ers During the night and morning

of Lebanon, Gen. Ward, Judge Haynes
and many others. Gov. McBurncy, was
constantly at his room, contributing in
every way to the dying man. The niece
of Mr. Nallandigham, young girl, who
resided with him, arrived from Dayton
after his death, and was greatly grieved
The body was Immediately placed ir
ice, preparatory to Its removal. From
this time until the departure Of the re
mains, the hotel was besieged with per
sons who came to see the face which was
left exposed. The features and expression
were admirably preserved. The remains
left Lebanon for Dayton at o'clock, p.
NJ, in charge of Judge Haynes, Mr., VS.
law partner, and Judge McBurnCy, of
Dayton.
The sad feature OF the case was the alb.
sencGot Mrs. ", who had gone the same
evening to Cumberland, called thence by
the death other brother, Judge McMahon
She was telegraphed, and will reach Day
ton tomorrow morning ut ten o'clock
The sad event cast a general gloom
over Lebanon. MIR. V. during the tria'
had made numerous friends, and had by
his department beaten down many preju
dices, All were looking forward to his
speech in the defense Of Mcclellan, which
would have been delivered to-day. Mr.
V. doubtless had made unusual prepara
tiOns. lie intended the effort TO be hi!
great criminal one at the bar. He appear
cd TO have thoroughly worked up the
case. lie entered into 1t with characters
tic energy md enthusiasm, and fell while

day, in which Mr.. V. said; "There Can
he no more politicaiCampaigns fought on
tho issues OF the last few years. They
are dead, and IL the Democratic party re-.
fuses to move to the front to accept the
new order Of things, 1t will simply pass
away and some other party made up oi
the earnest progressive elements Of both
the old parties, and will take possession
of the Government" When asked II he
did not think the campaign Of ~ would
be fought on the present issues, he said;
"That may bc undertaken by our party
but 1t will fail. A year ago Grant gave
promise Of intention TO lead the Republi.
can party into new departure and he
would have done II, but n gang of old
politicians at Washington held him back
and scared him with their gabble about
defeat, until he went square back into the
old nets. Grant Is an honest man and
would do right II the politicians would let
him, but that they won't do. lie took
the baCk.track on the San Domingo ques.
tion, in which apart from the corrupt
means used, he was clearly right. | tell
you sir the annexation Of the Territory
and the control of all the out laying irag
ments OF this continent, is the destiny 81
the American people. Weshall have Sar
Domingo, Cuba, Mexico and all the rest
mark that. We missed the greatest chance
we ever had in not getting Cuba during
the Spanish troubles. We could have haC
1t then for the mere asking, and in ioW
years we would have been owners Of tht
richest and most productive piece of thu
territory in the world"
"Why, they used to talk about me, and
called me disunionist. | tell you, Sir
earnestly and honestly, that never wal
n dlsunionist; that | always did believe
and now believe, that this Union will bt
perpetuated and extended until It embrA'
cGs the continent"
His denial of disuniOn views Mr.. Val
landigham thrice repeated, with marked
emphasis. In reply to remark of his
interrogator, he said that he did not sec
how, with the hatred exhibited toward
him by the dead issues ofthe Democracy
he could stay in that party. lie smiled
and said:
"Why, what can do? The Republi
can party wont move forward; It wants
to stick TO It's old clothes; and my lasl
hope is to get the Democracy to the front
However, there Is no telling what 3Gr
days may bring forth; and OF ono thing
AM certain If the Democratic party fails
to become the party of progress and nd
vanced ideas, and | from conscientious
convictions decide to act with any other
political party, TINT other political party
will never stop to inquire what my past
political record has, been; parties don't
manage things in that way"
The interviewer says: "TlOse whC
read may COnstrue this expression as they
plcasc write II almost verbatim as he
spoke II to me. The speakers earnest
manner convinced me that he meant all
that he sNid. The same statement wns
subsequently repeated in various forms
during our conversation, which LASTED
altogether for fully half an hour"
1t Is expected that the argument in thu
Mcclellan case will he resumed on Mon
day.
