A Significant Omission.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says:
It is considered here that the most i'm
portant feature of the Message consists IN
what it does not say. Although it con-
tainsa full and frank exposition of the
Presidents views as to the theory of Re-
construction, it does not urge those views
upon Congress as rules of Immediate ac-
ton. 1t does not even state the Presi-
dents opinions. as to the present condi-
ton of things in the Southern States-an
omission the more noteworthy, as the
state of the country might have been ex-
pected to form one Of the most essential
parts of a Presidential Message at this
momentous period-but in recognizing
the power of Congress as to the compile
ton ST the work of Reconstruction, it
leaves Congress perfectly free to act upon
its own judgment. Assuming that there
is a difference of opinion between the
President and the majority in Congress
upon the problem of Reconstruction,
there is, as the matter is put in the Mes
sage, no necessity for any conflict between
the Executive and the Legislative powers
on that point. This is the view generally
taken in leading political circles here, and
in this respect the Message wa received
by the majority with unfeigned s~atisfac-
ton.

The Homes of Andrew Jackson and
Daniel webster.

"The Hermitage" or what once was
the home of President johnson, is rapidly
going to decay. 1t stands without a ten
ant, and the only article of furniture it
contains is an old arm chair which, report
has it, did once belong to General Wash
ington. Adjacent tothe house, in a rudely
built log hut, lives an old negro and his
wife, formerly belonging to General Jack
son. The sacred tomb of the soldier
statesman and his wife is in a corner of
the garden. 1t is in the form of a
Temple of Liberty. One of the
large stones covering the remains has
sunk down, and, like the rest of
the premises, is going to ruin. The gar
den, once so beautiful, is overgrown with
weeds and grass. The fences are nearly
all down and rotten; in fact, all is desola-
ton. The property was left to an adopted
son, a nephew of General Jackson, who
sold it TO the commonwealth of Tennessee,
its owner still.
"Marshield," the home of Webster, is
quite a watering place, and is becoming
more so every summer. Hence the man
sion is much resorted to. The family

that were presented to MI. Webster to
"the chamber where the good man met his
fate;" and the grounds, on the re-
ceipt of a small fee. The house is Just
as Mr.. Webster left it; a spacious one of
wood, painted white, and with green
blinds. 1t is quite far from the street, in
the style of an English gentlemen's home,
and has that magnificent old English elm
beside it, as formerly. None of the Web
ster name now reside at "Marshfeld,"
though the widow of the late Col. Fletcher
Webster usually spends a month or two
on the farm each year. Tho place will
soon be owned by Ashburton Webster, a
grandson of Daniel, or rs soon as he is of
age. He is connected with the United
States Navy, and promises to be worthy of
the name. Daniel Webster, who bears the
great name of his grandfather, and son of
Colonel Fletcher Webster, is now here,
and apparently in the last stages of a fatal
disease. As most know, nono Of Mr.. Web
ster's children are living; and but three
grandchildren of his name, the two al
ready mentioned, and their sister. There
arc also four grandchildren by the name
Of Appleton, children of his much loved
daughter Julia. All his children are buried
at his side in the family tomb.

PaImcrston Apologies 10 Butter.

The Washington Republican says that
Gen. Butler has a letter of apology written
to him by Lord Palmerston not very long
before the latter's death. When Gen.
Butler issued his celebrated Order No. 20,
in New Orleans, known as the woman or
der" he was denounced by the rebel chief
tain B~eauregard as a "beast," which cpl
tibet was not only echoed all over the
South, but was adopted in spirit by Lord
Palmerston, late Prime Minister of En-
gland. Shortly after the noble Lord him
self had a personal experience of the un-
pleasantness of scandal, a story of his re-
lstions with a Mrs. Kane, not much to
the credit of either, having become spread
abroad. General Butler having heard of
this, wrote a letter to a distinguished gen.
tlemen on the other side of the Atlantic,
in which he alluded to the fact that Pal
merston had repeated the dirty scandal
about his (Butler's) woman order )" that
perhaps the learned Premier was not
aware that the order which, in consequence
of the 6eaStLy conduct of the rebel women
of New Orleans toward the Federal troops
became a military necessity, was copied
uerbatim from an order of the City Coun-
ell of London, during a time of peace /
He also remarked that probably his Lord
ship had begun to learn how good it was
to be slandered. Upon reading General
Buffers letter, which embraced all the
facts about the misconduct of women,
making Order No. % a necessity, Lord
Palmerston wrote a letter of apology TO
General Butler, which the latter still
holds.
We wonder whether the late "noble
Lord " would ever have written that let
ter of apology if he had not heen SANDER
ed himself. Would it not have be en- more
maganimous if his LOrdship had taken
back his contemplate slanderous remark
upon General Butler tn the place where
he made ton the floor of Parliament?

Attempted Suicide Of n Disappointed
Office Seeker.
[From the National Intolligenccr, Dec. IT

From the National IntoIligenccr, Dec. =
A sad example of temporary insanity,
caused by the use of opium and by disap-
pOintment in failing to obtain n coveted
appointment, is furnished in the case of
Mr.. Dennison, who, on Saturday last, re-
signed his position as crier of the court
under the firm conviction that he would
be chosen Doorkeeper of the House of
Representatives. The use of the narcotic
had so affected his mind that he dreamed
of nothing but success, and when, on
Monday, he awoke to the reality of de-
feat, the reaction toppled down his
reason, and in his despair he sought the
d" sleep of death" Entering a sa-
loon, he called for a glass of liquor, in
which he was in the act of inserting a
poison, when the barkeeper wrested it
from him and thus frustrated his purpose.
Soon afterwards, at the Metropolitan Hotel,
he was observed to take a paper from his
pocket and pass the contents to his mouth,
when his hand was arrested by persons
who had observed the singulality of his
behavior, and an examination showed that
the powder was arsenic. He was then
taken in custody by the police, to whom he
declared that he was fully determined to
put an end to his existence; and, after
being placed in a cell, he attempted to
hang himself by means of a handkerchief
that he had secreted from the officers,
which fortunately breaking, caused only
temporary strangulation. He remained
but n few hours under the surveillance of
the officers, when he was conducted to his
home by a relative and two physicians,
and we are informed that his friends an
ticipate his speedy recovery.

Gordon, the RebeI leader,

The Rev. Mr.. Gordon, who wa so sum-
marily executed by the British authori-
ties in Jamaica as a "rebel leader" was a
white man and a Baptist clergyman, re-
sided at Kingston, forty miles from where
the outbreak occurred, and was guilty of
no offence other than that of advocating
the rights of the blacks in the Colonial
Legislature, and taking a prominent part
in the Baptist ~revivals of religion on the
island. He was seized at Kingston, taken
to Morant Bay, tried before drumhead
court martial, and s%un1marily executed.
This is British justice. How consistent
in British philanthropists, as they term
themselves, to petition this government
for the pardon of the leading characters in
an actual rebellion, which resulted in the
loss of hundreds of thousands of lives.

power of Boards of Trade to do

it be adopted as one of the rules
of each Board that such transactions

the evil viii be greatly diminished if not
altogether abolished, and that much COED
will result therefrom.

A curious illustration of the way in
which both parties endorse the Presidents
message is afforded by the following para
graph from a Washington. letter to the
Cincinnati Commercial.
A gentleman yesterday asked Sena-
tor Salisbury of Delaware, how he liked
the message. ~ like it very well indeed;
it just suits me" Soon after, the same
party inquired of Mr.. Sumner how he
liked it. Remarkably well it's just the
thing"

While was busy tending to tile wants Of some
half dozen ladies, by throwing down goods for
the fun of putting them UP agaih, two small boys
who infest my store daily, were having fine sport
by pulling each other up with a rope and tackle in
the store room. The most venturesome boy. had
gained fine elevation by putting his fcotin the hook
and holding on by the rope, Seeing him in danger,
spoke to him quickly to come down, thereby d.
rectng the ladies' attention TO the youngster aloft
Just at that instant his foot slipped from the hook
and the iron caught the bottom of his pantaloons;
the treacherous cloth gave way and quicker than

squirrel, the only part of bis clothing remaining
in its proper place being his shirt collar. The chap
who had command of the elevating-rope, was dunn
founded at the sight Of his boon companion in mis-
chief, ayd held on like true soldier while the
man aoft kicked and yelled manfully. The ladies
screamed, and one miss covered her face with her
hands and peeped through her fingers while your
obedient forced to face the music and go to the
delyerance of the boy, who, through accident had
got his clothes on wrong.
