EALATE MAJOR GENERAL. GAMES.

The death of this distinguished soldier and ex-
emplary citizen has been announced as far and as
fast as the telegraph could carry the sad tidings
throughout the land He has been lamented as a
public loss and from every fortress and military
station in the United States the national grief will
be symbolized by mournful ceremonials. We can
not, however, omit passing tribute to the memory
of the sterling old patriot, without doing violence
to the relations of friendship which subsisted be-
tween the deceased and one of the conductors of
this Journal. The public know his valor, his mill
ary Skill his intrepidity of spirit, the dauntless en-
,rgy of his character--these have been chronicled
mongst the treasures of the State-but in private
life the simplicity of his heart, the honesty OF his
airns inspired of the respect OF his acqualnt
ohces than his military exploits did of the admlra-
ton of his countrymen His very foibles were the
result of singeness of purpose. He was enthusi-
astic only in doing what he thought right. when
he had convinced his mind that given line OF
policy, or great public improvement, was needful
to the country, he would enforce ii with the ardor
of youth, and pertinacity which no GOODNESS upon
the part of the people or legislatures could quel or
even fatigue He had reached the advanced age of
72-having been born in Virginia, l777-but to the
dav of his death he was as erect in his carriage as
one Just flushed with the pride of recent victory.
He was attacked by mortal sickness, in the city
of New Orleans, on the 9th instant, and in few
hours after closed his eyes upon world in which
he did not leave purer or more gallant gentle
man

II is very singular fact that the average number
Of deaths is in fact, less now than when there

sulphur as a cure for the disorder, which comes to

Sulphur has been tried here with varying success.

The arrival of the United States storeship Lex
ington at this port, under the command of Lieu
brings a large amount of gold. She had on board,
when leaving San Francisco, 1876 pounds, but
landed 48O at Valparaiso. part of her cargo
consists of beautifully wrought cannon, taken from
the Mexicans.
The British steamer Avon arrived here on Sun
day from Bermuda, with dates to the 7th instant.
She brings quite number of passengers, and about

from Buenos Ayres that treaties have been made
between Rosas and the representatives of the
English and French Governments, on the basis
suggested by Mr.. Hood The siege of Monte

From Hayti we learn that the President has

of the island Flour had risen to S72 currency per

The new Collector is receiving applications for
Office in the custom house, and they are already
very numerous 1t is believed there are nearly
four thousand applicants; and under these circum-
stances, it will be very difficult thing to give
general satisfaction We believe he is determined
to do right, and the public believe he will. Yet
his situation, to say the least of it, is very embar
RAISING. A number of persons went up on Satur-
day night to his residence at Nyack, to make their
appeals in person. A gentleman who was there at
the time said the scene was not without its humor.
The night was dark, and as the parties CROPPED their
way along, they were assailed by the watch dogs
of the farmers with no little outcry.
tits understood that new journal is to be estab-
lished at Albany to support the Administration, on
the same principles which have led to the establish
ment of the Republic. Thirty thousand dollars
have been raised to establish it, and some men of
acknowledged ability are to conduct it. 1t is an
enterprise which cannot fail to meet the approba-
ton of all the independent Wings in this State.
The local news is of no interest to-day. One
thing had almost forgotten to mention, which is
important My correspondent in Paris writes me
that there is great inquiry for American stocks in
that city. United States 6's have the preference.
He had about 1000 to invest for different parties

unless they transferred some portion of their funds

OUR ARRANGEMENTS

For effecting the earliest practicable de-
livery of the REPUBLIC to our subscribers,
both at home and abroad, are necessarily
incomplete.
We shall gladly profit by all suggestions
we may receive from any quarter calcula-
ted to facilitate our operations to this end.
We should apologize, also, for the many
defects in our sheet to-day, which are OBJ
vious to no one more clearly than to our
selves. Our small news is deficient from
the deficiency Of our exchanges, which we
shall take immediate measures to supply.
THERE'S disproportion in the departments,
and in the length of the various articles,
which we shall remedy in our future num-
bers. Many other censures we can readily
anticipate-some perhaps of more Sc,
rious nature-but we all know that much
is to be pardoned in the "noise and confu.
sion'' of an opening campaign.

PRESCRIPTION.

We are much pleased with the progress Of our
Locofoco friends, in learning and pro6ting by the
lessons which it has been our privilege to give
them on this subject. We would gladly spend
more time in showing them what has always been
the Democratic" doctrine on the subject of Office
and in commencing them to a calm and meditative
mood in their quarters cup Salt River J" quarters
which we know, from experience, are well calcu-
lated to inspire reflections. Occasionally we will
assist their nominations with little wel-timed
Renaissance, that there may be no pause in the
progress of these at last, docile pupils. Read the
following, and mark its teachings:
In 1916 (says the New Orleans Bulletn) James
l.. Childrcss, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, repaired to
Washington and applied for a clerkshp in one Of
the Departments. His claims were seconded in
the strongest manner by the Democrats of the
Alabama delegation, and an appointment in the
Treasury Department was almost Immediately Sc
cured Mr.. c. then wrote to his family in Ala
bama, directing them to come on to Washington
practicable, as that was to be their fu-
ture place Of residence Imagine his disappont-
ment and modification, when, few days after, he
received the following letter:
"MAY a, 1886.
"DEAR SIR On Saturday last | directed your
appointment to be made out. Since that period it
has been made known to me that you are and al
pays hare been, a Wing. This is very unexpected
intelligence to me- You never did represent your
self to me a Democrat; but took it for granted
that such was the fact. 1t is impossible for to
make the removal contemplated, for the purpose of
appointing Wing. / have felt constrained, there
fore, to revoke the order for your appointment.
81 regret this occurrence very much. Our short
acquaintance had made strong impression my
mind in your favor and still believe that person
ally you entitled to my respect and esteem but
under the circumstances ! cannot make the removal
and appointment intended.
81 take pleasure in saying that your department
throughout mas been correct and honorable.
"Yours, very respectfully,

Here was man who came up to the Jeffersonian
standard; he capable and honest-ray, the Sec
rotary had taken liking TO him, pre-possessed
in his favor and had no other objection to him than
his politics. He was not Democrat, and therefore
he could not receive Office And these the men
who talk about prescription. Shame, ,ohere is thy
blush
