Death Of Governor Buchanan.-Thc Gloucester
(Mass) Telegraph says; I'VE learn by a letter re-
ceived in town last evening" that His Exceency Tho
mas Buchanan, Governor of Liberia, died at Bassa
Sept. 81, very much lanented."
This is sad news, truly. Mr.. Buchanan, in the
discharge Of his multifarious and responsible duties
as Governor Of Liberia, showed himself admirably
qualified for the station, and exhibited many of the
characteristics Of true greatness An officer of the
U. 5. Navy, who dined with him a certain occa
sion, at Monroyia, in company with several other
highly respectable Europeans and Americans, incu.
ding some British officers, remarked that he never
was sensible of being 10 the presence Of superb
or and speaking Of the guests masse, no said Gov
ernoI Buchanan head and shoulders above them
all.
On several occasions the deceased had opportunity
TO show his contempt of danger when in the course
of duty, and he infused much of the split into
the minds Of the colonists Under his administration
the Colony has made great progress in every desirable
respect. gentleman who knew him well, remarked
that he would have done honor to the Chief Magistra
cy Of any of States He has died In the prime Of
life and IN the midst Of usefulness yet few men have
accomplished more than he, for the welfare Of man
kind, and especially OF Africa and her drsce ndans-
His name will be enrolled with that of Ashmun a nd
Others in the glorious cause of African colonization

IMPRISONMENT OF MR.. CROSS AT MA
TANZAS

We have received from source entitled to full cre
dit the following information respecting this affair
which we request the attention of those papers, which
have given currency to the inaccurate statements here
tofore made
Gen. Valdes, Governor Of Cuba has received des-
patches from the Spanish Minister at Washington,
relating to the imprisonment of Mr.. Cross, who, for
several years, has discharged the duties OF Vice Con-
sui at that port, and the interest manifested by the
Minister in his behalfs SUCH as to warrant the belief
that he will soon be liberated.
Mr.. Cross was appointed to Office in December
1888, by Louis Shoemaker Esq, the then Consul at
Matanzas, acting under commission flom Presi-
dent Jackson and accredited to the Spanish Govern
ment by royal exequator granted by Ferdinand the
7th.
After the death Of Mr. Shoemaker, which occurred
in February, 1897 and before the arrival Of his sue
cessor, (Mr. Courts) the Spanish authorities consi-
dering Mr.. Cross Consul de jure et dc facto allowed
him freely to exercise the Consular funct ons. On
the arrival of Mr. Courts exequaur granted by Chris
tina late Queen Regent Of Spain, Mr. Cross was re-
appointed and continued to discharge the duties of the
Office up 10 the day of his arrest.
Mr.. Courts having resigned and with the consent
of Mr.. Secretary Forsyth, having devoyed the duties
of the office Mr. Cross, he was, for the time being
the Consular Representative ofthe Government ofthe
United States at the port of Matanzas
The very high qualifications of Mr.. Cross, as well
the injury he has received from the misundersand
ing in relation to his position enttle him the very
favorable consideration of government in view of
appointment to the Consulship at Matanzas-
Port. Adr

have not been in this quarter each other for
fire years. A few mornings since, the father was
standing at the Lowell depot just the had ar

him, Came towards him unperceived and tapped him"
on the shoulder Looking up, he beheId before him
his son. who had just arrived from Texas. They
started from the depot, busy in conversation. They
had gone but a few steps, when another person who
had been passenger IN the same train came up be-
hind them and touched them on the shoulders Look
ing'round to their aslonshment and delight they be-
held before them the son, whose residence is in Iii
nos. The meeting was 10 each of them altogether
unexpected The sons had passed from Boston TO
Lowell in the train OF cars without having OBJ
served each other. The father knew nothing OF the
intended visits of his sons and the were quite as
ignorant of the movements of each other Lopea

INTELLECT AND OLD AoE.--In one Of his let
tiers Mr.. Walsh says ,-"The Duke Of yelling
ton is in his seventy -thrd year. Before the
general election, the London Wing writers az
frmed that his intellectual powers were in utter
decay. His subsequent speeches in Parliament
belle the report, especially his reply to Vscount
Melbourne in the debate on the change Of ADM.
nlstraton, which reply was absolutely the best.
He may be called cabinet Minister emeritus
The King of Sweden is, believe, the oldest of
the European sovereigns, and he betrays no de-
crepitude. On the 9th ult Louis Philippe com
pleted his sixty-eighth year, SO little worn by
time in frame and spirit, that, for the two years
past, even the Radical politicians have ceased
TO report him moribund or valetudinary. Cha !.
teaubrand the herophant Of the Legiimists,
who counts more than threescore years has not
ceased TO write, and his intimate friends tell US
that the memoirs of this, the most brilliant ge-
MUS Of the era are far advanced, and will cast
the brightest light on the most important points
of contemporary history"

TEXAS AND SANTA ANNA.

The Houstonian thinks that Santa Anna will re-
cognize the independence of Texas. II says If the
report Of Santa Anna's success in Mexico should
prove to be correct we venture to predict that with
General Houston at the head of our Government, one
year will not have elapsed before the independence OF
Texas shall have been Internationally recognized by
Mexico. We do not make this prediction from any
confidence have in the pledges of that perfidious
man, made while prisoner, but from the belief that
he is satisfied with his former campaign to Texas, and
will not be anxious 10 become actor in second
drama the exit Of which would, in all human proba-
bity, be even more tragcal."

wAsHINGToNs REFUSAL TO BE KING

Mr.. Sparks, in a recent lecture delivered In
New York, related the following incident;
Mr. Sparks gave it as his opinion that the purity
and patriotism of WAsHINoTos's character were ne
yer fully appreciated by Congress The following re-
markabe incident fully illustrates the character of
that noble man. Il was remarkable proof of his
modesty that the subjoned letter publish
ed during his life time, although copies OF II were
earnestly solicited. A council was held privately by
some of influence every point Of their deplora-
BILE situation discussed, and 1t was proposed to
tell their views and hopes and fears to WASHINGTON.
One man, Colonel Nicola, was chosen to write let
ter expressive of their views, which letter was TO be
sent to w AsHINGToN, and in this Il was stated that
nothing short of monaTchical system could save
the country from the anarchy and disasters which
threatened ii and they proposed to WARRINGTON
that such system should be established, and that he
should take the head Of it, with the power and title
of" KING" In carrying out this plan, they promised
WASHINGTON that he should have the support of the
army and Of many Of influence and power.
Now mark the reply WAsHlNoToN made to this
To COLONEL LEWIS Nicola.

you have submitted TO my perusal. Be assured sir,
no occurrence in the of the has given me
more painful sensations, than your information Of

have expressed and must view with adherence and
reprehend with severity. For the present the commu-
nicaton Of them wi rest in my own bosom, unless
further agitation of the matter shall make dis
closure necessary.
/ am much at a loss TO conceive what part of my
conduct could have given encouragement TO an adj
dress, which to big with the greatest mis-
chiefs that can befall my couLtry If am not de-
ceved in the knowledge of myself, you could not
have found a person TO whom your schemes are more
disagreeabe.
At the time, in justice TO my own feelings, |
must add, that no man possesses more sincere wish
ample justice done to the army than do and,
far as my powers and influence in constitutional
way extend they shall he employed to the utmost Of
my abilities TO effect it, should there be any occasion.
Let coniure you then, you have any regard for
your country concern for yourself posteEity,

and never communicate, as from yourself any one
else, a sentiment of the like nature.
