It diana and Illinois to obtain from these states

Tue Uiph at the Wuite Hors*.?Since it
has become noised abroad that the President
las returned to Washington for the winter,
jet pie are flocking here from all parts of the
country, and the old time lively scenes are
again witnessed at the executive mansion. To
day tbe public rooms and halls of the mansion
were thronged with visitors, many of them
strangers, who merely called out or curiosity
some to pay their respects to the President,
while the rest, and of course the most numer
ous class, called to beg an office for themselves
or tome friend. Among the latter were noticed
;uite a number of the late employes of the
Treasury department, who were discharged
under an act of the late Congress Among the
prominent visitors who saw the President to
day were the Secretary of War, the Secretary
of the Interior, Messrs. Eaton and SheJlabar
ger, of tbe civil service commission, Judged.
C. Abrams, of Alabama, and Judge Martin
? th auditor.
The GoodWork Dofe by the Trbascry
Department ih Crcshiro the Yellow Fa
ver?In resjonse to the Treasury circular con
cerning quarantine and local health laws the
Department is receiving the warmest expree
mom of approv&l of the action or Secretary
Bristow. Dr. Robert Lebby, health officer for
the coast of South Carolina, writes Supervising
>urgeon Wood worth that"much or my success
in keeping yellow fever out of this city [ Charles,
ton may be attributed to the active co-opera
tion of the United States Treasury officers. I
have had a larger tieet of vessels from the in
fected port of Havana this season than since
the war, and Charleston, during the summer
and at present, is entirely free or all rever and
?n an unprecedented condition of health."
C. F. Moulton, esq., the mayor of Mobile, in
applying for the transfer of Dr. Justin 1U>
T-ayiie. a customs Inspector, to Mobile Point to
aid in establishing quarantine at that station,
-ays "the efficiency of my quarantine will be
greatly 1* net; ted by his presence," and the col
ltctor, in reporting his action for the
approval of the Department, expresses the
opinion that Inspector Ronayne's trans
fer will render more effectual assistance than
any other ?lan that could be adopted. The
'in.eliness of the Secretary's action is abun
dantly proven by such statements as the follow
ing in a recent application for assistance from
l mud States officials by the mayor of another
important southern port: " 1 trust this will
meat the prompt approval or the gevernmen*.
i ellow fever is now i ressing on everv hand fjr
admission to this city." At still another point
on the Gulf, where sick and disabled sailors
were formerly transferred to marine hospitals in
neighboring cities for treatment, arrangements
have been made, by telegraph, for their care at
the port itself, so as to avoid tbe possibility of
introducing contagion Into non-intec;ed cities
by their transfer. In short, nothing is being
left undone by tbe Treasury department and its
vanous otticera to prevent a repetition of the
tcmble loeeee of lire and oommerce which inev
itably rollow an epidemic; and thus rar tbe
promise is more than reaa-uring. A few weeks
yet of unremitting vigilance and active co?
make the promise an accom
plished fact.

Npn*p(i|?fr and Periodical PostiiKf,
HOW THB MW LAW REQUIRING PREPAYMENT
<">F POSTAGE OH NEWSPAPBBS AND PERIOD
ICALS 15 BULK WILL IlB CARRIED OUT.
An act of Congress, June 23, 1*74, requires
after Jan. 1,1875, the prepayment of postage
on newspapers and periodicals mailed from a
known oTice of publication or news agency ami
addressed to regula- subscribers or news agents,
and provides that such matter k to be charged
at two cents per pound if Issued weekly or
oltener, and at three cents per poun 1 if issued
lfss frequently than once a week; the mitter to
b? weighed in bulk and the postage paid with
adhesive stamps to be specially provided for the
purpose. Soon after atsuming the duties of hi*
ittice, Postmaster General Jewell delegate 1
llurd Assistant Postmaster General E. W. Ba -
ber and A. D. Hazen, chief of the stamp di
vision of the department, te proceed to New
lork lor the purpose of inquiring into the best
method ot carrying out the provisions of the ac*
ot Congress. These gentlemen, after fully In
vestigating the subject, report to the Postnias
ter (itneral, * ho hag discretionary power in the
H^ter, that in their opinion two of the three
modes ot applying the stamps pointed out bv
'he act ot Congress are impracticable. One of
the plans suggested by the act they, however, be
lieve not only practicable, but the best that can
be devised, and provides for affixing the stamps
tea "memorandum of mailing.'- They give
a form of receipt and say that the coujK>n re
ceipt book may be kept at the post-ofbee, and
when a consignment is received from a pub
lisher or news sgeut the receipt is to be tilled
out and given him upon payment of the re
quired amount of postage, the stamps being af
fixed to the stub of the receipt. They recom
mend that the stamps be cancelled by perfora
?JL * Pu"ch. insteai of oeing defaced
with ink, and that the stamps range in value
from two cents to sixty dollars, all of the de
nominations being multiples of the two and
three-cent rates. The stamps will be changed
to postmasters and accounted for the same as
other stamps. In reference to the special stamps
required, they state that while the designs have
? not been definitely determined upon thev should
be varied and distinctive and executed in the
best style, In order to prevent alterations and
counterfeits. In conclusion, they state that the
execution of the new law will require po.-tmas
ters at publication offices, or a portion of them
at jea?t, to be supplied with platform scales for
weighing large quantities of matter. The Post
master General wUl doubtless adopt the recom
mendations of the report.

A correspondent of the Sjringfleld;
Republican, writing from Brooklyn, N\ Y.,
gives the followi g in regard to the public sen
timent in the City of Churches since Tilton's
last statement;
"Like a storm breath, Mr. Tilton's last s'ate
ment passed orer our city, and made the roof
and rafters of Plymouth Church creak and
shiver. It was not a thunderbolt out of a clear
sky. lor Heaven knows that we have had a
gloom-shaded town ever since the scandal low
ered over us like a miasma; but there was a
general surprise at the statement, from the fact
that no such remarkable and powerful docu
ment, thunderous with new matter and irre
fragable proofs, were expected. It has proved
the most impressive paper of the whole contro
versy. Its effect has been twofold?first, to put
Mf: ?e?cber'e committee of investigation in a
ridiculous light, and, next, to put Mr. Beecher
himself in a situation of great seriousness. No
body stems to sympathize with thecommitte;
but everybody pities Mr. Beecher. The com
mittce, according to the general judgment
were a mere partizan bodv, determined in ad
vance to find a verdict of acquittal, and pursu
ing their plan without skill and reaching a con
clusion without justice. The author of the re
port, Mr. John Winslow, district attorney of
Kings county, ig generally considered to have
been thoroughly beaten by Mr. Tilton in the
controversy. Certainly, however much re
mains of Mr. Beecher, nothing remains of the
committee's verdict. It has been blown out of
water.
"Even Mr. Beeclier's warmest partisans feel
the committee reiort has become nothing but
whipped syllahub. The ablest men of our state
and city?such men as Judge Greenwood, Hon.
Joshua M^an Cott, the law partner of Mr.
>\inslow. United States District Attorney Ten
ney, Mr. Fletcher, and Mr. Griswold, of Ply
Ile'v'-1>r- Porter, formerly editor
ot the Christian Intelligencer, Rev. Dr. Taylor
Rev. Mr. French, and many others, who have
hitherto been noticeably reticent concerning
Mr. Beecher's guilt or Innocence, now express
their conviction that Mr. Beecher's statement
and the committee's verdict fail utterly to con
vince them of the untruth of Mr. Tilton's
charges. The New York editors who reside in
Brooklyn are all of one opinion in private.
8Sy tn Pnblic: an<l it is no
ticeable that there is rot a journalist,sub-editor
or reporter in New York and Brooklyn who is
not outspoken in his convictions of Mr
Beecher's guilt."

both arms extended, evidently intending to
throw himself in lront of the locomotive. The
engineer was horrified, fcr it was too lata to
prevent the suicida. Tbe unfortunate man ran
headlong, and jumped against tho locomotive

wife leaning over him. She gave his name as
John Kenny, and stated that just as the train
was approaching he cut his throat, and then ran
toward the track. An examination revealed

Mr. T. T. Broocks, late president of the Mer

appropriation of the bank funds. Mr. Broock's

the indictment was not good because of a mis

been summoned in a manner conformable to
the practices of the state courts of Virginia

A t-cbool ttatber In Surk. N. H., Ia:?lv oom
mitttil puicido by drowuing, unOtr the follow
ing nrcnDietaru ef. a.- related by a local p*|.er:
SLt-bad had charge of the sohooi f jr eereral
wceke. The pcholarn thought mu.-h of bar, and
till within a thort time berore her death the
kept an orderly and excellent echool. liat dar
ing the ia?t week all pccnied to be disorder and
roiifdMon in the school. The committef, Dr. A.
TLcnj|!?n and M T. Pike, wj.. having heard
of the tact, riMUd the school on Friday, an 1
roond it niocb a# alrove described, on which,
after Btbe school wtr dismiMicd, they kindly
talked with her (iriratelrrelatire to the school.
rold htr tow it seemed to them, and advised
her, a? ebe apt eared pale and nearly sick,
'{Uielly to go to tbe agent and resign ber posi
tion; or if t-be felt strong enough to g<> on witb
the scbooi and thought she cauld itnt>rove in
the particularly they mentioned, she ooaVl do so.
She said she would determine what wv? best
between that time and the bour or school the
next morning, l'bey left for their homes. She
did not return to her boarding house that night,
and her friends became alarmed. The school
bouse was locked, on looking in at tbe window
the key was seen on the tiuor. On entering they
discovered on ber deek some little articles of
value she had taken from her person aud the
following note, addressed to her si-ter:
D>ar Mary?All 1 have to say la that the curse
is fulfilled. The daughters shall die In sorrow
if not in thame before they are twenty. Ask
Albert Thompson and Thomas Pike why. Good
bjeall. l.Ai &a!ha.
Search was made tor ber body. The school
house was Mtuated on tbe bank of tbe river,
where tbe water was deep and still, and tbe
body was found near by. Before the coroner's
jury ber sister iexplalned the note bv relating
that they were tbe children of Amos K Cross,
of Water ford. Me., aud that in consequence of
some difficulty between them, her father sepa
rated from bis first wife, and was again marriod,
on which bis mother, taking sides agaiust him,
pronounoed with dreadful emphasis this curse
upon ber son's children: "Ifis daughters shall
die in sorrow. If not in stianie, before they are
twenty, and tbe sons shall be cut off in infancy."
She said tbat for some time l.auraina had con
stantly dwelt upon tbe subject of the curse, and
the more so, recently, as she was nearing tbe
ace of twenty, and sbe bad done ami said things
Which had caused ber to tbink ber sister medi
tated >uicide. And ber room-mate testitied tbat
only a week before she had spoken of It to ber,
and alluded to tbe fact tUat she was over nine
teen years of age, and if the curse was fulfilled
she had but a short time longer to live. The
fact tbat some or ber brothers <1 led in infancy
tended to strengthen tbe superstition s> that in
sanity and depth were the consequence.

The recent tragedy in the Prince's club, Man
chester. Kngiand, caused intense excitement tor
a time,both the victim and bis murderer having
been highly resi-ected Mr. Alexander Mcl/ean,
a young merchant, went to his club and re
stored to tbe committee-room for the purpose of
writing private letters. Previous to his arrival.
Mr. 1 bornas Barge, also a young merchant, had
called at the club, and in a somewhat excited
manner asked tbe porter whether Mr. Mcl>ean
was In. Mr. Mcl^ean had not been i tng in the
club before Mr. Barge returned, and being In
formed that the gentleman he had asked tor was
In, went up stairs. Tbe i-orter saw him enter
the writing room and shake hands with McLean
but scarcely had he got to the bottom of the
stain when he heard three pistol shots in rapid
-uccesslon. On rushing back to the room be saw
the yonng men lying on the floor, and blood
streaming from their beads. Before the doctor
arrived both Barge and McLean were (toad. An
officer made Immediate investigation, bat bo
papers were found on tbe deoeaeed which threw
any light on tbe occurrence. Prom tbe position*
of tbe wounds, and the fact tbat a eta t>arreted
revolver was found In the hand of Mr- Barge, It
wag evident that he bad shot Mr. McLean and
then destroyed himself. At the inquest Jealous
ly was thought to have been the occasion of
tbe murder, but it was subsequently ascertained
that the murderer was lneane. Mr. Baigs had
been quite recently married, and was a member
of one of the oldest mercantile firms in Man
