[From the Washington Chronicle Of Wednesday,

twelve o'clock last night at his residence in

passed away calmly and quietly, without o

not unlocked for by the members Of his house,
hold. Last evening, at about nine o'clock, his
attendant physician, DR.. Noble Young, called
to pay him professional visit. and st once
discovered that the old mans life was ranidly
drawing to q close. He so informed the imInndi-
ate friends e Mr.. Stevens, who was then too weak
to give expression to his feelings. That he was
fully prepared for the great change there is no
doubt, for he had long been aware Of the frail
tenure by which he held his life. Yesterday he
remarked to those around him that he was
rapidly sinking, and had no hope of ever re-
suming his accustomed seat in the capitol.
He conversed with great cheerfulness ana anil
mati.n, talking on variety Of ordinary topics,
and evncing lively interest il that which ln-
terested those around him. In conversation
with Mr.. Simon Stevens, about the same time,
he referred to MIR. Evarts, Attorney-General,
in terms of marked kindness and confidence.

AFTERNOON, and at about four o'clock P.
M. ho lost the power Of speech, and from
that time lay quietly without giving any
indications of suffering. About ten minutes
before bis death, Sister Loretta requested the
permission OF his friends 10 perform the bap-
tismaI rite and no objec ion being offered, the
ceremony was performed amid impressive 81
lence. To her who performed it this act un-
doubtedly appeared one Of great Importance,
and the earnest and affectionate devotion with
which it was done strongly affected those who
witnessed it, even those holding different
faith from hers. It is worthy OF note that the
sisters whose benevolen: works had been so
heartily seconded by the great departed IN fur
nishipg aid and lending his legislative efforts
in behalf Of the institution to which they are
attached, providence Hospital visited him
daily during his illness.

I have in my possession so much proof OF the

one which provides that hotels, barrooms,

its existence depends upon license under law,

conversationaliy at least the proposition docs
not meet with the favor Of the intelligent col
ored majority Of the Legislature; but 1t illus
trates the character of some Of the white men
who are seeking the control of the black mans
vote. Not daring themselves to take stand
on the question of social equa ity, and face the
public opinion of the whole country, whether
Republican, Conservative or Democratic, they
have prepared the bill, consigned it to the care
of one or two colored men in the Legislature,
and have left them to make the issue. There
is not much doubt that the scheme will sue
ceed. Possibly it will be amended; but there
is not man in the Republican party to-day
who expects to run for Congress, or to obtain
the negro vote of the State for any Office, from

measure; and you will see it on the call for the
yeas and nays.
Every hour establishes the fact that the
demagogue who for three years has used the
colored man to achieve his base ends, is lead
ing him steadily but surely to his own political
destruction. Another fact is likewise cstab-
lished, namely, that these extreme white men

THE NEWS FOR THE CAMPAIGN
GREAT INDUCEMENTS TO CLUBS.


THE importance of the great political con-
,est nnon which ne have now fairly entered,
renders the dissemination among the people
of sound political views and accurate and ca
" information Of the progress and incidents
of the canvass, a matter Of peculiar interest
and expedienoy. Every individual who has
anv stake in the welfare Of these Southern
States, should give an active, personal and un-
tagging support to the candidates Of the
National Democracy-SEYMoUR and BLAIR. A
triumph of the Radicals will result in the
inter desolation and ruin Of the South, and
the placing Of an ignorant and brutal race IN
all positions and places Of honor and trust' 10

ment must be wrested from the thieves ana
-,,,n1nderers who now have control OF it, and
nouer nlaced in the hands Of party pledged
IN give peace to distracted country, and to
make it government for white men, and not
for negroes. 1t is only necessary that the peo-
ple should be thoroughly informed to accom-
plish this, and THE NEWS will be an admirable
means of difusing this information. In order
to place the paper within the reach Of all we
have adonted q scale of reduced rates Of SUBJ

The Mccarthy Cotton Gin.

After running United States patent term Of
fourteen years, and extension Of seven more,
and still seven years more added to that, it
will be seen by the annexed correspondence
that the Mccarthy Gin is at this late day
charged with an infringement on a patent OF re-
cent date. There is no doubt that this action
is taken to injure the sale Of this gin and ad-
efforts Of similar nature, it is more than
likely this charge will have the contrary effect,
as it cannot be sustained, and only serves as an
opportunity to call the attention Of planters to
the fact that the Mccarthy Gin is still the best
gin made for long cotton, and can be furnish
ed in this city, Savannah, Ca, Fernandina and
Jacksonville, Fla, for s11O cash, while the gin
which it is said to infringe is sold for more
than twice that amount, and we are sure that
trial OF the two will prove that the Mccarthy
will gin more cotton in the same time and do
it better.
