DEATH OF JuDoE BURKE.-we regret to an
nounce the death of Judge Michael F. Burke. At
his residence in Washington, Davies county. on
Sunday morning, the 22d inst The deceased
was a native Of Ireland. He came to this State
in 1919. After attending a course of law lee
lures at the Bloomington University, he entered
upon the practice Of his profession at Washing
ton, where he has since been a resident. Judge
Burke was one Of the most prominent men of
Southern Indiana. and he was universally re
spected for bis ability. integrity and public spirit.
In all the relations Of life, public and private, he
was liberal and generous to a fault.
In October, 1855, he was elected Judge Of the
Circuit composed OF the counties of Knox.
Davies, Martin, Dubois. Pike and Gibson. In
the discharge Of the trust confded to him he &C.
CURED the reputation, and Justly so, Of an accom-
plished jurist, impartial, honest and courteous.
There we're but few more promising men in he
State. aud, If he had lived, higher honors awaited
him. Judge Burke died young-only thirty or
forty years Of age. He leaves a wife and three
children to mourn the loss of a kind and indul-
gent husband and father. Peace to bis ashes.

CHAPLAIN LozIER AN IMrosTER last week
briefly referred to the begging tourk Chaplain
Lozier through this county, a repuN* agent sf
the Sanitary Commission, aud warned honest
people to give him a wide berth. or rather give
him nothing al all 1t was a remarkable fact
that none but abOlitionists Of the blacklist dye
were appointed to solics. cOntributions-they
we're instructed to take down the names of every
male resident in the district, place the amount
given opposite their names, or in case they gave
nothing, the reply made to the solicitor. The
community will be surprised (at least that por-
ton not fully posted as TO the consummate rascal
ity of the abolition party in general, aud this
Lozier in particular,) to learn that this canvass
had a double ~object-One 10 solicit funds to run
the reasonable Oath-bound LOYAL League, and
the other to make 4 political classification or
canvass of the locality, the solicitor marking
each name G. (for Ccpperhead.) U. (for Ulion),
and so on. Those who gave in the belief that
they we're contributing to alleviate the sufferings
of the sick or wounded soldier were taken in
and done for"-the money will never be appro-
priated to any such purpose.
This Lozier approached a gentleman. suppos-
ing him TO be sound, and remarked that they
were making a thorough reorganization of the
League, and proposed ascertaining. by a careful
canvass, the exact strength of each party in
every township and county, aud that Governor
Morton had pledged his word to procure furloughs
for a sufficient number of soldiers to carry every
doubtful county for the League Union as he
termed III ticket. He also as much as intimated
that the money he was raising was not for the
purpose of alleviating the sufferings of the soldier
but for political purposes-for the benefit of
Gov. Morton's Bureau Of Finance" and the
League generally.
Was a more execrable system OF fraud, decep-
ton, hypocrisy and villiany than this ever con-
cocted by human yandals and imposed upon q
peopleI The devil himself would scorn a scheme
so black with villainy-and after all a pretende d
minister of the gospel is one of its siders and
abetOrs and probably Originators. What can
honest men think of a party that resorts to such
means-what can the soldier think of a class Of
men that makes their calamities and sufferings
the pretext for defrauding the people Of their
money, partially for their individual benefit and
partially to advance the fell schemes OF a cor
rupt, rotten and.treasonable partyI
