On Monday, Mr.. Trumbull, from the
Judiciary Committee, reported, with
amendments, the House bill to repeal
the act regulating the Tenure of Office
bill. The amendment makes the bill
provide for a suspension of the law till
the next session of Congress.
Mr.. Morton offered a joint resolution
providing that majority of any State
Legislature shall be sufficient to ratify
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States proposed by Congress, and
that the resignation, or withdrawal. or
temporary refusal to act of tile minority
shall not affect the validity of such rati-
fication by a majority.
The bill to strengthen the public

The Teu,.re-Of-OMce Lar.

Tie reason why Gen. Grant is not
sending more nominations to the SEN
ate is that he is waiting for the repeal or
SUI pension of the tenurc-of-of1ice law
1t seems to us that reasonable Republic
cans ought to be satisfied with a suspon-
sion but Washington correspondents say
that nothing short of an absolute repeal
will satisfy many good republicans.
Col. Forney takes strong ground in the
Chronicle in favor of the uncon iitional
repeal of the bill. He says:
ave regret any suspension or other
similar action { n the part of the Senate
for many reasons. Foremost of these is
the fact that it looks like a manifest fly
ing in the face of the will of the people,
whose represe natives in the lower
House have passed the repeating bill by
an almost unanimous vote. That they
have in this vote correctly expressed the
wishes of their constituents there is eve
nv reason to believe and none to doubt.
For the enatc to hesitate under such
circumstances is to assume very grave
responsibility and can hardly fail to eX-
cite q suspicion that this hesitation is
due to reluctance to part with power,
quite as much a by a regard to the pub
lie interests. So far rs Grant himsslf is
concerned, it is manifest that the people
trust him fully and desire to leave his
hands united in the discharge of his eX-
ecutive duties. He is their represe nta-
tive freshly elected, and not an acciden-
tai President like Andrew Johnson.

SINGULAR SUICIDE. - The Norwich
Bulletin says that for some time past
Isaac S. Pickering, of Brooklyn, Ct, has
been digging his own grave and speak
ing of taking his life. Thursday noon,
he went to the post office and remark ed,
while there, that he would go off in
about two years. Soon after he started
for the cemetery, followed by some
boys. On arriving at the grave, he took
off part of his clio hes and told the boys
to carry them home. About half past
two he sent up to the village to have
more come down to see him kill himself,
but, with the exception of few more
boys, nobody came. A few minutes
before three, he drove the boys back
from the grave, beyond the he1ge, and
preci ely at three he shot himselfin the
temple, killing himself instantly. He
was nearly SO years of age, and was al
ways of an eccentric turn ofmind.

THE LIVING HEAD.-The eXplana-
ton of one of the most impressive tricks
exhibited in New York by "Heller" and
others in taken from "Marion's Won
ders of Optics:"
The "Speaking Head" trick is per-
formed on this principle: When the
curtain is drawn up, the audience per-
ceive an apparently living head placed
on small three-legged table, the cur
tain at the back of the stage being quite
visible through the legs. By-and-by
the bodiless head, which is generally
painted in very fantastic manner, be-
gins to speak, answer questions, and
ends by singing a song. The trick is
performed in the following way: The
PAGES between the legs are filled with a
looking-glass consequently the specta-
tors see the reflection of the curtains at
the sides of the stage, which are made
exactly like those at the back, thus Civ
ing the table the appearance of standing
on three slim legs, with nothing be-
tween. Behind the looking-glass there
is of course plenty of space for the body
of the man belonging to the magical
head. The exhibitor naturally take es-
pecial care never to pass in front of the
table, otherwise the lower part of his
body would be reflected in the mirror
