Kansas City, February 24.?McTutt, who, with Winner, murdered and burned a painter named Saviors, . at Wioheta, Kansas, in December last, has confessed his crime. He says Winner persuaded him long ago to enter upon a course of orime, and planned tbe whole affair. MoNntt was to have bis life insured for $5,000, and then kill and burn some viotim and palm off the body At first thoy intended to commit tbe orime in Kansas Oily, but finally con? cluded to go to Wioheta, thinking their escape would be easier there. Being painters, the men started business, and soon built up a fine trade. They were delayed, however, from oarrying out their plan for want of a viotim; but Winner at last casae to Kansas Oity, en? gaged Saviers to work for them and sent him down. They met him at the depot, ^ on his arrival at Wicheta, aud took bim to tbe shop, no one knowing anything about it, made him drunk and then gave him other until unconscious. They then put his face over the fire nnd burned it till it oonld not bo reoognized, and laid him on a bed saturated with coal oit. McNutt then cut a gash iu Winner's arm with a pair of scissors, opened a vein in Saviors' arm, took out a^uart of blood aud sprinkled it ovor Wiuner, to make it- appear he had bled a good deal. McNutt then left his vest aud empty pocket-book bnok of the house, where it would appear that robbers had dropped it, and took tho train via Atohiaon for Missouri.

They then got over the walls by means of two short ladders tied to? gether, which they brought with thsm. They carried off with them E.

Success can bo assured by assuring pub? lic opinion to ? mportance of the occasion. To ..cure this end, in his judgment, Congressional legislation is necessary to make tbe exposition both national and international. The Senate, to-day, aoutinued the financial debate, Messrs. Merrimon, Sherman, Allison und Morton taking part. There was a sharp discussion be? tween Morton and Sohurz, growing out of the debate of yesterday, in which Morton said Schure did not understand the conutry in wbioh he lived. Iu re? ply to Morton, to-day, Sohurz said Morton mudo misstate meats, notorious and wilful. Morton retorted by charac? terizing the argameut of Sohurz as dis? ingenuous.

Philadelphia, February 25.?Tho se cr>! d edition of the Medical Times says: "On Friday, tbe commission contiuued the autopsy upon tho Siumcso Twins, aud made some important discoveries. They found that the two livers, which were supposed to be joined only by blood vessels, were really one body, the parenohimatos tissue being continuous between them, so that when they were removed from the bodies and placed on tbe table, they formed one muss. Tho so-called teact of portal continuity is, therefore, liver tissues. It will be re? membered that Chang was said to be possessed of one more pouch than Eng. When the liver was removed, however, ?? nnnnr henatia pouch was found also proceeding from Eng; so thai the baud contained four pouches of peritoneum, besides the liver tissue. These disclo? sures show that an}' attempt, daring life, to separate the twins, would, in all probability, have proved fatal.

He says the effect was magical; that be bad not been free from rheumatic gout for fifteen year*; and that he began to improve immediately after the application of the insulators. ''We are reminded by this statement,"' says tbo Scientific American, "of a pateut obtaiued through this office for a physician, some twolve or more years ago, which created considerable interest at the time. The patent consisted in placing glass cups under tho bed-posts in a similar manner to the above, aud tho "patentee claimed to bavo effected some remarkable cures by the use of his glass insulator. Ticuborne's End Approaching. ? A verdict in the trial of Tichborue in Eng? land for perjury, in asserting his pre? tended heirship to aristocratic estates, may now bo speedily expeoted. It is about time. Lord Chief Justice Cock burn begun bis charge on tbe 30th of January, which was tho 170th day of tbe triul. The closing speech -for tbe prosecution by the learned attorney, air. nawkius, occupied tun nays, aud is said to have been a masterpiece of cool, analytical reasoning npou tbe evidence presented, iu entire contrast with the frothy aud rumbling character of Dr. Kenealy's argument for the defence. The jury, from whom we must soon bear, is said to be a wonderful jury. There arc fifteen foreigners in Con? gress. In tbo Seuato, Curl Schurz, of Missouri, is a native of Cologne, Ger? many. The other foreigner iu the Se? nate is JoneB. a Welshman by birth, and as bo is worth ?7,000,000, be very appropriately bails from Gold Hill, Ne? vada. In the House, the United King? dom is well represented, tberobeing five Irishmen, four Scotchmen, two Eng? lishmen, (one of whom is Elder Can? non, of Utah,) a Canadian, and a Mexi? can, who, instead of being a sonorous Don Something or Anotbor, signs him? self "Buokner," like Twain's landlady, who "was an Italian by the namo of Murphy." Out of five children which composed the family of John Jacob Astor, one oujy romains. This is William E., who is now upwards of eighty. He is now one of tho oldest native-born residents of New York, aud has neon a wonderful sories of changes. He oan remember the first steamboat which groeted bis boyish eyes when ho was a youth of fourteen, and ho has seen tbe city in? crease from 30,000 to a population of more than 1,000,000. He has also seen bis father's estate expand from $20,000 to $50,000,000.

He shaved one side of bis head, stuck a black feather behind his oar, aud started his followers ou tho'war path. A member of tho Chicago Board of Aldermen has been converted to tem? perance. This remarkable conversion is duo to tho singular eloquence of u medical gcntlemuu of that city, who, during the course of a privato lecture he was delivering, remarked to the al? derman that if ho ever took another driuk of whiskey, it would '/laud him heels upwards into Hades in less than two minutes and-a-hulf." The amazonian wife of a Dublin, Ire laud, plasterer recently beat her bus baud, aud subsequently borsowhippod an editor, in whoso newspaper au ob? jectionable ascouut of hor first aotion-at arms was published. The present year will probably see tbe completion of a commercial directo? ry of tbe world, whioh gives an accouut of the state of trade uud the names of I the traders in every town iu every country. A Nova Scotia woman was lately tried in Portland for having two husbands, aud no one thought of urging in her do fenoe the name of the town she came from?Pictou.

Prospects for Spring Trade.?A Now York exoharjge says that in re? sponse to an inquiry of u leading dry goods jobber, as to trade prospects, be said, "tbe season is at least tbree weeks bebind time," but, be added, if the weather is fair, tbe next fow days ought to bring in our oountry customers. An? other attributed tbo prevailing disposi? tion to defer purchases to the uncer? tainty which still hangs over the ques? tion of inflation or contraction iu Con? gress. If the latter policy is to prevail, it is believed lower prices will follow, aud as no one likes to b? caught with a large stock of goods on hand, the ex? planation of tbe non-appearance of oountry customers is intelligible. Farewell to the Astor House.? About tho 1st of May next, the Astor Houso, New York, as a hotel will cease to exist, and the square, frowning, hos? pitable old building will be given into tuo bauds of the artisan for transforma? tion into a block of offices. The Astor House is tbe last of the old Now York hotels, (nut of the taverns,) and the first of tbo uew. It has been making its reputation for forty years, and the new palaces have not orippled or oven touched it. A New Feature for Railroad Ta? riffs.?It is said to be a fact, iu sup? port of which there aro abundant proofs, that tho railroad companies are actually in tbe habit of exacting tbe same price for transporting a person weighing only 100 pounds that they exact for trans? porting over the Bame distance a person weighing 200 pounds. That this is an "extortion" seems to need no proof. In Wisconsin it is proposed that tho Le? gislature shall interfere and put a stop to this mode of extortion. More Bad Effects of Coal Gas.? At St. Patrick's Church, in Cambridge, Washington County, N. Y., on Sunduy last, during the services, several per? sons were overcome by suffocation by coal gas in the chureh, and bad to be carried into the parsonage. The con? gregation was dismissed, an 1 on reach? ing the open air Bomo of the. dropped down along the roadside. They were ull resuscitated, however, and noeeriouo consequences followed. Trouble Brewing in Louisiana.? Tbe New Orleans Picayune, of the 19tb inst., says that iu tho last few weeks, iov. Kellogg has received a nnmber of letters Lorn tbo country, stating that trouble is ou foot between the white and colored people. This is founded, not upou political grounds, but on the fact that tho plantors are compelled this year to pay very low wages, whioh, it is alleged, tho negroes refuse to receive, and threaten to compel planters to pay their rates. Incendiarism ?Oa Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, the store of Mr. Penn, at the fifteen mile post, on tho Georgia Railroad, wus discovered to bo on fire. While tho attention of all present was absorbed with the burning store, u dwelling houso u short diktauoe from fho storo was also wrapped in flames. Both buildiugs were entirely consumed. The fires wero evidently tbo work of au incendiary. Tho ladies in Ohio who have joined in the crusade against the saloon-keepers havo somo little difficulties to contend witb. A suloou-keopcr in that State re? cently had timely warning that tbe ladies were coming to bold a prayer meeting in bis saloon.

Dr. Reuling, of tho Maryland Eye und Ear Iustitnto, ouo of the eminent ocu? lists, writes that tho disease known us Egy ptiau or granular inflammation of the eyes is spreading rapidly through the United States. It sometimes causes blindness und is very contagious. The bnsiuess of tho Patent Office if now larger in amount than at any pre vious period of its history. During tbe past two weeks, tbo unprecedented number of 1,232 applications for pntenb have been received. This is believed indicative of a revival of general busi ncss throughout tbo country. Chicago divorce lawyers are so bus} now that uuwly married couples ar* said to cug igo attorneys at their wed? dings, guaranteeing to give them em ploymout within ouo year. St. Louit people ure said to be rivaling Chicago, by promising a case under six months from tbo wedding day.
