Explanation of s.Col. j. L. Pickett" in Resa d
to the $4,000 fee-lnteresting Disclosures,
&C., &C.
y Washington, July ia person signing
y. L. Pickett, Confederate States Diplo-
matte Agent, near the government of Mex
ico," publishes long letter in explanation
of his connection with the transaction,
whereby the United States paid him $751;
900.
| Pickett claims to have acted merely as
attorney. lie says ''the documents consist
of the entire archives of the Confederate
States-nothing more nor less, without the
abstraction of Of single document. The
secret service vouchers by which many
persons of little note however, might have
been compromised, did not leave Richmond
with those more public papers, but were
| faithfully and honorable destroyed by Mr.,
Benjamin, on the day of the evacuation.
Had any such papers come into my posses
sion, | should have been burned at the State
sooner than deliver them over to the COM
mon government.
/" Thus | do not perceive that any body
is hurt and there is but one paper, the peru
sal of which gave me any pain.
The Hon. Jacob Thompson's report of
operations on the frontier, &C., the exist
ence of which was unknown to me until
the officer with whom | lately went to Cam
ada, found it, as ne would testify if called
upon. 1t was too late then to recede. nor
could | have been induced to faIsify history
by destroying it, and here follows q
curious episode: Knowill that the doc
uments exhibited the fact that Mr..
Thompson had very large amount Of
Confederate States gold in his possession at
the time of the collapse, which gold has
gone where the woodbine twineth;"
went a long journey last summer to sec
him, and out of abundant Kindness tcld
him of the fact that such papers were still
extant. He would not be convinced, say
ing that Mr.. Benjamin had told him that
everything of the kind had been DESTROYED,
and | dare say he was so informed and
believed, this being manifestly the
cue of that wiley Hebrew in order to share
in the plumber aforesaid. Now nasmuch
as the Confederate government was in
debted to the writer to the amount of at
least $50, 900 of that gold, on hqui1ated &C.
count, the writer felt virtuously indignant
that Messsrs. T. and B. should have cob.
bled it all,
by Mr.. Ihompson's permission after.
wards addressed him on the subject in the
hope that he would make an effort to Sc.
cure the entire mass of documents, but he
treated my letter with offensive silence
Now the publication of his report will
doubtless cause him, with Jefferson Dayi.
and j. p. Benjamin to feel uncomfortable
for little while, but as expec
to 90 to neither of them when | die
my sympathy shall not be of heart-rend
! ing character; especially as they have al
three treated me badly enough in my tim
and theirs. | am albeit unintentionally tn
instrument Of the execution of sort O
poetic justice upon them"
The letter does no credit to the author
the Federal government, or the mysteriou
parties who owned the documents, and Their
are parties here who question the faithful
ness of some of the details.

LOCAL MATTERS.

DESPERATE SUICIDE.--A most despe-
rate case of suicide occurred in this city
last evening. A young man named James
Murphy, who resided with his brother, Cd
Cary street, between Seventh and Eigth,
drank two and half ounces of laudanum
in soda-cocktail. As soon as the rash
deed came to the knowledge of his relatives,
Drs. Beal and Ross were hurriedly sum-
moned, and applied all their skill to re-
move the poison from the stomach. A
large quantity Off was withdrawn by means
Of the stomach pump, and every
known means resorted to IN order to
enable the system to resist the influences
of the deadly drug. The young man was
subjected to the severest exercise and his
back was dashed fearfully, and salt applied
to the wounds produced, in order to create
the desired rejection. But all the efforts of
the medical attendants and friends proved
abortive, and the young man died about
one O'Clock this morning. We have no au-
thoritatiye statement of the cause which led
to the rash deed, but it is hinted by his
young companions that his death was the
sad termination of love affair.
