To-day this | was intensified by a most severe pressure of pub- lic leeling. Every man, woman and child was in a state of imeessant mental activity. Business was entirely thrown aside. Merchants, mechantes and professional men deserted their shops and offices to concentrate at the one point that was big with momentous events, The House of Representatives for hours before the time | for the balloting to commence had a continuous stream of people moving to- ward it that filled = every avatlavle space that was not allotted to the members of Assembly. The explosive element was so’ great that but little was required to bring out the most vehement expressions and energetic gesticula- tions, Even grave Judges of the Supreme Court coula only give half their mind to the business on and. Brown and Bates again started in the race for priority—Brown, 17; bates, 16; while Johnson stuod lund Stephens 18. During the calimg of the roll for this ballot Brown arose and said he had done his auty to a portion oj his constituents, and the time had now arrived for the settiing’of this ques- ton, and the way to settle it was to vote tor the candidate receiving the Lighest of number votes now cast, which was Johnson. At this the House seemed to shake with applause. followed by pro- longed cheering tor Andy. The Speaker vainly endeavored to check the unrestrainable ontbvurst, breaking the gavel in his ex- citement. Up to the fourth ballot a sort of interchange balloting between Brown, Bates ang Stephens, ou the fico ballot Johnson rose to his | former highest vote (34) amid enthusiasm, which | had weaker respouse when Brown ran up to 32, while Bates went down to 10 and Ste- puens 9 It was confidently thought that Brown was the coming man.

The sensation was tremendous, an outburst of applause following the announcement ol reading a letter trom Brown which assigned the securing of harmony in the ranks of the democratic conservative party as paramount to all individual considerations, and bis object in withdrawal was heartily applauded.

Smallwood, a Bates man, became 80 excited that he Was prostrated with palpitation of the heart before his name was called to vote, and had to be carried nto the ante-room, this accident prevent- ing Bates’ election. Speaker Bond, who had been a strenuous oppo- nent of Johnson, before voting on this ballot explained that his personal cuoice was Colonel Stephens. ‘The next he chose was Governor Brown. Failing in Brown, and actuated by a de- sire to vote for the good of the country, he now voted for Andrew Johnson. A SCENE OF WILD EXCITEMENT. There were storms of applause on the announce- ment of the ballot. The Whole audience rose to their feet. There were cries for Bates und John- son and prolonged applause and intense excite. ment.

THE REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL CAUCUS. The republican Senators held a caucus to-day, which conunued jor several hours, The chief topic of discussion was the condition of the South, but, there being conflicting views, no result was reached, The caucus, insteaa of giving expression to their views on the Loutsiana question agreed to await the action of the Committee on Privi- leges and Elections on the Pinchback credentials, and will, therefore, be governed in the Senate by the committee's report. Some of the Senators saw no escape from the present difficulites in that State except by remanding it to a terri- torial condition, By this means they could avoid the complications growing out of the official | recognition of the Kellogg government and open @ Way by which order may eventually be re- stored, Others thought that a stronger hand ought to be stretched toward several of the Southern States, otherwise there might be anarchy. There were opinions different from these expressed by the more conservative. All seemed to comprehend the difficulties of the situation, but there was no distinctive plan formally presented as a measure of relief. HOUSE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. There was a large attendance at the House re- publican caucus to-night, and a general discussion as to what was best to be done in vicw of the pres- ent condition of the South; put none of the meas- | ures reported at the previous caucus were acted | upon. Finally a resolution was adopted placing the power of passing all public acts with the majority of the House. A _ resolution for this purpose will probably be introduced in the House on Monday, and when adopted will | have the effect of evading tne two-thirds rule as to public acts, including Civil Rights, the more energetic enforcement of the Protective {laws in the South and authorizing the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in certain cases, together with other meas- ures which have been the subject of consideration by the caucus committee. The proceedings are represented to have been harmonious ana the re- sult entirely satisfactory.

Her husband was at the barn doing his chores, but, hearing the report of a gun, he started for the house and beheld hts wife sitting just as he had left her, except that her head had been severed from the body and blown entirely to pieces, cover- ing the further side of the room with flesn, blood and brains, Partol the skull went through a pane of glass, and with such force as only to break a hole the size of the piece | sent through, A gun lay upon the floor by her side, but her position showed that she couid not have used it, she nolding her needle as if about to take another stitch ta her work, her Spool and scissors remaining in herlap. It 1; not known that any one was about the premises ex- cept an old man named Sawyer, some sixiy years | Ol age, Who has@een arrested on suspicion. THE VICTIM OF THE MURDER was before marriage Miss Alma Merrill, and be- longed to one of the best families in town. She was born in Orford, but bad spent the greater part of her life in Piermont, where she had good educational advantages. For the past six years she had been employed on the Boott Corporation in Lowell. She 1s described by all who knew her as a woman of prepossessing appearance and of many good qualities of mind and character. She was a little below medium height, wita light eyes and clear complexion. In figure she was slender and very graceful. Since her late return to Piermont as a bride she has taken an active part in the social gatherings of the neighborhood and had won many friends, With tact and good taste she had made her own home pleasant and attractive to all who ever vis- ited it. She was in the twenty-fifth year of her age. The family consisted of Mr. Emerson and wife and Moses B, Sawyer. .

He 1s of medium height, stout duuld, florid complexion and gray hair and beard, He dresses with neatness, appears quite intelligent and has not a criminal appearance, THE MURDER , occurred early in the forenoon. The weather was stormy, and neither Emerson nor sawyer went far away from home, After breaklast Emerson made a pleasant remark to his wife aud kissed her and then went out to look after his cattle. 1tis not supposed that he ever saw her alive again. Sawyerat the same time went into the dooryard to cut wood. In the meantime Mrs. Emerson periormed her ordinary housenold duiies of tne morning and thea’ sat down by the fire, 1 her cosey kitchen, to do some sew- ing. ‘The view looking vut of doors was desolate, but within was cheerful and pleasant. looked tidy and pleasant. Conspicuous on the wall near her was the motto, “God Biess Our Home.” It was a pleasing picture of domestic peace and happiness. Ata litile past ten a terri: ble explosion took place in t: house. Mr. Biner- son heard it at his barn distinctly, aad started at | once for his dwelling. The nearest neighvor, John Flanders, abont forty rods northward, also heard it plainly.
