Hanson Good, Chairman of the special leg
islative committee to investigate the State f.
nanees, AID President of the Board of Nam
ayers to conduct tho impeachment trials of
Auditor Bennett and Treasurer Burdett, and
was Informed by him that the Board would
meet at Charlest"w1 some time in August for
consultation Wheeling Standard.
We are glad to see this These gentlemen
have very responsible duty in charge, and
ought to move in this work with great cir
cumspection. If our officials betrayed their
trust they should be prosecuted with vigor ;
but if they are not guilty, the State should be
saved the expense of trial. We assure the
managers, that Jefferson will preserve her
reputation for hospitality. In this connection
We remark that we are likely to have great
number of strangers in town during the ses~
sion of the Supreme Court, and our citizens
should see to it, that they are cordially re-
ceiTed.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-To many OF our
readers the following from the Pitfsburg
Dispatch of Monday morning last will need
no elucidation About eleven o'clock yes
terday morning young man uained W. H.
Maguire while under the influence OF liquor,
attempted 10 force death upon himself by
cutting his throat with a razor. He is about
twenty-seven years of age, and has been
stopping temporarily with friend living on
Forty fourth street. For some days, u IS
said, he has been drinking more heavily
than is safe for one desirous of maintaining
his reason, and when he committed the act
was undoubtedly insane. Under the I'M
presssion that lie was being pursued by
some unknown enemy, he seized hold of the
instrument and gave quick cash across
the throat, fortunately not deep nor OF great
length. He was placed under the care Of
DR. Hanna and after the wound was dressed
expressed much regret ut what he had done.
Mcguire is said 70 be one of the postmasters
of the United States Senate, and had ar
rived from Washington on a visit but a few
days ago.
