oud wound was received in front OF
the first. At this instant probably
the bones of his nose were fractured
and one joint of the second finger OF
his right hand was dislocated.
Whether his subsequent struggles
NAV account for the abrasions on
his knees and fingers of the left hand
cannot be positively asserted. The
wounds in the scalp were accom-
panied with fractures of the exter-
nal bones OF the Uranium and base
of the skull, also with the probable
rupture of the arteries at the base,
and death must have resulted In
stantly. Mr.. Gwinne, Attorney
General of the State and son-in-law
of Mr. Johnson, is of the opinion that
he was seized with vertigo and tell.
as he had a similar attack, lasting
three hours, while attending a trial
in South Carolina several years ago.

of damage if it happens through any
neglect or failure to comply with the
provisions of this bill, or through
known defects or imperfections OF

The Democrats in convention
think there will be no difficulty i'll
arranging a financial platform. The
opinion was generally expressed that
it would be mpracticable to resume
specie payments on the first of jan
uary, 1879, as provided by the act of
January 10, 1873, therefore that the
provision should be repealed and
measures be taken for the gradual
resumption of specie payments by
recurring national banks to retain a
percentage of the gold received by
them as interest on bonds deposited
with the Treasurer of the United
States as security for their circu!a-
thug notes, and also requiring the
Secretary to retain certain percen-
tage of gold as part of the sinking
fund for the purchase or payment of
the public debt.
The Scottish Rifle Club has finally

Beecher denies Bowen's charges

which has never but twice before
taken place in the Plymouth Church
lecture-rooms, the clapping of hands,
stamping of feet and men hallooing

A dispatch from Rotterdam says:
To the inquiries made as to the
whereabouts of +. ID. Winslow, the
Boston forger, the American consul
replies that Winslow is not there and

The fact that Senator Bruce de-
nounced President Grant Friday, in
executive session, charging him with
interference with Southern colored
Republicans and with having I'M
Justly taken sides against them in
Mississippi, occasions much COM
ment. 1t is said the President on
hearing of the remark sent for Bruce,
but he will not accept such invita-

DR.. Steiner, who examined the
body of Reverdy Johnson shortly
after it was found, gives the follow

death: Mr.. johnson either stumbled
over piece of coal, or, being seized
with vertigo or incipient symptcm
of apoplexy and striving to save him

ing along by the northerly side of
the executive mansion, at each fstep
his body gaining additional momen-

REvERDY JOHNSON.

The sudden and unexpected death
of Reverdy Johnson was announced
by Fridays dispatches. He was born
in Annapolis, Maryland, May 20,
1906. He received his education in
the town of his birth at st. Johns
College, and pursued his legal studies
with his father, who was chief justice
of the district. He was admitted to
the bar in his 10th year, and two
wears later removed to Baltimore. In
conjunction with Thomas Harris he
reported the decisions of the Mary
land Court Of Appeals, known as the
Harris and johnson Reports" In
his 25th year he was elected State
Senator, also in 1926. In his 40th
year he was elected to the U. S. SEN
ute, and four years later was by Presi-
dent Taylor appointed Attorney Gen
eral. In 1861 he was among the gift
ed spirits who tried to prevent civil
war by pacific means. From 1862 70
1868 he served as u. s. Senator. In
June Of that year, in his 72d year, he
was appointed U. s. Minister to the
Court of st. James. During his long
practice as lawyer he had probably
no living superior, and few equals in
craftsmanship. When the very atmo-
sphere was filled with fraud, he re-
manned pure and above reproach or
contamination. In the nations direst
hours of peril and danger, his loyal
seul never swerved in its allegiance.
Within the compass of his life, sci
ence and liberty made their grandest
strides. The spirit of little water
revolutionized the mechanical world,
and the lightnings of the clouds were
taught to speak the language of man.
Freedom was given to the serf, and
the shackles fell from the slaves OF
his native land; battles were fought
which decided the fates of nations,
and some of the earth's bravest
spirits, men of heaven-born genius,
passed away before his eyes. What
storehouse his brain must have
beeni What memories must have
been garnered there! And yet, in
one short minute, the studies OF a
prolonged life, the wisdom of age and
the genius of mighty brain were but
bit of dust. His life was like q
bright light, but in such human
mould as is seen but once century
1t was Q beacon to the ambitious, as
it showed what labor could accom-.
plish; it was winning flame to the
gifted, as it guided their steps to emf.
nenco. And when the dark clouds
drew near, it did not flicker, grow dim
or lose its brilliancy, but went Out
with the drawing of breath.
'He is gone who seem'd SO great.
Gone: but nothing can bereave him
OF the force he made his own.
But speak NO more Of his renown.
Lay your earthly fancies down
And in the vast cathedral leave him"
