CINCINNATI, June l9.-There has been
much sorrow manifested here over the trag-
ioal cad of Mr.. Vallsndigham. No one was
present with him when the accident occurred,
out Lieut.. Gov. MeBurney. He expressed
some doubts that Myers had shot himself,
when NallandighAm picked pistol from of
the table, saying, that he would show MN
how it was done. He put it in his pocket
aud withdrew it, keeping the muzzie next
his body. just as it lett the pocket it was
discharged, the ball entering IN nearly the
same place where Myers was shot he ex-
claimed, "Oh, murder!' When the surgeon
was examining his wound, he watched him
snxiously, and even assisted 10 the search
tor The ball. When the pistol was discharged
Mr.. Nsllandigham did not realize the dan
gerous nature of the wound, and walked
round the room several times before laying
down. Rev. Mr.. Hsight called to see him,
and Nallsndigham taking him BY the hand,
said he had too much faith in the CslvinistIc
doctrine to believe the wound would prove
fatal. When DR.. Reeve arrived, he asked
10 be alone with his patient, and intimased
TO him that the wound WAS of serious ma
ture. Mr.. Vsllsndlghsm reminded him OF
several bad cases OF INJURIES, known to both,
where the injured persons had recovered
and asked If they we're not worse than his ,
to which the reluctant reply was given,
/ Possibly So" He conversed with the Doc
tor about private matters, gave directions
concerning his business, and Was remarka-
bly calm TO the last, and appeared to be in
| full possession OF his faculties. His last re-
quest was for ice and medicine 10 Rllay the
pain. In the last moments his face ndics-
ted great physical suffering. His son Charles
was with him until he died. His remains
left Lebanon at P. NJ. for Dayton.
The Times this evening publishes an in
terview had between Mr.. Nallsndigham and
one Of its editors on Wednesday, IN which
Mr.. Nalandigham said there can be no
more Iolit cal campaigns fought on the issue
of the last few years they are dead, and Il
the Democratic party refuses TO move TO the
front 20 accept the new order of things j
will simply pass away, and some other party
made up OF earnest progressive elements o.
both the old parties, will take possession
Mr. Y, when asked if he did not think the
campaign of 10 would be fought on tbs
present issues, said that it may be under
taken by our party, but IL will fail. yea

lead the Republican party into q new depart

back and scared him with gAoble about de

ruts. Grant ia an honest man and would d.

Y the remaining three balls. Mr.. V. sa
mo, never mind" and though Millken
peated the advise, he disreg arded it, v
the result already known.
