1T was said by Tacitus OF Gliia that he would, by
i The universal consent OF mankind, have been
assmed worthy Of empire had he never ruled. The
case Of Galba IS not the only in which public
parity has sadly coutrastcd with private reputation,
pd ia ,rhich1he light oremnent position has served
only 70 exhibit the deficiencies which the shades Of
an honorable obscurty nght-haye concealed. As
private mau, the General u0w commanding the De
partment OF the Trans Mississippi, would, doubt,
hayodeserysl therespect, even ifhe could not com
mand tie admiration Of his friends. No one win
deny to him the possession Of those virtues which
Gdorn the character Of the citizen. No one now win
Claim Tor him. the attribptes which mark the warrior
or the Statesman. When he had scarcely yet emerg-
Cd from the ordinary pass of mediocrity, ne was
suppojed 10 possess abilities fitting him for the dis
charge Of important public duties but il isremark-
able that his rapid promotion has tended only TO
prove him the more peculiarly adapted 10 ornament
the private station. As a General Of Division, he
certainly conducted himself the satisfaction ofthe
country and it IS 10 be regretted that he was ever
r9noved from position in which he could have
achieved least undistinguished success and as
signed 20 one IN which magnificent opportunities
have found contrast IN conspicuous failures.
The lucky hit at Manassas made him for the time
popular fayorite HI unique victories in Kentucky,
amid the chronic disasters Of that unfortunate cam
paigu, seemed to stamp him equally favorite Of
Fortune But that tickle Goddess often withholds
her smiles when they the most courted, and de-
serts her votaries precisely when they most need
ber help. To be lucky in small things does not by
apv means imply luck in great things; fact
which is General Smiths misfortune, and by no
means his fault. In the same way though a
man NAV be a giant among dwarfs, it is quite
,o,,ible for him TO be dwarf among giants which
agsin is General Smiths misfortune and not his fault
If he had reason 10 thank fortune for her syoTs be-
slowed upon him on the lucky field OF Manassas, and
at the paradoxcaI victory Of Richmond, he has equal
reason 70 complain that SIZE has thrust him into
position in which the maturity Of his efforts must

that the sad events of the last four years

virtuous consideration of the public veal.

Death of Mrs. William H. Seward.

The public mind was in a measure,
andt family of Mr.. Seward fully pre-
pared, for the bereavement 1t becomes
noinftll duty to announce. Mrs. Seward
| had been sinking from the moment that
herintense anxiety for the safety of her
husband and son was relieved. Up to
the time that hope, in both cases came,
she was wonderfully sustained. 1t SEEM
ed that, infirm and feeble as she had
been for years, while those she loved SO
devotedly were in danger, disease had
no power over the wife and mother. But
when the strain was off, her Over-taxed
powers, mental and physical, gave way.
Mrs. Seward has been a sufferer many
years, bearing herillness, sometimes with
cheerfulness always with Christian re-
signation-and ever diligent and watch
full in the discharge of every duty, espe-
cially in the mental and moral trainingOf
her children, in which her great happi-
ness consisted. AS wife and mother
she was eminentlya counselor and teach
en- Her rule was supreme; but 1t was
supremacy in which wisdom and alice
ton were so happily blended that all re-
ioiced to recognize her sceptre.
Mrs. Seward was the daughter of the
late Judge Elijah H. Miller, of Auburn.
She was gifted in person and manners,
and to these attractions was added
thorough education.' Forthe lasttwelve
or fifteen years of her married life she
was the charm of the cultivated and re-
fined associations in which she moved;
but nearly twenty years ago her health
failed, and since that period she has
withdrawn from society, devoting her
self to her family and the few friends
whom she had early learned to value.
The attempted assassination of the Sc
cretary and Assistant SecretaryOf State,
1t is hardly necessary to say, has, what
ever their fate may be, caused this death.
Those only who know, AS we know, not
only how devotedly she loved them, but
how worthy they are of such affection.
can Judge of the intensity other anxiety
and suffering. The day but one after
that fiendish attempt, by which both
lives Were suspended by a thread, she
said to the writer, 'it seems as If ! had
two hearts, one throbbing for Henry and
the other for Frederick"
Mrs. Seward was, in the highest sense,
the companion, counselor and friend, to
whom her husband turned, and upon
whom she relied ON all occasions. Be-
tween them there was perfect trust.
They shared each others hopes and fears,
Joys and sorrows. Their household was
one of uniform and undisturbed peace
and purity.
Mrs. Seward leaves three sons and one
daughter, all most tenderly attached to
her. Her death is the first in that fam
lily. OF her own family, Mrs. Worden,
an only sister, survives.
The remains, accompanied by the Sc
cretary, their Oldest and youngest sons,
and theronly daughter, leave Washing
ton for Auburn, via Elmira, this morn
ing. Frederick the second son, is too
i'll toleave Westinghouse y Times
