following particulars OF the death of a

following particulars OF the death of a
gentleman well known in Columbia:
i "The continuity was shocked early
yesterday aftefn6on BY report that Mr..
r. p Glover, an old and well:known
Citizen of Augusta, had committed sui
cide. The facts, as gathered from the
coroner's inquest, and other sources, nre
as follows: On yesterday, about IL
o'clock, Mr.. Glover returned to his resi-
dence. A few minutes afterwards the
report of pistol was heard by the
servants. About half-past o'clock the
found lying dead upon the floor. the
revolver. It appears that tile deceased
placed the back of chair down on the
rug in front of the Fireplace aud put q
cushion upon it. Then sitting down on
the rug, with his back to the chair, he
placed the muZzle of revolver in his
mouth, the barrel pointing upward, and
fired. The ball passed through the brain
and top of the skull, and struck the
plastering above. Death must have
almost instantly followed the discharge,
aud the body Of the deceased fell buck,
the head resting upon the pillow, which
had been apparently prepared for it be-
forehand. Near tho body was short,
but expressive and touching note, ad-
dressed to his sons. which stated in sub
stance that he had com mitted the deed,
and wished no inquest held upon his
body. The letter was signed, but bore
no date, and had the appearance Of
having been in the pocket of tho de-
ceased for some time. The deceased was
n native of Edgefield, S. c., but has
been resident Of Augusta for number
Of years, being about sixty-four years Of
age He leaves threo sons, two in this
State aud one in Texas, with o con-
siderable family connection in South

PAnry1sM, it may be said, is the bane
Of this country. And especially does
this apply to the partyism of the present
Radical organization OF the country.
With the members OF the party, loyalty
thereto is loyalty to the country. Tobe
q Democrat is to be disloyal. This pro
position is illustrated by the usual spirit
of tie arguments of the Radical leaders.
The question is not what will promote
the country's interest. but what will per-
petaate the sway OF party. Mr.. Ere
linghuysen, of New Jersey, is nominated
for the United States Senate, and, in &C.
knowledging the compliment, he ad-
vances this as a leading proposition: "N
eoiu be my purpose to emdeavor to promote

How much nobler, Senator, to endcavor

this converSation-was attributed
solely to the Emperor's illness. The
Empress herself did not apparently
share the Emperor's IDEAS. At the
farewell family dinner at st. Cloud,
she arranged with the chef de mu-
sique of the Grendiers de la Garde
to play the g Marseillaise as an
agreeable surprise to the Emperor !;
and it was only when she saw the
Emperor turning quite pale that
she stopped the music and burst in
to tears. At the moment she seems
to have recognized the truth. She
gave up the idea of insisting upon
the Emperor's starting in a parade
through Paris, and took him herself
to the railway station Of the Palace
of st. Cloud. Nothing of all this at
tracted the attention either Of the
court or of the people, nor had we
the slightest idea Of it when we saw
the brilliant arrival of the Emperor
at Metz.

The Northern Democracy.
Special to New York Herlad

|
WASHINGTON, Feb. ia prom.
inent feature in the debate on the
army appropriation bill in the
House on Saturday was the propo.
sition of Mr.. Jones, Of Kentucky,
that the Government of the United
States shall pay for and have undis-
puted title to the ground of the na.
tional cemeteries. The object of
Mr.. Jones was to have the Govern
ment pay for the Arlington estate
and such otherproperty in the South
ern States where the Union dead
lie buried. Gen. Stoughton, OF
Michigan, made an argument to
show that the ground used for ma
tional cemeteries belonged to the
United States, first, by right of con
quest, and second, by virtue of that
clause Of the constitution that gives
the right to Congress to make war.
He also quoted from the act of Con
gress of February, 1867, to show
that the Secretary Of War has pow
er to enter upon, purchase and take
any real estate that may in his juds-
ment be necessary for establishing
cemeteries for the burial OF the sol
diers OF the republic. 1t is evident
that Jones was endeavoring to imi-
tate Senator McCreery in exhuming 6
the remains of the Union soldiers.
There was not a Democrat in the
House who sustained him. Mr..
Holman, of Indiana, one of the
ablest Democrats, utterly repudia-
ted the proposition Of Mr.. Jones,
and made /; short, pithy speech
against it. The truth is, that such
men as McCreery, Frank Blair
and Jones, only represent the
extreme fire eating wing of the
Democratic party. This was shown
by the fact that the amendment of
Mr.. Jones was voted down without
division. It is admitted by lead
ing Democrats that the proposition
OF Messrs. McCreery and Jones, and
the speech of Senator Blair
III reply to Senator Morton
the other day, have done more to
injure the Democratic party than
anything that has occurred since
the campaign of 1868. The letters
received by Senator Morton since
the delivery of his speech from
prominent, sensible Democrats in
different parts OF the country, indi-
cate that Blair, McCreery and Jones
are 1Iot regarded as the representa-
tives Of the more intelligentportion of
the Democratic party. Senator Nor
ton himself has more orders for his
speech on the position Of the Democ-
racy in regard to the fifteenth amend
ment and the reconstruction acts
than the printers are able to fill.

There has been few more beautiful poem

Geo. D. Prentice said: Zone might almo

tribute as this would be written to his men
ory."l ..-r
On the bosom cf river,
Where the sun unloosed its CULVER
And the starlight CLEANED forever,
Sailed vessel light and free.
Morning dewdrops hung like mama
On the bright folds of her banner,
And the zephyrs rose to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea.
At her PROV pilot beaming
In the flush of youth stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming
Like an angel from above.
Through his hair the breezes sported,
And as on the wave he floated,
Oft that pilot, angel-throated,
Warbled lays of hope and love.
Through those locks so bIithely flowing
Buds of laurel bloom were blowing,
And bis hands anon were throwing
Music from Tyre of gold
Swiftly down the stream he glided,
Soft the purple wave divided,
And rainbow arch divided
On his canvas snowy fold.
Anxious hearts with fond devotion
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
Prayed that never wild commotion
Midst the elements might rise.
And he seemed some young Apollo,
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the water flags carol
Trembled to his music sighs.
But those purple waves enchanted,
Rolled beside a city haunted
BY an awful spell that daunted
Every conner to the shore.
Night shades rank the air encountered,
And pale marble statues numbered
Where the lotus eaters slumbered.
And woke to life no more.
Then therr rushed with lightning qucknes
Der his face a mortal sickness.
And the dew in fearful thickness
Gathered DER his temple fair.
And there swept dying murmur
Through the lovely Southern summer,
As the beauteons pilot conner
Perished by that city there.
Still rollspn that radiant river,
And the sun unbinds his culver,
And the starlight streams forever
On its bosom as before.
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savanna,
And that pilots lutte drops mama
On the purple waves no more.
