The room in which they lived was furnished with two or three old chairs, a table, and other trifling articles, and in the centre of the floor was the bed, provided with plenty of clothing. A neighbour states that he had got it into his head' that he and his wife would be taken to the workhouse, to which he had a great objection ; and others state that during the past week or so he had behaved more roughly than usual towards his wife. There seems no reason to doubt, from the condition in which the razor was found, with the cord round the handle and the blade secured, that he had premeditated the murder. Hannah Goulder, who was the first neighbour attracted to the house after the occurrence, says that she saw the old man as he was taking the razor from his own throat, and on asking, What have you done?' he replied with violent language, Go to -.' "  ment would be administered in the interests of the masses of the people, and not to favour a privileged class. But it ere long became evident that Louis PHILIPPE, a member of the House of Bourbon, and one of the highest of the ancient nobility, listening to evil counsellors, was leaning more and more towards exclusive legislation for the aristocratic classes, and that he was forgetting popular rights. Again, the French people rose almost as one man in 1848, and LOUIS PHILIPPE, without a single advocate to defend his cause, fled a fugitive from the kingdom.  my vote, not because I approve it in the abstract, but because I think I see in it a mode of rescuing the country from the perilous predicament in which it is now placed."

If one could have believed the reports in the Irish papers, Mr. John Morrissey ought now to be in an Irish prison instead of in his place in Congress.

Although he was not arrested, and did not faint as alleged, he has probably bad quite enough of fighting, and naturally prefers to enjoy his pile of greenbacks in Washington and New York to taking part in abortive risings, which might end on the gallows. The President was constrained to sign the bill depriving him of his power as Commander-in-Chief of the Army, as it was tacked to the Act making appropriation for the support of the army and other purposes. The following is Mr. Johnson's protest that he did so under coercion : " To the House of Representatives— " The Act entitled ' AR Act making appropriation for the support of the army for the year ending June 30, 1868, and for other purposes,' contained provisions to which I must call attention. These provisions are contained in the second section, which in certain cases virtually deprives the President of his constitutional functions as commanderin-chief of the army, and in the sixth section, which deny to the states of the Union their constitutional right to protect themselves in any emergency by means of their own militia. These provisions are out of place in an appropriation act. lam compelled to defeat the necessary appropriations if I withhold my signature from the bill.
