1t appears from the best commercial an.
thorities that the condition of financial affairs
In New York Is not encouraging. The vol.
ume OF currency was decreasing by the policy
of the United States Treasury, and merchants

singular that under the highest degree OF in

trouble and embarrassment about money
The rage for speculation is great, and capt
taIists are not willing long to trust their
money to any particular fate. They call in
frequently and change investments often,
Where to hide their gains when everything Is
20 uncertain, is the most perplexing Of mat
tiers. New York is realizing the irregn'

"Mr. Brooks remarked that if he had
not, long since, adopted the HoratiaI

astonished at the extraordinary p~resenta,

and at the still more extraordinary speech
Of the gentleman from Maryland against

of representation existed in the States o.
Maine and Connecticut ; that by the ger
rymandcring process in Pennsylvania and
other States the majority was cheated
OF its representation and that real
republican forms of government existed
in no State. As 10 Tennessee and Missouri,
there was no more republicanism there
than there existed under the Pasha of
Egypt or the Sultan of Turkey. There
was no republicaniSm represented even in

AAN AhAHN ASAhA @@4hNN H"sANa
A young man, Roby by name, was ar
rested near Orleans, in this county, and
brought hither for Judgment in jail on.
Tuesday Of last week, charged with the
heinous crime Of numbering his father,
Isaac Roby, an aged man of seventy years,
upon the Sunday previous. As far as we
can ascertain the facts, it appears that
upOn the afternoon OF that day, young
R0by rode to Orleans for the resident ply
stefan, stating that his father had fallen
and seriously injured himself, and urged
the doctor TO make all haste, as his fathers
life was in imminent danger. Thus APP
pealed to, he started Immediately but
upon reaching the old mans residence,
found him ~lifcless. An examination OF
the remains revealed a CHASTITY wound,
some three inches in length, in the fore
part of the head, apparently inflicted with
some sharp instrument, and the sides OF
the face and head bore evidences of having
been bruised with a blunt weapon. From
the suspicious appearances, foul play was
inferred, and the son and a daughter-ln-
law, the wife of an elder son (thc only per
sons who, it could be aSCertained, were
about the premises at the time were taken
into custody. Their statements of the
affair, we understand, are conflicting, and
suspicion points to them very strongly as
being implicated in the horrible tragedy.
The old man, the elder son and his wife,
and the younger son, who is accused with
having committed the deed, all resided
together, and, it is said, did not get along
very tremendously.

voters, as provided by the supplementary

vention will assemble in June, and if so,
all the action necessary 10 the admission
Of representatives to Congress will be had
in time for the next winter session. That
consummation is devoutly wished for, as
the only means of restoring public conf
dence, and reviving the trade Of the oun

Discussion on THE ADJOURNMENT CUES

Discussion on THE ADJOURNMENT CUES
TIoN.-Au interesting feature in the dis
cussion to-day in the Senate on the ques-
ton of adjournment was the argument
upon the proposition to delegate to the
presiding officers of the respective Houses
of Congress the power to determine whe-
Their Congress should convene on a given
day or not.
vincing speech, the burthen of which was
that the power sought to be deputed to the
presiding officer is purely legislative, and
that it is unauthorized by law, and in viola
ton of the well-settled principle that
legislative functions cannot be delegated
by legislators. The point was tacitly con-
coded by the Senate, and most of those
who urged the proposition to give the
presiding officers the discretion mentioned
abandoned it. But Mr.. Sherman en-
deavored to show that the proposition is
not unauthorized, but fairly deducible
from the powers lodged in Congress by the
Constitution. Mr.. Sherman characterized
the project to bring Congress here in
extra session during the summer as "a
ridiculous farce" He said that it is not
expected that members of Congress will
come here to attend the proposed meeting
Of Congress. He was willing to vote for
the proposed meeting, however, to please
his friends in the House, but, nevertheless,
there was no necessity for the extra ses-
sion the President could do no harm if
he would, and he (Mr. Sherman) was salts
fed that Mr.. Johnson was executing faith
fully the reconstruction laws passed re-
Gently. and that IN intended to execute
them, whether Congress shall be in ses-
sion or not.-W Washington Letter in Sun.
lin view of existing laws, what could be
more absurd than q discussion of the con-
stitutionality of any measure which may
be proposed ?

KICKING IN HARNEss.-While the Incl
dental subject of re~constructing Maryland
was being talked of in the Senate Thurs
day, Mr.. Yates took occasion to allude to
the refusal of the people Of Ohio to grant
negro suffrage, and advocated its enact
ment for that State also. This brought out
Mr.. Sherman, who declared that any inter-
ference by Congress in this matter would
only intlame the State pride Of the Ohians
and retard the accomplishment of the end
desired and in answer to a direct ques-
ton, he said that Congress had no right to
interfere with the suffrage in the loyal
States, and he should not vote for such a
bill. This crumb of comfort is recon-
mended to the Radical agitators of Mary
land. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander. surely,

AN OLD LAw-sUIT.-The case of Breck-
inridge's administrators against Lees exc
cutors and others has been p~erplexing the
mind of Kentucky ever since 1911. 1t
grew out of another suit begun in 1903,
so that its history is that of Kentucky
itself. John Breckenridge and George
Nicholas, two of Kentucky's ablest men,
made a contract with John Lee for the
purchase of 10000 acres in Bath county,
and hence arose an involved series of legal
distractions without end. From 1895 to
1867 is bridged by this tedious lawsuit, to
which Jarndyce Us. Jarndyce looks feeble
and accomplished. The Court of Appeals
has decided substantially in favor of
Breckinridge's heirs, the amount sued for
being about 3 $1,000.

"No!"-Mr. Laurence, of Ohio, is ex-
coriated by the National Republican for
voting against the proposition to send pro-
visions to the suffering people of North
Carolina on a Government-chartered YES
sci. He asked if the transportation of the
food would be done at the expense of the
Government under the resolution, and
when answered in the affirmative he raised
his voice, "solitary and alone" and ierked
out o "N0." If he supposed, adds the
Republican, that after the case had been
stated to the House there was another
member mean enough to vote "No," he
found himself mistaken; and if, when he
goes home he can find any of his constitu-
ents who is not ashamed of that mean
vote, we are mistaken also.
