Davis, of Illinois, presented petition
Of 400 bankers and business men of Chicago
in favor of retaining gold as a single
standard value, and against the repeal Of
the specie resumption act. He spoke of
the high standing Of the signers of the
petition, but said in his opinion their views
were entertained only by very small per
centage of the population of that city. He
also presented the proceedings of the meet
ing held at Bloomington, ILL.,, his place of
residence, in favor of reconciliation. In
presenting them he said be had no agency

obsolete when the existing loans Of the l.
S. were authorized; that gold coin had
| been the only lawful coin and that congress

expense of its creditors; that it was the

Death oE". W, Tweed.

Tweed, the millionair thief of New
York, died in Ludlow street Jail, in
that city, on the morning of the 18th
inst, unmatched and unattended by
friends or relatives. He was the big
gest thief the world ever knew, and had
robbed New York of several millions of
dollars. He vas taken from his pal
atial and luxuriant home, by the strong
arm of law, and consigned to a dirty
and loathsome prison to die in disgrace.
A telegram of the 18th inst. gives the
following particulars:
All hope of his recovery was abandon
ed soon after IL o'clock, when DR.. Car
nochan announced a clogging of the
heart and complete nervous exhaustion.
at the time of his death there was no
struggle, as he passed away in sleep,
with his head lying on his arm. Keep
er Herman was hurrledly summoned
three minutes before noon, the signal
rang ont, and the old mar dropped
back dead in his bed. His last words
to DR.. Carnocban were, II have tried
to do some good; if l have not had good
luck L am not afraid to die. 1 believe
the guardian angels will protect me-"
The announcement of his death spread
rapidly, and Il crowd of curious people
soon assembled outside the Jail, peer
ing very eagerly into the halfsclosed
windows. Tweed had been dangerous
ly i'll for several days. His death re-
suited from a complication of disorders,
but was caused directly by nervous ex>
haustion and a clogging of the action of
the heart. He was delirious last right
and early this morning, when he was
attended only by his servant, Luke.
He was conscious until within a few
moments of his death. Most of Tweed's
family are in New Orleans, and were
telegraphed to yesterday. Under the
statutes the body of the dead prisoner
cannot be removed from the Jail until
after an examination by the Coroner.

We call attention to the law defining
the duties of the Assessor. As the
common school fund is divided pro rata
among the counties of the State, upon
the basis of the educable children OF
each county, it is to the interest of each
county that every child in it should be
assessed and put upon the school roll.
A correspondent of the Macon Beacon
suggests that there are a great many
such children belonging to nen who
are over age, and TO widows, who, paying
no taxes, no doubt do snot realize the
importance of having their children
enrolled. Under the late'Act, it is the
duty of the Assessor to visit each tax
payer at his home, and it is greatly to
the interest of the whole county that
every child should he enrolled. There
fore every citizen ought to have them
reported where they arc liable to be
overlooked by the Assessor.
