DEATH or RBVERDY JOHNSON.

! BALTIMORE, Feb. 1O.-This diEtin-
| guished statesman and iurist was found
dead this evening at 8: 10 o'clock in the
grounds surrounding the executive man
sion at Annapolis.
| ANSAPOLIs, MD, Feb. 11.-So sudden
| and unexpected was the death of Rever-
| DIV Johnson, after his appearance in the
State library and about the State House
yesterday, while the Legislature was in
session, apparently in full health, that
the community has not yet recovered
| from the shock. DIR. Lewis H Steiner,
State Senator from Frederick county, a
distinguished physician, and chief in
spector of the sanitary commission in the
army of the Potomac during the late
war, who examined the body shortly af-
/ ter it was found, gives the following as
! his theory of the cause of his death: Mr.
johnson either stumbled over piece of
coal or, being seized with vertigo or in
] cipient symptoms of apoplcIy, and stri-
| wing to save himself, moved towards the
west, staggering along by the northerIy
side of the Executive Mansion. At each
step, his body, gained additional mo-
mentum, so that, having reached the
door leading into the basement, he sway
| ed around to the south and fell, striking
| his head against a sharp corner of tha.
granite base of the course of the house,
] u,
reaching the pavement, made of rough
cobble stones. A second wound was re-
! ceived in front of the first. At this in
slant, probably, 3the bones of the nose
were fractured and one joint of the Sc
cond finger of the right hand was dislo-
Gated. Whether after struggles account
| for the abrasions the knees and fingers
Of the left hand cannot be positively as
serted, although it is probable the
wounds in the scalp were accompanied
with fractures of the external bones of
the Uranium, accompanied with probable
rupture of some of the arteries at the
base. Death must have resulted almost
instantly. Mr.. Gwinn, Attorney gener-
al of the State, and sOn-in-law of Mr.
johnson, is of the opinion that he was
seized with vertigo and fell, as he had a
similar attack, lasting three hours, while
attending the trials in South Carolina,
several years ago.

To the Editor o. Hawkins County Department:
After a long absence from Hawkins

friends. 4 have also been pleased &c
| notice the many evidences Of progress
to be seen all over the county, and es
pecially about the county tOwn-Rog

No place in East Tennessee, or any
where else, is better located for educa
! tional institutions than this steady-going,
| sober old village, and it is a matter OF
much interest to the whole county to
know that the Female College has passed
into thee charge of such an energetic,
capable minister and scholar as Rev. A.
w. Wilson, under whose management
the institution is bound to be a great
success. / was not at all surprised to
hear that already more than one hun
dred girls have been in attendance dur
ing this, the first session, under his man.
agement. That Female College is a
beautiful place, with costly, commodi-
GUS buildings, grounds handsomely laid
of, and everything fitted up in splendid
order for a large fiourishing school.
Nothing remains to be done now but
for the people in East Tennessee, with
daughters to educate, to send them
along to this school. That thcy will do
SO / have no doubt; and next year l
shall be surprised if the catalogue does
not contain the names of more than two
hundred girls. The people of Rogers
vile ought to bestir themselves in the
interest of this school Other towns and
villages arc beginning to look with zeal
GUS eyes upon its progress, and great liz
ducements viii be held out to parents to
send their daughters to their schools.
Every man and women has sore infiu-
ence, ard il all the people in RogersviIIe
will work faithfully and earnestly for
their school the result will be that in
very short time theirs will be the lead
ing Female School in all this section of
country. President Wilson and his en-
terprise have many friends scattered far
and wide over the country. He is a
man of great energy and will always
succeed where success is possible, but
his friends everywhere should come to
the front now, while his enterprise is in
its youth, and give him a hearty lift;
speak word of encouragement to those
who think of sending their daughters to
him; advertise the school by speaking
of its merits and advantages, and do

THE DEMOCRACY# Will REPEAL
THE 1879 RESUMPTION BILL y
WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. - The Presi-
dent has requested Senator Bruce TO call
on him to-day, about the rupture be-
tween himself and the Senator which
eliminated ia the speech in the secret
session of the Senate yesterday.
Messrs. Thurman, Holman, Morrison,
and others, addressed the cause last night.
The result, though not definite, was
satisfactory. The question was referred
to the Committee of Consultation with
out any instruction beyond that intima-
ted by the speakers that negative policy
will not anSwer, that the '70 resumption
bill must be repealed and in its stead
measures adopted looking to future re-
sumption to be brought about by tangi-
BILE and reasonable preliminary process
es The Consultation Committee will
report on Thursday next, to which. day
the caucus at midnight adjourned.
1t is stated that Senator Bruce declines
the invitation of the President for . con-
sultatiOn. There is much excitement
over these matters, and is Is likely that
the invitation TO the interview and its
rejection are among the embellishments
of the event, but Senator Brure undoubt-
edIy denounced President Grant and
carpet-baggers bitterly in yesterdays ex-
ecutive session.
