VIM, J. MCCULLOUGH.

Yesterday afternoon, whilst bathing
at the lake end, VIM. j. Mccullough
was seized with sudden spasm and
expired. Mr.. Mccullough has filled
during his useful lite many important
positions in the State. Before the war
he served eleven years as Surveyor
General of the State with remarkable
ability, leaving brilliant record of in
tegrity and devotion to duty. When
hostilities opened between. the North
and South, true to his native
State, he followed the banner of the
Confederacy and served with honor as
staff officer ia the Trans Mississippi
Department. When peace followed, he
returned to his former avocations as sur
veyor and land agent, and recently he
was appointed expert to examine the
records Of tho State Land Office. He
had many warm friends in the city and
throughout the State, who will learn Of
his untimely taking off with deep re-
greet, while they will revere his memory
as that Of a true gentleman and an
honest citizen.

We publish this morning a letter adj

We publish this morning letter adj
dressed .by Secretary Sherman to Col
lector King. which should set the public
at rest as to his status with the authori-
ties at Washington. There could hardly
be forthcoming more complete refuta-
ton OF the rumors Of dissatisfaction
with his course and the consequent
probability that his name would not be
sent to the Senate, all of which, doubt
less, owe their origin to the horde OF
schemers who are endeavoring to force
themselves into the offices at his dis
posal. Judge King seems to have proven
not the amiable weakness he was sup
posed to be when selected by his osten-
sible sponsors for his present position,
and we confess, our qualification in re-
cording this Tact. He is evidently a
man who likes to manage his own at
fairs, and we are glad to see that he is
sustained in this disposition by the
President and Secretary Of the Treas
ury. in spite Of the Returning Board
and the Liberal 10 Conservative press.

hand, or we would not breathe q sylla-
BILE of his intent. His article must BIO
set up by this time, and the proprietors
Of the Revie,c, knowing what demand
it will provoke, wouldn't distribute the
type for any price. Stoughton is fore
doomed, predestine as Balzac would
have called him. In his article on the
Great Fraud Judge Black disappointed
the multitude, who missed the biting
irony and scathing scorn which that
gentleman commands in SO great de-
gree. But, to the critical, 1t was EVIL
dent that the eCOrclteur withheld his
hand for obvious reasons, and these
confidently expected that some rash
creature would criticise his work and
give him the stimulus and provocation
he needed for the full sweep of his
knife. Stoughton has offered himself
up as the victim, and when Judge Black
has hayed him we predict that no sue
cessor will tempt his fate. The Novem-
Der number OF the North american Re
uie,c will be we'll worth its cost, and we
give it this notice in advance, gratis.

out any such authority. With refer
ence to the implied criticism on Vir-
ginia's post betlum Governors, we
can only say that we were apprised Of
the merits of her chief magistrates,
and that they presented contrast in
this respect to those Of the other South
ern States, but in the hurry Of writing
we failed TO discriminate. In our men
tai forecaste Of the editorial referred to,
we proposed to explain the source Of
Gen. Mahone's influence, which was de-
rived from the circumstance that to
him is attributed the election of Gov.
Walker and the exceptionally happy re-
suits that Virginia derived therefrom.
Of Gov. Kemper's merits we were not
less informed, and we trust that no harm
has been done by our generalization.

some very disreputable characters.

Troops Sent 10 the Island.

LONDON, July ia letter from Mad.
rid says: The Spanish authorities are
preparing to send $4,000 men to Cuba, in
October, TO fill the gaps caused by dis.
ease and death. The Ministers propose
to raise the necessary funds TO forward
these reintorcements by another appeal
to the Association OF Planters and Finan.
ciers, who furnished an advance for the
reintorcements sent out a year ago. Their
privilege over the Cuban customs reye.
nue. will be increased and prolonged. To
insure the payment Of interest and an.
nual sinking fund, the Ministers have
allowed the Cortes to understand that, il
necessary, the Government will make
even greater sacrifices. 1t Is singular to
observe that the Improvement Of Cuban
affairs and the visible decrease OF rebel.
lion does not convince most people Of the
ultimate paci6cation Of the Island.

SAN FRANclsco, July ia Portland
press dispatch says: The Commission
to-day examined number Of witnesses
regarding the character Of Stiles and
Wilson.
Senator Kelly considered that Mosier
was thoroughly an honest man, but given
to excessive use Of liquor, and when un.
der its influence said and did some very
foolish things.
Smith was recalled and repeated his
testimony regarding the interview with
Moaier, who, be thought, was 10 earneat
in stating that he (Mosier) could got
eleven hundred dollars for his vote.
Henry H. Gilway testified that Stiles'
statement was absolutely false. Grover
never spoke to me about buying 4 voter;
never offered Gooman or any member Of
the Legislature money or other consider
alton TO influence votes for Grover or
any one else. Had / attempted to use
bribery l think l would have known Il.
Wilson told me that some Of the Custom
House crowd had offered him money to
vote against Grover. The latter always
told me that he would use no corrupt
means 10 gain the election.
