Mr.. L. II. McWillams, soldier of the
1S0th Regiment o. V. l., formerly a MEM
ber of the Union Literary Society of Mus
kingum College, died of typhoid fever at
the regimental hospital, Camp Chase, Ohio,
on the 11th of October, 1864. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted at meeting
of the Union Literary Society:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased God, in his mys-
terious but wise providence, to remove by
death one of our members while faith
fully serving his God and his country; and
HWHEREAs, 1t is but meet that we, his as
sOciates in the Society, should give express
sion to our feelings in regard to this dispen-
sation; therefore,
Resolped, That while we would console
ourselves in the hope ofhis unspeakable gain
in being called to the worship of the temple
above, from the worship of the temple be-
low, we cannot but mourn the loss of this
jealous co-laborer and, highly respected
friend.
Resolced, That by this visitation we are
forcibly reminded of the brevity and un-
certainty of life, and of the consequent ne
cessity Of living diligent in worship, fer
vent in spirit, serving the Lord.
Resolred, That we extend to the family
and friends ofthe deceased our sincere SYM
pathy.
Resolved That the resolutions be entered
on the minutes; that copy of them be sent
to the family of the deceased, and that they
be also published in The OHIO STATESMAN,
ZdnesciHe Courier. Guernsey Times, and Uni
ted Presbgterian. In behalf of the Society,

In the study and treatment Of deafness and caarrh,
as special diseases DIR. II. b. LIGHTHILL, Of this
city, occupies just the position above described:
He has devoted years Of labor to this speciality, and
editorial columns Of the Tribune, of recent date,
ment Of medicine. We quote the paragraph:
"CURE OF DEAF MuTE.-LouIs LoEwINsTEIN,
a lad fourteen years Of age, born in Germany came
to this city when he was about two years old. Soon
after his arrival here he was taken sick and lost his
hearing. By degrees he became first deaf and then
dumb. For nearly ten years he was mute. unable
to hear the lOudest voice. to artculate word =
About year ago he was placed by his parents in
the hands of DR.. LIGHTHILL, who has so far sue
eeeded in restoring to him his lost powers Of hear
who speak TO him distinctly and deliberately Dur
ing the past four or five months he has been under
the tuition of MIR. BENNECKE, and has made consid-
cradle progress in readingand arithmetic"
Having been supplied with the lads address, we
further investigated the matter, and discovered
that, previous to calling on DR.. LIGHTHILL the
youths considered hopeless, and he was for
two years an inmate of the Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lum. The Rev. JOHN NoTT, ID d., Professor in
Union College, Schenectady, in published letter,
tenders his gratitude to Dr. LaHTHILL for treating

tributes to his talent from some Of our wealthest
and most prominent and respected citizens, which

in the face of these many proofs and facts testify

The Editor of The Hamilton True
Telegraph ON his Arrest.


tFrom The Hamilton True Telegraph of the l7th.l
OUR ARREST.
On Monday last we were arrested on a
capias issued from the District Court of the
United States for the Southern District of
Ohio, by Samuel Thomas and David Con-
over, Deputy U. S. Marshals. The writ set
forth that we had been indicted for treason.
Anticipating the arrest, and knowing the
Indictment was regular, we accompanied
the officers to the train without mentioning
the circumstances to any one. We pursued
this quiet course for two reasons: The public
mind is sensitive upon the subject of
arbitrary arrests and without being cor
rectly informed as to the true char
acter of ours, there might have been
unnecessary trouble. But, notwithstand-
ing the attempt to keep the matter quiet,
we learn there was some feeling manifested.
This was all wrong. The arrest was made
pursuant to law, and by due process. This
is all that true and law-abiding Democrats
should ask, and to which they should he
ever ready to yield cheerful obedience. If
we have been guilty of offence against the
country's laws, it is just that we should be
punished We think we are not guilty.
What may be the end of this affair, we
know not; but this one thing is sure: come
what punishment may, nor jot nor little
will we abate of the opinions set forth in
the article which seems to form the prin-
cipal count in the indictment

IFrom the Richmond Whig, Nov. le.J

lrTOm tne hlcnmOnQ W mig, NOV. lo.J
James Hamilton Hammond, Ex-Governor
of the State of South Carolina, died at his
residence near Hamburg, in that State, on
berry, S. c., Nov. Is, 1907, and was conse-
quently within two days of 81 years of age.
He graduated at South Carolina College,
studied law. and was admitted to the bar In
1928. In 1880 he became editor of polit-
ical journal at the capital of his State, in
which he sustained with zeal and ability
the doctrine of State rights, and advocated
notification as remedy against oppres-
sive acts of Federal legislation. He became
member of the military family of Cover
nor Hamilton, and subsequently of Cover
Hayne, and in the exciting controversies
and events of that memorable and prophetic
era bore conspicuous part.
In 1885, after the pacification, he was
elected a member of the. United States
House of Representatives At the end of
his term he voluntarily retired from that
service, and visited Europe, where he re-
mained more than year. In 1912 he was
elected Governor of the State Of South Car
olina. While Governor OF the State he pub
lished letter to the Free Church of Glas-
gov, and two others, in reply to an anti-sla-
very circular of Thomas Clarkson, the Eng
lish Abolitionist, in which he set forth the
sanctions, the utility and the beneficence of
slavery with clearness OF statement, an
opulence of authority and illustration and
a cogency of reasoning never surpassed
in any of the numberless essays and disser-
tations on this subject. These letters are
models of style, and thoroughly exhaust
the subject they discuss.
number of his discourses and treatises
on other public questions remain as proofs
of noble intellect and an enlarged course
of reading and observation. In 1857 he
was elected to the Senate of the United
States to fill the vacancy occasioned by the.
death of Senator A. p. Butler. While there
he made speech of great power and elo-
quence on the subjects that then agitated
and shortly after separated the two sections
of the Union. Since the outbreak of hos
tilities he has remained quietly at home,
experimenting the affairs of his large es-
tate, until declining health withdrew him
from active occupations. His death ex-
tinguishes what we have long regarded the
best intellect of the Confederacy. =

Iudge GrIer,s Decision.

Arecent decision of Judge GRrER, of the
United States Supreme Court, rendered in
Philadelphia, has been published, which
has been supposed to impugn the validity
Of Treasury notes as legal tender. But
the decision was made under State law
of Pennsylvania, determining what are
properly debts and what are not. AS far as
the validity of Treasury notes as legal
tender in the payment of a debt is concern
ed, there was no decision made, though we
have the opinion of one Judge of the Su-
preme Court, incidentally given, that the
the making Of these notes legal tender is
"doubtful in policy and dangerous as
precedent" U

The Electoral Vote Of Kansas For
Ssg Mcclellan.

According to the following statement
from the Leavenworth Times, Lincoln
paper, republished in the New York Times
of the 18th, Gen. MCCLELLAN will receive
two electoral votes from Kansas. It seems
that the Democrats of the State had no
State ticket in the field, but ran one for
electors. The Lane aud Anti-Lane factions
were 50 busily engaged cutting each others
throats, that two Of the MCCLELLAN cleo
torsran in. The Leavenworth Republican
paper says:
The Presidential Electors are Marcus J..
Parrot, and the two highest on the Nc
Clellan ticket. The Lane Electors NAV have
polIed the greatest number of votes, but
they are ineligible under the constitution,
and will be rejected by the Electoral College.
Lane has thus succeeded in defeating the
will OF the people OF Kansas, and affixed
upon the State the indelible stigma Of se-
curing two Presidential Electors for Nc
Clellans. ,Leavenworth has done nobly.-
Lees majority for Congress will probably
exceed LOO. The average majority for
the Anti-Lane ticket viii be 500.

The Impending Fight I'm the Ad-
min nistrltiOn Party yFOreshadOwed.

WHITELAw REID, known as AGATE, Of
The Cincinnati Gazette, is now also the
Washington correspondent of The Boston
Commonwealth, which paper is the organ Of
the New England Radicals who wear long
hair, long finger-nails, and long ears. In
a late letter to the last named journal, he
foreshadows the impending fight in the Ad-
ministration party. Here are few para
graphs from his letter: sl
We have gained the battle. Must the his
torian, in recounting hereafter our triumph,
declare that we have thereby lost the cam
paign?
Mr.. Lincoln has undergone no change
since the last Of July, when good men of
all parties were uniting in the opinion that
his election was an impossible calamity.
Shall we hope that it will now be left for
I those good men to change their opinion?
With the most earnest wishes that here
after Mr.. Lincoln's administration may ex-
hibit fewer of those faults against which
Radical Republicans have felt forced to tes-
tify, confess that am not sanguine. The
same men retain their influence over him !;
the same kind of advisers surround him !;
the same counsels are still likely to have
!, weight. ah
The fact which the whole country sees is
precisely the one which Mr.. Lincoln does
not see; the fact, namely, that an overpow-
ering sense of the duty Of defeating the
Chicago Platform, and not the confidence of
the people In Mr.. Lincoln, reelected him.
There never was canvass In which per-
sonal enthusiasm was so small an element.
+ All our speakers bear the same testimony.
Through large portions OF the country, es-
pecially ia the west, men voted for Mr..
lincoln rs they take calomel; 1t was Bit
ter pill, but the political Doctors thought 1t
necessary. III
