The Late S. Isle Smith.

RICHARD L. WILSON Esq, Editor of the
Chicago Journal, pays the following eloquent
and just tribute to the memory of his long tried
and intimate friend, S. Isle SMITH, ESQ:
at is seldom that death strikes at more
shining mark than this. it is thus, one by
Que of the earth's jewels, and those among the
brightest, are taken from our midst and gath
cred, new treasures to the trust of the tomb.
as. LIsLE SMITH expired yesterday at noon,
ut his residence on Michigan Avenue, after a
short illness, universally mourned in the city
he had made his home for the past sixteen
years, and where his children We're born.
Possessed of talents of a most brilliant order
a highly refined mind, and heart that ever over
flowed with generosity, it could be said of him
truly that
eNone named him but to praise,''
in the widely extended circle of his acquaint-
ance As an orator he had no superior-as a
friend, humanity in its most angel form could
grasp him to its heart, and bid the noble spr-
it more than cheerful welcome there. While
the sympathies of the whole community are
with his family in this the hour Of their sad
calamity, the vacancy that is felt finds express
SION only in the deep regret that it will be long
before we can look upon his like again.
"ln his own beautiful language in paying
tribute to the memory Of j. H. Collins, Esq,
only few days ago:
There is no styptic to staunch the artery
Of domestic love now bleeding. There is one
and only one Comforter. TO Him let US com
mend the widow and orphan, that to them He
may give beauty for ashes, the oil of low for
mourning, and the garments of praise for the
spirit of heavincss'''
"A cherished memory of his many virtues is
all that is left of him on earth, and we bow
with meekness to the wisdom of God in calling
his spirit hence.
"Peace to his ashes,
Honor to his memory.''

Old Timcs-A SOirec.

To an old rcsilcnter Major Sherman So;-
rec at Fort Smelling, Oh Tuesday evening,
must have savored strongly of Old times
when the gaietics of garrison life upon the
frontier were quite as recherche as the rcycl5 Of
the hom ton in the eastern cities. Capricious
weather showed the clovcn hoof again, but not
IN tcrrorum sufficient to deter the presence ola
goodly number of the dUetoate of st. Paul.
In the afternoon, the flying artillery went
through the evoIutions Of field fight, scour-
ing over the prairie, firing, wheeling, and
forming line, giving quite an idea to the ul-
initiated of the art Of war, and its deadly sin
cws. After which the Major received the COM
pany in his quarters, where emusic with its

slow as the revolutions of an amphitheatrical
elephant, with your partner as remote almost
as the northern and southern poles. In fact,
1t was not then altogether certain with whom
you were really dancing-just as likely to be

for the purpose of being more explicit in the
meaning of constituted" and not for the pur-
pose of designating another class ; for suppose
it had read ''any company heretofore incOrpor-
afed or organized, who does not see that with
this reading "or organized' is perfect nom
sense? No company could have been organ
lied before it had been incorporated And if
'.constitutei' means in this bill chartered" or
incorporated" then cor organized makes
like nonsense. But read, as l suppose the
draughtsman meant it should be, 1T makes good
sense.
l make these observations, Mr.. Speaker, to
show the perfect immateriality Of the altera-
ton, as it seems to me the reports of the COM
mittee remove all blame or fraudulent intent
from any person connected with it. This is my
understanding of their reports The only 9TH
er question is, whether anybody has been in
jured by it ? l think not; for, in my opinion,
it is perfectly immateral whether the words
in the bill were constituted and organized"
or whether they were constituted or organic
ed" They mean the same thing, SO far as
can understand.

in this House who would have failed to have
given assent Immediately to the correction
Because defy any gentleman to look into it,
and say whether there is any difference between

are used. make these remarks to show that
as think-there has been great cry and no
wool" in this matter. So far as am concern
cd, have no doubt in the world that the bill
would have been passed as readily with one
word in it as the other
Such must be the opinion Of all who have
the industry to investigate, and the capacity
to understand the subject, and we are there
fore driven to the alternative of doing the mem,
bers who voted for the repeal, the injustice Of
belicvcing them to he set of grossly incom.
petcnt Legislators, individually and collective

tives which do not appear upon tho record.
Here, Messrs Editors, we come to the real
source ofthc injury that we have sustained
and in due time the proof will be laid before
the people, that to corrupt and reckless politi
clans, and imported official paupers, and theil
