CHICAGO, April II.
a somewhat noted character named
Z. L. Oatman committed suicide last

saloon at the corner of Madison and
Clark streets, in a peculiar manner.
He was discovered at about six O'Clock
this morning lying on his back on a
table in the saloon. directly under a
common gas chandelier, from one OF the
burners of which rubber pipe ex-
tended into his mouth. Under
his head was cigar box and over his
face was spread coat, probably to pre-
vent the escape of gas from his mouth.
When discovered he was apparently
dead. although it is asserted that dur

body was discovered, "there were signs

THE bill to prohibit the obstruction
of the Ohio river by bridges of less than
four hundred feet span seems finally to
have been lost. 1t was reported back
Friday morning from the Senate Postal
Committee with an amendment that
would have required the tearing away
OF the Stubenville bridge; but we have
not been able to trace 1t any further.
1t does not appear to have been reached.
We cannot help being again reminded
of the remark made by "Mack" in re-
gard to the difficulty of getting any
thing through the Senate adverse to the
interests of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road. The man in the Internal regions
with a ke of powder under his arm
would have comparatively an easy time

THE Commercials correspondent re-
ports that fewer jobs and swindles we're
legalized during the last hours OF the
sessic of Congress just ended than has
been known for several years. One
little scheme which answers that de-
scriptiou was Mr.. Morton's proposition
to give the Senators from the lately
rebel States two years back pay, or
some $4,000 each more than they had
either legal or moral right to. AT the
very last hour of the session Mr.. Nor
ton made an effort to force this swindle
through, but was happily defeated.

IN one of Mr.. Johnson's late speeches
in Tennessee he said that while Military
Governor of Tennessee in 1862 he had
given Parson Brownlow $500 to aid
him in establishing Il Newspaper at
Knoxville. Parson Brownlow publish
es a card in the New York Times say
ing that the money was taken from
funds of the Federal Government in
Johnson's hands. The Times wants to
know where Mr.. johnson got his au-
