Death.

LONG BRANCH, Aug. 22.-Thc fol.
lowing has been just received from
the President. ~
~ is with extreme regret that the
resident announces to the people OF
the United States the death of the
Speaker of the House of Representa-.
tlves, the Hon. Michael G. Kerr, Of
analana. A man of great intellect
ual endowments, large culture, great
probity and earnestness in his deyo-
aon to public interests has passed
from position of power and useful
ness, to which he had been recently
called. The body over which he had
been selected to preside not being I'M
session to render its tribute of affec-
ton and respect to the memory of
the deceased, the President invites
the people of the United States to a
solemn recognition of his public and
private worth, and the services of a
pure and eminent character.

Ttfell to the lot Of Abraham S. Hcw-
lit, N. C., Of New York. City, Chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, to defend as well as he
could, the fearful array of damaging
facts hurled against Tilden by Mr..
Kasson of this State.
Among other things, Kasson charg-
ed that Tilden refused to sign the
call for the great Cooper Institute
meeting in New York, directly after
the opening Il the war. We have
Mr.. Hewitt's speech before lis and
this is his answer to this charge.
"Mr. Samuel Sloan, then member
of the Union safety committee, of
New York, applied to Mr.. Tilden at
a time when he was engaged in the
trial of q case TO affix his name to the
call, and his reply was: Il am very
busy just now, send me the resOlu-
ti0ns after the trial of this case, and
if they are entirely proper l will
sign the CALL"
This answer discloses at once the
sympathies and characteristics of the
man.
The nation was in the premonitory
throes Of great rebellion. Nation
al integrity, Republican institutions,
life, liberty and honor were involved
in the issue. Loyal men, without
respect to party, were rapidly circu-
lating the call for a great meeting al
the commercial center to strengthen
the hands of Abraham Lincoln, and
to encourage the enlistment of troops
to resist and overthrow the Demo.
cratic pro-slavery conspiracy. sa
That was no time for hesitation
A loyal man in New York or tOttum
wa then, with patriotic heart, ani
with red blood in his veins, woult
have signed that call without taking
time to carefully analyze the verdi
age of its resolutions. Not SO will
Samuel j. Tilden. He was busy will
alaw suit. He really hadn't time
just then, to bring to bear his gimle
eyes on the document, to see whethe
there wasn't a niger hid somewher
in the wood-pile. Really he must b
excused just them Bring the cal
around agsin and will read it owe
and if the 'si''s are all dotted and tn
sst''s all crossed and there is nothin,
in it against the resolutions of IS
and if they agree with the multipli
cation table and the Ten Command
ments, why then / will consider il
In the meantime, the meeting of on
hundred thousand people was hell
before Tildcn found time from hi
lawsuit to sign the call.
We have heard story of felloy
in New York, who was found quiet
ly sitting on his door steps while hi
neighbor's house was burning dOwI
When he was expostulated with b
one q the firemen for not lending
helping hand, he replied: "Wh
should help, don't know that fel
low, I have never been introduce

That chap must have. been Samue
& j. Tilden.

Speaker Kerr probably died of con-
sumption of the bowels. He was the
first Speaker of the House who has
died in Office. The only offices he
ever held before going to Congress,
were, member of the Legislature and
Reporter of the Supreme Court OF
Indiana. He represented the New
Albany district, which is overwhelm-
ingly democratic and was serving his
third term, having been elected first
over Gen. W.. @. Gresham, in 1864.
Godlove S. Ortiz, having beaten him
once in the mean time for Congress
man at large in 1870.
He was in his fiftieth year, having
been born in 1897, at Titusville, Penn
sylvania.
He leaves o wife apparently much
older tban he was, and a son OF
twenty. He is understood to have
left them but little property. j.
He died outside of the pale of the
church and entertained no well es-
tablished religious views. His repu-
tation for integrity was never assail-
ed except incidentally by Demo
cratic investigating committee last
winter. He was man of first class
ability and one that his party in Indi
ana can lily afford to lose.
