health. He was already suffering from the inces-
SAINT labor and exposure of the last few days and
that long Friday night. His fatigue must have
been great, and when the waves closed over his
ship he was, in all probability too much exhausted
to struggle with the rest in that pool of drowning
men for floats and life.
Everything that could be done by the best sea
captains to save his ship was done to save this
one. Brave hearts and strong arms and willing
minds were on board. There was no lack of skill
or of courage. Order and discipline were pre-
served to the last; and she went down under con.
duct that fills with unutterabe sentiments of adm-

Herndon was in the 44th year of his age He
was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on the 25th
day of October 1918. He was the son OF the late
Dabney Herndon, of that place, and was the fifth
of seven children-fye sons and two daughters
of whom Mrs. Maury is the elder He was named
after Captain William Lewis, of the navy, who was
lost at sea on board the United States brig Eper-
vier. Lewis Herndon was left early an orphan,
and entered the navy at the age of fifteen. Alice

None knew him better or loved him more than,

seen, and Aattery was ready with her serve train.
Invention, Notwithstanding, was at loss for now
city. Statues were decreed to Tiberius and his
son; affairs were raised to the gods temples were
built and triumphal arches erected, with other
honors Of similar nature. Marcus Slanus aimed
at something new. Willing, at the expense Of
the consular dignity, to pay compliment to the
princes, he proposed that in all public and pri-
yate registers, the year should no longer take its
date from the names Of the consuls, but from the
persons invested with the tribunitian power
Quintus Haterius went still further; he moved
that the DEGREES Of that day should be fixed up in
the senate house in letters Of gold His motion
was treated with contempt and ridicule. The
fathers saw with indignation a superannuated
senator, who, on the verge of life, would incur

The author of the article we have copied from
one of the "lesser organs" Of this city may per-

tus Haterius, from the fact that he is NOT NTH

Lyon intends to take upon himself the duty Of

FRAUDS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

A Democrat became confidential and communi
cative with Baltimorcan, day or two ago, sup
posing him to be a Democrat also, and informed
him that they the Democrats Of this city, had ar.
ranged matters so as to secure the election Of
Bowie, to Congress, and to give the State ticket a
good lift.
The plan, he said, was to take gang Of men
up TO Rockville, probably the night before the
elections let them vote there early, and then start
Immediately for Bladensburg, to votelthere go on
TO Laurel and vote, and then take the cars for l.
tiuore and vote there.
This, he assured the supposed Democrat but
true American, would certainly be accomplished
that they had the men and means, and the ar
rangements were all made.
We we're put in possession Of this scheme Of
intended fraud by the individual to whom il was
communicated, who is gentleman of character
and veracity.
Similar arrangements have been made in Phils.
dclphia and New York. All these parties will be
