The LATE TRAGEDY IN ALEXANDRIA Death
If M. IeRHe SOH-The pail of gloom still no Jers
over the citizens of Alexandria because OF the
terrible double tragedy which occurred there
Saturday night, wherein Miss Laura Schafer
most estimabe and beautiful young lady, was
burnt TO death by the explosion of a coal oil
lamp, and shortly after her betrothed. Mr.
Charles Tenneson, in his great distress OF mind,
shot himself through the head. Miss Shafer
as ii has already been stated, died in a couple OF
hours after the Ignition OF her clothes with the
combustble fluid, but her afianced fingered
with the pistol ball in his brain till four o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when he breathed his last
The sad affair has been rendered more impres.
sIye by coincidence between the funeral of
the early intended bride and the last ex.
pIrlng breath OF her prospective groom.
After lingering IN an insensible condition
for over thlrty-siX hours, young Tennison
bTeathed his last at the very instant that the
first note was sounded from the bell OF the
church of which she was member, denoting
the starting OF the remains from her fathers
residence TO the sacred temple whereat her flu
neral discourse was 10 be preached. AT five
O'CLOCK TINS afternoon, the funeral OF Mr.. Ten
nIson will take place, and from his univs rsal
popularity, besides his connection with the
Odd Fellows and other Orders OF that charac-
ter 1t it expected that it will be the largest
which has been seen in Alexandria for years.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP,

1t is now very evident, says the correspondent
of the Baltimore Gazette that the programme of
the truly soil' party in the South has been again
changed, and the idea of allowing the Legislatures
of the States to elect Presidential electors has been
abandoned Mr.. Devices, of North Carolina, who
wanted the reconstructed governments to be prop
ped up with Federal bayonets, declared most en-
phaticay that the people of his State would never
assent to such political fraud. This and similar
declarations from Georgia members, together with
the late action of the Georgia Legislature in elect
ing Democratic Senator have given quietus to
tho project, and with determination to try the
ballot-box comes call upon the President for
troops.
1t has already been stated that the President is
thoroughly posted as to the alleged outrages in
Louisiana, Texas and Tennessee, and while he re-
fers such applications rs have been made for troops
to Secretary Schoeld the Secretary is ut the same
time kept informed of the true situation of affairs
and he rules accordingly. The popular impression
seems to be that General Scho6eld sympathises
with the radical party, but there is good reason
for believing the opposite. He will not allow him
self or his department to be used to advance the
political fortunes of the radical party.
It may very we'll be inferred what the status Of
the Secretary of the Treasury now is from the at
tacks upon him which have recently appeared in
radical prints, but Ihave fact which demonstrates
it still more clearly. learned that he expressed
himself without reserve this morning to several
gentlemen, as entirely sanguine of Seymour and
Blair's triumphant election. The prospect of sue
cess now so bright, has become the panacea for all
diseases arising out of anxiety and perplexity of
mind produced hitherto by incertitude in respect
to the all-important question of how the cat will
jump.

OLD CoNGREssMEN ASHAMED OF THE CARPET
BAoeERs.-The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser (Radical) says:
The new impeachment scheme brought forward
in the House on Saturday resulted in o lesson
which some of the so-called carpet-baggers may
take to heart With great benefit to tho country and
themselves. Mr.. Hamilton, of Florida, was ambi-
tious to shine in the matter. The Speaker had
told him privately, over and over again, that the
subject could only be introduced when no other
business was before the House; but Mr.. Hamilton
persisted in rising to antugonize it with more in
portant subjects, and when he got the floor instead
of presenting his impeachment matter, lie began to
lecture the Speaker, charging him with sighting
both him (Hamilton) and his proposition: The
Speaker thercupon administered to the half fedged
representative rebuke that will not soon be for
cotton by any one in the chamber, OLD members
say that it was one of the most deliver
ed from the chair, and Us well merited it was
severe. The impeachment was quietly buried under
the table of the Judiciary Committee, motion of
Governor Boutwell,.
