March II, III, and was consequently in
his Ssth year at the time of his death. He
was graduated 1t Dickinson college, Car
| Isle, Pa, il 1876, admitted in 1893 to the
bar Of his native county, from which he
was elected delegate to the General AS
sembly, and in 1901 removed his place OF
residence TO Frederick. In 1872 he removed
to Baltimore, having previously served as
Senator in the Legislature of the State du-
ring term OF tour years. He was appoint
and in 1881 was appointed Attorney 6ener-
al Of the United States by President jack
son.
During the contest OF the Administration
with the Bank Of the United States, upon
the dismissal of Mr.. Duane from the office
t>RC ~
on account of his refusal to remove the de-
posits, Mr.. fancy was appointed his sue
cessor, and Immediately ordered the trans

lected by him AZ the agents Of the Govern
ment. The Senate refused to confirm the
nomination by . vote Of . to Is, in June,
1884. In the following year he was nomi-
Justice Of the Supreme Court, but he was
virtually rejected by the Senate, which

Treason is q political privilege, is the as
sertion OF the Democracy in their grab at
Presidency in 1864. What is this? IL it
the dementia that precedes the destruc-
ton OF those doomed by the gods-or it is
the ripeness OF rOttenness-or 1t Is the full
bloom of wickedness born of that cum OF
all villainies, Human Slavery?
| How MCCLELLAN CAPTAIN WAS Con-
vERTED.-At social gathering night be-
fore last, during the evening, Captain Suth-
merly of General Steedman's staff, cap
tured daring Stoneman's raid, and recent
~ exchanged, was present and was Roasted
and made happy response. We regret
that every soldier in the army, and every
patriot in the land, could not haye listened
his capture, was well known as warm
and earnest Mcclellan man. In the re-
marks alluded to, he mentioned this fact,
and said that he had changed base in this
particular. he was now for Lincoln be-
cause, during his imprison ment, his guards
It Charleston, and every rebel he met, with
one exception, learning that he was DEM
ocrat, electioneered with him FOX McClei-
Ian. That exception stole an opportunity
to whisper in his ear that the South was
only holding ont in hopes Of LiDcoln's de-
feat, and assured him that If Lincoln was
elected the war would instantly end and
Internationally cease, as the South would
then see that resistance was no longer
practicable. Captain Sutherland declares
that he never could nor never would vote
for any man At the request OF armed
traitors.
Let peace men put this in their pipes and
smoke il.
