SKNAl'K. Washington, December S. Bills were introduced by Mr. Wilson to prevent assessments of money upon Government employees for political and othr purposes. By Jlr. Morion, providing all elections of President and Vice-Pre.-ideut and members of Congress, to be by ballot. .Mr. Morton explained that the bill was intended to apply to Kentucky, and pcr hatis to one or two other States, where elections were viva voce. At 12:40 p. m., the Senate went into executive session, lasting 40 minutes, at- ter whieh the list of etanding committees of the Senate, as agreed on by Senato rial caucus, was presented and confirmed. Adjodrned. norm Several bills were introduced ami referred. House agreed by'.4 to 9J, to adjourn over from to-day until Monday. I non motion the Schenck tanlt lull and internal revenue bill of last session, were taken from tlie calendar of the committee of the wl.ohs an I re com mitted to the committee of ways and means. The HVuve resumed the consideration of the bill to revise and consolidate the postal laws, the question being on an amendment of Farn.sworth abolishing the f ranking privilege. A long discusfion ensued, which closed by the previous question on the amend ment by Mr. Ferry to strike out the bun drcd dollar section was agreed to, and the amendment, as amended, was then rejected; yeas, 70; nays, 102. Mr. Hill moved to strike out all the sections of the bill relating to the frank ing privilege as being equivalent to its abolition. Agreed to. Yeas, y.) ; nays, 7'.). Mr. II ill moved an additional sec tion, declaring that no person should hereafter exercise the franking privilege.

The death ofKobert Kidgway. late member from Va. was announced, nnd eulogistic remarks were made by Mc Kenzie, Maynard, Brooks, of New York, and Booker. The House then adjourned till Monday. MrRIEKR C.H'Tl'KEi). ArroKt of Jacob Stowp, Who Killed tlio Mierltrof Io ( nib fonnly in ISG5. In lN')., Joseph Dranscomb, Sheriff of Do Calb county was shot down in the streets of Maysiville by a man named Jacob Stotle. "Stofle was backed by some fifteen desperadoes', who.detied all attempts o f the citizens to arrest him, and he escaped. . A short tiina since it was ascertained that Stoflo was in Humboldt, Kansas atid the citizens of Maysviile determined to capture him and bring him to justice. Accordingly they obtained a requisition from the Governor, and Capt. James Kwart foluntecred to proceed- to llum bolt on the dangerong mission. Tn Kansas a Sheriif and posse were detailed to assist him, and they proceded to liumloldl. As soon as the object ot their vi-it was noised abroad, a number of Store's friends collected and attmpted to prevent the arrest by, force. Capt. Ewart and his party moved directly up on their works, and desperate conflict ensued, in which Stofle was wounded five times and eventually captured The serious nature of his wounds preventing his removal, he was left in jail to await his recovery, after which he will be brought to le Calb county and held to answer to tho charge of murder. Capt. Ewart passed through the city yesterday, on his return to Maysville. To see his stalwart proportions and de termined countenance, is to le convinced that whatever he undertakes - he will carry out. 'Vhen Stotle attempted to intimidate James Ewart with pistols, he manifested his ignorance of the character of the man with whom he had to deal. St. Jo. Union. How to Kill Town. Some one makes the following excel lent suggestion : If you wbh to kili a town, put up no more buildings than you arc obliged to occupy yourself. If you should have any empty building and any one would wish to rent it, ask about three times its value. Look at every new comer with a scowl. Turn a cold shoulder to every business man and me chanic who seeks a home among you. Go abroad for j our wares, rather than purchase from your own merchants and manufacturers at the same price. Kef use to adveitise, so that persons at a distance will not know that any busi ness is being done in rour city. A prompt and close observance of these rules will ruin any town in two years. Cli'cogo J2"itl Estate Joiirmd. Important to Noltllfr Any officer, soldier or marine can now obtain a homestead of 1G0 acres. And this tract fur every such ierson will be double the value ot other selections made under the homestead law. By an amendment to the Army bill it is pro vided that any person who served honorably ninety dajs in either the United States during the rebellion, aiid has sine? remained Joya!, may enter a quarter section along any of the lines of railway to winch Congress has made a grant of land, the selection to be made from the even numbered sections. As the minimum price of such lands is fixed at $2 50 per acre, the homesteads thus given to soldiers are of double pecuniary value, besides being upon lines of rail road, many of which are now open, and from which other- pre-euiters are as yet excluded. Real Estate, Hailroad and Business G u idc. That :t,iOO Klnuiter. We have already alluded to the base insinuation of the Platte Valley Inde pendent, that Senator Thayer had at tempted to bribe a member of the Leg islature, by an offer of $3,000; and the alleged reply of said member that he was not for sa!e. The statement was put forthin ambiguous phrase, on pur purposc to allow room for equivocation. Wc were authorized to make as broad an 1 as explicit a denial as the cae admits of; and nave since demanded, as justly due, a substantiation of the charge or a retraction. We now learn that Gen. Thayer re quested K. W. Arnold, Esq., of Grand Island, to call and demand of the editor his authority for the statement- We have seen the reply of Mr. Arnold, who called in company with Hon. II. A. Koenig and Hon. John Wallichs. The editor refused to give his authority, be cause his knowledge came through a pri vate conrcrsation. lie said that the member did not reside in that district, and tho offer was not made there ; but he would see the parties soon and con suit with them ns to giving their names. Mr. Mobley also claimed that the arti cle referred to dots not contain a specific clinrge of an nttcmjit to bribe, a Stale Si natnr, and does not state who t service such State Senator is required to render. It is meaner and baker because of its attempt to produce a false impression without couching it in frank and explicit phrase. The statement was copied here ami lias since been reiterated as if it had been made without any su-h covert dodge. Any man's reputation may be stabbed in this way. It is an utter perversion of tho rights of the press to make it the vehicle of such unsupported personal slanders. The editor of the Independ cut owes it to himself, to Gen. Thayer and justice and truth to substantiate his charge or withdraw it as publicly a; he made it.. Omaha Republican. Important Decision. A decision in insurance of much import anee to business men, was given at New York within the last two or three days. It was an action to recover 5000 on a verbal contract of reinsurance, which the International Insurance Company alleged was made by the defendants, the Man hattan Insurance Company, on Septem ber HGtli, 1SG. It appeared that a broker was instructed by the plaintiffs to procure for them a reinsurance to the ex tent of $5,000 on each of the steamers Sheridan and Montgomerj-, then on the voyages from New York to New Or leans. The broker applied to the Man hattan Insurance Company for the rein surance, and, as he testified, they agreed to t;ike the risks. The marine manager of the defend ants claimed that the agreement was not to be considered as complete or valid un til written applications were signed and sent into the company, which was to have been done on the afternoon of the iyth. Before the applications were sent in, news was received of the loss of the Sheridan, and on application being made, the defendant refused to issue the policy. The judge charged the oral contract of insurance was valid, if made, and the ony question was whether the minds of (he parties were agreed to the making. The jury found a verdict for jth plain tiffs for the full amount claimed, with interest, making in all $0,424. Chicago Commercial JJulletin. Invest in Ileal Estate. It may not be so quick a return, but it is doubly sure. In the products of the sod all wealth has its origin. The in dustrious farmer must always have a market for his wares. What he has to bell are the actual necessaries of life, and he who does not produce them must ob tain theui ot him who docs. Whatever may be a man's business, however much money he may control, lie must look to the tiller of the soil for that which will sustain life. There may be local derangements, but on the whole there is of necessity a market for every important product, and the producer must always be sure of his living, at least, as he is the owner of the land he cultivates. In every department of life. sunshine and shadow alternate, but if the foundation ails the rum of the su pcrstructuic is inevitable. Tho possession of real estate is a sub stantial capital. It ones title is good, no thief can steal it, it needs no insur ance, policy to make it safe, nothing short of an earthquake can swallow it. A good farm, with rich soil, judiciously managed, whether its commercial gold value go up or down, is still the source ot a cood and comfortable livinff.- Wiiatever else a man may possess, he cannot afford to do without real estate sufficient to make himself and family, if he has one, a good home. Recorder ITackett of New York has decided that a man has a le.iral right to set a trap-gun to catch or kill burglars. Ihe case unon which this decision is based has excit'.d considerable newspa naner comment. A iruusimth had placed a gun loaded with slugs in such a phsition that any one opening his back window would be f-hot. A burglar at temptins to break into his shop was instantly killed, and Mr. Agostino, the trunsuiith. was arrested. But by the de cision of Recorder Ilackett he has been released from custody. As a conseouence of this gun-taps arc in demand for use in stoves containing valuables. And now conies up another question for debating societies Have we the moral right to set these trans? In case of fire the windows may be opened by firemen or policemen. If a hrcman was killed in tlie performance of his duty, would it be justifiable? And if not, is the setting of a trap which may produce this result justifiable : Better to read ona good book care ful v than to read ten carelessly, lie slow to begin to read a book, if it is like Iv you will not have time to fiuish it. Le caretul how you spenu nine in reau in books which are not worth reading. You had better throw away money than time, for time is worth more than mon ey. As a bad man may have a good name, so a bad book may have a good title. At a Columbus (Georgia) marble yard there is a solid block of marble which is to be due out, a metalic coffin placed therein, and the whole, after a corpse is deposited within it, to be hermetically ; sealed above grounu. it te? or ! d.red by a gentlemen in Barbour county I Alabama.
