Wilb very great respect, I am, Sir, j Your obedient servant, t W. S, FHANKL1N, L Clerk, Ho. lisp. V. S. \ Hon. Isaac Hill, U. S. Senate. I (c.'pv.) i 0$?t Usasc of RzprtftnietUfJ, U \ I ** J r Aaril 6 1:530 S i Sir: I entered this office a yo*jth? under j John Beckicy, who was the first Clerk ol the House of Representatives under the present Constitution of theU. S. and who died in the year 1SJ7. During the recess of Congress, ho put rr.e at what is termed "recording the Journal ' of the preceding session, which was to write it oil" from the printed copy into a hi gc bound volume. I enquirsu of him why it was, that it was copied when there were so many printed copies?he answered that the printed copies would probably in lime disappear from use, dee.?the large M. S. volume would- not. The "Rough Journal," as it was then termed, and is! still termed, being the original rough draft read in the House 0:1 Use morning after uf w!rirh it narrate* th*? nrnrrml. ingft. was nqt, and had not, from the beginning, becu preserved. 1 enquired ibe! reason, and was answered that the printed j copy was the official copy, as it was prin- J ted under the special order of the House ?and as errors, which were sometime* i discovered in the Kough Journal, were; corrected in the proofs of the printed co-; py, the printed copy was the most correct ?and that therefore there was no u?? in ! lumbering the offire with the 'iRough \ Journal" after it had been printed. j Two of Mr. Buckley's immediate sue-' ccsscrs in office, Mr. Magrudcr and Mr.' Dougherty, viewed the matter as Mr. j llcckley viewed it. I kuaw die fact, from i having called their attention to the subject. I often reflected upon the subject, and it appeared to me to he proper that thj "Rou^b Journal" should be preserved; j al.hough I could not sec any purpose j whatever to be answered by doing so. I often conversed with the clerks of the office upon the subject; but as we wercoulv subordinates, the practice was not changed ( till 1st session of the t&h Congress.! (1823-4.) when I deter..ined, without consulting my superior, that the "Hough Journal*' uhould no longer be thrown > away, bn* be prcserred and bound in ro? lames, and it has been reguiarly prcscrved and bound since. With great respect I am Sir, Yonr obedint servant, 8. BURC1T. Col Walter S. Franklin, C. 11 of R U. S. From the Jf. Y. Sandar Morning News Horrible murder and arson.?One of the most horrible and atrocious murders which has ever disgraced this city was cotnmited on the person of a female named Helen Jewett, a girl of the town, of which by Richard P. Robinson, a young man io the employ of Joseph Ifoxie, a respectable merchant of thi* city. i< accused.? Thisuuirder was perpetrated on the mor ning of Sunday last, between the hours of twelre and three, at a notorious house of ill fame, kept by one Rosina Totrnsend. Prnm ika lkrwi<?n.t <(ifT.r/>?< ? ? ?MV W?MV?VU? I UillVUI 9 UU j this affair, we hare culled the following.! which we belicrc to be as near the truth as possible: It appears tint Robinson was in the habit of risiting M ii Jcwett under the assumed nam: of Frank Kircts, and on the creningin question called at the house between nine and ten, aod enquired for Helen. lie was admitted by the landlady and immediately went up to Helen's room with her. Nothing was heard of them until elcren o'clock, when, at the request of Helen, the landlady brought a bottle of champagne into the room. 8hc stales that Robinson was Iv ing in bed, apparently reading, that the girl was in her robt dc nuix, though she had not retired to bed. About three o'clock in the morning, the keeper of the honsc was roused from her bed by a person who was in the habit of frequently risiting one of the boarders. &hc arose for the purpose of admitting him. and to her surprise found in the bark parlour a lamp burning which she < immediately recognized as belonging to Helen, antf the door leading from the par-, lour into the yard was opened. Huppo i in < ikil ikn ?! ? ??- - ? ' ? ? >>? ? ? ? iuv gin was in uif jam, snr called ber repeatedly, but received no aruwcr, proceeded to ber room. On opening the door, she wan almost suflo- j rated by an i;nmcn?o quantity of smoke; which rushed out. She instantly alarmed the inmates of the house, and running to the atrcel door, called for the watch, who \ve:s soon on the spot. They sprang up ! stairs and extinguished the flames, wnich > had done but hliie damag.- excepting to j the bed on which lay the lifeless body ofthe unfortunate II ;cn Jewnt. At tirst it wis supposed ut she was suflocalcd, but on making i closer examination, a large and lrigiitt .il ga.?h was found on her right | temple, about three inches in length. I which had penetrated deep into her br.tiu and must have instantly deprived her of ex-1 istence. It was evidently made by a sharp instrument in shape of an axe or Inlchet. j There was another wound on the upper j portion of her f?rehead, made by the j same weapon. The bed a id bedding was nearly constimnf, and the body of the j unfortunitc girl was considerably burned. ( A hatchet stained with fresh blood was; found in the yard, and in the adjoining yard a cloth cloak was liscorcrcd which llie prisoner wore on iheeveui.ig in question. A piece of twine was found attached to one ??f the tisvcU of the cloak which in size and appearance corrcsnon ded with the one on the hatchet.
