decessors, which occurred in Carter county, East
Tennessee, at an early hour this morning. The
solemnity of the occasion which called him to
the Presidency. with the varied nature and
length of his public services, will Cause him to
be long remembered, and occasion mourning for
the death of q distinguished public servant. As
a mark of respect for the memory Of the deceas-
ed, it is ordered that the Executive Mansion and
the several departments of the government at
Washington be draped in mourning until the
close Of the day designated for his funeral, and
that all public business be suspended on that
day. It is further ordered that the War aud
Navy Departments cause suitable honors to be
paid on the occasion to the memory of the illus
trious dead. u: S. GRANT,

Advices from China Of the LIST, and Japan CT
the 18th ultlmo, state that there are indications
of further troubles between China and Kash.
gar, consequent upon a rumored intention on
the part OF the latter to throw off the Chinese
yoke. 1t was admitted that China would be
compelled to extirpate the Formosaus, having
failed to conquer them. The new japanese
deliberative assembly was opened at Yeddo Oh
the 5th of July by the Emperor. The build
ings of the Interior Department, at Yeddo,
we're destroyed by fire on the 4th of July, in
volVipg the loss of a great number of historical
documents of which no copies are extant, to-
gether with the collection of maps upon which
the Surveying Bureau had been engaged for
the past four years. The Russian Commission
ers were expected at Yeddo to arrange for the
transfer of the Island of Seghalien to Russia,
which will be used as a penal colony. In Pc
king and other towns in China there was a dis
position on the part of the Chinese soldiery to
insult the American and English c%onsuls,
which had been promptly checked by the Gov
ernment.

MONDAY, AUGUST

Senator Thurman made his anticipated speech
at Mansfield, Ohio, Saturday night, in support
of the State Democratic ticket, and in expla.
nation of his position 10 respect to the platform
adopted by the Ohio Democratic Convention,
in which be argued to show that the platform of
the Democrats of that State is capable of being
constructed to mean that no more paper money
is needed, and contends that the currency should
consist of gold and silver, and for convenience,
paper, convertible at par into gold and silver,
at will of the holder. He says the truth is that
there is a wide diversity of opinion among peo-
pie of all parties upon this subject. There are
Democratic hard-moDey men and Democratic
paper money men; and Republican hard-money
men, and Republican paper money men; Dem
ocratic resumptionists and Democratic initiation
lists, and Republican resumptioDists and Repub-
lican infationists. The question is not strictly
a party question. Honest men of all parties
may be found on its opposite sides, and so it
has ever been after every great panic by which
the country has been afflicted. mo mar has
frmer convictions on this subject than I have.
l have expressed them time and again. | stand
by them, whatever may be my political fate, but
l do not assume to be infallible, and ruthlessly
condemn men as sincere as | am, who enter
tain a different opinion; much less can | sane.
ton disruption of the Democratic party be-
cause, IN a single State, it has happened that
a Convention chosen to nominate State officers
only-oficers who will have 90 jurisdiction over
the currency question-has upon this one ques-
ton adopted a platform that my judgment does
not approve. have been a Democrat all my
life, and when and where to be a Democrat was
to be politically ostracised. l have chung to the
party in its darkest hours as we'll as 10 its bright
est, with something akin to devotion, because
my head and my heart approved its fundamen-
tai principles. I yet look 10 it as destined to
restore to the Republic constitutional, and hon
est and economical government; to promote
f~raternal feelings between all its parts, and 10
perpetuate free institutions for ages to come;
and l cannot, by act or word of mine, contribute
to its overthrow. | know that it is not infal-
lible, for no party is infallible. / know that it

committed them; but [ also know thatits funda-

A dispatch to the Nashville papers saws

"A dispatch to the Nashville papers says:
Mr.. johnson died of paralysis and heart dis
ease. He had been complaining somewhat of
i'll health during the past month, but felt no Sc
rlous spprehensions. Last Wednesday he took
the morning train to visit his daughter. with
whom Mrs. johnson had been sojourning for
the past SIX weeks. BE rode in 8 hack from
Carriers depot to her re8iG ence, some miles dis.
tant, and seemed in good spirits on his arrival,
and ate q hearty dinner; and after o few minutes
of general conversation retired up stairs and
conVersed with his grand dsughter, Miss Lille
otoYer. While thus engaged his tongue refused
u1tterance, and 10 her great CONSERVATION he fell
from his seat to the floor. Help was instantly
summoned, and almost as soon as raised he ex.
pressed, lndlstlnctly, however, that his right side
was paralyzed. After being taken to a bed.
