THR LATE JupeI Lew WOODBURY. Judge
Woodbury. died on the evening Of the 4tf inst at
his residence in Portsmouth, N H. An inflamma-
tory tumor of the stomach, which prevented nm
from taking nourishment, caused his DEATH
He was born at Francestown, NJ Ii. In the year
1790-consequenty he was only sXty'one years
Of age. Possessing a robust frame and vigo-
rous constitution, he babe fair to attain the age
usually allotted to man-three score years and
ten-with faculties unimpaired.
Judge Woodburys career as politician was
brilliant and successful. He graduated at Dart
mouth College in 1900, and was admitted to the
bar in 1912. During tho war with Great Bril-
tain he supported Mr.. Madisons administration
In 1916 he was elected Secretary of the New
Hampshire Senate, and in the following year was
appointed Judge of the Supreme Court of that
State. In 1928 he was elected by the Demo-
Gratis o the office of Governor, which he held
for two years, after which he returned 10 his
profession. In 1926 he was sent to the United
States Senate, where he remained till 1881
General jackson then appointed him Secretary
Of the Navy, and in 1884 transferred him to the
office of Secretary of the Treasury. In this post
he continued till the close of Mr.. Van Buren's
administration, when he was again elected to the
United States from New Hampshire. On the
death of Judge Story, Mr. Polk appointed him to
the vacant seat on the Supreme Bench of the
United States an office that he filled with honor
up to the time of his death. He was, from the
commencement to the end of his career, con-
sistent potican-ardently devoted to the Demo-
cratic cause. AS may be readily supposed from
his success, he possessed talents of high order
Though muddy Secretary of the Treasury
he was nevertheless powerful speaker, and al
ways commanded respect and attention in the
Senate of the United States, at time, too, when
it was the arena of the intellectual giants of the
age. Inpriyate life-the truest test of good
and virtuous man-Judge Woodbury's conduct
was above suspicion. In his death, the Demo-
cratic party has lost one of its ablest and most
consistent exemplars. Amongst the ''old line
Democrats few stood more prominently forward
for the Office of President of the United States
than Judge Woodbury..

THE CUBAN TRAGEDY.

We publish to-day the Spanish official accounts
! ct the capture and preparation for the execution
| OF Gen. Lopez together with the Proclamation of
| the Captain General to the inhabitants of Cuba
expressive of his great satisfaction at the conduct
of the people during the events which have been
terminated by the total overthrow of the insane
attempt of Lopez and his confederates to wrest
the island of Cuba from the Spanish CROWN
these documents were brought to New York by
the steamer Empire City, and were published in
the Herald of Sunday, from which paper we copy.
The reader will perceive that the Captain Gen.
eral returns thanks in an especial manner to the
inhabitants of the district in which the ill fated
invaders first set foot for their constancy, their in
trepidity and their valour. He says:
mot only have you given assistance to the army and
autnores ny every means in your power; you not only
deprived the enemy OF all means OF flight, but, worthy
rivals in vaor and enthusiasm with our army YOU pur-
sued me pirates without intermsson and rest in pite
OF DANGER and partakng with the troops of the abors
ana laugue5 OF war in that place. which is one of the
most difficult to travel in the island. Success crowned
your exertlons and you have put the seal to your
equaled loyalty in of you delivering into the hands
OF the authorities the chief traitor, who was wandering,
tearing Just punishment which threatened him."
1t thus appears that the inhabitants, from whom
Lopez confidently anticipated said and comfort"
were MS most lmplacaole enemles-pursulng him
and his little band without 'nermssion and rest''
aud finally outraging all the rights of hospitality
by oetrayng and surrending him manacled into
the hands OF the authorities We trust after this,
we snail hear nothing more of expeditions to aid
the oppressed and down-trodden Cubans" We
trust' too, no more OF our ardent youths will allow
themselves to be carried away by rumors or re-
ports about the dsloyalty of the Creocs. That
they are satisfied with their condition. we have now
the best evidence for believing. What madness,
what folly, then, to think of forcing liberty on
| hem, without their consent. If at any future
period, the people of Cuba wish liberty, let them
,ohow the example set by the American CO.
lohles' and fight for it themselves. 1t will
% "u'e enough to help them, when they mani
e'' d proper spirit and disposition to help

FROM the many curious persons crowding the aisle Of

skill. Strangers rushed towards M Schwilque 1.-THE
