reputation for independence by
manly opposition to the Interior

Louisiana affairs. The vacancy
occasioned in the Senate by Mr..
Ferry's death will be temporarily
filed by the appointment of Sen
ator by Governor Ingersoll. of
Connecticut. The name of David
A. Wells naturally suggests itself
in this connection, and there is no
doubt that the appointment Of that
gentleman would give general sat-
isfaction not only in Connecticut,
but throughout the country. Mr..
Wells would be worthy successor
to Mr.. Ferry, and an invaluable
man in the Senate.-Free Press.

A Little Positive Information
Wanted.

The New York Times is not en-
tirely satisfied with the official in
timation that there is no occasion
for anxiety in respect to our Span
ish relations. 1t says:
Nobody seems to know what is
going on at Washington in refer
ence to Spain and Cuba, but that
something is Gin the wind" and
that the members of the Cabinet
decline to give any information as
to what that something is, may be
accepted as facts. The newspaper
correspondents are put off with
statements to the effect that Mr.
Cushing's "note" has been satisfac-
torily met by the Spanish Govern
meet. Very probably-but has no
new de .,and been made since Are
not the ilo2-clads ordered to sea to
be ready for al,v emergency which
the supposed new demand may
create Those are the questions
to which the public would Ike to
have an answer, and we should be
very glad to supply them with
it. So many stories reach us inst
now that little positive informa-
ton from headquarters is one of
the first necessities of the hour.
1t would be awkward to find out
that any strong measure had been
taken without the public-perhaps
without even all the members of
Cabinet-being allowed to know
anything about it.

The New York Tribune says
that the greatest waste Of money
ever heard of has been made by
Senator Logan, of Illinois, who
says he had deposit of $40, 900 in
the Chicago banks when he was
chosen Senator, but that to-day his
bank account is a cipher. He
spent it all in serving his country,
and neither he nor his country has
anything to show for it.

The Late Senator Ferry, Of
Connections.

Senator Ferry, of Connecticut,
who died at Norwalk, Connecticut,
on Sunday, was born at Bethel, in
the same State, August 18th, 1923.
He was elected to the State Senate
in 1855, and again in 1859, and in
the latter year was elected as q
Representative to the Thirty-Sixth
Congress, where he served as a
member of the Committee on Re-
volutionary Claims. He was Col
onel and Brigadier-G General of vol
unteers in the Union army. He
was elected to the United States
Senate to succeed Lafayette r. Fos-
ter, and took his seat March 4th,
1867. Mr.. Ferry at first acted
with the extreme Republicans in
tie Senate, but toward the close of
his term he became distinguished
for his POLITICAL independence, and
he was probably the most liberal
of the Senators who acted with the
Republican party. In 1872 Gen.
eral Hawley received the regular
caucus nomination of the Repub-
lican members Of the Legislative
for the United States Senatorsbip
for the term commencing March 4,
1873. Some of Mr.. Ferry's friends,
bolted General Hawley's
domination and supported Mr..
Ferry. and Mr.. Ferry, receiving
n addition the vote Of the Dem
ocratic members of the Legislature,
was reelected. His term would
not expire until March 8, 1879.
Mr.. Ferry was chairman OF the
Senate Committee on Patents In
The Forty-Third Congress, and al
70 a member Of the Committee on
Private Land Claims. He was an

speech advocating the repeal o.
the fugitive slave law, and the
abolition Of slavery in the district
of Columbia and the territories
He was from that time to the abol
ition 81 slavery, conspicuous and
earnest advocate of its extinction
lie was associated for brief period
with the American party, but on
the adoption Of a pro-slavery plat
form by the national council Of
that party, he Immediately with
drew from it and took an active
part in organizing the Republican
party on the basis Of opposition to
the extension Of slavery. When
in May 1856, Charles Sumner was
assailed by Brooks of South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Wilson made speech in
the senate, denouncing the act a
"brutM and cowardly assault" For
this he was challenged by Brooks,
but declined to accept it, on the
ground that deulling was barbar-
Gus practice which the law of the
country had branded as a crime,
but stated in reply that he was an
advocate of the right Of self-de-
fence in its broadcast sense. In
1859 the Legislature of Massachu-
sets returned him to the senate by
an almost unanimous vote. In 1861
he was made Chairman Of the COM
mittee on military affairs, posi-
ton which the war had made one
of unprecedented labor and re-
sponsibility. How well he filled
the place is illustrated by a state
ment made by Secretary Stanton,
then in the war department, that
"no man in the whole country did
more than Mr.. Wilson, to aid the
war department in preparing the
mighty army for the field" In the
senate, in 1862, Mr.. Wilson intro
duced the bill abolishing slavery in
the district of Columbia, and also
the measure for abolishing the
"black CODE" He continued a
prominent member of the senate
until his election as vice president
in 1872.
With the abolition Of slavery
the close of the rebellion, the hos
tility of Mr.. Wilson to the south
ceased, and from that time no man
was more earnest or outspoken in
behalf of peace and reconciliation
than he. Indeed, his denunciation
Of the arbitrary and unconstitu-
tional acts Of the Republican party |
toward the south, brought him into
bad odor, and he was stigmatized
as the man who "talked too much"
II he was jealous and unflinching
in his opposition to what he be-
lieved was wrong, with the accom-
plishment of the object sought his
hostility ceased.
1t can be truthfully said of Mr..
Wilson that he was CONSTANT
throughout his whole public career
and that while he contended for a
principle he cherished no antipathy
toward any section or people, and
with the triumph Of that principle
he became the steadfast friend.
For some time he has been in i'll
health, and on the 10th inst. he was
seized with a sudden and severe
illness, which for the time being
caused considerable apprehension,
out he gradually recovered and
vas considered in a fair way for
recovery up to the moment Of his
