The caucusing to ascertain how many
members are going to vote on the question
OF impeachment seems to show that its fate
rests with the New England delegation
Of her twenty-eight votes, only seven are
counted on as reliable by those who advo-
cate impeachment. The impeachers still
claim that they can rely upon ninety-five
votes in the House, making o majority in
their favor. There are now one hundred
and eighty-three names upon the roll; on
Monday five of the Kentucky delegation
will be admitted, making one hundred and
eighty eight in all, of whom forty-fve are
Democrats, There are absent, on account
Of sickness, six Republicans, and it is not
likely that one hundred and eighty votes
can be polled when il comes to q final is
sue. Ninety one will be requisite to adopt
the articles, and should forty-one Republi-
cans go against impeachment it will fail.
Those opposing impeachment in the Re-
publican ranks have gained confidence
from the fact that SO many of the leading
Republican papers of the country have de-
clared against impeachment. So closely,
however, is the question balanced in the
House that it will require the best of We'd
nesdays action to settle the strength of
impeachment in the House. In the Sen
ate an impeachment conviction requires a
two-thirds vote, and the vote of eighteen
members will defeat it.-,Su;.

Attempt of a Young Bride i'm Baltimore
to Commit Suicide

On Saturday last, young woman of
fourteen years was joined in wedlock to a
man of thirty-fve years, named Wise, in
the eastern section of the city, and the in
dications of life of happiness were very
fair. On Sunday, however, a difficulty
arose, and of so serious a nature that the
husband did not again speak to or notice
his young wife She bore the trial with
apparent frmness until Thursday, when
she determined to put an end to her trouble
by ending her existence. She went to the
drug store, at the corner of Pratt and Eden
streets, where she obtained half ounce
of laudanum, by stating that it was for a
person who was suffering from the cramp.
AS soon as she reached her home she swal-
lowed the poison, and it was not discovered
until she showed symptoms of stupor. A
physician was then called, and after con-
siderable effort restored her. She then
said she tried to kill herself because of a
difficulty between herself and husband,
but persistently refused to state the nature
Of the difficulty Baltimore Gazette, 30h.

The decapitaticn of General Mower, that
most blood thirsty of all the military heads,
men with whom Louisiana and Texas have
been scouraged, is the most delicious case
of retributive justice since the head of the
ingenious DR.. Guillotine was shaved off by
his own admirable invention. Cen Han
cock found this proscriptive satrap hard at
work, bloody to the elbows and filing the
daily papers of two cities with the lists of
his victims. He had strewed two States
with decapitated governors, judges, sher-
ifis, legislators, and justices of the peace,
when Nemesis, in the shape of frman
from Hancock, overlook the butcher, and
off went his own head ! A more obscure
but far more remorseless despot than
Sheridan, the defunct Mower has not been
honored by q bow or regret from the Radi~
cal party. The killing of rat could not
have occasioned less comment than the re-
moval of Observation-Disclosures enquirer.

eXcesses have recently been committed by
! the blacks in Bullock county. In the
nelghborhood of Perote the colored Loyal
Leaguers organized and resisted the pro
cesses of civil law. Under instructions
from colored emissaries they formed a code
of laws to govern the negro population,
! opened q court, officered and exercised.
arresting by night all blacks who opposed
their unlawful proceedings, and carried
punishment SO far that their victims
applied to the civil authorities for nrotec-
! ton.
The black sheriff" and his deputy were
finally arrested, but other insurrectionarv
leaders organized the negroes and made
armed resistance. Aid from other leagues
was summoned, and the blacks flocked to
Union Springs, threatening a general ris-
Ing and determination of the whites and
taking possession of the country. The
black leaders went to plantations and
| forced laborers to join them for vengeance,
| showing pretended orders from General
Swayne giving them the right to kill all
resisting their authority.
During the excitement q negro church at
Perote was burned by unknown parties
alleged to be the negroes themsclves) to
influence the blacks. The whites univer-
sally regret it.
The white citizens have organized for
protection.
Con. Swayne was appealed to, and
promptly sent detachment of troops to
the scene of trouble to restore order.
Fifteen black insurrectionists have been
arrested and lodged in jail to be tried by
the civil authorities
At last accounts order was restored and
all was quiet.

A Horrible Suicide.

A German named Ferdinand Stehle,
committed suicide about 10 o'clock last
night, by shooting himself in the mouth.
The circumstances are about as follows
Mr.. Stehle is a cabinet maker, and keeps a
grocery at No. 2G3 Shelby street, between
Jefferson and Green. For some two years
past he has suffered greatly from dyspep-
s1a, and lately grew very despondent. Yes
terday he refused to go to his work, and
secluded himself in the cellar, where he
remained until night. When he came up
to the store his wife asked him to close the
windows. He said he would do SO for the
" last time. After putting up the shutters
he drew pistol, and his wife grappIed
with him to get it, but failing, ran to the
door and shouted for help. The man ran
behind the counter, and putting the muz-
zle of the weapon in his mouth, discharged
it, killing himsef instantly. His face was
literally torn to pieces. He was an indus
trious and temperate man, and it is sup
posed that he was laboring under a fit of
mental arrangement. He leaves q wife
and three children to mourn his untimely
loss. Louisville Co"rier, NoO. 2S.

~ilOrt Dresses.

A remarkable change ia, fashion is the intro
ductlon oil the short suit Many tremble while
adoptin, ~ daring an innovation, fearing ridi.
cute, or that fashion 80 strange and unexpect-
ed would vanish suddenly a. it appeared.
The new short dress is thoroughly feminine
1t trees women from all the obstacles to walk
in- and outdoor exercise, without offending
tn .lste or their scruples. 1t is simple, COM
pact, requires little material, few skirts and those
small and narrow, relieves the body of all super
huous weight. and in conjunction with the admi-
rable thick-soled walk ing boots now in vogue,
furnishes a custome for the street az nearly per-
feet as one can expect to get in this transitory
and imperfect state of existence.
1t is not known how long the fashion will con-
tinue to be accepted abroad-but it is greatly to
be hoped that it will be sustained here A gen.
GRAFTON OF short dresses would enable our Anne
rican wOmon to grow, and nurse their own child
rem, and prove great step towards universal
millennium '"'
The style of making short dresses is infinitely
varied, but the prsttiest are cut streight at the
edge and open upon the sides, over the petticoat.
The jacket accompanying these is short and
streight, somewhat loose, and cut up on the sides
also. el st H.to
The first short dresses were universally cut in
"dents" or teeth, square or pointed, and many Of
them are cut out in various ways still, but the
palmer method is generally considered in the
best taste ''sg II III 04s. ot
r. Balmoral skirts in fancy colors, or with fancy
trimmings, are not elegant worn under short
dresses; the petticoat must be of the same ma
terial as the dress or deep band emulate the
petticoat in the same or a contrasting color
Among some beautiful models of short dresses
exhibited by Nine. Democrat was one with
breadths shaped like petals, and folding over like
the leaves of flower. The sac is cut to match,
or it may he simulated by trimming put on SO
as to produce the same effect. The material in
this case was black silk, and it was trimmed with
narrow folds of violet silk. put on between two
9oucea"r of black satin. with Jet heading The
pettiooat was of violet silk laid in the fiat plaits
fastened down with small cut jet beads. 'ai
Another design formed an octagon over
streight petticoat The material was gray pop
lin, and both dress and petticoat were trimmed
with bands OF white gimp, made in network of
fine gray cord and chenille. The short sac was
cut to match.
Short dresses will be god-send to those who
like morning walks in the country. No mere
dew bedragged skirts, no more extravagant
washing ills-"seeing the sunrise" will simply
require the exercise OF q little moral courage-it
will cease to be an expensive luxury.
1t must be remembered, however, that short
dresses are not TO be worn on ceremonious occa-
sions without offending against the rules of So
cial etiquette; and moreover, that they must not
be worn at all by ladies weighing over two hum
dred pounds.-Neao Fork Times
