SI'ICIDFJt IN HUW YOICK.
A Hi e BlNcovercd in u. .Store and the
Proprietor Arrested on stiNpicion of
Arson-He OummitM Huiciae in His
Cell*
rri-om to days Nciv York Herald.]
At 4.4 b o clock yesterday morning, Oflicer
Cook, of the Seventeen til Precinct, discovered-a
fire in the hat, cap and gentlemen’s furnishing
store, No. 1 115 Avenue A, when the ilames were
I speedily extinguished, resulting in a dam
-1 age of about $5O. Subsequent examination
1 resulted in the discovery that" the flames
I had originated in a common pine paeking
box, standing under the counter of the store, and
! partially filled with waste paper. The, box was
charred both within and without, while every
thing pointed clearly to the fact that an attempt
at arson-bad been made;••'atifl'-Jiy direction of Ser
geant Davis,Officers Cook and Gould, of the Sev
enteenth Precinct, arrested - the - proprietor,
Samuel Laueheimer, a German, and 35 years of
age, on a charge of having set fire to his pre
mises, upon which he was locked up at the Po
lice Station on the corner of Fifth street and First
avenue.
; Fire Marshal A. E. Baker was notified, and he
arrived at the station-house at f 1.30 A. M., and
examined the prisoner. Laueheimer stated that
he knew nothing of the . fire, until aroused by
the,alarm, having retired at 11 o’clock on Sun
day night. In his possession was found an in
surance policy for $3OO in the Lorillard Com
pany, on the household furniture, and made out
in his own name, besides one for $OOO in the
Greenwich Co. on stock and household furni
ture, and'another for $OOO in the Rutgers Com
pany on stock nud store fixtures, both of the
latter being made out in the name' of his wife.
Jeannette. The prisoner was not searched when
first aiTcsiod. but at the preliminary examination
by. I ire Marshal Baker, tire search was made in a
thorough and complete manner, but no weapon
was found-concealed on his person. -About ten
o'clock the prisoner was remanded to his cell,
when he exclaimed, “i'm a ruined mar, !"
■Soon after, his wife arrived at the station
house wiih a breakfast, which was sent down
to Laueheimer l,v the (Ipornian. As soon as he
leached tin* cell door,.the doorman discovered
that il,i pri.-o'ner had committed suicide bvshoot
ing himself through the breast witlismall-sized
Shaij.e's retolver. death evidently having been
instantaneous. The deceased was iving on the
bunk, wiili ills right leg extended to the floor,
and the right hand lying on the brea.-t near th*
wound, the pistol having dropped from the re
lax, d fingers to the (lagging of the'cell. Tin
weapon had been held so close to the breast when
fired that the shin was scorched oy tuc exp.oded
powder. -
. Ihv'buildlng alleged to hate been set on fire is
a four-story brick one, and is owned by Mr. John
Black, who is amply insured in the Germania.
The upper stories are occupied by a number of
tcnams.ainoDg.whom great excitement prevailed
when the alarm of fire was'given. .
*. THU INvUEST.
At .-> o'clock last evening. Coroner Bchirmer
held nn inquest over the hodv of the deceased, at
the Seventeenth Precinct Station-house,wheli the
follow in g facts were elicited: CX
Jeannette Lattcheimer, the widow of the de
ceased, testified: That she went” to bed at'”ten
o'clock on the previous night, and that her hus
band came home near eleven o’clock, and retired
to rest on a sofa, but in the same room; she was
awakened, ns she thinks, about four o'clock, and
rushed, outside with the. baby, and is of opinion
that her scream awoke her husband, who came
out after her with the other children. Her testi
mony further showed that” thertf had been an es
trangement between her and Iter husband, and
that he was of an excitable temperament and
would sometimes lose control of his temper and
threaten to shoot himself. She had on one occa
sion. about two months since, taken u pistol

TIIE DOMINION OF CANADA.
Nova Scotia Hostile to Coni'citcration.
Monthkai., Sept. 21, 1867.— The sanguine
dreams of confederates in the Dominion of Can
ada are clamped hy the election news from Nova
Scotia. To them "the news is evidently very dis
gusting. There are nineteen constituencies in that
province, and eighteen of them havo returned
“antis”—that is, anti-confederates, one constit
uency only going union. The Nova Scotia vote
(seventeen)) tlicrelore goes solid into opposition.
Now what does this indicate? It indicates:
1. That the people were resolved to show that
tlie scheme should have been submitted to them
before being made law.
2. That tile people believe it is not for the in
terests of their province to be united with the
Canadas.
3. That the people have no faith in the probity
or roil patriotism of the set of men forming the
into government of Canada and the bulk of the
present Privy Coutieil of the Dominion; and the
people arc right.
Is the Dcminioifgoing to break up already? Lot
the provinces seek admission into our Union,
which is out- and undivided.

OCR WHOLE COUNTRY.
I have recently been in Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia, having left Washington only
night before last. While there I took special
pains to inform myself in regard to the precent
purposes of Mr. Johnson, and obtained what I
am about to state from reliable authority.
X declare upon my responsibility as a
Senator of- the United States.- that to-dey
Andrew Johnson meditates and designs
forcible resistance to the authority of Congress.
I make this statement deliberately, having re
ceived it from unquestioned and unquestionable
- authority., I.eann,ot,point ourpthe oecasionyu
’ which he may isttcriiptito use’ mUlfciiw force.- Xi
may be to prevent the assembling of. Congress, or
when assembled, IT the House of Representatives
passes articles of impeachment, or it may be for
the purpose of forcing the Southern Senators
and Representatives to seats in Congress. The
question may be asked, "Hctw can he do such a
thing?” You recollect that six months ago Gov.
Swann of Maryland was elected a United States
Senator, and that a few weeks afterward he de
clined, giving grave reasons of State as the cause.
It was that Lieut.-Gov. Cox of that State could
not be trusted .for Johnson’s purposes. There is
to-day a standing army in Maryland, an organ
ized militia force, such-Jhs no ether Spite in the
Union hap, officered mainly by returned rebels.
When the time comes wliieii he looks for, under
some pretence Johnson may declare Mary
land and the District of Columbia under
martial law, and call upon Governor .Swann
to bring forth bis ’militia. There is
nothing thnt will deter Johnson from hie pur
pose, except when the issue comes that his cour
age may fail. I make this spitemcnt that the
American 'people may know the danger that
threatens their peace and safety. If Peunsvlva
nia aud New fork give Dcm’ociatic majorities
in the coming elections it will embolden him to
carry out his purpose; and I hope that you. the
people of 1 Ohio, will he v&m.cd in'time, and so
east your v'ohis as to it-bukc and prevent the mad.
designs of this bad man who is now acting Presi
dent of the United States. But. gentlemen,
let me say to you that whenever Johnson
attempts force, and orders any soldiers
he may have under his command to
resist the authority of Congress, his doom is
sealed. The fate from which he hup preserved
the traitor Jefferson Davis will then be meted out
to him; aye, when that time comes, f.nn.uun men
from Pennsylvania; New York and Ohio will fly
to arms and tramp the soil of Maryland to reac-u
the beleaguered capital and rescue it from the
hands of rebels and traitors. In conclusion, let
me say to you, who have borne the tlag hemre
the enemy, do your duty in the coming elections i
—vote for those men who by their rebord have
fliown themselves to be your friends, and the
friends of the Government.’ Bally as one man to
the standard ofjpstfee and liberty, and that llag
will yet iloat over a united and happy land.
Satl tetter front Itcrscliel V. .lolinson.
Ex-Govemor Johnson writes to a political
friend in Michigan:
“The future darkness is scarcely relieved bv a
-single ray of hope. And it seems that we have not
reached the ‘lowest deep’ ot our Woe. The ruling
powers seem bent upon our still greater humilia
tion. The theme is one on which it, is too painful
to dwell. Keasou seems to have surrendered the
sceptre of statesmanship to blind aud vindictive
passiop. What is to betheresuit,Godonlv knows,
and He only can rescue the couutry from the
worst fate that ever fell upon a once free, pros
perous and happy people. Perhaps you raav be,
in some degree, interested in what is’personal to
myself. As you perhaps know. I resisted seces
sion as loug’as it.was an open question. But
whenmvBtate resolved upou it. I cast mv lot
with the fortunes of my people, feeling confident
that we should ‘reap the whirlwind.' I have
nut been disappointed; and. though I never
c-hi-rished an emotion of hostility to the
Constitution, or the Union of our fore
fathers under it—though 1 have spent a quarter
of a century in tryinsfto uphold both—vef now
I find myself,- at the end of such a carec-, dis
franchised and assigned to a position, in respect
to political and' civil rights, inferior to that of,
my former slaves. My home is in the track of
Sherman's march. His army destroyed nearl.v
everything I possessed, including my private
papers and title deeds, aud reduced me from
comfort to poverty’, if I were young, aud could
l e let alone, I might rally ‘from mv pros
tration; but at. my time of life, in view of pres- ]
cut surroundiugs, and the darkness that cur
tains the future, I scarcely hope to he able to
iced and clothe my family". I say these things in I
no spirit of unmanly repining. Poverty is a
misfortune: hut I Would welcome it, if. by the
-aerliee, I could bring hack to life the liberties ;
of rny country and the glories of tile old Union.
