GENERAL NEWS. It is said that Joseph Seleigman, the New Yori banker, who died recently, leaves a private fortune, amounting to $5,000,000. A Galveston telegrem of May 8th says: John Kapp, colored, was hanged at Fort Worth yesterday, for the outrage of a white woman. The father of the woman made the noOse. A dispatch from Panama dated April 28 sys: American citizens in Peru claim trough through the United States Govrnnment indemnity from Chili tor all losses and damages whatsoever they have suffered, through the Chilian forces.

They protest against the manner in which Chili has, and proposes to, cafry on the war as inhuman, barbarous and unworthy a civilized nation. A Chicago dispatch of May 8th says: The trial of Clarence Davis, the noted bigamist, after occupying three days, ended this morntng In a verdict of guilty, and he was sentanced for five years and a fine of $1,000. 1hreemarriages, to as many wives, were proved against him, and no release from the bonds of matrimony in any instance before the succeeding ceremony. In the House, by a vote of 94 to 71, the eommittee adopted the amendment to strike out the proviso of the postal bill for the curalment or discontinuance of Star servic on theStar mail routes upon which increased omspensation for increased expedition beyond 50 per cent. of the original contract price, has been allowed during 1879 and 18s0.

A Louisville dispatch of May 7th says: A spedal to the Courier-Journal says: At Mount Vernon, on the 25th of December last, Wmin. A. McKenney, son of W. L. McKenney of this county, shot and killed Fred.

Smith at the residence of the latter, six miles frou Mount Vernon. McKenney, a young man almost beardless, had seduced the daughter Smith, the evidence of which seduction was palpably seen in a babe which Smith's daughter had given birth to about six weeks before the killing. McKenney was arrested and held to answer by an examining court. He was indicted by the grand jury at the present term of the circuit court for willful murder, and yesterday the trial began. Smith's wife and his daughter Naile were the only witnesses of the killing.

According to the testimony, Smith had driven McKenney and Nanie from the house, had attacked McKenney and stabbed him severely with a knife before McKenney fired the fatal shot. Nanie has been liping with McKenney since the killing, and their former relations have been kept up. The trial excited considerable interest, and attracted a large crowd to the court house. The testimony closed this morning, and after the jury had been instructed by the court and argument of counsel begun, the defe! se begged the jury for an acquittal of the boy, and promised that as a fitting finale to the prosecution, that William and Nanie should join hands and in the solemnity of matrimony would pledge life-long devotion to each other. The jury, after a deliberatioi of about twenty minutes, returned a verdict of not guilty.

Immediately after William and Nanie marched arm and arm into the court house, and halting just outside the bar in front of the judge's seat, Judge McClure stepped down, and in a few words pronounced them man and wife. The occurrence caused considerable sensation. The following letter was recently to Mayor Kalloch, of San Franciscq, by his onm: DRAR FATHER don't need any adYole, I know, but there is an impression on my mind, stronger, perhaps, than any other, that recont events have so cleared away the rubbish that nothing ought to be said in public about the color of past events. It looks to one as if the record would now be made anew, and incendiarism in the future would mark its author. If the Alta and ('Menice can get folks to reply to them, they will have a measure of excuse for coninuing the old war.

It will take two partes to continue the agitation for the benefit of those papers. Our appeal on everything 1 to the people on general issues, letting personal opposition take care of itself. Yours, I. M. K.

To this note Mr. Kalloch said: "I fully sympathize with the sentiments of my son. I bad fully decided on thecourse he advises. While Charles De Young was alive I had no other course than to answer him and his lilies, and hurl back their asperions with all the energy of which I was capable; but he has gone to his last account, and gone under edrcumatances so overwhelmingly calamitous to myself and family, that on their account, well as that of the community, 1 have no more answer to make. My personal warare it ended; my assassin is laid in his grave.

Iad In that grave I bury my revenge. I shall oontinue faithfully to do my duty, both as mayor and minister, and leave the future of myfel and family to the favor of God and the impartial sentiment of the people. When they make up the record I have not fear of what it will be." A Chicago dispatch of May 7th says: The Republican primaries tomorrow are exciting the greatest interest. A gentleman familiar with city elections for years declares that he has never known a hotter campaign even in general elections. The partisans of Grant, Blaine and Washburne are exhibiting the greatest activity, and every means known to political ward workers will be employed on both sides to win.

It is stated tonight that the Blaine and Washburne men have united by agreeing that whichevrer developes the greatest strength in the convention Monday shall get the support of the other. Both sides urge the importance of their supporters turning out strong, stating that Illinois will hold the balance of power in the National Convention, and from the closeness of the strength In the State Convention the Cook county delegation of 92 will really decide who is to be the next Republican Presidential nominee. It is said to-night that not a hard voting Democrat in the city will be unemployed tomorrow. Well known voters of this class have been seen flying about the headquarters of both factions to-day. Grant men claim nine wards, with the probabilities of being right.

Blaine and Washburne men say they are sure of seven wards, with the same probability, while both Grant and anti-Grant men claim, without as good grounds, the other wards and Commissioners' districts, leaving over one-third in dispute.
