COL. NJ. W. OLUsKEY.

Close of an Interesting Btfe-Brief
sketch of the Career Of the De-
ceased.
The following tribute to Colonel Nike
Cluskey and sketch of his life appears
in the Courier-Journal of yesterday:
Few careers have opened with greater
promise than did that Of Colonel NJ. W.
Cluskey, who bresthed bis lass yesterday
morning at his home in this city, soon
after having completed his thirty-ninth
year. e
The parents Of the deceased, who were
Of distinguished Irish descent, had emf
grated TO this country aHd settled at
Savannah, in Georgia, in which city M.
W. Cluskey was born. In his fourteenth
year bis father, whose profession was that
Of an architect, removed to Washington,
and took his son, who had, at an early
age, exhibited talent Of rare order, into
bis office. In the national capital, he
became close student OF politics and
public men, and figured in the debating
societies Of the city as no ordinary an
tagonist in polemicsl discussions. In
the Office Of his father, who was extern
siyely employed by the United States
Government and by the corporation Of
Washington, he became acquainted with
many Of the foremost men Of the coun-
try, who were attracted TO him by his
courteous and engaging manners, and
became fascinated with the brilliancy
and versatility Of his intellect.
Among those with whom he became a
fayorite was General Quitman, Of Mis-
sisippi, who frequently employed him as
his private secretary, and ultimately In
duced him 10 relinquisb the profession
Of an architect 10 accept the position Of
clerk Of the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, 70 which he had been ap-
pointed. In 1856 be was chosen Secre-
tary 10 the National Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, while conducting the
Presidential campaign whiehresulted in
the election Of Buchanan and the defeat
Of Fillmore and Fremont. The zeal and
ability which be displayed in the dis.
charge Of the arduous work which de-
yolved upon him were rewarded With the
position Of postmaster Of the House Of
Representatives While filing the last
mentioned Office hecompiled political

continued 70 be regarded as an almost

Inflammation of the delicate lining Of
the tubes through which the air we
breathe is distributed to the lungs.
This obstruction produces pain and sore
ness, hoarseness, cough, difficulty of
breathing, hectic fever, and a splitting of
blood, matter or phlegm, finally ex-
hausting the strength of the patient,
and developing very serious disease.
DR.. Jayne's Expectorant seldom fails to
relieve these symptoms by relieving the
lungs Of all obstructing matter, and

years affords the best guaranty of its
merits. Sold everywhere. mw&s

NEw York, January ia report is
current that a movement is on footto con
solidate all the various telegraph eompa-
MES which are rivals of the Western
Union. Inquiries made to-day OF prom
iuent officers of those companies re-
suited in confirming many OF the rumors
circulated BY Mr.. MeCAigo, Superintend-
ept Of the Pacific and Atlantic Tele-
graph Company, who said that the rep
resentatives of the different telegraph
lines in all parts Of the country have
been privately comforting in this city for
several days, and are still in. consuita-
ton. The subject considered is the
union of all lines antagonistic to the
Western Union, under one general man
agement for the purpose Of harmonic
ing such oftheir interests as conflict with
each other, and increasing their facIll-
ties for business where the lines inter
sect A reduction Of rates does not, as
reported, form any part OF the scheme,

been completed, but the plan is gener-
ally regarded with favor by companies
interested. Among those which have
taken an active part are the A. and p,

As soon a. he vas able TO leave the hos

Al Richmond. and was prominent a. a
supporter OF Mr.. Davis administration.
The resolutions Cor the expulsion OF
Governor FoOie were moved by Colonel
Cluskey.
Afser the conclusion Of the war, bis
health being in a very precarions condi'
ton. he spent several months In travel
ing through the South, aud IN visiting
ia friends in Alabama aud Tennessee.
In 1870 he was married 10 the widow OF
the late DR.. William Jacob, OF this city,
and has since then made Louisville his
home. When the Louisville Ledger was
established Colonel Cluskey was called
upon to preside over its editorial depart,
ment. but his feeble health soon caused
him 10 relinQuish the position. I'D 4
The deceased was OF generous, gen
ial disposition, unsel6sh, brave as lion,
and was beloved by multitude of ar
dent friends. The responsible positions
which he was called upon 20 tll at an
early age are sufficient evidence OF his
great natural abilities. II was re-
marked yesterday, by one who has
known HIM long and wei, that he never
occupied position that he did not fill
with the utmost credit
The father OF Colonel Cluskey, who
was also possessed ofuneommon ability,
but was of a somewhat eccentric disPo-
sition, died about a year and q half ago
in Georgia, to which State he had gone
to superintend the construction OF light,
houses for the United States. Several
sisters of the deceased reside in Wash

II has been suggested IN the House OF
Representatives TO have but one session
a day, beginning at nine am. and clos
ing at two pm. That arrangement
would allow the committees, who have
the real hard work to do, ample time IN
the afternoon, to go over the business
introduced during the day, and would
cut off tedious and unnecessary discus
sions. But happily there seems to be no
disposition thus far on the part of any
one to indulge in prolonged oratory. SO
much the better.
