Col. SCOTT, late of U. S. A., who commit.
ted suicide in San Francisco few days ago,
was driven to the deed by getting word from
his first and true wife in England, of big for
tune left to her. and her intention to come to
him soon. She was not aware that he had
proved faithless to her, and married n second
time, while he held commission in the late war.
His second wife was an Ohio belle-.a great fa.
vorite with Chief Justice Chase. Remorse of
conscience, and fear of meeting his wrouqed
but con6ding true wife, drove him to suicide.

charge or to offer vindlcation Mr.. Cram must
not fail to remember, however, that the Legis

himself I'd Cram) who stated to them that
Mr.. Bishops books and accounts were in so
confused condition that he could make
nothing of them. But, we presume, under
pressure of Gov. Billiards. threat to remove
him from Office unless he bent to Executive
demands, easy-going Mr.. Cram has written
this late.day vindicatiou of Gov Billiards.
