Uevkrdv JonNSO.v, who was almost eighty yeai3 of age, died very i euddenlv at Annapolis, the capital of: 'Maryland, on Thursday night of last week, lie had gone thete. on profes sional business, and mi the evening, with several other gentlemen, had dined with (lovcrnor Carroll. About half past eight o'clock he was found lying dead on the ground in the yard, with the light portion of his skull ftnertured, caused, as i3 supposed, by a fall, 1U bead striking the edge of the proiectingbaseofthewallofthehou.se. Mr. "Johnson was Kaltitnoie s most i eminent citizen and a gentleman known and honoicil throughout the country. As a deep and profound lawyer he had few if any equals, alid had filled many public st'ltioiis with grt.'t credit and distinction.

Is the State Senate last week the Fin'nncc Committee reported with a'l m-native rceomme ndation the bill pro- I vlling for the payment or a oounty 01 $200 to each of the surviving soldiers of the Mexican war from tins State, nud 011 motion of Mr. Ibisscy the bill was recommitted for further consider ation. This adverse action of the ttce Tvas not anticipated. The commit', e ouuht at least have given the Senate an opportunity lo discuss it and not Lave ruthlessly slaughtered it in their own room. Lven the joint resolution for the purchase of a copy of rurdon' Digest for each member of the Senate an d House was more re spectfully treated by the. House com mittee having it in charge, for they re ported it as committed and gave the House an opportunity to bury it. We assume that the only plausible objec tion against the bounty bill would be the amount of money which it would take from the treasury. Let us briefly examine this question. There were tiro regiments of volunteers from this State fn the war with Mexico, embrac ing ticentif companies in all. As we aid once befote, there arc ri.r or per haps seven who are Tiring ot the com pany that went from this place. Of the company from the Summit we only know of three members who survive. But estimating that there are eight survivors in the aggregate to each company, the whole numlicr who would receive the bounty would bo lf.0, and th" money required to pay them would amount to $32,000. This, we admit, ia a considerable item, and ought not to be thrown away for a doubtful or unnecessary purpose. The taxpayers, however, will cheerfully foot the bill when they know that it is to reward men who voluntarily, and not by tho compulsory process of a draft, risked thir lives on a foreign soil at tho call of th-ir country. Where the object cf the State's bounty is meritorious, as iu this instance it is. the people will never complain Tho Legislature found no difficulty last week in ad journing for four rX" at a cost to the peopl of not much. :f any, less than 15,000. to attend the h'un.e.pal c oc tioii iu Philadelphia.

He could irake $15,000 a year by personal attention to his plantation, and i the paltry sum of 5,000 was no inducement to remain among old time abolitionists. Ho could not conscientiously hold l.is seat as the representative of a Republican con stituency except upon the terms or justice and right, with full political equality be fore his brother Senators. Negroes were leing killed all over the Soulli, and the bloody shirt borne for political eilcet to serve the inteicsts of the Republican party in the North, lie should assert his rights as a Senator, without regard to the social standing of Senators who attempted to control this body. His people weie treated only as aliens, sojourners, in a country where tho Constitution declared they should be citizens. If they were such in fact, it was limo for them to make terms with tho whiles for self-interest. His ex perience was that blood was thicker than water. If the negro is to have no political lights, he is in duly bound to regard bis pos'sonal advantages. The white men owned llie land, the negro perfoinicd the labor. At this point Mr. IJiuco took occasion to sny that President Grant was not. only a hypocrite but a liar, who had made prom ises in words to break Iheni iu 1: is acts. If his assertions were not agreeable whilo an in. h. it ant nomination was pending in ex ecutive session, he could state them more plainly in open session. He had been led to look upon the Republican leaders as the true friends of tho South, but ho could freely say that in his judgment they wtro hypocrites. If Pinchback was not ad mitted, and at the same time tho Kellogg Government was upheld, the Senate would be acting inconsistently.

Senator Alcorn said his colleaguo, on rc ilcciion, would modify his views, lie claimed that ihc negroes had been misled by the carpet-bag element, and vindicated his independent course by saying that it was tl.e conduct of Northern intruders that had made him go independent in tho canvasses in his State during the past three years, lie was glad that tne truth had at last come out of the month of one despised, ijMt w ho represented a free race very useful to the North iti building up leeonstruction. knew the negro character well, and bore wUmony to their fidelity in war as well as to iL'cir child-like simplicity in ac- I ccpting citizen&.''n under the reconstruc tion acts. He believed the Jay was at hand when tho uegioes of Id: South .'ould in their own interest divido their vote it'xl favor the Humiliation of men without re gard to party. Senators Morton and Cameron said this proceeding was extraordinary, and they could i:ot understand what had caused a lack of faith in the principles and purposes of the great Republican paity, and trusted that, in cooler moments, the Senator from Mississippi would perceive that he was act ing upon false grounds, as the vote in tho I'inchback case thereafter would indicate. The Democrats applauded Bruce's ar raignment of the Administration, and Sen ator Gordon said, like Simon of old, "Lord, let now thy servant depart in eace, for this day have I beheld niy salvation." Senator Tburman said that the remarks of the Senator from Mississippi were a com plete vindication of his (Thurman's) posi tion on this question since the war, and the day was at hand when the negroes of the South would lind that their true inter ests required them to recognize that tho decent white meu of the South were their true friends. The vote on the confirmation of Billings resulted in three majority, and the Senato adjourned in great cotifusiou. Remorse.

He pulled tlovin the long dark hair from cither side of bis pallid temples -a custom among the Hebrews iu making a solemn statement and looking the picture of misery and despair, proclaimed, in stri dent tones, his innocence. He almost shrieked out words to the effect that he had never seduced Sara Alexander, that he had never laid a band upon her and that he vtus as innocent as the child unborn. Meanwhile the crowd collected around him, and his remarks became so confuted as to Iks unintelligible. "Have you anything else to tay ?" asked the court. The piisoner, throwing up his hands, shouted, "Yes, yes," and again loudly as serted his iiinocenco. He was sentenced to ba banged on tho 241 h of March next. New York, i'eb. 13. Shortly before eleven o'clock last night some Urooklyn police ofliceifc, while passing through Cum berland ST. et, saw a crowd, and on going up to tl.e spot they found that some parties had hung the clligy of Rubenstein, the condemned innrilerer lo the limb of a tree.

One of the strangest bits of family history is uow being developed in a suit before the Supremo Court of New York to set aside a will. The facts of the case are brielly as follows : Alout a year and a half ago John I). Ijewis, a merchant of New York ci!y, was thrown from a carriage in Central Park and killed, leaving by his will, drawn by himself, an estate valued at SoO.OOO. Of l.is family history no one knew anything' beyond the fact that he had leen frerpiently beard to say that he had no relatives living. I5y his will he left some $i"i.(.Kit in legacies to va rious persons and the residue of his cstato to a Miss Taylor. Tho will was pronounced worthless try i-.iOminenl lawyers, jrrovided a relative oft the clt." man could be found to attack it in court. An attorney who had done some business with Lewis remembered that he had heard him say ho camo from Canada, near Toronto. On the" Strength of this alone a personal was iuse.i"! in a Toronto paper, enquiring for the next of ?' in of John I). Lewis. This jersonal brought forth Henry Lewis, a full blooded negro, ad Mary Lewis, his sister who claimed to be half brother and half sister to John I. Icwis, tho New York merchant. The story is that the mother of Lewis was a tlavo near Wheeling. West Virginia, and while living itheie was married to a negro and that the issue of this marriage was Henry and Mary. After the birth of these chil dren their father, a fugitive slave, was captured and taken to his owners in Ken tucky. Sarah Ivewis, the mother and wife, then flod to Canada and was shortly after followed by her children. In Canada sho formed a connection with a prominent citi zen of Simcoe, and the result of that con nection was John D. Lewis, the rich New York merchant, whose uegro kith and kin, though disowned by him while living, aro in a fair way to become the heirs to his estate worth a quarter million dollars.

A young man named Tlrmos WeH. lately arrived from England, los bis life in an attempt to save the life of Lmily An derson, a gill of 17 years, who in a inojrK'iit of desperation sprang off a ferry boat int.i the river at New Yoik oh Sunday. The girl was recovered and restated, but the brave voiiiig man j eiished. I The Rev. Fred Bell, of Brooklyn, less , fortunate than tho Rev. Beecher, was promptly di-mied by hi church, last Fii day night, o:i the a!f.davit of Mrs, Morris I hat l.e had insulted her, ami worse, but with eq-ial impudence h.i has since pub- bshed a card rea.ssei ting his. innocence and bis deteiminalion to go un pieaihing as usual. On Fiiday ronrr.ing, in a tenement ' house in Scranton. w s discovered t he dead bodies of a young wife nnl her hab?. Tho husband. Charles Cerzerwhiski. worked at Taylorviile, and only spent Sundays at home. It is supposed the woman died from cramp, as in her convulsions she ha I unmistakably crushed tho life out of her live months old baln. A negro caught stealing l;i:itcr te longing to Gcog? J. Btiirts ;;t Fianklin, Tenn., was given bis choice between the ' alternatives of receiving a tl-vging. going to prison, or leaving the State.

George Lord, of Wct Roxbury. died a few days ago, lie get a piece of meat in his throat, and was in a fair way to choke to death, when a d ctor prlh-d it ont t with his finger. Then a curt cut of air ' began tn circulate between the skin and ' llcsh, puffing tho man up even to his fingers and toes, and causing him intense pain. He soon died, after whieh his body resumed its normal size. j The conclusion arrived at by Ihe com- i mittee who investigated the alleged out- : rages in Pike and Armito counties, Missis sippi, aro : that tbe Federal officer were '. not restricted in making the collection; that Collector Redmonds was peisonally , offensive to the jieople, and r was advised on the eve of the election to "shake tho town," and that tho Mayor of Summit was drunk when he signed the dispatch calling for troops. The Van Pelt brothers, of Mateawan. N. J., have been an institution of that place for over half a century past. They were four in nmnkr, staunch old-time : Democrats, who always went to the polls together and voted in the order of their ages. None of them ever married, hut. ' their house was conducted by a lister, and all became wealthy. The youngest died last Sunday, and the only survivor, Alex- nue ah 'Vvn Tr,'' ander, is now very ill at the age of riyhtv- l;cuterl the:r wo.b -six years. they had brvuiglitL-tisjU-'J In the Supreme Court, one dar last: week, John D. Lewis, a colored man, made application to bo permitted to practice in the Courts of this State. Upon an exami nation of his certificate, issued by the Clerk of tho Superior Court of Massashusctts, and a perusal of a commendatory letter written by Governor Gaston, of the same State, the Court decided to grant tho request and ad mit .Mr. Lewis to tho bar of Pennsylvania, This is the first instance of a colored man being admitted to practice in this State, an application for a similar privilege having been refused some two years ago, The Lewistown Detiiocrat notes a curi ous ciicumstances which occurred last week, in connection with the death of a lady near Recdsvillo. Ou Wednesday night a clock in tho house struck ont, when tho bauds indicated tbe time to be live minutes before one. But, what was still more sin gular, tho clock, being out of order had not struck before for two years past. The sick woman, noticing tho striking, men tioned this fact, and added, "I will die at 1 o'clock." And, sure enough, precisely twenty-four hours later, at five minutes before 1 o'clock, Thursday night, her spirit took iU flight. It i.'-.. ;. V . . 1 - e-.var - l-r i.:i rfv V.
