WKIGHT, 63i EVENING BULLETIN, Saturday* February 8,1868. A. JOHNSON SP£AKS A PIECE. If Mr. Johnson’ehands and head have not forggtten they cunning, it is very evident that Ids tongtie has. Mr. Thornton, the new British Minister, has been'lcept waiting for several days, while Mr. Johnson has been closeted with this Cabinet, concocting the piece which he was to speak on n the reception of Mr. Thomton. It was "omi nously intimated that the President was pre paring a crusher for England On the Alabama question, and that, as the mighty issues of peace oir war were .to hang upon tbSPExec utive utterances, it was necessary to prepare the eventfUl speech with extraordinary care. The Cabinet was convened, the Rev. P. V. Nasbyiwas summoned by telegraph from jn . . NT 'T*- 3_ '.watnAil Anil cojueunt AXVU&UO, «uu, mwn OBU protracted consultation, the important docu ment was completed and y esterday Mr. John son spoke his pieoe. The reporters were ex dnded from the presence lest some enthusi astic scribe, carried away by Mr. Johnsofi’s gushing eloquence, might fail to convey to tht public the precise language- of the Chief Magistrate, and perhaps embroil two great nations in war, by a misplaced comma or a mistaken word. Mr. Thornton entered the au gust presence of His Excellency, and, with far less trepidation than mighthave been expected from a “plain Mr. Thornton” standing for the firsttime before the redoubtable Johnson, made his bow gracefully and said a few Kief words of courtesy, expressing his thanks for the treatment of his predecessor and his hope that he should have a pleasant time of it at the American Court. As Mr. Thornton does not belong to the nobility,Ms speech was easy and, with one or two exceptions, gram matical. He said “subsist,” when he meant to say “exist,” and he had the bad taste to remind the President that there were “dis tinguished statesmen” in the Legislature as well as in bis Cabinet, a fact i wMch Mr. Johnson is disposed to ignore and deny. Haying said his say, Mr. Thornton braced himself, for the President’s reply. He had been prepared for one of those startling flights of the American eagle, which Bobinson of Brooklyn so happily illustrates in Congress, and he was ready to demand his passport and telegraph, to the Home Office to prepare for war on the instant. With, what a sense of relief must Mr. Thornton have drawn his breath when the President had spoken his piece I “JFarturiunt monies; nasoitifr ridiculus mus!” Hr. Johnson was com plimentary to Queen Victoria, whom the people of America love beyond all other sov ereigns. Bir Frederick Bruce enjoyed the respect and esteem of this government, .ac tually without disobeying his orders or disre garding British interests, a fact which seems to have puzzled Mr. Johnson a good deal, probably because Sir Frederick was so unlike himself in these respects. Thus far the Pre sident’s piece ,had been simply complimen tary, hut now it became diplomatic. Now came the sentence which was the concen trated essence of the brains of Johnson, Sew ard, Welleß, McCulloch, Browning, Randall and Stanhery. Here it is in full: ‘•ln regard to the political relations of the United States and Great Britain only one thing seems to be necessary, which Is that the states men and people of the two countries may con stantly and carefully study and conform their measures to the political logic which in every region where the English language Is spoken so distinctly manifests itself in the increasing love of constitutional freedom, and the rapid march of common, irresistible and Indivisible civiliza tion-” It is well for the country that Mr. Johnson took time over this sentence. Had he at tempted to speak it suddenly the - conse quences might have been very serious. Even as it is, the diplomacy, and the statesmanship of the two countries will stop short and take a long look before they leap into Mr. Johnson’s, new method of settling the Alabama claims. The method is elaborate, as might have boen —expected. The two nations areto commence a course of constant and careful study. That being accomplished, they are to conform their measures to the political logic, which manifests itself id an increasing love *of con stitutional freedom and the rapid march of common, irresistible and indivisible civiliza tion! There you have it, and the Alabama clums are satisfactorily settled. Mr. Dickens haßa neat way of interpolating original matter into his readings, and it would be worth two prices of admission to hear him introduce this Johnsonian flight into Sergeant Buzfuz’s speech to the jury. He could do it beautifully. There is sueh a climax in that “common, irresistible and in-di-vi-si-ble cl yfirW-zation /” Poor Mr. Thornton! How lie must have wondered what it was all about! Mow he must have scratched Ms diplomatic bead as he wended his way back to the British embassy, pondering over this new doctrine of an indivisible civilization in its aelations to the Alabama claims! How the wily old .Premier must have chuckled •yer hiß new-coined phrase with whieh be bad confounded the , wisdom •f British diplomacy! Cyrus marching into Babylon through the bed of the Euphrates could sot have astonished Belshazzar more ««»»did Be ward when he made this sudden assault - upon the unsuspecting Britisher through the unheard-of channel of an indivisi ble civilization. This nehr Johuson-Beward bohcy will doubtießs te jnade,the subjest of • Congressional inyestlgadon,and the country will eventually be enlightened as to the bidden import of this most absurd of . all absurd-pieces of Executive elofluejice. . Jtr.;Af^ire,ofthiB city, has'introduced in the figawlafflhtßie a bill which te^desijjnied |iD now ■ bcffoi^thei yoßk3#»lic*oya»ititetfee control oftheOity Connells j but Hr. Affaire's bill is designed to tesue ihe purity of the water between Flat sock and Norristown. It provides against fea throwing into the river of “any carrion or carcaaelof any dead horse or other animal, j or any excrement or filth from any slaughter honfle, vault, well, slnE, culvert, privy, or . necesßaryj any offal, or putrid, or noxious matter from any dye-house, still-house, tan yard, manufactory, or mill; any refuse from any coal-oil refinery, gas works, or any other noxlonß matter or liquid whatever, calculated to render the water of said river im pure.” It is very important tha' the water of the Schuylkill should be kept pure while we have to depend upon it for oui supplies of the nieediUl element; but the fact is beginning to loom up moßt ’formidably that the sources of water supply which, were adequate for a city of a hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants, half a century ago, and which are barely sufficient for the Phila delphia of 1868 with its 800,000 population, will be out of the question with the coming Philadelphia which will have the Schuylkill running-through its centre, like the Thames ■ or the Seine in London and Paris. It is emi-. nently proper to throw all possible safeguards about the purity of the Schuylkill water; but their practicability is another question, with a swarming, population which is constantly growing more dense: scattered along the' banks of the river. The obtaining of a**more copious supply of water and the securing of more certain purity are problems that must be splved in the not far distant future, and next£o the object which Mr. Adaire has in , view; it is of paramount importance. The other day a Copperhead Congressman from Ohio, who, with genuine Democratic consistency, was anxious to make out a strong case against the influence of freedom and free institutions, talked about the “free niggers” who were “crowded into the tenement houses" of Philadelphia. This speech, which came of ignorance and bitter prejudice, was answered by Judge Kelley, who informed the Ohio Copperhead that Philadelphia, with its eight hundred thousand inhabitants, did not contain a single tenement-house within all its wide borders. The honorable gentleman wfent still further and declared that he would present Philadelphia as the best example this world affords of the benefit to the whole com munity of fair wages for honest labor. In no other community on this side of the Atlantic or the other are there so many fami lies who dwell upon land and sleep beneath a roof that is owned by them. It is a promi nent characteristic of the city that the labor ing people own their homes, and that in their little houses are to be found what are called “all the modem conveniences”—gas, bath, hot and cold water, &c. Judge Kelley told only the simple truth, in his vindication of Philadelphia, although his speech necessarily smacks somewhat of the auctioneer’s details of desirable bits of property. New York is distinguished for its tenement houses and for crowding into the smallest possible com pass the largest possible share ot human misery. Philadelphia, upon the other hand, stands foremoßt among great cities for thrift and comfort Western Copperheads, in their anxiety to make out a case against the cause of freedom, stupidly rank us along with New York with its 600,000 tenement house popu lation and Its 61,000 Democratic majority. 2 Mr. Johnson is not so utterty. irrepressible after all, as he is generally supposed to be. Upon one point least, he shows signs of giving way. He is growing tired of writing vetoes. He worked away at that profitless business last year in a way thfct showed that he en joyed it, hut satiety is apt to follow upon free indulgence, and the Executive appetite be gins to pall, as Congress offers fresh oppor tunities for the-exercise of the vetoing power. Congress and the country care so little for -Mr. Johnson’s vetoes, now that their novelty has worn off, that they no longer pay, and the disgusted President now lets bills go by default and pass into laws under the ten days limitation, be cause he confesses that it is of no use to write veto messages to such an obdurate body as the Fortieth Congress. It is pleasant to see Mr. Johnson’s obstinacy giving way, if it is only at a single point. Even he ought not to be considered utterly reprobate and beyond the pale of political salvation, and who knows but that he may even yet repent of hia multi tudeofsins and return to those paths of rectitude in which he walked for a little ■while? The signs in his* favor are not -over-numerous or over-strong, but charity hopeth all JhiDgs, and his abandonment of his cross-grained, abusive}] and mischievous veto messages is at least a straw in his favor, and he should have the benefit of it. The Chief Engineer of the Gas Trust gives public notice that on and after the first of March the price of gas will be reduced to $2 40 net, per thousand feet. This will be an important saving. Gas has become an article of prime necessity, and if the-field was open for competition there is no doubt that its cost would be greatly reduced from the price just fixed by the Gas Trust. Iu Pitts burgh the lighting medium is furnished to the citizens at a much lower figure than is de manded of the people of Philadelphia. The convenience of supplies of bituminous coal, of course, has much to do with this result; but the difference in the cost of gas between Phil adelphia and Pittsburgh is still entirely out of proportion to the coßt of tr ansportation of gas-yielding coaL “The Odd-Fellcwy’s Record” is the title of a handsome weekly paper, the first number of which has just appeared. It is published at 711 Sansom street, at the low price of one dollar a year, Mr. Frank Clinton being the editor and publisher. Vast as is the member ship of the useful order of Odd Fellows in Pennsylvania, this is the Only paperdevoted to their interests in the State. The first number is well filled, and the new enter prise is deserving ol the most liberal encour agement. ' 1 .

It is of the utmost importance that theise elections should be attended by all Re publicans who desire to select . good men to represent them in these most important Conventions. The substantial ( citizens of Philadelphia ehonldtake these pri- j mary elections fit hand, and now that the regis tering system is enforced there is not the old cer tainty that this class of the community will be overridden by irresponsible votes brought in to overpowe’rtheir influence..

(From the G'hlc«toJOunul of Feb. SI One of the most mysterious; that ever fell to our lot to record' in our city Intelligence occurred yesterday afternoon. About three o’clock yesterday afternoon the lifeless body of a boy only fifteen years of agej and whose name is Charles Gordon, was fonnd, shot-pierced, in a packing room of Adams, Blackner & Lyon's bindery and publishing house, No. 165 Randolph street A bullet hole appeared directly over the deceased’s heart, and plaialy showed;, from what effect death had ensued, but the caube of the ef fect was not peveaied. Charles Gordon slas employed as an apprentice in the bindery connected with the establishment named.’ His place of work was on the, fourth floor. .The packing room,of the establishment is the rear room on the .floor underneath'the bindery- Adjoining this apartment Is a, sort of general store-room, and next to this is asleeping ' \ apartment and drceeing-room, attached to the front office. This closet room, bat one removed from ifac packing room, at the time of the tragedy bad jnst been entered by Miss Helen Bodelson, a yonng lady employed in the office. She was wauting her hands after eating dinner, and whllethus engaged she heard the tiring of a shot, thetitpnrt proceeding, apparently, from the alley in the rear of the packing room. Miss Bodelson heard the report, but, strangely, paid no special attention to it About a quarter of an hour later she had occasion to visit the packing-room, and, npon entering the room, found Gordon lyhig, face downwards, on the floor. She thought he was asleep, and knowing that it was the hoar at which he should be at his work, proceeded to awaken him. As she was - about touching him, he moved slightly, and she heard a peculiar gargling eoaod issue from his throat. On this, she became terrified and called to the room a yonng man named Edward Carbery. When he arrived, : Gordon was still lying on his face, and at intervals the - death-rattle sound could be heard. They imagined that' he mast have fallen into a fit, and they raised him - from the floor. He was placed npon a cot hear bv, bis collar and cravat were loosened, and, as • he showed no signs of recovering, a physician was called In. Upon his arrival he discovered the pulse of the boy. to fie very low/ There was remalning’only the least perceptible tremor, and in another minute it was gone. Under the suspi eion that deceased bad fallen in a fig an attempt was made to revive the circulation of the blood. It proved useless; young Gordon was dead. The doctor opened the young lad’s vest to discover if the heart was still u action, and then found a single drop of blc,-',j|'/Shirt front. He opened the shirt* ana uuuoVered a puncture, which bad evidently been produced by a small bullet. Further examination showed that the ■weapon from which thedeaaly missile had been hurled waa held close tojhe body, for the TWt, in the vicinity of the builetrhole, is considerably scorched. The next etep was to ascertain, if. possible, at ■whose hands the deceased met his death. Search was made in every likely and. every unlikely place for the revolver or pistol .from which the shot bad been fired; ,but ft could not be found. Detectives were shmmoned to the scene, and plied their art without -any sticcess, If the weapon bad gone off accidentally in the hands of the deceased, or if the latter had shot himself it' wouldi' undoubtedly have been found near by, and it is improbable to suppose that, his companion, supposing he. had had one, could h'avti picked up the pistol and hastened away without attracting attention) having:, as he wotud. in his escape, to descend a flight of stairs,' ; Had Miss Bbdelson hdard any such noise, ehq'would naturally have connected it with the report of the pistol: The next terri ble question Is, was he murdered ? The body Was removed, lait evenlng.to the houso of Mr. William Willis, No. 142 North Wells street, at which place Coroner Wagner withhold an Inquest. The Cincinnati Poisoning Case-A Bon Poisons hit father. [From the Cincinnati Gazette, Feb. 6.J We mentioned yesterday morning the death"of the youngest child, in the family of Edward Boyle (Incorrectly given Doyle), all of whom, five In number, except a son thirty years, old, were poisoned ,a week ago last Sunday. We give below the testimony of the father, taken Tuesday eve ning:, on what he* supposed would be hie dying bed; air o, the tcstlnionyof one or two physicians: Edward Boyle, the father, testified, saying; I have suspicions.

The Cleveland papers of Thursday give long accounted the examination of Mrs. Barah W. Victor, in that city, on'the charge of poisoning her brother, Wm. Parquet, with arsenic, about a year ago. The body Was exhumed one day last week, an examination made by Prof. Cassels and Dr. Thayer. These gentlemen fonnd large quan tiles of white arsenic in the body—the stomach, the spine, the liver, the .lungs, <£c„ showing the presence or the Races of it. The body was re markably well preserved fay the arsenic, the lungs in particular being so perfect that they could be inflated. The circumstances of the case the Leader gives as follows: On the evening of, Saturday, the 26th day of January,.lB67, William, then living with his sis ter Borah, was taken unwell. He complained of suffering Considerable pain dnring the.'twd fol lowing days. On Monday he seemed somewhat better and walked outdaring tbeafternoon. He returned about tea time, and remarked soon afterward that he would go into the pantry, take a slight lunch and go to; bed. On his way homo he had stopped at the house of the, other slater, Mrs. Gray; a short distance from his own house. It appeare from the evidence of the ac cueea before tne CurOnuirß jury, Uiat Wuu£ there he hod taken from pocket a small pie, which he said be had bought at a confectionery store. It seems that , Mrs. Gray wen t home, with him, and the pie wae, plsced in the pantry,, although whether It first passed through Sarah’s hands doeS not appear.*. When William went into the pantry he ate this pie and shortly afterwards re tired About midnight he was taken suddenly ill, and it w«b found necessary to call a physi cian. : He lived until the following Monday morning, suffering from accom panied by vomiting and purging. He died on the night of Monday, February 4th, and was buried on the 6 th—one year ago. yesterday. After his death &po*t mortem examination was proposed to the sister—now under arrest—but she strenuously opposed it. She would not give her consent, nnder any considerations, and the matter was dropped for the time. A few Weeks alter his death, Sarah received from Mr. C. C. Carleton, die agent, the fall amount of the in surance upon her brother's life, $2,200, and also a small amount, the proceeds of thewilL A difficulty arose soon after between the sisters on .account of this unequal disposition of his pro perty. Some four months ago Mrs. Gray went to the Probate Judge, to ascertain regarding the settlement of the estate. Her investigations'were unsatisfactory, and soon after this time she openly 'charged her sister Barah with having poisoned tbeir brother for the purpose of obtaining the in surance. This was of course indignantly denied, and led to an open rapture between them. As the prisoner stated in her evidence, she refused to acknowledge Mrs. Gray as her sister, after she had charged her with such a terrible crime, * About this time Sarah went to the Sheriff, and Staled that her sister bad accused her of murder ing her brother, and desired an investigation of the matter, as it was being talked of among the neighbors. More recently she has visited Prose eating Attorney Jones, with the same request. Since then, Sheriff Nicola,' Deputy Sheriff Ridg way, Detective Huncle have been quietly en gaged in working np the case, and at length reached a point where they deemed it advisable to arrest Barah and have the body examined. Regarding her - name, the accused says that several years ago she married a man named Chas. Newton Smith, but was divorced from him soon after. She then assumed the name of Victor for reasons best known to herself. She stated to the jury that that was not her name. She ’ testified that she kept poison in the house, both arsenic and conceive sublimate. When asked for what purpose she kept them, she said that she pro cured the former to’ kill rats, and the latter to make a cosmetic Wash- She said thearsenic was kept in a paper, under the carpet. The investigation was continued fall six o’clock last evening, without the evidence of the prisoner being finished, when the jury adjourned to this morning. The woman was taken tojailand locked up for safe keeping. She manifests considerable feeling! and especially when entering the jail was mneb affected,at the disgrace of being thrust into a cell os a felon. The case is involved in Beemtngly inexplicable mystciy. While it is evident that a murder was committed, it is a matter of, great doubt whether the perpetrator of the foul crime will ever be known.

The general tendency of the market is upwards, and its advance is checked only by tbe muddle in Krie, which is attributed to the operations oi the speculative director. Erie was told at 74 at the first regular board, but after wards was pressed down on tbe report that Mr. Drew had sold 5,000 to 10,000 shares, calls on Erie at 76, and the buyers of the calls had sold against them, and crowded the market down. Afterwards Erie advanced and be came strong, continuing so to the close. New York Cen tral is stropg, and shews symptoms of advancing con siderably higher. , [From to-day’s Tribune.,! Senator Sherman’s funding hill is warmly approved by brokers and bankers who see in it Urge Mumps of fat” in the form of commissions for conversions. Apart from thU, the remodeled bill has little merit. The right to pay the proposed 5 per cents offin tea yean is a fatal objection to the plsn, long ago coneeded ny all sensible financiers. What la required 1» a bond at 5 per cent, pay able after fifty years Into this the short 6 percents would flow rapidly, and enough ox them could be sold to enable the Treasury to call in tbe old 5-2Qs of 1663 for payment or conversion iDto the long S per cents at an early day. The proposition .to legalise the contracts payable in goVl commends itself 'to the good sense of everybody. At present, merchants who wish to use as money eomrthlng of recognized value the'world over are stopped by the courts, which have absurdly held that an irredeemable dae bill la as good as coined gold. Tbe passage of such a law would invade no existing contract, and would make traders more secure in the future. Tbe financial propositions broached at Washington - have sfimnlated-a further-advance.in. gold, and- givem. new activity to specalatlens in stocks. The conviction is steadily growing that In some form or otheranew issue of currency is to be made, or more freedom given to the National Banking scheme, which will answer the same purpose, so Far as abundance of money for spec ulative purposes Is concerned. Not only does this idea of higher prices, based upon greater abund ance of currency, prevail in speculative circles, but has commenced to have its effect upon far-sighted merchants, one of whom has recently given evidence of his faith by clearing the market of cotton goods to an extent which has imparted new strength to S rices, and secured to him a handsome profit. Reduc ion in the volume of tho currency and redemption in gold for that left outstanding »eems to have f«w Mends inCongrcrt, while the expansion policy appears ablp to caity any project, no matter how wild or unsafe.

Stillson, thfe Washington correspondent of the New York World, and one or two members of Grant’s staff. An effort will bo made by the Committee to get Gen. Grant before them this afternoon. He is regarded as tho most impor tant . witness, and it is understood that he has facts in his possession other than those publicly stated in his letter to the President, which, If sworn to, will impel the Committee to report in favor of impeaching Mr. Johnson. It may be stated on the anthorlty of a prominent member of the Committee that a majority of them will, proceed with great caution in the whole matter, and should they succeed in making. ont a good case against the President, there ia not £he slightest doubt bnt that he will be impeached.

If it doeßsee the light It will not be in the shape originally settled upon by Mr. Johnson and hla friends.

In view of the action of 'the Reconstruction Com mittee, which was unexpected by Mr. Johnson, his friends have advised him to withhold the. letter, from the. public.: Another difficulty,, it is stated, is, that some of the mem bers of the Cabinet whom the President had counted on to indorse his state ments about General Grant now re fuse to dolt, alleging that Mr. Johnson has made them too strong. It Is believed, however, that the real cause of the refusal of the President to publish the letter is the investigation entered upon by the Reconstruction Committee. i Fire in mains. Lewiston, Feb.
