DEATH OF Mr.. CRAWFORD, THE SCULPTOR.
We have intelligence by the last steamer Of
the death of Mr.. Thomas Crawford, the dis
tinguished American sculptor, at London, on
the 10th. He had long been suffering from
a painful disease of the eye, and his death
had been anticipated for some time. Mr..
Crawford was a native of New York, and was
born in March, 1914. Since 1884 he resided
mainly at Rome, where all his works were
wrought. His ''Orpheus," produced in 1889,
after he had completed his studies under
Thorwaldsen, first brought him into general
notice. Of his other principal works. is no t
necessary to speak, as they have become well
known here and in the European capitals,
and have excited general admiration WHEREBY
er exhibited.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Crawfork died
comparatively young man, at time when
most men Of genius are just unfolding their
best powers. Still he has left enough to i'm
mortalize the fame and reflect perennial honors
upon his country. 1t would be invidious to
compare him with our other eminent sculp-
tors, Itseems, however, to be generally con-
ceded that, while he may have been SUR
passed in the execution of single figures, his
groups and monumental works were I'M
equaled.

"STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN, MEErING.-About
one hundred persons, consisting mostly of Gard
nerites, with sprinkling of Beach men and
Banks men, and dozen or so of " straight Re-
publicans, assembled at horticultural Hall last
evening, to hear announced speeches from Hon.
F. W. Bird, Charles G. DAVIS, Esq, William L.
Greene. Esq, and others.
The meeting was called to order at o'clock,
by Adm Thayer, Esq. and William S. Davis,
Esq, was chosen Chairman.
Mr.. Davis, on taking the chair, made a brief
speech, denunciatory of Mr.. Banks. which was
loudly cheered by the Gardner and Beach portion
Of the audience
When he had concluded, William L. G. Greene,
Esq, of Boston, was introduced, and made an
able speech, from his manuscript, couohed
in a similar strain to the remarks of his prede-
cessor, which also gave opportunity to the Gard
nerites and B each men present for very particu-
lar manifestations Of delight.
Charles G. Davis, Esq, of Plymouth, was then
introduced and proceeded in his usually eloquent
manner to critcise very severely the Banks move
ment going back to the time of the Philadelphia
Convention of June, last year, to endeavor to
find defects in the position of Mr.. Banks. Mr..
Davis spoke an hour and quarter
Hon. F. w. Bird of Walpole succeeded Mr..
Davis, and his bitter denunciations of Mr. Banks
created the most intense qualification to the Gard
nerites, who were particularly noisy with their
demonstrations of applause during the delivery of
Mr.. Birds remarks.
After he had concluded, the meeting adjourned
at 10 IL clock.

The LATE ELEoTIoNs.-Under the heading
"Dissolution OF the Republican Party the
Post has the following =
''The Democrats have carried Pennsylvania
by $4,000 majority.
They have carried the Legislature of Ohio,
have electsd the Canal Commissioner, and
claim to have elected the Governor, though
the returns are so close as to leave the major
ity in doubt. If their candidate is defeated,
it is by the negro vote.
They have probably carried Iowa.
They have carried Minnesota, which enters
the Union as a Democratic State.
Ii they have not carried Kanzas, they have
settled the agitation growing out of its organ.
ization, by securing its admission as a free
State
According to The latest advices, the actual
facts seem TO be as follows -
The Democratic majority in Pennsylvania
is about II 900 and while Wilmot falls be-
hind Fremonts vote about 5000, Packer is
hind Buchanan nearly $4,000 votes No
great dissolution" of Republicans there.
In Ohio, Chase is re- elected by over 1000
votes, although the State is SO unfairly dis
tricted that the Democrats always have a ma
jority in the Legislature when parties are
nearly evenly balanced.
Iowa elects Republican Governor by near
ly 5000 majority, a Republican Legislature,
and consequently gains a Republican U. S.
Senator.
Minnesota is yet uncertain, but the last &C
counts were as favorable for the Republicans
as for the administration.

A despatch from Chatham reports the gale very
violent. The steamer Joseph, Whitney, from

BY invitation of the Young Mems Democra attic
CLUB, Hon. Caleb Gushing addressed the citizens
of Boston in Faneuil Hall at noon today. The
Hall was crowded. and his remarks occupied two
hours. He defended the administration OF Pres

Massachusetts was simply personal, being known
as the Banks party, the Gardner party, etc, and
in this connection devoted three-quarters of an
hour to reviewing Mr.. Bankss speech on the
financial question.

TRAGEDIEs.-O the 18th of September,
we learn from the Red River La, American,
Claiborne Hart and his son Charles, of Point
Coupee Parish, called at the houses of Benton
Wilburn and James Nj, Wilburn, and warned
them to leave under pain of death. The next
day the bodies Of Hart and his son were
found riddled with buckshot. On the Goth,
Benton and James M. Wilburn, Jackson Nc
Gee and Bowie MeGee, were examined before
Justice Evans, in CalcasieuP arish, and then
acquitted. A number of friends of the muir
dered men then seieed them, and having first
liberated James NJ. Wiiburn, took the o,hers
across the Sabine river into Texas, where
their bodies were soon afterwards found. rid
died with balls.
The Wakulla Florida Times of the l4th
inst, says that gentleman residing at Alta

sum of money He was, soon afterwards,
obliged to leave home on business, and on the
evening of his departure two negroes came to
the house rnd demanded Of his wife to be
showed where the money was, under penalty
of death. She complied, and they then de-.
manded some supper, which the lady fur
nished them, putting, however, quantity Of
stfychnine into their Coffee In few min.

tanned that they were white men, and near
neigbbors, in disguise, who had been aware
of her husband having received the money, as
before stated.

A PIECE OF INGENUITY were shown
the other day, remarkable piece Of work,
the result of much patience and perseverance.
1t consisted of glass bottle, the height of
which was only one foot, and in which were
constructed several reels OF wood, having
on them three thousand four hundred and
thirtyoseven beads, one hundred and twenty
yards of silk, and eight china images; al
together this curious bottle contained three
thousand six hundred and eighty eight pieces,
so Joined and framed that they filled the bot.
tie, and had all been put together through
the neck. But the GROWING work was the
stopper, from which four pieces projected in
the form of cross, SO that it could not
be Withdrawn, and the question was, how
was it got in? This bottle is the work of II.
