The Senate Republican caucus held an ami
mated session If two hours this forenoon, con-
sidering the tenure of Office law. No decision
was reached, and the caucus will reassemble
at o'clock this afternoon. Mr.. Morton an d
several advocates of the total repeal of the
law withdrew before the adjournment, retus-
ing to be bound by the caucus decision A
large proportion Of the members have had a
discussion, and it is said to have become ap-
parent that the law will either be repealed or
suspended till the 4thof March, 1873, the proyis-
ionfor the suspension until next December be-
ing generally abandoned. Grimes and Sprague
also withdrew before the adjournment.
Mr.. Conling's proposition to suspend the
law four years, OF during the administration of
General Grant, was discussed with much ami
nation.
Mr.. Edmunds subsequently offered resou-
tor that the act ought not to be repealed This
also occasioned a lively debate. Finally re-
solution was adopted that the bill and pending
amendments in the Senate shall be recommit-
ted to the committee Of the Judiciary, with a
view to a modification Of the law now in forces
AS the House has twice passed the bill for it,

A melancholy occurrence took place recent
y at Portage, Ohio Mrs. Blair left her home
in the morning to go a hort distance to a
neighbours house. On her way she had a deep
ditch to cross; and when in the middle of the
ditch the ice gave way, and she was immersed
IN the water to her arm pits. She was com
PEELED to remain thus in the water for almost
two hours, when her cries of deep agony at
tracted tile attention of two men who happen
ed TO be passing near the place, who helped
her out. While in the water, and doubtless
caused by her struggles to get out, she was
seized with pains of travail, and after being
carried home she was delivered of a child
after which she Immediately expired The
babe lived, and is apparently well. Mrs. Blair
was young and beautiful woman She was
not quite eighteen years of age, and had been
married about one year

How the Offices Go.

We all have heard of the prayer of the
old fellow who wanted the Lord to take par
ticular care of his family, without regard
to the rest of the world. :" Lord bless me
and my wife, my son John and his wife
US four, and no more. Amen /" This idea
seems to have seized fast hold Of the APP
pointing power at Washington, having been
acted upon thus far, and is apparently to
control the flood Of appointments that are
to come when the Tenure of Office jam is
broken. The men who fugled for Grant,
who have blowed for Grant, who have
made him presents of big oxen, money,
clothes, boots, brooms, &c., have made
their calling aud election sure. Brothers
in-law, army associates, old West Point
companions even to the most distinguished
of rebel Generals, rich men who have got
ten up purses Of money, &C., have been his
only care and only recipients of favor. And
pending names upon his slate are those of
his brother, Oryille Grant, for Postmaster
of Chicago ; his brother-in-law, Gen. Dent,
for Collector Of San Francisco; Thomas II.
Foulds of Covington, KY, an old friend Of
the Dent family, for Postmaster at Cincin-
natl and SO on to the end. While Gen.
Grant has worked his g system" with the
greatest of ease so far, and while its opera
ton is very pleasant to undergo for relatives
and friends, this manner Of disposing of
the public plumber is far from satisfactory
to the wheel horses of the party which
placed the new administration in power.
The radical papers are very outspoken
in regard to some of the appointments
made. The Cincinnati Commercial charges
distinctly that the recently appointment OF
Postmaster of that city displaced an excel
lent official for one who knows nothing
of his duties-and all because he is "a
friend of the family
But all the ado that is being made over
the country about this favoritism will have
no effect upon Grant. His obstinacy is too
prominent and too much of q governing
trait to give way. He will fight it out on
that line, come veal or woe. Every adj
ministration has had its distinguishing fea-
ture, aud that Of the present one is to be
nepotsm. All Grants relatives and all his
wife's relatives, as tar as the least streak OF
affinity can be traced, are to be provided for.
1t is by no means sure that visiting ac-
quaintance by his tom-cat to neighbours
premises would not constitute claim for a
first class appointment, Having attended
to all these cases, he announces that the
heads of departments, from what are left,
may satisfy similar claims on themselves.
What do the old war horses of the party
say to this?

ClIAMBERsBURG, Pa, March 81. A girl 10
years of age, and two young ladies', daughters
of neighboring farmers, were ravished by a
negro on Friday. The negro is named earn,
10 years old, and native Of Chambers burg
He was arrested and is now in Jail, charged
with these outrages. There Is but little doubt
Of his being guilty. The excitement in the
community is intense. On Friday night an eff

hang him. Eight hundred people gathered
about the building. Speeches were made by
a number Of prominent citizens, and the moi
was induced to dispense. The prisoner has
since been guarded by strong force, summon

DUEL IN New ORLEANS. A Mr.. Lalaure
and Mr.. Jewell recently fought a duel in
New Orleans with rifles at forty PAGES, the for
mer having his back to the wind. Tie result
is thus described
The principals having been placed in position
and the words being ''Gentlemen are you
ready? One, two, three, the ball of Mr.. jew
ell passed very close to Mr. Lalaurie' s head
For some reason not mentioned the gun of Mr.
Lalaure was not discharged within the stipulat-
ed time.
At the second shot the ball from Mr.. Lalau-
rie's rifle passed through the clothing of Mr..
Jewell at the right knee; the spectacles worn
by Mr.. Jewell were blown by the wind from
his face, and his shot failed-thoueh Mr.. jew
ell is considered one of the best shots in the
cty-to touch his adversary.
At the third shot the ball from Mr.. Jewells
rife passed through the coat sleeve of Mr.
Lalaure on q line with his heart. The ball
from Lalaurie's rife lodged in Mr.. Jewell's
right foot.
The challenger and his friends then express
ed themselves satisfied with the result of the
firing and left tho ground, Mr.. Jewell and his
seconds following.

The Watervle Mail relates story which
although not without many precedentS, is re-
markable as showing how easily men may be
led by circumstances to entertain unjust sus-
picions concerning their neighbors. Twenty
five years ago their lived in the town of Clin-
ton, Maine, d man named Bryant Fly. Ger
tain Mr.. Allen came from Vermont to buy
Fly's farm and the two went to Augusta, the
former with considerable money and watch
in his pocket, for the purpose of having the
conveyances drawn. Fly returned home with
the money and The watch in his possession, but
Allen was never heard from again. The Mail
continues the narrative as follows:
In time, letters of inquiry came from his
relatives III Vermont to persons in this vicni-
ty and the account detailed by Fly was sent to
them in reply. The circumstances were calcu-
lated to excite suspicious, though we do not
know that the previous character of Fly had
aided them From day to day the story went
from neighbor to neighbor, and from town to
town-with such decorations, true and false,
as were known or surmsed. Everybody who
lived within the circumference of the wonder
at the time, as child or adult, will remember
having listened TO the story of the murdered
Allen. In time it wore out, as such things do
now; and as it had never been shown that
there had been u murder. Of course there had
been no arrest of the murderer. Years after
ward Fly died in his bed, as other men do.
But now comes the revelation for the sake
of which we have called up the ghost of this
almost forg often wonder. At the time of Flys
death Il Young man named J. B. Farnsworth,
now Col. Farnsworth of Iowa, lived in Clinton,
and was familiar with the thoussnd-and- one
stories about the murder. Indeed he was at
the death bed of Fly. Going afterwards to the
far West, where he settled, business led him
several years later, away up to Fox Lake, in
Wisconsin,. Here he stopped alta tavern kept
by Mr.. Allen, and was detained several days
by storm.
Talking one day with the landlord, he spoke
of his former home in Clinton, Me, when
Allen inquired if he ever knew man named
Bryant Ely-and the conversation at once
brought forth the whole story of the murdered
Allen. The landlord was a nephew of the
murdered man. He lived in Vermont at the
time, and shared In all the excitement about
his lost uncle. s'But," said the landlord "tle
whole matter came to light short time ago.
An aunt of mine, sister to the supposed muir
dered Allen, received Il letter from him from
the city of New York, saying that he was Sick i,
broker down and in poverty, and asking per-
mission to come and spend his last days in her
care"
A lady Of Waterville, sister of Colonel Earns
worth who has just returned from visit to
his family, gives US this story, with the assur-
ance from the Colonel that it is perfectly re-
liable solution of the mystery of the murder
charged upon poor Byrant Fly.

We have new evidences that the Belfast
Custom House is not to go into the hands Of a
Belfast man, under the new administration,
however much the local candidates may fiatter
themselves to the contrary The ex-State
Treasurer, having been to Washington and
carefully laid his corns, has come back in high
glee. He has undermined the whole Belfast
programme, and when the time comes for ap-
| plying the match, will blow it skyhigh, and in
the Confusion that ensurs will seat himself or
his next friend in the Collectors chair. We
have no interest in this matter, only to forecast
coming events for our radical friends here.
And we tell them that the Philistines are upon
them.

The Connecticut Election.

One week from next Monday occurs the
annual election in Connecticut. Both par
ties arc fully organized and awake to the
importance of the occasion, and most
spirited contest may be looked for, and, we
trust, a Democratic victory. There are very
excellent reasons for believing that such
a result may be reached. The principal is
sue to be decided is that Of ratifying the
proposed amendment to the Constitution,
giving negroes everywhere the right to vote.
Connecticut has always opposed this meas
ure, and cast her votes for the Democracy
whenever it has been q part Of the radical
platform, as State issue
The Democracy have re-nominated Gov.
English, while the radicals put forward Mar
shall Jewett, man of wealth, who is ex-
pected to help forward the canvass with
greenbacks. For Congress the Democrats
have nominated in the First District, Ex-
Senator Dixon, who so gallantIy stood by
President johnson in his contest with the
radical revolutionists. In the Second Dis
trict, Hon James F. Babcock, former Re-
publican. In the Third District, Hon. Abiel
Converse. In the Fourth District, Hon.
VIM. II. Barnum, who at present represents
that District. At the last election for MEM
bers Of Congress, the Democracy carried
three of these Districts by majorities rang
ing from 800 to 1900. The State has been
carried by the Democrats for the past two
years, except in the late Presidential Elec-
ton. when it WAS suffered to 90 bY default.
