Editor Star:—Oae name has been mentioned 1p connection with the Commtsstonership of the Distriet which would be most acceptable to every man who has the best interests of our city at beart. In Mr. J.

His earnestness and force of cuar- acter, combined with unustial capacity and sterling integrity, have led to success in every one of the many private enterprises in whtch be bas been engaged during a Dusy life, and to them Is also due the conspicuous success of the late inaugural celebration.

It is now reported by agentleman just from California that the real cause Was that the citizens there got up a Purse to defray the expenses of the favorite iliitary organization of that city to Washing- ton, but to give the subscription list a z be a compeul- Uve drill of the various military companies tn that vicinity, and the prize—that of going to Wasbington—would be aw: to the vest drilled company. not doubdting that it would ba given to the San Francisco company.

He was th favor of letting Donziiss alone, for If he was to be drop) our they Would never get another colored man in his place; and they should at the same Ume claim the place of recorder of deeds for John Thomas Johhson, who was a most excellent citizen.

FEARING HIS “REVISED TACTICS’ WOULD PROVE A FAILURE HE SHOT HIMSSLY THROUGH THE HEAD, Brevet Major General Emory Upton, United States army, was found dead in his bed, at Pre- Sidio, California, yesterday morning, having shot himself through the head some time during the night. General Upton ratired at bout his usual hour Monday night, hav spent the evening in social converse. The tirsi intimation of the tragedy was obtained yester- day morning between s and 9 o'clock, when his orderly went to call the General. Receiving no answer to his knock, the orderly opened the door and found the oflicer dead in bed, The alarm was instantly given, and several officers ot the regiment having hastened to the room, itwas discovered that the General had com- mitted sulcide, A revolver was stlll grasped in his hand. A builet wound through his mouth into the brain told the history of his death plainly. ‘The body was cold and stiff, and life bad evidently been extinct several hours, probably since midnight. From the appear- ance of the room he must have sat up late the night before, writing and Searoy ng manu- script and burning many papers. He lett two letters, one to his sister, dated the 13th, but apparently written Tuesday night, in which he intimated that something mitgae happen; the cher, which was unfinished, ressed to Ci Dyer, in which General Upton expressed uis opinion that his ‘Revised Tactics” would be a failure. The letters will not be published un'tl after the inquest. Among the army friends of the deceased his suicide is attributed to fear that by failure of his work on tactics he would lore reputation, but others say that grief for Uhe death of bis wife prompted it, HIS MILITARY CAREER.
