From the London Times, Goth Decembcr.]
AT late hour last night we learned with
the deepest regret that England had suffer-
edan irrcparable loss by the sudden death
of Lord Macaulay. at his residence in Ken
sington at 5 o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing. Although in 1852 he had serious
and protracted illness, from declared dis
ease of the heart, the attack was spbdued,
and till within the last three weeks his
health v as tolerably good. About fort
night since he had second attack. from
which. however he rallied, and his medical
advisers considered him out Of Immediate
danger. Up to thsend Of last week he con-
tinued to amend, but relapse took place.
and Terminated fatally. Lord, Mscaulay
was never married. and the title dies with
him. He was only fifty-nine years d
age. ''''e' .s.. 8 -. ms,

Many voices from the Southern side an
swered "No. No"l Underwodo's reply
could not be heard in the confusion and
babel of tongues that ensued, but he was
understood to answer in the negative. He
finished his speech by declaring that the
election of Republican President would
be an overt act against the Constitution
and would furnish good cause for destroy
ing the Union; that Georgia would march
ont. and he wonld march with her. He
claimed the right of any State to leave the

Correspondence of the n. Y. Herald Jan. 1871
Mr.. Army of Kansas was examined yes
terday by the Harpcr's Ferry inquisition.
The greater part Of his testimony related
to Kansas. affairs, during the border trou-
blcs. With regard to Browns movements
in 1858, Mr.. a. testified that Brown pro-
posed to locate somewhere and run off
slaves from the South so as to make that
kind Of property insecure Army testified
that he opposed this mode of inference
with Slavery. Brown said he ,islised the
donothing policy of the Abolitionists
and said they woull never effect any thing
by their milk-and water course. AS to
the Republicans, Brown thought they were
of no account. as, they were opposed to
carrying the war into Africa" They
were opposed to meddling with Slavery in
the States. where it existed. Brown said
his doctrine was to free the Slaves by the
conciled that with his Quaker peace prin-
ciples, which he held when he first knew
him more than 90 years ago. Brown said
that the aggressions Of Slavery. the muir
ders and robberies perpetratcd on himself
and members Of his family. and the viola
ton of law by Atchison and others in Kan
sas, from 1858 10 that time, had convinced
him that peace was but an empty word.
and he repeated his dislike to the Republi-
can party and Aboliiionists, saying they
were ''cravens." that they had refused to
assist him. Army testified that he declin-
eel to have anything further to do with his
(Brown's) operations.
Mr.. Army declined giving the names Of
persons from Massachusetts. who were
supposed to have control of the rifles, as
he eould not state definitely who purchas-
ell them. without reference to his books in
Kansas. which the Committee would not
give him time to procure.
AS Army was in Cincinnati just pre-
vious to the receipt of the letter written
to Secretary Floyd. announcing the inten-
ton to invade Virginia. it is supposed by
some persons that he was the author Of
liz.

The Election Of soeaker.

There is no hope of the election of q
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives,
in any other way than BY the adoption Of
the plurality rule. This the Democratic
members know. yet refnse. by History mo-
tions. to allow vote to be taken to adopt
this rule. 1t is said majority Of the
House are in favor. of adopting it. bu,
whenever It is proposed Democrats imme,
diately move a call of the House, an AL
journment. or some such device in order to
consume time and prevent a vote being tn
ken on the question. Ii by the adoption
OF this ralc Democrat would likely be
elected they would be very clamorous for
it; but as it is likely to result in the cleo
tion of a Republican, they demonstrate
their selfishness aad utter want Of patriot.

the truth Of the charge that it is 'rule or
ruin" with them. They must be taught
better manners. and the sooner the better
for the country.
On two former occasions the difficulty
of clee:ing Speaker has been obviated by
the adoption of the plurality rule. The
first was in 1S49. Sixty-two ballots had
been taken. and three weeks time hal been
wasted in the fruitless attempt to elect a
choice. A resolution was then offered by
Mr. Stanton, of Tennessee. democrat.
substantially to the effect that. after three
more unsuccessful bsllotings. the member
who should then receive the highest nun.
Der of votes, provided It was majority of
a quorum. should be declared TO have been
chosen Speaker The resolution was a.
dopted by majority of seven. and Howell
Cobb was elected. having received 100
votes out of 22l. or nine less than ma
jority.
The second occasion was the more mem
orable one, in 1886, when the House
remained unorganized till the Cd of Febru-
airy. and when the adoption of a similar
resolution. offered by Samuel A. Smith. OF
Tennessee. democrat. resulted in the
election Of Mr.. Banks, Of Massachusetts,,
on the 1884 ballot. by majority Of five
less than all the votes cast.

The Harper'. Ferry Investigation.

" Odu.
No testimony has been given before the
Committee of Investigation in any way
duplicating Republicans with the John
Brown raid. Mr.. Realf states emphat-
ically that the movement was known TO
but few persons. as Brown was a seeretive
man and kept his own counsel. None who
accompanied him to Harper's Ferry. but
Kagi. were informed of the plan. which
did not contemplate running off negroes.
He says also that Brown and those in his
confidence were radical Abolitionists, who
denounced the Republicans. When Sena-
tor Wilson made his speech in Lawrence,
they assailcd him for failing to approach
their standard ofduty.
Mr.. Wilson appeared before the Com
mittee and stated that he had written to
DR.. Howe of Boston for letter which had
been referred to by Realf That letter was
written in May. 1858. and substantially
tells DIR. Howe, that information has reach
ed him to the effect that Brown intended
using the arms furnished for Kansas by
the Massachusetts Aid Society in a manner
not contemplated. and advises that they
should be withdrawn from him.
Mr.. Clair, of Colinsville. who manufac-
turcd the pixies which figured at Harper
Ferry. states that they were ordered during
the Kansas troubles as weapons of protec-
ton. 1lid
Mr.. Calender. cashier of a Bank at
Hartford. proves that Brown had funds
there which were drawn to furnish supplies
for Kansas. Neither had the remotest idea
of the movement in Virginia till it was
published.
From the Herald's Correspondent rs
Realf concluded his testimony before
the Committee to-day. 1t was a detailed
account of the organization Of the Brown
provisional government. in Canada. which
has already been published. He testified
that he went to England in 1853. and knew
nothing about Browns operations afte
that time. He was requested to cxamin,
certain letters found in Browns bag, tc
see il he could identify them: but testified
that he knew nothing about Browns cor
