JEROME NAPOLEON BcNAPARTE.-Jerome Ma
poleon Bonaparte, of Baltimore, died on Fri
day morning the 18th instant, at his residence,
on the corner of Centre and Park streets. He
has been suffering for several months from the
effects of cancer in the throat to which he fell
a victim on the above date. The family has
always occupied high social standing in the
City of Monuments. The deceased was a son
of Jerome Bonaparte, brother to the great Ma
poleon, who landed in New York City in 1903,
on a tour of sightseeing in the United States.
On arriving in Baltimore he met the beautiful
and accomplished Miss Elizabeth Patterson,
daughter of Mr.. William Patterson, a wealthy
oath day of December, 1903. The young couple
visited Europe in 1905, and while they were
awaiting in England the sanction of the French
Emperor to visit France, Jerome Napoleon was
born. separation took place between them
in 1907, in consequence of Napolecn's refusal
to recognize the marriage, and Mrs. Bonaparte
returned to Baltimore in 1911 with her son,
Jerome. lie entered Harvard University in
1926, and graduated at her law school, but
never practiced the profession He was mar
ried TO Miss Mary Williams, of Roxbury, Mas
sachusetts soon after his graduation. He has
resided in Baltimore, except when in Europe
on visiting tours. At q meeting of the "UniOn
Club" his many friends expressed their regret
at his decease, and eulogized his many virtues.
His remains were laid to rest in Loudon Park
Cemetery on Monday morning last

POLITICAL. the Terre Haule District of In
DIANA the Republican Congressional convention
on the 18th instant, nominated Moses F. Dolu
of Lawrence county, as their standard-bearer in
the coming campaign Daniel w. Voorhees,, the
present Democratic representative, will be the
nominee of that party when the convention
meets, as he is the only candidate in the field -
Mr.. Voorhees, sits almost alone in his stubborn
opposition to the advance of the world, in his
seat in the House. Since Vallandingham's voice
is no longer heard there, and Benz. G. Harris
eloquence, with its persuasive logic no longer
leads the National opinion, Mr.. VOORHEES, finds
himself existing in faction with scarce any but
himself for constituency.
On the same date the Republican State conven-
ton Of Maine, met at Augusta, and held a very
exciting session. Thirteen hundred and eighty
three delegates were present. Hon. Sidney Per-
ham was nominated for Governor. On the 10th
instant, the State Temperance Executive COM
mittee met at Auburn, and resolved that the
State convention called by their authority to
meet on the following day be indefinitely post
poned The action of the Republican State con-
vention being satisfactory to the friends OF Tenn
perance, the latter have concluded to support
Perham for Governor, instead of nominating
one of their own.

DEMoCRACY IN VERMONT The Democratic State
convention in Vermont assembled at Montpelier
on the 10th instant, and nominated State ticket:
For Governor, William II. Heaton Of Montpelier;
for Lieutenant Governor, Murrillo Noyes, OF
Burlington; for Treasurer, j NJ. Weeks OF Lynn
DON The convention was harmonious in its
proceedings throughout. Well it may be. The
Democratic party had as well expect to breathe
new life into the rebellion, re-animate the dead
of the "lost cause, re-arm them with the weap-
ons they used for treason, and look for Lee or
pcndence Hall" as expect to carry the State OF
Vermont against the party of progress.

nothing else stirred in the The DID, old fashion!
The fashion that came in with first garments and

and the wide armament is rolled up like scroll The

The above beautiful passage suggested the
following epitaph on its author
''The old, old fashion-Dea th'' is
Right royalty by him

The above is certainly beautiful tribute to
the memory of the great Fictionist of the age.

Proceedings of the Senate.


In the United States Senate on Friday the
18th instant, the memorial of the Board of
Trade of Baltimore, asking for appropriations
for the improvement of the Chesapeake and
Potomac, was referred to the Commerce Com
mittee. On the same date bill passed to do
nate, to any city or municipality, condemned
cannon for the erection of soldiers monuments.
We think this praiseworthy contribution to
the heroism of the brave whose blood was split
and whose lives were given to save the nation
from ruin at the hands of men whose record Of
treason is of greater magnitude than that of
any other in the worlds history. The House
currency bill was referred to the Committe, = a

vilege was taken up and the amending

newspapers, was adopted. We hope the dill.
tory, side-wise motions of the Senate upon this
good measure, will not delay its final passage
until the termination of the session.
On the 18th, the bill extending the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad through Washington
was reported. A bill granting pay to officers
whose commissions were dated while they were
held as Rebel prisoners, for the time they
were in prison, was passed. The bill asking
pension of SO, 900 per annum for Mrs. Lincoln,
was laid aside for the consideration of the Post
office Appropriation Bill.
On the 18th Mr.. Conkling reported the Natu-
ralization bill, with a substitute, which was
laid over for one week.
On the goth instant, petition on behalf of a
former slave, was presented, asking compen-
sation for horses and stock taken for the army
during the war, was presented by Mr.. Sumner,
who asked that test case might be made.
The amendment to the bill abolishing the
ranking privilege, to appropriate $500 to the
use of each member of Congress, was rejected.
They agreed that the abolition of the franking
privilege shall not take effect until October
We very much fear it will still be lingering in
the Senate then, if they do not use more dis
patch in pushing it through

THE ACTION OF THE HOUSE.

Since the above was written the House of
Representatives has considered the application
of Mr.. Whittemore for admission to a seat
among its members. And we are much graft
fed to tell our readers that the Representatives
have come nobly up to their work. We hope
the Democracy will not need a physician in
consequence of his rejection. Mr.. Whittemore
had his credentials returned to him on Tues
day the 2lst instant, by vote of 129 to "a 1!
This is certainly emphatic. We trust those
Democratic journals that have been printing
their guns and reserving their heaviest fire
until Mr.. Whittemore's admission to the House.
will not burst their pieces or injure themselves
by the process of emptying them. Well
wager something handsome, the unwashed are
dissatisfied with his rejection. Republican
Congressman can never do anything that is
satisfactory to them. They have been wasting
their ink in telling the reading public how
corrupt Congress and the Republican party are,
because this political huckster was again ready
to take his seat in the Council Chamber of the
Nation, and that Congress, with Buffers lead,
was about to admit him. What will they say
now? They will likely tell us his constituency
have been imposed upon because Whittemore
was refused admission. A prominent Demo-
crat the other day said that thieves, gamblers,
cut-throats and corruptionists were entitled to
representation, and that Whittemore was the
man to represent them. We beg the gentle
mans pardon, the Democracy got the start of
us in this particular. The class in whose be-
half the above reasons are urged, have been
ably represented by Democrats from New York
City, for more than one term past.

REFoRi CONVENTION IN SOUTH CARoLINA.A
State Convention was held at Columbia, South
Carolina, On the 18th instant, for the purpose
of organizing Union Reform Party, recogni-
zing the amendments that have been made to
the State aid United States Constitution, as
the fundamental law of the land. The conven-
ton was composed of both white and colored
delegates. THY nominated R. B. Carpenter
for Governor. lie is Kentuckan by birth,
and was colonel in the Federal Army, and
is now Circuit Judge of South Carolina
For Lieutenant Governor the convention
nominated GeneralM. c. Butler, an ex- Confed-
crate officer, whose domination was insisted on
by the colored deleg.t ties, and was unanimous.
The proceedings were harmonious and enthu-
siastic. About four-fths of the counties were
represented, and severl remarkable speeches
were ma both while and colored speakers.
The folio" & is the Platform they adopted:
This Convention, representing citizens of South Car
DINA, irrespective of party assemble to organize the
good people of this State in an effort to reform the pre-
sent incompetent eXtravagant preudiced and corrupt
administration of the State Goernmcnt, and to estab
lish instead thereof just and eq laws. order and har
mony, economy in public expenditures, IA strict
liability of oicehoders and the election to office only
of men of known honesty and integrity, duly declare
and announce the following principles upon which men
of all parties may unite for the purAses aforesaid
First The Fifteenth Amendment # the Constitution
of the United having been by he proper author
tiles proclaimed ratified by the requisite number of
States and having been received and equiesced in
law in all the States of the Union ought to be freely
administered and faithfully obeyed asa fundamental
law
Second The vast changes in our systm of Govern
ment wrought by the international Wa between the
two sections of the States and following in its tram
are so far incorporated into the Constitutions and laws
of the States and of the United States as toteque that
they be regarded accomplished facts having the force
and litigation of law.
Third. This solemn and complete recognition of the
existing laws brings the people of South Coplina into
entire harmony upon all questions of civil and poti-
cal rights and should unite all honest men iraH earn
est and determined effort to establish just equal and
faithful administration of the Government in the in
terest of no class clique but for the benefit Of united
people.
We are favorable to reforms always and OF
whatever character But we have yet to see
the first reform political organization that had
any reform in it. Their enunciation that they
regard the "changes in our system of govern
ment" ''as accomplished tacts," breathes spirit
of reluctant acquiescence. We fear there is no
heart in the work.
