We have already announced the
death of Caleb c. Woodbury., the late
Postmaster of White Pigeon, by his
own hands, while in the custody of the
Deputy U. S. Marshal. The two ar
rived at White Pigeon from this city at
A. M. of Saturday last, when w ood-
bury at once retired to bed: During
the following forenoon he appeared as
cheerful as usual, and went about in
company with the Deputy Marshal to
procure bail. He applied to several of
his friends, but met with nothing but
refusals. Finally he applied to drug
gist named Charles Cooper, who
hesitated some time in giving reply.
The officer, in the meantime, was wait
ing at the door. Seeing that he was
to be again refused, Woodbury. said in
a careless manner, "By the way, my
wife says she wants some strychnine to
to kill cats with she says they have
been yelling about the house ever since
I've been gone. How much do !
want ?" and he pulled out some change
from his pocket to pay for it. The
druggist replied that dime would pay
for all that he needed, and it was put up
and given to him. Soon after he sug-
gested to the officer that it was dinner
time, but invited him to accompany
him to his house to dinner. The two
went to his residence, when Mrs. Wood
bury said dinner would not be ready
for three quarters of an hour, to which
Woodbury.. replied he would 60 up
stairs and take nap. When dinner
was ready messenger was sent to call
him, but was unable to get into his
room, or obtain any response to his
knocks. The door was then forced
open by his son, when he was found in
bed, dead. A bathing tub in the room
gave evidence that he had taken bath,
after which he had put on new linen,
and then retired and swallowed the
strychnine purchased at the drugstore.
The work had been thoroughly and
surely done. He died, apparently, with
much ease. The following note was
found in his hat.

|. It was shown in the last number of
this essay, that Douglas has endorsed
and adopted as his own, the heretical
dogmas that the Federal Constitution
by it's own provisions, makes slaves alb
soIutely property; that it carries slave
ry into every territory of the. United
States, and pledges to it in each as such
constitutional property, the protection
of the Federal Government; that, there
fore, neither Congress nor the people
or legislature of any territory, has any
power to prohibit or exclude it; but
that on the contrary, Congress is con-
stitutionalIy bound to provide all re-
quired legislation for its full protection
in each territory; and that the Federal
Supreme Court has, by the Constitu-
NHH
ton, exclusive final jurisdiction to de-
termine all these questions.
Farther than this, it was shown that
he has endorsed and insists upon the
claim of the jeff. Davis and Breckin-
ridge faction, that the Federal Supreme
Court has in the bred Scott case, de-
oided all these questions IN favor Of
slavery. 800. 49,, ~, "a -
As has been heretofore fully shown,
he thus endorsed and adopted all these
dogmas in his Springfield QlI) speech
of June 1851; in his speech at New
Orleans, in December, 1858; and in
his letter accepting his late Baltimore
nomination together with the s plat
form" of the faction which nominated
him, which platform embraces sub
stantial adoption ofthe dogmas, though
somewhat cove,t in respect to some Of
them.
But he has at other times and in 9th
er modes, endorsed and adopted the
! dogmas in question. His Harper's

Gov. Barry's Popularity at Home


The Sturgis Republican, published
in Ex-Governor Barry's own county is
not believer in his universal populari-
ty, but on the contrary finds by an APP
peal to the record, that he has always
ran behind his own ticket in his own
county, where he is best known. In
1854, when he ran for Governor, and
was beaten by Bingham. the following
is his vote compared with that for the
candidate for Secretary of State on
the same ticket:
Gov. Sec. of State.
John S. Barry. Bancroft.
Constantine, SO 1852
St. Joseph CO., l,l19 1888
The State, 33,675 39,O15
In 1857, when he ran for Congress,
the following is his vote compared with
the Democratic candidate for Secaeta-
ry of State:
Congress. Sec. of State.
Barry, Stevens.
Constantine, 1926 1876
st. Joseph co., 1880 1902
District, 10,064 1912
In 1852, when Barry ran for Presi-
Dental Elector he also "ran behind his
ticket" the other candidates being
ahead of him. This is fair sample
of his popularity.

Tomorrow the E;na and the Golden Fleece sail for
Great Britain and on Saturday the Fulton for Havrc:
all may take some specie. Tho market closed
steady; the scarcity Of bills and the large impor,a.
tons Of foreign goods indicate an advance Ia bills
and a resumption OF large specie shipments before
long.
There il decided increase in the amount
Of mercantile paper seeking discount. The
importations are very heavy, and more dry
goods and grocery paper and produce accept
anccs are offered for sale in Wall street
than has been the case for some time. The West
is buying and going TO buy largely this fall; the
South will materially increase its purchases in pro-
portion to the increase Of its crop. Hence an In
creased demand for bank accommodation, which
keeps the price Of money up. Six per cent is to-
day the minimum for mercantile paper with over
sixty days to run, and few private lenders are
willing buyers at this figure. Short acceptances
are current al 3; and on temporary loan stocks,
first class paper, money IS quito abundant at s.
The sub.Treasury continues TO do q large business:
the receipts to-day Ael 27o, of which s25i 900
was from customs; the payments, A37,7S5; the
balance this evening. $500 ,2ss.
This has been another very exciting day on the
stock Exchange and we have 20 record further
advance Of a per cent on the Western share
list. aud OF per cent in Hudson River. There
seems TO be no limit to the capacity Of the market
TO absorb stock; many Of the heaviest bull opera.

Never since the road was first bull, was II doing as

such Is the strength Of the market and the vigor Of
the prevailing speculative feeling that the stock
has risen nearly ten per cent in less than month.

sou'hern can all show results to explain to-day's
advance Of a / per cent. The advance in Had

directors for the disposal of the floating debt
We are informed, however, that various

Indefinitely the commencement Of dividends. The
