Death Of Gov. Brough, of ohio-cios-
tpR scene.


From the Cleveland Leader.l
The closing scene in the life Of Governor
Brough, as describedto us by an eyewitness,
are full Of interest and pathos. On Monday
evening at about nine o'clock, the Governor
awakened from the inseusibility In which he
had lain for some days and at the request OF
his family, who gathered around his bedside,
Surgeon General Barr informed him that ali
which human skill could do for him had been
attempted and in vain, and that now he was in
the hands Of Almighty God. He could not
live forty.eight hours.
The Governor was greatly shocked at this
announcement, and looking Gen. Barr in the
face, desired him to repeat what he had said
Gen Barr again stated that he had not forty
eight hours to live. The Governor then re-
quested that all except his family and Gen.
Barr should leave the room. After this had
been done, he conversed calmly and ra-
tionally with his family for some time on
private family affairs.
Turning to Gen. Barr, and apparently ad-
dressing his remarks more particularly to
him, the Governor proceeded to speak Of his
religious views and hopes. lie said, in sub
stance, that he was no theologian, and had
never made any profession Of religion.
He had, however, always endeavered to
live honestly and uprightly in his relations
with his fellow-men, and he hoped and be-
lieve1 that he had done so. He confessed
that he had sinnod greatly, although he de-
nounced as false and slanderous rumors of
his drunkenness and licentiousness which had
been circulated.
But, though he had acknowledged that he
had been q great sinner in the sight Of God,
he stated that every act Of his in dscharg-
ing his duties as Governor had been perform.
ed with the strictest conscientiousness, and
with prayerful regard to his responsibility,
not only to the country, but to God.
HI so stated that he had never gone to
bed at night for twenty years without FIRST
praying to God for forgiveness and protection,
and that he died penitently, acknowledging
his sins and trusting in Christ for pardon.
As he spoke, the Governor raised his eyes,
and, as though death lent supernal keenness
to them, exclaimed that he saw the Media
tor standing on the right hand Of the Father,
making. intorcession for his sins. He con-
cluded with the emphatic declaration, several
times repeated: II die happily and glori.
ously."
The scene was deeply affecting, and at the
close Of 1t the Governor put his arms around
the neck Of Gen. Barr, and with deep emo
tion thanked him for his care and attention,
expressing perfect satisfaction with his med
ical treatment. He then took his farewell Of
his family. About midnight he relapsed into
insensibility, which continued without inter-
mission until his death.

LANES activity is very great at higher prices.
Both jobbers and the receiving commission
houses are doing large business. Fancy
eassimeres of desirable styles and fine quail
ties are active at an advance.
The cost Of labor as well as of the raw ma
terial, is very great, both in cotton and
woolen goods; and skilled laborers are scarce
and wanted. Broadcloths are active, scare e

with a light stock; prices steady. Satinets

sought for, especially fine delaines and
merinoes. Black silks are scarce. White
satins are scarce and wanted. Fine coat

HEADo'Rs NIL. Div. OF THE TENNESSEE,
NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. 20, 1885.
Brevef Brig. Gen. E. @. Mason, Commanding
Post Of Ndshpille: ...
GENERAL have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your report of the inves-
tigation ordered by the Major General Com
manding into the causes for the assault upon
Mr.. Joseph Wheeler, late major general in
the army Of the SO called Confederate States,
at the City Hotel, in this city. Your report
has been carefully and impartially considered
by the Major General Commanding, and tho
facts therein elioited and brought out, with
other facts in the same connection, which
have been brought to his notice, show the at
tack on Mr.. Wheeler, by Lieut. Col. Black
burn and Captain Quinn, 4th Tennessee cav
airy, wholly unprovoked and unjusti6able,
and unbecoming an officer in the service Of
the United States. ...
Mr.. Wheeler, as a paroled prisoner, is just
ly entitled to protection, instead Of being ex-
posed to assaults, and his position, by virtue
Of his parole an unarmed man, and hence
without means Of defence, should have been,
and must in future be respected; and not only
in his case, but in the case Of all other per-
sons occupying a similar position.
You will convey to Lieutenant Colonel
Blackburn and to Captain Quinn, Of the 4th
Tennessee cavalry, the notification of the ex-
treme displeasure and reprimand Of Major
General Thomas, for their unoficer like and
highly reprehensible conduct, and say to
them that the muster out Of the service Of
their regiment has been the only reason for
their not being subjected to arrest and trial
by court martial. Their conduct at the time
Of the assault, as we'll as subsequently, has
boon an insult and disgrace to the uniform
they wore. and is justly discountenanced and
frowned down upon by every honorable and
high-minded officer and enlisted man in the
service.
The Major General commanding directs
that you will further require Of Lieutenant
Colonel Blackburn and Captain Quinn posi-
tive and satisfactory assurance for their flu
ture good conduct, and tho strict compliance
with all orders and regulations for the preser-
walton and maintenance Of public peace, and
at the same time advising them that they
will be held to strict accountability for any
further breach Of the same.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient SER

Some Of the newspapers are discussing,
with as much vigor as the state Of the weather
will allow, the management Of railways and
othet corporations. They say that manage
ment Is characterized chiefly by q penny
wisdom, which comes to good many pounds
of foolishness. And that is very true. One
Of the recent most murderous "accidents''-
we use the word out Of tenderness for the
feelings Of the murderers-was caused, II
seems, by the fact that only one brakeman was
employed, when four should have been. In
another case II appears that all those who
were killed were persons who were compelled
to ride on the platforms Of oars, because there
was no room inside. And these things happen
at n time when railway fares are much higher
than ever before, when It seems as though
everybody was travelling, and when more

that it costs each Of those gentlemen s., 900
