SENATOR sHERMAN's sUBsTI.
TITE.

The substitute which we designate above
Us "Senator SHERMAN's came from COM
mittee Of seven appointed in Senatorial he
publican caucus, on Saturday. Senator
ANTHONY was chairman Of the caucus and
he appointed Mr.. SHERMAN chairman Of the
special committee, and that committee and
the caucus instructed the latter TO report the
substitute found elsewhere. The extreme
radicals will oppose it. For instance, Mr..
SUMNER refused to vote for the substitute,
and, when it was adopted, we learn that he
arose from his seat, denounced the measure
as shameful and, wrapping the drapery OF
his cloak about him. after the manner Of the
Romans, he strided out Of the Senate cham
Der TO his domestic chamber, where, 1t is sup
posed, he again wrapped the drapery Of his
couch about him and laid down to any
thing but pleasant dreams" The substi-
tute recognizes the power Of The President
to appoint the commanders Of each Of the
proposed five districts; and denies to such
subordinates the power to suspend the writ
of habeds corpus. In this respect it differs
with the STEVENS military bill Of the House,
and on that account Mr.. STEVENS, in the
House, will probably follow the lead Of Mr..
SUMNER and oppose it.
The two FIRST lines Of the substitute
"Whereas no legal State governments
now exist in the rebel States of Virginia" &c.
is unfortunate language, and entirely un'
necessary President JOHNSON, following in
the footsteps Of his illustrious predecessor, be.
leves that the ten States referred to have
illegal governments as far as he has beer
able to make them so. The substitute de
clares thas tho governments instituted thu
far by ANDREW JOHNSON are illegal" and
are inadequate protection for life or prop
erty," and, to use the language of the substi
tute, are now "rebel States" All this
"whereas" is buncombe, and the only ten.
dency of it is to irritate. 1t is not important
to the body Of the measure, and is language
that ANDREW JOHNSON can never sign with
honor and dignity to himself. Impeachment
would be preferable, and in the end far more
profitable to him.
Besides, the substitute gives to single
military officer the authority to destroy civi
courts and substitute military rule over hi
entire district
We did hope that the Senate would inau
gurate measure that TIE President woult
be willing to acquiesce in, even If he coul'
not sign it, and which, after it did becom
law, he could execute. Mr.. SHERMAN's doe
not seem to us to be such measure.

Suicide Of Citizen Of Hartford.

HARTFORD, Feb. l5.-Shortly after one
o'clock this morning Major II. @. Ransom,
while laboring under temporary fit of in
sanity, threw himself from window Of his
residence, falling n distance Of fifteen or
twenty feet, crushing his skull and causing
instant death. The circumstances of the
tragedy were as follows: For several days
Mr.. Ransom had been in great trouble and
perplexity in consequence Of some dsarrange-
ment in his business affairs and it was Of
served that his mind was affected. Just be-
fore his suicide he was lying down in his
room, and his wife had been bathing his head.
He made excuse for sending her out Of the
room for q moment, and when she returned
he was missing The open window revealed
the terrible occurrence. Major Ransom was
well known all over the country, and espe-
cially in Hartford and New York. He has
for many years been the leading merchant Of
this city, and Major commanding the Gov
ernor's Foot Guards. lie was State agent
for the Florence Sewing Machine Company.
The deceased leaves q widow and three chill.

An Old Man Burnt TO Death-Foul
Play Suspected.

Especial Dispatch to tho Boston Journal
LAWRENCE, Feb. l6.-lt is stated in the
American that the barn Of Mr.. ingalls, Da-
mon, in North Reading, near Andoyer, was
burned Wednesday morning, and that his
remains were found among the ruins. He
was a very penurious old man and lived
alone. Foul play is suspected
We learn as additional particulars Of the
above that the body of the dead man was
found badly burned and disfgurcd by the
flames, and that there were marks upon the
back Of the head and neck which appeared
to indicate that violence had been used upon
him. A lantern burning and the hat Of the
deceased were found upon table in the
kitchen of the house. A search through the
house for papers which he was known to
have had in his possession failed to bring
them to light. His daughter formerly lived
with him, but Of late he has occupied the
house entirely alone, and from his penurious
habits it is thought that the probability Of
his having considerable money about him,
and his lonely situation combined, induced
some one to commit the murder which is
now suspected. As far as we can learn there
are no circumstances pointing toward the
perpetrator Of the murder, If one was CON-
mitted
