WAHiitNorojr , March 10. Accompany
ing tlio president's message to the Jiouso
on the Laskor resolutions , were a num
ber of official lottora and telegrams bo-
twcon Secretary Frelinghuyson nnd Min-
iatur Sargent , and between Sargent and
tlio Gorman imperial secretary , which
were purely of a routine character. Fol
lowing those was a memorandum of the
conversation of March 7 between Score-
tary Frolinghuysoii and Herr Eisondcck-
or , which opens with the formal presen
tation of the dispatch from Prince Bis
marck , seine points of which have already
been published , but never oflicinlly.
It is ns follows :
FuKiimicimumiE , February Oth , 1881.
[ Translation. ] Tlio envoy of the United
States of America has communicated ,
with a note dated the 1st inslanttho text
of a resolution of the American house of
representativesdated the Oth of January ,
in which the houoo expresses
ita rcgrcat r.t the death of Dr. Edward
Liskor. Every appreciation which the
personal qualities of a Gorman receive in
a foreign country cannot but bo pleasing
to our national feelings , especially when
ominating from auch an important bed ;
as tlio American house of representatives.
1 should therefore have gratefully re-
coivcd Sargent's communication , and
should have naked his majesty , the em-
pnror , to empower hno to proaont it tc
the reichstag , if the resolution of tlio 'M
of January did not at the same time con <
tain an opinion on the direction nnd of
fccts of the political actions of llopro
aontaliyo Laakor , which is opposed to mj
convictions. In the resolution it is said
in relation to the deceased that "hii
firm and constant exposition o
free and liberal ideas have materially
torially advanced the social , politica
and economic condition of these people , '
From my knowledge of the courao of th <
political and economic dovolopmpnt the
Gorman people has taken I cannot'rogarc
this opinion as ono in accordance will
the facia I have witnessed. I would not
venture to oppose my judgment to thai
of an illustrious assembly like the hous <
of representatives of the United State ;
if I had not gained during an active par
ticipation in Gorman internal politics o
more than thirty yoara , _ an oxporiouci
which encourages mo to attach also t <
my opinion a certain competency vrithii
thcso limits. I cannot make up my mini
to ask his majesty , the emperor , for th
necessary aulhomatioii to conunuiiicat
the resolution of the house of roprcson
tativos of the United States to the Gei
man reichslag , because I should there
with have to officially endorse myno'l ' an
also to endorse with his majesty , th
emperor , nil opinion which I am uimbl
to recognize as just.
( Siirnod ) VON BISMAUOK. "
After rending and presenting to Seen
tary Frolinijhuyaoii the above letter Mil
istor Von Eisondockor added : "I am fui
thor innlructod to express to you , Mi
Secretary , Prince Bismarck's regrets thr
ho found himself unable to comply wit
the wish formulated by Sargent , an
also to leave with you , if you dcairu i
the engrossed copy of Iho rtrjolutio
which , in my deference to its high origii
I inny add my upvornmont cannot on it
own responsibility fool at liberty t
retain.
The secretary of state said : . "M :
Minister , inresponse to your oiler to n
turn the ongrusjod copy of ( ho rcsoh
tion , lot mo say the president cannot k
supposed to have any wish in rospoi
to what the Gorman government nia
do in regard to the dispositio
of the copy of ( ho resolution of house t
representatives after it has decided * tin
it cannot bo transmitted to'tho body fi
which it was courteously intended. "
The ministoV replied : "Youi1 answo ;
Mr. Secretary , expresses no wiah , nn
consequently relieves my { [ ovornmoi
from thu obligation it 1ms full to rotui
the resolution which was entrusted to
for tr Dismission. "

On Thursday night the family of Mr.
il , T. Vandovoort , of the firm of Morrcll
Vandovoort & Co. , had quite nil exciting
vunt at their residence , near the Prtsby-
orian church in Lovcland. A hdy visitor
nd relative of the family arose in her
Ipep , jumped from her bed-chamber
dndow , and waa found walking down the
incinnati , Washington and Baltimore
.ulroad track. Thu lady is a widow and
ighly connected , and has never had any
imilur experience before , although she
ai reached nearly the ago of 50. She
eela considerably embarrassed at her
rout : , and at her urgent request her name
n withhold. Thu family had several
r'oung people as callera during the cvcn-
ng , nnd considerable Conversation con-
erning thu many recent murdnrs waa in-
lulued in. About 11 o'clock the cullers
oft for homo , and the family retired.
L'ho lady v , ho was the central figure in
ho after excitumunt occupied a chamber
laving n window opening out onto .thu
o ran da.
About midnight some of the family
were awakened by voices of men and the
vailing of a female voico. Mr. Court
Vandovoort , the oldest son , appeared at
ho window , revolver in hand , and saw
.wo men and a woman in the street.
When they caught sight of the weapon
hey retreated , maVitig some remark
ibout ono of the murderers. Nothing
urlhor was heard , and the supposition
icing that the parties wore some belated
nobriatcs , the family again wont to sleep.
M about half an hour the son was again
iwakcnod , and found a young army about
, ho houso. Alarmed at the strange sight ,
10 ran down stairs revolver in hand , and
bund some of the parties trying to force
open Iho dining-room door , while at the
lame time the trent dgor-boli was violont-
y ringing. The son ran from ono door
a another , determined to keep the mur
derous roobers out. Up to this time not
a word had been spoken. Mr . "Vande-
voort , sen. , was awakened by the noise ,
and mouircd what was up. A voice
: rom outside answered that the family
were murdered , and a woman had jumped
from the upper window. Mr. Vandovoort
immediately imagined a foul scheme.
Opening the door ho found a crowd ,
lioaded by Oflicor Martin. Mr. Vande-
voort informed them that his family wore
all alive and well , and used aomo violent
language against Iho intruders , at the
same lime inquiring whore the woman
was. Ho was escorted to the residence
of Col. Nash , and there found his guest ,
who was Buppotc'd to ba found asleep ,
and the f.nfuly using caution to prevent
her rest being broken by the noise. Ex
planations were in order , and were givei
ii9 follows : The crew of an eastern-bonne
freight on thu Cincinnati , Washingtor
and Baltimore railroad were taking nntoi
and receiving orders when Ibey saw i
while object coming down the tracl
toward Ilium. As it drew nearer Ihe ;
discovered n woman in her night-dros
nnd btirefooled waiving ever Iho frozze :

They asked her wluit was Iho matter
She said , Iho Vandovoort family were al
murdered , and aho had escaped by jump
ing from the window. When aske
where the house was , she led them towan
the Vandovoort residence , making atmtig
and pitiful noises all thu time. Aa the
neared the house they saw young Vando
voort .it the window , and mistook hii
for ono of the murderers. Alarmed , the ;
iled , and after tukinir the lady to Coi
Nash's h'ouso they raised a crowd , inclucl
ing Officer Martin , and proceeded agaii
to thu house , determined to captur
thu murdorora , with the icsults ahead ;

The lady has no recollection of anytliin ;
that occurred until Mr. Vandovoort spoki
to her at Col. Nush's. Up to that timi
dho had persisted that the family were al
murdered. . Whcii awakened she a an
