Suicide OF Preston King.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The rumor that
Preston King had resigned is entirely un-
true. Mr.. King has for aweek past been
laboring under an attack of nervous de-
bility. Yesterday he LETT his room at the
Astor House, and since that time moth
ing has been seen or heard of him This
evening, Moses T. Odell, naval officer,
telegraphed to President Johnson to as
certain ifMr. King was at Washington,
and received reply that he was not
there. kilograms were sent in many di-
rectiOns, but no clue to his whereabouts
has been obtained
LATER-Preston King jumped over
board from tho Hoboken Ferry boat while
in state of temporary alteration of
mind and was drowned His body has
not been recovered.
LATEsT-Thurlow Weed states that
Preston King was seen to jump off the
Ferry-boat yesterday by little boy aud
girl on deck They licked up his bat
which has been handed TO Mr. Weed and
recognized by him No traces of the
bodyas yet
Mr., King stated to very intimate
friend on Sunday night that he would
never see him again, Knowing tLat Mr.
King had been for some time laboring
under depression of spirits, he took but
little notice of the matter. His health
has been poor for some time, and latterly
he has shown indications of softening Of
the brain. He had only returned to the
city last Saturday from "a visit TO his
home in St. Lawrence county He went
to the Astor House, where he remained
over Sunday with his friends. Monday
morning he arose, dressed himself, and
said to arelation who had slept in the
same room with him that he wished to
take walk, and preferred going alone.
At about eight o'clock he went out.
He was next heard from on board of
the Ferry-boat, crossing from Cristo-
pher street to Hoboken 1t was reported
yesterday tilaJ man had jumped over
board. Four of Mr.. Kings friends visi-
ted the boat and found that gentleman
answering the description Of NJ. King
had entered the boat yesterday morning
at o'clock and when the boat was mid
way in the stream, he was seen by two
children, the only passengers on that
end OF the boat, to take off his nat and
leap overheard The alarm was given
and the boat stopped, bat the bodS was
not seen by any one Oh board, as the tide
was falling at the time, and probably the
body was washed out to sea. Mr.. King
has been much perpleXed ever since his
appointment The affair at the Custom
House weighed heavily upon his mind
aud undoubtedly eliminated in his
death Those most intimate with him
say they carefully watched his falling
health and recently he had been attended
by Il companion who occupied rooms
with him in the Astor House and
watched his movements Mr.. King was
q batchelor.

His informant also says that along the Mis-

and no great amount of cane. This he
says, is greatly owning, however, to the
impaired condition of the Mississippi bank

General Sol. Meredith against
Negro Suffrage.

Aspccial from Indianapolis, under date of
the 9Th inst, to The Cincinnati CONNER
cui, states this fact:
"Thc 22d and jSth regiments were recciv-
ed o-day. General Sol. Meredith being
present made n speech, in which he took
strong grounds against negro suffrage, lie
believed it the duty Of the Government to
care for and educate the negro, take him ON
probation, and when he proved himself
worthy Of the rights OF citizenship, to give
them TO him, and not before. He did not
believe in agitating the question of suffrage
until 1870, at least
Now, let Gencaal Cox make a similar
speech, or write letter to his soldier cor
respondents; taking strong grounds against
Negro Suffrage. General Sherman and
General Meredith have set him the example.
When such distinguished Generals pro
nounce against Negro Suffrage, does Gener'
al Cox suppose that the mass of the soldiers
will vote for candidate who, or with par
ty which, is in favor of Negro Suffrage. -
Come, General Cox, let us have an anti
Negro Suffrage speech or anti Negro Suf,

people want it, ~ Statesman,
