Henby Seybekt, of Philadelphia, whose body was cremated in the Le Morne furnace, at Washington, ra-, last week, left his entire estate valued at $1,250,000, to various char itable institutions of the Quaker city. Ex-Gov. Hoyt has determined to move to Philadelphia and devote himself to the practice of the law, which is a wise thing for the ex Governor to do, as he committed o litical harri-kari, when he deserted to the Independent camp last fall. The story being circulated of an attempt to assassinate Mr. Blaine, is discredited by that gentleman. It is evidencthat with the close of Con gress, news at Washington is a scarce commodity, and hence the enter prising reporter is compelled to draw on his imagination. Di king the last political campaign, the public ear was filled with Dem ocratic cries against the heavy taxa tion imposed on the people and the industries of the country, and with unceasing demands for relief from these "Republican taxes." Yet, when the Tariff and tax bill, which abol ishes $75,000,000 of these taxes was on its passage, but twenty Demo crats in the House, and one in the Senate, recorded themselves in' favor f the measure. Sam Randall, the creat Tariff straddler of this State, who did ev erything in his power to obstruct the framing of the new Tariff bill, .'and then voted for it on its final passage, is receiving many left hand ed compliments.

McClure has since refused to furnish a list of the prom; 1 ised witnesses, because, as he alleg es, hi 'attorney I advises against it, for fear it will benefit Delaney in a suit he threatens to bring for libel; and thus the investigating commit tee is balked in its attempt to arrive at the truth. . To an unprejudiced mind, it looks like a most monstrous outrage that, a public official should be openly branded as a "public thief," and his accuser be permitted to shield him self from public exposure of the false ness of his charge, by alleging that he has the evidence in his possession but does not choose, for personal reasons, to furnish them. It puts the accused in the position of being com pelled to bring an expensive action to vindicate his character, because this editor does not please to fur nish the evidence, which he admits he does not have of his own knowl edge, before a committee created to investigate the matter There is a radical wrong here which need re formation. The stagnation of business, forced by the Tariff agitation, is cow grad ually giving way to a more cheerful feeling, and manufacturers are tak ing steps to adjust their trade to the requirements of the new tariff and internal tax laws. A few foolifh Democratic politicians Carlisle, Morrison, Tucker and others have announced their purpose to open up the whole subject of tariff revision again next winter, and thus keep the business interest of the country in a stale of uncertainty until after the next Presidential election, but it is thought that better counsels will prevail, as the wisv men of that party well know that, if this course is persisted in, it will require a swarm of affidavits after the election to prove that such an organization as the Democratic party ever exist ed.

Senator Cameron's Health. Washington, March 7. Senator Cameron '8 health is much more se riouslr impaired than is generally supposed, and hi condition is re garded by many as really critical, but not at all hopeless. He has been very much prostrated most of the winter by the return of fistula in an aggravated form, and the habit ual use of opiates necessary to ena ble him to obtain sleep under the constant and severe pain has shat tered his nervous system and gener ally prostrated him mentally and physically, lie sdouia nave naa a Rim-ieal o Deration performed some time ago, but it would have confia- ed him to bis room for weeks, ana he was unwilling to be' absolutely deprived of the power to appear in the Senate when the Tariff was to be considered. His delay in submit ting to the surgical operation daily increased the violence of his malady and he wus seldom able to appear in the Senate and then not fit for Earticipatiou in its deliberations, is fretful controversy with Van Wyckwasthe result ef his extreme nervous irritability, and it is not generally known that he fainted away into entire insensibility soon after. ' Since the adjournment of Congress Senator Cameron has not been well enough to 6tand the intended surgi cal operation, and some apprehen sions are felt that he may not, with his present exhausting disease, be come strong enough to submit to the scalpeL The operation will be a very severe and delicate one, and must greatly prostrate him, and in his present weakened condition, it is feared he would not survive it He ia in the hands of the most experi enced medical experts, and it is now hoped that he can be rallied enough to submit to the operation without risk to his life. It is believed that if he can be raliied enough to undergo the operation without fatal shock to his system, he will speedily regain his strength and health. He is not suffering from any organic disease. On the contrary, his malady is pure ly local, gnatly aggravated by neg lect and the necessary use of opiates and if he can be made to come safely out of the hands of the surgeons, there is no apparent reason why he should not fully regain his usual health and vigor. Bold Attempt at Train Robbing. Mulberry, March S. An attempt to rob a train was made near this place last night, and two lives were lost, one that of an unresisting con ductor and the other that of a brake man. As the passenger train of the Little Kock and iort bmith road was neariug Mulberry it was "brought to a stand still to take in some wood, and four men entered the rear car. No special attention was paid to the newcomers until the conductor, Jno. Caine, approached one of them to collect the fare. 1 wo of the strangers were men of middle age, while their confederates were mere boys in ap pearance, the oldest not being over seventeen. . ' When the conductor made a de mand for the fare the elder of the two youths drew his pistol, and, pointing it at the conductor's head, ordered him to stop the train, which had pulled out from the spot where the wood pile stood. With trembling hands the conductor obeyed the highwayman, and reached toward the bell rope. The robber held his pistol leveled at the conductor's head, and in the nervousness created by his inexperience, pressed the trigger and sent a ball through the skull of the conductor, who fell to the floor, unconscious and dying. Coldfusion and panic ensued, the robbers discharging their weapons, and endeavoring to frighten passen gers by their screams and yells. An effort was made to reach the engineer. Brakeman Milton Lester, who was attracted by the shooting to the spot where the conductor fell received a ball through the head, and he died soon afterwards. The engineer hearing the shouts expect ed that a robbery was being com mitted, and after having partially responded to the conductor's notice, who, in his fail, had pulled the bell rope and ordered the train to stop, he threw open the throttle valve and started for the station at a rapid speed. One of the robbers tried to reach the locomotive by climDing upon it from the rear, but the engineer open ed fire upon the man and prevented his approach. Seeing that they were being carried rapidly into town, tnd that further efforts to accomplish their purpose would lead them into captivity, the robbers jumped from the cars and disappeared. . When Mulberry u reached pos ses were organized to start in pur suit of the' robbers and murderers, and the assistant superintendent of tb road at Van Buren offered a re ward of $5,000 for the apprehension of any or all of the offenders and the County of Crawford, in which the crime was perpetrated, added $1,000 more.

The river has risen one and a half inches here te-day. The Protection levee in front of the Elleslie has qiven away and the water rushed through the gap in the main levee. Duncan's quarters are now under water. A sufficient force is at work stopping up the gap and not much damage is apprehended. , Memphis, March 7.
