Some Germans, taking breakfast in their
house in Philadelphia, had their attention at
tracted by noise in the entry. Going thth-
er, they found their mother hanging by the
neck to the rail OF the staircase, committing
suicide. Instead of cutting her down at once,
and thus surely saving her life, all three set
off after policeman. When they returned
with one, of course the old lady was dead.

A NEW BUSINESS FIRM.-As the only hope
of defeating the Republicans in the State of
New York the Herald, proposes s.joint stock
electoral ticket, in behalf of Bell, Douglas and
Breckinridge," with view to concentrating
all the elements of opposition against Lincoln.
Why Sam. Houston and Gerrit Smith are not
admitted to the proposed firm, lis not stated but
we suspect either of them could contribute
nearly as much capital in votes as some of
those named. Wouldn't that be beautiful

PRESIDENT JACKsoN's FIRST CABINET.-A
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
contradicts the statement of Hon. Amos Ken
dali, recently published in a paper of this
city, in relation to the breaking up of Gen.
Jackson's first cabinet. The writer admits it
to be true that the quarrel was among the men
and not the women ,ibut says that it originated
W ith the latter, and that their husbands after
wards became party to it. He says:-
l will state what was believed in Washing
ton at the time, elsewhere, and generally. 1t
was that certain members of the cabinet and
the females of their families refused to visit
Mrs. Eaton, wife of the Secretary of War, or to
have ANY social intercourse with her. These
members were Ingham, Secretary ofthe Treas
ury, Branch, Secretary Of the Navy, and Ber-
rien, Attorney General. Vsn Buren,, Secre-
tary of State, and Barry, Postmaster General,
being friends of Eaton, who, of course, could
have no other than unfriendly feeling towards
those who had sought to exclude his wife from
high official society. Then came the dissolu-
tion of the cabinet-Van Buren went Minister
to England, Eaton to Spain, Barry remained in
Office, and Branch, Ingham and Berrien went
out, and became hostile to Jackson. These,
think, are the facts of the case, and had some
opportunity of knowing what were the facts.''

A New SENSATION i-FRoM THE GALLONS TO
FORTUNE THE Chicago Herald has seen a
letter from the Prussian Consulate, resident in
New York addressed to Greenebaum & Broth
ers, making inquiries as to the whereabouts OF
Heinrich Jumpertz, stating that a lady resi-
ding near the place of his nativity, had died
recently, leaving Henry, his brother Franz,
and one or two others, heirs to vast estate,
consisting of lands, stocks and money, and
requesting the Messrs. Greenebaum, bankers,
to make out such documents as were neceSsa-
ry to secure to Henry his share in the legacy.
The letter stated several circumstances which
leave no doubt that Henry Jumpertz, so well
known to the citizens of Chicago, in connec-
tion with the Sophia Warner tragedy, or ssbar-
rel mystery" as it has been termed, is the
fortunate legatee. Bon is given as his birth
place, 1884 as the year of his birth /; it is
stated that he come to this country with his
brother Franz, from whom he parted in New
York city, and that he had been tried and ac-
quilted on charge, the nature of which was
not stated and other circumstances were
mentioned which leave the Identification CONF
plete. 1t is said that after Jumpertz was ac-
quilted upon his trial for murder, he endea-
vored to get an honest living in Chicago, but
was regarded SO suspiciousy that he could
not. A few friends, who believed him inno-
cent, gave him funds, and abandoning his
original intention to live down the opprobrium
which the greater part Of the community
heaped upon him, he went to st. Louis. Un-
der an assumed name-for the press had made
the name of Jumperts notorious-he followed
his trade, and afterwards, we believe, was en-
ployed as a bar ber on one of the river steam

| ture excellent woolen clothing, blankets, bas-
ket work and pottery. Unlike most of the In
uian tribes OF this country, the women work
within doors, the men performing all the farm
ana out door labor. As race, they are light
er In color than the Digger Indians of Califor-
ma. Indeed, the women are tolerably fair, in
consequence OF not being so much exposed to
the sun. Among them, Capt. Walker saw three
perfectly white, with white hair and light eyes.
ne saw two others of the same kind at the
Aunl villages, uear the Rio Grande. They
were no doubt Albinos, and probably gave rise
10 the rumors which have prevailed of the ex
lstence OF white Indians in the Basin.
The Moqus have probably assisted nature in
leVeling the top of the mountain as site for
their villages. They have cut down the rocks
In many places, and have excavated out of the
soild rock number of large rooms for manu-
featuring woolen cloth. Their only arms are
bows and arrows, although they never war with
any other tribe. The Navajoes carry of their
stock without opposition. But unlike almost
every other tribe of Indians on the continent,
they are scrupulously honest. Captain Wal
ker says the most attractive and valuable ar
tlcieS may be left exposed, and they will not
touch them.
Many of the women are beautiful, with forms
OF faultless symmetry. They very neat and
clean, and dress in quite a picturesque cos
tune OF their own manufacture. They wear
dark robe with red border, gracefully draped
so as to leave their right arm and shoulder
bare. They have most beautiful hair, which
they arrange with great care. The condition
of female may be known from the manner of
dressing the hair. The virgins part their hair
in the middle behind, and twist each parcel
around hoop six or eight inches in diameter.
This is nicely smoothed and oiled and fastOn-
ed to each side of the head, something like
large rosette. The effect is very striking.
The married women wear their hair twisted
into club behind. Ct
The Moquis farm in the plain by day and re-
tire to their villages on the mountain at night.
They irrigate their lands by means of the small
streams running out of the sides of the noun
tain. Sometimes when it fails to snow on the
mountains in winter. their crops are bad. For
this reason they always keep two or three
years provision laid up, for fear of famine.
Altogether, they are most extraordinary peo-
pie, far in advance of any other aborgines yet
discovered on this continent. They have never
had any intercourse with the whites, and of
course their civilization originated with them
selves. What field is here for the adven-
turous traveller! We have rarely listened to
anything more interesting than Captain Walk
er's plain unaffected story of his travels il
the Great Basin.

SENATE-At clock the Senate re-assem-
pied
Mr. Wilson defended the Republicans from
the charge of eXtravagance, saying that the
requirements made by the President and the
Departments exceed the appropriations made
by Congress- The House was controlled by
the Republicans; they had refused the esti-
mates of the Administration, while Demo
cratic Senate, under the control of Democratic
Senators had added over six millions to the
House bills. When such charges were made,
he desired to point to the record He then
proceeded to show the necessity for an in
crease Of the tariff for revenue to meet the
debts of the Government He said the Gov
ernment had gone in debt $4,000, 900, he did
not believe the coming importations would af-
ford sufficient revenue for the requirements of
the appropriations and pay the interest of the
debt He, therefore, advocated an increase of
the tariff to meet the contingencies
Mr., Toombs read the Civil Appropriation
bill with the amendments of the Senate Fl
nance Committee, showing that every one
made was TO fulfil contracts and TO carry out
existing laws The Republicans of the House
appeared 10 be economical by honest con
tractors and carrying on a system of prohiga-
cy in approprating $6,O00,000 for fraudulent
pensions.
Mr. Bigler said he did not like to hear such
imputatons east on the Department or the
Senators who voted for the measure. He did
not like the way the Senator spoke about it.
Mr. TOombs said he would give way for an
explanation, but should not for a senator to
protest against what he said; he disclaiined
any imputation on any Senator.
Mr. Bigler said he did protest
Mr. Toombs replied, that if he was not sat.
isfed with the remarks he could get saisfac-
ton here or outside the chamber He was
speaking of the Government and made no
personal allusion He continued TO show that
the Republicans were friends of extravaganza
They we're deep in peeulation in all the Lee
gisatures of the North, and God only knows
what they would do if they got the power
Mr.. Doolittle asked the Senator if he did
not recolleet the Seazos grant in Georgia,
when the people burnt the records Of the
State.
Mr.. Toombs replied that some desperate
men got in thel Legislature, as is the case in

House.
Mr. Clark, of Missouri, moved to increase

to by 80 majority and the resolution was pas
sed by l02 to CO.
Mr.. Gurley also reported resolution, which
was passed, to print 5000 extra copies Of the
report of the regents of the Smithsonian In
stimtion of 1859; also, n resolution to print
the same number of copies of the report of
Lieut. Ives, on the exploration of the 'Colora-
do. This was tabled
Mr. Burlingame seconded, ,un Ter "a suspension
Of the rules, the Senate bill for the relief of
Travers Daniel The claim has been long
contested The greatest possible confusion
prevailed throughout the proceedings. Gen
temen frequently complained that they could
not understand what was going OH.
Mr. Martin, of Virginia, said the noise was
owing to strangers being ON the floor and cal
led on the Speaker to enforce the rules
The Speaker issued directions accordingly,
but this produced no sensible improvement
Repeated motions were made to adjourn; and
one at half past nine p. NJ prevailed.
