Coroner Connery held an nques: on Saturday after
room at No IS Forsyth street upon the body of Mrs.
Mary Lattelle, German woman, forty years of age,
who.e death was caused by an overdose of arsenic,
administered by herself for the purpo'e Of seltde
structOn. l. appeared in evidence that on rhursday
the husband Of deceased came home 70 his dinner,
but finding nothing to suit his tsste he found fault
with his wife, and some unpleasantsess occurred be-
tween them. This seemed 10 make deep Impression
upon the mind Of Mrs. Lattalle, and on Saturday
mom1 she went 10 the drug store Of Adam Kohlsr,
conner of Hester street and tho Bowsry, and pur-
chased half an ounce of arsenic, which che swallowed.
The &C. was sooa discovered, and efforts were made
to countsract the effects Of the poison, but they
proved unavailing. The Coroner, in summing up the
evidence, reverted to the practice of druggists selling
poi.ors to any one applying for them, and the Jury
rendered the following verdict
"Tha. Mary La'talle came 10 her death BY suicide
In taking large qusntity OF arsenic whiah she par-
chased of Adam Kohler the 2ith inst. We severe

PRESIDENTIAL MOVEMENTS FOR 1s60.-Wc gave
from one of our exchanges, the other day, some
speculations about the Presidency in 1860. We
give one to-day from the N. Y. Courier and En-.
qairer, on the other side of the question:
An agreeable social and political banquet was
given by Francis P. Blair, at his residence Of
Silver Spring. on Friday last, to Hon. Mp.
Banks, Preston King. Judge Trumbull, Senator
Doolittle, of Wisconsin, f. P. Blair, DR., and ma
ny other prominent members of the Republican
party in Congress. Important political meas
ures are often conceived and arranged at these
festive meetings. It was ut Silver Spring, in
the Winter and Spring of1s56, that the nomina-
ton of Fremont was settled. Parties are forming
their plans already for 1860, which is but two
years distant. The preliminary movements ofthe
Republicans are ofmost public interest, because,
they are the party which will succeed in 1860.
Col. Benton says that the chasm in the Demo-
craic party caunot possibly be closed or bridgcd,
and that the Republicans can only defeat them
selves by gross mistakes. The Republican can.
didate for 1860 will be taken from the circle of
these names: Mr.. Seward, Col. Fremont, Gov.
Banks, Gov. Chase, Gov. Bissell.
Senator Douglas or Gov. Walker will proha-
bly, be the candidate o fthe Barnburncrs or Free
Soil Democracy, and President Buchanan will
necessarily be renominated by the Adninistra-
