A serious difficulty has taken place between
the President and Senate, with regard to GER
tain military nominations made by the former to
the latter. Both parties insist on their eonstruc-
ton Of the act of Congress, which are materially
different. The President relies in part for his
justification, in passage found in the rules and
regulations of the army, which passage is not
found in the act of Congress that establishes those
rules and regulations. This the Senatorial COM
mittee denominate an Interpolation. The chair
man of the military committee in the House of
Representatives proclaimed it a forgery. Who
was the author of this Interpolation, or this for
gerry, remains as yet unknown-it is serious
charge against some body.

firnlation of this opinion, he cites another
instance of similar impressions. discovered
in 1919, in the town, OF Hercuaneum, JET

the rock if impressed when soft enough to

SHOCKING MURDER.

1t was with mingled sensations OF re-
gret and adherence, that we learned the
following particulars OF the assassination OF
MIR. Cornelius Mccoy, respectable citi-
zen of Norfolk county, residing al North
West River Bridge. He was shol by
some unknown hand, while riding along
the cadsewsy at Pokelty. (Which divides
the counties of Norfolk and Princess An
ne, ) about three o'clock in the afternoon
OF Tuesday last, on his way home from
Mr.. John Sykes. A quarter OF an hour
after the report of the gun had been heard,
bis horse y gig were met continuing home
ward, by couple of lads IN cart, who
state that the corpse OF the deceased was
lying IN the foot of the gig, and it appear
ed that be had both strength and pre-
sence of mind after receiving the wound,
TO lay himself in secure and easy posi-
ton. and TO place the cushions under HIM.
He was probably but a few steps from the
assassin when the bloody deed was done,
and the gun appears to have been charged
with three ounce balls, besides number
of slugs. A ball struck The right side OF
the deceased Just above the heart, passed
through his BODY and the opposite side OF
the gig; another ball grazed his back,
slug passed through his hat and grazed
his head, and third ball struck spoke OF
OF one OF the wheels OF gig and shlvered 1t
to pieces. No evidence tending to dis
covery of the perpe:rator of this tout and
alrocious act was gwen at the inquest; out
it is supposed to have been committed by
some OF The runaway banditti who intest
that neighborbood Mr.. Mccoy has lett
an amiabIe wife and one child TO mourn
his cruel and untimely end.

HEALTH OF NEW ORLEANS,
The following Reports" by the Board
of Health, are given OF the lnterments that
took place in New Orleans:
On the 18th and 29th September-49
lnlerments.
On the Goth September-2l Internents,
On the LIST October-35 lnterments.
On the Cd October-3O interments.
On the Sd October-41 lnterments.
On the 4th October-23 lnerments.
Total from the 28th September to the
4th October, inclusive, 1879; averaging a.
bout 80 deaths each day.
The above is melancholy picture /,
& we cannot open n Orleans paperwlh-
ont mourntul sensation. Its columns are
filed with muster-rolls of the dead, and
the record is too full to suffer any other no.
tice, in many instances, than the mere
name and age of the victim to the over
wheimng epidemic which afflicts that CT
tai life, OF which name is sufficiently ex-
pressive, but not enough for the warm bo-
som Of friendship, or the thrill OF tender
affection
Amidst this general calamity, the vir-
tues OF humanity bloom in all their sweet
ness-the band oil charity, and the smile
of benevolencs are extended to the dis
tressed. The Mayor ofNew Orleans, au-
thorised by resolution oil their City Coon.
Gil, has formed 10 each OF the districts OF
the city, BoARD OF BENEyoLENCE. The
following is his address:
The MAYOR ofWew Orleans to his Fello1
Citizens.
GENTLENEN-Measur OF human pru-
dence could not prevent this year the de-
leteTious effects OF an extraordinary sea-
son. Death is within our walls; mourn
ing is generally IN the city f; desolalon IN
most families and affection in all good
hearts. Your Magistrate in this moment
of general distress, appeals TO you, Fellow
Citizens, not because their zeal and their
sollcitude are unequal to the crisis but
because the means OF suCcor at their dispo
sal are no longer sufficient for the wants OF
the unfortunate. In vain has saiutary
terror removed from US considerable
number OF strangers, and persons not yet
accIimaed In vain has provident ad-
ministgation by a9ordng the means Of
fight to others, endeavofed TO deprive the
epidemic of its element and food. The
number of poor persons who yet remain
exposed prey to contagion, render en-
tirely unequal the resources placed at the
disposal OF the municipal officers. Area
dy the applications of your Magistrates
have been made 10 the Corporation, and
societies established in the city, and they
are anxious to concur with them for the
relief and consolation of suffering humanl-
ty-but in circumstances SO grave and i'm
perious, public benegolence is much less
| efficacious and less powerful than private
| charity which, like the sentiment that
forms its source is an exhaustless fund i
is the thorough conviction of that truth
which has determined the council OF your
city to have recourse TO, and in the name
OF the INDECENT sick, by resolution it ha:
