ATTEMrTED SUICIDE OF BRGApIER-Brir,
Gen: Champion Vaughn, formerly of the Kansas
militia; afterwards Assistant Adjutant General on
Gen. Blunts staff was found by a police officer on
Thursday afternoon sitting on the steps of the
church northeast corner of Fifth and Locust,
apparently breathing his last from the effects of
val OF poison, the empty vial being found at his
side. The policeman procured assistance and re-
moved the suicide to the Central District police
station, where he was waited upon by skillful
physician, who applied the right antidotes and
saved the officers life IS he believed, to serve his
country in the next civil war. The officer, how
ever, wouldn't stay cured, and was yesterday
again detected in an attempt to terminate his ex-
lstence by inhaling choroform. This second
attempt was made at the Mercantile Library,
where he was discovered reclining in an arm
chair, inhaling the poisonous odor from his hat /,
INTO IN the crown OF which he had emptied a vial of
the poison. His life was saved by the interference
of strangers.-LSt. Louis Democrat.

The Virginia Delegation,


We eat our "humble pien for the good Of our
State, but what benefit has resulted from it The
members of Congress elect who could take the
oath, and those who declared that they would not
and could not do so, appeared in Washington on
the first Monday in December. The men who
could "take the OATH" and those who could not
were all there. Having been solemnly assured
that the first would be permitted to enter Con-
gress, our anXeties were only great as to the fate
of Messrs. Stuart and Conrad. In half an hour
after the meeting Of Congress, it was apparent
that a perfect willingness to swallow the oath
made not one particle of difference in the fate Of
the Southern delegates. The condition of Mr..
Barbour, who could and of Mr.. Conrad who
They were all thrust out, and left shVering in the
cold together; and Horace Maynard, well
beloved of Brownlow, and an active Union man
during the war, ycnturng to utter a yell of rage,
was pitched right out as unceremoniously by his
brother radicals as if he had been. a troublesome
caterwauling grnalkin.
When this fate betel onr representatives, all Of
Us regretted that we had ever sent them there to
be outraged, insultod and carcatured. All of us
have since desired that these rejected delegates
The Southern people have not lost their pride and
manliness OF character, and they do not wish to
have their Congressman hanging on in Washington
to be sneeringy cassed with ragged Office seekers
sleek lobby members, claim agents, bounty specu-
iat0rs and applicants for the renewal of expiring
patents. We had much rather them initiate
the rejected ambassador, WHO asks for his pass
port, and straightWay returns to his government.
Seven Virginia gentlemen, elected in strict con,
fOrnfity to the requirements of the law, bearing
certificates of election from an lever loyal ="
Governor, have just been refused admission into
the HeGse OF Representatives, it is proposed to
send two other gentlemen there in order that they
may be thrust out OF tie Senate chamber. Oae
of our cheeks having seen just sOundly boxed, we
are now to ask that the same privilege be awarded
10 the Other.

THE ARREST OF CoMMoDoRE SEMMEs.--Thc ar
rest of Commodore Semmes is, under the circum.
stances a rather singular proceeding. The charge
of Mr. Wells against him even, if tre to the letter,
is but charging him, single indivi6ual with what
a whole fleet Of American vessels d3 at the battle
of Galveston, te-wit: take advantage of flag of
truce to escape from capture. If Semmes is held
to answer for his escape, it is but right that the
common country, in which we all bear a common
interest, should re4dew the other proceeding. It
would be far better, however, to let byganes go,
than to be thus raling them mp and holding the
fear of trial false Issues continually over the
participants in the late so,called rebellion.
What good, ask, is to come of trial of
Capt Senmes now for his reported escape from
the Kearsage? Suppose it is proved that he es-
capped what then wonld not Mr.. Wells have
thanked any of his own officers for similar pro-
ceeding? IF Capt. Semmes committed a crime,
why was itnot disc overed at the ms and 8 extra
dition demanded of the British Government?
This persecution of paroled men SHOWS anything
but magnarmity; but we are far, very far from
believing that the feeling of the country, even in
the North, will sustain the Naval Secretary in it.

a BATTLE FIELD-A correspondent of the Bos-
ton Transcript, who has recently visited the Get
| tysburg battle field, writes:
The battlefield is nearly stripped of the more
coyetedrelics. Where the ground was stre,vI, with
everything pertaining to military equipment, one
may now hunt for hours without finding single
bullet, though if he take hatchet along with him
dant evidences, however, still remain of the obsti-
macy and magnitude of the struggle. AT Round
Top, the place itself, a preciptons, rocky hill,
sufficient testimony to the desperate courage Of its
assailants, and the awful execution Of the guns on
its summit. On the brow of Semetery Hill one
may still see the gun-pts on which the Louisiana
Tigers made their mad charge. At Cnlp's Hill
there are long lines of breast works made by logs
and stones about three feet hight; here and there,
too. is a private fortfcation, where some hero
sought shelter by blocking up with rocks cleft
in LEDGE or space between two trees. Over
head the trees pierced with bullets torn and twis
ted with shells, or cut off with solid shot, are mad
witnesses to the fury Of the conflict. Government
has purchased the land, that neither plough nor
axe shall disturb it.

fore the Supreme Court Of the United States, III
regard to the constitutiohality Of the oath pre-
scribed by Congress to attorneys before they can
practice in the Federal Courts Tho argument
covers twenty two pages Of pamphlet, and seems
to US to be able and conclusive. Mr.. Mari main

constitutional, and therefore null and void; and
secondly, that the amnesty covers all alleged Of

SOMETHING FoR sUMsER.A recent number Of
the San Francisco News Letter has the following
extraordinary statement. 1t is the melancholy
story of a Virginia negro:
Happy with his master at home in Virginia,
the war set him free. He went to Richmond, with
his wife and four children, and could get no work
among the great crowd of negroes there. The
government refused to give him rations. North
efn men were there to buy negroes to take to Cali
fornia to work in the mines For the want Of
something better, he agreed to sell himself with
tWenty-one other negroes, and hundreds more to
follow, to come out here. He is separated from
his family, like many others of the company He
says he is more of slave now than in old times

| ing, and they won't give him any money to send
| to them. There we have it; slavery ablished In
Virginia and established in free California The
father ensayed in California to be imprisoned in
NINE, to die and never be heard Of and the free
mother and children starving in Richmond ; and
these things brought about by Yankee capitalists
and California clergymen.r
The Baltimore Transcript commends the case to
all humanitarians, and says that perhaps G Mr.
sumner may find in it fit subject for an addition
TO that avalanche of bills and resolutions which he
has already precipitated upon the Senate 1t
would be splendid theme for his studied rhetoric
