DEATH OF FITZ. GREENE HALLECK.

Our sheet of this day has the sad duty to record the death of Fi;z-Greene Halleck, the poet on Tuesday night, at his residence in Guilford. Connec icut at the age of sev- entytwo years.
 Mir. Ha leck was born in Guilford, Con necticut, in l795. His mother was an FL iot, and descendant of John Elliot ''the apostle to the Indiana" Mir Halleck came to New York in ISIS, and entered the mer- cantile house of Jacob Barker, in whose employment he remained for many years. Afterwards he was in the service of John Jecob Astor, by whom he was nominated one of the trustees of the Astor Library. Since 1SA9 MT. Halleck has lived in his native place, retired from business.
 Mir. Halleck began to write verses in his boyhood. The earliest piece which he thought worthy to appear in his collected poems, the lines to. Twilight" appeared in the Evening Post so long ago as 1918, and the "Croaker" papers, by Halleck and Joseph Rodman Drake, appeared in our journal the following summer. Fanny" his longest poem, was written in 1879. In l822-23 he visited Europe, and in 1927 pub lished an edition of his poems. Several editions have appeared since.
 Mir. Halleck was by no means 8 volumi- nous author, but the poems he wrote have long been favorites with the public. He possessed a peculiar vein of humor, ex- ceedingly airy and graceful, and his versi- ficatlOn IS one of uncommon sweetness and melody. He delighted in rapid transi- tons from gay to grave, and again in un- expected returns from the grave to the lu- dicrous. Yet when the mood was on him he was capable of strains inspired with the highest poetic enthusiasm. There is not in the language 6 liner martial poem than his Marco Bozzaris. His verses addressed to poets dau ghter are as charming as such verses could we'll be, and his Red Jacket-a poem occasioned by the death of an Indian chief of that nama-is, aside from the touches of his charactt rstic hu- nor which it contains, poem of robust and manly vigor, worthy to be placed be- side anything of its kind in our litera- ture.
 Mir. Halleck was personally most agree able man. and one of the pleasantest com panions in the world He was an unwear- jed reader, and used to say that he could think of no more pleasant life than would be afforded by large library and abun- dant leisure. He was acquainted with sev- eral modern languages. He studied Por- tuguese that he might read Camoens in the original, whose ''Lusiad" has lost all of its simplicity and much of it's narrative inter- est in Mickle's diffuse translation. His conversation was entertaing, pointed to degree which made 1t almost epigrammitic, and enlivened with anecdotes, which he related with a concisenesss and spirit that would have satisfied even Samuel Rogers.

 PEDEsTRIANIsM AS IT USED TO BE.-Fos- ter Powell, the celebrated pedestrian, was born in England in 1734. In 1764 he un- which he accomplished in time. The first ten miles he walked in one hour, although he was encumbsred with 8 great coat and leather brooches. He visited several parts of Switzerland and France and gained much fame by his pedestrian feats. h 1773 he walked from London to York and back, Q distance of four hundred miles in five days and eighteen hours. This was his first match for a wager. A few years later he attempted to run two miles in ten minutes but lost the wager by half minute. In 17S6 he walked one hundred miles in twen ty three and three-fourths hours. The next year he walked from Canterbury to Lon- don Bridge and back in twenty-feur hours the distance being one hundred and twelve miles.
 When fifty-eight years old he repeated his tourney to York and back in five days and fifteen hours. On his return he was saluted with loud huzzas of astonished and anxious spectators. In the same year he walked for a bet of twenty guineas six 1 miles in fifty five minutes. At another i time he walked mile in nine minutes and twenty seconds and run mile in five min utes and twenty three seconds. In person he was tall and thin. about five feet nine inches high. very strong downward. He died in l793. His complexion was sallow. He was always poor, never caring for mon ey. His funeral was characterized as a walking one. He was followed to the grave by, twenty persons on foot and in black gowns. 3

WHOLE NO. 227o.

. The undersigned being minority of the joint select committee on the sale of iQuors to whom were referred sundry bills and petitions respecting tne sale of intoxicating liquors, beg leave to re- Hlat after & full hearing of the advocates of q law, and the friends of the present prohibi- tory law, they have come to the following concIr- sion: 1.,t@I~
 Ist That the principle of prohibition in respect to the sale of intoxicating liquors as beverage is r4ght. ......
 Ed. That the enforcement of the present law has uuifo mly been attended with thehappiest result in diminishing intemperance and cl ime in the State; that i'll many portions ot the State this law has al- to enforce the law in different parts of the state have been countenanced and sustained by all the friends of law and good government, Irrespective of party.
 Sd. That while many of our citizens desire the enactment of more stringent prohibitory law en- podylng the constabulary system of of our sis- ter States and others believe it wise to break down some of the barriers already existing against the unrestricted sale of intoxicating 1uuors as beyer- age, the undersigned deem it best to make still further trial of the present law which has proved Tn many towns of the State to have been from tha lrst, Ill the highest decree salutary, and which we believe Will be found to be equally sautary in every portion of the State. -
 4Jh. That in order to secure the most beneficial results from the present prohibitory law, we do not deem It either necessary or desirable to make use ot any other istrumenra1ties than such as are ordinarily employed to enforce any other penal law.

Sensible Words.

Alluding 10 the political direction that
the colored voter may be made 10 assume,
IL II should pass entirely under tho control
Of few designing traitors; and urging,
that as that class are invested with the
franchise, division in ito political action
would be wholesome, the National Intelli-
gencer discourses thus sensibly:
"The lessons Of history teach in vain II
We do not take alarm at the prospect of a
vast body of men, most Of whom are unpre-
pared by the most common test Of intelli-
gence to exercise the right of elective fran
chiss, coming in and controlling public affairs
over the heads Of two or three times their
number Of white men. Property-holders
taxpayer and all substantial persons in
society should Be profoundly agitated by even
the most rumote prospect Of an oligarchical
control Of few white demagogues, who
use the shoulders Of the blacks as the STEP
ping stones to place, power and authority.-
What atrOcious scheme of outrage In legis-
lation may not be effected by such parties, il
they succeed in aims as high-reaching a. the
means to effect their object are VIGOROUSLY y
culpable2 Yet, IL free born and intelligent
white men are willing to humble themselves
in the dust and allow new fedged officials
that have not their confidence, to trample
upon their rights and interests, it is certain
that such neglect of duty, should II result
disas rously, will awaken the condemnation,
and not the sympathy of the citizens of 9TH
er communities. When the black race un-
der white officers are marshsled solid against
the mass Of whites, shall the latter yield to
whatever fate may impend, without making
a manly effort in peaceful direction TO pro-
tect and preserve their rights2

Singularities or Suffrage.

A nice commentary upon the 9adical do.
mand for impartial suffrage iu the South, is
found in the fact that only eight of the
twenty-five States controlled by the Rsdi-
calls permit such suffrage. OF the New
England States Connecticut Is the only one
that refuses the ballot to colored men,
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont make
no distinction whatever In respect TO suf-
frage, but Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
do The laws Of Massachusetts require the
voter TO be able TO read the Constitution OF
the United States in the English language
and to write his name Rhode Island like
wise INDUCES in a little Know-Nothiugsm
in its suffrage law, by declaring that every
native male citizen may vote. La New York
negroes with certain qualifications are al
lowed to vote; that is, such as are worth two
hundred and fifty dollars, and have been in
the State three years. In Wisconsin ne
groes are allowed TO vote by virtue Of de-
cision by the Supreme Court Of that State
upon technicality. 10 Ohio the greater
part of the negroes vote although the law
gives the ballot only TO those who have more
than half white blood. Darkies who are
,ss black as charcoal can vote there in the
Radical districts, under the balf-white law.
In nearly all Of the other States, however,
the Radicals have declined, by tests In pop
ular elections. to give the negroes that which
they so strenuously insist the Southern peo-
pie shall give them.--N. y. Sun.

"Congress will much better perform its
