A large crowd was attracted ‘to the spotby the repert--of the.weapon, and the man upon being raised from the floor was able to speak, and in atiswertola quesfion as'to who’ shot itn said—‘‘I did it myself.””. He ed profusely from the mouth, and ud was surely mortal; but as he appeared to be in possession of his faculties and was able to speak, it was soon thought that there might yet be a chance for his recovery, and . accordingly he was taken to his . room. At last accounts little doubt of iis ultimate recovery was entertained,.The cause.of the bloody attetiipt is sald to haw been réecnt heavy losses at faro. He came from Salt Lake about two weeks since, with from $16,000. to: $16,000, all of which.he lost in ganibling, losing $6,000 night before last, and running in debt $100 or $200 besides. Not having the means of paying these debts he determined to‘end his life and troublestogether. He told some of his acquaintances that he was ashamed to look any man in the face and seemed not only gloomy but wild in his manner. In order to rid himself of life, he first tried poison, taking chloral-hydrate, but, as he teld-an-aequaintance, in speaking of what he had done the night before, the dose was too large and he vomited it up. _He tried during the afternoon of Monday to gét a pistel from several persons, but did not succeed. He finally went to Block's shop and bargained for a deringer. He asked Mr. Block to get it loaded for him, and to bring it to the International Saloon, when he wo.ld take it. Block had it loaded, then took it to the saloon, handing it to McKenney through the-window of the cigar stand. McKenney stood in the saloon near the stand, and taking the pistol, asked if it was all right. He turned to the bar, took a drink of cider; then placed the pistol in his mouth and’ fired, ‘ with’ the result above given. He left a letter in. the hands.of a friend, the contents of which that friend does not think it advisable under,the cixcumstances to publish. The substance of the letter, however, is tothe effect that he hoped God forgive him the rash act of taking his own life, but that he felt himself disgraced and did not care tu live loner, with some directions about writing to his mother. Those who know hini speak of him as conducting himself in a quiet and gentlemanly manner, and say that they never saw him drink anything stronger than cider or some white wine, but there is also a report that, he somewhere killed two nien in fights, ‘and that he is a dangerous man.

The New York Tribune g@vertini to the fact that even if by. syndicaté arrangément, ‘the “first installment of the five per cent. loan has been placed, it hag beemat an expénge of between two and three per cent. for commissions, and that it is apperent that five per cent. can not now be negotiated at par, suggests a finan‘eial Scheme thitt attracts considerablé attention. This is, that currency bonds be issued, bearing 3.65 per cent. interest and redeemable on demand, into which the greenback notes, shall . . beconyertible. Thebank statements show that the total avefage deposits on call, drawing ao interest, amount to from one-half to two-thirds of the entire currency circulation, and the theory is that the major part of these deposits would “be invested: m the 3.65 bonds, which would be payable at call just as bank deposits are, and at the same time would draw. interest; and it is estimated that the “average of these borfds * oustanding would be maintained by investments in them instead of deposits drawing no interest. Supposing the scheme to be successful so far, the first effect would be to reduce the available tunds of the binks, and-naturally to raise the rates of discount. But this it is proposed to obviate, by applying the treasury notes received for the demand bonds in payment of the outstanding six per cent. bonds, and thus restoring the currency to circulation. In payment of the six per cent. bonds it is proposed that first the gold balance in the Treasury be directly ap: plied, and that then the greenbacks be paid for the bonds at the currency value of thelatter. The advocates to the Tribune’s plan claim that in this way during the ‘next twelve . months at least five hundred millions of the bonds bearing six per eent. gold interest could be retired for a like amount of 3 65-100 currency bonds, and reckoning the premium on gold at ten per cent., the annual interest reduced sixteen and threequarter million dollars. And itis argued that, if with this, the gold receipts of the Treasury were as rapidly as received paid out in redemption of the six per cent. bonds, the green-. back currency would ultimalely be restored to par value, This scheme seems to be’ very 6imple, but perhaps what will cause it to receive most consideration is that it -is-not-in the least complex*or difficult . ~ to be understood. But whether it be practicable will be found to be quite us difficult problem as any other connected with national finances, and it may well be questioned whether such bonds as proposed would not simply become a part of theciroulating mediumfand operate to inflate and depreciate the paper currency, A WasHINncTon cofrespondent of the New York Tribune says: ExSenator Williams, of Oregon, arrived here last week from the Pacific coast.

A large crowd was attracted ‘to the spotby the repert--of the.weapon, and the man upon being raised from the floor was able to speak, and in atiswertola quesfion as'to who’ shot itn said—‘‘I did it myself.””. He ed profusely from the mouth, and ud was surely mortal; but as he appeared to be in possession of his faculties and was able to speak, it was soon thought that there might yet be a chance for his recovery, and . accordingly he was taken to his . room. At last accounts little doubt of iis ultimate recovery was entertained,..The cause.of the bloody attetiipt is sald to haw been réecnt heavy losses at faro. He came from Salt Lake about two weeks since, with from $16,000. to: $16,000, all of which.he lost in ganibling, losing $6,000 night before last, and running in debt $100 or $200 besides. Not having the means of paying these debts he determined to‘end his life and troublestogether. He told some of his acquaintances that he was ashamed to look any man in the face and seemed not only gloomy but wild in his manner. In order to rid himself of life, he first tried poison, taking chloral-hydrate, but, as he teld-an-aequaintance, in speaking of what he had done the night before, the dose was too large and he vomited it up. _He tried during the afternoon of Monday to gét a pistel from several persons, but did not succeed. He finally went to Block's shop and bargained for a deringer. He asked Mr. Block to get it loaded for him, and to bring it to the International Saloon, when he wo.ld take it. Block had it loaded, then took it to the saloon, handing it to McKenney through the-window of the cigar stand. McKenney stood in the saloon near the stand, and taking the pistol, asked if it was all right. He turned to the bar, took a drink of cider; then placed the pistol in his mouth and’ fired, ‘ with’ the result above given. He left a letter in. the hands.of a friend, the contents of which that friend does not think it advisable under,the cixcumstances to publish. The substance of the letter, however, is tothe effect that he hoped God forgive him the rash act of taking his own life, but that he felt himself disgraced and did not care tu live loner, with some directions about writing to his mother. Those who know hini speak of him as conducting himself in a quiet and gentlemanly manner, and say that they never saw him drink anything stronger than cider or some white wine, but there is also a report that, he somewhere killed two nien in fights, ‘and that he is a dangerous man.

The New York Tribune g@vertini to the fact that even if by. syndicaté arrangément, ‘the “first installment of the five per cent. loan has been placed, it hag beemat an expénge of between two and three per cent. for commissions, and that it is apperent that five per cent. can not now be negotiated at par, suggests a finan‘eial Scheme thitt attracts considerablé attention. This is, that currency bonds be issued, bearing 3.65 per cent. interest and redeemable on demand, into which the greenback notes, shall . . beconyertible. Thebank statements show that the total avefage deposits on call, drawing ao interest, amount to from one-half to two-thirds of the entire currency circulation, and the theory is that the major part of these deposits would “be invested: m the 3.65 bonds, which would be payable at call just as bank deposits are, and at the same time would draw. interest; and it is estimated that the “average of these borfds * oustanding would be maintained by investments in them instead of deposits drawing no interest. Supposing the scheme to be successful so far, the first effect would be to reduce the available tunds of the binks, and-naturally to raise the rates of discount. But this it is proposed to obviate, by applying the treasury notes received for the demand bonds in payment of the outstanding six per cent. bonds, and thus restoring the currency to circulation. In payment of the six per cent. bonds it is proposed that first the gold balance in the Treasury be directly ap: plied, and that then the greenbacks be paid for the bonds at the currency value of thelatter. The advocates to the Tribune’s plan claim that in this way during the ‘next twelve . months at least five hundred millions of the bonds bearing six per eent. gold interest could be retired for a like amount of 3 65-100 currency bonds, and reckoning the premium on gold at ten per cent., the annual interest reduced sixteen and threequarter million dollars. And itis argued that, if with this, the gold receipts of the Treasury were as rapidly as received paid out in redemption of the six per cent. bonds, the green-. back currency would ultimalely be restored to par value, This scheme seems to be’ very 6imple, but perhaps what will cause it to

receive most consideration is that it -is-not-in the least complex*or difficult . ~ to be understood. But whether it be practicable will be found to be quite us difficult problem as any other connected with national finances, and it may well be questioned whether such bonds as proposed would not simply become a part of theciroulating mediumfand operate to inflate and depreciate the paper currency, A WasHINncTon cofrespondent of the New York Tribune says: ExSenator Williams, of Oregon, arrived here last week from the Pacific coast.
