Death Of Col. CLAIM.

Col. Charles @. Clapp died very suddenly
about midnight Sunday. He has been in i'll
health for some time, and has been confined
to his house for months. He was quite COM
Portable ON Sunday, and no immediate danger
was apprehended. About midnight he arose
in his bed and made some request. Before it
could be attended to he had sunk away and
was lifeless.
Col. Clapp was son of the late Hon. Asa
Clapp and was born in 1899, his age at his
death being 68 years and months. In 1882
and 1888 he constituted one of the representa-
tives from this city TO the Legislature. Sub
sequently he was several times the candidate
of the Democrats for Mayor of this city, but al
ways failed of an election. OF late years lie
bas been very active in his exertions to push
through to completion the York & Cumber-
land Railroad and it was through his infu-
ence that the charter was altered and the
route changed to Rochester, N. H. His death
is supposed to have been occasioned by heart
disease
GETTYSBURG NATURALIZATION after the
battle of Gettysburg Col. John B. Bachelor
of Pennsylvania, set himself to construct the
most perfect plan of a battle ever executed
The entire area OF the battlefield, some TWEEN
ty-fve square miles, was first carefully survey
ed and every popularity of surface, wood and
water noted. The plan was then drawn like
an ordinary Typographical map with the i'm
portant difference that instead of the symbols
of topography the drawing represents the re
gion itself with a minute accuracy which is at
tested by the residents of Gettysburg He
then obtained the positions of the Rebel
troops for each day OF the battle from wound
ed officers in hospital there, and subsequently
visited our army at Brandy Station, where he
spent. the entire winter, visiting each regiment
that participated in the action and completing
his work.
The picture is now nearly ready for delivery,
and Mr.. A. Cotton will soon call upon our eiti-
zens for subscriptions Mr.. Cotton was pri-
vate in the ed Massachusetts regiment, and
carries an empty sleeve which tells of what he
has done and suffered for his country. He
has already canvassed Augusta. Governor
Chamberlain says the picture is g admirably
correct and clear" and Adjutant General
Caldwell says II regard it as the best plan OF
battle have ever seem" This testimony is
confirmed by all the corps commanders who
were engaged in the battle Among other
testimonials Mr.. Cotton exhibits letters from
Gen. Howard and Gen. R. B. Ayers. To any
one who desires to form clear conception o.
the battle the map is worth more than ever
sale as it deserves.

A DRUNKEN SENATOR. The Chicago
Journal, leading radical paper, has the
following notice of Dick Yates, the "loiP
Senator from Illinois He is intoxicated
nearly all the time, day and night, and un.
less be changes his course soon, or resigns,
the Senate will expel him. He has not
been in his seat once since the opening of
the impeachment trial, and on several occa-
sions his vote would have decided important
questions. The statement of these painful
facts will sadden many of the friends of the
once beloved and honored Governor Yates.
who, it is now evinent, has lost all self-re>
spect, as well as the respect which is due to
his constituents and to the body of which
he is a member. If he will not resign, the
sooner he is expelled the better. Illinois
must be fully represented in the Senate
when the final vote on the impeachment
trial is given. The present is no time to
triAe with the patience of the Senate, and
the people of Illinois arein no temper to Justify,
encourage, or tolerate the disgraceful course
Of a drunkard in public Office of trust and

New York, May 7.-Governor English b

Of Congress relative to the Supreme Court
and Impeachment, and recommends revis-
of the State Constitution in 1869, to prevent
the inequality of representation.

AWoRD IN TIME.-The dry season having com
nenced, and the summer promising to be an e1-
eeedingly hot one, the utmost precaution should
De taken by the officers and citiEens to prevent
cOnaagration. A disaster of this kind would
almost be the total ruin of the town, and the
country would snffer il proportion, as demonN
sfa'ed at our last great FIRE. The City Council
therefore, should keep the closest vigilance over
:" ohcers, BY causing the 6rewardens to exam
ine the fume through Main street daily, that
mere may always be a sufficient supply of water
,un0ing through the same. The Marshal should
D' instructed to have all combustible rubbish in
ue streets, and particularly alleys, removed,
nuo cause property holders to do the same on
'4er respective premises. There is another nui-
sauce practieed, to which we would call the at
Tn"On Of the Marshal, which is the removing
manure into streets, under pretenee of filing
II goiies. 1t not only causes sickness, but il
"'0mopsuble matter Of the worst kind.
