SUICIDE - 4 Young NIan ffom New OPleans.

Hot SPRINGS, Ark, August This usu-,
ally quiet place was startled by the an
nOuneoment last evening that John r.
Wilson. a young, highly educated and
wealthy city of New Orleans, had suddenly
and unceren nOniously put an end to his ex-
istsnce. L The circumstances, as Ihave been
able to obtain them from parties Intimately
acquainted with the deceased, are briefly
theee: t. i'' o.t ~
Young Wilson had for many years. been
addicted to dissipation, to redeem him from
which his friends sent him to this place
some three months ago. in company with
Charles d. Brandenberg, of New Orleans,
who was his constant companion. vii.
sons habits were by no means improved
BY his visit to the springs; on the contrary,
he went step by step TO the very lowest
depth Of dissipation. -'
, Learning th!s, his mother, sister and
brother came here some ten days since, ,
with the hope that their presence would
have q tendency to restrain bis wayward
Wilson went to Little Rock, from which
place he telegraphed his mother that he
was dying, and that he desired to see her
Immediately. Mrs. Wilson took carriage
aud rode all night, reaching Little Rock at
an early hour in the morning. Greatly to
her surprise she found her son in excellent
health. At Little Rock NJ. Wilson met
her husband, who had arrived from New
Orleans. On Monday last Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson, companied by their son, came to
this place, taking rooms at the Grand Cen
trail Hotel Young Wilson ON his arrival
seemed very cheerful. but did not mip2le
with the guests OF the hotel. -..
AT . few rninutes past six O'Clock on yes
terday evening the report OF pistol was
heard in the second story. On entering his
room young Wilson was found lying at full
length upon the door, with pistol wound
in the head. 05; - --',.-. = ..e-..I --u.
The ball was fred from small derringer
pistol, and entered the right temple. pene.

ute., without ustering word. rs:rs2 Il
This sudden, terrible and unexpected
tragedy overwhelmed his family with the
deepest sorrow for tho loss OF their dear
but errin2 boy. Miss Wilson, sister Of
the deceased. . beautiful and highly &C.
complished lady. was 90 much effected by
the tragic occurrence that she was sudden.
ly taken very ill, and at the present time
fears are entertained for her recovery.

[ Frem the Daily Saratogian.l

Twenty years ago, or even ten years ago,
Saratoga would have been set ali agog by
what it has beheld with only quiet sort Of
curiosity during the last two or three days
Among our guests at the present time are
some half . dozen colOred gentlemen from
South Carolina and Louisians, members Of
the respective Legislatures Of those States,
and le OF them occupying high official
position in the city of New Orleans! These
gentlemen are OF different shades, from the
sOOty black of Senator Barber to the light
mT!atto of Colonel Lewis. They are wide
awake, intelligent persons. with as much
and more, culture and intelligence than is
sometimes seen in the white legislator at
our own capital city of Albany.
they are enjoying themselves il Saratoga
like anybody else, and although they don't
put up" az our big hotels, we noticed
them hob-nobbing yesterday with some Of
our frst-clAss southern visitors. There
goes one Of my constituents" observed
Senator Burch. a day or two since, as a
New Orleans gentleman gave him . cordial
greeting and passed on. And as ex-Gove.
nor -Warmoth shook hands with Colonel
Lewis in front Of the grand stand at the
races, standing out IN full view OF the
aristocratic throng that looked down upon
them, il was difficult to decide which one
of the two tall .keen-visaged Americans"
was the better gentleman. Indeed, We
could not hut note the fact that the "Lou-
isiana delegation" as they are generally
called, had the e,nee of the grand stand
the same as anybody else, and that they
were treated c0urteou.ly by the Southern
ers present. many OF whom knew them per-
sonally. .-,:..

to settle with the purchasers of cash for
State warrants of the current issue, he dis
covered tha. Mr.. Dubuclet was. not pre-.
pared to enter into the al :angement &C.
cording to the formulas laid down by him
Therefore. the Auditor Immediately placed
the cash in the hands Of Mr.. H. Newgass, a
we'll known broker. who, upon the order Of
the Auditor. paid out the same in exchange
foe warrants, according to the figures Of
Tuesdays sale. This movement gave ri. g
considerable feeling among holders Of State
securities, which seemed to be materially
unsettled yesterday evening. We fear Mr..
Clinton, ~ this instance, has gone little
further than any law authorizes OF any
court will justify. . 7-~

Car Rfder Again.

"Car Rider" it seems, when he wrote up
his grievances for Roundsbout's column,
''had his hidden sorrow" We didn't know
that he ran against . paint pot, or that
some bungling fellow stained his legs with
the unpleasant unguent. But Ithis seems
to have been the case, hence bis general
denunciation OF carriers Ct bundles in
street cara. 1t is this denunciation We took
exception to. Had he limited his complaint
to the fellow who smeared his pantaloons'
he would have had our cordial sympathy
And We will go further, and, in defense of
those who carry bundles in street ears, in.
eist that those who can not travel without
making . nuisance of themselves ought to
be put out Of the ears at once-bundles or
no bundles. We are quite confident an ac-
ton for damages would lie against the man
who painted Gar Riders legs, in accord.

As far back as the month of January last

the amount Of his indebtedness 10 the
State. Accordingly the, suit ON the bond
against Blanchard and the Hon. John Ray,
surety, was brought in time to be tried st
at our May term of court, but was not
tried, owing to the accidental delay IN get
ting the testimony In time, and to the
law which prohibits the trial Of any civiI
