DEATH OF DANIEL s. DICKINSON Daniel S.
Dickinson, of New York, died on the 10th
instant, of strangulated hernia. He was born
in Connecticut, in September, 1900; removed
to New York when young; served in the New
York Legislature; was elected to the United
States Senate in 1912; professed to be a
genuine State Rights Democrat, of the Jeffer-
son school; was much talked of as Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency but
when the Abolitionists got into power, he
rushed into their party with all his might,
and went to the EXTREMIST lengths of the
Radicals, proclaiming, in a speech, at Wash
ingtou, that Constitutions did not make
Governments, but that Governments made
Constitutions and thus belying all the
former professions of his life. 1t is such mer
as these, when elevated to power, that have
betrayed the principles of constitutions
liberty and brought our once glorious country
to the very brink of ruin.

Obituary.

Monuments, memoirs and biographies attest
the deep-seated desire of the human heart TO
commemorate the virtues, and to perpetuate
the memories Of the honored dead; flowers
strewn upon the grave are beautiful testi-
monials to the departed one--so this feeble
tribute to the memory of Mrs. ACHSAH d.
JONES, wife of WILLIAM t. JONES, near
Poolesville, Nd who died, on the 14th inst,
in the 4lst year Of her age, and in the It'll OF
her membership Of the Baptist Church, at
Poolesville.
In her relations of wife and mother she was
frugal, industrious and affeetionate; and il
any trait predominated over the rest of her
strong characteristics, it was her fervcncy and
yearning of soul for the virtue and welfare Of
her children.
Her faith in Christ sustained her long
affection, though severe; through them all
she was serene, and, in death, triumphant.

ms The Radicals, or Destructives, are ben.
on subverting the rights Of the States and
concentrating ell power in despotic govern
ment, at Washington. When this happens, we
may bid farewell to the liberties of the people.
A Washington letter writer says TnAD. STE-
WINS Air Line railroad will pass the House,
II SO, the road from the Point of Rocks to
Washington is doubtful. Gen. GARFIELD, Of
Ohio, has a bill before the House to regulate
railroad making, and concentrate it in the

tee is created favorable to giving to the gen
eral government unlimited power of making
telegraph lines. If this goes on, we will soon
be as the people of France were in the most
dcspotic times, when they could not make OF
repair o bridge over the smallest streams
without applying for leave to the supreme
government. at Paris. Truly did our wise
forefathers dread the dangers of consolda
ton, but their arguments were ridiculcd al
Virginia abstractions. But they well knew
that despotic governments appointed swarm

Mn. EDIroR: | see, with much regret, that
the School Commissioners Of our county have
given notice that the Public Schools will be
discontinued for several months, for want o.
funds. would respectfully inquire whether
enough of the funds have been retained to
promptly pay the salaries of these officers,
during this vacation, and if such is not the
case would suggest that the County Com
missioners at once take the matter into con-
sideration and make an appropriation for that
purpose. To deprive the children of school
advantages for months is a trifiing incoD-
venience, but to have Offices that do not pay
in these days of universal prosperity and low
taxes, is thing not to be thought of.
CONNECTICUT CLERGy.-The New Haven In

conduct.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHuRcH SoUTH. -
The address of the Bishops of the Methodist
Episcopal Church to the General Conference
in session at New Orleans sets forth that
regular conferences were rendered impossible
during the war; recommends continued at
tention to the spiritual wants OF the blacks
rejoices over the fact of the accession of the
Baltimore (Alexandria) Conference, with 1o4
ministers and IL, 600 members; urges renewed
zeal in the training of ministers and the in
struction of children in Sunday schools, and
discourages reunion with the Church North.
The address says; No proposal of fraternal
relations has come to US from others. In our
conscious integrity we should calmly await
the inevitable hour when, in the providence OF
God, an enlightened public opinion will vim
dictate our claims as church of God and a
true type of Methodism."

BUTTER.-It is said that, in consequence OF
the cattle plague. large quantities of butter
and cheese are being shipped from this country
to England, and that this is the explanation
of the great rise of butter here. The news
from England is that butter had there fallen
Cd. pound. Butter has no doubt been hur-
ried from all quarters into England, and u
glut in the market is the consequence. 1t is
TO be hoped the price will tumble here. A
No. ! article of butter is now sold at the
enormous price of ninety cents pound, and
ordinary roll brings from 65 to 10 cents. The
grass is springing in the fields, and the diaries
ought to be better supplied in consequence.
The idle labor Of the country could do no
better than take to the farm and the dairy,
under present circumstances. Witha consider
able reduction in prices the pursuit will still
be largely remunerating. All edible products
are scarce in comparison with the demand

PLANTING LARGE CRors IN VIRGINIA. 1t is
stated by the Lynchhurg Netcs that the farmers
of that section, the Piedmont region, and in
the southwestern portion of the State, and in
other localities of Virginia, are assiduously
devoting their time and energies to the main
objects Of raising large crops of the various
agricultural productions during the present
year. Preparations have been made for the
cultivation Of large crops of corn, and more
than an average amount of oats has already
been put in the ground. The wheat crop, it
is generally conceded, will not prove an
average one, though better supply will be
realized than was anticipated a few weeks
ago.

THE TRIAL OF JEFFERSON DAvIs.--The Wash
ington correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Ledger declares positively that the Attorney
General is busily engaged in arranging for the
speedy trial of Jefferson Davis. lie will be
arraigned before one of the Circuit Courts Of
the United States upon the charge of high
treason. The Attorney General holds that
there is no such thing as constructive presence
in the crime of treason, and on this account
the trial will probably be either in Tennessee
or Virginia. VIM. NJ. Evarts is the only gen
tleman whose name has yet transpired who is
to assist the Attorney General in the prosecu-
ton, though several other eminent lawyers
have been retained by the government. Chas.
0'Connor and James 7. Brady, of New York,
William B. Reed, of Pennsylvania, and a
lawyer from Mississippi, are to conduct the
defense.

Record gives the following account of the in
terview:
nAdmitted into the Presidents room, each
of the gentlemen composing the committee
was duly presented TO the President, where
upon Gen. Hammond, in few eloquent and
impressive remarks, presented the resolutions,
giving to Mr.. Johnson an earnest assurance
Of determined support from the State Of Ma
ryIand Mr.. Donaldson also congratulated
the President upon the manly and determined
stand which be had taken to restore the coun-
try and preserve the Constitution. The Pre-
sident, in reply, said to the committee that
their expression of confidence in his admins
tration came at an opportune time that there
were times when the bravest men needed en-
enlargement, and that he felt grateful for the
appreciation of his public conduct, commune
Gated through the committee; that he had al
ready filed all the various stations in life to
which ambition would aspire that his career
would soon be ended that it was not neces-
sary for him to repeat to the committee the
assurances which he had already given TO the
country that he had no other motive in the
direction of his administration but the good
of the nation, and that with the Constitution
as his guide, under God, he was determined to
restore the country. These are few 0: the
remarks of the President, as repeated to us by
gentlemen of the committee, and therefore de-
tail very imperfectly all that was said. The
committee assure us that nothing could have
been more impressive than the whole manner
and bearing of Mr.. johnson during the in
terview.n
