DEATH OF MRS. MADISON.

We yesterday announced the death OF
the venerable relict of JAMES MADISON,
fourth President of the United States,
which occurred at her residence, near the
Executive mansion, on the night of the
10Th instant, at 10 O'Clock. She had been
sinking for several days so fast that it was
currently reported from time to time that
she was no more. She faded from the
earth from the natural exhaustion of the
oil of life. She had numbered largely
over fourscore summers, having attained,
as we believe, her eighty-eighth year.
Under the might Of these she went down
to the grave, wherein sleep the COM
panions of her youth and the great and
good President whose labors here she
ightened by the assiduities of love. Her
death has caused profound sensation in
this city, especially amongst those who had
the advantage of knowing her well, and
such as had been fed from the bounty of
her hand. So glide away from amongst
us the exalted and the bright, leaving to
their friends legacy of sorrow; but to
their country the example of a pure and
benefcent life.

without winking, that moisture was beginning TO
collect in the corners Observing which, our critic
exclaimed "Marvellou s! Marvellous How in
the world did you contrive to make these tears
Did you use gum arabic or copal varnish !" Al
this the friend who stood at my side could refrain
no longer, but laughed outright was Obliged to
laugh also, but the actor still maintained the lud-
crous gravity of his countenance The critic seemed
confused for moment, staring at us lnqulstvely /;
but he soon became aware that trick had been
played upon him, and, suddenly turning again upon
the wax figure, he seized il by the nose, and the
tweak he gave it would have proved fatal TO the
symmetry of waxen proboscis. As il was, how
ever it did damage to that organ, but it brought
some additional moisture to Henderson's eyes, and
an exclamation from his mouth Of "d--n ii,
don't! You forget that my nose is made of wax !"
With pleasant recollections of your kindness and
civilities at Cincinnati, beg you to believe me,
very sincerely yours,

of the finest American steamers yet built her bur-

PROGRESS OF INDISPENSABLE RE-
UNION.
The Congressional Election.

The Congressional Election.
1t does not suit us, altogether, to become
the historian of Locofocoism. We would
much prefer that it should find some other
chronicler. But the people must be kept
advised of its on-goings, as far as they
form part of the annals of the times; and
as our self-styled Democratic neighbors of
sole organs, and all other organs of oppo-
sition, stand mute on these matters, we
are compelled to devote portion of our
own columns to extend the knowledge and
preserve the tradition of them.
II is on this ground that we have re-
published the resolutions adopted by the
Democratic Republican Committee Of New
York, introduced by the "virtuous" Mr..
BUTLER, and endorsed by that sold Fede-
raj paper" the .Ne,c York EUening Post,
with the elegant extracts from the Union
of 1913, designed to illustrate the nature
and objects of the disgusting coalition con-
templated by those resolutions. The coali-
ton proposed is that of the Locofocos
proper of New York with the Sellers
and Abolitionists, and all those fractional
and sectional parties which the self-styled
Democratic press condemned, twelve
month since, as "woRsE THAN THE
Who's" 1t was proper that the history
Of this important movement should be pre-
served; and yet we can find no mention
made Of il in any Of the Locofoco news
papers south of the city of New York.
We have no doubt that they will pre-
serve the same guarded silence with re-
gard TO another important document which
we find in the albany .frgus Of the 10th
instant. This document is the address of
the Democratic State Central Committee
to the Democracy Of the State of New
York. II covers the same ground with the
resolutions to which we have referred. II
inculcates the necessity of a reunion of
the two wings OF sections Of the Demo
cratic party in the Empire State, to form
an opposition to the Administration of the
"Southern Shareholder, ZACHARY TAY-
toR"-as the opposition presses in the
infected districts delight TO call him. This
is the avowed object Of the proposed re-
union.
The address OF the State Central Com
mittee begins by stating that in May last
they issued call for a Democratic State
Convention, TO be held at Syracuse on the
9Th Of September next, for the nomina-
ton Of suitable candidates for Judge OF
the Court Of Appeals, and for State Off.
GERS, to be supported at the ensuing elec-
ton. To this call, we are informed, the
simon pures Of the self styled Democracy
still adhere as the true position of "regu-
larity and duty" The 9Th of September
Convention, therefore, is to be regarded as
\ the true blue old Hunker Convention.
! But il seems that the desire was so
strong for a reunion Of Locofocoism and
/ Free-Soilism Gin an earnest and combined
effort TO rescue the State and National
Government from the hands Of their an

the steps at the lower end of Fulton street were

Previous to 1919 there had been no record Of the
number Of children exposed in France. In 1884
Necker estimated the number at 10000; in 1871 il
was supposed to amount to 5000. At that time
the population Of France was about 40,0OO,OOO In
the year 1919 the number Of children exposed was
99,346 In 1926 it was ll7,3l5 in 1890 it was
lIs,073; in 1888 IT amounted to 129, 699 in 1888
the number Of children exposed had decreased,
being 95,624. From that time the number has con
tinued nearly unaltered. The expenses of their
support, the wages Of nurses and attendants, in
ls45, were 6,6730ls francs, and have since then re-
NAMED almost unaltered.

mia Max Maretzek, the lessee OF the Astor Place
Opera House, New York, who goes to Europe
with the view Of engaging the services Of the most
eminent artists for the ensuing season He is fur.
nished with ample means and full authority TO
secure the highest order Of musical talent in every
department; and we may expect, on his return, an
array Of science and skill that has not heretofore
been equalled in this country.
II has been stated that one portion OF Maretzek's
plan will be the employment Of a portion of his
troupe in musical entertainments to be given at
other cities than New York on the Atlantic from
tier Ef that be the case, the city Of Washington
will certainly be visited by him during the ensuing

A company has been chartered by Illinois, in
which Governor Casey, Governor Reynolds, &c,
are interested for the purpose of mining bituminous
coal, which has recently been discovered at Ca
seysvlle, ILL.,. eight miles Of the Mississippi
This mine promises to prove Of immense value to
that section Of the country. A railroad is to be
built to Brooklyn, opposite St. Louis. The con-
sumption Of coal is three millions OF bushels in
St. Louis alone; and the boats will soon adopt this
fuel in preference to wood, as thereby a saving Of
5000 $50 per day can be made.

all which, the committee recommend "to
the Democratic Republican electors Of the
several assembly districts, that, in elect
ing delegates to the Democratic State Con-
vention to be held at Syracuse on the 9Th OF
September next, pursuant to the call already
made, they also elect delegate to the pro-
posed preliminary convention to be held at
Rome on the 18th Of August next; and
the committee suggest, that in cases where
it can be conveniently done, the delegate
appointed to the Syracuse Convention be
authorized to attend the convention at
Rome"
So it seems that the reunion is to be

Gratis, on platform which will soon be
the platform "of the Democrats in all the

the object Of this reunion, the avowed
and the sole object, as declared by the re-
solutions of Mr.. BUTLER, adopted by the
Democratic Republican Committee OF
New York Opposition to President TAY-
LoR, because he is Southern and slave
holding President
We appeal with confidence to the voters
Of all parties in the States where Congress
sional elections are yet to be held. Are
you prepared to ally yourselves with an
| opposition to President TAYLOR which
rests upon the idea of reconstructing a
| Democratic platform on principles just
broad enough to admit all the non-slave-
holding States, and just narrow enough to
exclude all the slaveholding Statesi Or
will you sustain the "honest old soldier,''
who loves his Countrywide has faith
and a love large enough to embrace
the whole of it-who stands national
man at the head of national party
pledged to neutrality, to peace, and to the
Union of the States'
| 1t seems to us, if there were ever time
when it behooved every WIG and every
patriot to move in public affairs, that time
is at hand-that time is now present. The
sectional reconstruction of the Democratic
party in the Northern States, in opposition
to President TAYLOR, on platform de-
signed to hold only the non-slaveholding
States, appeals with fearful significance
to every lover of his country-to every
friend of the Constitution and the union
of the States-whether he lives among
the green mountains of New England,
upon the prairies of the West, or the
savannas of the South. When we look
at the glorious position and the glori-
Gus prospects of our undivided Repub-
ic-with the same flag waving on the

progressive-who can contemplate with,
out horror the growth and cultivation Of

CHAPMAN JOHNSON, one of the most
distinguished citizens of Virginia, who
exercised an influence second to no one iii
that Commonwealth, died at Richmond, on
the morning of Thursday, in the list year
OF his age. He had occupied Offices OF
high trust in the State government, and
has written his name indelibly on the ju-
risprudence of Virginia. For some years
Mr.. Johnson had suffered from disease
OF the eyes, which, however, did not pre-
vent his attending to large practice.

Z" In token of respect for the dead we clothe our
paper IN mourning, as we were called on to do q
few short months since, for his warm personal
friend and professional rival, b. w. Leigh. These
illustrous men have seldom had their superior in
Virginia; and it was honorable to human nature to
observe the close intimacy that subsisted between
them to the last, in spite of professional rivalry If
they were the Hector and Ajax of the bar, whose
gigantic combats afforded an Intellectual treat of
the highest order, they were likewise its Nisus and
Euryaus, permitting nothing 10 interrupt their

The Mail Agent of the steamship Clyde, which
arrived at New York, Wednesday,, from Bermuda,
states that there has been a mutiny on board

three of the convicts were killed and fourteen
wounded.

vcts to rescue one who was about to be whipped
for misconduct-the attempt being headed by his
brother. The guard fired two yolleys by which
two of the mutineers were killed and twelve wound

whipped. One Of the wounded died soon after. A
coroner's inquest gave verdict of :" iustifabe
