The recent suicide In Atlanta,
Georgia, of Colons! Samuel J. An-
deraou, formerly a ntcd ililleian
and for a time rcretsryof War
uuder Geueral Taylur, terminated
a remarkable career in a remarka
ble manner. Ue attired himself
carefully In his best clothes, arran
ged a eounterpaue upon the floor of
his room, apou which he extended
himself, grai-pcd a pistol In both
hands, idncsd the muzzle In his
mouth, aud ended his unhappy ex
IstfMico. ' In hit room wore found
several letters, oqo eommenclug:
"Thoughtfully, even cheerfully, I
ohey the stern Bat of Irreais ible
circumstances, without dl-oussion
and without murmur. My remar
kable vigor aud acknowledged to
pacltiea seem utterly unavailable
for ordinary purncaes. Be It so."
There were aleo memoranda head
ed 11 Private and Pciaonal,': where
in he Bieutlonud his wish as to the
rilRpbsal of his few effects. Among
the nro visions was this: "For
Burial I thliikbirf,'.drawcra and
socks, with my big cloak wrapped
around me, will be quite sufficient
I have tried to save money enough
to bury sue and express my trunk,
etc.. I shall bvu about sixty do)
lira in pantaloons pocket." An
other provision read as follows:
"To General Robert Toombs (not
private) My pistol, with my rtu
ommendatton that he rid the world
of his presence by imitating my
example." It appears that Toombs
having found Auderson in want
had given bf.u employment in his
office. He was treated with kind
ness, Tooiubs permitting him to
draw his salary before it was due.
A short timo ngo ho made a draft
on Toombs and had it cashed, but
wns chagrined to And it dishonor
ed. 1 1 enco his resentment against
his benefactor.
To tho Honorable Board of Lcvco
CommUNtuneri of tho District
of Bolivar, Washington and Is
eauueun : -
As tho taxpayeri of tho district'
linvftbocoiiiediapatbuVd and clam
orous m tho subject of tho contin
uance of tho oppressive lovce tax
ation ; and inasmuch ns many be
lieve that there are still lu circu
lation as tunny bonds as there were
years ngo, wo. would respectfully
solicit of the Honorable Board to
gratify tho public mind in this re- j
pect, aud satlsly them that the
Itds were cancelled or destroyed
as they were paid off. Wo have
every confidence iu our represent
atives from Bolivar county Pres.
blent Myers and Colonel Bruce,
member that they will do liH in
their power to satisfy tho wishes
und to guard tho hit crests of the
people whom they represent; but
as these people are becoming more
and more impoverished by con
tinuous tribute, and see and fuel
that the burden is becoming heav
ier aud heavier, they naturally fear
that there is no aid at hand, but
feel liko poor Tantalus, with tho
unp of comfort forever touching
their lips hut forever receding:
beyond their reach. Now, In or
der to satisfy the minds of the
leopl.', aud to prevent future dis
satisfaction and discussion, wo
would most respectfully solicit the
Honorable Board to make or cause
to be mado an Immediate " exhibit"
of their financial status; setting
forth the amount of money collec
ted per annum; tho amount duo
from default ing lauds ; the amouut
appropriated for the erection of
levees; the amount paid for re
pairing of levocs: the expenditure
for salary of officials, etc., and the
amount of bonds liquidated an
nually. We do not claim a legal
right to demand this of your Hon
orable body, but appeal lb, that
courtesy which exists In all busU
liens transactions, between man
and mail, or liotwecn indlvidnnlH
and corporate bodies.

Mississippi, with but one-tenth
of the property owned by Massa

double as much salary, exclusive
of enormous perquisites ; with not
one-seventh of the property of
Ohio, she pays her Governor orte
third more ; with littlo less than
one-third the property of Connec
