OBITUARY..
Phineas ID. GurIey, ID. ID.

The Washington Star of yesterday says: This
morning, at eight O'Clock, the death OF the Rev.
DIR. Phlneas ID. Gurley. the beloved pastor OF the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church took
place at the residence of Judge Casey, on G
street, between Four.and-a half and Sixth
streets. DR.. Gurley has been IN bad health for
year past, from arrangement of the stomach.
Some months ago, with the hopes OF bettering
his health, he spent short time with friends
In Philadelphia, and returned in April to make
preparations for trip to California, but after
reaching New York 1t was found that he was
too weak to undertake the voyage He then
proceeded to Clifton Springs, Western New
York, where he remained until week ago,
when it was apparent that he could not survive
many days. He was then brought to this city
and taken TO the residence of his friend Judge
Casey, where every attention was paid him, Drs.
Y. p. Garnett attending him. He has been
gradually sinking for a week past, and, autici-
pating his early demise last Sabbath he sent
message to his congregation. He retained
ard before h death spoke In affection
ate terms to .nose Of his relatives and
friends present, leaving messages of love and
affection to those absent and the members
of his congregation. DR.. Gurley was born
at Hamilton, Madison county, New York, No.
yember IL, 1916, and graduated at Union Col
lege in 1887. Being impressed with the con-
yiction that 1t was his duty to enter the minis
try, he studied at the Theological Seminary at
Princeton. N j., from which he graduated in
lS40. In the tall of the same year he was settled
DO tuS paeVOi VI M
Indianapolis, where he remained for nine years,
being then called TO the pastoral charge of the
Fret Church, at Dayton, OhIo, where he
renamed four years. About sixteen years since
he received and accepted call from the f
Street congregation of this city, and very soon
became a favorite with our citizens, and the
church under his charge prospered. Some
three or four years were spent here, when
project was made to unite with the congrega-
tion then worshipping at the intersection of III
street with New York avenue, and the deceased
actively engaged in bringing about a union of
the two CONGREGATIONS, which was effected. The
edifce on F street was sold to the Wllards, and
the old building on New York avenue was in
short time replacing by splendid edidce, in
which the very large congregation now afflicted
by the death OF their beloved pastor, worship.
DIR. GuIley was man of commanding stature,
but was modest and retiring in his disposition;
a siDgularly easy and graceful speaker, and the
arrangement and style OF his discourses was
such as to attract the attention of his hearers
As citizen be had hosts Of friends, aud his loss
will be keenly felt by the community.
Drs. Nichols, Dexter, and Todd this morning
held post mortem examination, which revealed
| the fact that the stomach had thickened and
liberated in patches, one or more of the ulcera-
tlOns being perforated.
His funeral will take place on Saturday next
nj | O'Clock.

Democratic Candidate for Governor
Comes Out for Grant.


Comes Out for Grant
The Detroit Post of 29th ult. speaks as follows:
General A, B. Williams was the Demo cratic
candidate for Governor of Michigan in 1866.
General Williams is now United States Minister
at San Salvador, South America. The following
extract from a,private letter written by General
Williams to a friend in this city, in which the
General declares himself in favor OF the election
OF Grant and Colfax, will be found interesting
reading, particularly by the Democrats who
voted for General Williams for Governor in 1886:

Spain OF late years, aud has again and again
taken sides with the leaders of the Liberal
cause. This was so in 1920, when it was sought
to compel Ferdinand to restore the Constitution

occurred at Malaga for the same object; and
notably in 1854, the date of Esparteros last

position near the Second Congregational Church,
In front OF the house of Mr. Zadoc Il. Morse,
from which place they had view of the roads
IN four directions. The night was dark and
early hour in the morning, when Mr.. Henry A.
Morse, the son OF the gentleman above men,

front of the house, and was on the point OF
entering. when he stepped on the tsot OF Mr..
Russell, who was sitting or lying beneath tree
near the gate. Startled by the unexpected occur.

Seymour and the Soldiers.

The reader will recollect, that when
the measure for allowing soldiers to vote
on the field, while away from home, fight
ing the battles oftheir country, was brought
before the Legislature of the several north
ern States, it was uniformly opposed by
the Democrats. The Republican senti-
ments was, that soldiers ought not to be
disfranchised, while necessitated to be alb
sent i'll the Union army. Democrats
knowing that soldiers, especially volun-
teers, were without exception republicans,
sought to def eat the enactment of laws
allowing them to vote away from home.
Horatio Seymour was Governor of the
State of New York. when the matter of
allowing soldiers to vote was brought be-
fore the Legislature of that State The
Albany Journal copies from the journals
Of the Senate Of April 23d 1868 the fol
lowing proceedings;
"a message was received from the Gov
ernor, yetoing the soldiers proxy vote
| bill, on the ground of its unsonstitution-
ality, and the bill was passed. notwith-
standing his objections-20to 8, w Clark
voting with the Democrats.
"Mr. Gansons resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution to enable
soldiers to vote, passed-20 to 9.
"The resolution characterising the Gov
ernor's message on the soldiers proxy vote
bill as extra official and unauthorized, was
adopted-16 to TO-"
We find the proceedings of the Assem-
bly,, on this bill, during the close of the
session on the oath, were as follows:
"The veto of the Governor on the sol
diers proxy vote bill having been read
the question was taken on passing the
bill over the veto. LOst-37 to 49,
"The House concurred III the Senate
amendments to the resolutions amending
the constitution, so as to allow soldiers to
vote-70 to3"
1t is this man, who denied to soldiers
the right of suffrage, because they had de-
voted themselves to the cause of the coun-
try, who now ask them to make him
President in order that he acting in con.
junction with Southern rebels, may undo
the work which they accomplished with
so much sacrifice of blood and treasure
But the "boys in blue" will not thus be
deceived.

VERMONT ELECTION.

First Gun Of the Fall Campaign.
The annual election in Vermont for
Governor and Member of Congress, oc-
CURED on Tuesday last The result is an
overwhelming Republican victory; the re-
turns so far as received, indicated Repub-
lIcan majority of from $4,000 to 10000,
an increase over last year of from 5000 to
10000. Vermont has been Republican
for many years, but the majority this
year will probably exceed that of any for
mer time for the past ten years It will
be remembered that some of the leading
Democratic Journals have been predicting
great gains for the Democracy in Vermont
this fall. Their predictions in regard tc
other States will probably prove equally
fallacious

An Irish Republican Meeting Mobbed in

Yokes the ire of their Hibernian neigh

The Chicago Times attempts to palliate
the outrage BY making its readers be

sequence; also that the object OF themeet-

posters about the city definitely stated the
purpose of the meeting, and if the copper

were too ignorant to read the large print

Specie PAYMENTS,

United States Treasurer, F. E. Spinner
has written letter, which is published
in the New York Tribune in favor of an
immediate returnto specie payments. The
Tribune commends the letter as fol-
lows:
'The excellent letter from Gen. Spinner

positions Of the necessity for speedy re-

he shows how the National Banks can aid

IMPENDING Var.


The rebel element of the South is be-
coming more and more defiant and threat
ing. The loyal whites, especially, are
subject to all sorts of indignity, and life,
in very many localities, is insecure. The
nomination of Seymour and Blair seems
to have inspirited those lately engaged in
open rebellion with hopes of the ultimate
triumph of their avowed purpose six years
ago. Columns might be filed with ex-
tracts from southern papers, exhibiting
the expectations the people hope TO real
ize In the election of Seymour and Blair
The Mobile Tribune rapturously cxclaims
as follows
IF we are successful in the approaching
contest we shall regain all that we have
lost IN Che Lost Cause. We shall be
treemen once more we shall have a coun-
try. Once more to the breach tben-vet
once more! And when the cloud shall
have cleared away from the flaming field,
our fiag-the grand old Confederate flag,
will be seen in all its glory streaming'like
the thunderbolts against the Nied Let
US rally then once more around .AI DEAR
OLD Flag, which we have followed ) of
ten to glory and to victory. Let us plant
our standard in the midst of the field Land
let US once more raise the war cry-'he
who doubts is damned he who dailies Is
bastard I"
The people of the Northern States may
as well understand atonce what the South
expect to. accomplish by the election of
the Democratic ticket The only way to
avoid the impending danger is to defeat
the Southern rebels at the polls in 9TH
er words, prevent the election of Sey-
mour and Blair
