Death of Brigadier General Keim

we regret, says the Harrisburg Tele.
graph, to announce the death of Briga-
dier General VIM. H. Keim, which occur
red at the Brady House in Harrisburg
about l o'clock on Sunday afternoon, after
several days illness of typhoid fever Gen
Keim was identified with the military af.
fairs of the State for the last twenty years,
and at the commencement of the rebellion
held the commission Of Major General of
the Fifth Division Pennsylvania Militia, as
we'll as the office of Surveyor General of
the State. When call was made by the
President for volunteers, he was among
the first to offer his services, and issued
general order to his division to hold itself
IN readiness for immediate service. He
served with distinction as Major General
OF Volunteers in the three months cam
paign," by virtue of commission he held
from the State, and at the expiration of
that term OF service, after few months
recuperation with his family and friends at
home, he was honored with commission
as Brigadier General of volunteers. Hay-
ing accepted the appointment, he resigned
the Office of Surveyor General, and was
assigned to the command of brigade in
Gen. McDowelPs army, in which position
he served with much credit until short
time ago, when he was attacked with the
illness which terminated in his death as
above stated

gG~H. Frysinger, one Of the editors
of the Democrat" has ct last found out that
the Office of clerk to the Town Council as
elective, but still sticks to his original false
hood! lie also invents another programme,
not very creditable to those referred to
namely that few wire -pullers controlled
the members elect as we'll as two others of
the council, and made these dance to their
music. Now as John Cubbison was elect
ed on one ticket and Jacob Bearley on the
other, these potent wire -pullers, according
to the Democrat, controlled the nomina-
tions at both meetings, and inoculated all
the candidates with but enc motive, name
ly, hostility to the editor of the Gazette
holding S25 year office which he did
not ask for One of the editors of the
Democrat must have a high opinion of
Messrs. Bearley and Cubbison in thus Great
ing them puppets to be handled by skulk-
ing rope layers and wire pullers, class
generally composed of broken down politi
cal hacks, destitute of everything except
? lust for office. For cur part, we know
nothing Of Mr. Cubbison as councilman
but having been associated with Mr.. ia
cob Bearley for a number of years in bor-
-ough business, We will say for him that 50
far as our observation extended, he has al
ways had mind Of his own, independent
of such vermin.

Qucry-What was the use of an inquest,
when there were several eye witnesses
to the democrat.
An inquest, we should judge is intend
ed to put upon record judieiaiiy the facts
as they occurred, and the more eye wit
nesses to such an occurrance the better
Take, for example, three or four men work
ing on a roof, one of whom falls down and
is killed, is it not better to establish the
fact by eye witnesses at the time, than to
wait for years until two of the workmen
Mlght quarrel, and one in his anger charge
the other with having pushed the unfor-
tunate man down? The "eye witnesses
would then perhaps be scattered or dead
and an unjust imputation rest upon the
living. Any number of similar cases
might be supposed, and we therefore be-
lieve it perfectly proper in all cases of vio-
dent or accidental deaths thatinquests should
be held and the finding of the jury put
upon record.

One Of the gunners of the Merrimac brings
the details of her destruction. When the

Commodore Tatnall convened a council of

up to Richmond. This proving to be impos-
sible after throwing out all her ballast and
most of her coal, he determined on her des-
truction. She was fred and blew up after
burning two and a half hours. Tatnall, in
the meantime, had gone " on to Richmond"
in hot haste.
