Suspected Death by Violence.


On Sunday afternoon, Frank Mcclure wen,
to the store of Beattie ~ Anderson, for tho
purpose of talking on business matters with
Beattie. About an Losr afterwards. Maclure
was seen to fall from the door to the SIDE
walk. When he was picked up il was found
his skull was fractured, and he died on MoE-
day night Mr.. Beattie, before the Coro-
ner's jury, testified that after parting with
Mcclure in the store, he returned to hi,
counting-roo and heard noise ut the door
Going there, he found Mcclure lying on the
sidewalk; and supposed that in passing out
of the door, the deeeased's feet caught some
thing which threw him OH the sidewalk
Causing his injuries. Beattie was arrested
last evening on the affidavit of Sam'l Mitch
ell, accusing him Of the murder of Mcclure
by suiAing him on the head with an iron
bar. lie was held to bail in $4,000. The
parties are well known, and a:s highly re-
spectacle.

Conversational.

WAsHISGTOS, Dec o-P n
HoUsE-Clements obtained permission to
make personal explanation. He read a
letter from his colleague, Mr.. FalRner, ask
ing him to state the facts upon which he, in
Democratic caucus, based his conclusions
with reference 70 statements impeaching Mr..
Wendali's character. Mr.. Clement, in re
ply, agreed to Mr.. Falkner's suggestion to
sui mis to Mr.. Wendall in order to give h; m
an opportunity for vindication written
statement, of which he read duplicate, de-
scribing the circumstances under which he
was on last Saturday approached by person
who said he was interested in procuring the
Office of printer for Mr.. Wendall, and that a
ne, uniary consideration could be Sc ured for
Mr.. Clements mother in one of the two con-
tingencies, viz First, that he should cast
his vote for Wendall or, secondly, abstain
from voting ut all.
Clements in rely to this, pointed the man to
an act Of Congress providing pains and PEN
alties for such corrupt approaches, and told
him he had mistaken his man. Mr.. Wen

dali in his reply solemnly protested against
such charges, based on u nameless author,
and says il the charges were properly pre-
ferred he would promptly refute them. lie
neither directly or indirectly employed any
person or agent to procure votes for him.
Clements having finished reading eorrespon-
dence, said he had never seen Wendall to his
knowledge, and had no purpose to accom-
plish other, than the faithful discharge of
public duty. He was constrained from ex-
posing the name of the scoundrel who ap-
preached him on account OF the mans fa,ui-
" who should rot be COMPOUNDED with his
guilt. lie accepted the statement of Wen
dali, so far as the denial of all completely or
knowledge of such proposition was con-
ceIned.
Smith, of Virginia, offered resolution pro-
viding for the appointment OF Il committee
to examine into the subject OF Public printing
the election of a Printer to be postponed
until their report should be made. He said
it was believed that an enormous corruption
was connected with this subject, and hence
the necessity of an investigation. The pro-
fits ACQUIRING were probably $sVo, 900 and the
printer who might be elected to-day could
get quarter OF u million of dollars for his
contract. Mr.. Clingman moved TO elect q
Printer FIRST and then afterwards investigate.
Hueston, who had moved to proceed to the
election of Printer, expressed his willing
ness to agree to the method just proposed.
Smith of Tennessee said: am fast friend
of Mr.. Wendall, and i state on his authority
that he abdes the action Of the Caucus, and
supports its nominee.
keitt said he did not go into caucus, but
he would vote for the nominee, because that
gentle han suited him. The debate was here
Interrupted by the reception OF the Presi-
dents Message. After the reading OF the
document Mr.. Bocock appealed to the House
to complete its organization by the election
of public printer. After this had been done,
he would willingly join with other members
in ierreting ont the extravaganza and cor
ruption which is charged to exist in this de-
partment. MIR. Grow advised the House to
commence the reform in the Government
printing department., by curtailing the enor-
nous expenditures which have created our
Government into rival with all the book
Establishments in the country. Books were
sent out by Congressional authority, which
were really not worth the paper on which
they were printed. Without concluding the
subject the House adjourned.
SESATE.-Douglass expressed himself ia
vorable to all but the Kansas and Lecomp-
ton Convention.

Our National dIsorder.-Dr. Roback's Cures

The American stomach is a tormenting or
gan. IL is generally out of order. The rea-
son is obvious. The driving man of business
has not time, or will not take time, properly
to masticate his food. ii, bolts il. and as
bad habits are catching, all classes follow his
example. Hence Dyspepsia, with all its
compli ations--hcnee Indigestion, Liver
complaint, and disorders of the Bowels, in
all their various phases. Against these and
n hundred other complaints, DIR. Roback is
waging an discriminating warfare. His wea-
pons are the famous Blood Pills and Blood
Purifier, and they arc irresistible. The sue
cess of these Medicines has been astonishing,
even in an age CT scientific miracles. They
do not alleridte, they ertiaguiM a disorder.
The agony, the fever, the debility, the des-
pondency, which characterize Affections OF
the digestive and secretve organs, vanish
under the influence of these preparations.
The constitution itself seems to acquire new
energy under their operation. We say to the
sick, everywhere, read DIR. Roback's adver-
tisements, and give his Blood Pills and Blood
Purifier a fair trial.
