account of dissraceful personal assault
on Clement l.. Fallandigham, an unprin-
cipied politician, who. if he deserve any
personal punishment at all, deserves it at

from that narrated:
The Hon. c. L. Fall.ndigham visited
Eaton, Ohio, night before last, to transact
same business. A soon rs it became
generally known that he was In the little
town, a rumor became prevalent that he
was there for the purpose Of making q
speech. 1t happens that the people OF
Eaton are very much opposed to Mr. Val
landigham personally, and the idea of his
making n speech in their midst so exaspe.
rated a lot of young men of the place,
that at early candle-light they visited the
place where he was stopping and made a
loud call for his appearance. Understand
ing that trouble was in store for him, Mr..
Nallandigham made Il hastv exit from the
house, and pursued his retreat through
fields and over fences in the direction Of
the depot, running at the top of his speed,
followed by an angry and excited mob of
boys and young men, one of whom struck
him a severe blow and knocked him to
the ground, while he was getting on the
train"

From the details of Hon Preston
King suicide at New York, it appears to
be settled fact that his nervous system
had been completely broken down by the
burden of responsibility and duty of the
Office which he had but recently assumed
Mr.. King was n very large man, of a
genial nature, and unaccustomed to severe
personal application to business. Under
taking to manage the multifarious and
difficult business of the Collectorship oil
New York, he soon found himself growing
nervous and depressed IN spirits, under
the new cases.
There are some facts that our New
York cotemporaries have failed to men
ton. Mr., King became insane once be-
fore-in 1913, we belieye-and was for
some time an inmate Of tie Utica Lgnatic
Asylum. There was one fact in his his
tory that ever bore heavily on his
thoughts He never knew who his parents
were He was born out OF wedlock
This one thing always seemed to weigh
upon his mind, through a life that was IL
lustrious with public distinction and use
