A Dead Hero,

Yesterday afternoons dispatches bring S
int diligence Of the death of Rear Admiral
John A. Wnslow, which sad event occurred
at his residence in 3 )ston Monday after
noon.
In our naval history the dead Admiral will
be known for all time as the man of the
Kearsarge, as the hero of the sea-feht in
which the notorious Alabama went down.
In our galaxy of naval heroes, where Farra-
gut is the bright particular star, John A.
Winslow win ever hold most conspicuous
place. With the exception OF Farragut, be
of all our naval command rs, possessed the
1rmest hold upon The affections aud admirs-
ton OF the American people.
John 4. Winslow was born in North Caro-
lima, Nov o, 1915, and consequently at the
time OF his death was nearly So years of age.
In 1927 he entered as Miishipman that SER
vice, Of which he was afterwards to become
so distinguished an ornament. In 1889 he
received his commission as L eutenant. Dur
ing the Mexican war he was attached to the
Inflated Cumberland, and took part in the
attack on Tobasco. At the outbreak of the
rebellion he held the rank of Commander
and was attached to the Mississippi fotilla.
In 1882 he was commissioned as Captain, land
was, the following year, assigned to the com
mand of the Kearsarge, the vessel with which
bis name was thereafter to be so gloriously
associated. On Sunday, June 10th, 1864, off
Cherbonrg. occurred the only distinctive sea
fight of the war, the memorable action in
whi b the Alabama surrendered to the Kear-
sarge, and which earned fer the gallant COM
mander of the vic 'orious vessel the rank of
Commodore. In 1866 he was placed in com
mand of the Gulf squadron, and shortly after
was commissioned Rear Admiral. During
the last two years of his life, owing 10 con-
tinued illness, he was not in active service.

WHY DEtEAiED.

Wbss one" man is defeated in political
esutest, and smother Of the same party is
elees6d, there is a cause. which in many
instances is uotdshon orable. We find on
comparing votes cast for Assemblymeu,
that Mr. Long only lacked 40 Of receiving
sAmny ~oies as the highest number cast
6rspy:of h;s~9Pponents. Every Legisla-
we candidate On either ticket worked dill
gently throughout the entire campaign, and
ouuwaseed The entire county, except Messrs.
Long and Roueh. Where these gentlemen
are known they are both very popular, but
Mr.. Longs acquaintance in the county, es.
pecially in the upper part. is limited. and
-hsnce his defeat is due only to the fact that
be did not 50 ont and extend bis acquaint-
suce with the paople.
Mr.. Thomas Fairclids, candidate for
Supervisor. most excellent gentleman in
every essential, has, also, throughout tie
campaign manifested so much Indifference
rs to turn the popular tide against him.
We think that Mr.. Fairchilds. though his
opponent. is a. good man, could have easily
been elected bad be taken time to rusl
around GONE in bis district, ad r,us, d

This is what candidates, in justice TO them.

Again, G. Swan Emons defeat was.
We think, owirs TO tie same cause. Mr..
Van Emon is wei acquainted on the divide,
ard thee lie made god II n,l II, elsewhere
bis opponent had the decided advantage.
which would not have been The case had
Ven Emcn taken time 10 canvass. ThA,
al our defeated candidates are most excel
ieos men. (ourrelf perhaps cxcepted) is
positively evident from the one fact above,
II nothing e'se, that at their ZONES. where
they were well acquainted they run fa'
ahead Of their parry vote. Even Mr.. Ap-
plegste, wl,o it is conceded run against IT,,
..mst popular man on the opposite eket,
7ynn At lsis own home g ahead of the head
of biz s;ticket.
Mr.. Brown, though defeated, beat his
opponent so votes at their mutual hom,.
Dutch Flat, where the defeated candidate
for Sheriff got one majority. These facts
are consolation to us, and positive evidence
that our candidates were, and are worthy
men, and in most cases were defeated from
q lack of exertion on their own part.
