Captain George h. WeatherGerd Present

Yesterday Captain Weatherford, an
unassuming, efficient and gentlemanly
officer, who has made multitudes OF
friends since his connection with the
police, was presented by his friends with
a fine riding-mare, saddle and bride.
This mark of appreciation from men OF
social and commercial standing must be
flattering to the feelings of any man, nc
matter how stern or how cynical in dis
position. Captain Weatherford is one
Of those men who never make a fuss noI
make any one unhappy. He does his
duty in quiet, unassuming way, and
rules the men under him with a gentle
force which never seems to be CON
straint. Failing in no point of duty, he
never aims at making an impression by
imposing display, cOyets no notoriety,
and seeks no praise. His friends
maugre all this mOdesty, are numerous,
and daily increasing. All those who
We're not in a condition to participate in

GEN. MEAD'S DEATH.
The Last sickness of the Distin-
guishsd Soldier.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
The death of this tried, true, and
gallant soldier and devoted patriot,
the intelligence Of which will carry
sorrow to every loyal heart through
out the land, took place last evening
at his residence in Delancey place, in
this city. !
Up to Thursday last lie was in the
enjoyment of his usual good health.
On that day he was attacked with
pains in the chest, and was compell-
ed to take to his bed. His physi-
clan, DR.. Neiil. was called in, who
found him suffering from an attack
of pneumonia, the left lung being the
point affected. On Monday the dis
ease showed alarming symptoms,a
the General gradually grew worse
until death put an end to his suffer
ings, about half past 6 o'clock last
evening. When he began to grow
worse, DR.. Neil called In for consul
tation Drs. DaCosta and Gerhard,
but their united skill was of no avail
He was perfectly conscious up to the
time of his dissolution. When he
breathed his last DIR. Gerhard was by
his bedside, and he was surrounded
by the members of his family.

But there was one lesson taught
by the Tuesdays result that applies
to all political parties and TO all po-
litical campaigns. The lesson was
that no political party of power can
be built upon personal political griev
ances. In word that soreheadism
for nothing expresses it better-is
not that kind of party capital which
insures success. The nomination oil
Greeley was brought abort by q
mere handful of sore Republicans
who made their hate of Grant the
motive or their conduct, and who in
the nomination of Greeley only
sought 10 secure at the head ofthe
anyihing-to beat Grant party tue

miserable selfish crowd. The mass
of the people care nothing for indi
viduals or their personal grievances ;
political parties do not exist Tor tic

venge, Those who have been lead

when they>undertake to employ their
influence in the indulgence of mere
personal hates hey lose that influ

Horace Greeley had been selected
by the Democrats as the instrument
of destruction, and having failed OF
his mission, ought, like the man who
had feasted to the point of excess
on hog meat in Kentucky. and was
ashamed TO look 4 shoat in the face
to be ashamed to face an honest man.
Horace had supposed all the time
that the Democrats and Liberals
were going to elect him, but on tLat
point he had found himself very
much like the farmer who started up
the hill with q wagon load of pota-
toes. with the tail end of his wagon
out-when he got 70 the top OF the
hill he found that he had no potatoes
left Horace had turned his back on
the principles he had so long pro
fessed. and started TO the top of the
hill expecting the men who had
fought those principles whole life
time to follow in his wake; but be-
fore he got near the top he found
himself deserted. Cheers. Judge

The Republican triumph loses
everything like personal triumph
over Mr.. Greeley in the dark do
mestic shadow that rests upon his
roof. Ir. Greeley has, within the
last week buried bis wife, and we
see it stated that the pursuer of the
lost steamer Missouri, Mr. Hemp
stead. was the affianced of Miss Ida
Greeley. Under the shadow of such
terrible family Affections, political
victories lose all personal bitterness,
and we must temper our joy by the
heartfelt sympathies that 90 out to-
wards a household thus plunged be-
meath the flood of heart griefs that
make all other disappointments the
mere regret of the moment.-Cleve-
land Heratd tn.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
No man has suffered a. more EN-.
phatic and pointed rebuke, in the re-
cent election than Lyman Trumbull.
He early plunged into the thick of
the Confederate fight. He was par
ticularly bitter and vindictiye upon
President Grant and the Republican
party, and in his general line of ar
gument on the huntings he adopted
the most extreme, ultra views of the
opposition, appearing to take pc
culiar satisfaction in sneering at
events and memories most sacred to
Republican and Uniou Men. He
has been defeated in his State, in his
county, in his town, and in his pre-
cinct. Illinois by $4,000 majority
repudiates him! Cook County, by
10000 majority, repudiates him and
Hyde Park, his own town, by $40
majority, repudlates him!

Boston in Ruins.

An awful national calamity has
befallen the city of Boston. A fire
broke out last Saturday evening in
the very heart of the city, and
spread with such rapidity and fierce
ness that the wealthy commercial
psrt of it was reduced to ashes.
The fire was not brought under con-
troll till Sunday Iatternoon. The
magnificent granite buildings, which
were supposed to be fire proof, with
their millions of contents, were swept
away like chaff before the wind.
The loss is estimated at one hundred
million dollars. This terrible ca
lamity has at once awakened the
sympathy of the nation. and in all
cities the generous, Christian hearts
of the people are contributing and
forwarding such substantial aid as
does honor to the nation. We were
all proud of Boston. 1t was the
literary city of America, and to it
we owe more, for the freedom we
enjoy and the progress the nation
has made in all that is noble, than
to any other on the continent. We
hope that every town will promptly
hold meetings and take measures to
aid, not only in relieving the suffer
ers, but make such contributions as
will enable the victims of the calam.
ity to at once rebuild the city on q
grander scale. Let Upper Sanduslsy
assist.
