COnGessiO N Of IL NIurdcress.

Last week woman named Perkins, wife
of respectable well to do farmer, near
Brantiord, U. c., finding herself upon the
death bed sent for n clergyman, and con
fesscd that she had at different periods of
her life, committed sir murders, and all by
poison. At first it was imagined that she
was deirous, but subsequent inquiry has
afforded ample oorroboration of the poor
wrctchcs statement. She said that she had
Il mania for destroying human life, and it
was only by the greatest self-rcstrant that
she could keep herself from secretly poison
ing all persons with whom she was on terms
of friendship. She had, however, poisoned
four children and two adults; and what
is still more revolving, is the fact that two
of the former were her own children, and
one of the latter her first husband. The
children were murdered in England, and
the adults in Canada She has been mar
rich to her second husband for n number OF
years, and all tho time passed for very
respectable, industrious woman. Her ap.
pcarance, however, was most revolving, and
she was, in fact, the exact image of what
we should imagine one the weird sisters il
'Macbeth" to have been. She died soon
after making the above horrible disclosure.

Military Interference In New
Jcrsey--A Governor with n
Back bone.

The printing orthe Legislative documents
of New Jersey brings to light corrcspon-
dcnce which reflects great credit on the in
trcpidity and frmness of Governor Parker.
1t appers that last autumn, Secretary Stan
ton, having fortified himself with the sub
servicnt opinion of his man Friday, Holt
of the ''Bureau of Military Justice" de-
manded of Governor Parker the surrender
for military trial, a person under indictment
by grand jury of New Jersey, for the
crime of murder. Stanton supported his
demand by the example of the governors
of other States (all Republican, of course, J
who had yielded obedience to similar man
dates. Governor Parker told him, in res
pcctful, but firm official language, that he
should do nothing of the kind; that the
prisoner was in the custody Of the sheriff,
subject to the action of the court, and that
all concerned must await and abide that ac-
tion With such Governors as Mr.. Parker
in all the States, summary end would be
put to military interference with the rcgu
lar course of justice in the State tribunals

Corrections.

The W,stliche Post (St Louis) is author
lied to state, that President johnson did
not say Governor Fletcher: "This is n
white man s Government, and by G. while
] am President, it shall be white man $
Government! The report is Incorrect,
and it was not Governor Fletcher who au-
thorized the papers to publish this re-
port. As far rs Governor Fletcher rcmcm-
berg, President johnson used the following
words: IL am in favor of the white man,
or, 81 belong TO the white man party"
The correction will be generally acccpta-
blc, as it relieves the President of being
considered profane; while the substance is
not dimnised n particle. The President is
in favor of the white man, and belongs to
the white mans party.

A warning to POstmasters.

The President has ordered the Postmast-
or at Davenport, Iowa, RUSSELL, to be re-
moved, and the appointment of General
SANDERS in his stead. This RUSSELL is
the editor of the Republican, in that city,
and followed the lead ofthc Chicago Tribune
in denouncing the restoration policy of the
President. This shows that Mr.. JOHNSON
is disposed to incur the risk of exposing
himself to the impotcnt wrath of the radi
Gals, and may serve to put wholesome re
straint upon their disorderly propensitios
May this dispcnsation of retributive justice
be sanctifcd to all whom it may especially
concern.
