Fl1afer Pound.

The body Of an unknown man was found
about o'clock this morning in the Ohio
River, just below the Buckeye House, near
Andersons Ferry, about nine miles from
this city, by fisherman named William
Turning
The latter was just about pulling up his
net, when the body got entangled in it. 1t
seems that it had been in the water for a
great length of time, as all the hair on the
scalp and face had been taken off by the ac-
ton of the water. The man had no shirt
on, and his pants were partially gone.

CONCERNING WILIs.-The Newburyp0rf
Herald takes the ground that the power Cd
dead men over the estates they are obliged
to leave behind them should be taken frona
them; that the living should manage such
affairs, and that at the death Of man whs
has accumulated property distribution
should be made and that the public should
say how it shall be made.
To this suggestion the New Bedford Mcr-
curry answers:
1t is folly to talk about the dead man hav-
ing power over property. The disposition
of property by will is the act of the living
man, and why should it not be as effective
as deed or gift consummated at once.
There is such a tendency ON the part of
Legislators nowadays to restrict private
rights, that so crude and radical PROPOSE
ton as that of the Ncwbusyport Herald
may. find favor with the Lawmakers. In
our Judgment, it would be an approach te
communism.

surprise, even in Administration circles.
The nomination was not made out at the
Department, as is the rule with all appoint,
at the White House and sent direct to the
Senate without any notice being sent to the
Treasury. Secretary Sherman may have
been advised of the fact, but no other mem
Der of the Cabinet had any knowledge of it.
The fact that Governor Packard left here
last night for New Orleans is taken as evi-
dence that he has given up the fight and
augurs favorably for Smiths confirmation.
