UThe coroDer's jury yesterday decided that
it was impossible 10 ascsrla In how sheHamann
came 10 his death. The circumstances unde,
which his body was found gave good ground to
the suspicion that be came there by other aid
than his own. oae thing is very svident--he
was not in pOssion Of his whole strength or
faculties when placed in the condition 10 which
he was found; for he had not made the faintest
struggle, a. was plainly indicated by the con
dition Of the ground, leaves and shrubs. He
might have taken some powerful drug, and
then placed the cord about his neck and died
without a struggle. 1t was claimed that the
appearance Of the body when found Indicated
that the man Wss about half starved before his
death. This was probably a notion, but it
might have been satisfactorily settled by post
mOrtem examination had the Green County
Coroner not been as greon as the pumpkins
who were almost frightened 10 death at the
sight Of the body. The Doctors who inspected
the stomach Of the deceased could settle this
question. but we presume they will remain
quiet. The probability is the mystery will
hang about Shsnamann's history and death
until the matter is forgotten:

say that it was just like all masquersdes. The

cay that many Of them were very ersditable.-

The Political IshmasI ana Our Own

Charles Resmelio, the Ishmael Of Ohio pol
itics, recently made trip to Nashville on board
a stesmboAt He relates few incidents which
occurred on the way down, for the Cincinnati
Commercial, and they are 80 important that he
stamps them With the sOlemnity Of HE proper
name, which he has parsded At the head Of the
Of srticle. II seems that "Our Own Cores
poadent" was on the same boat with Rssmslin,
and the Ishmael thus refers 10 him;
We had a very little political talk, by the way,
which elbows the great propensity all have to
pslitica IN American society, for We were all
men retired from political life aud had long
ago eacbswed its present low state. One Of our
number was sorry 10 have 20 leave on q South
cru tfip, before he could feel perfectly certain
that Chase would NOT be elected Senator. He
was an old Whig, and ready 10 bet that the
election would be postponed by the refusal Of
six or seven members Of the House TO 20 into
the election. He had nothing much against
Chase, but had q vivid recollection Of the Bres >
lin Pugh bargain, as he called It, by which
Chase was FIRST elected. A Soulherner, who
noticed his lFibulation, said to me:
"Why does the man trouble himself sol--
Chase. at least, represents the Ststsl Pugh
misrepresented the State and the Democratic
party. Chase got in through PuRh, and now
Pugh is put out by Chase. II is only little

TO the Louisville Hotel, found cheerful room,

while thinking Of my poor fellow traveller, who

column announced Chanea election; the silver
grey Whgs had not the pluck our f,iend had
expected Of them, and had fzzled. He was
much disappointed.
