Death Of sbe Auditor General ElecS.

New Brighton, Nov. 5-Col. David
Stanton, Auditor General elect OF this
State, died suddenly at his residence, at
this place, at ten minutes past one this
morning. He had been suffering Tor a
,lay or two with herpes in the face,
causing him much pain, and about I
o'clock last evening he injected small
quantity of morphine into bis arm for
the purpose Of quie,iug the pain, which
had become very severe, and by this he
was much relieved. Sleep ensued, from
which his wife found it imp ,ssibc to
arouse him. Drs. jackson, Mckinney,
Winnans and Reed were summoned,
and used every effort to bring about
reaction, but without permanent effect
1t is the opinion CT the physicians that
ia making the injection Of morphine he
pupctnred blood vessel, which, owing
10 the peculiar state of his system,
was the immediate cause Of bis
death. lie was AZ years of age.

The amount of aid to Chicago from
foreign countries is much greater than
could have been anticipated. Indeed,
almost every pait Of the civilized world
seems TO be anxious to do its share for
the relief of the devastated city,
Montreal hoes sent sl02 900 in gold, and
the rest of Canada probably as much
more. From Havana comes contribu-
ton of over $4,000 iu gold The con-
tributions in Great Britain must exceed
one hundred thousand pounds or half
million dollars in gold. Germany, Bel
eium. Switzerland, France and other
countries have all contributed according
TO their means, and it may be fairly esti-
mated that the whole amount given by
foreigners will reach a million of dollars.
This is a handsome return for all that
America has done for foreign countries
that have suffered from fire, war, pesti'
lspcs and famine. = +i''

Postmasters of the smaller offices

an annoyance to the Government. 4
large majority Of then are constantly
iesiguing their positions, becoming dis
satisfied with the emoluments of post
masterships, and, consequently, render

method of preparing the papers for can

VsS1&st52p shown that it does

CHERRY PEcToRAL viii and does relieve and
cure the atliicting disorders OF the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections Of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consump-
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
l!eved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
AS remedy it Is adequate, OF which the public
may rely for full protection. BY curing Coughs,
the iorerunners OF more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount Of suffering
not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep 1t on hand as protection against the early
and unpercetved attack Of Pulmonary Affections,
which ARE easily met at first, but which become
incurabe, and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten
der lungs need this defence; and it is unwisc TO
be without it. AS safeguard 10 children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest Of childhood, CHERRY PEcroRAL
is invaluable for, by its timely use, multi
tudes are rescued from premature graves and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and healtf-restoring sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza aud pain

they can be cured.
Originally the product Of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation. no cost or toll

possible perfection. It may be confidently re-

memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

to take seat at one end. but he persist

From the Lexington Observer and Reporter.
Davis, johnson, Beck.

Attention has been attracted within
the last few weeks TO the utterances OF
kIee eeptlemen. who occupy a conspic
uous position iu the public eye. One OF
these gentlemen was the President of the
Southern Confederacy another was
President of the U. s.; the third has OBJ
reseutative of the Ashland District III
Congress. The utterances of each were
striking and characteristics. Mr.. Davis
who is singuIariy deficient in that use
ful .'talent for silence" for which Lee
and other distinguished leaders have
been go remarkable. seems to be exceed
ingly unhappy, unless he can publicly
re affirm at intervals. the principles oi
the Lost Cause. This were all well
enough, il the re-afhrmation affected no
one but Mr.. Davis himself. He is clear
ly entitled to hold these opinions. Thou
sands in the Southern States entertain
similar views, who, nevertheless. do not
conceive it necessary to proclaim them
from the housetop; thousands still cher
ish the memory of the cause for which
they fought. who. like true soldiers, ac-
cept in good faith the issue of the con
test, and the conditions which it im
posed. This was Gen. Lees view of the
result in its political aspect, aud surely
none car impeaeh either his consistency
or his good sense. Radical malice ma
fling bolts at the unhappy South but the
bolts were not forgeo by the hands OF
Lee.
Mr.. johnson, like Mr. Davis, is a man
of strong natural powers, great combat.
iveness, and exalted self appreciation
but is inferior to the Confederate leader
in that habitual dignity of bearing and
that power of intense mental conceutra
ton. which in the main sre the result oi
scholastic discipline and social culture
The character of his mind is shown il
his speeches-it is restless, powerful
active, but i'll regulated constantly
reariDg and plunging under the stimu
lus of his passions. He il composed o.
the very stuff of which sgitators ar.
made.
The character of Mr.. Beck's mind ant
utterances is in happy contrast with any
thing that is here described. Quite q,
consistent as either Mr.. Davis or Mr.
johnson in his devotion to principle, ht
is superior to both in politicaI judgment
aud in all the talents that are requisite
tor wise administration and popular
leadership This he has repeatedly de
monstrated in a comparatively brief ca
reer. Boldness, 6rmness, good sense
aud tact are illustrated in almost ever,
act of hie -poIiiinsl life. and his raean
speech at Eiizabethtown affords snothei
happy illustration of his capacity t
lead.

In the West the crop of hay will pro.
badly be under rather than over an ave-
rage. In many localities it has bees se-
riously injured by the drought, bat 10
now coming forward 6uely. Barley will
probably be nearly full crop, and as it
is being now harvested. we shall soon
know definitely. Oats and rye, so far as
we are advised, are doing we'll. The
wheat has been greatley injured in many
localities, and it is scarcely probable that
the Winter wheat will come up to the
full average, and yet we think the crop
will be good one. Corn, which has been
through the vicissitudes of bsbyhood, is
now growing finely, and bids to equal the
unprecedentd good crop Of last year, and
If il does. that will insure an abundance
Of fine, fat hogs. Our exchanges say

In endorsing the resolutions there is
no surrender of principles. and we are
inclined to think that the Democracy OF
Kentucky. as well as in every other par,
OF the United States. will, upon reason.
able reflection. fully endorse every one
of these resolutions.
Really there is nothing new in these
resolutions-no departure from Demo
cratic principles. They have been
express. d publicly by prominent Dem
ocrats before Vallandingham, of Ohio,
but if he had been from Southern State,
all would turn right, aud no howl would
have been sent forth from some of our
