Death of Col. y. He. Baldwin.

1t is our painful duty this week, to record
,ue death of Col. j. B. Baldwin. at his resi-
t:ouce in this city, Tuesday evening, at 9as
o'sock. He had been suffering from pain
.ul disease for years. but it was only whiting
$40 past three or four aaonths, that its devel-s
npments began to cause alarm to himself ands
siends. About -Four months ago suadees
suspension of circulation in part of his HANDY
gas experienced, which caused intense pain I
and excited apprehension. He, however, tel
sli appearances, recovered entirely from thes
effects Of this attack, and had resumed actives
business and professional duties. Several
weeks ago, while 10 church, he was againl
suddenly Frustrated by what was at the timeI
regarded as partial paralysis of his arm and
l-g, but vitality soon returned, leaving him
~%lowever, in very weak condition from the
severe shock to his system, From that time
until few days ago, Ills condition had been
.,ch as to inspire alternats hopes and fears.
Finally it became apparent that there must be
..lne agency of relief resorted to, or death
would ensue An eminent surgeon, DR.. Gu
..sy Of New York, who has made structure
i tho urethra specially. for many years:
WAS summoned and arrived here on Monday
last. After careful examination Of the
condition of Col Baldwin, he came to the
conclusion that il was essential to his lite
shat an operation should be performed-tha
-ieath was certain without it, and that thers
sas hope with it. Under these circumstan
ces an operation was determined on, and wa
performed on Tuesday morning about ten O.
ulock, after this, Col Baldwin became easier
add his mind calmer, yet the solicitude o
friends abated none of its painful intensity
At 81 O'Clock, sudden dizziness came over
him; he tainted, and passed from the scenes
Of earth.
The painful intelligence quickly spreac
through the city, causing gloom to sett
upon our citizens rarely witnessed. Col
Baldwin had deep hold upon the esteem
and regard of our people, and the announce
ment of his death, although not entirely IN
expected, was resolved with unaffected sor
row. His loss will be seriously felt and re
GREETED. His position st the bar, in the pub
lie interests and the social circle can not b.
easily filed. He stood in the front Of hi
profession in the State, as o counselor ant
advocate. and was universally conceded t.
be one Of the rstintelects OF Virginia. Hi
stern integrity and exemplary habits addee
force to his mental endoEmeots, and his orig
inal and suggestive method of thought ane
bold spirit gave him prominece and attrac
ted to him an admiration that but few eve
have enjoyed in this community or the State
1t is not our purpose, however, to attemp
an eulogy upon the deceased. We leav
that to some friendly hand more capable o
the melancholy duty, and whose more init
mate relations with hin would better auaif
him to do justice to his memory.
He died in the vigor and meridian of hi
manhood and intellect at the age of s.
years.

Nensper and the Bankrupt Law.

AZ eEs per anna the Bankrupt Law.
Gen. kemper, in his speech last Monday,
illustrated! the workings Of the bankrupt
| law, by citing a case in Richmond where a
imam went into bankruptcy with $4,000 of
aassets, and had to pay out of that sum $500
before he could get his discharge in bank
5ruptcy. Gen. Kemper knows we'll enough
ethat the zaao has its fixed fees-that these
amount to S64, and in the case of a restrain
sing order being necessary, $40 more. He
sknows, if he knows anything about it, that
aall other expenses are matters Of contract
abetween the applicant and his attorney, and
sif some of Kemper's needy legal friends in
sRichmcnd mulcted the applicant in question
sout ct the amount named, it was no fault of
sthe law. It lay somewhere else. Billy Gill
snan, however, explained the matter. Il
awas an item of news furnished to one of the
focal reporters Of the Richmond press. The
Reporter want sensational paragraph,
aand the bankrupt, who we presume, is some
sthing Of wag, gave it to him, and he pub
slished it. That's all of it. Yet Gen. KEN
sper, candidate for the exalted and dignifed
gposition Of Governor of Virginia, had to
astoop to retail this very highly improbable
sstory!
I What do the solid people of Augusta
sthink of this, coming from their "next Gov
aernor,' according to Kemper's bombastic,
ayet entirely apochryphal prediction.

KEMpER, AND HUGHES SALARY,-The
Areckless character of Gen. Kemper's state
sments in his speech last Monday, IN ay b.
Entered from that in connection with Col.
HHughes in his position as U. s. District At
atorney. Kemper stated that Hughes had
Smade $4,000 year out Of the Bankrupt
ssacs, aud hence there was good reason for his
drawing up bill and getting it passed.
a When it is remembered that the act for
(Which Col. Hughes claims credit and te
(which Gen. Kemper referred was only pass
We'd last March, and that Col. Hughes resign,
aed his position of U. s. District Attorney
Abetter than two months ago-only holding
,gahis office four months after the passage Of
Rsthe amended bankrupt act, the truth of KEN
sapcr's assertion may be judged. Further, the
ssSSlaw itself creating the Office Of District At
sastorney limits the maximum amount of the
Salary per annum to $4,000, but at no time
|sduring Col. Hughes occupancy Of it, did il
samount to over 50 500 per annum.
