of the life of the dead. The population of
Mexico is hy6red, mixture of the differ

Preston King and Mrs. SurraIt.
The Evening Telegraph of Monday ap-
peared very indignant aud very much
some paper to the effect that ex-senator
Preston King, of New York, drowned him
self because of remorse for his having per-
sistently refused to admit Miss Srrratt to
see the President while her mother was
under sentence of death. This is no new
story; neither is it without foundation,
and pretty strong foundation. 1t is well
known that Preston King was con guard"
at the White House at that tine Who
placed him there we know not but he
was there, and turned deaf ear to Miss
Surratt's most earnest and eloquent plead
ings to be permitted to sec the President
in behalf of her convicted mother.
The mother was exccuted-neuroered
Not even the recommendation of mercy
signed by majority Of even the military
officers who condemned her on pm chased
testimony, was allowed to reach the eyes of
the President. The White House was
hermetically sealed against any and all of
her friends. even he weeping daughter, and
Preston King was the instrument by
which it was thus sealed Not long after
Mr.. King drowned himself
Why! He had no other great cause of
grief; nothing to make him desire to leave
the world. He was id good health, he was
wealthy, he occupied an honorable position
in society, held lucrative and an honora-
bic Office, (the Collectorship of New York
and was blessed with everything calcuIat-
ed to make life desirable Why, then,
did he commit suicide? Was 1T not the
ghost of the murdered Mrs Surratt, ard
the grief stricken form of her daughter,
that drove him to the desperate deed?
He perhaps was responsible too, for
keeping the President ignorant of the rec
ommendation of Mrs Surratt to executive
clemency, as he was of preventing Miss
Surratt from pleading with the President
for her mothers life He had served as a
wretched tool i'll the hands of Stanton and
Holt. to consummate the murder of an in
nocent woman, and the consciousness of all
this proved too much for a man naturally
as kind hearted as was Preston King
Under the curse of this damnipg conscious
ness life became insupportable, and he put
an end to his wretched earthly existence
Such is the belief of many who are famil-
lar with the facts above stated, and who
well knew IIr. King, and no affected in
dignation of the telegraph can change
their belief.-~Htladclphia Daily Nees.
