Death of Artemus Ward.

Charles +. Browne, better known as AR
TEMUs WARD, the celebrated humorist,
died at Southampton, England, on Tues
day Few names have been more familiar
to the public for the last few years than
his. A cotemporary gives the following
particulars as to his life.
"He was born in Waterford, Maine He
learned the printers trade in youth, and
worked at his trade on the Cleyelasd Pydin-
dealer, Of which he subsequently became
local editor. He first commenced the pub
lication of Artemus Wards letters iii that
journal. They obtained an immediate and
wide popularity, and their author soon be-
came one of the most successful OF the comic
writer's and lecturers of the coutitry. His
books sold largely, and they, with his lee
turing tours, especially the one to Calitor-
nia, yielded him an independent fortune
He was connected with various journals and
periodicals during his life, and was at one
time editor of Vanity Far, one OF the long
est-lived of American comic papers. The
last year of his life was spent in England,
and his success in London seems to have
been equal to his success In this couhtry.--
Few men have made so many people laugh
as Artemus Ward. He was mati Of genial
temper, and will be kindly remembered b.
thousands of personal friends. Peace TO bis
ashes!
To Mr.. Brownies credit let it be known
that he has directed in his will that his
property, after the death of his mother (he
having no wife or childrcn) shall 60 towards
the erection of an asylum for printers.

Another Murder in Chicago.

"A Iatal StaDOlng ARRAY occurred at No.
$40 State Street, Chicago, on the night of
the 9Th inst, the victim being young man
named Michael Spar. The perpetrator of
the bloody deed is an abandoned female who
boarded at the house indicated whose real
name is Emma Helmbold, but who has also
been known by the aliases of Emma Grant
and Emma Howard, and at the present time
answers to the latter appellation She is
described as prepossessing and even fascin-
ating in appearance. The deceased was
about 2S or 20 years Of age, resided with
his parents at No. 2l9 third Avenue, and
for some time past has been employed as
driver Of mail wagon between the postof-
fee and the Chicago and Rock Island and
Michigan Southern r. r. depots. The par
ties had been intimate for some time preyi-
GUS, but on one occasion they had quarreled
he had kicked her, and she had threat
ened vengeance.
On the occasion of the tragedy they were
together in the bagnio at which she resided.
A quarrel arose about a pack of cards
which he had playfully taken from her and
refused to return. A scuf1e ensued which
attracted the attention of those in an ad-
joining room When they entered the room
they found that Spar had been stabbed in
the side. He ran across the street to drug
store, where prompt assistance was at hand,
but it was of no avail he died in few min
utes.
The murderess was arrested, and the 9TH
or ''boarders' taken into custody to ensure
their presence as witnesses.

GEN. THOMAS suggests very sim
pie plan for the government of the
rebel States. He proposes to let the
present State Governments remain as
they are, but appoint in addition a
commission of loyal persons, armed
with judicial powers, try all cases
which arise between loyal men and
rebels, and make of the military a
posse to enforce the authority of the
courts. The object of Mr.. BINGHAM S
bill, recently introduced, is to legalize
the latter part of the plan.

That the Democratic members of
the Senate have fully determined eth
er to dictate or prevent legislation, is
wellestablished fact. IS
Rule or RUM is still the maxim
of the party. With the illustrious an
cestors of their original tribe, they say
it is !" better to reign in He'll than
serve in -" or any other place. So
they propose either to force the adop-
ton of their views on the dominant
party, or to secede, and go-not exact
ly to that torrid region over which the
aforesaid ancestor" presides-but to
some locality on the Southern border
oe the State, where they can escape
arrest by crossing the river into Ken
lucky.
True to their rebel instincts, and in
harmonious consistency with Demo-
cratic precedents, they have not watt
ed for provocation, for any invasion
of their rights, or for the passage of
a single act of which the most
petulant Cop. dares to complain.
But with a keen scent of trouble
afar off, of danger in the dim dis
lance, they prefer to fee from imagin-
airy wrath to come rather than,
like honest men, to stand at their
posts and manfully contend against
such measures as they believe antago-
nistic to the interests Of their party.
In this respect their intended action
resembles that of their political
brethren, who, during the war, bolt
ed to Canada rather than enlist in
the army of the g Sons of Liberty =
or go with the Lincoln dogs to
fight their'Southern co-rebels iasa
At a recent caucus they put them
selves under the control Of 10. Nc

ed, byresolution, as the acknowledge
ed leaders of the party" and whose
guidance they pledged themselves to
follow in the peculiar curcumstan-
cess in which they were placed.
They have grumbled and made
some wry faces at the s" boiling bill "
which was not originated as a party
measure, and has never been pressed
as such. 1t did not pass the House
by strict party vote, aud there has
been no inclination shown, up to this
time, to press it in the Senate That
bill. they say, with the emergency
clause attached, is al direct personal
insult to them, as it assumed that
they meant to break quorum.
Had they approached the subject
in proper spirit, and Withheld their
blatant threats, there is little doubt
that the Union members of the Senate
would have consented to drop the Of
fensive clause in Difference to the
scruplesf of the minority, for the
mdc b talked of boiling bill" has
not been regarded, in the Senate, as

the way of nursing.
No candid man Of any party will
deny that the State should be re-
distrieted for congressional and legis-
latige representation. All admit the
outrageous upfairness of the present
arrangement, which was shamefully
unjust at first, and has been getting

There is no intention on the part of
the majority to take undue advantage
of their position. Although they
have worked themselves into power
where they were, apparently, HOPELESS
ly showed under" by Democratic
jerrymandering, they do not propose
to follow the examples which that
party has always set inevery State Of
the Union, by DISTINGUISHING" the
minority whenever has had an op
portunity to apply Democratic geome-
try to the districting of State.
Republican leaders have sense
enough to know that the party owes
its strength to the adhesion of men of
character who will give it their sup
port no longer than its policy is con-
formed to the principles of justice and
equity. Were it to violate those prin-
ciples by recklessly disregarding the
rights of the minority, by legislation
Of purely partisan character, by cut
ting the State into uncouth polygons,
and calling them Legislative or Con-
gressionaba Districts, Regardless of
every principle, save party ascend

pose to tarnish its fair fame by any

The Congressional apportionment
will be further discussed and its de-
tails will be equitably arranged in the
party without calling on the opposi-
ton for advice ar sdggestions; aud
when the bill is put upon its passage,
threats of boiling or resignation
will not alarm nor deter the authors
of the measure from the full perform
ance of their duty. So with all other
acts which common justice and the
of the people demand. There
will be no compromise. The majority
will rule with no thought of submit
ting to the insolent dictation Of
factious and revolutionary minority.
IF the Cops. bolt, doubtless an effort |
will be made to bring them back. If
they resign, they will be unable to
sustain themselves before their con-
stituents, and. better men will be sent
to fill their places.
Whatever course the malcontents
