The origin of the report that Senator Fes-
sender had prepared written opinion in fa-
vor of the acquittal of the President is related
by the Washington correspondent of the New
York Times as follows:
On Monday Mr.. Fessenden rode to the capi-
tol in the cars with several other members OF
Congress, and had in his hand a roll OF manu-
script plainly indorsed on the outside: Anal
yss of the tenure of Office act" 1t is possible
also that the number of pages was apparent.
Sharp eyes searching for clue to the reticent
Senator's convictions beheld this, aud at once
fathomed his mind. The tenure OF Office act
had been analyzed, and of course it was in-
valid. Fessenden had prepared an argument,
and it was against conviction. This was logi-
cal reasoning, certainly. The fact is that the
document in question was paper on the sub
ject of that act written by another gentleman,
handed to Mr.. Fessenden for examination, and
actually not read by him up to that time. Out
of this, and this only, grew the wild reports OF
Monday and Tuesday-one facie correspon-
dent going SO far as to claim that he had ac-
tually seen the points of the Senator's argu-
ment .....

The HAMPTON FALLS MURDERER-The
real name Of the murderer of Mr.. and Mrs
Brown is Josiah Little Pike. He was known
at Hampton Falls by the assumed name OF
John ID. Ross. There is nothing striking
about his personal appearance. He is of about
the medium height, with slim figure, black
hair and eyes, dark complexion, small black
moustache and imperial. He is said to have
some Italian blood ia his veins. His mother,
sisters and brother live in Newburyport, Mas
sachusetts, and are of good repute. The New
buryport Herald gives the following account
of hi IN: lD rsa sHr
Josiah Little Pike, who is charged with his
terrible crime, is native of this city, a young
man of thirty years, who has been inclined to
vicious habits from his youth. Time and
again he has been in trouble from drinking
and stealing. For robbery in Lynn, he was
sentenced to two years in the House of Cor
recton at Ipswich and closed the term last
fall While at Ipswich, DR.. Hurd, Superin-
tendent OF the House of Correction, reported
him as behaving admirably. Dr. Hurd had
such confidence in him that he allowed him
to go at large; and when he wanted to leave on
the cars, not unfrequently Pike drove the
carriage to the depot; but with all his OPP
portunities he declined to leave. When his
time was out, he came home, and was fur
nlshed money to go to the State of
New York to work at his trade-shoe-
making, he expressing a desire to reform,
and his friends believing he would be better off
al distance ina new community. He went
as far as Boston, where he spent his money,
and soon after hired out at Hampton Falls
to work for Mr.. Brown under the assumed
name of Ross. He did so well there that the
family regretted when he left them. But at
ter having eaten at their table, slept in
their bed, and conversed at their fire side, he
returned to his old habits, and maddened by
rum, his first visit to their house was to muir
der those who had treated him SO kindly and
to whom he had always been courteous and
respectful.
Pike was married some ten years ago to a
Miss Burnham OF this town; but she died in a
short time, and also a child she bore him.
During the war he was in both branches OF
service. He enlisted in Capt. Westcott's COM
paDy and was two years in the Mozart regi-
merit, till receiving two bullets in the battle oi
Williamsburg-o in the arm and the other
through the body, he was carried to the hos
pltal and was soon afterwards discharged. He
then enlisted in the navy, where he served two
years, and was at the capture of Mobile.

THE MANUFACTURERS IN CoUNCIL.-The
manufacturers are not satisfied with the sue

by the committees sent to Washington from
the Cleveland and Worcester Conventions,
Indeed there are other things which in com

bent upon them to demand The taxes upon
their products are removed but they must
still pay an income tax special or license taxes
and indirectly their proportion of the tariff.

rers' Association at Cleveland, on the 9th

mention specifically a reform in the civil ser
vice as the principal object now sought to be
obtained by the Association, but it can hardly
be otherwise. The millions of money that
would be saved to taxpayers by the operation
OF reform in the method of bestowing ap-
pointments to Office would be greater relief
to the manufacturing and all other industries
OF the country than any revision of the tariff
that can be devised. @
