CITIZENS or CALIFORNIA: A Senator lies dead

no melancholy music aoats upon the reluctant
air. The hopes Of h'ga-heartcd friends dsoop
ike tadlnG flowers upon his breast, and the
struggling sigh compels tie tear in eyes that
seldom weep. Around him are those who hayc

have shared the triumph, aud endured the de-

NO USE FOR DEAD MEN.

Douglas las no use for dead men! This is
the simple Saxon phrase which tho Chicago
Times wells in half Z column Of brutal sneers
at the gruvo Of David C. Broderick. 1t is
nothing tllat tic stalwart courage Of the Cali
iorniau stood between Douglas and the Soutl.-
ern bullies in the Lccompton fight. 1t is
nothing tha1 he uade it understood Mt Wash
ipgton that whoever laid finger on tho ILL
noia Senator drew down upon himself quar-
rel with the ex-fireman Of New York, now
the honored representative Of the Golden state
inthe Federal Senate. 1t is nothing that Brode,-
ick fought early aud iato for the political as
cendancy Of Mr.. Donglas, at last yielding up
his lie for tho SUCCESS Of principle which
Douglas clains as his own. All this is as
nothing. Dead men can neither fight nor
vote. Broderick, with Tcrry's bullet in his
lungs. can no longer add strength 10 Douglas
Cause in the Senate, nor stand between him
aud danger in the hour Of peril. Hustle lin
into the grave, and let his funeral Grafton be
studded with comments on his want Of educa-
ton, his deficiency in brecdingi We ask en-
did men Of nil political cseels whether they
hare heard or read Of a baser suggestion than
tho following paragraph in the Tines notice Of
Senator Broderick's death:
The personal association Of Senator Drod.

the advantages Of refined training, and lie fell

"The company Of roughs md rowdjcs" !,
Perhaps Mr.. Bsoderick's early associations
were not Of the most select, but the people Of
Illinois know that thoy could never have been
lower or more disreputable tlan those Of
Douglas. Ask those who kew Douelas
before he fret ran for Congress in the
Springfield District Ask those who
furnished him rum on credit about those times,
and never got their money. Ask the gentle
man who threatened 10 put him cut Of hotel
at Jonesboro for disreputablc practices, as late
al 1856. Ask the citizens Of Chicago who
saw him in drunken brawl on the National
Fair grounds four woeks ago

A Severe Winter Predicted.
The 81. Louis Exlpr<ss tells The following, and

Ihe 81 LOUIE EEPr<fs tells lhc following, and
predicts{ from the facts severe winter:
About ten days ago, a tremendous drove Of
gray squirrels, numbering hundreds of thou.
sands, suddenly made their appearance on the
Mermac. covering tue trees and waters like
pail. Thousands Of them were afterwards found
crossed the Mississippi at that point and vt rled
their way down the river, until on "Wednesday
they reached Cape Girardeau, crossing tic river
1t taHt point in countless u,yriads Tic citizens
turned out en- .nasse; and killed them by hun
dredA. Ercry tree and bush in that vicinity
swarmed with them untll night, when they ali
disappeared and hare not been hcnrd Of since
Their route was marked as by dcvas.ing storm,
Trees were g,rdled and fields destroyed. Old
French settlers predict severe winter, as ii
wAs noticed Ia 1854 and So, That immense droses
Of squirrels u,ade their appearance, followed By

ACb4 fSiSoA.%sa "4S NOuESLAEAs luis Was lie
cause Of mortal combat; there was no other.
In the contest which has jnst terrinated in
the State, Nr. Brodericl had taken a leading
part; lie had been engaged IN controversies
very personal ia their nature. because the SUBJ
jects Of public discussion lad involved the char
actef apd conduct Of many public and dis.in-
guished men. But Judge Terry WAS not one Of
these. He Was no contestant; bis conduct was
not in iseae; be had been mentioned but once
incideuta1tv-in reply 10 lis cwn attack. and.
except as It might be found in his peculiar t1sits
or peculiar fitness, there was no reason to sup
pose tha: he gould seek my mans blood. When
William Of Nassau. the de|rerer Of Hollanj,
the hand that struck the blow was not peryed
by private vengeance. When the fourth Henry
passed unharncd amid the dangers of the field
Of 1ETy, to perish in the streets Of his capital
by the hand Of u fanatic. he did not seek to
avenge private grief An exaggerated sense
passions, intense sectional prejudice united
with great confidence in the use Of asms-these
sometimes serve to stimulate the instruments
which accomplish the deepest and dcadliest
purposes.
Fellow citizens: One year ago performed q
duty, such as ! perform to-day, oreF the re-
mans Of Senator Ferguson, who died as Brod-
erick died, tangled in the meshcs Of the code Of
honor. To-day there is another and more emil
ncnt sacrifice. To-day renew mr. protest: to-
day utter yours. The code Of honor is q de-
1usion aud 4 snare; it palsers with the hope Of
4 true courage and binds it ut The feet Of ers{fy
and cruel skill. 1t surrounds its rictin1 with
the pomp aud grace OF the procession, but leaves
himtbleeding on the altar, lit substitutes cold
and delieate preparation for courageous and
manly impulse, and arms the oue to disarm the
other; it may prevent fraud between practiscd
duelists who should be forever without its pale,
but it makes the mere ''trick Of the wtapon''
superior to the noblest cause and the truest
courage. Its pretcncc Of equality is 4 lie-it is
equal in all the foam, it is unjust in all the sub
stance the habitude Of arms. the early tfain.
ing, the frontier life, the border war, ihs sec.
tional custom, the life Of leisure, all these are
advantages which no negotiation can neutralire,
mad which no courage can overcome.
But, fellow citizens, 1he protest Is not onty
spoken, in your words and il mine-it i..vrit-
ten in iudellbe characters; il is written in The
blood Of Gilbert, in the blood Of Ferguson. in
'hs blood Of Broderick; and the INSCRIPTION
will not altogether fade
With the administration Of the code in tbis
particular case | am not hear to deal. Amid
passionate grief, let us strive to be Just. 9ive
