Death of Thomas COrwin.

Hon. Thomas Corwin, of Ohio, while
attending a meeting of gentlemen from
his State, at Washington, on Friday
evening, Dec. 18th, was stricken with
paralysis, and died on Monday follow
ing, at half past 2 o'clock.
Gov Corwin was born in Kentucky
in 1894. his ancestors being Hungali-
ans. When quite young, his parents
removed to southern Ohio, where his
boyhood was passed, and where he
worked upon his fathers farm until he
was 20, He had few educational adj
vantages, but by his own exertions
acquired much solid information. He
early manifested taste for oratory,
and in 1915 began the study of law,
and soon after being admitted to the
bar of Warren county, Ohio, acquired
considerable local fame. In 1922 he
was elected to the lower branch of the
state legislature, where lie made his
mark and remained for seven years.
He entered congressional life in 1880,
and i'll 1910 was elected governor of
Ohio. In 1916 the same state sent
him to the senate, where he remained
till the accession of Willard Fillmore
to the presidency, when he was made
head Of the treasury department He
was elected representative to Congress
in 1858 and again in 1860, with no
opposition of consequence at either
time. President Lincoln sent him to
Mexico as our minister, but upon
Maximilian's advent he came home
and did not return. Since then he
has practiced law in Washington.
Mr.. Corwin was ready, apt deba-
ter, and ardent politician and genial,
whole-souled man. He was always
wing, and in the stirring political days
when whiggery was matched with To-
cofocoism, his voice rang out clearly
and effectively for his fayorite party.
He has for few years retired from
the active political and public life, in
which he SO much engaged; but his
sudden death recalls his valuable
services in the past, and not soon will
they be forgotten

The New CoSeREss.--A Washing ct,

The New CONGRESS- Washington
correspondent gives the following
complimentary description of the new
Congress:
"The personal appearance OF this
Congress, IN face, dress, maurer, and
in that indefnable something which
we call air, is far superior, as our
memory repors, to anything in the
history of the pat. There seem to be
but few representatives, of the class of
last men, who fornerly 6onred so
conspicuously in Westinghouse dan
per, whipper-snapper noking speei-
mems; the roughs, too, sem scarce
and the great mass wear an air 81
thoughtfulness as though they under
stood and felt the magnitude g tie
errand that brought them to the Can
itol."
Another correspondent has discoy-
cred the "specialties" Of some of the
Senators as follows:
Sumner, anti-slayery; Fessenden, fl
nance; Sherman, finance; Trumbull,
judiciary; James NJ Grimes, navy;
Henry Wilson, military; Zachariah
Chandler commerce; James II. Doc

and Ira Harris, law; John CONFESS,

Southern Representatives.

The course pursued by Congress in
not admitting representatives elect
from the Southern States, is general
ly regarded as wise and eminently
proper. Many of those men came to
our national capital with their hands
scarcely washed of the blood of their
countrymen, and demanded admis-
sion. II they had been admitted they
were prepared to say that it was a
great victory. 1t may be asked what
are our reasons for not allowing these
men to occupy their seats in Congress,
conceding that they have been consti-
tutionally electeds2 The answer is
found in the fact that they will not
subscribe to the oath Of loyalty re-
quired of every union loving member
OF Congress. This should be a suffi-
cient reason in the mind OF every
Northern man. These men, or then
predecessors, in an unjustifable man.
ner yacared their seats at the breaking
out of the rebellion, for the purpose o
thruding the particular State the,
represented out of the Union.
Practically they succeeded but lie
gally they failed. In view of this, j
seems their inevitable duty TO sub
scribe to an oath such as every loya
man can readily subscribe TO. or the
ihould be required TO remain in tn
position they have voluntarily place
themselves. What is this oath?
is substantial agreement TO preser'
the Union and not again to wage wa
against it. 1t is a solemn pledge {
preserve inviolate the national homo
and national credit, under all circum
stances not inconsistent with the Con
stitution of the United States. AS
condition precedent to this oath All

State TO be represented should repea

the ordnance of secession, repudat
the rebel debt, and abolish the insti-
tuition of slavery within its borders.
This certainly is reasonable. Those
momentous questions were submitted
to the arbitrament of arms, and the
award is against them. Admit these
men without those prerequisites and
you certainly receive to your bosom
men who, when warmed and fattcned
by your hospitality, will again poison
the body polite. They will initiate
stops to repudiate the national debt,
assume the confederate debt, and per
haps pay several hundred million dol
lars to the South for property des-
troyed and slaves omancipated.
These projects are now openly dis
cussed in the South with much earn
estness and confidence. They say in
the language of a southern Colonel,
1--WE must strike hands with the dem
ocratic party of the North and man
age them as we always have In
this they may be mistaken, as a large
majority of the democratic party Of
the North to-day are staunch Union
men, ready to battle manfully for its
integrity and perpctuity. Still Con
gress has wisely acted upon the de.
fensivee apd have done, oud We doubt
not will continue to do, whatever lies
in its power to make this country q
lasting monument OF its greatness.
