Death Of Col. richard N. johnson.

Another of our country's heroes and
patriots has gone TO his long home. COL
RICHARD M. JOHNSON, Of Kentucky, is nc
more! The death of this distinguished
American citizen will be lamented through.
out the length and breadth Of the land.
The name Of Col. JOHNSON is familiar to
every school boy in the country, and his
fame belongs 10 the nation. He has filled
many important stations in the public scr.
vice, and in every instance acquitted him
self with honor and credit. .-s
The part performed by Col. JOHNSON in
The second war with England will forever
occupy bright page in our country's his
tory. His terrible engagement with Te-
cumseh proved that he possessed all the
bravery of julius Cesar. In that terrific
contes, thousand bullets and arrows were
shot at him, and many OF the wounds he
then received were carried by him to his
grave. ..-,s.~ :,
Col. JOHNSON, besides holding many civil
Offices in Kentucky, was elected TO Con.
eress from that State, and made an active
and influential member. His celebrated
Sunday Mail Report, made while in that
body, was a powerfully written document
and it had the effect al that time fsettling
O vexed question. d.. -
Col, JOHNSON was elected Vice President
of the United States in 1886, on the ticket
with MARTIN VAN buren, for President.
He was Speaker Of the Senate for tour
years, nn6 made an able and impartial
presiding officer. His name has been
mentioned in various quarters since then
for the Presidency. -aaa ea..-st
At the time of his death Col. JOHNSON
was a member of the Kentucky Reform
Convention, now in session at Frankfort.
He was attacked week or two since with
dementla, which rendered him totally unfit
for business. He died ut his residence,
near Frankfort, ON the morning OF the
10Th nst.-Pittsburgh Post.

GF The Louisville Democrat contains
the following relative to the arrest of fam
lily of supposed fugitives, at New Albany,
Indiana, a short time since:
The Arkansas gentleman, who claimed
the family in New Albany as Fugitives
from slavery, has proved his title to them
fully, aud has also proved them to have
African blood. 1t appears that those gen.
tlemen in Caseyville, who interfered when
the owner Of the slaves sought to reclaim
them, have had to pay heavy fines.

THE RESULT IN NEW YogK.-The Off
cial majority for Hunt, the Wing candidate
for Governor, is set down at 800. The
Democrats have elected the balance Of the
State ticket by majorities ranging from
800 to 5000. The Wings have large
majority in the Legislature, which will en-
able them to elect an U. S. Senator in place
of Dickinson. The Democrats have gained
sixteen members Of Congress; which added
to the two they now have, make eighteen
or a majority in tho next House. Th'
brilliancy Of tbs great Wing victory in tn

The boasfed alIone Currency =

With upwards Of sixty banks within the
limits Of Ohio, the public seem at loss to
end sufficient amount Of @rsd banks" 10

ing their notes in Ohio, to give the people
the '@home currency which they were
promised. the banks send them off 10 other,

by the trash from Indiana, Kentucky, New
York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, &C.
Ohio Patriot.
Yes, but the banks promised to make
their notes safe too; and both Of these
pledges they could not easily fulfil. For, if
they issued their trash to circulate in their
own vicinity, it would soon return for re-
demption, and the question Of their solven-
ey would be determined much sooner than
they mi ght wish. II the banks were to at.
