aggravated at it; and Pat, being q
hot-blooded IriShman, rather willing than

THE BALTIMORE GAZETTE ON THE DEATH
OF JEROME NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE, ESQ
This esteemed and well-known citizen of
Baltimore died at his residence on Park
street about thalt-past O'Clock yesterday
morning, after Il lingering and painful i'll
ness. He was the son of Jerome BOnaparte,
the brother of the great Napoleon, who
visited Baltimore in the early part of the
century. and married i'll 1903 Miss Eliza
beth Patterson, daughter Of one Of our lead
ing merchants. The married couple sailed
shortly afterwards for Europe, and Mrs.
Bonaparte was refused permission to land
in France. She went to Holland and thence
to England, where heI late son was born in
1905. Napoleon caused the marriage of his
brother to be pronounced in Europe q
nullitv, and the latter subsequently was
made King of Westphalia, and mar
ried the daughter of the King Of Wurtem-
berg. BY this lady he had three children,
of whom the Princess Mathilde and Prince
Napoleon are still living. The late Mr.. Boz
naparte leaves two sons, one of whom gra-
duated at West Point and after seeing some
service on the Texan frontiers, entered the
French army, in which he now holds the
rank of major. His venerable mother still
survives him. Mr.. Bonaparte was of quiet
and transformations habits, and was univcr-
sally respected for his courteous bearing,
his amiability, his frankness, and his integ-
rity. About two hours after his death, and
also at his residence, died Mrs. Williams,
the mother of Mrs. Bonaparte, at IN adj
yanced age.

Possibility OF MIR. Hoar's Tenure of
Office Continuing LOnger-Radicals
UproOting the Military Record of
the new AppOintee-UnpOpu
of the. Administration.
q to the Dispatch.


Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, June IS, 1870.
The best information obtainable is to the
effect that at present Cabinet matters are
likely to remain IN statu quo, and il the radi-
cal Republicans Of Georgia can have their
way with Congress-, it is not improbable
that Mr.. Hoar will remain some time longer,
Us his retirement depends upon the contir-
nation and qualification Of a successor and
if some of the signs that presented them
selves to-day are Of value, it may be delayed
for weeks If not months longer.
Some of the Radicals are uprooting the
record of Mr.. Alderman rs an officer of
the Confederate army in Georgia with
the hope of making it effectual in defeating
his confirmation. The President looks upon
these efforts to defeat his will with consid.
cradle disfavor, but the knowledge of it
does not in the least temper the indignation
of the surprised politicians who refuse to
give their consent to the new appointment.
The friends of MIR. Robson, who has
been mentioned us likely to resign, assert
that there is not the slightest indication OF
any such intention OH his part.
The complaint comes in to Republican
members Of Congress from parties who
have business in the Government Depart
ments requiring intercourse direct with the
different secretaries, that the treatment in
many instances is certain to render the un-
popularity of the Administration even
stronger than it is. 1t is not the people
who grumble so much. The politicians
have taken the matter up, and though some
time ago the policy was to remain quiet
under their failures and regrets, it is now
universally conceded among them that a
time has arrived when "forbearance has
ceased to be virtue," and they are up for
action. IIMON.
