Drowned In the Sound.

NEW YORK MERCHANTS BODY FOUND Al NEW HAVEN.
 The body of George Trull. well-knowI merchant of this city, was found In Long Island Sound, near the railroad depot at New Haven, yesterday morning. Mr. Trull had been engaged in the dry goode 1 trade in this city for a good many years, and since his marriage, about fifteen years ago, had lived at Elizabeth, N. J. For some time past he had been suffering from malaria, and his wife was an invalid also. On Saturday last they broke up housekeeping, Mrs. Trull going to Balti- more with her two children, intending to spend the Fall and Winter at the home of her parents.
 MT. Trull was to take lodgings in this city and continue his business. On We'd nesday last he lett Elizabeth for this city at the usual hour, and ill tha afternoon of the same day took Sound boat, but whether for New Haven CT Boston is not at present known, although his brother, Mir. William E. Trull, who lives in this city, left for Boston on the same day, and is expected back this evening. MT. George Trull also left word with his friends at Elizabeth that he would return to day. Nothing has been heard from Mir. William E. Trull concerning the fate of his brother, and it is not definitely known, therefore, whether the two men left this city together or not
 MT. Trull's body was identified by the articles found in his pockets. Besides a gold watch and some money he had a communication ticket between New York and Elizabeth on which his name appear ed He also had a business card which read George & William E. Trull, dry goods on commission, 56 Worth street, New York" The body had apparently been in the water two days and bore no marks of violence. From this iatter fact it was generally supposed that the man had either fallen accidentally or leaped from Sound steamboat,
 corners inquest was held, and a sur gical examination of the body made. This examination revealed two small wounds in the back ot the neck, They were of an insignificant character, however, and the doctors decision was that death had been caused by drowning. How he came in the water is mystery. A man in his senses could hardly have met with such an accident, as the water of the harbor is several rods from the depot, and a num- Der of railroad tracks have to ba crossed to reach 1t.

 Staid old Wooster street, which Is backed i'll behind the jail that seems to stand guard oyer it, and fianked bv the old burylng ground on one side and the skeleton of the old dejunct Universalist church on the other, which seem to SOL emnize things whereabouts, ordinarily a well ordered street, furnished more than it's share of excitement for the past few days.

Te ths Editor ofFsg Bzg,
 The writer of the obituary notice of young Thomas Mccarthy in last weeks issue, apparently was not properly posted when he said that 1t was uncertain of what disease he died from. There was no uncertainty, nor a shadow of uncer- tainty about the case. It was plain case of inflammation of the bowels, so diagnos- Heated from the first by the family phy- sician, and so explained to and under stood by the family. Very respectfully,

THE IN INVESTIGATION y OF THE
 BRIBERY MATTER.

We give our readers to-day an. other batch of the testimony taken before the committee appointed by the General Assembly to investigate the alleged bribery in the recent Senatorial race. The testimony giv- en in this issue is more direct aud pointed than any yet elicited, but there is evidently disposition on the part of all the witnessed exam ined to keep back all they can, and to tell as little as possible. The tes- timony of Furbush and Dawson is startling, and leaves very little room 60 longer doubt the truth of the ale gations that there was strong ef- fort made to use morey corruptly in the election of Col Johnson. IL is humiliating and disgracetul specta. cie, and we regret exceedingly that the thing could not have been clear ed up without leaving the stan up on our State which such transactions attach.
 The best and only thing that can be done now is for the State to purge herself of the disgrace by thorough investigation, and by fixing the foul stigma just exactly upon the parties who have been interruptions enough to attempt this unlawful method of making U. :. Senator, and then let them take the consequences.
 It is matter about which our Legislature cannot afford to evince any indifference, and we trust for the sake of our reputation, that there will be no weakness or squeamishness displayed on the part of the committee or the Gener al Assembly in handling this matter. We are now into it, and disagreea' blc as it is we must go through with it.

A woMAN's LOSS.

It has now become a mooted question among scientists whether or not wom- ans primitive beauty and vigor, which have been lost. could not be restored anu extended by the action of certain constitutional agents. These agents must necessarily regulate and build up, fotify and aGtagonze all existing female irregularities and distinctions which have produced the ill heal il, must re- vitallze the blood and gve youthful bloom to the cheeks. The remedy must unload the locked up seeretions, must add red corpuscles to the blood, aid digestion and streghen the feeble. We are glad to announce that such remedy has been found, and thousands of ladies are being restored by its use, It is known as Dr. Dromgoole's English Female Bitters.

We see that,a few, and only few, of the brethren of the state press are repnblishing an extract credited to the Hot Springs Seminal, wherein correspondent, Mustang" alleges that we offered MT. Holifield $500 to vote for Johnson. This is a lie without shade or coioring, and any one who says we ever offered MT. Hoiitiele, or any other man, $500, { T any other sum, to vote for Col. John son, IS liar and fraud. For it is. and was. well know fact here, at Little Rock and elsewhere, that we were not for Col. Johnson. as can
 li,late for U. $. Senator. and the ut
 terence of such an allegation shows the rottenness of ihe person who made it. We couldn't he expected to offer money to aid a canse that wc were privately and openly opposed to.

Johnson high ami j,st regard for his social and political worth as a gen,lemau, true ana tried. we had another choice, and we have the same right to our preference as any other man.- Batesyilie Guar.l.
