None in the world he replied; it
must brve been someone from the cut
side, for there were none but women in
the house
After little further sonvcrsatisn on
the matter, took ny departure, with
out giving him any decided opinions as
to my belief in hi, innocence. When l
reached my Office, 1 seated myself in an

ter long aud seriously. l was we'll aware
that Johnston's statement was an i'm
possible one, and would Of course have
no weight in court sf justice /; but
there was something in his manner Of
telling it to me- something in his frank,
open souutenance, which impressed me
strongly in bis favor, and after mature
consideration | came to tho conclusion
that the statement nigi, b true. But
it is one thing to believe in q person's

to me that none Of the inhabi,ant. of tho
house could have done it, for as I have
before said, they consisted only of Miss
MoLesd, Miss Leroy, an old maid, who
acted US kind Of governsss to Marsar-
ct, and the too servant girls. I made
up my mind that it must have been
some one from without, and ,he door
having been left open, favored the sup
position. | began to invent 4 thousand
different theories as to how the murder
was effected, until my brain grew dizzy.
The thought then entered my head to
go and search the house where the deed
had been committed, to see if l could
discover any clue tisrs l Immediate
ly acted upon it, and in few minutes
found myself before the door of the late
Mr.. McLsod's residence.
1t was large, gloomy looking house,

A LETTER FROM JUDGE BREEsE.

We publish to-day communication addressed to
us by Judge Breese We regret that tho letter. after
having visited this city, took journey to Louisville,
80 that it did not reach hands till yesterday.
couple of weeks ago the telegraph reported that
Judge Breeso had absolutely declined to be consid-
cred candidate for the Senate, and it broadly
animated that he would support Judge Douglas.
The Chicago Times thereupon cordially endorsed
Judge Breese democracy and high standing in ILL
nois We feel little curious to see what the
Times will have to say in the present altered state
Of things. The silly falsehoods of Forney's Press
were unworthy Of Judge Breese's notice Tie
editor of that paper has sunk himself SO low in
the opinion of all honorable men by his mis-
representations Of democratic measures and his
SANDERS of democratic that no one thinks of
giving credit to any statement coming through such
channel. lie fabricated pirate conversation with
the President, which never was held, conned it
over, committed it to memory, went to New York,
repeated it tho stump, corrected it for his pa
per- and then circulated it as widely he could to in
iure and disgrace the whose patronage and coun-
tenanco gave him all the consequence he ever had.
On the same occasion he tried to serve his own ma
lcious purposes by another fabrication in which he
represented Gov. Walker as offering gross insult
to the President and cabinet The baseness of this
last fasehood is intensified by the mcanness which
leaves the public to infer that Gov. Walker not only
committed the offence against decency which Forney
attributes to him, but boasted of it afterwards.
This article which Judge Breese encloses to
MS is but another of those personal SLAM
ders which have made the "Press" and its editor
Infamous Forney brags continually of the promi-
nent and leading position which he had among Mr.
Buchanan's friends for twenty years. IL this DO
true, he knows that Judge Breesc and Mr. Buchanan,
whether they differed agreed on public questions,
were always on terms of warm personal friendship,
and he knows too that among the statesmen OF the
country there is moro upright, honorable, or
able than Judge Brcese. M4sM
While we are about it, we may as well refer to

THE CHINA TREATY.

We published yesterday statement from the
Friend of China" of what are reported to be the
principal provisions of the treaty recently made with
China by the minister of the United States, Mr. Reed
The treaty itself has not yet been received by our
government The latest communication from Mr..
Reed is dated June 18th, and in this, after announc
ing the signature of the treaty on that day. he adds
The departure Of the mail-boat within few hours
compels me to limit this despatch to the mere an
nunciatiop of the fact, ! shall send the treaty by
the next mail steamer" In order of time the Rus
sian treaty to have been first signed then the
treaty with the United States, and afterwards that
