him in the service of the New York and
Paraguay company whose agent he is, The

Immediately after Coo surrendered her, and
had the american flag hoistcd upon her ioI

who were at Montcvidco, where he brought
her, were, ON the Goth Of August, taking
measures to force him CONSUL Hopkins t,

The National Democracy of New York city
held mass meeting last W cdncsday, for mu-
tual congratulation ON their recent triumph
in the State. Five or six thousand Hard
shells filled Metropolitan Hall, and Mayor
WcStcrvclt presided with the assistance OF
1ghIy 0gh Nce-prcsidcnts and jor7y (om
secretaries. They adopted an address to tn,
Democracy Of the State, which President
Pierce and his Cabinet no doubt think highly
diSrospectiul, and also certain resolutions. tho
last Of which is rs follows:
Resolved, That the late election has dcmonstra
ted that it is the wish and conviction Of the
democracy Of this State, that the Senate of tn,
ntcd States, for the preservation of State right,
and for the rcbukc of the Cabinet which has dared
to violate them, should refuse to confirm the appoint
of Icman j. Rcdfcld as Collector of thi, Port
And also that the President of the United state,
should for his own fame and the of the De
mocratic party, dismiss his present Cabinet at hi,
earliest possible convenience.
From the speeches made and the manner in
which they were received it would seem to
have been the opinion Of the meeting that
after Diminishing his cabinet President Pierre,
could not do better than resign himself
although Commodore Stockton said hc was
''not willing to give him up till he had had OPP
portunity u discover his errors" The prcsi

DEPoPULATIoN OF TIE SANDWICH
ISLANDS A Honolulu correspondent
of the San Francisco Herald gives some
statisticsrespecting the Sandwich Islands
which are deeply interesting. He states
the population Of eight islands, accord
ing to official documents, to be sO,64l
souls. In given time the number of
deaths, compared with the births, amcng
this population, has been more than sir
to one: e. g., the deaths have been T.
943, and in the same time the births
have been only l,47S. According to
Capt. Cooks estimate, there were on
the islands when he first discovered them
about 400, 900 inhabitants and if SO, in
seventy years there has been the un-
paralleled mortality of 100000 out OF
100000 lives. At this rate another
generation will be the last Of the Sand

Grafton tempered only by the reflection
that so many of this dying race have
been taught by our missionaries the way
of salvation, and have thus secured the

Death of Vice President King.

We are called upon to perform
the melancholy duty of announcing the
decease of Hon. Vim. r King, the
Vice President of the United States.
Mr.. King died on Monday evening, at
his residence in Dallas Co., near Cahaw-
ba, Ala Mr.. King has recently return
ed from Cuba, where he has been spend
ing some time for the benefit of his
health, but became convinced that his
recovery was hopeless, and therefore
FASTENED home to die.
Mr.. X. was born in North Carolina
in 1856, and, consequently 81 years OF
age. At the early age of 20 years he
was elected member of the Legislature
of his native State. In 1910 he was
elected to the Congress. At the close
of the war of 1912 he was appointed
Secretary of Legation to VIM. Pinkney,
Minister to Russia. In 1918, he re-
moved from his native State to Alabama
He was one of the first Senators elected
to the United States Senate from that
State, which he continued to repre-.
sent up to 1914. In the latter part
of that year he accepted a mission to
France from Mr.. Tyler. In 1S4S he
was appointed by the Governor of Ala
bama to fill an unexpired term in the
U. S. Senate, aud in lS49 he was
again elected by the Legislature, for the
full term of six years. When Mr.
Fillmore became President, by the deatl
of Gen. Taylor, Mr. King was choser
President of the Senate, and, er o6icio
Vice President of the United States
He continued in this position until hi
feeble health compelled him to leav
for milder climate, when he resigned
his seat. He was the candidate of th
national Democratic Convention for th
Vice Presidency, to which Office he wa
elected. Mr.. King never being married
leaves no family.
