Mr.. JOHN BIsHoP returned from Pitts
burgh last evening, from attendance on
family council, and we understand that
the copy Of the will received from Eng
land shows that a handsome sum will
fall to each one Of his fathers heirs
The dividend in each case promises
to be a snug little fortunc-perhaps
$4,000 apiece for the eight heirs
The uncle leaving this handsome
property was a Mr.. William Bishop,
who resided at "Chepstow Villas, West
Noting Hill, county Of Middlesex, Lon
don" and who died without children at
90 years OF age. He seems to have been
a thrifty careful and exact old gentleman
and his will bears evidence Of a charita'
bic disposition, inasmuch as he gives a
thousand pounds apiece to several hospit-
ais, a thousand to the society for the pre-
vention OF cruelty 10 animals, and a
thousand to the "Clerk's fund" in the
Coutts bank. He also very particularly
remembers his old housekeeper, to whom
he left his house, and all its contents, in
cluding the wine in his cellar, and also
1000 pounds in money. He further pro-
vides that when she dies she shall be bur
led in his:vault, curiously remarking in
his will that he thinks this respect sis due
to her for her long and hope and believe
faithful, services to me-"
After disposing Of about $4,000 in
legacies, including E5OO to each OF the
partners in the Coutts Bank, and $4,000
to his barrister, he proceeds to bequeath
to "thc children and descendants (per
stirpes) OF my late brother Richard
Bishop, OF Pittsburgh, United States oI
America, alive at my decease, in equal
proportions, and as tenants in common
the rest, residue and remainder Of th'

Mr.. Edmunds called up the bill to re.

disabilities imposed by tho lith amend
ment to the Constitution.
Mr.. Cameron moved to amend by ad-
ding the name Of Joseph Johnston, OF
Georgia, man who deserved pardon
Just as much as anybody else.
Mr.. Edmunds said probably the Sena.
tor from Pennsylvania was not conver.
sunt with the method adopted by the com.
mi,tee in granting this relief. The com
mittee insisted upon it that person
should make application for n pardon,
aud then il the committee found the ap'
plicant deserving and had behaved him
sell since the war, they considered the
matter. He asked Mr.. Cameron to with
draw his amendment, and when Mr.. John
ston should make application Tor a par
don il might be taken up.
The amendment was Withdrawn.
Mr.. Whyte moved to amend by insert.
ing the name OF Walter Ii. Jenifer, !Oi
Baltimore.
Mr.. Edmunds said this name was open
to the same objections US the other.
Mr.. Whyte said the gentleman had
made application carly in the session and
the committee had us yet made no report
upon it,
Mr., Edmunds said the application was
in the hands OF the Committee on the
Judiciary and il would stay there until
tho committee got ready TO take it up
and consider il and they would not take
it up out OF its order. When they reach.
ed il in the order Of business they would

The question was taken up, the amend

tion OF the diplomatic bill, question
recurring on restoring Italy, which was

amendment, on restoring several posts
which had been stricken out by the
House, was taken up.
Mr.. Sargent explained that all these
amendments OF the committee were only
conforming to the existing law.
Messrs. Sherman and Hamlin urged the
necessity Of conforming to the. existing
law, and spoke against the general prin'
cipal Of engrafting new laws on the ap'
preparation bills, pending which the Sen
ate went into executive session and soon
adjourned,
