DEATH OF SENATOR GAPERTON.

The Hon. Allen T.. Caperton, one of the
United States Senators from West Virginia,
died at his lodgings in Washington city last
evening, after a brief illness. Mr.. Caperton
was a native of Union, Monroe county, Va,
and was about sixty>iive years of age. lie
was the son of a former member of Congress,
and at an early age engaged in politics, being
elected by the wings to the Virginia Legisia-
ture, in which he served for several sessions
with credit to himself and advantage to the
isolated section which he represented. Mr..
Caperton was a member of the Virginia State
Convention of 1861, where he was recognized
az a conservative Union man, but when the
ordinance of secession was passed he cast his
fortunes with those oFhis State. During the
war he was elected a member of the Confed>
crate States Senate, where he served until its
close. After the way he returned to his home
in Monroe county, included in that part of
Virginia which in the meantime had been
made one of the counties Of the new State of
West Virginia. Being from his political
course in connection with the war under the
ban of the party in power at that time, Mr..
Caperton disappeared from public view, from
which he did not emerge until a year or so
ago, when without candidacy or solicitation
he was elected to a seat in the United States
Senate to succeed Arthur l. Borcman, repub-
lican. Mr. Caperton was a gentleman of fine
culture, high character, and decidedly con-
servative in his views His death is a loss to
the body of which he was = member, and to
The State of which he was a faithful and in.
teligent representative.-BaHimore Sun, IN

KEARNEYsvILLE,. W. Va, July %, rs.
Mr.. Editor There appeared in the issue
of your paper of June 9th, an article under
the head of 1.-The Charleston Nominees"
which l thought reflected somewhat on some
of the gentlemen nominated at the Charles
ton Convention, and certainly not calculated
to do them much good. I replied to that ar
ticle in 't7he Spirit Of Jcf:rsou," over the
signature of democrat" 1t was answered
in the next issue of the esprit" by "Rienzi,"
to which | replied agAiu as best l knew how.
(tAking into consideration the amount of brains
l had to contend with, J and in the same issue,
Dir. j. NJ. Mason wrote a card over the sigma
ture of "'Rienzi," in which he ssid he had
shot in the dark, thinking perhaps it was
some prominent, influential politician, but
since learned | was a young man near Kear-
noysville, not worth his while to notice, and
that had no record one way or the other,
except | wanted . clcrkship at Washington.
&c, &c.
Now sir, as I have said, I answered the
article, not for any personal motive, only for
the kind recollection l have for the high
standing OF the gentlemen named on the State
ticket, and being personally acquainted with
nearly all of them. l felt : privilege TO reply
to it. For this reason I thought the article
came with decided bad grace, whom written
by one rho a&pired 10 q nomination on the
same ticket.
If should try for a clcrkship st Washing
ton, and some of my friends and JeHoO op-
phicaMts should be more fortunate than myself
in securing a position at the National Capital,
[ should be very sorry to say or Vrite amp
thing to their dctriment. from the fact that
they s"ccceHcd and dill not. l write this
to explain the position have taken in tho
matter, not that I wasn't any newspaper fight
with Mr. Mason. know the cu1cs and re-
sponsGfHtics resting upon the gentleman of
running the coW":y, and in fact the State pol
itics which might possibly get him something
at Washington.
