Death of Daniel y. Dickinson.

Intelligence OF the death OF Hon.
Daniel ). Dickinson was received
yesterday with equal surprise and re.
gret. He died on Thursday evening,
{ l3th) at eight o'clock, after an i'll,
ness of hernia lasting only three
days. He was born in Goshen, Litch-
field County, Connecticut, September
IL, 1900, and was in the sixty. .venth
year OF his age at the time OF his de-
cease. Whom he was six years old
his family removed to New York,
where he has since resided. He
adopted the profession of the law,
being admitted to the bar at the age
of thirty, and soon after embarked
III politics After serving in the
State Senate, as Lieutenant Cover
nor, and Judge of the Court OF Err
rors, he was elected to the United
States Senate from New York, where
Le remained from 1914 to 1851, since
which time he lived mostly in retire
mcnt, though at his death he was
District Attorney in New York, and
during the last ten days engaged on
the alleged Chllian priyateer Meteor
cases. His bold and ringing orations
in behalf OF the Union during the late
war commanded great attention in
this country and Europe, and will be
preserved among the choice speci-
mems of forensic eloquence belonging
TO the great epoch OF our country.
Not the least grateful in the his
tory Of Mr.. Dickinson is the fact that
the first rebel gun changed him from
a Breckenridge Democrat to an ar
dent and working supporter OF the
Government There was, at one time
during the Baltimore Convention, a
prospect that he would receive the
nomination for Vice President Which
which was conferred upon Andrew
johnson.
