sssss,-uy Ess.sr',sa
l UPWe announce with sorrow the death Of
the Hon. DvTEE ]. PEARCE Of this town,
which took place yesterday morning, at halt
pas, o'clock.
Mr.. Pcarce was born on the Island Of Pru-
dcnce, on the Sd Of April, .7e0, and was
therefore sixty years of age last month. At
an early period he ertered Brown University,
from which he graduated honoraby, and i'm.
mediately commenced the study of law. lie
began his practice in this town soon after his
admission to the Bar, where he continued to
reside to the time Of his death.
lie became interested in politics early in
life, and in 1919 was elected Attorney Cen
eral of Rhode Island, to which office he was
annuj lily chosen until 1925, when he was sue
cecded by the Hon. Albert G. Greene. On
the 3Oth of August, 1924, he received his
Commission as District Attorney Of the Uni
ed States for Rhode Island District the duties
of which office he discharged until the 9Th of
December, 1925, when he resigned his com
mission. At the August election, 1926, he
was the Republican candidate for Congress
against the late Judge Duriec {; there was no
election at that time, but at the second trial,
on the 29th of November following, he was
elected. lie continued to be elected TO the
by the Hon. Robert b. Cranston. In 1921,
Mr. Pearce was chosen a member, from this
town, TO the Convention to frame written
Constitution for this State.
\ Mr.. Pearcc was good lawyer, ever assld-
Gus and earnest for the interests oil his clients,
and faithful in the discharge of his duty before
a Jury. In general, his arguments
were able and ingenious, and he possessed a
happy faculty of making the most out of all
the points of case. IIo had remarkable
memory and retained almos; all that he ever
heard.
lie possessed kind heart, although his
manners were such as TO lead many, WHO did
Not know him intimately, to suppose that
,hero was a want Of polish in his feelings
Such, however, was no, the case. lie had a
strong interest in all the passing events of the
day, and the merriment Of his sposition led
him to be Joyous at all times, and TO iniusc
life and spirit into every circle where he NOV
ed. lie was purely democratic in his feel
lngs. as every ac, of his fully eyinced. lie
possessed great confidence in himself, and
the embarrassing points OF case seldom per.
picked him, as far as tho ordinary observer
eou d detect. often has the Coutt room teyor-
Lera'cd y iih hearty laugh which was pro-
duccd by his fun loving propensity.

/ MAcREADY AND FORREsT.-The city was
disgraced last evening-so we learn from the
morning papers-to the extent in which city
can be disgraced on such an occasion, by an
outbreak of the most rampant mobblsm at the
Astor Place Opera Honse, at present engaged
by Messrs. Niblo and llackcu, for the pres
enta,ion of English drama, Mr. Macrea Iy be-
: ing the chief performer. 1t is known that a
quarrel has far some time existed between
this gentleman and Mr. Forrest actively on
the part of the latter passively on that of Mr..
Macrcady. The play announced for last night.
being the first of the engagement, was Mac
beth and the same was announced at anoth-
er theatre where Mr. Forrest is playing.
The Opera House was mainly taken pos
session Of at an early hour last evening, by a
host of persons whose evident object was not
to see Mr.. Macready play but to prevent him
from playing, which object they cfcctua'ly
accomplished by some two hours asslduous
exercise in violence, uproar, unseemly noises
and riotous demonstration. After struggle
for 50 lorg with the mob, tho actors and ac-
tresses Withdrew and the visitors to tho house
retired.
All this is very shameful aud we cannot
well believe that il was directly instiga,ed by
Mr.. Forrest, as is alleged in The Courier this
morning. That he has been for some time
trying to excite publ; feeling against MIR.
Macrcady Is known to all :, but we have bet
ter opinion of him than to think il possible
that he would stoop so low as to hire people
to mob his rival - Com. Adu.

enemies, and bitter opponents but he
certainly was not man of bitter prejudices
, or malignant heart. We have known him
well for some years past, and have always
possessed his friendship, although we have
been diametIcally opposed to him in political
matters. But we are not so crcumscrbed in
our feelings as not to be able to see and ap-
! preciate a generous heart and noble traits of
character in political opponent. We have
often been brought in contact with him, at the
Bar, during the last seven years, and in all
the excitement of practice there, and the nat
ural enl stment of strong feelings in behalf or
client, we have rarely had occasion TO com
plain OF his conduct as legal opponent
AS husband and father, he was ailectonaie
and kind and in the domestic circle, his
death has caused fearful void, which wild
ow's desolation, and children's irreperable
loss, alone can feel.
Mr.. Pcarce's health has not been good dur
ing the last winter, bu. STILL his spirits were
as buoyant as ever week ago las, Saturday
he was more seriously affected, and was con-
fined to his house from that time. His dis
ease was Erysipelas, and it attacked him vic
lently from the first his friends INDUCED the
hope that his constitution was sufficiently
strong 10 resist the attacks of this malignant
disorder, but it was otherwise ordered, an
he has passed from the turmoil and conflicts
Of earth. IL seems but yesterday that his
loud, merry laugh was heard in our midst,
and that his voice was echoed in the Court
room. But it is overn ow, and affords anoth-
az fearful admoniton of the uncertainty Of all
things human. He rests from his labors,
and sleeps with the countless dead. Preju
dice will now be disarmed, and political ami.
mostly can rest itS warfare. Whatever may
have been the dislike of some for the man, we
always esteemed him as friend. He had a
strong Rhode Island feeling, and while !2
Congress exerted all his efforts in behalf of
his native State He was a public spirited
man, and his death will be regretted by all,
even those who were the most strongly op-
posed to him in life.
