On the 18th of September last, as will be re.
collected, man named Adolph Bruder. employed
as a porter in the Prescott House, was killed by
pistol ball at the door of the bar.TOom The ey-
dence taken at the inquest caused suspicion to at
taCh to barber named Charles Muendler, living
on Elm street, who, on the evening of the murder
accompanied two servant girls from Washington
Hall to the Prescott House, and entered the house
with them, and shortly after the shot was fired
that killed Bruder it being thought that having
been refused admittance, Muendler had shot the
porter in revenge The details Of the matter it is
unnecessary to recapituate, On the examination
before the recorder, the evidence was deemed in
sufficient, and Muendler was discharged.
Yesterday, somewhat curious circumstance in
connection with this case came to light. Mr.. Geo,
Shaefer, proprietor of the Mississippi saloon in
east St. Louis states that last week he received
letter from one August Kaufman, formerly bar
keeper in Becils saloon, on Market street, in which
the writer contesses that he fired the shot that
killed Bruner: that he was drunk at the time, and
that his real object was to hit Muendler; that he
left St. Louis the day after the murder and at
the time of writing on his way to Germany, and
that his object in making the confession was to
save an innocent man from suffering for the crime
the writer evidently being ignorant of Muendler's
discharge. The fact of this singular letter being
received was communicated last Sunday by Mr..
Shaeffer to Mr. f. Mueet, of the Prescott House.
Mr. s. further states that the letter has been either
lost or destroyed but that he will make affidavit
as to its reCeiptand contents.
The matter will doubtless be thoroughly exam
ined by the authorities and it certainly requires
investigation.
1t will be remembered that on the inquest the
two girls above mentioned stated thatas they were
returning from Washington Hall an unknown man
attempted to take some liberties with them, and
was prevented by MuendIer and the inference was
that it was be who fired the shot as they entered
the house, intending to hit Muendler, but killing
the unfortunate porter in mistake. In this partic
ular the letter would seem to be corroborated, but
the matter is still involved in much mystery. As
the law has pronounced him gutless, no further
suspicion can be supposed to attach.to Muendler;
but it would have been much more satisfactory for
him and all parties concerned in the unhappy affair
that the letter had been preserved.

DEATH OF COMMODORE SToCKToN.--A dispatch
in another column announces that Commodore
Robert Field Stockton died in Princeton, n. j.,
last night He has long been identified with the
history of this country, both in the naval and pub
alic service. He entered the navy early in life, and
took part in several of the principal engagements
during the war of 1872. He was afterward com"
mander of the An IAN squadron off the coast of
gAfrica.
steam in the navy, and the famous sloOp- of-war
Princeton was built under his direction. It was
on the occasion of displaying her that the party
was given by him on the 2Sth of February 1871,
i at which President Tyler, the cabinet and many
members of Congress were present, and which
was destined to become so memorable. Several
of the company went on deck to witness the firing
of the new guns which had been cast expressly
for the Princeton, when one of them, the Peace
maker,m exploding, killed Mr.. Upshur, the secre-
tary of state Mr.. Gilmer. the secretary of the
navy, Mr.. Gardner, whose daughter the President
afterwards married, and several others.
During the war with Mexico Commodore Stock
ton was placed in command Of the feet in the
Pacific Ocean, and took command, civil and mill
tary, in California. HIS controversy with John c.
Fremont, in the celebrated conflict Of jurisdiction
with General Kearny is familiar to every one.
Colonel Fremont was sent home under arrest, and
the action of the commodore approved by the
court martial at Washington.
The commodore soon aiterward resigned his
commission and retired to private life In 1850 he
was elected to the Senate Of the United States
and distinguished himself by Introducing the
measure to abolish flogging in The navy. He sus
tanned the Nebraska bill and LeGomptOn policy,
and acted with the Democratic party. In 1861 he
was chosen member of tile peace Congress, and
supported the conciliatory policy. Ee has not
since taken part in public matters,-[N. Y. Post

Concerning the result of last weeks cleo
tons in this state the St Louis Democratof
the 9th says Our dispatches have includ
ed returns from thirty eight counties. in
Guiding the most populous and most of the
rebel strongholds. In these counties we
have radical majority of II, 578.
In 1864 at the Presidential election. these
counties cast So, 067 votes more than two
thirds Of the vote of the state, of which 46,
492 were for Lincoln aud 22,575 for Nc.
Clellan. The majority in these counties
was then 23,9l7, and as compared wiSl
that election the majority now reported
shows loss which, if continued through
the state, would make the radical majority
about "a, But this loss is caused to y
large extent 10y the greatly increased rebel
vote IN certain counties, and large pronor-
ton OF the Radical counties, where the req
istration act has been fully enforced, remain
to be heard from. For those counties there.
fore an estimate based upon the vote of 1868
upon the New Constitution will probahlv
prove more reliable.
In 1865, in the counties already reported
there were cast 81, 40S votes, out of a total
of So, SIS divided as follows. Yes %, 1856:
No %, 322; majority against the Constitu-
ton, 8, 1876 As we have now II, SIS major
ity in those counties, the gain is Is, ia
since 1865, and a proportionate gain in the
counties to be heard from would give ma
Jority of about 80. 000"
