The alarm was instantly given and several off cers of the regiment haslened Co the 1 room, when It was discovered that the General had committed suicide The l revolver was still grasPed in his hand ! and bullet wound through his l mouth intO the brain told the history of the death plainly. The body was 1 cold and stiff and life had evidently l been extinct for several hours, prob- | ably since midnight. No papers or anything that might might serve to indicate the cau.e of the act have as vet been discovered. bat neither body | nor effects in his room have been | touched, awaiting the arrival of the 1 Coroner.

 NEW YORK, March 15.-The Times says the general hopeiulness and go 'd will with which the new administra- ton was greeted, and which bade fair to grow stronger SO long as its record continued free from serious bleuuish, makes the feeling of disappointment more grievOus that it has already com mItted a sad and inexcusable error in renewing the appointment of Stan lev Matthews for the vacant place on the Supreme bench. He has not only repeated one of the injudicious and -obiectionablo acts of his predecessor, but has done 1t without his excuse in the face of an expression of repug- nance which hIs predecessor may not have anticipated.
