moro than snything,else tho cause Of tho con-
solidatiOn of public feeling in the North in
favor of proscriptivo policy against the par
ticipants in the Rebellion. IL was his evil
counsel and example that tempted the influen-
tial men of the South into the attitude which
aroused the fears of Union men at the
South, and the jealous susceptibilities of their
friends at the North, and resulted in tho
policy which has given the control of the
Southern States for eight years into the hands
of negroes and adyenturers.
We shall not settle in day the vexed qucs-
tion as to whether that repressive legislation
was necessary or justifiable Its results are
certainly not such rs we can congratulate our
selves upon. Mr.. Greeley was the first North
ern man of wide influence who perceived tho
full effect of it, and the first to demand uni
versal amnesty as the logical corollary of i'm
partial suffrage. His nomination at Cincinnati
forced the House of Representatives into n
more liberal measure of amnesty than had
before been attainablc and year after his
death the leading representative of the South
ern LoYasts, the statesman who drafted the
| iron-clad oath which excluded from Office
nearly every reputable man OF Southern birth,
is able to pass through the House OF
| Representatives, by an overwhelming ma
jority, bill to permit the people
of the South to exercise their elective fran
chse in freedom. This action has been too
long DELAYED. Within the last few weeks two
impressive incidents have shown how useless
| and absurd were those Out-of-date precau-
| tions. One was the letter Of Gen. Forrest to
| Gen Sherman, offering TO raise a division OF
cavalry for war with Spain, and Sherman's s
| Endorsement that he would trust Forrest
| tn fight "A well for us as he did against us
The other was word coming from n man
who honorcd us all in his way of dying, Capt.
| Fry of the Vlrginius. While he was lying I'M
der an Illegal sentence of speedy death, when
| he had bade farewell to the world and made
his peace NTH God, this manly rebel still
thought of the country that had conquered
and refused to forgive him, and IN letter to
the President said: "My field of usefulness
- has been abridged by prescription. The car
"pet bag policy is ruinous to the country.
4" Let Louisiana govern herself. Her pros
| perty ia that of the whole country" IL Is
wretchcdly narrow and not altogether honest
policy which has kept men of this sort 50 long
| under the ban of prescription. This one ut
least took noble revenge in doing honor to
| the American name when he died There are
thousands of such, and we do not think they
are any more dangerous to public peace or
morals than Mr.. Casey OF Judge Durcll

DEATH OF john P. HALE.-HoN. JOHN P
HALE, at one time prominent Z. S. Senator
from New Hampshire, and afcerward minis
ter at the Spanish Court, died in Dover, N.
H., Nov. 10Th, aged 81 years. The.death of
Mr.. Hale will recall to many the scenes and
history of the fifteen or twenty years imme-
diately preceding the Southern Rebellion.
Although Mr.. Hale's i'll health and physi-
cal disability since 1869, have Withdrawn
him almost entirely from public life, he will
now be remembered as one of the most prom
inent of that heroic few who, sacrificing
party for principle, threw themselves with a
personal heroism and a disregard of popular
prejudice scarcely ever surpassed, into the
'front.' rank of the movement which had its
final outcome in the overthrow of American
Slavery. We copy from the New York Post
the following sketch of Mr.. Hale's life:
John Parker Hale was born in Rochester,
NewHampshire, in 1906, studied at the Exc
ter Academy, and at the age of twenty-one
years was graduated at Bowdoin College.
The next year he began the study of law, and
was admitted to the bar in 1890, when he
began practice at Dover His business soon
became large, but his interest in politics
kept him alive to public affairs. He was a
thorough democrat, and as such first entered
public life as member of the state legisa-
ture in 1882 Two years afterwards Presi-
dent Jackson appointed him District Attor-
ney, and he held that Office six years.
In 1913 he was elected to the House of
Representatives, and then began his remark
able career as a free-soiler. lie promptly
took the side of emancipation, giving offense
to his party associates, and ex iting an OPP
position SO bitter that he supposed his politi-
cal lie would be limited by one term in Con-
gress. He was not disappointed when, at
the next Congressional election, his party re-
fused to return him. He did not abandon
the fight in his private capacity, however,
and soon gained large support in his state,
He was once more elected to the legislature,
and in 1847 was remarkably complimented
by an election to the United States Senate,
the anti-slavery men of both parties voting
for him. Except during two years after his
were too powerful to allow his return,
he represented New Hampshire in the
Senate until 1865. President Lincoln then
appointed him Minister to Spain, where he
remained until 1869, performing the duties
acceptably.
AG this time Mr.. Hale's health, formerly
so robust, began to fail rapidly, and ever
since his return to New Hampshire be has
been almost constantly sufferer. 1t is sup
posed that his disease arose from the we'll
known National Hotel poisoning" in
Washington. During the last years of his
life be met with several unfortunate acci-
lenls which hastened his death.

of Texas cattle every week, and they now have back

There Is scarcely anything dong at market this

also sell quiet this week.
sheep aud Lambs.-There IS a fresh arrival of
165 head, with something like 90 head over from

There few loads sold that went at firm pri-
ces. l.. Hastings sold one load, average seventy
