THE NEXT CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Such Of the Re.
publican members OF the present House as
are elected to the next Congress are can
wasting quite generally about the new or
ganization on the 4th of March for it is
conceded the Forty-Second Congress will be
organized on that day, thus enabling mem.
berS to draw their salaries every mouth
during the long recess, instead of waiting
till next December: and some Of the State
delegations are holding caucuses to decide
on candidates for offices. In all these CON
fercnces thus far nothing has been heard OF
the revenue reform movement, and it is
very doubtful if any practical step will be
taken to attempt to organize the House on
that basis. The Wisconsin Republican del.
egation have held q meeting and decided to
support General Paine. of that State, and q
member Of the present Congress from the
Milwaukee district, for the position of Ser.
geant-at-ArnS for the next House, and the
Ohio delegation, after similar conference
have decided to support Colonel Hawkins,
the present assistant superintendent of the
document-room, for postmaster. Candi.
dates tor clerk of the House will be nomi.
mated by other delegations in a few days
1t is known that all OF the present officers
Of the House are candidates, from Speaker
down, for reelection.

Reported Confession Of the Murderer
RuIOff.
From TIE Utica Is. " Herald

From tie Utica Is. " Herald
Now that the third Jury has pronounced
Edward H. Rulotf guilty, and for the Sc
cond time guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree, and he has been sentenced to be
hanged by the neck till he is dead, it seems
proper enough to record the gist Of the
confession to which we alluded the other
day. At his trial in Ithaca, twenty-five
years ago, for the abduction Of his wife, he
gave the tull particulars Of his crime to his
counsel, Mr.. Gushing. Mr.. Gushing dying,
left it with legal brother of Ithaca. 1t
was to this effect: Mrs. Rulof and their
child were at the bottom Of Cayu9a lake.
Rulotf first rendered his wife insensible by
chlorolorm. He then took up plank in
the floor, and opening 4 vein, bled her to
death, the blood flowing through the open
ing The child he disposed Of in similar
manner.
lie then put the dead bodies III box
prepared for the purpose. He got neigh
l,or to help him load the box upon q wa
CON. alleging that it was filed with books.
lie drove to the lake, put the box in skitf,
then filed it with stones. and rowed out to
the middle of the lake, where he pushed
the box with the corp>es Of his wife and
child overheard. No one saw the dreadful
deed, and until very recently none but the
contidant of his early counsel knew the
facts. We have tue name Of him to whom
Mr.. Gushing told the above, but refrain
from giyingit. The facts as we have stated
them we have reason to believe are correct,
and rs such are here first made public.
1t will be seen by reference to our tele-
graphic columns that Judge Hogeboom
has denied arrest Of Judgment, and
sentenced Rulotf TO be hanged on Fri
day, the Sd of March next. We can
well believe that he heard his sentence
lin sullen silence" He has listened to a
ike sentence once before. Three times
he has heard the word "guilty" fall from
the lips of the jury foreman. He has seemed
possessed of charmed life. For Il quarter
of century he has carried with him the
knowledge of Il revolving crime. He has
gone on in crime. Mcrrick was his third
known victim. Jarvis and Dexter, edu-
Gated in crime with him, lay their deaths
and disgrace ut his door.
His mother-in-law was his sixth victim.
She, bowed down with grief over the loss
Of her daughter, had dragged along in life
till confronted at Binahampton, in August
last, with the man whom she believed but
did not know. to be guilty of that daugh-
ter's death. The shock was too great ; she
died in less than three days. And We say
again, that if this sentence be carried out
on the 3D. of March, Ruloff's death will he
The seventh death known to be chargeable
to Ruloh's agency.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Walter Lennox, once Mayor Of Washing
| ton, has been committed to the insane asy,
lum here. Mr.. Lennox was refugee In
Richmond during the war, and suffered d
term Of imprisonment, by Federal order,
in Fort McHenry.
Speaking of Chas. II. Porter, he assumes
to control the Federal appointments of the
third Virginia district. have It on the
best authority that he is engaged in secret
effort to effect the removal Of Rush Bur
CESS. Of Petersburg; Miss Van Lew, post
mistress Of Richmond, and ID. E. FL. Smith,
the United States assessor of the third dis
trict. The plot was unearthed yesterday
by the friends of the officials named, who
are now here. The only one of the above
named officials thought to be in danger OF
removal Is Miss Van Lew, and this danger
arises from the withdrawal of her Republic
can bondsmcn from her bonds, which com.
PEELED her to look among her Conservative
friends for substitutes as her sureties. This
she has done, and now Porter charges that
this generosity commits the postmistress to
u recognition of the claims of Conservatives
in her appointments. Porter has on his
slate the following names for appointment,
vice those menaced: II. l.. Wigand, post
master, at Richmond; Samuel F. Maddox,
of Chesterfield, United States collector; S.
i. t.llHaDie, Oullcu Cthtes doseSooi w LIE
T. Bailey, marshal of Virginia.
Two committees from Richmond are
here-one representing the interest of the
Gins" the other of the "outs;" or in other
words, the respectable and disreputaDle
wings of the Radical party of Virginia.
The former committee had an interview
with the President this morning, when he
assured them no changes would be made at
the present time. Mr.. Platt is not involved
in the plot. believe, though even he has
few friends to reward and enemies to
punish.
There are but few Vireinians in the city
save the antagonistic politicians from Rich
mond. ! find no Norfolk names of note
registered at the hotels.
The contest between Otis W. Presbrey,
the "in," and Robert W. Hughes, the
"out," for Supervisor Of Internal Revenue
for the two Virginias and District of Column
bia, is ended, and Mr.. Presbrey remains in
office. Messrs. Porter, Platt, and major
ity of the Virginia delegation endorsed
Presbrey, and strongly recommended bis
retention. Messrs. Mckenzie, of the House,
and Lewis, Of the Senate, went for Mr..
Hughes, but it was no go.

IMPORTANT TO BANKs.-The United State:
Treasurer has made the following decision
in reply to national bank which stated
that under the item Of deposits in its semi
annual return it had included the amount
due banks, in accordance with its invaria.
BILE custom, although it felt that this was
not Just nor warranted by the intent Of the
act, and that by an arrangement with its
correspondent it settled Tor balances semi.
monthly, aud that such balances are not
subject to drafts on 1t at any other time, OF
more frequently than semi-monthly. The
Treasurer says:
"The text of the act known as the
national currency act, section Al, fixes "a
duty of one-q quarter Of one per centum each
half year upon the average amount OF
it's deposits This provision Of the law
appears to me to embrace every description
OF bank deposits. and all instructions from
this office, including the paragraph under
the head of deposits printed in the form
of Semi.annual returns, furnished to banks,
are based upon that interpretation ofthe act.
From the aggregate of deposits required to
be returned, no other deduction is c0nsid-
cred proper under the law than the average
amount on deposit to the credit of this
Office by depositary banks. although they
doubtless derive some profit from such de.
posts. | am unable to see any appearance
Of injustice in requiring national banks to
include in their average of deposits all their
collections, whether from other banks or
from individuals, and any exemption OF
deposits from duty founded upon arrange.
ments between banks and their correspond
ents would not be practicable without the
sanction of law"

Is stated that the Crispins now on the strike

Mrs. FA1R-Puzzli,g Questions THAI
Seem to FAVOR the htrderess.-[ From the
San Francisco Bulletin. The absorbing
interest that all parties took in the Critten.
den tragedy enacted here some weeks ago,
like all California eXcitements, is abating
among the people generally, although with
the legal fraternity it still presents all its
points of interest in the same intensity as
at first. The probabilities are that the pri-
soner, Mrs. Fair, will not be tried for some
time 70 come. In the first place comes that
disagreeable question Of jurisdiction. Was
the killing committed in San Francisco or
point. The District Attorney Of this cOun-
ty insists that to him belongs the high
moral duty of prosecuting, as the boundary
lines Of the county extend very nearly to
the opposite shore, leaving the whole OF the
bay under San Francisco jurisdiction.
On the other side, the grand jury
of Alameda county have found true
bill of indictment against Laura Fair for
murder. Her CONSUL also elisha Cook is
rather in favor Of having the trial come off
in Oakland, probably for the reason that
Crittenden's antecedents are not so we'll
known in Oakland as here, though for my
part should think that the less that was
known of his antecedents the better for
CrlCCcnQenS pOStnumOuS reputation. LII
the meantime, it was difficult to decide how
this question of jurisdiction is to be settled.
Can it be decided OH writ of habcaS
corpus9 Some lawyers say no; that she
will have to be tried for the crime, and that
this question must come up incidentally.
Then comes the question, if she be tried in
Alameda county, and it be found that that
county has not the Jurisdiction, may she
be tried again in the county that the Su-
preme Court decides has? All these ques-
lions are puzzling, but seem to be much in
favor of the oulprit. The grand jury OF
this county does not convene until next
matters ii they also find bill against her,
which they probably will.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The San Domin-
90 commission is now complete. Mr.. Wade
is to be chairman of the commission, and
Prof. bndrew White, of Cornell' Univer.
sity, and DR.. Samuel G. Howe, of Boston,
are the other members. Hon. Allan G.. Bur-
ton. of Kentucky, is secretary. He was
formerly United States Minister to Bolivia,
and is a gentleman of high attainments.
The commission, as now formed, is gene
rally spoken of here with favor, and, in view
of the fact that the President has never met
any of the gentlemen appointed except MIR
Wade, it is conceded that he has acted with
the single purpose of having the resolutions
of Congress carried out in good faith. -
