HON. w. L. MARCY.

The death Of this distinguished Statesman has
cast quite gloom over those sections where hc
was best known, and suitable honors were na:!
10 his memory in the Northern cities. His func-
raj obscqucs took place at Albany, New York,
Oh the Sth inst.
"During the morning great number of people
visited the capitol to take n farewell look at the
body Of Mr. Marcy, and they expressed aston.
ishnent at the request of his relatives that his
collie should not he opened.
"rhe houses on broadway and State streets
are draped in mourning for three miles.
Owing TO the large arrivals of visitors from
other cities, the funeral ceremonies were not
commenced until 5 o'clock. They were co,nnlcn-
cc'l at the capitol amid the tolling of bells and
firing of minute guns. The venerable DIR. Mott
opening with an eloquent prayer The Rev. DIR.
Spraguc read portions Of tho scripture after
which Rev. Dr. Hague delivered IL most bcuuti-
full discourse. The religious exercises were then
closed with the bencdiction by the Rev. DR..

tho day. In addition to the distinguished gentle
man above mentioned, Ex- Governors Seward and

Drccdsc Of Emincnt American Statesmrn-In
recording the death of ex-Sccrelary Marcy, the
Philadelphia Times ramarks
1t seems rs if death had found a banquet
among our master spirits in the last decade
Almost all the great and iIlustrious men who
came into public life during the first twenty-five
years Of the present century have been snalched
away within that time. The list which memory
calls at the moment is formidable in numbers,
and the persons whose names are upon it were
conspicuous for vast aud varied ability. First, in
point OF time, is that Of John Quincy Adams,
who died in 1917; then followed those of Kent,
Polk, Taylor, Calhoun, Clay McDufiie, Story,
Webster, King, Woodbury., Sergeant, Berrien,
Clayton, Hill, Burgess. Cheves and Marcy
What immense powers, what political and legal
research, what orntorical skill and diplomatic
erudition, what wise foresight and wonderful ex-
perience have been lost by their deaths to the ma
tion! When will it, if ever,'be restored in the
persons and minds Of otllerss

Strange rs it may appear, Mr.. Mclean tramsla-

edge Of the characters used. The only key he
had was furnished in the first letter, wherein tho
writer informed his victim that certain altcra-
tiolls had boon made in the Mormon alphabet,
and explained what they were, SO that she might
understand them. The alterations were only
two, and from this slight clue to the meaning of
these h,e1og'yphies @ alr; Mclean succeeded after
the whole, thus enabling him to thwart the ef-
forts Of the impostor TO rob him Of his children.

WILsloT AT HOME.

There IS no better test Of Il lalar.'s private
waih and character than the estimation
in which be is held W his imn.ediate nei :
bors. They arc al4o fha best judges of his
qualifications for public station. Tried by
this test, Judge Wiluot satisfies the utmost
requirements of the position to which the
people propose to elevate him. a pleasure
seeker from Philadelpha, having wandered
up INTO Bradford counyt, writes as follows
to the Eucning Bultstia:
Your readers are familiar with the poiit-
ical aspect Of this region. aul here N ths
very heart of Wilmot's district. Judge
Wilmot is, without exception, the most pop
ular man ut home that ever rrail Of. he
Is not only popular, butthe masses are real
ly enthusiastic in his praise. Bradford will
give him 5000 majority, but Tioga Is IN fer
the Banner The strife for the greater mar
jority, in proportion to the pePaiafion, will
be a warm one between these two counties !:
but it is thought that Tioga will win. The
Wilnot men, everywhere, feel confident OF
reducing the Democratic majorities, where
they have the asccndauey.
The action of the hody-guard, of the
Democratic nominee, in declining to accept
Wilmot's proposition to stump the STATE, is
hailed by the friends Of the latter, here, as
surrender of the Democracy in favor OF
the superior ability of their champion.

The meeting held in the Court House on
Thursday Of last week, was telerahle 81
zcd meeting. There were but few from the
country present, tut persons of all parties
from the town attended, from curiosity to
hear what the speakers had to say. Mr.
Hazelburst spoke abeut an half hour. He
lis very pretty speaker. and on all the top
les touched upon. he was heartily endorsed
by every Wilniot man present. Dir. WI
mot. in his letter, which we published lew
weeks aaosaddressed 10 the Committee APP
nointed to interrogate him by the Altoona
American Convention, is in favor Of as strong
American doctrines as Mr.. Iazelhurst HIM
self We. cannot, for the life of Us, divine
the reason why as talented, high-mlnded
and honorable nan, as Mr. Hazelhnrst,
shonld continue on the course, when he has
not the leost shadow of a possibility OF an
election, and every vote thrown Tor hih
oo,,tts o,e for Packer. Mr.. HaZelhHrst
was fclloved BY II. Bueher Swope, Esq,
the Chairman Of the Straight State Com
mittee He is apretty good talker; and all
the oratory of both the gentlmcn, failed to
convince the opposition here that the cor
rect way for them to vote was TO use Their
influence for Packer by throwing away their
votes 90 Mr.. Hazelhurst.

PENNSYLVANIA SOUTHERN RAIL
R0 u

We call attention to an article on the
irst page of to-day's paper, from the Phila-
delphia NORTH ,7me,ican, in relation to
Railroad through the southern counties of
Pennsylvania. The link TO be erected in
this route. is from Chambersburg through
Bedford, to intersect the CoDnsllsyille
Railroad, at Wills Creek, in this county,
We would then have through route from,
East to West, in the Southern tier, much
better than the central. 1t would be the
means Of opening out and developing the
resources of one Of the richest sections OF
the couutay, which has heretofore lain DOR
mant.
To our own town aud county, the project
would be of the utmost Importance. We
have been heretofore cat of from all
the public improvements Of the State, and
in fact, in this respect, are at least twenty
five years behind the age. Our citizens
should join heartily in apy enterprise that
bids fair to be al0ptdd that will give US an
easy access to the world at large, no matter
what plan il may be.
