Coroner James returned yesterday morning
from Blue Island. where he had held IN inquest
IN the case referred to in our last issue, Of a
young child supposed to have been murdered
By its parents. The case is still mystery, the
cause of death not having been Jet fully shown.
The parties implicated arc John Schmuker
and Elizabeth, his wife, recently arrived in this
country from Germany, which they left in Sep
tember last. They are miserably poor, and in
intelligence below the common grade OF Ger
man euigrants. 1t Blue Island their home is
miserable shanty, the parents picking up 3
scanty subsistence BY daily Labor. The man is
about thirty years Of age-a s.olid, stupid-Iook-
ing fellow. The mother il bis senior by several
years, and apparently possesses the most mind
Of the two. The deceased child was gi1l SIX
years Of age, the step-daughter Of the latter.
This little ono WAS, from the evidence, weakly
and ailiDg, and not an object Of much affection.
Indeed, tits clear that it was starved and abused
aud it is not jet developed to the satisfaction
ofthe jury. or the neighbors thereabouts, that
some untoward md hidden act Of violence did
not put an end to its miserable life.
On Sunday the child died, and the parents
gare out that it fell from the bed and broke its
neck. From the known treatment Of the little
one BY the parents, the people residing in their
vicinity justly deemed the affair demanded IN
investigation, and yesterday word was sent to
Coroner James, as also to city detectives, az
stated in our last issue. Schumacher and his
wife were watched in the Interval Of the arrival
of the officers. BE went of into the woods,
but subsequently returned while the inquest
WIS being held.
The CORNER summoned jury, aud post
mortem examination WIS held by DR.. Amerman
on Monday evening. The witnesses sTorn did
not develope the cause of death. The evidence
showed that the child was victim Of much
cruelty, lily fed aad beaten with rope.
The jury, after full hearing, gave their yer-
dict rs follows:
vKRDlCT.
the jury. nnd that the deceased Frederick sehmuckez
eme her death from pa.11 dis1oatton Of The third
vrtehsae Of the neck, from to the Jury
known.
Under these circumstances the matter rests
at atpresent, md the man and his wife are get at
large, though the feeling in that neigbborhood
is that the whole story is not jet told.

The NATIONAL LoAN.-On the Goth inst
the Secretary OF the Treasury opened the
proposal for the five million Treasury Note
Loan, and made the awards. Upwards of
thirteen million were bid for, OF which the
lowest bid was 5 per cent, and the highest
6. About 50, 7oo,o 900 awarded at from 81 to
81 per cent; $4,000 at S, and the remaining
two millions and a third will be awarded pro-
rata among the 6 p. cent. bidders. The bids are
lower than heretofore, aud this fact is
considered good evidence that the present
condition of affairs in Europe viii, not exert to
considerable extent a deleterious effect upon
the money market of the United States.

LETTER OF HON. S,A. DOUGLAS.

WAsH1NGroN, June 23.-The friends OF
Judge Douglas are in possession II. the fol-
lowing letter, explaining his position in re-
gard to the Presidency:
WASHINGTON, june 2h, 1859.
J. B. Dorm, Esq, Dubuque, Iowa:
My Dear SRI have received your letter
inquiring whether my friends are at liberty
to present my name to the Charleston Con-
~vention for Presidential nomination. Before
this question can be finally determined, it
will lie necessary to understand distinctly
upon what issue the canvass is to be con-
Quoted.
If, as have faith they will, the Demo-
cratic party shall determine in the Presdien-
tial election Of 1860 to adhere to the rrin-
cip'es embodied in the Compromise measures
Of 1850, and ratified by the people in the
Presidential election of 1852, re-a11rmed in
the kansas-Nebraska act Of 1854, and incor-
pofated with the Cincinnati platform in 1856,
accepting the nomination, aud approved by
the people in his election. in that event my
friends will be at liberty to present my nanle
to the Convention, if they see proper to do
SO.
If, on the contrary, it shall become the
policy Of the Democratic party (which cam
not anticipate) to rePndia e their time-hon-
ored principles, on which we lave achieved
so many patriotic. %triumphs; and in lieu Of
them the Conve ntion shall interpolate into
the creed of the party such ne W issues as the
revival of the African slave trade-or a Con-
gressional slave code for the Terrirories-or
the doctrine that the Constitution of the Uni
ted States either establishes or prohibits sla-
very in the Territories beyond the power of
the people, legally to control it as other prop
erty, it is due to candor tn say that in such
an event | could not accept the nomination if
rendered to me.
Trusting that this answer will BIS deemed
sufficiently explicit,
am, very respectfully, your friend, 3

~ The Charleston Is. CO. Mercury says
that it objects to making the re-opening of
the Slave Trade an issue in the politics Of
this country because it would not be safe to
review the trade in the present relationship
of the South and North because it is a mis-
chievous issue--an issue regarding which
there may well be a difference of opinion,
and which is no test of soundness to Southern
institutions. 1t says wisely" as a practical
living issue, on which to turn the politics of
the South, we regard the re-opening Of the
Slave Trade as a very fre-bEand, fraught
with mischief and~danger. And in this point
of view we are, and have been, from the be-
ginning, strongly opposed to its being used.'
