In the United States Senate on Saturday,
while the Louisiana question was under
discussion, and Mr.. Pomoroy was speak.
ing, Mr.. Salisbury undertook to interrupt
him with one of those whisky eifusions
for which Willard is so famous, when
Mr.. Pomeroy "took him down" most
handsomely, to the great amusement of
the Senate and the discontinue Of Mr..
Salisbury. As the interruption and reply
are short, we give them entire as follows :
"Mr. Pomeroy (Kansas) was interrup.
ted in some remarks by Mr.. Salisbury
Del), who said that at the last election
the people OF Delaware had to vote be-
tween bayonets, were compelled to lie out
at night, were pursued into the swamps,
and prosecuted in every conceivable
manner. The Democrats of Delaware
bore all this quietly, willing to await the
verdict ofpubic opinion
Mr.. Pomeroy (Kansas) said he wa.
glad to find Senator whose experience
at the polls was something like his. He
remembered very well when man couldn't
get vote in his Territory (Kansas) with
out going to the polls between two re
volvers. You had to swear to support
not only the Constitution of the United
States, but the Lecompton Constitution
and the fugitive slave law. You had ia
swear never to write, publish, OF circulat,
anything declaring that slavery did mol
exist there by law. You had TO do al

DEATH OF GOV. CANNON.


that we are called upon to announce
the death of His Excellency, WILLIAM
CANNON, Governor of Delaware. This
sad event took place at his residence in
Bridgeyille, on Wednesday morning last,
at three o'clock, after brief illness, of
typhoid fever. In the demise Of Gov
Cannon, our State has sustained great
loss. He has long been connected with
the mercantile and agricultural interests
of his native County, and through his
untiring energy and perseverance has
added much to its wealth. He was an
exemplary member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and stood deseryedly
high in the estimation Of the membership.
He leaves behind him many monuments
Of his piety and devotion to the cause of
Christianity, in the numerous church
ediliceS which have been erected in Sussex
county, through his agency and liberality.
lie was member of the Democratic
party, and held several Offices of public
trust during his lie, among which was
that of State Treasurer. At the breaking
out Of the war, when the Democracy took
stand on the side of the enemies of our
country, Gov. Cannon, severed the ties of
party and gave the whole weight of his
influence TO the government in its struggle
for existence. As Chief Magistrate OF
the State, he welded the whole power of
his official position, in sustaining and
Strengthening the hands of the national
authorities. By his death the cause ofthe
Union, has lost one of its frmest and
most able supporters.
His funeral will take place to-day, from
his late residence at Bridgevlle, at three
O'Clock. Those of our citizens who desire
10 follow his remains to their last resting
place, can take the morning train, and
return at an carly hour in the evening BY
special train, which will leave Bridge
vile, soon after the funeral.
The Philadelphia American, in an
nouncing his deceasc thus speaks 0
Governor Cannon -
. The telegraph brings us the melanchol,
tidings of the death Of the Hon. william
Cannon, the able. distinguished apt
patriotic Chief Magistrate Of the State O
Delaware, No event of recent date vii

occurring, too, at time when his service
were ofso much Importance to the procre,
Of the State in the great pathway Of III

He has welded the powers of his hig
