Hon. DAVID 3. MELLIsH, Republican
member of Congress from the Ninth Dis
t,ict Of New York, died at the government
insane asylum (which, singular as it may
seem, is not the national capitol in Wash
iuston, on last Saturday afternoon. 1t is
said that his mind became unbalanced on
the financial discussion which has occupied
so much Of the time Of the present Con-
gress. If hat is supposed or believed to
have been the ruling star in the case Of

On the closing day of the State Senate,
Hon. Wm. A. Wallace, one of the abTest
and certainly one Of the most laborious
members Of that body, delivered the fol-
lowing dignifed and brief, but well ex-
pressed address to his colleague, many of
whom had been his fellow Senators for
several years, Hon. James L. Graham, of
Allegheny county, and 3Ir. Wallace having
been first elected twelve years ago, and both
having been reelected at every regular
term since:
Personal friendships and party assecia-
tiOnS Of the strongest character cluster
around the retrospect of my twelve years in
the Pennsylvania Senate.
Coming to this body III the years of my
early manhood, ut an hour in which the
passions of men wer0 turbulent and stormy,
when blood flowed like wafer and the pow
ers Of the people We're stretched to their
utmost tension to furnish the sinews of war,
representing a people whose homes are
amid youg mountains, where the jealousy
Of cncroaChmeuts of power is always found
most intense and where liberty is born and
murturcd and in disaster always finds a ref
u~e with pers oual passions strong and de-
cided-uutamed by the sOberuesS OF years
with political convictions that were and are
a part Of my being, it would be strange in
deed if I were not found occasionally
aroused to the expression of the sentiments
Of my people with fcciug-pOssibly with
bitterness.
As the passions OF men have cooled-as
the days of comparative youth have gIided
into those OF maturer age-as broader and
! trust .ouler views of my duty to my peo-
p!-, to my State and TO myself have come to
mel have, with n zeal tempered with dis
crcgion, sought TO perform my duty as a
Senator. If in all these years l have said
or doue that " hich has wounded any most
sincerely regret il.
The social and personal ties that bind me
to those who hear me are of the deepest and
the purest, the recOlleetions of companion
ship with those who have passed TO their
avocations in the busy world, are grateful
and refreshing, and the memories of those
who have passed from earth are cherished
with tenderness, love and respect.

\ WAsHINGToN dispatch Of Monday last
states that Hon. Henry Wilson, Vice Pres
idont Of the United States, and who comes
from that intensely Loyat State, Massachu-
sctts, appeared on the floor Of the House
OF Representatives at Washington, on the
Wednesday previous, and was busily en-
gagged in urging the passage of the rosolu-
tior coHsuring Secretary Richardson, of
whom he spoke in disparaging and bitter
terms. That Richardson is uttorly incOm-
peteus for the honest ard intelligent dis
charge OF the duties of his high Office is not
denied. Grant says he has the most un-
doubted confidence in his ability and in
tegrity, but, if the dispatch referred to be
true, the Vice President differs very mate
rally with the Second Washington IL

We referred two weeks ago to the writ
sen application Of Gen. Fitz John Porter,
who was the commander of the Fifth
Army Corps at the sccoud battle of Bull
Run, for a rehearing of the conclusion or
verdict of the military court before which
re was tried III 1862, for alleged disobedi-
ence of the orders of Gen. John Pope at
that battle, and on Pope's charges ard
specifications was convicted and dismissed
from the array We have no kind Oh IN
terest III this controversy, except to see
equal and exact justice done to Gen. Por-
ter. OF course we know nothing person
aIly about the difference in 1862 between
him and Gen. Pope, who at that time COM
manded the Army of the Potomac. Por-
ter atfirms that he can now, since the war
is closed, prove that his conviction was un-
just. II he can, why viii not Gen. Grant
allow rehearing of the case. 1t could do
no possible harm to either General Pope or
Fitz John Porter. The Fifth Army Corps
at its recent meeting ill Harrisburg passed
strong resolutions Oh the 5ubjeet, and cent
a memorial to the President in which its
members, who fought under Gen. Porter
and who know him to have been a gallant
soldier and friend of his country, con-
ciude as follows:
'Full inquiry into this matter is due not
only to General Porter, but TO the officers
aud soldiers of his command who have de
served she regard OF their country by faith
fUl ScrTiCc and sacrifices. TreasOnablc dis
affection was also alleged against the army
of the Potomac, ''that many corps of that
army would not fight" The vindication of
General Porter win he the just virdication
Of the Fifth Corps, and Of the army of the
Potomac, and make clear that the battle of
Manassas was fought by corps, and especial
ly by Porters Fifth Corps, on whom the
Hrunt FELL with great hardhOod and devo-
tiOu and severe loss-and that the battle was
lost because OF The superior forces opposed
to us.

ter and Grant, adopted resolution last
Saturday, by 4 vote Of Il to ., declaring

tanned their seats by bribery and corrup-

qaested to investigate the charges to be

Who are ThPxS

The Jackson Co1Tier-Herald publishes
this romantic sketch:
"There are two ladies living in Tennes-
see, one of whom is a resident of this CITY,
the other Of Nashville, about whom there
is quite a romance, although they have
never met, and, persona ", are strangers
to each other. In their girlhOOd they were
both engaged to 4 certain Young gentleman,
though neither was aware of the others en-
gagement. simultaneously they discarded
him to Alliance themselves to another gen.
ueman, who was also discarded by both,
each thinking he was cOgUetting with the
other. One of them finally married a gem
tleman to whom the other lad been en-
gagged before she met either of the gentle
men above referred to. The incident was
related to us by one of the parties a few
evenings since, and is true in every partic-
ular."

that it was the subject Of general admira-
ton.
The concert was, rs predicted, a grand
musical event. A glance at the following
programme, which was carried out with
ecldt, John II. Campbell acting as director,
and Prof. Ernest ZOeller, OrganiSt, will
show the names of several of NashvilleiS
most distinguished singers:

The piece which seemed to produce the
finest effect was the Duet sQuis Est Homo
bv Mrs. Craig and Miss Ada Brown.
Nilsson and Lucca sang this duett recently
in New York and by this notable circlm-
stance its fame is greatly frightened in the
public esteem.
Miss Jennie Curry's solo, Gave Verum'
was much admired.
The closing piece could not be too highly
praised. 1t was received with enthusiasm.

A Card from Henry Macrery.
To the Union and American:


NASHVILLE, Tenn, July /. IST4.-I
am Infinitely bOunden to your paper for its
untiring eXertiOHs to have me declare
myself a candidate for the position of
Criminal Court Clerk. Though apprecia-
ting your kindly interest, You must really
permit me to consult my own wishes in
this regard. | have not offered, nor do [
intend to offer, myself for that position,
nor have l ever authorizedmy name so to be
used by any one in that connection. ThOpe
that IN future you will not bring my name
before the people, unless authorized so to do.
Very respectfully, HENY MACRERY.
The trouble with Mr.. Macrery is that he
entirely misapprehends the province of a
newspaper in such cases. His name has
certainly been used quite freely bv the
sla.e-makeTS in connection with tie mon
grel ticket which was finally cOncocted last
night, and TO that extent il became public
property. Again, it has been reported By
ms friends for some days past, that be in
ended.annOuncing himself as an indepeu-
dent candidate for the office named. II is
not our concern whether he authorizes sucb
a statement or not. We publish the fact
as matter of news. The UNION AND
AMEMICAN has nose for news, and when
1t happens to get hold of good thing new
er waits to be authorized TO lay il before
the public"
