WHAT GEN. DEVENs WANTS.

President JOHNSON has created quite dis
turbance in Massachusetts by calling Judge
RUSSELL from the bench Of the Superior
Court of that State to preside over the affairs
of the nation at the Custom,house in Boston.
The Springfield Republican comments on the
subject of the vacancy occasioned as fol.
lows:
1.-THE vacancies on the Superior Court
bench continue to excite much speculation
among the lawyers and politicians, and many
new candidates are named. Hardly county
that does not furnish one or more Mr.. Taft,
of Berkshire, is one of the most prominent,
and is quite likely to receive an appointment.
Gen. Devens, perhaps the only person certain
of an appointment turns his back on the OPP

well, and Baldwin-the b QuartGttc-are
willing they should appoint him, and that
therefore he will be likely to have the Office.

THE COLLECTOR AND NAVAL
OFFICER OF BOSTON.

1t is gratifying to find The PRESIDENTS
nominations for Collector and Naval Officer
of Boston so fully endorsed by the people
and the press of all parties. We have here
tofore quoted the opinions Of the Republican
press relative to the appointments Of Judge
RUSSELL. and Gen. Osborn.
The Boston Post, the exponent of the
Democratic party Of New England, speaks
of those appointments in the following highly
complimentary terms
Judge Russell has entered upon the dis
charge Of his duties as Collector under favor.
able auspices. He is learned able, courte-
Gus; although decided in attachment to the
Republican party, is liberal and tolerant
free from that bigoted prejudice and self,
conceit which deems difference from his
opinion an offence. We believe he will prove
popular, efficient and faithful public ser

"The telegraph informs us that Gen. F. A,
Osborn has been, or certainly will be, con,
frmed as Naval Officer. Business men will
be pleased TO see so competent, afable and
deserving o citizen in this responsible posi-.
ton. lie is in the prime of life, familiar with

honorable military record. With two such

First Appearance of Fanny Morgan
Phelps ut Wallis Opera House.

\ very respectable audience assembled at
Wallis Opera House last night, in spite of
the driving snow-storm which had stormed
snow all day, keeping it up, and down, until
after midnight. Those who braced the storm
deemed themselves well repaid by the acting
of Miss PHELPS, on this, her FIRST appearance.
Two pieces were presented" The Actress
by Daylight" and The Wild Irish Girl ~
in both Of which the new star displayed q
ripe knowledge Of the principles of her art,
which she has mastered to that degree that
her acting seems devoid of art, and puts on
the Elusive guisc of nature. Although the
audience seemed most pleased with the first
piece, she displayed some fine points of act
ing in 1.-THE Wild Irish Girl" Her singing
is pleasant and very effective.
Mr.. G. w. HARRISON, new actor on our
boards, supported Miss PHELPS very hand
somely, and the old favorites of the com,
pany, HALE, Miss BLANCHE GREY and others,
appeared to excellent advantage Tonight
Miss PHELPS will appear in "Pauyrotte; or
Under the Snow" and the "Bonny Fish
Wife"

Horrible Murder I'm Noblestown,
Penn. A Farmer Killed and
Robbed-He Is Stabbed i'm Twen-
ty-One Places.

PIrrsBuRd, March 2l.-News has been re-
ceived here Of horrible murder committed
on the evening Of Monday, March Is, near
Noblestown, Washington county, Pa. Three
men went at Q o'clock to the house Of Hugh
Sproull, wealthy farmer, and demanded
his money. He refused them, and told them
he knew them. One Of them then seized
Miss Sproull, an aged sister Of Mr.. s., and
carried her up stairs, where he bound her to
the bed with ropes. The other two attacked
Mr.. Sproull, and beat him with o pair Of
tongs, and inflicted on him stabs that must
have proved fatal in themselves. Twenty.
one wounds were inflicted on the unfortunate
man. They then threw quilt over the
corpse, and robbed the house, getting some.
thing over 800. Miss Sproull remained as
the murdercrs left her until the next even.
ing, before the crime was discovered and she
released. There is clue to the murderers,
and they are being tracked. Mr. Sproull
was bachelor, sixty years old.

NEW ORLEANS, March 2l.-This city is to
be registered at once, preparatory to mu-
nicipal election, previous to which it seems
yet uncertain that there will be any change
in the city administration. Bureau agents
throughout the State are to send up loyal
names for registers, and there is to be small
military force in each parish. The Unionists
are organizing. Warmoths grand army
numbers in these two districts $500, and the
intention is to make thorough canvass Of
the State. The nullifers also are sounding
the keynote of a general movement. Dun
can F. Kcnner's Senate resolution yesterday
exhorts all to register and vote. The two
black clouds are rising over the campaign,
and the more confident are the nullifers.
Wells impeachment is dropped as now un-
necessary.

DETROIT March 2l..-In The. Suite Senate
yesterday, Gov Crapo's veto of the Port
Hudson and Lansing railroad bill was voted
upon, and resulted in the bill being lost
lacking one vote of the necessary two thirds
This morning the Governor sent to the
Senate a veto of twenty railroad bills, on the
same grounds as the former veto. The vote
on two of the bills lacked strength to pass
them, and the others were tabled. This
probably, ends the project of building rail
roads in this State by means Of taxing mum
