from Washington. Mr.. Buffin:on has
been in poor health for some time past, bn'
n fatal termination of his illness wis no
expected so soon. He was first elected tC
Congress in 1850. and served by successive
reflections until the war broke out lie

served some time in the army rs 4 private
In 1867 he WAS appointed collector OF IN
ternal revenue, and, two Years later, wa
elected to Congress again, and thrice re-
elected, .thc last time in November last.
He possessed Il large share of business
capacity and practical good sense, but was
not speciallv eminent either as 4 statesman
or is an orator.
Abiding to the expression of public
feeling elected by the rumor that tho
Beecler trial is to be abandoned, in conSc-
quence of the illness of Il juror, the New
York Tribune says:
The feeling is this: Neither side can
aft nd. under any conceivable cIrcum>tln-
ces. to abandon thisitritlFhort of u verdict.
If "A Juror should die. let them 90 on with
IL. No substantial reason can be given
why the verdict of nine men would MT a
likely he correct as that of twelve. and
the whole country would accep, the action
of whichever side should object To the con
tinuatiun of the trial ly Il diminished jury
IL Il confession of failure or guilt. If
either side should take advantage of the
illness of :, juror, or of any technically.
to seek t. abandon the trial. the Whole
country would then be able to render 4
verdict without ulll.
