HUB9EB ASO SUICIDE. A Man Kills His Wife and Two Cblldren and then Commit* Suicide. Philadelphia, Mar. 30.—A horrible murder was committed here yesterday un der peculiar circumstances. Early yester day morning a man threw himself Into the Delaware river and was drowned. Subse quently a handkerchief .was found in the water t bearing the name of Blackstone. This afternoon the body was recovered, and found to be Mr. Blackstone, of the firm of Funston & Blackstone, picture frame makers, No. 012 Market street. The body was sent to bis bouse in the extreme north- western part of the city. Arriving there the parties found a party of police In possession, and that Blackstone's wife and two small children were dead, chopped to pieces with an axe. It appears that previous to com mitting the act yesterday, J3lackstone wrote ' u letter to his wife’s father, in Connecticut, saying he had killed his wife and children, and would kill himself. The party in Con necticut this afternoon telegraphed to the police authorities here, who went to the house and found the dead bodies, as before stated, and were investigating the case when the dead body of tbe father was brought in. On Blackstone’s body was found a paper stating that be had been robbed, ana was a rained man, and giving this as the reason for tbe deed. His wife appears to have been killed while lighting the fire In tbe stove, on Monday morning, as tbe neighbors beard a noise at that lime. Tbe children were killed in bed up stairs, and carried down and laid at tbe feet of the mother. Blackstone was probably iDsano. The body of Mrs, Bluckstone was lying about two feet from the range, bar head to tbe south and her feet to.tbo north, the body being straight, one leg drawn up, as were her dross uud skirts. She wus attired in a red figured delaine, trimmed about the breast with black velvet; was fully ana warmly clad, and her dress was complete in every particular, both shoes being carefully laced. Her right hand was across the left, just over the linger containing her mar riage ring. just below her left hip was the body of her fair-haired boy. He was upon bis stomach, the left side of his little face being on bis mother’s dress; his left arm was under him, and the right extended. Tbo bead was to tbe east and the feet to tbe west, and yery near to the door loading to the back purlor, Lying upon his arm, her bead also! resting against aud above tbo mother’s hip, was the little girl, her face in clined to the south. The boy had on a white night dress and the girl a figured night wrapper. Their little feet were close to gether and as while us the driven snow. .Sturdy pollcome'n warned you, with the feelings of a father, to be careful of their little feet, and not tread upon them. The poor mother's head was almost severed from her body, and the wounds In tbe chil dren’s heuds wore frightful. The following wouuds were found upon the mother: A contused wound on the back of tho head, left side, over tho left ear, made with tho pole of tho axe. A gaping wound, four inches long, cut ting through the jaw-bone in tin- middle, and extending down tho neck diagonally from the left side of tho mouth downward under the oar, cutting the roct of the tongue, and extending into the spinal column. Be neath this and further to the leit a wound four inches long and two and a half inches deep, dividing tho wind pipe aud gullet. Dr. Sbapleigh now picked up the little girl, and for a moment the feelings of a father overcame those of a surgoon. He re marked : “ Poor little thing, Its head is all mashed to pieces.” The night-cup was removed from its lit lie head. A horrible hole was In the right side of the forehead. Dr. Sbapleigh insert ed ids finger in the hole, and it went as fur hack as the length of tho linger. Tho hole was one and a half iuchos long, over tho right eye, the bones of the skull betngdriv en into the bruin. The other side of tho head is mushed io pieces. Then there are two marks of blows near oioheyo. The son was laid upon its mother, and tho body ol tjx* boy raised to the table. In removing his night-cup Hr. Slmpleigh said, “what beautiful hair.” Tne little fellow was a perfect goro of blood. In the right temple there was the mink of mi axe, tiie lioiio being fractured badly. I A lurge*coutuso(l wound was at the back and lop of the head two and a half inches long, l lie hone being fractured beneath, tho axe having glanced downwards. On tho hack of the head, below this, the hones were all knocked in, aud the head completely crushed. 1 Below this, on the right Hide of the neck, there was a frightful wound, thoaxe having penetrated through the jaw bone, breaking a piece of it oil', and on further examination it was seen that twn chops hud been made in this place, each three inches long, sever ing tiie jugular vein. Mr. BlnekHtotio formerly lived in Bran ford, Now Haven county, Conn., and wus a member ol tho Congregational Chinch in that place. lie married his wife in Madi son. He lots a brother who is engaged at farming, is v/01l oil', ami lives at Branfoid. His father is now living at Must Haven, Conn., and is well to do. Mr. Funston, the partner, stales that in a conversation with MrS. Blnckslono on Thursday who staled that insanity was hereditary in tho family of her husband. After tho horrid slaughter was perfected, tho husband seems to have washed his bunds, as a towel with blood upon it was found in the sink under tbo hydrant in the kitchen, lie then left thu house through a hack window, bowing tho shutters, which would lead tho neighbors to suppose the presence of persons within. Then no start ed olf, and when an attempt was mudo to stop him on Chestnut street he wus evident ly on his way to the river to oonsnmato his end. Further Parttcnlnrs The murder of Mrs. ]s»b l.u E. Black Htonuund her two rfifflien, by iheliusband and I'aiher, .Jhiiit-M L. Bluckstone, was every where ihnuigtiout the city yesterday the subject of conversation, and every circum stance connected with the uwlul tragedy was eagerly sought alter. All the bodies wore takcut to the rooms of Mr. Cyrus Horne, undertaker, on Tuesday evening, and lie had numerous applications for permission to view them yesterday.— Lf ud it been possible lor him to have thrown •upon his place to the public, it would been •thronged tbe entire day. The faces of Mrs. Blanks lone and the children, yesterday, had a natural appearance compared to that of the day before. Thoexpression on the hus band’s fiico was that of sternness, which was not at uil natural to him. /Pile bodios were nil dressed in white cashmere wrappers, and enclosed in plain walnut colfius, and at twelve o'clock last night were taken in clmrgo by Mr. W. C- Bushnell, un uncle of the murdered woman, and Mr. S. It.Cramp ton, both <if Madison, Connecticut, and conveyed by railroad to that town, where Zeiali Lee, father of Mrs. Bluckstone, re sides. From Mr. Crumpton we learned that tho letter which Bluckstone wrote to his i'ather-in-law after 11st* murder, was in these words: Dear Father—l send you what I ain. I have killed my three angels; they are an gels Still.j. ” JAMES. It whs -written on onu of the blunks of Adams’ Express Company, ami probably in the office ol ihe nutm*.

What his conduct wwh at home is not known, built is believed to have been reeeutly strange and limintural.

Ho has ex hibited peculiar trails which have lod some of his neighbors to believe him ut least ec centric; and his peculiarity is that, not withstanding bis wealth, placing him be yond the almost possible reuob of want, he fears ho ahull become au inmate of the poor house. The futber of Mrs. Blackstone is quite leoble from age, and is not engaged In uuy business. There is no doubt thut the murder wus com , ralttedourly on Monday morning, (not Sun day), us the latnlly was seen about all duy on Sunday, and wore hoard talking early on the lollowlng duy. Mr. Fuuston, the partner, stutes it as his belief, that Black stone Intended to murder him, as for some time past he has followed him to the work room, taking cure to close the door behind him, then seat himself near to him and pick up a heavy chisel, and sometime a jammer, and handle it in a peculiar manner, eyeing him with a strange wild look, but at the same time using the most affectionate lan guage. The report current on Tuesday, that one of the probable causes of Mr. Bluckstone’s disturbed stale of mind Hrose from some derangement in the accounts of his firm by the inaccuracy of u book-keeper, had no foundation. The luclb are thut the former book-keeper hud simply overdrawn his ac count by a lew dollars. There was nothing whatever wrong with his books, and those ot the present book-keeper are not in ques tion at all. Becnptnre of one of the Brodhead M lir .

They had stolen horses land left them on the road, having lost their way. Brooks is still at large. Parties are in pursuit and great excitement exists. THE T.'ATsrn A-HTTRIP. WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

Journal to deny a silly story that she had been poisoned in Florida. She speaks severely of the sensation writers who send on such tales of malicious temper and violence on the part of the residents of the South, and Bays: “Throughout the South, for the past three winters, I have met only kindness and courtesy from all classes, and by some I believe my visits i are gladly welcomed." Tbe Fneifle Railroad—Tbe Quarrel for tbe Spoilt. The desperate onslaught of Fisk, Jr., to effect an entrance into the Union Pacific Railroad “ ring,” and the sturdy defence of those who have possession of the spoils, are giving to the publio some developments of rare Interest. To understand the case it is necessary to examine into the financial for mation of that gigantlo concern called tbe Union Pacific Railroad Company. It was created by Congress in 1862, and in an ad ditional act of 1864 the stupidity of our Con gressional lawyers virtually placed in tbe hands of the company the power to destroy all government interest in the road by al lowing an issue on first mortgage bonds to take precedence of tbe amount per mile given by the original act. The company, therefore, in 1864 found itself In possession of means far more than adequate to the re quired purpose of building the road. In the meantime a favored few, princi pally originators and directors of the com pany, had been permitted to subscribe to the stock, and, on the surface, a certain per centage of the subscription was called in. The resources, exclusive of capital etock, were, by tbe company’s own estimate, as follows: United Btates bonds on 517 miles, at * •10.000 per mile ~ 88,272,000 United States bonds on 150 miles, at $4!i.OUO-per mile 7,200,000 United btates bonds on 433 miles, at $32,000 per mile 13,856,000 Total .. .. .... 829,328,000 Issue of first mortgage bondsof equal amount. _ : 29,328,000 Land gran t of 12.BOOacres per mile, at 81 50 per acre - 21,120,000 But these 14,080,000 acres of land are and were worth more than one dollar and fifty cents per acre, as above estimated; for Congress itself passed an act refusing to sell its own reserved alternate sections tor less than two dollars and fifty cents per acre. This price would swell the above umount to $93,856,000, giying $85,323 per mile for the eleven hundred miles—a little moro than twice tbe coat per mile of the railroads of Massachusetts and Ohio, a cost which the Pacific Railroad should not exceed, espec ially as its maxium gradient is ninety feet to the mile. From the manner in which tbe road has been built it is probable that, even with the excessive cost of transporta tion, the expenditures have not exceeded the average cost of rouds in the States above named. With $85,323 per mile with which to build the road, and the stock already a clear gain, it became a problem with the direc tors, or stockholders, as you please, to de vise some method of pocketing whatever surplus of the above amount there might be after deducting the cost of the road. Even with prodigal management, and es timating the cost at $55,322, this surplus could not be less than $30,000 per mile, or about s36,ooo,ooo—certainly a most tempt ing bait for the keen brains that man aged it to evade the law and grasp tbe vast pile. For president and diroctors to take contracts signed by themselves, for themselves, and at their own prices, would lie a manifest breach of law and of New Y'ork financial morality which even the Uni ted States government could not stand, espe cially where so few of its Congressmen and officials were interested. Tbe astute mana gers, therefore, resorted to the French idea of the Credit Mobilier, and, to do the busi ness quietly and avoid disagreeable com plications and personal responsibility, ob tained a charter from the Quaker State of Pennsylvania. The incorporators and stockholders were the same as the Pacitic Railroad Company, and this chameleon only changed its color that it might absorb instead of reflect the golden light that shone upon it. To still further stand within the pale of the law it was considered best to look for a contractor in Nebraska, and a Mr. Hoxio conveniently nppearod with a contract for 247 miles of the road. Ho very naturally, unable to carry out 1 his contract, applied in duo timo to tho Credit Mobilier for aid. This company ioauod him money and became his finan cial go-between in the transfer of cash from tho Union Pacific safe to the sale of the Credit Mobilier, which it is proven is the same strong box. The balance of the road iias been managed somewhat differently, It has been let under contract to Oakes Amos and Davis. Tho former is a member of Congress and has been working hard lately to get tho company’s affairs entirely removed to the jurisdiction of tho District of Columbia. It appears that every stock holder has an interest in the Ames and Da vis contracts—that is, these men represont tho Union Pacific Railroad, the Credit Md bilier. or the contractors, or tho stockhold ; ers. Quiet citizens, who are assessed for taxes, can “pay their money and take their choice.” The contracts wore thus kept in tiie fumily. Tho great game moved on to fortune. The stock, for sake of show, hud been as sessed and paid from one pocket into the other by inukingenormousdividends from the Credit Mobilier branch of the company. Tho safe wus not sufficiently largo to bold tiie plethoric stream which swelled, accord ing to the sworn statement of a director, to $3(1,060,060 of profits. Hero Fisk, Jr , upponrson thoscene, hav ing probably scented out the game and de termined to shure the plunder, which looked fatter even than Erie, Hesubscribed in 1567 for $2,000,000 of stock, and by some means obtained elsewhere by purchase six shares more. He tendered to tho treasurer tho cash ostensibly paid in on each share—fifty live per cent; but the treasurer refus'ed to accept it, for it would have given Fisk, Jr., a share in “thirty millions” of spoils, which would have restored him his cash with an enormous existing profit and a still greater future one. At a stockholders’ meeting they also kept Mr. Fisk, Jr., out in the cold upon his six Bhares of stock, and have even on this small amount, never"'let him into the golden “ ring.” “ Erie,” therefore, declared war against the Union Credit Pacific Mo bilier Company, and on July 3, ISO'S made a startling affidavit before Judge Barnard as to the transactions of the concern. This resulted in an injunction against the com pany, or its two branches, which has finally been productive of tho litigation which has lately besn so prominent in our Supreme Court. After a hot contest among the law yers, to see if the case should be removed to the jurisdiction of the United States Courts or retained in our Supreme Court, a receiver has been appointed, additional affi davits made and some startling evidence elicited, going far to confirm the statements above made. Even a United States ;Com missioner is charged with having been bribed with $25,000 to accept the )ast twenty mile section, so that the plunderers could at once put their hands on the government loan. It is stated also that large detours have been made in the road line for the purpose of increasing the length and there by swelling the government subsidy. The great contest for the past few days bos been to get possession of the books of the company, and this has finally been done in part by ordering the safe of the company to be forced open. The evidence elicited from them is as yet meagre. A long and exhaustive examination will bo required to demonstrate the exact condition of the com - pany’s affairs, which, from the general mix ture of Credit Mobilier, Union Pacific, con tractors, directors and stockholders, will give ample food lor hungry lawyers, rail road speculators and managers. In the list of the stockholders tbe name of F;sk, Jr., appears twice. Up to the present moment the develop ments made are startling, and they show the general features of tho most gigantic swindle ever perpetrated under the shadow of the Inw. The great mistake made in carrying it out has been the leaving of a very few of the minor and unobtrusive stockholders out in tho cold In the division of the spoils. Hence the assault of Fisk, Jr., upon their works. In the suit at law it is doubtful ifFisk, Jr., can proyeblmself entitled to more than aix shares of stock; but those six sharesare masters of tho prin ciples involved, and may, if well han dled by the owner and his lawyers, cause the company to disgorgo the millions they have virtually plundered rom the Uuitod States people by their system of management In the trust confid ed to them. To increase their gains and prepare forthe final grand financial stroke, as yet unplayod, It may well bo Imagined that, upou a thorough onglueorlng exami nation ol the road, it will be found that everything has been sacrificed to the single doslro of distunce, for through distance the public treasury of the people had been tupped continuously. It is easy to deceive the political commissioners with refer ence to the locatlou, gradients, curva ture, ditching, width of excavations and embankments, quality of culverts, bridge work and general superstructure. The numerous wornout and broken-down loco motives are the best proof of the ruinous condition of the track. All these tilings tell us of tho necessity of rebuilding tho roud before It can carry freight to advan tage. Tho money required to put tho road in order wil 1 not permit tho payment of the Interest on the first mortgage bonds for some yours. The holders may, inconsequence, forodoso tho mortgage and-cause the gov ernment interest, or sixteen, thirty-two and forty-eight thousand dollars per mile, to disappear. The holders of the greater part oftbese first mortgage bonds ure tho Union Credit Pacific Mobilier Company, Con gressmen, President and Directors, Stock holders and Contractors. Unless the gov ernment looks to tho interests of the people of the United States in our great Pacific Railroad we may expect to see it pass, as a clear profit, into the bands of those by whom, under the guise of law.lt bos been so cleverly manipulated.— N.

Great evils will result to the country, It is predicted, unless the axe of the woodman is restrained. It is asserted that, except in the mountain re gions, nearly the entire surface from the Atlantic to the Mississippi has been despoiled of its primeval forest growth, and that nowhere have fiat arable lands been allowed to reproduce the forest growth. Three-fourths of the origi nal store of timber, it is belived, have already been consumed. The untim'bered surface of the plains between the Missis sippi and the Pacific amounts to fourteen hundred thousand square mljes, and it is asserted that, by a little artificial effort, forests may be gradually extended over this large area. Experiments thus far made have proved successful. Trees to the num ber of millions have been produced from the seed 4 of almost every forest species by the unaided efforts of a single association in Nebraska.

Mr. Johnson, after returning thanks for the cordiality of the welcome, said he in tended to devote the remainder of his life as a private citizen to the vindication of his official life, and his native State from foul obloquy which bad been heaped upon him and her. Though bent, he had not been broken by the storm which bad nearly wrecked the Ship of State. He had seen in the papers his own obituary, and he sup posed lie might uow be as one risen from the, dead, and he thought belief might be plaoed in one come from the grave. [A voice, “Not dead yet.”] Wien the Con gress of the United States, excited by in terest and the spirit of tyranny, transcended the constitution, he vetoed their bills ipid sent them back. 1 tell yon here to-day, and as one speak ing from the dead, that the danger to the government is in the legislative depart ment. The executive has only negative power. The judiciary can bnly expound laws, but the legislature can pass laws of the most arbitrary character, and, under pretence oflaw, trample upon the liberties of the people. Those who are trying to undermine the Constitution cangoonuntil Congress—yes, a capricious; yes, a des- ! potic ; yes, a usurping Congress—will take away the liberties of the people. But I feel 1 that I stood as a break-water at the head of the American people, and arrested its pro gress for a time at least, until the people < know what wasgoingon; and while others may boast of haviog established the gov ernment, I feel I can, without egotism, ! cluim the credit of haviog been efficient in i its preservation. j The time has come to talk about Ibe first I principles of the government. Take away 1 the restraints which hold back Congress, ; and you have a despotic government. Wipe out the other two departments of the 1 government, and you have Congress with i its discretion, or, perhaps, I should say, its indiscretion, the measure of its power. Jef- j ferson describes such a body as this the ex- ! act embodiment of despotism ; and let me j tell you here that a wise and good prince is ' Is infinitely better than a usurping, arbi-j trary, despotic Congress. (Voice, “Thai’s I so. Andy, go it!”) Look at the course of r Great Britain towards the colonies, and : compare it with that of Congress. Look ut i the Declaration of Independence, ami see : bow the acts of Congross are similar to the course of Great Britain. Then, when that declaration was made, and the people 6aw their wrongs, they were aroused to gain theii freedom. Look at our condition. The great writ of habeas corpus suspended, and when a citizen «f the United States appealed to the Supreme Court, an arbi* trary Congress took from him the right of appeal and bis liberty. He alluded to the charge of treason to parly, and asked whoa had ho been false to the platform upon which be was nominated. THE MOSES OF THE COLORED PEOPLE. He then took up the sneering accusatiou I about his being Moses, and asked if it was I not be that freed the negroes in Tennessee. | Freedom was only liberty to work ; it was not to build up a miserable lnzuroui to be supported by the government. Let me tell you, colored men—and I have never de ceived white men or black men—that theso white men who talk about your old masters have only delivered you up to new masters; you are slaves to the league. Let me say to you, as I said to my old servuut, as I told him when l came back, “Sam, the only difference between us is that I freed you four years ago, and I was only emancipated on the-lib of March. Ho you see lam ad dressing you as a freedman. [Luughler.] As an evidence of his loyulty, tho ex- President had a paper signed by Win. G. Brownlow, acknowledging the receipt of sl,f>oo to establish a Union press at Knox ville, and defraying Brownlow's expenses in escaping from secession oppression. Mr. Johnson continued : “ The time is full of alarming portents, tho country is in danger, and let rae lift my warning vnico. Look ut tho taxes of tho Stato and federal courts. The federal gov ernment collects one hundred and fifty mil lions, three times as much us was necessary a few years ago for tho whole expenses of tho government to pay the bondhold er, You hlack men might as well know this, that, while they have been enfran chising you ami disfranchising white men, they have been making you slaves. Yea, you uro all sluves together to tho bond holder, who never shed a drop of blood. I would to God that the government had not tho credit to borrow a dollar to carry on war. If the people had had beforehand to pay tho cost ot the war wo should never have had ono. Thank God! my march bus not been through Golgatba— my honors have not boeu guiued by blood. Tho widows and the one-urmod soldiers cannot attribute their wrongs to me. I stand here vindi cating the constitution as it was handed down to me ; und here, in the last hems of life, I call upon you to cling to the constitu tion of tho country as a mariner clings to his compass.” Mr. Johnson spoke about two hours, and was listened to with the greatest attention, aud on his retiring from the stand was heartily applauded. At the close he was at once surrounded by old friends, and sev eral hours passed in interchanging remin iscences. In conversation he spoke of President Grunt, whom he characterized as a bundle of prejudices, and alluded to the cabinet as a gift enterprise cabinet .-879,770,000 State Items.

Ofllclal Report of General Coster’s Tote Campaign—Rescue of the Two Female Captives. St. Louis, April, 2, 1809. A long report was received at Military Headquarters this morning from General Custer, detailing his operations in the field. After breaking camp at Medicine Bluff creek, the first sign of Indians was discov ered on the 13th of March, and the whole command numbering 1,500 men, moved forward rapidly, making daily marches two or three times as long as those of the Indians. Tents were burned and all blank ets, except one per man, and all surplus clothing shared the same fate. On the 15th they reached a camp ground which had been abandoned only two days before. About the same time a herd of ponies in charge of two Indians were discovered. Caster determined to capture the herd, but, after proceeding some two miles, saw in the distance, partially concealed behind the sand hills, a body of Indians. Alter a good deal of signalling eight of them came out, from whom learned that 260 Cheyenne lodges were encamped within ten or twelve miles, 200 of which were directly in front of a small stream. Medi cine Arrow, chief of the Cheyennes, and several other noted chiefs, then rode up, Among the 200 lodges were those of the Dog Soldiers, the most mischievous, blood thirsty and barbarous band of Indiana that infest the Plains. General Custer at first intended to attack this villianous lot, when ho discovered that the Cheyennes held two white female captives, Mrs. Mor gan and Miss White. He concluded not to do so, at least until he had those women oat of the hands of the savages. He there fore went with Medicine Arrow to his lodge in the centre of the villlage. Before entering the village be perceived the great est excitement and noticed that everything was prepared for fight. The General thinks that had be then been compelled to attack them with his fatigued troops he could not have effected more than the capture oftheir lodges. He ordered the arrest of the chiefs 1 Big Head and Dull Knife, intendingto hold them under guard as hostages for the white : women captives. After considerable par- ! leying, and only when the rope and tree 1 were chosen, did the Indians deliver up i their captives. The story of their treatment told by the captives, is of such barbarous , cruelties and enormous indignities that it is j surprising that civilized beings could have . endured it and survived. The Indians ex pressed, lhems.elves Leaitilyskk of war and are willing to go to that part of the country which has been designated for them. ‘ The General did not lose a single man of his command. Ho concludes his report with the following words:— “ I now hold captive Cheyenne chiefs as hostages for the good behavior of their tribe and for the ful filment of the promise of the latter to come in and conform to the demands ot the gov ernment. This I consider is the end of the Indian war.” Latest by Telegraph! TlfK COAHECTICUT ELECTION ltadlcals Claim the State .-'tbe Content Clone. Hartford, April 5—9 F. M.—Returns comin&in indicate Ibe.electionofthe Repub lican State ticket by about 1,000 majority, and the election of Strong over Dixon for Congress in the Third District. Returns from forty towns give 321 net Republican guin over last spriug’s vote. The full vote of Hartford gives for Governor, Marshall Jewull, Republican, 12,70(5; James English, Democrat, 3,275. Democratic majority 509. For Congress, Judus E. Strong, Republi can, 2,757; James Dixon, Democrat, 3,207. Dixon’s majority 510. Republican gain of 147 over the vote for Governor last spring. Ten towns in Hartford county give a net Republican gain of 141 over last spring. Dixon runs behind his ticket so far. Waterbury gives English, for Governor, 1.052; Jewell, 940. Democratic gain 250. Kellogg, Republican for Congress, 1,109; Babcock, Democrat, 845. Seventy four towns show a Republican gain of 1,351. The Democrats give up the State. Dixon Is surely defeated by Strong. In the First Congressional District, Bab cock, Democrat is elected. In tbeSecond District, Starkweather, Re publican. In the Third District, Strong, Republican. In the Fourth District, Beaman, Demo crat. Tbe Times, Democrat, sava the vote of the State will fall 10,000 behind that of last year. Hartford falls off 400 and New Haven over (500. The result on the Governor is close with tbe chances in favor of Jewell. The Democrats elect Congressmen in the 2d and 4th Districts, and the Republicans in the Ist and 3d Districts. The Legislature shows considerable Dem ocratic gains, but will probably be Repub lican in both branches by reduced ma jorities.

Mr. Garfield took the floor and explained and advocated tho bill. Mr. Butler (Mass.) demanded that tho bill be read. The Speaker remarked that it was quite unusual to have bills of its length* reud. Mr. Eldrige hoped it would be ruled out of order to have printed bills read. The Speaker remarked that the bill had its first and second readings. The bill was then read on file. Mr. Garfield Bald that the importance of a bill on the census could not be over ruled. He should not have taken the floor but for the request of the Chairman of the census Committee (Mr. Stokes,) because he Mr. Garfield had been Chairman of that Committee last session. He reminded the House of the remarkable fact that the Constitution of the United States was the only Constitutien of a mod ern government that in itself provides for tho manner of taking the census. They were living underanew dispensation of the government, in which population was the great source of wealth as well as of power. He believed the time was coming when every legislator must come furnished with facts, not theories. Come with a great array of facts, exhibiting the wants, the wealth and industry, the tendency and progress of the people of whom he proposes to legis late. If he came without them, he would be unfit tor his place. This was the age of statistics; the time would be like the pilot without a compass. Who could doubt that the next censuß would reveal more im portant truths concerning the situation of the people than any census had ever seen taken before. In regard to representa tion he expressed his opinion that instead of the number ol representa tives beiDg a fixed number, tbe basis of representation should be fixed. The Com mittee had chosen as that basis 150,000. This would give for the next decade 270 members of the House, which would he an increase of 27. He believes that a population of 185,000 was too much for any one man to represent, and as the result of the late war and the personal relations in which a member is now brought to his constituents, would render It impossible for anyone to do faith fully und well all the duties of his station for that number of populatiou.

S. Ralhvon, from Ibo committe appointed at tbe last meeting to prepare a report on the law now in this county and .

The report states that the act of 1866 embraces substantially all that the committee have been able to find in our statute books in relation to the matter. The act of the abovo date was here read at length, and tho committee suggested its publication in the Lancaster Fawner and 1 the newspapers of tbe city and county.

The - First of April.— Business men say that less business was transacted, in this city, on Thnrsday, than at any first of April for many years. They say that of aofount of the establishment of banks in the towns of Columbia, Mount Joy, Mari etta, Strasburg, etc., business Is now very generally distributed over the oounty, and money can change hands without putting 'he parties Interested to the trouble of com ' iug to Lancaster. Many too, to avoid the ! confusion usually Incident to the first, make arrangementsfortbetraneaction of business in the latter part of March, or shortly after the first, and thu3 havo more leisure to satisfactorily arrange their affairs. It appears also that owing to the vigilance of the city police, and the care exercised by their present efficient Chief and the Mayor that the adroit pick-pockets who visit us on such occasions had but little opportunity to ply their nefarious vocation. But one instance of pocket picking has thus far been reported at headquarters, and In this in stance the money, small in amount, was taken while itsTownerwas in an intoxicated condition. The weather was favorable during the i whole day; although in the afternoon ap- I pearances indicated a rain but few drops •f ell, and the moving of families from their i old ioto their new homes was not at all in ! terfered with. All day long our streets j were filled with all sorts of vehicles piled j with all kinds ot furniture, and no accident I or untoward event occurred to mar the 1 general activity and hilarity of our people j on this, the moving, and for many, the ! busiest day of the year.

Pout Deposit and Columbia Railroad, TtIK ECLITSK AND THE CORN CROP A good many honest souls really believe that there will be a short corn crop because there will be au eclipse of the sun next August. We cannot prove that there will be a good crop, but these are facts. The moon will cut olfthe light of the sun part ly, for less than half a day, because it will be exactly between the snn and the earth. Once in every month the moon always comes near the relative position, and al most every year it eclipses the sun to some part of the earth. The only difference be tween this year and uny other is,therefore, that the corn crop, and every other, will get perhaps a quarter of a day’s less sun shine than if too eclipse did not occur. The Bun and moon, separately and con jointly, influence the tides; perhaps, also, aerial tides and storms, ana the weather somewhat—They may, or may not. Somebody guesses so; bnt it is not guess work to say that the eclipse will in no way effect the corn crop for good or ill,—Ameri can Agriculturist. I. O. 0.
