LastDaxs of Gen. Cass.

For some year and half past he has been
suffering more or less from disease of the kid
neys which took, however, no serious form
unit! the latter part of December, 1865, con-
tinuing then with great severity during the
months of January, February and March, of
the present year. Indeed, as early as the be-
ginning of January it was feared that he
would not live, and his absent children We're
telegraphed to come home; but he fingered
on through April, when signs of improvement
became manifest and continued until early in
June, when his condition was such as to per-
NIT of his walking out in the garedn, and to
give his family and friends strong hopes of
his recovery. 7aJg
As late as Wednesday night last, II he sat
up and conversed freely with his children, but
on Thursday, symptoms of the old disease re-
appeared and he became mucL worse, failing
rapidly throughout Friday and Saturday, and
to the hour of his death, on Sunday morning.
He had FIVE children, four of which survive
him-Elizabeth Cass, deceased Lewis Cass;
Mary, now Mrs. Garfield; Matilda, now Mrs
Ledyard; Isabella, now Mrs. Won Limburg.
He left will There was not and has not
been at any time during the Generals illness,
anything which partook of the nature of
VI lhO Cfo ill- D.
On the contrary, he was throughout bright
and cheerful, and frequently spent momente
in relating to his medical attendant incidents
of his past eventful life and career. He could
dictate for hours, and tire out an amanuensis
He possessed that faculty, common to but
few men, of debating five letters on different
subjects at time. He had an excellent
memory At one time he delivered an ex-
temporaneous speech in the Senate, and the
morning after repeated it verbatim to the re-
porter, ...e s.i

AGAIN ANOTHER ROBBERY Some fends,
it appears, entered Moore's restaurant, on Mar
ket Square, Friday night between the hours
of twelve and one O'clock, BY forcing the
back window, and so quietly, yet so dexte-
riously did they go to work, that they sue
ceeded in robbing the restaurant Of money,
liquors, and cigars, to the amount Of $50, and
as quietly made their exit with their ill-got-
ten booty. We understand that no arrests
have, as yet, been made 7di BUS
Now, it seems strange to us, that such a
bold and successful robbery should be allowed
to take place on Market Square, one of the
most central positions of the city, without the
watch being made cognisant of the fact,

D1sGRAcEFUL FIGHT. Quite disgraceful
row occurred yesterday morning, at about II
o'clock, opposite Lees stables, on Church ST.,
CONNIE 1cing between two neighbors, named
Moore and Donahue, in which heavy blows
were passed, accompanied by the most saw
age yels. The fight first took place in the
house of one of the combatants, then con-
t;nued in that of the other, when several of
the gentler sex having decided to take band
in it, it was finally concluded in the yard of
Donahue's house, we understand. The won-
en- bore a conspicuous part in this disgraeeful
riot, and quite large crowd of lockers on

Fine Language.

The Nation thus comments upon the use in
this country of fine language ..t.....e
elbow few people live in houses; how many
reside in residences or mansions How few
schools there are left how many academies
and institutes and establishments. The
race of women is nearly extinct, while ladies
swarm all over the land Such thing as a
fowl is now rarely ever seen on a dinner tA-
BILE; the oldest cock that is ever served up is
sure to be chicken Mutton, too, is be-
coming scarcer and scarcer; lamb is more
plentiful There has not been for many a
day such thing in the United States as a
storekeeper or shopkeeper: the smallest ped
dler is now merchant.
goo We hardly ever hear of anybody in the
newspapers not day-aborer, who does not
boast fine talents aud dignifed manners.
Nobody now delivers speech or an address
on any set occasion he delivers an GRAFTON.
The President is fast ceasing to be President
having been promoted to the office Of our Chief
Magistrate. There are even very few men OF
moderate attainments; most men who lay
claim to anything beyond common school
education, and are not actually engaged in
business, are spoken of as ripe scholars, and
and abstain from morning drinks, they be-
come accomplished gentlemen, sfsr. ~. r.
If any man advocates negro suffrage he
takes his stand on the platform of the brother
hood of man. Steward oysters and chicken
salad are neither supper nor lunch, but an
elegant collation. Sermons are nearly all
or at least all those that are considered worth
speaking of-powerful discourses,' Even
wives are gradually disappearing; men write
themselves down in the hotel books as being
accompanied by their ladies' whatever that
may mean. In most parts of the West even
academies and institutes bid fair to become
extinct, their places being taken by funlver-
sites .aat}&h &GLfctk lAFtu
t''No girl now ever leaves school; she grad
yates Inns and taverns have disappeared
long ago; we find nothing but hotels in all
directions. There are even signs that bar
rooms will soon be superseded by sample
rooms The process has already begun, in
New York People do not teach things now;
they are professors of them. Corn doctors
are 'chiropodsts.

sreecb of Hon. Jobn Goode.

Il The speech OF this gentleman at the City
Hall on Saturday evening, was replete with
sound sense and wisdom. 1t is evident from
the views expressed by this gentleman, that
he is the man for the place. His extensive
leg slativc acquaintance alone, gives him a
superior claim to the suffrages of the citizens
to those Of any other candidate. There is
hardly doubt of his election, however, and
any thing that we could now add to the opin-
ions and estimate we have heretofore express
ed, would be of little influence, as the ques-
ton Of his election will have been decided be-
fore our remarks can be read.

vancement and prosperity, and that of the
city of Norfolk, should it he the pleasure OF
the citizens to select him as her representa-
tive. The State had been impoverished and
her resources paralyzed. The condition OF
her fhances would first demand attention. IL
would be ruiuous and unjust to require the
people to pay off their debts incurred pe'ore
the war. There must breathing speh DC
given-an opportunity offered to pay al soliie
future time what was due. lie was IN IaVor
of Stay-law. Norfolk should be placed on
the same footing as other portions OF the
State Here Mr. GooDE was loudly .ap-
nianded / Why should it be otherwise
Wbv onnress the honest Norfolk debtor
ruby f,rce him to settlement, while citizens
in ether portions of the State were granted
more time There was no reason and no
iustice in the discrimination. He was in favor
of encouraging immigration If our agrlcultu-
raj resources fail, all other industrial pursuits
must inevitably languish. We want capital.
In order to get it, we must repeal our money
laws While seven, eight, ten, twelve per
cent are paid elsewhere, it was folly to at
tract capital here, by offering six per cent.
We must learn to cease to regulate the
price of money by law. Its rate must be
left free as the air and water, we breathe and
drink ae. --'a' z-lo'f7s 2li' Hf
The grand question however, which rose
above all Others, was the consolidation of the
Southern railroads. Upon this the prosperity
of Norfolk depends; not only of Norfolk, but
of Virginia We ought to have stopped that
l"knocking at the door" by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. The very birth
right of the State, as it were, has been given
away. The charter to the Valley Railroad,
was suicidal to the States interest. Let all
our roads lead from Norfolk to the South and
West,
The consolidation of the lines is necessary
to thwart this Baltimore Company. It, was
impossible to overestinate the Importance of
this measure of consolidation. We must
bring the produce here-so that the eagles
may be gathered together if we intend to
have direct trade. In this way only can We
build up manufactures, and employ the labor
and skill of our mechanics and working men
Virginia ought to manufacture for herself
everything necessary Her water power was
immense and inexbaustble, her mines and har-
bors were unsurpassed, her soil the most pro-
life, and her people the most industrious and
intelligent By development Of her vast
resources, Norfolk must become a great
manufacturing and commercial city. This
destiny for her can be accomplished by prop
er exertion and proper measures.
There is great work before u.s. fellow
citizens, if we put forth the effort if we are
determined to pull together to be united
people, that destiny is within our power.
Forgetting the past, let us look forward and
press toward the work The position of Nor
folk is the finest in the world and she must
become great centre of trade. With these
views, if you shall see fit to elect me as your
representative, can only promise devotion
single to your interests.
Mr.. GooDE was enthusiastically applauded

robbed of one gun, clothing and other mate

their booty unmoested We understand that
they entered by the back door which Mr.. R.
