Melancholy Suicide.

Many Of our readers, who were acquaint-
cd with him and loved him for his many
manly virtues and nobleness Of heart,
will be shocked TO learn that Dick MAgill
has suddenly, aud in n most melancholy
manner, been called to his final account
But a few months ago, Mr.. MagiIl paid
our town a visit, and when we babe him
"good bye" on his departure, We little
thought we.should meet him no more in
this life, so full was he Of life and spirit,
but ain the midst Of life we are in death, y"
and our friend has been called hence, we
trust, TO a better world. We take the
following account of his death from the
Sacramento Bee Of Wednesday:
A young man named Richard II. MaRill, well
known in this city and san Francisco, came to
his death last evening in very sad and sud
den manner. MagIll was Assistant Clerk Of
the Assembly during the session Of 1859, and
at the time Of his dcccasc was clerk in the
office of the Controller Of State. Yesterday
afternoon, he hired double team from Frank
Malone's stable, for the purpose. as We under.

he boarded, and the runaway horses were
stopped soon after he was thrown out, before
much injury was done 10 themselves ar the
Carriage Snun after this occurred, Coroner
Murray was called upon to hold an inquest on
the body Of Magill, who had shot himself
The jury, composed of J. +. Sharkcv, W.

that Richard Il. Magll came to his death in
Sacramento, California, on the auth dav of M.

through the head, and that the pistol was fired
By his own hand. At the time the inquest was

in the negative. Mr.. Hamin called for a di-

that he had been concerned as second in the
fatal duel against Broderiek, and alluded to the
peculiar circumstances attending that tragedy
Mr. Douglas was absent when the call com.
meneed, but was sent for and came in. After
asking the reason which induced division, he
said, being concerned in a duel was not sufiic

firmalion.

WEDNESDAY, May l6.
GEN AfrL


Mr.. DAVIS resolutions were taken up, when
Mr.. DOUGLAS resumed his speech, further ex-
planning the Kansas Nebraska bill
Mr.. DOUGLAS concluded his speech. Yes
terday's abstract gives fair iuea Of the re-
mainder. The Charleston convention decided
he was lis choice as candidate for presidency.
lie had no desire for that office. He preferred
a seat in the Senate. His name would never
have been presented at Charleston but for an
attempt TO prescribe him. He was forced to
allow his name to be used in self.Ilefence. He
had not such lust for office as would induce
him to accept a nomination when he found
himself not the choice of the majority He
would scorn to accept nomination under
any such circumstances. He was glad TO be-
long to the democratic organization it was
the only conservative party of the country nu-
merous enough to save the Union. He was
proud to be among its uphoders against those
who wanted to destroy it because it would
not change its platform. The attempts
to destroy the democratic party was en-.
trusted TO worthy hands. Mr.. Yancey had
cause to be proud of his achievements there.
In lS4S he proclaimed the same doctrine, and
could not get his state to secede with him.
Mr.. Douglas then denounced dissolution in
eloquent terms, and again argued in favor of
non intervention, under which the South had

1849 and 1850 they only claimed up to $500
1t was the only platform upon which he could
stand. 1t was not susceptible of two construc-
tons the only difference was as to a judicial
question, which would be settled by the courts
The Tennessee platform was liable to two con-
structons. He wanted no double dealing, but
wanted them to stand on the Cincinnati plat
form, as all had understood it. If the doctrine
of intervention prevailed, the ''irrcprcssible
conflict" could continue until one section was
subdued by the other, or be obliged to separ-
ate in order to live quietly. Non Intervention
was the banner under which all conservative
men could lutte.
Mr.. DAVIS replied at some length, denying
Douglas statement that the Charleston seced.
ers contemplated disunion. The senator from
Illinois was like the witness on the stand who
commenced at the deuge and had gone over
vast extent Of ground, but had not come
down to the present time. The Supreme
Court had made all the decisions it could make
ON political question, and it was now neccs
sary that public men should declare their SEN
timents. Without concluding, the Senate
went into executive session.

CHICAGO, NAV 16.--In the German republic
can convention, to-day, resolutions were almost
unanimously adopted to support only true re-
publican candidates, and to leave the party if
any compromise man, or know nothing, should
he nominated. The Missouri delegates tried
to defend their position as supporters OF Bates
but met no encouragement. Among the most
earnest opponents OF Bates are Dr. A Douai
of Boston, and Carl Shurz of Wisconsin. The
resolutions of the convention were ordered to
be printed and distributed among the delegates
to the national convention.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY SlYl
CHICAGO, May 16.-The convention OPEN
ed, to-day, with great enthusiasm The
friends of the several candidates, this evening,
are caucusing actively in their behalf The
combination against Mr.. Seward continues
very strong and determined, and it is doubtful
whether he can be nominated. His friends,
however, are still hopeful and urge their
claims with equal activity and discretion. 1t
seems now that Mr.. Bates is out of the ques-
ton. The delegates from Illinois having pro
nounced for Mr.. Lincoln, his prospects have
materially improved, and his friends confident
ly look for his nomination. After Mr.. Seward,
be is the strong candidate before the conven-
ZION. The other candidates, who have been
more or less prominent, have little chance of
uniting the support OF any considerable body
