A strange Suicide.

Tee tiseus of Mount Vernon were start
led and shocked ON Wednesday morning,
the Adroeae says, by the suicide of Mr..
Achilles fuller, a highly respectable and
much esteemed citizen of that place. The
act was apparently one of generalization and
deliberation. Taking advantage of the brief
absence of his wife, whom he requested to
90 to the Post Office, he obtained razor,
made sure of his aim before a mirror, and
with one stroke severed the caretoid artery.
Medical aid was Immediately summoned,
but ere it arrived, life had fed
Deceased has been resident Of that place
something more than year, having come
from Ohio; during that period he gained
the respect and esteem of all who made his
acquaintance, by his unobtrusive and gentle
manly department, and more than ordinary
intelligence. IL has been developed since
the fatal occurrence that tendency to in
sanity is hereditary in his family, and that
he himself has, on a number of occasions,
manifested unmistakable symptoms Of men
tai arrangement. II was doubtless during
one of these fits of temporary alteration
that the fatal deed was done. His family is
plunged into the deepest affection by the
sad calamity. His remains were brought TO
this city to be forwarded by railroad TO
Ohio.

Icy One of the chief causes of the in
crease Of crime, is stated in tile following
paragraph, from the Mt Vernon Adrocdte,
which says:
We view the lax administration Of our
criminal laws as a no small contributor To
the alarming increase of crime, aud likewise
consider that mo inconSid.rable share of the
responsibility for palsying the arm of jus
lice, is due that class who contribute power
iu intellects and interchangeable energies to
the work of rescung the criminal from the
punishment equitably due his crimes.
Almost every criminal who has money,
can now be carried by the Ingenuity, chi
canery or eloquence of able counsel, through
the meshes OF the law. The principal pun
ishment rich offenders suffer, is the enor-
NOUS fees extorted from them by their de-
tenders. The bar will not he likely to favor

.E6se WAsHINGToY, April l6-M
Court opened at the usual time, large
audience being in attendance. The petit
jury which had been directed to be in attend
ance to-day, had their names called and
were excused from further attendance till
this day fortnight. This would indicate an
intention on the part of the Judge to admit
the evidence offered. District Attorney
0uld proceeded to close his arguments against
the admissability of the evidence offered to
prove adultery. He reiterated the main
points of his former speeches, and urged the
jury to consider particularly the fact of the
cooling time allowed to Sickles between the
time of becoming acquainted with Keys of
tense, and the killing. The jary must de-
eide upon the fact.
The discussion of several questions was
touched upon which caused him to be inter-
rupted by Mr.. Brady who refused to enter
upon the discussion of any question except
it relate to the particulars of the case.
The question of provocation is before the
court. The proyocation of a crime did moi
necessarily carry with it justification.
There was evident malice in the case, which
the provocation would not justify.
