WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
The President's Proposed Coup
d'Etat-EtTect of the Amnesty
Proclamation, Etc. Etc.
Fi cm the JV. Y. Tribune.
Washington, Sept. 13. For several days
pant, men here who enjoy the reputation of
being confidential advisors of the r'rusldent,
have been giving out that Johnson 1ms said
that he would remain quiet until after tbe full
elections. The following, however, which Is
from the Washington uorrestoudeuue of a
Charleston paper of the 12 Ui lust. Is significant,
for the reason that Us auLhor Is a writer for the
I'resluVut's oigau here, and a warm frluud of
the President lie is au old Democratic poli
tician and (Secessionist, who, when liactiaaan
ruled at ti e White House, was honorud wliit
being called la to consult and advise at the
Cabinet meetings. Here la what he say:
The President Is expected to act upon his new lire
of operations In tbe course nt a week, before lie leaves
lor tbe A lit lei am monument celebration. He Is to
Issue tlie amnesty procltimtitiou, eject Mr. .se.vard
from (be Cabinet, and invite PosimsMier-Ueneral Kan
dull to rtslgn. It is also asserted that another procla
mation, fndowtng up tualot September 3. about civil
supremacy, will be iHsued, applying tbe principles
tberelo esserlfd to some very important subjects.
'J bat proclamation asserts tbe (Executive pow er iu
tbe broadest terms, and next we are to know wu t
tbe President will do with It. Of course, it did not
reqnlreail tbis parade of consiltutlunsl prerogative
for tbe mere purpose of censuring (General Sickles
for alleged hindrance of a process from tbe
United Biates Circuit Court of North Carolina. Tbe
President lias been otteu advised and urged by tbe
peace Democrats (Copperheads) to perform some
grand coup d'etat, by which the people would be at
once awe-struck and delighted, and tbus save him
self from tbe disgrace of causeless Impeachment and
removal, wllhont resistance. It was even suggested
that he would disperse tbe Fortieth Congress last
July, but be was not then up to the mark. There was
no stuff In the whole Cabinet for any energetio move
ment. Besides, tbe President does Hit always act
upon tbe theories which he adopts. He may, how
ever, if properly supported by those around him.
announce lo a proclamation, at an early day,
or before tbe meeting of Congress, that it
Is In his constitutional right and duty to
see that the Constitution, as tbe su
preme law of the land, shall lie preserved
inviolate, and that as tbe acts of Congress are uncon
stitutional they are null and void, and shull not be
further executed. An lsue will thus he made be
tween the President, who stands on the Constitution,
and the rump Congress, which body is "hanging on
tbe verge" of tbe Constitution, and claims, in fuct. to
ect outside ot the Constitution. The President must
of course have as an adviser and advocate a bald,
strong. man, before be can thus set Congress at de
fiance. W r. Beward would oppose his new position,
but Judge Black is quite ready to support It with the
utmost ardor and shinty. The State Department will
be offered lo Judge Black, and hs will accept It with
the utmost confidence In the Justice, and also of
the success of his views. If Judge Black's advice
Is really adopted and ected upon, it may be that tbe
President, In some crisis of the consequent struggle
with Congress, will become Impatient, or hesitate;
and that the Judge will have occasion to repeat tbe
exclamation Imputed to Stafford when he found that
Charles had deserted him. In connection with this It
may be slated that Johnson ineu here assertlbat he
bas resolved upon sending to Congress, on the dav
they assemble, a message, the purport of which will
be bis late proclamation of civil supremacy. Kvery
Government oilicial throughout the couuiry Is being
supplied with a copy of this proclamation, aud John
son Intends making a dual thing ot it by getllug It to
Congress in oilicial form.
A Radical falsehood Expoid-Th Pral
dent's Position ou the Subject of Regis
tration. From the N. Y. World. ;
A more untruthful paragraph has never been sent
from Washington than the one cooled in BOmeof the
Ivew York ppers lo nay irom a noston journal,
which represents tbe President as hiving decided to
open tbe registration lints In tti huum, on ma
ground that the Amnesty Proclamation conveys
the right of suffrage to all who have been par
doned by it. The World despatches, as they
were based on oilicial Information, bave been
correct lo this regard. The President,
st bile maintaining with his Cabinet that
the uroclamation restores to the Individual pardoned
by It all of bis civil and political lights, holds at the
same time that It Is not the province ot the Kxecuttve
to se'.ure the right ol suiiraue losucn as are parioneu,
In the face of the positive Congressional prohibition
con'alned in section 7 of the July Reconstruction act.
Their rerredy is In the courts, when they are refused
registration. tins is toe i-iesiaHiirs position,
sua It UBS Deeu virtually anticipated lu ail
of the trading Southern Journals which have
discussed tbe question, to say nothing ot the South
ern men here who have looked into the matter.
By section 7 i tne act auuaea to, congress gave the
discretion of extending the time for registration to
District Command! rs to October 1, and no louger, and
tbe same set provides that on fourteen days prior to
that time District Commanders may have the boards
o, repisirotlon sit for five davs only to revise the lists
of those leglstered. The act then says: "And such
board sbi.ll aho, during tbe same time, add to such
registry the names ot all persons who at that time
pospets tbe tiuaiilicatinn who have not been regis
tered; and no poison will at any time be entitled
to register or to vote by rer.son of any .Executive
fiardon." It will be seen, then, that Die P esldeut
ius no power, nor does he claim It, to either extend
tbe lin e for registration or to reopen it; an 1 a short
time will show that this Is his position to tnise wh.i
persist, for radical purposes, in misrepresenting It.
The President, however, may merely suggest lo a
few days to the district commanders the propriety
ol holding all the elections in the (South, under the
Becorsi ruction act, on ibe same day; only this au I
nothing more.
Grant, Sickles, and Canby.
A Washington despatch to the Boston Advertiser
says:
It has been learned that the letter of August 24. from
General Grant to General bickles is in his own hand
writing, and of about tbe same leueth as that In the
case of the removal of General Hherldan. He speaks
In strong terms of Mr. Hinckley's soohistrles and

son for a r-ouslderatloa of the proceedings of
?be comrwwartlal which sentenoed hltn to be
"cashiered and forever rendered Incapable of

niacaln a time of unusual excltemenl; that
vldence then Iniicoesslblecan now be produced;
and that he oonsUlers It bis duty lo appeal for
a revision of his case, and therefore request the
ar.noluimenlofanew court-martial.

the dismlBsal of Porter from the army, the
charges aud specifications upon wulott be was
caslilei ed may have been forgotten by many
persons. We therefore append a summary ol
tne nroceedlngs:
The oourt-uiarilal for the trial of General Fits
John Psrter met In Washington November 1,
lotiU It consisted of Generals Huuter, Hltoh
cock, Kufus King, Preutltw, Blcketts, Casey,
(Jul -(if Id. liUloru, nuu inun IB, Wltll JUHOptl ilOlt
as Judge-Advocate General. The cliarges were
niade by Brigadier-General B. Ij. Hoberta,
formerly Inspector-General of Pope's army lu
Virginia. The specifications were to the elleot
that on the iisth or August, 1H82, Porter dis
obeyed a positive and urgent order of General
Pope to bring his corps up to the help of Ho ker
and McDowell at the seuoud battle of Bull Hun;
that on the 2UI h of August he again disobeyed
the order of Geueial Pope; that on tbe same
day he failed to attack the enemy, though posU
lively ordered lo do so; that on the evening of
August 'JSi he again disolieyed an order to march
Bis command lo the field of battle and report
In person to General Pope fur orders, but per
mitted one of bis brigades to march toUeutra
vllle and remain there during the severe battle
of August 30; that he retreated from the enemy
wl't oat any attempt to engage them or to a'd
our troops who were relyina upoti the fl ink;
BUaek he wna ordered to make.
Porter wbs convicted on the evidence of Gene
rals I'ope. McDowell, and Hob Tls, Lleutnnnnt
(Jolonel Thomas Bmlth, Captain Drake Dn Kny,
and others. 1 he unnnlmotis tcititnony of these
officers wns to the effect that Forter could have
brought his troopa Into action, but did not; and
that if he bad done his duty the Itebel army
n net have been beaten, and a part of It de--i
ojed.
The fir ding of the conrt wri, that Porter wan
"guilty on every one of the charges preferred,"
and the sentence, which was approved by Pre
skh nt Mncoln on tbe 21st of January, 1802,
cashiered him from the service.
THE DOUBLE SUICIDE lii EAST LIBERTY, PA.
Two More Victims to the Perpetual
Motion Delusion A Husband and Wife.
Poison Themselves with Arsenic In
vestigation by the Coroner.
Yesterday mornlDg the residents of the plea
sant village of East Liberty were thrown into
a state of uuusual excitement by tne report
that a man named Jacob Woll and his wife
Maedalena hud committed suicide, at the houne
of Mr. MaihlasRahe, of that place, by taking
arsenic Large numbers of persons hastened
to the residence of Mr. Katie, and were hot-tilled
to Barn that the report was true. The
Tacts In tbe case, ro far ns known, are as fol
follows: Mr. and Mrs. Woll (who have been
residents of this city for - thirty years)
resided with their son Leopold, at No.
17 Webster street. Mr. Woll, who was a
tailor by occupation, bas for years been labor
ing under a mental delusion that he oould dis
cover the secret of perpetual motion, and has
been endeavoring to construct a pump which,
when once set in motion, would force water
from a well for an indefinite period. Thestudy
and thought which he applied to the subjeot
disturbed his mind, and his wife also becoming
imbued with the same idea, became deranged,
and a few months since attempted to commit
suicide by Jumping in the Mouongahela river,
but was rescued and sent to Dlxmont. For
some time past, Mr. Woll, who has been drink
iDg excessively, succeeded In having his wife
who had partially recovered her reason re
leased from Dlxmont, and took her to bis son's
residence. Mrs. Woll, not being satisfied with
tbe change, expressed a wish to return to the
Asylum, and on Wednesday morning she and
her husband left home with tbe avowed pur
pose of going to Dlxmont. Nothing further is
known of their movements, uutn about 4
o'clock the same afternoon, when they were
seen at East Liberty, Mr. Woll called at a
drug store, and purchased ten cents worth of
arsenic, saying that he wanted it to poison rats.
They then went to the house of Mr. K the (for
merly manager of the Oakland Passenger Kail
way), and asked permission to slop for the
night. Mrs. Kane was absent at the time, but
opon returning she recognized Mrs. Woll as an
old acquaintance, and cheerfully compiled
with tbe request. Tbe couple rettred early,
and during tbe night , Mr. Woll arose frequently
and went to the pump in the yard for water.
About 6 o'clock yesterday morning the family
were aroused by Mr. Woll crying for water, and
opon a glass being banded him he drank a
small portion of its contents, and fell back In
tbe bed and expired. Dr. P. D. Perchment was
summoned, but before bis arrival it was dis
covered that Mrs. Woll. who was lying In the
back part of the bed, was also dead. The phy
sician made Inquiries, as to tne symptoms, aud
at once pronounced It a case of arsenical poi
soning. They bad frequently expressed a de
termination to pobon themselves, and Mr.
Woll. wbo bad read medlolne, kept a number
of different poisons In bis house. In his pockets
were found two ropes made from an old drees,
with which It is supposed they Intended hang
ing themselves. The deoeased were about fifty
years old, and leave a family of seven children.

From the Troy Timet, Sept. 12.
Coroner Barton, of Lansingburg, on Satur
day afternoon concluded the examination into
the circumstances of the tragical death of
Caroline nuuoara, woo was lounu in a
dying condition in tbe streets of that village.
Oscar Williams, one of the parties implicated
in the tragedy, maue a fun confession, in which
be swore distinctly that Mrs. Wager performed
the operation in her own house In this city,
and that Caroline was taiten tnere ror mat pur
pose, Mrs. Wager was to receive the sum of 850
for Ibe operation, and upon this she has been
fiaid 820. Williams detailed the whole proceed
ngslnthe case with a circumstantiality that

witness on Sunday night last that it had been
a difficult case to manage, bat that Caroline
was then all right. During tbe war, Mrs.
Wager Informed witness, in one of their con
veitations, that she charged $100 for each case.
Mrs. Wager and John Henry, the party wbo
left the girl in the streets of Lnnslngburg to
die, were also placed upon tbe stand; but,
under instructions or counsel, refused to
answer any questions, on the ground that
anv evidence tbey might give would tend to
criminate themselves and bring their names
into infamy and disgrace. Officer Hnrlbut was
also sworn, and testified that John Henry at
(list denied t hat the girl Caroline Hubbard had
been an Inmate of Mrs. Wager's house, but
that be subsequently admitted that be carried
ber to Lansingburg. Oflicer Hurlbut testified
that he had arrested Mrs. Wager three times
Erevlonsly upon a slmller charge. Her
ouse bad tbe reputation of being kept for that
Fnmose. At the conclusion of his testimony,
he Jury rendered a verdict that Caroline Hub
bard came to ber death from tbe result of hav
ing an operation performed upon her person
by Mrs. Pamelia M. Wager; ana that said Mrs.
P. M. Wager and John Henry are guilty of
manslaughter of a quick child. Oscar Wil
liams was then held in the sum of 12000 ball to
appear and testily in the case when called
upon. His father and brother furnished the
required bonds, and Williams was released.
The grand Jury meet to day. The case will im
mediately be presented to tbem by District
Attorney Lotlridge, and an indlotment will
undoubtedly be found against the woman
and the man Henry. So there is at last a pros-
Eect that tbe career of Mrs. Wager will be
rougbt to a termination. She can hardly
escape punishment this time.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Validity of Debts Incurred Under the
old Order of Things.
In the case of Agnew against Bobo, Just tried
in the United States Court at Greenville, South
Carolina, Judge Bryan ruled that "debts ere
ated in the purchase of slaves are good, and
will be enforced in the Federal Courts. The
warranty of the negro, aa a slave for life, will
not alter the case, though he was emancipated
by the war, because this was an event unfore
seen by tbe vender, and for wbloh he oannol
be held responsible. It is also decided that the
sequestration of debts by the Confederate Gov
ernment, and their payment to a Re.oelver.does
not release the debtor from paying them to the
creditor." If this decision Is sustained by
higher courts, the effect upon personal liabili
ties will be extensive. .

Regulars Obstroperous.
Complaints are made of the bad conduct of
the regular troops stationed here. On Thursday
night William Eldndge, a soldier of the 12th
United States Infantry, stabbed a fellow-soldier,
named George Williams, tn a drinking saloon,
irom which wound he died last night.
Two soldiers on Thursday night attempted to
garrote William Boyd, a leading Republican

8FBCIAL DESPATCH TO TUB EVENING TELEGRAPH.
Baltimore, Sept. 14. The heavy weight Base
ball Club (the heaviest nearly three hundred
and the lightest two hundred an 4 twenty-five
rounds) had their base-ball game yesterday
afternoon, at the Pastime Club grouuds, and
played only three innings, leaving the game to
be completed next week.
The novelty attracted a very large crowd,
affording much fun, as neither party had ever
filajed before. One fellow who was deemed too
Igbt they compelled to carry weights; another,
who weighed three hundred, was wheeled round
on a wheelbarrow. Tnere was an immense
amount of puffing and blowing, and a few awk
ward tumbles, making complete "grass-scrapers"
and "daisy -wipers." The championship Is yet
doubtful whether it win be Rained by the
"Heavy Beds" or "Bonny Blues."

From the Rochester Democrat, Sept, 12.
This community was terribly allocked last
late of the 105th New York Volunteers, dad
shot himself at the residence of his parents, on
Lake avenue. Major Sharp came home to tea
about 7 o'clock, after the family had risen from
the table. While he was at the table his
motder went to another part of ttao room to
litu. a miuii, null winiB ner uaua; wasturueu,
tne explosion ox a pistot was neara, ana on
turning she saw her son fall to the lloor. On
examination it was found that he was shot in
the left breast, In the region of the heart. Tne
pistol lay on tbe floor.
As soon as possible the nnfortunato man was
raised and laid opon a sola In the parlor, and
Dr. McKay was sent for. The patient was un
conscious at first, but came to himself after a
time, and was able to converse with those
about him. He did not give any explanation
concerning the occurrence, and we do notlearn
that any questions were asked on that point.
It is not supposed that he oan recover, as the
wound is In a vital nart. and tha niirtrnnn in
charge was able to give no encouragement, but
it Is, nevertheless, possible that he may sur
vive. These are all tbe facts which we are
able to supply with regard to this sad tragedy
at presen t.
Major Sharp is a son of Mr. Daniel Sham, well
known as a railroad and oaual contractor. He
is about thirty years or age, and bas been for
some time past engaged upon a oonlract entered
into by his father for the construction of a rail
road between Pittsburg and Erie, in Pennsyl
vania. He has a wife and child In Look port.
when the Rebellion broke out be went to the
field with the 13th New York Volunteers, and
was the color-sergeant of that regiment in the
first battle of Bull Run. He distinguished him
self by his bravery and contempt of danger In
that right. Being a three-mouths man he was
mustered out at the expiration of his term of
service, and came home to assist in reorulltag
and organizing the 105th New York Volunteers,
with wbloh he again went to the field. He rose
to the rank of Major, and served with gallantry
in several engagements, receiving a severe
wound on one occasion.
Blnce leaving the service Major Sharp has
been In the employment of his father on
various contracts taken by the latter. He has
been tn this city for two or three weeks past on
a visit. His wife and oh lid are in Loekport
