The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1859-12-08

John Brown is dead-the Virginians
and shareholders generally-the Union
savers can now sleep more soundly than
for some time past. 1t is interesting
to see what terror the mad acts of this
man has struck into the hearts of all
these classes of men. Even the Editor
of the National Democrat, secure in
his secluded village has been trembling
with tear.
Verify, "Conscience doth make cow
ards of us ALL"
While we have no sympathy with
movements of this sort, we cannot but
blame the Virginians for their cruelty
and cowardice and have envy to no
man whose heart beats not the more
feelingly in view of the termination OF
this honest aud brave old mans life.
We publish an account of the execu-
ton in another place.

Congress.

Just at present there seems to be but
a slight chance for an early organiza-
ton of the House. AS yet but one
vote for Speaker, has been taken,
which we give in another column. 1t
will be seen that the Slaveryites have
thus early commenced the agitation of
the slavery question, the object of
which is too palpable TO be misappre-
hended. 1t is an evident attempt to
frighten the more craven-hearted Nor
them members into voting for Sla-
veryite for Speaker. To what extent
they may be successful in driving the
F" Americans and Anti-Lecompton
Democrats into their snare, remains to
be seen. But of one thing we feel
quite certain, and that is that out-and-
out Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives are prepared to meet these
clustering Hotspurs boldly, and will
not finch one iota.
We wish our readers to mark the
fact, that this "agitation is COM
menced, as all the Slavery :" agita-
tions" are, by Southern Democrats.
They have opened the war, and with
them will rest the responsibility.

Death of Washington Irving.

When q great statesman, brave
general or an eminent politician is
taken from earth, all differences are at
once forgotten and men of all parties
and creeds unite in doing honor to his
memory. And this is no less true
when great author like him whose
death is now being announced, is taken
to the ''land CT the Hereafter"
1t was our privilege to have the ac-
quaintance and enjoy the friendship of
Irving, and through conscious inferiori-
ty made us feel like bowling in his pres
ence yethis Astounding good humor and
genial spirit caused one to leave him
with a stoutcr heart and firmer conf
dencc in what earnest endeavor would
enable him to accomplish. Although
confessedly at the head of American
writers, we do not think he ever at
tempted to patronize any one or pre-
sumed upon any superiority. His, was
that spirit which would raise those
around him towards himself, and thus
secure universal love and esteem.
His death occurred on the 2Sth ult.
at his country seat, "Sunnyside," TWEEN
ty-fve miles from the city of New York.
His funeral was attended at Christ
Church in the village of Tarrytown. in
the midst of those scenes which his
able pen has made classic Among
those who mingled reverently around
his bier, we notice the names of many
of our leading authors and men of
wealth, whose grief attested that he
had not merely craven his name upon
their intellects, but had also secured a
place i'm their hearts. His works will
prove to be not his mausoleum but in
carnation, in which he shall ever walk
and talk where the English language is
spoken.
An old resident of Irvington, truly
said, "He was pure man, and as great
to us in everyday life, as to the would
that honored him." G.

THE NEXT UNITED STATES CENSUS.
The census that is to be taken next
year ought to be made more minute,
full and accurate than any previous
census. The government might learn
something from the English in this
matter. The entire census of Great
Britain was taken in 1851, in single
day, and the reports were collected,
compared and published by the gov
eminent within three months. This
was accomplished by the division of
the whole country into districts so small
that man could collect the statistics
of these districts, in less than day.
The number of these districts was over
$4,000, and the blanks previously pre-
pared by the government weighed SO
tons. In classification and arrange
ment we might also copy after the Eng
lish with Chicago Jour

JosEPH's CIGAR.-Toseph was bad
boy. He succeeded in binding his
mother for some time as to his imblb-
ing propensities. One night Joseph
came in before the old lady had retired.
He sat down, and with a look of semi
intoxicated wisdom began conversing
about the goodness of the crops, and
other matters. He got along very well
until he espied what he supposed to be
q cigar on the mantle-piece; he caught
it up, and placing one end in his mouth
began very gravely to lightit in the can
die. He drew and pulled until he was
getting red in the face. The old lady's
eyes were opened, and she addressed
him: eff thee takes that tenpenny nail
for cigar, it is time thee went to
bed.n

The intelligent organs of the Slave

aid, Journalof Commerce, Times, E:c-
press, Ne,o York Observer, &C., have
been compelled to discard him as a
political witness against the Republi-
cans, for whose disgrace they sought
to use him, by the fact that all his tes-
timony against them, has been proved
to be gross falsehood. He is so utterly
impeached that they have dismissed
him with denunciations of his utter
worthlessness.
He has, therefore, seriously dam
aged, instead of aiding the Slave
Power.
And yet the Federal and Virginia
agents Of that Slave Power dare not
prosecute him or call him into any
Court as witness where he would be
subjected to cross-examination. They
know that he has their commissions as
their spy and infornae,' IN has pocket.
They know that they commissioned
and employed and paid him not only
to act as spy upon the Free State
men in Kansas, but to inveigle John
Brown and his handful of followers
into their Harper's Ferry madness; to
keep the administration apprised of all
their plans, numbers and movements /;
and to do all in his power by whatever
means, to implicate prominent Repub-
licans in the insane enterprise.
They know that were he to be pros
ecuted he could show these and like
facts In his defence, and instead OF
having him legally in their power they
are helplessly in his.
He will probably not be suffered to
want for pocket money whilst he lives !;
but will do well to keep himself out of
the Slave States lest a revolver or
bowie knife relieve his real accompli-
ccs of the danger of his turning in
former against them, and disclosing in
so many words what facts already
demonstrate, that he was employed by
pro-slavery Locofoccism to worm him.

HoNoRs TO WAsHINGToN IRvING.-
When the death of Washington Irving
was announced in New York city, the
flags on the shipping and the hotels
were instantly hung at half mast, and
the various public bodies which had a
session during the day noticed the
event. Even the Common Council,
passed resolutions to testify its respect
to his memory. The fire and church
bells, during the hour of his funeral
rang mournful peal, and other cere-
monies will doubtless be observed at
some future time.

Loss 81 the Propeller Milwaukee and the
schooner ]. III. Tidany.--Five Seamen
Drowned.
We condense from rather lengthy
communication from one of the saved
the following particulars of the collision
in the Straits of Mackinaw, near the
Isle aux Galets, of the propeller Mil
waukee with the schooner j. II. Tiff
fany, on Monday night last, little
after midnight. The propeller it ap-
pears, was running within hailing dis
lance of the propeller Free State, the
former having on board a cargo of
wheat and -four from Milwaukee con-
signed to parties in Buffalo. The
schooner, laden with railroad iron, was
bound for Chicago, and being hidden
from the lights on board Of the Mil
waukee by the Free State, was uncon-
scious of their close proximity. The
Free State reversed her engines, and
thereby escaped a collision with the
schooner, whose officers, not being
aware of the presence of the Milwau-
kee were, of course, unprepared for
what followed. The propeller struck
the schooner nearly abreast of the
mainmast, both receiving such injuries
as caused their sinking. Those on
board the propeller-from twenty-fve
to thirty-rushed on deck, endisha-
bile, and were rescued by the Free
State before she sunk.
When it was found that the schooner
was in a sinking condition, the crew
ten in number-endeavore to make
use of her boat, which was found drag
ging bottom side upwards at the stern
of the vessel. One of the seamen
managed to right the boat and at
tempted to bail it out, but discovered
that it had been so injured during the
collision as to be worthless. Seeing no
hope from the boat, the seaman sprang
to the rigging, but before they all
reached it the vessel went down carry
ing five of them with it.
The Free State, which lad been oc-
cupied in rescuing the persons on board
of the Milwaukee, came to the assis-
lance of those who were clinging to
portion of one of the masts of the
schooner. They were the captain, first

Those drowned were Henry E.
Graves, second mate, from Harwich,
Mass. Geo. Smith, seaman, from Chi
cago James Swail, seaman, near Chi
cago; John Lupton, seaman, English !;
and William Thompson, colored cook
from Canada.
The propeller belonged to the Amer
lean Transportation Co, of this city,
and was ilued at $4,000 and unin-
sured. Her cargo. which consisted of
ten thousand bushels of wheat and
twenty-eight hundred barrels of -four,
was covered by insurance. This is the
third propeller which the A. T. Co.
have lost within year or more.
The J. III. Tiffany was valued at
about 200, owned by an Oswego
concern, and insured for $4,000. Her
cargo was also fully insured but as
she sank i'm some fifteen or twenty
fathoms of water, and as her cargo is
of nature indestructible it is probable

present.
After the organization, Mr.. Mason,
of Virginia, submitted q resolution for
the appointment of committee to in
quire into the facts attending the late
invasion Of Virginia aud the seizure of
the Arsenal and Armory at Harper's
Ferry. The resolution sets forth vari-
GUS points to be specially inquired into
by the committee, and authorizes the

ator Trumbull very properly gave no.
tice that when the resolution comes up
for consideration, he will move to in
clude in the investigation the seizure
of the Armory at Franklin, Missouri,
by the invaders of Kansas.
The customary resolutions were
adopted informing the House and Pres

satlOn almost similar took place.
Thence he went to the rooms of the
negroes, whom he said he expected to
die like men, and rs became their con-
dition and position. The negroes gave
him the assurance that they would die
fearlessly, as they were fully assured
that their action was just and proper.
Brown then returned to his room, and
continued writing for some time.
THE EXECUTION.
AS the hour approached for his ex-
ecution, the Medical Faculty in attend
ance, the Sheriff of the county and the
officers of the Jail, visited his room and
conversed with him. Brown was
cheerful and talked as though the hour
which was appointed for his death was
Indifferent, and far in the future. Moth
ing Of any material interest occurred
in these interviews.
At nine o'clock. agreeably to the
general order, the military companies
commenced assuming their positions.
One company was stationed in front of
the jail; another directly opposite of
the Market House, and yet another in
front of the Court House, which was
only few yards to the north of the
prison. Two pieces of brass cannon
were placed near the Jail wall, on the
road leading to the seaffold.
The place of execution was not more
than half mile from the Jail. 1t was
erected on an eminence, in the centre
of twenty acre field. The grounds
were laid off, and small white flags
were stuck in the ground, beyond
which no citizen was allowed to pass.
