Mn EDrron:-A sad and distressing
event occurred here on Sunday morning
last. Mr., John Mccullough an aged
and respectable citizen OF cur town,
whilst Iaboring under partial drrange-
uent, attempted to commit suicide, by
shooting hinsclfthropgh the head. He
had been confined to his bed for some
FIVE or six weeks past, with a nervous
disease, which produced a melancholy
and depressed state Of mind. On Sat
oriay last he appeared 70 be a good deal
better, but during the night, and while
the family were all asleep, he got up
and taking his gun, went up the hill to
an out house and having loaded the gun,
placed the muzzIe under his chin near
the throat, intending no doubt 20 pro-
ducc instant death, but in attempting 10
pull the trigger he threw his head too
far back, aad thr discharge instead of
passing up through his head, tore away
his entire chm, crushing ,hh lower jaw
into fragments, DESTROYING a portion Of
bis tongue, part Of the load PASSED out
through the mouth, some lodging in the
upper jaw and left side cf the face. From
tie appearance Of Tire place and the
marks OF the blood, it appears that after
committing the art he sat down on a
bench for a few minutes. and then walk

MINNESOTA CORRESPONDENCE.
ST. PAuL. Jan. u. 1888

ST Paul, Jan. II, 1853
MEssRs. EDITons Our Legislature has been
in session above week, but has not yet effected
an Organization, except temporarily. This is
accounted for partly by the fact that the delega-
ton from Pembina did not arrive until the 10th
inst and the Others were anxious that their voice
should be heard. But the other, and perhaps the
main reason for delay is that there is an immense
amount of log rolling TO be done, and the in
this region is deep, making the job difficult one.
1t is understood the Democrat has large minority
in the two houses, who contend for portion of
the printing-that press having had none hitherto
and unless it be granted certain persons who
want cieTkships, &c.-private keys TO the public
crib-will tail to get hem. We expect they viii.
however, compromise this week. and we shall
then get his Excellency's yalediclion.
We had on the 18th inst, a grand Convention
of Temperance men and women from al parts of
the Territory. Pembina was represented by Rev
James Tanner and wife, and the Sioux nation of
Indians was also represented by three fine tenn

Saturday, January %.
Through carelessHess I have forgotten to mail
this letter till to-day. The Council have organi-
zed, but the House of Representatives have not.
and some think they icH not The true cause is
no doubt the one stated above. The Council hav-
ing six Wings to three Democrats could elect its
officers, but the House has nine wings, eight dem-
ocrats, and one whom they term n,ulish; 50 there
is all the time a stand off
We are shut out of mails again. The cotract
or, H. NJ Rice, it is said refuses to give his sub,
contractors, Willoughby & Powers, security for
payment, and they therefore refuse to carry the
mails So all Minnesota Territory is deprived Of
mail matter, because one wealthy nan Is sIppo-
sed to be failing. It IS a great misfortune that
must be endured
This IS the most delightful winter I ever enjoy
ed. The atmosphere is dry and warm-the sun
looks su1ilingly on US every day, and such IS the
adoption of our systems to the climate that lit
tie fire in our stoves often forces US to open our
doors to admit cool air. We cannot with comfort
SIT in our kitchens on baking days with the doors
shut

San Francisco Market,
Decision in the Martha Washington Case.

Decision II the Martha Washington Case
The Counsel in this important case sub.
mitted it to the decision of Comm ;ssioner
Wilcox without argument, and the matter
was disposed of on Saturday By holding
all the defendants to bail to take their tri-
al in the T. S District Court. Judge
Walker informed the Court that Capt.
Cummings, was present and wished no
further investigation, but would be bound
by the decision of the Court. We copy
from the Statesman the decision of the
Commissioner.
These persons arc charged with con-
spring to burn the boat, with intent, sc.
The crime Is complete when the conspiracy
Is formed the actual burning Is not the
offence, but an aggravation of it. The
Commissioner read what has been laid
down by Judge Marshall and Blackstone
as applicable to this matter-there must
be probable causes to believe that the de-
PENDANTS committed the crime. before they
can be held to bail After a careful con.
sideration of the case it appears to me that
the Attorney of the L. S. las furnished
sufficient evidence to convince me that
there is probable cause to believe that the
offence has been committed BY the defen-
dants, and they must therefore be held to
bail
In regard to bail the Commissioner
said:
When the application for the warrant
was made to me | hesitated, but under
standing that no application had been
made before to another Commissioner I
granted it. had fixed the bail at Sl5 900
but 1t was afterwards reduced to $4,000
When this examination was in the begin
ming my mind was favorable to these de-
PENDANTS but as the testimony Of the U.
States was adduced day after day, that
impression wore away. Then taking the
conflicting evidence Of the defence about
the burning Of the boat and the testimony
OF Choate, the impression upon my mind
IS that the boat was burned Intentionally.
The bail Of Kissane and Cole must re-
main as it is, they are men of means
Hollands bail may be reduced one half;
and if that is thought too much. perhaps
further application may be made for him"
After few words from Mr.. Pugh, the
commissioner said Kissane's and Coles
bail must be $4,000, two sureties, house
holders, each; the two Chapins and Cum
Minis $4,000 each Holland $4,000
