At the residence of her brother, Jas.
G.. Spalding. in the 9th election district,
at 10 o'clock, p. m, on Saturday, April
2Sth., SUSAN SPALDING, aged about
a years.
Thus, after a long and painful illness.
has entered into the fullness of eternal
life as pure spirit as has ever been
held prisoner by q tenement of clay!-
ore of whom il can truly be said, she
was n Christian woman!-a warm friend,
a kind neighbor, an affectionate sister
and constant member Of the Holy
Catholic Church! No lip service did
she offer to her Maker, no effort to ap-
pear better than others, and "sincere,
humble and contrite heart" did she
carry to the foot Of the Cross, and there,
with answering faith, laid the burthen
of her sins and frailties. No death
bed repentance was hers, no Offering of
the lees and dress ola wasted life
In her youth, ere her brows were
wrea.hed with the crown of womanhood,
when earth with all its beautiful temp
tations were spread out before her in
panoramic display, teeming with health
and animation, with every prospect Of a
long and happy life, it was then she trust
inglv bowed her young spirit to the com.
mands OF God, and when later she was
stricken by that fell destroyer consump-
aion, she had already ''laid up her treas
ures in Heaven" in the life she had spent
among the sick and suffering. ] have
Witnessed the closing tragedy of life
in many eases but have never yet seen
one where death was met with more
calmncss. She died the death of con-
Iueror, not braced up by any false excite
ment or pride. Calmly, quietl wand cheer
fully, she entered the dark valley of the
shadow ofdeath." Knowing herend was
rapidly approaching, she made her prep
ations to meet the dread enemy of man
as gently and as happily rs if it were
only neighbor she was to visit. There
was no shrinking, no eager longing for
a few more DAYS of life, but sending for
few of her friends day or two before
her death, she gave each some memento
OF affectionate remembrance, retaining
her consciousness to the last. A few
moments before death, calling her SIS
ter. she asked her to pray, then turning
, and calling her brother. she departed
as calmly as an infant asleep upon its
mothers breast. We cannot grieve for
her. "Sbe is not Dead" bnt has ex.
changed her weak, frail and suffering
body for glori6ed form. She needs
no sculptured monument "to tell her
virtues. her charities" They are craven
in the hearts of those who knew her
and better still, are stamped by the
hands of Omnipotence in eternal letters
on the records of Heaven. Truly, NIGH,
We all from her
Lessons Of wisdom learn which gid The path
| way TO the fomb,
Support the trembling footsteps on death,
| troubled waters,
Strengthen The fading vision to behold undim
The Lights and Shadows of Eternity"

lreply to the House, of which
we spoke in our last letter, is meeting
with public condemnation every where,
and in every quarter our opinion of it
is reiterated 1t is a miserably inso-
lent and staggering message.
We shall have the decision of the
Senate as High Court of Impeachment
in Dir. Belkuap's case next week, and
it is now very generally thought that
the jurisdiction will be sustained. In
the meantime, the Grand Jury have in
dicted him, and we will give him a
chance before our criminal court jus. as
soon as the Senate have done With him.
He will have entertainment enough of
a certain kind before We have done with
him.

Early next week the Judiciary Com
mittee Of the House win begin the in
vestigstion Of Mr.. Blaine s64, 900 trans.
action. Mr.. Rollins viii BE- examined
and also Mr.. Harrison.
\ It is well understood and admitted
upon all sides that Mr.. Blaine cannot
wipe out this little matter by . simple
personal denial. When did Mr.. Blaine
get this money to invest in such stock,
even admitting that he really made a
bona tide investment in the Arkansas
Railroad bonds He was not a man of
any considerable means at that time,
and il he had accumulated little in
the ordinary course of business, would
. prudent man like Mr.. Blaine make
such an investment Then again. Is
it conclusive as to Mr.. Blaine's inno-
cence that certain Presidents and ex.
Presidents of these roads should say
that there is nothing to show, so far as
they know, that Mr.. Blaine had any
improper connections with their com.
panies2 We think not, in fact, we are
far from satisfied ourselves with such
testimony. Let the investigation 60 on
and We will perhaps be able to tell some
thing about it-with Mr.. Blaine's as.
sistance.
We are very sorry to have to record
the fact that Speaker Kerr is really a
sick man. 1t has been thought all the
week that he would be compelled to re-
sign, but the latest advices from him
are more encouraging. Nevertheless, it
must be admitted, that \ return to his
duties will be dangerous, if not fatal, to
hin He cannot stand the constan,

pasa Cen r. C.. Newton is being dc
tended by Jealous friends who state thai
he did no intentional wrong wher
he left the s5s,000 with the Stoddards
for satc,keeping. No one has or can say
that Gen. n, in the matter, was guilty
even of intentional neglect. The loss
was caused by over-confdence on his
part, nothing else. Yet the bondsmen
are liable, and we are assured by high
authority, will be made to pay the
deficit, unless Stoddald pays up as they
should, action having been taken long
since.-[ Helena World
The great aim seems to be, of some OF
Col. Cravens' friends, in this part of the
State, to blaclien and belittle his oppo-
nents in the Congressional race; and by
such means to tear down other asprants
that the claims of their favorite may be
advanced. Not one of those who so per-
sistcntly charge Gen. Newton with being
a detaulter TO the State. believe. for a
moment, That 'thereis word of truth in
the charges they are putting in circula-
ton. These men will repent the course
they have pursued in this canvass in their
attempt to biaeken the character of a
gentleman who isa peer in every respect
of any of them.
While, like other men, he may do
wrong at times, no man can truthiully
charge Robert c. Newton with disrep-
utable act, citherin his political or busi-

ored and respected when his defamers
