BLANToN DUNcAN.-The Louisville, Ky,
correspondent of the New York Herald has fur.
nished that paper with the following sketch of
the leader of the 'Straight-out" Democracy
Col. Duncan is little over six feet high in
his slippers is somewhat staggering in his gait
and wears his clothes loose and comfortable.
He is portly blonde, with clever face, and is
just turning his first half century. His fore
head is high and his face physiognomically fine,
rather large blush gray eyes, well.set Roman
nose that is neither large nor small, a wel-cut
mouth and full beard that does not look full
because it is naturally light and sparse and is
studded with gray and is not worn long. His
general appearance lacks little of being i'm
posing and his talk is free, decided and self:
confident. He is inexhorable with those who
differ with him in matters of mere opinion, and
states his own opinions for facts. In physical
energy he has few superiers, and once thorogh-
ly interested in q cause, as he is in the Bour-
bon movement, he is one of its most ndefati-
gable workers.

| NEW YORK, October 1.-THE Tribune
says of Mr. Stewards death: To-day, as
| the news of his death is telegraphed over
| the world, it is no exaggeratiOn to say that
| in every court and cabinet on earth, the
/ tidings will come with something of a per-
| sOnal shock to the few who govern the
many. In the republics of Spanish
| America, the loss Of a powerful friend
| and patron will be m0urned. The
| statesmen of Europe will recognize
| the demise of almost the only American
| whom they have ever regarded as their
| peer. And in the farthest East, in the
| utterm0st isles of the sea- prayers will be
offered in strange tongues to alien gods for
| the repOse of the aged chieftan whose
white head and broken frame cast such
wonder about his wide journeyings to the
hamlets and the palaces OF India and Nj
ph)n.
The Star says: CATER the death of Presi-
dent Lincoln, it was Stewards faith in hu-
man nature, his confidence that other men
were on the whole as good az he was, which
led him to believe in and support the policy
of Andrew johnson for the immediate res
toratiOn of the South For this he sacri-
feed his position in the Republican party,
and at the election of General Grant, with
out a compliment or civility, left the De.
partment of State, which he had admins
tered during eight years with wisdom.

industry hitherto. unprecedented in our

to see repeated"
Mr. Seward had tertian ague, with ca
tarrhal complication and muscular palsy.
Mr. Stewards intellectual faculties were
clear and vigorous to the last. save when
disturbed by paroXYsms of fever
Just after an efusion from the lungs yes
terday, and thinking it would relieve his
breathing, he was, at his own desire, placed
upon lounge and bolstered up, aud re-
moved from his adjoining bedroom into his
study, where, in the midst of his books and
his literary and other papers. and sur
rounded by relatives and few friends and
all his devoted dependents, he breathed his
last.
For the last hour of his life his powers
of nature were giving way; his condition |
became easy, aud he spent the time in af- !
fectionate. leave-takings of his relatives |
and dependents, and finally sank quietly to |
his last rest as if going to sleep.

Outnumbering by many the Reformers, so
