TIM HIT RLE V endeavored to slip in a biil by handing it to the Clerk to be entered on the journal and then sent to the Railroad Committee, which looked to the construction of the "New York, Norfolk and Charleston Railway." The newspaper reporters nosed it out however. It is being e jgineered by a young man from Philadelphia, who, it is stated, has a plenty of money to pay its way through, and may, perhaps, succeed in having it passed. THE FINANCIAL AGENT. The beatific cherub, Kimpton, it seems, is to be stirred up. by the commencement of proceedings against him by the Attorney General. We hope the Financial Agent will be brought to a showing and something done to get the control of our money. But we doubt the practicability of the present scheme. THE LAND COMMISSION. It appeared in the course of debate last week, that two tracts of land in Darlington county were sold to the State for $18,000, and warranty deeds made by John Lunney and R J. Donalds n, the vendors. One of the tracts has been settled by poor farmers, when it suddenly turns out that mortgages to the amount of $4,500 are held of the the land. Whittcmore asktr an appropriation to pay the mortgages. After considerable debate. Senator Dunn offered a resolution that Lunny and Donaldson be proceeded against both civilly and criminally in connecti'iii with their >wiudle above recited.? The entire matter wa? laid over uutil M<<n| day. .the -7lh instant. DKADLV WEAPONS.

There is one. however, which we omitted to state, and which we regard as exceedingly commendable. It is a bill to provide for the registration, after July 31, 1873, ofall births, deaths and marriages. Many good purposes will be thereby served, aud it will be easy to ascertain the ratio of increase or decrease of the population. Lydia Sherman. This woman has been convicted of the murder of her third husband, Horatio N. Sherman, and sentenced to imprisonment for life therefor. Perhaps there is no instance on record of a woman who has committed as many murders as she has, if we are to believe the story which has been published, as coming from her own lips. The details are horrible in the extreme, and servo to show to j what depths of degradation and infamy it is possible for huuian nature to descend. When about twenty years of age she married a man named Struck, with whom she lived about four years, when Struck was discharged from the Metropolitan police force, for alleged neglect of duty. They had several children. Alter his discharge Struck seemed to h ive lost his interest in It-' life and becoming s;ck. f'x>k to hi* bed. win v he remained a I"iig* time, under what ntruicd u? have been an aberration of intellect. Iii> wife was advised, she .says, to put him oi? f t the way b? ad minister in ir arsenic if) his loo i I iiis -ho did and In* so'u died ^-h. then t'ei: vcrv much discouraged ami flown h'Mrted and cm dnded 'hat ir Would lie l? -.t t ? put her 'w > yonn rer children out ot tii. way ais i S sin r ive them areontc ^ fii?* S'I ? fifi/1 Uli.i i 1 |*?,1 ^(Ulll wards h <- i 1' -t >ti became sick ami she !? 111 ,'1 LT " 'A bc'-^inr b'T'l^fi i?U her ' S . 11 km i h !'l i> f iv i d.iujdii irs, tiii' lu-^o i' neb to h k oni. ami out* vorv n< iti'l I ' ii ?? !' ?ho eld <o t i M ul liiv lilt io one, she and her eldest daii^litor c>uld support theuistdves. so she dosed poor little \mi Kliza with a little nrseiiir and she t was ijiiietly put out of th" way Soon after. Lvdia. the solo surviving girl, sickened and died, though her mother declares she did not poison her, tut that she died ii natural death. Not long afterwards, she married a Air. Ilurlburt, who turned out to be a drunkard, ^ anil she quietly administered arsenic to hiui so tlfai he died Very soon afterwards, she met with Mr. Sherman : they itrnv intimate, and Sherman t M her of some debts he owed. and she ient him all the unmcy she hi?d. whereupon they were married. Sherman sxm alter\?uidr expressed a wish that his sun was dead, whereupon Mrs. S. experimented upon hi.- iceble constitution with arsenic anil poor I'ranky fell a victim. Mr. Sfcertnan turned out to be a horrible | drunkard. lie spent all that she o??uM make and would not work himself. Just at thi< time. Sherman's daughter, Ada. took sick and required a stimulant, which was pro cured, but Sherman drank it all up. as fast as it was brought to the house, and Mrs Sherman determined to get rid of this pest also. So she gave poor Ada arsenic in her tea and she very quietly died. Sherman then took the Temperance pledge, but soon broko it and went off on a tremenduous spree, to meet the expenses of which he sold their piano and stayed away several days. When he came back, he stayed sober one day and then got drunk again. In a day or two, however, he became sick, and she put some arsenic in brandy and gave 1- v:_ IT- I? :Ji~ ??1 it lu mill. lie uutuuie lapiuij nuiae onu in two days ho was dead. The physicians held a post mortem examination, took out a part of his stomach and had it analyzed. Upon the result of this analysis, she was arrested and brought to trial, with the result indicated. The woman now professes to have become penitent and to enjoy the pleasures of a re ligious life. If any person needed repentence, it would certainly be Mrs. Sherman. Washington Correspondence. "Washington, Jan. 18. THE ELECTORAL COI.LEGE. Senator Morton made his promised speech yesterday on the defects of the present electoral system, and had the resolution passed instructing the committee on privileges and,, elections to examine the s'jbiect and submit a remedy. So far as abolishing the cumbersome machinery of electoial colleges, there is stgneral hearty concurrence; but with regard to the direct vote for President, there is considerable doubt as to its wisdom, notwithstanding its* twemiug fairness. As Mr. Trumbull retnarloed ' this U not a Democracy; i; is a llcpublic. rud it never wa-^ intended that the majority "hould rule in tiery thing;'if this vms uuee eommened ire w old end in Despotism.*" The Cbinmittee to which this rjucstioii has boon referred is composed of Morton, chairmau, Carpenter, 'Anthonv, Loguu.

The ship-build ing interest is pleased with the bill, as it gives the Secretary of the Navy authority j to alfow private ship builders to compete with the Government yards in tho construe- j tion of the vessels. POSTAL TELEGRAPH. The very important question of the union ' of the telegraph with the postal service will ' be considered in the Senate next week, upon a bill and report that received the unanimous vote of the Senate Postoffice Commit- < tee. It is claimed that the facilities will be greatly increased by making all postoffices on or near the telegraph circuits postal tele- \ graph offices. This will give from 5,000 to ( 8,000 new officers without discontinuing any ] of the old ones. The rates will be reduced to one-half, and the length of the message t innronnprl nvpr 80 npr ppnt nrirl fnr 9.^ r><?n*o I tllv, vw.,vv* V<v? wv k/v* ?W? VW a mcssago of 25 words can be sent at rvight j .1,000 miles. The rates to the press will be ( reduced to as great an extent, and for 75 , cents 100 words can be sent 500 nr.ilcs. The system will be in harmony with t^e mail ser- j vice, letters and telegrams be\ng received and delivered through the po9'?uffices; trans- \ in it ted between offices by cop tractors,owning ' and operating lines of rail?.0ad or telegraph, 1 at rates fixed by Congrer,a. This plan Vill 1 will give cheap telegraphy, without cost to the government, as tb'j postage of five ccuts to be paid on each telegram will cover all 1 expenses. I find that many Democratic ' members of Cong/ess favor this measure? some on its own merits, and others because i they believe if this plan is not now adopted, 1 government telegraph will be forced upon the country next year, and every Democratic j member prefers this plan to that. 1'rotn : i nr?ent indications.this bill will be acted on i III I r.ri'.Ki d :n I s.hr.r? tin 'mit #rt !

This electioneering machine is in a bad condition.

Of course nothing will be dono in the matter. The Senate would indeed have a spasmodic fit of honesty to expel Caldwell for so small and unusual a peccadillo as purchasing a seat in the United States Senate. two cent letter postage, was unanimously recommended by the House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads yesterday, and Mr. Farnsworth, the Chairman, will prepare a bill at once, and also to require pre payment on all printed matter, ex cept weekly papers in counties whero now printed, which will not be affected 8an domingo.
