Death of Hon. James Meacham.

The telegraph announces the death Of the Hon.
james Meacham, NJ. O. from Vermont, at his resi-
dence In Middlebury, in that State, on Saturday
morning, of congestion OF the brain and lungs.
Mr. Meacham was originally Congregational
clergyman, and afterwards Professor in Middle
bury College. He was elected to the House Of
Representatives in 1851, and for two terms there
after. At the time of his death he was a candi-
date for his fourth term.
Mr.. Meacham was a man of decided ability and
scholar Of superior attainments. As one of the
Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, he siren
uously contended against the majority Of the Board
in their efforts to render comparatively nugatory
the splendid bequest of Smithson.
During the present Congress, Mr.. Meacham has
filed the arduous post of chairman Of the Com
mittee on the District of Columbia, and, although
his effort in that capacity to reduce this city into
subsection to the present administration and its
foreign population, was warmly condemned by a
majority of our citizens, yet it is generally con-
ceded that in other respects, he discharged the
duty which devolved upon him ably and faithfully.
Mr.. Meacham had been an invalid for several
years, and during the late session of Congress was
frequently incapacitated by illness from attending
to his legislative duties. STILL his death was un-
expected by his friends in this city, as he left
Washington at the close of the session in his usual
health ~

a resolution that select committee OF thirteen be

Fillmore in Indiana.

The Vevay Reveille, spirited American jour
nal, brings us cheering reports from Indiana. II
remarks: ....
To say that Fillmore and Donelson are sup
ported by large majority of the voters in this
section of country, would be simply stating the
truth. On the North, South, East and West of us
the people are for Fillmore and the Union, first
and last They are organizing in every town and
neighborhood. We never saw our people more
enthusiastic and determined than they are in this
campaign.
In Jefferson county the good work goes brave.
ly on the Fillmore men are made up of the true
material and they are determined to stand up for
their principles, regardless of the chances of sue
cess or defeat. This is the only true course for
them to pursue. They hold county convention
on Friday, August %, to select q straight-oui
American ticket"
The Rockford Herald, a Fremont paper, has the
following paragraph:
"We learn that the Fillmore barbecue at Hen
rysville yesterday was grand affair. There was
a large turnout and the utmost enthusiasm Fill

If Fremont should be elected, we presume An
derson will be appointed Chaplain of the White
House-or the Washington Ptnitentiary--unles
he should prefer the place of assistant editor Of the
Government organ under Dr. Bailey.
And this reminds us Of another dark incident o

How will PennsyIvania Vote =

From the terrible hullaballoo the Fremounte-
banks make over Pennsylvania, it is inferred by
many that they are sure of the State by at least
$4,000 majority. The dependency Of the Bucha-
niers over the same State confirms this impression.
But, before we concede 80 important State as
Pennsylvania to Fremont let us examine the sta
tstics of the election of 1884 there were 1898
at the last State election.

Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Hill, pastor Of 10th street
Baptist church.
Mr.. WELLER presented bill abrogating GER
tain laws enacted by the legislative assembly of
Kansas and gave notice that he should ask its
sideraton tomorrow.
Mr.. CLAYTON'S resolution was then called up.
Mr.. MASON said that owing to the thin attend
ance of Senators this morning, he should move to
lay the resolution on the table at the proper time.
He would not do SO now, If gentlemen wished to
discuss it.
Mr.. CLAYTON said the exigency of the case
was too great to stickle about forms. He was
confident that compromise could be effected, and
thus the country saved from the disasters of civil
war.
The Senate then took an informal recess, ex-
pecting message from the House announcing the
death of Hon. Mr.. MEAcHAM.
