all the morning. He is so much prostra-
ted as to be unable to speak, and at times
his breathing is faint scarcely to be percept-
bic. The President visited him last night but was
not recognized. AT Up. M. to-day slight i'm
provement of his condition was visible, and his
physicians are not entirely without hope.

already given rise to speculatons to his success

man of the Committee of Ways and Means of the

MIR. Key was cut off in the noon of life-I mi ght

utter no doubtful compliment when say that he
vas not only distinguished for wonderful native
lcuteness of intellect, but that his whole profess
lonal career was marked by intense and lofty |
corn OF anything that was mean, vulgar or dshon-

ver contended with him at this bar, ever felt that
n conducting prosecution, he was either ungen- |
,rous or unjust.
