DIED FROM ARsENIcAI POISON.
From the Hartford Courant.

Out 10 Ohio, at youngstown. . lady who
has been for some time an invalid has lately
died. just before her death she declared
her belief that she had been poisoned, and
asked to be examined. The post mortem
shows, truly enough, plain Traces of arsenic.
Nobody is suspected, and there is no reason
to suspect any one. The deceased belonged
to the great American army of patent med.
icine dosers. and had been accustomed to
swallowing nostrums regularly for years.
1t is thought that abe NAV haye from these
absorbed enough poison to account for the
traces. And before a~rsenicsl evidences
come to be generally accepted as proof of
murdernus poisoning, people will have to
more light on q few dark questions. such as
how much poison these pansceas contain
how much arsenic the system con absorh
from outside; how much it can get from
wall paper. from clothing, etc. how much
is used 10 the burial materials; whether
the earth itself is able 10 impart arsenic
after burial, etc. All these do not apply ia
this Ohio case, but have q general tendency
to throw doubt on arsenic cases ae a class,

the United States Treasury.
Warrington, Feb. T6.-Some interesting
facts appear from the full report of Secre.
tary Sherman's recent interview with the
finance committee of the senate. The sec.
Rotary went very fully nto the cost Of re-
funding in answer to a question proposed
BY Senator Beck. The Law originally ap.
propriated one-half of one per cent to
cover all forms of expenditures in refund.
ing, and under this system $500 OOO, Ol0 Of
5 per cents were sold during the administra.
tons Of Boutwell,, Richards on and Bristow.
at an expense of So 100000. The same
provision existed in the contract made by
Secretary Morrill, for the sale If s3O0,O00
600 AZ Per cents, which was in force
when Mr.. Sherman took charge Of
the the treasury. Under this contract
$l85,000,000 of such bonds was
placed. on which the commission
amounted to $295. 900, M. Sherman
adopted different syetem in selling the 4 per
cents, asauminE the payment of ali expenses.
because he thought he could save something
out of the onehalf per cent allowed By law.
q he did in the summer of1877. After that
when the syndicates we're abandoned, for
there have been no syndicates since 1877,
except ZOE resumption purposes and thef for.
|eisn contract Of January, 1872, all bonds
were sold on public advertisements. There
have been thus sold S740,845,950, and the
whole expense Of placing that amount to
date has been but $2,59l;922, whereas the
one-half per cent allowed by law would have
amounted to- S3,704. 229, or considerably
over . million dollars more. AT first banks
were allowed . commission of one-fourth
per cent, the treasury paying all the ex.
penaes, and nnder this aystem abnut Sl25..

cur with the majority of the committee ON
Territories in bringing forward the Kansas
Nebraska bill, but majority of the commit
tee decided to report 1t, whereupon Mr..
English, on the a1st of January, 1864, made
minority report. Both the House and

minority report, contained provision 'that

States which are not locally inapplicaple
shall have the sams force and effect within
the said Territory as elsewhere in the United

tory to the admission of Missouri into the
Union, approved March, 6, 1929, which was su:

Mr.. English proposed to strike out this
exception and insert the following:
Provided that nothing In this act shall be so
construed ~ to prevent the people of said terri
tory, through the properly constituted leg,sIa-
tive authority, from passlng such laws In rela-

RETIREMENT FROM CONGRESS.

NSAA0h"ENA 34SOn OONdhES5s
After the passage of the "English bill'' q
very determined effort was made to prevent
Mr.. English's reelection to Congress, but he
was returned by q larger majority than ever.
There had been no change inithe boundaries
of his district, but his career, in this as in
everything else, had been upward and on
ward, his majority gradually increasing at
each election from 400 in 1852 to 1000 in
1858, and this at time when Democratic
congressman were almost swept out of exis-
tence in the northern States. At the close
Of the Thirty-sixth Congress-, and when in
the full meridian of success, never having
been defeated before the people, and with
fair prospect Of being advanced to still
higher political honors, he retired from Con-
grees and active political life as an Office
holder. As chairman of the committee on
resolutions at the convention of 1864, which
nominated his friend, Michael O. Kerr, for
Congress from his old district, Mr.. English
prepared and reported resolution, which
was adopted, declaring:
''Ihat We are now, as We ever have been,
unquall6edly in favor of the union of the
States under the constitution, and stand
ready, as we have ever stood heretofore, to
do everything that loyal and true citizens
should do to maintain that union under the
constitution, and to hand it down to our
children unimpaired as we received 1t from
our fathers.''
To these sentiments Of loyalty to the
union Mr. English firmly and consistently ad-
hered throughout the struggle. his fidelity
never wavered, nor did his doubts ever gain
an aseendanoy over his convictions that the
union would be preserved.
