i SATURDAY ETEHUO. NOT; 16. M7. THE TCABtFKR 4F ALASKA. News has been reeeived of the formal trans fer and delivery of Russian America to the United States Government.

We are told how the Russian authorities lowered their flag at New Archangel, the capital how the Russian officer in command made a little speech; how the American representative responded in exactly sixteen words, and how the stars and stripes were then run up in token of the fact that Alaska was a part of the great republic. There is no fault to find with this proceeding. Competent real estate agents say that "Alaska is a bargain," and they are probably correct. But is not this formal transfer this spreading the American flag to the breeze in the new territory a trifle premature? It should be remembered that we'have not yetpaid for Alaska. Furthermore, it should be remembered that it is necessary for Congress to make a special appropriation for that purpose be fore we can pay for it.

Will Congress make that appropriation Perhaps so, but there is no certainty about the matter. The Alaska accession is a favorite project of the Administration, and particularly of Mr. Seward. The majority in Congress are not in a very amiable mood toward the said Administration, and it is possible they may refuse to come down with the stamps." At all events, it would be as well not to spread the flag over new territory until we really own it. PBESIDESTIAL.

CALCULATIONS. It may interest a few of the fearful souls to be informed that, even on the basis of the late elections, the Republican party can elect its nominee without any bargain or surrender whatever. Here is a fair estimate of how the electoral vote will stand, allowing the Democrats to carry New York and Pennsylvania, which they cannot do when General Grant's Republican friends have no interest in per mitting it to be done: DEMOCRATIC. 5 Maryland 6 New 3 New York 11 Pennsylvania. 7 California Delaware Kentucky 33 .26 Total REPUBLICAN.

Illinois 16 Indiana 13 Missouri 13 Iowa 8 Kanms 3 Maine 7 Mai'acbusetts ...12 Michigan 8 4 Nvaln. 3 Nebraska New HamDshire Ohio 21 Oregon 8 Rhode Island. 4 Tennessee 10 Vermont, 5 West 5 Wisconsin 8 Total 151 This gives a Republican majority of fifty. three in the electoral college, without count ing the seventy odd votes from the States, which, if counted at all, will be on the Republican side. There is not a doubtful State in the Republican list, except, perhaps, Indiana.

Ureat Republican Victory in Minnesota. The returns of election from Minnesota show that the Republicans have gained nearly three thousand over the last State election. Our majority is 5,600 for the State ticket, and the majority in the Legislature on joint ballot is 28. Besides this, the amendment to the State Constitution for negro suffrage ia adopted. The Republican majority for Governor of Wisconsin is 5213.

Every Western and Northwestern State that voted this fall, has given a Republican majority of the popular vote. Congress, it is to be hoped, will dispose of the financial doctors, and put a quietus to all who even intimate a desire to cobble at the public credit or in the least vitiate public confidence in national securities. The debts of the nation were contracted, a crisis when those who loaned their resources to the Government were told itwould never be able to discharge its obligations. Patriotism and public spirit prompted loyal men to place their for tunes as well as their lives at the disposal of the Government, so that if Congress fails to take proper care of those creditors, it will afford encouragement for its enemies sooner or later to precipitate another war against its life. Contraction, if it be desirable, is to be sought by means of a reduction of the fearful load of internal taxes nnder which we labor, every dollar of which passes into the cost of some article, and aids in maintaining the in flation of values.

Most of the contraction that has occurred already is not due to the extinguishment of greenbacks, but to the cut ting off of over a hundred millions! of dollars. of taxes per annum by Congress. Let the taxes upon productive industry be now re pealed entirely, or largely reduced, and we should soon see the effect in reduction of prices of goods, and the renewal of work by factories: foundries, now idle. These, we think, are the lines to be pursued by con traction, and if they should be adopted by 'Congress, the beneficial results would be felt by the people generally through all the ensu ing year. Seeking Fortunes which are supposed to have been bequeathed by rich relatives in Europe, is the latest phase of the money get ting mania under which the American people have been laboring for some The Qroffs lately held a meeting in Lancaster county, but the sequel to all their subscript tions to fee lawyers has been to show that they are the dupes of designing swindlers.

To day the Zimmermans meet in Reading for the purpose of arranging for securing "large fortune" to which they are the sup posed heirs, and which is now waiting their proofs in Germany. Of course the Zimmer mans, like the Qroffs, will not get their eyes open to their folly until they get their pockets emptied of their money. i Farmers are just now getting on as well as could be expected, getting high prices for their produce, and at the same time the value of pretty much everything they find it neces sary to buy is largely depreciated. Most kinds of dry goods are down almoBt to ante war prices, wniie ine products oi ine sou are one to two hundred per cent, and, in meat canes, higher than they were in 1800. Thus farmers are eettinir two or three prices for wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, hogs, hay, butter, eggs, while, the product of the loom and the anvil is selling fur below the cost of pro duction.

Even with short crops, farmers must accumulate under present circumstances, while other people are generally losing money. Political Proscription. The Freed men's Bureau in Richmond is furnishing sup plies to about two hundred and fifty negroes who have been discharged by their employers for voting the Union ticket. Nearly three hundred more, who were also discharged for the same reason, are as yet able to support themselves upon their past earnings. This little game of proscription is an evil that will speedily work its own cure.

In the mean time it would be well for the bureau officers to ascertain how many of these proscription ists have themselves been beneficiaries of the Government through that institution, and as sess their property to the amount which they 1 a nave received, ior we benefit of those whom they nave proscribed. i by in ard in we CO OPERATION BUM MAI. The New York Sun proclaims it as a pecu liarity of Americans that they are hardly ever satisfied with a popular idea until they have run it to an extreme point, or, as the vernacular puts it more forcibly "run it into the ground.7' In social as well as in "poli cal matters, this tendency is apparent As people, we cannot be satisfied with dropping atyidea alter extracting all that is gooa ana practical from it. An instance ofthis tendency is seen in the extent to which the cooperative idea is now being carried. A project has lately been started for the establishment of "co operative kitchens," and this project is, now a topic of serious discussion severalSiewspapers.

The Chicago Republican, tot example, is a warm friend to (he plan, and describes in this manner how easy, economical and beneficial the plan ot cooperative kitchens really is Now, in an area two hundred feet square this cily, twenty or thirty families may be found, each family supporting a separate cooking establishment, paying for cook, fires, If these twenty were to club together, hire a competent and honest stew and cook, and pay a good salary to each, assessing the expenses thereof and for provisions to each family in 'proportion to the number of mouths to be fed. the economy would be marked, and the comfort increased, especially if we take into account the derangement a change of cooks makes in the domestic life of a family. The probability is that the Republican's twenty families would soon "club together" a manner anything but peaceful if they were to enter into such an arrangement. Fancy a steward trying to please twenty different families with an economic bill of fare, and to satisfy all in respect to the quality, quantity, cooking, Of the edibles. We have faith in the co operative principle for workshops and for the purchase of leading articles of consumption, and believe that the only thing needful to make it successful is honest and competent management.

But, believe that co operation, like any other popular idea, may be "run into the ground," and that the advocates of co operative kitchens have about carried it to that point. The activity of General Grant in reducing the expenses of the War Department, and the many radical forms he has already instituted, are making him strong with the people, in dependent of his fame as the leader of our armies. The General is as much at home in. the Was Department as he would be at the head of a regiment. It cannot have escaped notice that he is the only one possessing power who is in earnest in the work of economizing the public expenses.

Comprehending the situation of the country, like a good patriot heis doing everything in his power to lighten the burthens of the people and remove the clouds which obscure the financial prospect. The difference in the settlement of the accounts of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, and the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company, the former being the lessees of the latter, has been brought to a conclusion. The amount in dispute was, originally, fourteen thousand dollars. Committees of the respective companies have been negotiating the matter for nine months, and their conclusion has at length been accepted as mutually satis, factory 'By the terms of settlement, the Pennsylvania Company becomes, next to the city of Philadelphia, the largest stockholder in the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad. A New Five Per Cent.

U. S. Loan will be recommended by Secretary McCulloch, in the forthcoming Treasury report to Congress. He is encouraged in this course by the ready sale of former loans and by the opinions of prominent bankers with whom he has been in consultation. Senator Sherman it is stated concurs in the opinion of the Secretary, and has prepared a bill to be presented immediately on the meeting of Congress, giving the Secretary the necessary legal authority.

About twenty one millions of the Ten Forties are in the vaults of the Treasury, which will not be put on the market, at least for the present. Profits on the Manufacture of Thread. The Hartford Timet boasts that the Thread Works at Williamtic, owned chiefly by Hart ford are the most extensive in the country, and says that their new mill, four hundred feet long, five stories high, and built of granite, costly as it is was built of the corn pony' a profits of over three hundred per cent. without disturbing their capital. It strikes us that when a company can thus amasslarge snms for investment in real estate and deposit as a sinking fund, they ought to begin to think of giving the consumer a chance and sell at less prices.

The Supreme Court of Missouri have de cided that the late confederate officers and soldiers are liable for the trespasses they committed upon private property during the war. Suit was brought, by a merchant of Linden, in that State, against Mark Bray, an officer under Sterling Price, for breaking open and robbing his store. The lower court decided for the plaintiff, the case went up and the decision was affirmed. Wonder if the Demo cratic party, when it shall come, into power, won't retaliate by holding all Union soldiers responsible for all damage done to private property during the war Merrill, the Republican candidate for Gov ernor of Iowa, has a majority of 27,496.

Kansas is the first State that has had a direct vote of its enfranchised citizens on the subject of woman suffrage. The result there a quietus on the subject Kansas will the last State, without a doubt, which will this question to be voted on, as after a and free expression, participated in on, side of enfranchisement by all shades of political opinion, from the inevitable George Francis Train to Mrs. Susan B. Anthony, the strong minded, it has been overwhelmingly defeated. It is true the enfranchisement of blacks was also defeated af the same election, but of course there is no logical connection of the two Since none of those who voted, against woman suffrage did because they hold that women are of an inferior race, or inferior in intelligence or disqualified to exercise political privileges.

Still was it because men are, in this matter, unwilling to give up their monopoly of the governing power. The objection is deeperand beyond these. It exists in the concurrent opinion civilized mankind generally that such an extension of the suffrage would be a practical unsexing of our mothers and wives and daughters and that woman's true sphere is not at hustings, but in the household and among home circle. There she has duties perform far more sacred and equally as important to the republic. There let her remain and there, we ere sure, she prefers remain.

It is probable that the eloquent clatter of the few female advocates of woman suffrage especially those who are more wedded to this hobby than they are to their husbands, and to whom political agitation is more congenial than suckling babies may continue to be heard for some time yet but it may already be considered as a defunct issue. The difficulties it had to contend with in Kansas will certainly obstruct it everywhere else, and the defeat it has encountered there will again be its fate, should it ever be sub mitted to the test of public opinion in any other State. The ladies themselves, except course those who set themselves up as being strong minded," not only but laugh the proposed reform to scorn and condemn such an extension of the franchise not merely incompatible with babies but with female delicacy. They prefer that the male sex shall continue to hold the reins, and "they will remain content with showing at present, the way to go. All sensible men will, we are quite sure, serenely defer the judgment of the ladies on this subject $t) CCefegraplj.

PROM WASHINGTON. Washington, Nov. 16. EXAMINATION OF THE TREASURY. The Retrenchment Committee is engaged in examining books and records of the loan branch of the Treasury Department.

Senator Edmonds is the only member of the committee present A SHORT CABINET SESSION. I The Cabinet meeting only lasted two hours yesterday, all the members present but Secretary Welles and Postmaster General Randall. f. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.1 The. Secretary of State has referred to the Attorney General a new and interesting question, arising under the emancipation amendment to the Constitution.

It appears that the captain of a British vessel recently brought into the port of Key West, Florida, three black sailors, whereupon the local authorities indicted him under the State laws, which prohibit the importation or emigration of free negroes. The captain appealed to Mr. Food, charge d'affaires for Great' Britain, who immediately addressed a note to Secretary Seward. Pending the action of the Attorney General proceedings against the British captain have been stopped. i It is understood that the President will make new nominations for the important offices of Minister to Austria, Consul General tc Havana, Commissioner of Agriculture, and Naval Officer at New York.

Nominations for these positions are already pending in the Senate, but under the rule, new nominations must be made give that body authority to act. Greeley is the nominee for the mission to Austria. FITZ JOHN PORTER Had a long interview with General Grant yesterday. His efforts, so far, to prevail on the General to aid his restoration to the regular army have failed. DOINGS OF THE YELLOW FEVER.

Advices received at the Treasury Department represent that the custom house at Brownsville, Texas, has been left with very few officials in charge, owing to. the yellow feverr from which several of them have died, while others have left town to avoid its ravages. A collector to fill a vacancy will be appointed at an early day. THE OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. The appearance of Attorney General Stan bery's argument against the legality of the July session and that held between the 21st instant and the first Monday of December, has created a great deal of talk among the members of Congress who have already arrived here.

The views of Mr. Stanbery are endorsed but by few, and those who think as he does are Democrats. The Republican members take the ground that as they are the lawmaking power, they have the constituional right to adjourn to whatever day they please provided there shall be a session, every year. Article second, section 4, of the Constitution is explicit on this subject It says Congress shall assemble at least once in everv vear. and such meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by law appoint a different day." It is held by the Republicans that the words of the Constitution that Congress shall assemble at least once in every year," gives that body the power to hold as many sessions as they please, and that the opinion of Mr.

Stanbery is nothing more than the pettifog ting pleadings of a lawyer who has a bad case, ut must obey the dictates of his master. Congress considered this point when it passed the act providing for the session of the present month. It is also considered that this opinion is nothing more nor less than the commencement of Mr. Johnson's war upon the legislative branch of the Government. The feeling against the President is very bitter, especially on the part of those who have been inclined to be conservative since the late elections.

The whole subject will be discussed in the Republican caucus which will be held on the 19tb or 20th. This caucus will also shape the course of Congress during the coming session. The members are very cautious in regard to impeachment, and it is almost impossible to say what the action of the House will It looks as if the Finance question will be the principal matter to be settled. THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT. Felix McCIoskey, in an interview with the President to day, told the latter that Governor Seymour, of New York, would be the Democratic candidate for the Presidency in case Chase should be the candidate of the Republicans, and should the latter nominate Grant, the Democrats would run General Sherman.

Mr. McCIoskey also told the President that there was no chance for him getting the nomination ot the Democratic convention, all of which seems to be very bad news to him, judging by his countenance during the interview. ARMY ORDERS. Brevet Major General Barry has been assigned by General Grant to the command of the post of Fortress Monroe and of the artillery school of practice which has recently been established there by the Secretary of War. General Barry was identified with the artillery during the war, having organized the ap'oartmery 0f the Army of the Potomac, and of General Sherman's Army qf the West.

Berman Proposes to introduce a new bill for funding the public debt as it matures into six per cent, loan, or American consol, with a tax of one per cent, making it equal to the five per cent, loan, the bonds to run not less than thirty years.

The following additional particulars have been received Ed. 1 New York, Nov. 15. The Porto Rico Bulletin of the 14th inst says: We are assured that the Island of Tortola has disappeared beneath the sea.

Some accounts say was submerged and all the inhabitants perished. The merchants of Porto Rico claim that are to be admitted free of duty. No news has been received from the central of Porto Rico. According to the accounts so far received, the last hurricane which visited that island was more terrible destructive in its effects than the two previous ones. A thousand houses are in ruins, and a thousand buildings are to day damaged.

Louis, Nov. 15. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who, with Susan B. Anthony and Lucy Stone, has been canvassing Kansas during the past summer for woman's suffrage, spoke on that subject to night, in Mercantile Library Hall, to a very large audience.

Her address was very able, and presented the question of woman's rights and female suffrage nearly all its bearings, eliciting frequent and loud applause. A large portion ot the audience were ladies, who sympathized heartily with the speaker, and showed very "positive evidenee of deep and growing interest in this question. The Female Suffrage Association will hold meeting here to morrow, and a grand rally for the advancement of this cause is announced for November 26, at which George Francis 1 rain will speak. The Mississippi Election. New Orleans, Nov.

An ordinance was passed, abolishing the new county of Jones, created by the last Legislature, and restoring the old boundaries of counties, out of which it was formed. A resolution was adopted, by a vote of 53 to 32, to raise a special committee to inquire into the expediency of removing the State capital from Montgomery.

The sharp corner of a common Indian arrow head, or flint, will cut glass effectually. A good wagon jack may be made of boards two or more feet long. Place the board in front of the wheel, one end on the ground, and the other just under one of the spokes, close to the felloe, then take hold of the spoke on the opposite side of the wheel and lift it, at the same time placing the second board under the axle. In this way a loaded wagon may be lifted with ease. Rusty nails may be drawn from wood without difficulty, by giving them a blow hard enough to start the a little.

Mr. Hyatt Frost, of Van Amburgh's menagerie, gives the Cincinnati Commercial the particulars of a terrible fight with Tippoo Sahib, the well known elephant, which occurred at Connersville, Indiana, last Tuesday menagerie had gone into winter quarters that place, and the colossal animal is chained in a small building, where he will be until the show season opens next year.

Tippoo Sahib, by the way, is now the largest elephant in America. He is thirty six years and weighs ten thousand pounds. The battle with Tippoo resulted from a change in his keepers. Frank Nash, his keeper for ten years, was recently supplanted, Charles Johnson, formerly of Barnum's menagerie. The elephant will npt accept a master without a battle, and Mr.

Johnson prepared himself for an exciting encounter. The elephant was in particularly bad humor with all mankind. He would allow nobody in his quarters, striking at every intruder with bis trunk and tusks most viciously. On Tuesday morning last, at ten o'clock, combat opened. The new keeper with nine assistants, had fully equipped himself with chains and cables for tying, and spears pitchforks for subduing Tippoo.

The first thing done was to fasten a brickbat to end of a rope, and throw it over the end the tusk chain, which latter is fastened to 1 3 1 A one leg ana one iusk. Jy means ui tuns rupc, twenty ton cable chain (formerly used to subdue the famous Hannibal) was slip noosed around the tusk. Next, an excavation three feet deep was made under the Bill of the house, and while the elephant's attention was attracted to the other side of the room by a pail water poured into his trough, the cable chain was passed through the excavation and fastened to heavy stakes outside. All this time the infuriated monster struck all around him with terrific ferocity, and tugged at his chain with incredible momentum. The next thing accomplished was the snaring of his hind legs.

This was consummated by the slinging of fresh ropes around those two stately pillars of elephant flesh, bone and muscle, and finally by the stealthy strategy of the keeper and another man, these ropes were fastened to stumps outside. The elephant was now sufficiently pinioned to allow the order, charge pitchforks" to be given. Ten men, armed with these ugly implements of offense, plunged them into the rampaging beast, taking care, of eonrse, to avoid penetrating his eyes or joints. The tenderest spot in an elephant is just behind the forelegs, and that locality was prodded unmercifully. By means ef a hooked spear sunk into his back, Tippoo was brought to his knees but he surged up again with such awful strength that he swept his tormentors off their feet, and made his chains whistle like fiddle strings.

After an hour's fighting he was brought down on his side but for two hours longer he tugged at his chains with frenzied 'obstinacy. He pulled so hard at times that his hind legs were straight out behind him, and three feet off the ground. At the end of the three hours, the giant gave in by "trumpeting," which is the elephant way of crying The moment this peculiar cry was heard the battle ceased. The keeper made Tippoo get up and lie down a number of times, and he was as obedient to the word of command as a gentle pony. The animal was then groomed and rubbed off with whisky.

He allowed all manner of liberties without so much as flapping an ear. He was a subjugated elephant At 'one stage of the fight the dog "Jack" (a companion of the elephant) thought some of the tying business foul play. He flew upon Johnson's back and tried to sink his fangs into his neck, but was pulled off and dragged out of the room." "Jack" evidently sympathized with his big friend. Hew Tork Gambling Bouses. From the N.

Y. Sun. A commendable effort was made last spring, by a society organized specially for the purpose, to suppress the crime of gambling in this city. A vigorous crusade was commenced against gamblers, and for a time there was so me promise of success. Latterly, however, the society has not been heard from, while the gamblers flourish as before, the inference being that the crusade was a failure.

The ambling influence is so strong in this city, aving its folds around the very men whose duty is to inflict punishment for the crime, that it seems almost impossible to reform the evil nnder the present laws. These laws are stringent enough in respect to penalty, but the very tact that the gamblers pay no attention to them is the best evidence of their defeat In the most prominent parts of the city gambling dens are open night and day, without any attempt at concealment'. On Broadway, between Fulton street and Union Square, there are over fifty of these establishments. There are, perhaps, fifty more within a radius of five hundred yards from the City Hall, and a large number are scattered about in various parts of the city." Several gamblers are connected with every one of these There are the proprietors, who pocket the lion's share of the gambling proceeds the accomplices, who win large sums of money in the presence of susceptible greenhorns; the "stool "flyers," and drummers," who go about among the hotels and other public places, and pick up victims for the gambling dens and also the dealers and other employees who do the routine work of these places. I The extent to which this species of crime is carried in New York may be inferred from the fact that the gamblers excel all; other classes in extravagant living.

They wear the best and most fashionableclothes, display the largest and most costly diamonds, smoke the choicest Havana segara, drink the most delectable of imported wines, and eat nothing that is not fully up to the standard of their epicurean tastes. They have no regard for money. Acquiring it, as they do, without effort, they spend it recklessly and never stop to inquire the cost of anything. It is a shame and disgrace to New; York that this class of flagrant crime should be permitted to go on without restraint There is hardly a gambling place in the city that is not well known to the police. It is known that men are daily swindled out of their money in these places, and yet they go on unmolested.

Occasionally a victim, ruined and desperate, blows out his brains as a consequence of his losses, but the business of the gamblers goes on without interruption. he police, how everj are not to blame for this state of things. Their power extends only to making arrests on complaint ot others. 1 hey ought, however, to be clothed with power to arrest the gamblers and break up their dens, whenever such dens are known to exist In this way only can gambling be suppressed in this city, and in view of its pernicious influence wa, hope that the Legislature, in the coming session, will clothe tne ponce witn arapie power to completely root it out This is an ait in which the French ladies excel they are always light, agreeable, gay, witty, and entertaining; without wishing tbat American ladies possessed altogether the qualities of French women, we may desire for them a little more of the French faculties of making themselves agreeable. Too manv of them, when called upon to entertain strangers, sit cold, dull and stupid, unable to start a topic of conversation or answer a question except in monosylables.

Kemember, the artot conversation can do cultivated, and that it is one of the duties of women to cultivate it, in order to give the proper tone to society and enliven the domestic circle, In selecting a subject for conversation choose something that will interest your companion. There ia nothing more ill bred than to talk much of yourself, your own plans and projects, and above all, of matters which tend to exalt your own importance. Listen well that is to say interestedly to whatever is said to you a good listener is as valuable as a good talker, and never interrupt persons when speaking or commence repeating something calculated to distract the attention from what he or she is saying. Avoid subjects in society such as politics or religion, upon which persons are most likely to differ. It is bad taste to assert one' opinion against that of another persons, and the yielding of it through politeness might be misconstrued.

It is as ill bred to use foreign terms In your conversation as it is to whisper to one person when there are others present, i Be careful how you encourage a reputation for saying smart, sharp, or sarcastic things it will make yon both uncharitable and unpopular. If yon venture on a story in company, be sure that it is sharp and to the point. Never talk upon subjects with which you are only slightly acquainted, such as art and artists for instance. is easy to betray a great deal of ignorance without knowing it. Make yourself acquainted with current events, current literature, and the topics of the day, in order to converse understandingly about them.

Three crime town I the him Then the day, to the him all day, Mr. part he him me to in he I 1 I Confession of a Murderess. I Lena Miller, who paid the penalty of her on the scaffold a few days since, in the of Clearfield, has made the following as HER CONFESSION first thought of murdering my husband in summer of 1865. I tried first to poison with tea made of laurel leaves and the filings of a brass buckle. Then, with the quicksilver off the back of a looking glass.

I gave him, in two doses, a bottle of laudanum, which I got from Dr. Potter, for cramp. Then some indigo. Then, one going after the eows, I killed a small, green, grass snake, which I boiled and gave him in coffee. All these things were given either in tea or coffee, according as one or the other was used at meals.

None of them had least eeffct upon him did not even make sick. The time occupied in giving them was about four weeks. I then gave it np, because I did not know of anything which would kill him. But I thought of it every and could not get it out of my mind, trying to think of something to poison him with. At last I remembered that some of the neighbors had got something at the store to poison rats with.

1 he next time I went to at Cranston's store, which was in the latter of June, 1866, 1 asked for "rat poison." The first he gave me, upon mv askine him. said would not kill a man but would make verv sick. I then asked him fnr uimu thing stronger, and he gave me the arsenW and told me how to use it Miller never told to get any "rat poison," and my little girl swore to that because I told her to do so. I took it home, but, in a day or two, Miller went the Horse Shoe, and was gone nntu Satur day, and I had no opportunity to give it to him. He came home on Saturdav at noon (June 80th), and at supper I put a teapsoonful some rice and set it at his plate, tie took two or three knifefuls, and then got up.

from the table and went out on the porch, where commenced to vomit The vomiting continued more or less frequently until bed time, when he told me he felt better. The next morning, I gave him what you could hold on the point of a pen knife, in his coffee. This made nim sick again. Then I gave it to him again at night and so on, in about the same quantity, two or three times a day the number of times depending on whether there were strangers at the house or not until the 10th of July, the day Dr. Liitz cameihrst when the paper ran out I had given him all, On the 11th of July, after dinner, I went to the store to get some vinegar to mix a mustard plaster with for his breast, as the Doctor had told me.

I could not get rid of the thought that I must not give it up, and so bought another paper of the same kind of "rat poison" as I got before. I left the store about 3 o'clock, and got home about four. Miller was much worse. I could hear the "death rattles," and knowing then that he was about to die, I did not give him any more. I went and told some of the neighbors that they must come over, that he was going to die that night He did die the next day.

never opened the last paper of poison which bought, but put it in the cupboard, where it remained three days after the funeral. I then took it and put it in my pocket book, and car ried it two days, when, one morning, going over to Mrs. Pretetts, I found it in my pockety out ot the pocket book, with my tobacco, and fearing that I might poison myself I threw it away, where I said I had done if; but as I was noticing especially those who were with me, and not where I was throwing it, I could not tell exactly the spot. Besides, the ground was covered with laurel, and it had rained in the meantime and as the run (small stream). is there close to the road, it may have lallen in that so that it could not be found.

The powder which was found on the clock. was the one left by Dr. Lite, on the 12th, to be given that night, but as he died before that, he never sot it The powder thev came out in the kitchen to get, and gave him the' night betore he died, was a powder left by Dr. Litz m. a T.

.11 .1 a on nis urst visiu gave mm au me meaicine the Doctor left, just as he told me. My motive for killing him was, because he treated me badly and abused me so. He made me work hard out doors, on the farm. He would sometimes get mad and knock me down, and the marks of abuse could often be seen upon my body. I could not live with him any longer, and could not leave him, be' whom I loved dearlv.

As soon, however, as I saw he was dead, I was alarmed and sorry tnat i had done it could not bear to look at him after he was dead, and, after the fu neral, was restive going all about and afraid to stay the bouse on account ot I know and teel that 1 have committed a great sin, and acknowledge my punishment to be just but 1 look to the mercy ot iod, ana trust tbat be will lorgive me. Government Interference with Business. The Philadelphia Morning Post, nnder the' above Head, says tnat tne continued, almost chronic, dullness of trade is owing in very great measure, to the enormous quantities of ready made clothing, boots and shoes, sad dlery, hardware and other necessaries which the Government is throwine into the market. A few instances of how these sales result will make the matter clear enongh. An overcoat can be bought retail of dealers in Government stores for $3, a blouse for $1 50, a good pair of boots for $3, or an army blanket, largest for $2 50.

Can manufacturers pretend to compete with these prices? And these stores are at present being placed in the market in such enormous quantities that there is, so to speak, no demand for other goods. An overcoat can be bought for less than the cloth is worth in bulk: what chance then for the cloth seller? To this must be added the items of canvas, muslins and other trimmings of the coat, they are all given to the buyer what chance for the manufacturers of these' Koods? The Government is an enormous loser by these transactions, as well as the world of trade. The average of the stores sold do not tetch halt their cost. The loss ot tne ireve nue which comes from private sales (all Gov ernment contracts being tree of duty) is a tremendous item. The subject is, through out, huge and important The remedy is, if it is necessary the Government should get rid of superfluous stores, tor the goods to be placed on the market in small lots, so as not utterly to glut restricted portions ot tne coun try.

We have heard that 120,000 army suits were disposed of at a single sale, recently, in St. Louis. Operations of equal magitude have been 'effected in Philadelphia. One Third street jobbing house, which, de spairing ot selling goods tor men's wear, nas its shelves and counters piled np with coats ana otner manuiacturea articles, wuiuu umu afford to sell cheaper than the raw material could be sold for in legitimate trade. it is quite plain that the Government has a duty toward the citizens in this matter, it is in.

terfering moBt vitally with the rights of the citizens, and its own loss is unnecessary. We call upon those who have the power to have the evil at least partially lessened, by dividing up the present enormous saleB, to the effect that manufacturers, and after them the deal ers, may have the opportunities, without which it is impossible that trade, in any broad sense, should nourish.
