GaEELEY's PREMoNITIoN OF DEATH
We have no sympathy with fatalism,
and yet we are free to say that Mr.. Gree
ley's destiny was on him and he could
not escape it, There were inward causes
that gnawed their way outward to this
effect. He had premonitions of it not
only IA few weeks but many months ago.
During some idle hours IN BROOKLYN
early in the campaign. he said to us with
a voire of sudden sadnes and tone OF
unwonted pathos: II have but one great
ambition, and that is not the Presidency.
but death" Later in the summer, Cor
perhaps early in the fali) when some
friends were talking with him at mer-
ry supper table. and when one of us
gayly asked chow he enjoyed being
praised by one party and damned by the
other" he simply answered "nothine
would crafty him SO much as to re-
ceive from some celestial messenger all
authorative assurance that he must die
the next morning." About the middle
of October. in Sunday evening con-
versation with him, the same premoni-
tory meditations on death and immor-
tality broke forth from his lips. These
inward cravings for rest, or, as he styled
II, this ambition for death, set him at
war against himself; for though he was
extremely anxious for political success,
and strove with might and main t.
achieve it, and communicated to thu,
general phalanx OF his SUPP orters the
contaglon of his enthusiasm and fair
hopes, yet to some Of his more conf
dental comrades he invariably touched
IN the still hours the same minor and
d1olian chord that murmured of life as
Il failure and CT death as desire. -1heo-

A Year of Disasters.

The year 1872, will be memorable in
history as year of disaster and death.
1t is especially within its latter half that
an unparalleled number Of heartrending
disasters appalled, mankind. The fear
full collision in the Sound, Which sent
the propeller Metis to the bottom of the
waters with over eighty human beings,
had hardly been announced when the
destruction by fire in the Bahamas Chan
mel of the steamship Bienyil!e followed,
with still greater loss of life. The steam
,er Missouri met like fate, and steam
ers, barks, and schooners on the upper
lakes went down with their precious
living freight before gale as furious as
was ever experienced. On the Pacific
we have lot two OF our noble steamers,
the america" and Sacramento. And
now sorrowful tidings reach us from
the north Of Europe. A terrific gale
sweeps the British coast and leaves
death and desolation in its track. The
waters, lasheu by the bowling storm,
breaks into mines and bury the ope-
ra.ives. On the Baltic coast cf Germany
the fury of the hurricane seems to have
glutted itself with human life. A whole
island was submerged by water, and
every inhabitant was drowned. The Ills
toric spot where the heroic Swedish
King Charles XII. loved to tarry iu ru-
raj simplicity has also felt the rough
grip of misfortune; and numerous other
islands and the whole coast line of tina.
part of Germany is bewailing the loss oi
life and of property. Such rapid sue
cessions of tremendous catastrophes,
destructive to human life and the handi
work of IL an in an unexampied degree,
as were crowded together within the l..si
few months of the present year, must
make the stoutest heart quake before
the powers of nature.

was successfully carried out. Before

and moved that the further reading of
the minutes be dispensed with. No OBJ

the journal, and Cameron, who had re-
mained on his feet, exclaimed: II move
that the Senate do now adjourn" Fen
ton, who had meanwhile risen, with his
hand. appealed to Cameron to give way.
that he might introduce his motion to
adjourn over until Thursday, but the
Winnebago war chief refused to yield,
and as motion to adjourn is not de-
batable, the question was put, and car
ried, and the Vice-President pronounced
the Senate adjourned until Wednesday,
at IL o'clock. Fenton and Sumner,
thus outhanked, conid only give their
speeches to the press. They were both
brief, and contained no political al

KILLED By A FALLING PLANK.


A Knoxvillian Killed i'm Nashville.
The Nashville Banner publishes the
following account of the sudden killing
of Mr.. D. G. Porter, formerly clerk OF

A fatal accident occurred in front of
Pigue, Manners, Hall & Co.'S. store in the
Publishing House Block, at half-past four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, from plank
thrown from the cornice by J. A Barthell,
and falling upon the head of and almost
instantly killing David G. Porter. a clerk
in the house of Dismukes & Woolwine.
The body of Porter was taken into the
house of Pigue, Manner, Hall & Co., where
Coroner Everett held an inquest over it,
and the following facts were elected:
About fifteen minutes before the accident,
plank was thrown from the cornice by
one Of the workmen. Porter and two 9TH
er young men observing that it was about
to be thrown over, suggested the propriety
terim Barthell picked up another plank,
that was to be thrown upon the Public
Square, and was about to throw it over,
when he changed his mind saying, 81 will
not throw it now, for fear it might hurt
somebody" With this he laid it down
and didn't take it up again until he felt
satisfied that he might throw it with safe
ty. Calling to negress, who was gather
ing chips on the Square, short distance
from the sidewalk, >, he said, Here, auntie,
do you want a plank?'' and, suiting the
action to the word, he toEsed it over At
that instant Porter, who evidently intend
ed to go back to the house of Dismukes &
Woolwine, passed off the pavement just
in time for the end of the plank to strike
him on top of the head, crushing in his
skull and killing him almost instantly.
Freeman, one of the workmen, here in

anguish: 'sMy God, | have killed mann

proceeding across it to the police station to
give himself up, when he was taken in
charge by an officer. He remarked again
that he would rather have killed himself
than have killed Porter. He was unspeak
ably distressed at the accident.

to secure eligible positions on the banks of
the Thames from which to view the con-
test.--A dense fog prevails this morning,
but it is hoped it win lift before the hour

be victor and the betting is two to one in
their favor. tats s. - ftst -
