to the report, proposing an amendment OF
the Constitution TO qualify the Veto power
so as to require majority only, instead OF
two-thirds, of the votes of the House to
repass any bill returned with objections by
the President, being separately acted upon,
the vote upon it was yeas 90, nays 90
majority voting in favor of the principle.
The resolution, however, of course failed,
two thirds vote being required to pass
any proposed amendment of the Consti-
tuition.
No day has as yet been fixed upon for
the adjournment of Congress. nor is it def
initely understood what course the majority
will pursue; whether they will attempt to
pass revenue bill or not. 1t has been in
timated on one side that Congress would
adjourn without passing any revenue bill
and on the other that if they did, the
President would convene Congress again at
an early day. The Intelligencer abiding
to the subject says "some bill to supply the
present glaring deficiencies in the revenue
system may yet pass Congress"

The following six paragraphs we wish
specially to recommend to some six or
eight particular friends" who frequently
bother us. We wish them read-and not
only read, but recollected:
1. Never inquire thou Of the editor for the
news, for behold it is his duty at the appointed
time to give it unto thee without asking.
2. When thou dost write for the paper, never
say unto him, "What thinkest thou Of my piece?
for it may be the truth will offend thee.
8. Ii is not fit that thou should'st ask him who
is the author Of any article, for his duty requi'
reth him to keep it to himself
4. When thou dost enter a printing office,
have care to myself that thou dost not touch a
type, for thou mayest cause the printer much
trouble.
f. S. Look thou not at the copy which is in the
compositors hands, for it's not meet in the eye;
Of the printer.
6. Neither examine thou the proof.sh eet--fol
it is not ready 10 meet thine eye, and thou may
est not understand it.

TThe Paris Sentinel man we see is
again meddling with other peoples business.
He seems to be sorely grieved because we
did not publish short sketch of his life,
prepared by himself. We declined pub
fishing it for several reasons. the first OF
which was that it was not complete, and
untrue what there was of it; and secondly,
most of our readers knew quite enough
about him without troubling them further
on the subject. But if he still insists on
our publishing his life, and will write it out
in as condensed manner as possible, and
be particular as to noticing all the "princi'
pie events of his life," we will crafty him.
He must be particular, however, to state
whether he stood up to his hard-money
notions in settling for his washing, and
whether he ever got his other boot or not

From The 81. Louis Nep Era, Aug. 81.
BRUTAL MURDER--ROBBERY.

Last night, about eleven o'clock, Maj. GA.
BRiEL FLOYD, residing some three miles from
this city, was alarmed by noises similar to the
tread OF cattle around the house, but after care
fully watching from window, he discovered in
the light OF the moon the shadow OF man
With a double barrelled fowling piece in his
hands, he stepped to the door, and upon opening
it he was assaled by several men, armed with
knives and clubs. He retreated few PAGES,
and burst both caps Of his gun, without dis.
charging it, in the faces OF two OF the gang. A
close encounter ensued, and he dealt heavy
blows upon his assalants with the gun-passing
several times around the room-receving, from
time to time, heavy blows from their clubs, until,
overpowered, he fell upon his bed senseess
from the loss OF blood, from deep wound in
the side inflicted with knife, and one upon the
head from a club He was now dragged into
the yard and beat in a most shocking manner,
by first one and then another OF the FIVE vii.
lans. Mrs. Flow, who had been pressed down
behind the door by one Of the gang. with pistol
at her breast, now implored them to save the life
OF her husband, and take what money there
was about the house, consisting oil fIty dollars.
At this they desisted, leaving the Major lifess
upon the ground, while they re.entered tho
house, and, after throwing everything into the
greatest confusion, dragging trunks into the yard
and strewing it with their contents, they fed
with their booty-a pair Of fine pistols and
fifty dollar Treasury Note. At the time Of
their first entrance into the house, the servants
and laborcrs OF the farm-al saves-sleeping
in an adjoining room, being alarmed, rushed to
the assistance OF their master. The first was
knocked down, and the others held at bay by
two, or more, with drawn pistols, threatening
death to the first one that moved. One man,
however, succeeded in escaping, and flying to
town, soon gave the alarm. In the space Of
half an hour nearly twenty Of the relations and
neighbors were assembled at the house. All de.
scribe the scene as truly heartrending. Mrs.
FLOYD was found bathing the temples, and en-.
deavoring to staunch the blood Of her almost
lifeless husband. He died the next day.
Five or six persons have been arrested, Is
parties in the murder, and one Of them identified
so as to leave little doubt that he was the prin.
cipal actor in the bloody tragedy.

Jobs Of selfdenial. He wears the plain garb Of
Humility, and has better suit to put on when
he goes to Court. called the robe OF Christs
Righteousness. He often walks in the valley Of
selfabasement and sometimes climbs the noun

cry morning on spiritual prayer and sups every
evening on the same; he has meat to eat that
the world knows not Of, and his drink is the
sincere milk Of the world. Thus happy he
