THE FATAL ILLNESS.
Saturday after the Convention Mr. Daniel,
worn out with the excitement and anxiety
NJ tbe Convention, went back to his work
~ Attorney-Gene He found that the
Auditor had pressing need OF his services
in connection with the Mo6ett-register liti-
cation. A number OF the registers had
been put I'D in this city. The LII
ouor.DeaIers' Association had obtained
an Injunction from Judge Hughes
restraining their use. Mr.. Daniel had a
consultation with General Fields and Major
GrimsleY as to what course should be pur-
sued. That was his last Official act. lie
walked about q good deal that day In the
sun, and became sick, as he thought, with
diarrhea. Monday he went to bed, never
to recover. Throughout bis illness be SUI.
fered but little. He was in possession OF
his senses yesterday morning when his son
and daughter reached here from the White
SULPHUR, but in the afternoon. when his
other daughter returned, home he was de-
lirious.
THE FUNERAL. a..-
Governor Kemper, desirous of paying all
possible respect to the deceased, called upon
Mr.. r. T. Daniel, Jr., last evening, and re-
ouested that the body of deceased be laid
in state in the Capitol to-day. The family,
however, concluded not to accept the sug-
gcstion, preferring that all things connected
with the obsequieS should be OF private
character.
The funeral will take place this evening
at 5 O'Clock from DR.. Hoge's church. Since
the death of his wife Mr.. Daniel had de-
voted much thought to religion, and with
friends with whom ne was most intimate
frequently conversed on the subject.
There will be meeting OF the bar ut II
NJ. to-day at the Court OF Appeals room
to take action in view Of the death OF Hon.
r. T. Daniel. tr!,
Mr.. Daniel, though he bad spent so much
time in public life, was no electioneerer. No
man had less of the damagogue in him.
With his talents, had he courted the favor
OF the masses, there would have been
scarcely any position beyond his reach. He
was a delightful onrersationalist; could
sing well, and at one time had some pro-
ticiency az dute-player. He was great
reader. He was very fond Of the Georgia
Scenes, and read and reread it, and its pages
were probably the last upon which his eyes
rested.
A friend OF the lamented Tom August
recalls the fact that probably the most elo-
quent tribute paid to the memory OF that
gallant gentleman by the memorial meeting
OF the bar was by Mr.. Daniel. Mr.. Daniel
referred to the exciting contest between
himself and Colonel August for the city
attorneyshipin graceful terms. In closing,
Mr.. Daniel said:
"All that is left us now is to 60 to our
brothers grave and throw into it the flow
ers OF affection and sorrow-lhe immor-
telles OF fond memory-to chant there, in
thought at least, the sad and mournful dirge
in Cymbeline .... >.-
Each lonely scene shall thee restore,
For thee the tear he duly shed;
BE loved TIL life can charm no more.
Aud mourned till PHYS self be dead.

THE LAST CONVENTION.


Mr. Daniel naturally felt some soicitude
as to the action OF the Convention in con-
nection with the attorney-generalship. He
was little afraid that in the making OF COM
binations he would be left out, particularly
as his views in respect to the maintenance
of the plghted faith Of the State were well
known, aud were by no means accepta Bile to
q certain section Of the party. lie there
fore watched the proceedings OF the Con-
Eention with some anxiety. Those having
no immediate interest in the result were al
times aroused to the highest pitch OF excite
ment by the occurrences there, and it is
presumable that he shared in the emotions
OF the hour.
Even after the gubernatoriai question had
been disposed OF, and Lieutenent-GoV-
erzer chosen from the Southwest. thus leaV-
Ing place on the ticket for an eastern man,
it Locked as il there would be some trouble
for him. General Field and Colonel God,
win had been nominated against him, and
it seemed that they would receive consider
able votes. The speech OF Mr.. Dandridge,
OF Winchester, helped Mr.. Daniels chances
4 grest deal. A little later Mr. Bocock
made STIRRING appeal in favor OF MI. Dan
ieL. reeiting his public services and his WORTH
aud soon thereafter Messrs. Field and GOD
win were withdrawn, asd Mr.. Danlei nom
mated unanimously.

COMMENTING upon the apparent
spread Of the spirit of reputation
throughout the Western and Southern
States, leading New York daily very
pertinently observes that the spirit Of
reputation breeds demagogues. The
greater number of men now in public
life who support either the repeal of the
Resumption act or the RECOMMENDATION
of silver do so, not because Of any real
error on their part as to the nature Of
these acts, but because they are court
ing popularity. No one supposes, for
instance that Mr. Tilden and his i'm
mediate supporters at st. Louis last
year really thought that if the Resump-
ton act were repealed it would remove
an obstacle to resumption. On the con-
trary, their advocacy of that absurd
proposition was doubly-dstilled dema-
goguism. They meant to make favor
with the downright rcpudiationists on
the one hand, and to save appearances
with the honest friends of sound cur
rency on the other. But IA people which
surrendcrs itself to leaders who depend
for power on tricks of this kind is
already deeply demoralized. 1t has
already suffered the worst encroach-
ments of the disease which leads to
political decay. An honest people,
which clings to its convictions faithfully
and is guided by common sense, cannot
having once possessed its liberty, lose it.
But people swayed by selfish and dis
honest passions is ready to Lecome the
prey of political swindiers, who begin
by advocating the cheating Of the ma
tons debtors, but who will seize the
first chance to cheat the nation itself
1t is this fact which makes the spread
of the reputation sentiment one of the
gravest perils with which this nation
has ever been threatened.
