DEATH or JUDGE KANE.
From The Philadelphia Ercning Br,ietin. 22d

From The Phiodelphia Er-nng Bp'etin. 22d.
The Hon. John X. Kane, Judge OF the United
States District Court for the Eastern District OF Penn
syvania died about clock last evening at his resi-
dence Fern Rock on Green-ane, Twenty-second
Ward. He had been suffering for some days from a
severe attack OF pneumonia the faa Ter ninaion oi
which had been anticipated by all who attended him.
John Knitting Kane was born in Philadelphia about
the wear 1875. He son of John kane, whose
father emgrated from Ireland in the year l756. His
mother was Mics Van Rennselaer OF New York
He was educated at Yale College, and then studied
law in Philadelphia, in the Office of the late Judge
HopkinsOn On the sth of April, 1917, he was ad-
mitted to the bar and soon took rank among its men,
bers as one of the most promising OF their mum
bsr He wds originally a Federaist III politics,
but in the jackson times he gave in his adhesion
to the Democratic party, and was elected by them
several times to the State Legislature. lie was also
at one time their candidate for Mayor and held, Tor
time the Office of City Solicitor. In lSiJ he was ap-
pointed by Gov. Skunk, Attorney-General OF the
State This oGcs he resigned in june, 1916, when, on
the decease Of 'Jrrge Randall of the United States
District Court, President Polk appointed him to tli
the vacancy This Office he continued TO hold up TO
the time of his death. Mrs Kane who survives him,
was Miss Jane Leper. descendant OF Thomas Leiper,
of the Revolution. A daughter and three sons also
survive The latter Col. Thomas L.. Kane, VINO
is now in California, X. Patterson Kane, esq., mem
Der Of the bar and of the Common Council OF this CITY,
and DR. John X Kane who accompanied the search
inc exp edition cent out in quest of the second Arctic
expedition of the late DR.. Kane, and who IS now III
Paris. ~
Judge Kane was gentleman OF fine abilities, a
good lawyer, and a learned judge He also an
accomplished bellesletres scholar, and an adept in
the graceful accomplishments OF society. Few men
of our acquaintance more courtly in manner, or
better calculated 20 impress upon the observer the
idea of perfect gentleman Whether at the bar, on
the bench, in political life, in society he never for
an instant lost his selfpossession, or was betrayed
into a rude word or display OF temper. He was a
member of various artistic aud scientific societies,
81, Academy
the Fine Arts, and the American Philosophical So
cety, and exercised high influence in all OF them.
However men may have differed from hun on politi-
cal questions there are that will deny him the
possession of most winning social qualities, and OF
great fmness and tenacty of purpose IN everything
that lie undertook.

THE ARMY IN KANSAS.
Correspondence of The Baltimore Sun.

COffespOIOtILt
WAsHINGIOS, Feb. II, 1883.
The telegrapbic intelligence from the theater OF the
principal operations OF our Army-that is, Kansas and
Utoh-dces not encourage the belief that the United
States tiCops can be withdrawn frSh ehe former,
that il will be unnecessary to send reenorcements to
the latter. In addition to Gen. Lane wel-amed and
organized foice-men who. according to Senator
Green's report came TO the Territory to do the fight
Iug, not the voting of the AbolitiOnsts-t appears
that the Topeka army s to be reinforced in certain
contingencies, by requisiton upon the Northern
States. So in regard to Utah. the United States Off
GERS still entertain the opinion that the MormOns will
resist the United States authorities. Under these cir
cumstances, the Administration will certainly persist
in their recommendation for increase Of the Army
by the addition Of four or five regiments.

WALLACK'.S THEATEP.
Jessie BROWN, OR THE RELIEF OF LUCK
NOW

NOW.
Mr. Stuart gave us Jessie last night-Je.sje of
,be flower of Dumbane order The good manager
il he who, among other things. seizes hold Of living
incidents capable Of being dramatized and has them
worked into acceptable form for his theater. is re-
duoed to fact that the standard drama cannot
loreer keep the theater alive, but that the stage mus
represent things they are, and take advantage of
strange and exciting events stuff for new stock
nieces. "The Poor of New-York" drew iu virtue Of
its being vital subject. "The Siege Of Lucknow
may do so on ike reason.
This last production Of Mr.. Dion Boarcicauut is
based on the anecdote Of the Scotch gJessie Brown
who. when the garrison were starving and starved
and the enemy were upon them heard, before any
else of her fellow sufferers the pbroch playing n the
distance announcing the relief coming. This, and the
attendant circumstances Of the mutiny worked up with
some love business constitute the material of three
act piece, which was received with great applause
The characters Hena Sahib Bourccsult and other
East Indians; Randall McGregor and Georiie Nc
Grecor Lester and Davenportl; the Rev. David
Bount Blake Swenie, private Johnson; Cassidy
a corporal CSloan) Jessie Brown, Scotch girl Mrs.
Bourcioauu; Amy Campbell Mrs. Hoey), etc. The
scene is laid in Lucknow, Province of Dude in the
Summer of 1851.
Mr. Bouicicaut is great master OF effective stage
details. Even with slender materials he constructs a
fab,ic which interests his audience. As the stage
management of our theaters has indefinitely improved
of late years his sentiment of variety, action and
hustle is not contravened by unskifu renderings. In
deed we were constantly struck last night in observing
how minute is the attention given at present to the by
play. and all the lesser and greater contributions to
yeiisimtude indispensable to arstrate theatrical sue
cess. The scenery was sufficiently striking, aud the
costumes admirable The grand tableau at the end,
where the Highanders come to the rescue and fight
ensues with the natives, brilliantly effective, and
the house rose with a storm Of applause.
The principal character was very naiyely done by
Mrs. Bourccault and the Scotch refrains which she
introduces enhanced the national oOloing. She was
nicely dressed, and locked charmingly. The other
personages had less say and do but were interesting
to the audience. The Nena Sahib was dusky aud ter
rible, and Corporal Cassidy very laughabe. Mr..
Lester looked splendidy, and was duly oAicerlke. A
good point was the mental contest of the Rev. MIR.
Bount as to whether he should continue his character
of peacemaker or turn soldier and rush at the natives.
At the close of the piece, the audience kept up a
long and loud cry for the author The house was
dcuseIy packed, and the signs that the drama will
have brilliant run.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81, 1858.
The atmosphere is filed with rumors of wars,
hostile meetings and bellgerent bodngs. Within
forty eight hours many as four affairs have been
on the tspis, two of which, from the public char
actet Of the parties, may be referred to without
improprety. The difficulty between Gen. Harvey
and Col, Sumner grew out of the courtmsrtial of
fhe latter, upon charges preferred by Major Deas.
1t s understood that peremptOry challenge passed,
Whics Harney submitted to the Secretary of War,
as ar appropriate mode of terminating the diculty
Whss action he may have finally determined to
take can only be known after his return from
Richmond, where he went yesterday to participate
In the ceremonies OF inaugurating the Washington
Monumeut. The collision between Gen. Cullom
and Mr.. Clay, so far as the accounts of impartial
Telstors may be trusted, grew out OF an un-
prened,tated impulse, and was evidently the
result Of . Misunderstanding, stimulated BY
keep seusibility to supposed wrong on one
side and quckened resentment on the other.
They had just met on cOnviyial terms, and had
neyef hsd any previous difference. After sitting
the testimony, with all the coloring of opposing YER
siOnR, il appears clearly to my mind that Gen. Cu-
Som belry ed that Mr.. Clay designed TO affront him
In remark that was construed by others 10 be
ioyisl Smarting too, under an investigation which
under any circumstances, must be vexatous, he
NAV have been quick to seize suggestion bearing
Hpcr that point OF to have suspected II if half ut
tered. The impression of his friends is that refer
snce was made TO that matter in terms which reused
his Indignation promptly and sternly and on this
fact hs Justification is claimed for striking Mr. Clay
The other side insist that Mr.. Clay expressly dis
claimed any intention of insult, and that therefore,
the aggression was unwarranted. At all events,
blow Was struck and blood was split.
Ii is difficult FOR one who was not spectator OF
the scene to express any deided opinion OF the per-
soma merits Of this collision as IT Is his duty 10
deal with strict Justice, especially when the cause
OF 9usrrel may be fomented by partial or lllberai
criticism. Every man who respects himself ana
the calling of Journalism should aim rather to
subdre than to stimulate excitement on such an
occasion. AT least such is my purpose, and always
shall be, while / acknowledge accountability for
this correspondence. Those who think differently
may iadulge in irresponsible reflections. Mr. Clay
has challenged Gen. Cullom, and the cartel was
accepted with the condition of responding formally
sshen fi.snd had been selected. 1t is known that
Mr. johnson u Arkansas acts in behalf Of Mr. Clay,
and il Is presumed that some gentleman from Ten
nessee viii represent Cen Cullom. Efforts have
beea made during the day TO effect an accomno1s-
flor but with the notions prevailing among

FROM WASHINGTON.

From Ou, Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Saturday, Feb. 90, 1853.
The extreme partisanship of Mr.. Speaker Orr ls
exciting a good deal of feeling on the Opposition
aida of the House. and it may be well to call the
attention of the country to it, as Mr.. Orr has to
some extent national reputation, and is notorl'
ously aiming at national position His Predeces-
nor Mr.. Banks always let the Democrats have
4he;r fair share of the Craftsmanship of the Com
mittee of the Whole. Mr.. Orr, on the contrary,
bas not allowed an Anti-LecOmpton member to be
an the chair during political debate. Whenever
Re has called one to the chair, it has been only
sxben the House was in Committee OF the Whole
m tI,e private calendar. The effect Of this par
tality ia that no Ant-LecOmptOn Democrat Is
allowed to have the floor. This is evidently from
design, in order to prevent them from defending
their position, and from sssailng the ADMINISTRATOR
Wbeo the floor is given to Republicans 1t ls 10 men
Of extreme opinions, apparently IN the nope Una
someihng may be said which will ALLEVIATE the Anti
Iecompton Democrats from their new associates
This manifest partiality OF the Speaker savors o
baltry trickery, and is totally unworthy OF niS
character or position. Like the dlsgraceiui Unfair
sess which characterized the appointment OF the
Ksnsas Select Committee, it is doubtless done In
obedience to the dictates of the leaders OF Mr.
Orr's Marty. But he alone can be held responsible
for it, and the press of the country should make him
feel that his national aspirations of the future are
likely to be seriously damaged by the course ne Is
pursuing. He is too shrewd and far-sighted not to
see tat nething is gained, while much may be lost
by 90 hagrant misuse of his official functions. No
credit can ever attach to him or to any for sup
pressing investigation and discussion, while on the
other hand much deserved odium may be incurred
by the attempt at suppression, which, after ALL will
prove Intellectual.
