Dea,b of ,Ielxar Gardner.

RareIv have been called to chronicle more
painful casualty than the sudden and violent death
of our friend and fellow craftsman, MELzAR oARD-
sER, ESQ. Editor of the Portsmouth, Va, Chron-
ic!e and Old Dominion" but till recently ct n art
ford Cann. The cause and manner of his death
were as follows:
Mr.. Gardner was Loco-Foc from conviction,
and of course despiser Of all the van oureh
shules and DISCUSSES now, SO unfortunately tor tne
homes, of ali parties, tos prevalent. re was an
outrigh hit, lree-spoken, Anti-Bank ana Anti ann
man, in favor of Hard Money, Direct Taxation ana
John C. Calhoun for next President. These views
are not now popular with his party in Virginia.
and the manner i'll which they are opposed Is cal
culsted to beget ecrimony, from which MIR. Gard
per's writings were not free A short time since'
at g meeting Of the party in Portsmouth, ne was
personally assailed in speech by Mordecal Cooke
Jr., prominent Democrat of the county, and to
this attack he responded with spirit in bis paper.
This difference led TO rencontre which resulted
in his death
On the morning of Thursday, the 3Oth Mr..
Gardner was in Norfolk, (across the Bay from
Portsmouth, and stood leaning against post
awaiting the ferry-boa,. Mr.. Cooke came ever ana
stepped up to MIR. Gardner, when conversation
of few seconds only took place, not regarded by
Others as neither of the parties spoke in loud or
menacing tone. Very soon Cooke was seen to
raise his walking cane, when Gardner stepped
back and drew from his pocket revolving pistol
Cooke thereupon dropped his cane and with
spring clutched the pistol, and the parties were
instantly engaged in deadly struggle, wherein
Cooke succeeded in wrenching the pistol from
Gardner, and it was discharged, the ball entering
the heart of Gardner, who expired Immediately
Cooke was unhurt. He Immediately surrendered
himself into the hands of justice. Whether he
fired the pistol Intentionally or was accidentally
discharged in the scuffle is not ascertained, nor
can i. ever be except from the testimony of Cooke
himself Gardner was hardly more than 80 years
old, and has left distracted widow and three
Young children to mourn in destituton his untinely
death.
Our feelings will hardly permit US to say more
at present, save to express our adherence OF the
practice of carrying deadly weapons. Had not
be been thus armed, our lamented friend would
now be in the prime of life and its activities its
usefulness and its hopes. Now the clods of the
valley cover him The news of his death will
carry sadness TO many hearts, especially in Con-
neclicut, where he was widely known. He was d
writer of decided perspicuity and visor, and many
of his contributions to the Poe,ical literature of
the Country are worthy ts live, as Mr.. Everest's
forthcoming Poets of Connecticut will doubt
less show

Triumph of Right over Usurpa'ion:


Friend Greeley:-For the last two days we
have had very important case before the County
Court now in session in this City. The Loco-Focos
last Spring passed law to prevent all those who
were guilty of improving their minds-in other
words, the Students of Yale College-from voting
where they live. At the last Municipal Election
several Students, believing that the law was con-
trary 10 the Constitution, exercised their privilege
as heretofore. One OF them, whose residence was
on the Catalogue as Middletown, was brought up
to try whether conviction could be obtained for
a Student voting in this City if he claimed this as
his residence The best Loco-Foco lawyer in the
State, Ralph 1. Ingersoll, was the prosecuting At
torney; General Kimberley and Roger S. Baldwin
were Counsel for the defendant. A Loco-Foco
Judge presided and charged the Jury: Yet, COM
posed as the Jury of both parties, they were
only out about fifteen or twenty minutes, when
they ned with a verdict of Nor GUILTY. The
Sheriff could not prevent the applause which fol-
lowed bat the Judge ordered tina, one Student
with cap should be arrested: as about twenty
were guilty of having each cap, the Sheriff
"treed the wrong coon.'' Jury Of twelve has
pronounced the law null and void Sic transit,
SC. A WAIG.
