DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE TANEY

We regret to announce that the venerable Chief
J Justice TANEY is no more
This announcement will carry sorrow to the hearts
of the people among all who held him in reverence
for the high qualities he brought to discharge
of his duties at the head Of the supreme judicial
tribunal Of the country Full Of years and full of
honors he has passed away from the scenes which
he illustrated by his learning and virtue, leaving
behind him reputation as much distinguished by
the superior dignity Of his character as by the ex
traordinary vigor Of intellect which sustained and
graced the closing years of his long, laborous and
useful career. He died last night at ten minutes
before ten o'clock.

Inc latest report from Pennsylvania is that the
democrats have carried the State by majority Of
about 10000 votes This dosa not include the
soldiers vote, which Is claimed to be largely ia
favor Of the Administration. The Republican
majority last year was upwards of $4,000. The
Democrats are reported to have lost several mem
bers Of Congress. The Republican majority in
the city and county Of Philadelphia is about 5000.
Ohio, as was expected, has gone for the Repub-
icans The majority, however, is largely reduced
from last year. The Republicans now estimate it
at $4,000; last year it was 100000 In this State
also the Democrats lose several members of Con-
gress.
Indiana, according TO the teegraphic reports, has
