape. He was committed, in default of $3,000 bail. To-day, several citizens of Eu faula were arrested, charged with a violation of the Enforcement Act, und will reach Montgomery to night. A case of the same sort was tried before United States Commissioner Dresser, yesterday, and was dismissed?the proof showing that the assault com? plained of was provoked by the prose? cutor, who mistook one of the defend? ant's hogs for bis own aud shot it. New SfoRK, Augustas.?The Beeoher investigating committee have submit? ted their report. They conclude: 1. That Beecher did not commit adultery with Mrs. Tiiton at any time or place whatever. 2. That Beecher has never act with Mrs. Tiiton, uor made uny unchaste or improper remark, proffer or solicitation to her, of uny kind or description whatever. 3. If this were a question of errors of judgment uu the part of Mr. Beeober, it would be easy to criticise, especially in the light of reoent eveuts. In such criticism, even to the extent of regrets and cen? sure, we are sure no muu would join more sincerely than Mr. Beecher him? self. 4. Wo ?ud nothing whatever in the evidence that should impair the perfect confidence of the Plymouth Church or the world in the Cnristian character and integrity of Heury Ward Beecher. Aud now lot the peace of God that paBseth all understanding rest and abide with Plymouth Church and her beloved aud mninent pastor, so much aud so loug ufii ctu.i. Signed by Heury W.

Topeka, Kansas, August 29'.?An extra session of the Legislature has been called, to relieve thu people suf? fering from the grass-hoppers. New York, August 29.?The report of the Investigating Committee was read by Prof, liuymoud. Daring the reading of the report, frequent inter? ruptions were caused by applause which followed certain passages sus? taining Beecher, aud outbursts of laughter were drawn out by any allu? sions to Moultun and his participation in the matter. The concluding por? tion of the report uud summing up of tho committee were received with waving of handkerchiefs, hats, .to., and the applause which greeted its ending was almost deafening. During a churob meeting after the report had been read, Raymond said: "In all that vast evideuoe takeu before the com? mit toe, he claimed that there was uot a siagle line which disproved Henry Ward Beeoher's story." Tho speaker recapitulated some portions of the evi? dence taken before tho committee, und in referring to Mr. Moulton's part iu the affair, he said: "Mr. Francis D. Moultoa has tried to poison the minds of the men against Mr. Beeober." This seemed to raise Monltou, and standing up erect, he glared at the speaker aud exclaimed twice, iu tones which eohoed through the building, "You are a liar, sir." Instantly all was confusion; men and women rose to their feet?the latter mounting on Beut? and joining in the cry with a hearty good-will of "Put him oat!" "Shame, air!" &o. Ac, mingled with loud and prolonged hissing, iu tho midst of which Mr. Hulliday came forward, and making himself heard above the din, partially restored order, "Gentlemen, let him sit (till and hear the truth;" but Monlton still re? mained on his feet, glaring around like a wild beast at bay and saying, *'I dare you to put mo out." Two police officers appeared behind Mr. Moulton, and he resumed his seat. The report was adopted unanimously. The police proteoted Moulton while leaving the building, and they hurried him down an alley-wuy to where a oarriage wus in waiting, into which he was pushed, rather than helped, and with a police officer standing on each stop of the vehicle, was driven rapidly away. The audience then quietly dispersed. The Sun oapti ns an interview with Monlton, after last night's Plymouth Church scenes, "Is Moulton crazy?" wherein Beeober comes to the mutual friend for assistance in a matter of rape, which Beeober confessed having committed. Moulton will hold the documents in this case for tho Court. New York, Angast 29.?Another cable despatch reports D'Contu, editor ^ of the El Cronista, recovering.

Smitb: ft discharged employes from the Alabama and Chattanooga Bail road, made an attack, this morning, on Wm.' B. Carlisle, treasurer, who shot uud killed him in self-defence. Smith had been very abusive for some time, and threatened to tuke Carlisle's life on sight. His ill feeling was caused by being unablo to get money due bim by the railroad company. Columbus, August 28.?The negroes * of Woooohee Valley, Ala., have been holding Beeret meetings for several nights, of late, preparing toattaok the whites. Their plan was revealed yes ? terdny| by an old negress, in time for tho whites tp prepare. When the negroes made an attack they were driven baok?four were killed.

Montgomery, August 29.?Tbo trial of Wells J. 13ray, Mayor of Eufuula, aud six other gentlemen, charged with violation of tbe Enforcement Act, is progressing before United States Com- i missiouor Dresser. Tho charge is pre? ferred by Eli Mikiels, Judge of the City Court of Enfaula, and relates to the wouudiu g of a negro in that city at the election last February.

The deepest mine in Cornwall is Dolooatb, now about 300 fathoms, or 720 yards from the surface. The workmen descend and ascend by means of meu-ongines, and Captain Joyiub Thomas, the manager, an an illustra? tion of the healthy condition of the workings, states that out; man has been working iu tho mine for forty years. During n'l that time ho has lived at Connor Downe, a distance of live milen from tho mine, so that he bus been walking ten ruiUs per day in addition to hi i labor, and a calculation which Captain Thomas baa made shows that this man has, during his forty years' work, walked 120,000 miles, which is equal to a journey five times round the earth, or half the distance to the moon.

"Why Mary Sikes told me two days ago that she is going to be married next Sunday, and I haven't even told you of it yet!"
