bounteous parent, Nature, has lavished

man, that the testimony before the Re

was from six different witnesses, nearly
all OF whom were cross-examined by
Democratic counsel, and while these wit
nesses proved specific eases Of intimida.
tion and violence, no witnesses have been
produced before the subcommittee to
traverse these specific allegations, nor
have the parties charged with being
guilty been produced to deny the accusa-
tions, and that the Democratic testimony
brought before the House Committee
thus far consists in general impeachment
OF the credibility OF witnesses, and general
proof Of quiet and peaceful election.
The question, from n Republican stand.
point, now is, whether the evidence
brought before the Returning Board, and
not contradicted or impeached before the
Board, was sufficient TO, justify them in
their action in the premises.

DIVORCED BY DEATH.
sensational Domestic Tragedy In
Richmond, Indiana,

RICHMOND, December 23.-Henry Fl
Sonnickson, proprietor Of the Indiana
House, on Main street, between Pearl and
Front streets, committed suicide at .
o'clock this morning. The cause which
led to this act was an application for d.
yorce made TO the Wayne Circuit Court
by Mrs. Sonnlckson, who claimed that
owing to dissipated HABITS, her husband
was unable to maintain her. The case
was set for trial this morning. Yesterday
Mr.. Sonnickson, in an interview will, his
wife, tried to have her withdraw her an.
plication for divorce, saying she would
do 30 II she knew what was best for her,
and intimated that he would give her con.
siderable trouble. When urged by his
lawyer TO have his witnesses oil ready,
he said the case would not I've tried TO.
day. ''.
Mr.. Sonnickson was in his son Louie's
room at an early hour this morning, the
boy being his only child, aged ten years,
by previous marriage. At n little after
8 o'clock Sonnickson passed his wife in
the hotel doorway without speaking,
asked to have few moments converse.
tion with Louie, whom he rat upon his
knee for several moments.
When Mrs. sonnickSon was ready 10
go TO the court house, the little boy asked
TO accompany her. 10 this the father
objected at hrsL but finally consented,
and the mother and child went out.
The father then got his breech. loading
shotgun, and while conversing with a
gentleman in the sitting.roOm Of the
house about hunting, proceeded TO load
the,gun, and then leisurely went up pstairs.
Mrs. Sonnickson's eldest boy soon after
saw his step.father in the parlor with
the gun resting against the wall. Passing
down stairs tue boy met his mother, who,
in passing the parlor door, which was
ajar, saw smoke issuing from the room,
and entering saw her husband sitting in
a large arm chair, the gun upon the floor,
covered with blood. -
The wife only had time to say, Henry,
how did you do itF when her husband
slightly raised his eyes and expired. She
and assistance came speedily.
Coroner Dyer, who was absent
Hagerstown, holding an inquest, was
promptly notified Of the tragedy, and
some additions, facts may be elicited al
his inquest. TWAS apparent, by close
examination Of the room, that Mr. Son.
nickson placed the butt OF the gun upon
the floor, holding it in an upright posi-.
tion with his knees, and pressed the trig.
ger with short stick laying beside the
gun.
The widow sonnickson thinks that her
late husband contemplated the murder
Of his son Louis as well as his own sui.
eide, but his accompanying her TO the
court house prevented double tragedy.
There are mnny rumors aaoat that the |
gun had been loaded for the purpose OF
murder, and that the fatal shot wap acci.
dental, but the position OF the corpse, sit.
ting upright in the armchair, the short
stick by the side Of the discharged gun,
and all, would indicate suicide as speedy

Another Revolution IN san DO.

nsFeaidency. U

HAVANA, December 24.--An English
mail steamer from st. Adams, December
18th, brings advices from the city Of San
Domingo, December 10Th. Another rev.
olution has occurred in San Domingo.
President Gonzales, who was called back
to power when President Esrhallat was
deposed, again resigned his office on the
eLh Inst, and embarked for LayaguE,
Porto Rico. Thiseyent was the result Of
a general rising Of the BaeIist party in
the streets Of San Domingo. Fight.
ing followed, and continued for several
days. When President Gonzales heard
that the northern provinces had
likewise risen against him, he resigned
to prevent further bloodshed and retired
10 theU. s. Consulate, whence he took his
passage for Porto Rico. Immediately af.
ter his resigning provisional govern
ment was organized and 4 vessel dis
patched TO Curacao, where Ex.Presilent
Baez resides, to convey to him the news
Of his restoration to the Presidency.
ltis affirmed that the principal cause
Of Gonzale resignation was the treason
OF Gen. Villanneya, whom the President
had always considered his best friend
and 6rmest supporter. When Gonzales
heard that the General had Joined
the revolution, he gave up the struggle.
Commerce was completely paralyzed by
these events, and money was scarce.
