GENERAL EDWARD s. BRAGG, Representa-
tive from the Fond du Lac District of Wis
consin, was called home last Sunday by a
dispatch announcing the death, of heart dis
ease, of his oldest son, who had within few
months attained his majority. Tho young
man graduated last year from the Chester (Pa.)
Military Institute, and was about entering life
in earnest with the full vigor Of carly man
hood TO sustain his efforts, when he was 50
mcrcilessly stricken down by the Grim Reaper,
Like his father, he had natural aptitude for
military affairs, and possessed many other
qualities that cndcared him to his friends as
well as gave promise of a bright future. The
General in his bereavement receives the heart
felt coincidence of large circle of friends and
aCquaintances.

specify for what it WIS appropriated. Aud

SENATOR SPENC Err gained another victory
over the Administration yesterday by Sc
curing the rejection of the nomination of
Ex-Governor PARSONS to be Dissatisfaction
ney ior the Northern district of Alabama.
Especial significance attaches TO this result
because of the fact that the Democratic
Senators, except three, sustained the NOM
nation, either by their votes or their
absence from the chamber, while only
two of the sO-callcd Administration Sena-
tors-NIcssrs BURNSIDE and MATTHEWS
voted aye. The natural conclusion to be
drawn from this is that Mr.. srEN, III has
gained the respect and confidence Of his as
sociates despite the assaults that have been
made upon him by the Opposition.

what the Republicans Of that State can do

errors in that State by securing Republican
supremacy, and thus aid in rcsrning the
country from Democratic domination. The

which an officer of an insolvent corporation
bought up considerable number of claims

prove them against the company in bank

their full face value. The United States Dis
trict Court at st. Louis has very properly re-
fused TO allow this. The officer lisa trustee,

of the most intense and illiberal character.
This is certainly bold step against the free
institutions Of country whers freedom of
thought, action, and education are guaran-
teed to all religious sects and denomina-
tons alike. II is not in the interests Of
our own beloved institutions and the COM
mon welfare Of the country to grant special
privileges to the Jcsuits. Even in Europe
there is great distrust Of such privileges,
and on the part of Catholics themselves,
perhaps, more decidedly and strongly than
with the Protestants. This is an indiscreet
reaching after power in this country, and
an unfortunate step toward its attainment.
