Gideon j. Pillow died on Tuesday
morning at his home near the mouth of
the st. Francis River. The despatch,
which comes from Helena, Ark, says
that the cause of death WAS congestion
of the brain. 1t would have been better
for Gen. Pillows fame if he had died
thirty years ago. When the Mexican
war broke out, he was 40 years old.
He had been practising law and politics
in his native Tennessee ever since his
graduation from Nashville University
in 1897. He had been member of the
Baltimore Convention of 1874, and had
had large hand in the nomination of
James X. Polk for the Presidency.
Naturally he had no difficulty In obtain
ing commission az Brigadier, General
OF volunteers. lie was present at the
siege Of Vera Cruz, commanded the
right wing at Cerro GUrdo, where
lucky wound madeh him Major General,
and took part in the battle Of CLurobus,
co, the stOrming Of Chaputepec, and
the action of MOlinO del Rey. After
the fighting was over Gen. Scott sent
him before court, martial for disobedi-
ence of orders, but he was acquitted.
lie went back to Tennessee and bis law
books. The rebellion broke out, and
Pillow drew his sword against the liag
under which he had fought. He cOm>
manded the Confederates at Belmont,
and was second in command at Fort
DonelsOn. When il became plain that
the fort would hot hold out, he follow
ed Floyd's example and decamped,
leaving Buckner to make the surrender.
He was relieved from duty by the Con-
federate authorities, and, though he
ailerward got back into the army, was
never again trusted with au independ-
ent command, lie celebrated his 72d
birthday last June.

Late returns of the Western elections
sum up the result as follows: In Ohio,
eleven Democrats and nine Republicans are
elected to Congress. Among the Congress
men elected are Garfield and Townsend, by
the Republicans, and Ewing and MacMahon
by the Democrats, In Indiana, five Repub-
lcans, five Democrats and two Nationals
appear to be elected to Congress, one district,
the Ninth, being doubtful. The State Senate
will stand 25 Republicans, "a, Democrats
and l National the House,45 Republicans,
81 Democrats and four Nationals. In Iowa
the Republican majority is estimated at SO,-
900, and all the Congressional districts are
Republican. In West Virginia the Legisla-
ture is largely Democratic, and the Demo-
crats elect the Congressman.

HVAYES.S TITLE,

However varied may be the opinions con-
cerning the validity Of Iayes's title to the
Presidency, there is not a question in the
minds Of either Democrats or Republicans
upon one important point, viz: the unques-
tionable right of DR.. Pierces Family Medi-
cines to the title of the Standard Remedies
Of the age. Listen to the voice ofthe sover-
cign people.

-Greenbackers appear to be scarce in
Constantinople. There seems to be no prac-
tical limit to the amount of currency CHASED
on the wealth ofthe nation" which is GLOW
ing into Constantinople from every side"
and yet the peopls are not happy. The OBJ
lection to the money is the minor one that
it has very little value, and the more there
is of it the less valuable it becomes. There
can, of course, be no parallelism between
the condition of financial affairs in Turkey,
with an inflated currency, and the condition
of affairs We should have here with a simi-
lar blessing" Turkey has been misgoy-
erned despotism for years, while this is the
land of the free, where the people rule. Still,
it seems little odd that unlimited paper
money, which would at once restore prosper
ity here according to Gfeenback fnan-
ciers), does not have approximately the
same effect in Turkey.

--Stroudsburg JeSerSoniam Mr.. Mason
the Greenback candidate for Governor, as
serted in the court house last Saturday even
ing, that the stagnation in general business
matters was owing to unwise legislation by
the Republican party. But the gentleman
did not think it worth while to say any
thing about the much worse business de-
preston existing in England Germany Italy,
France and other European countries. The
same kind of depression exists there that
does here but to greater degree In order
to be logical Mr.. Mason ought to have laid
that to the door of unwise Republican legis-
Luton also. But, perhaps, he thought his
audience would not quite stand SO much
s.utling.

Says the Philadelphia Ledger; secre-
tary Schurz's decision about the opening up
Of Pacific Railroad lands to pre-emption at
the same price as Government lands is like
ly to be before the United States Supreme
Court for speedy settlement, 1t is a matter
Of seemingly equal Importance to intending
settlers and to the railroad companies to
Lave the question at issue determined
promptly by the Court of last resort. If
Secretary Schurz should be sustained, vast
amount of land, valuable on account Of its
proximity to railroads, will be opened up to
actual settlers at merely nominal price; il
j. is not sustained the railroad companies
will obtain clearer title than they now
have to lands heavily mortgaged to pay for
the construction Of the roads.

wDon't Give Up the Ship"

When these words were spoken by our
lamented Lawrence, it must have been sol

not dry eye among them, seeing their com

eventually terminate in Consumption. But,

The Pacific coast, within few weeks
past, has witnessed a succession Of atrocious
crimes First came the murder instigated
by the Public Administrator of Sacrmento
to get the Victims estate into his hands; next
three thieves entered pawnbroker's
shop in Portland, Oregon, in broad daylight,
beating the pawnbroker nearly to death,
and made off with money and jewelry,
killing a boy in their fight soon afterwards
young man in San Francisco attempted to
kill girl scarcely fourteen years old with
whom he was in love; almost simultaneously
q man in the same city, thinking he had
accomplished the murder of his wife, set fire
to his house and committed suicide; finally,
an old resident Of an interior county of Cal
ifornia, after several days of gambling
and dissipation scattered Gtrychnine over
household provisions and in a water bucket,
in the hope of poisoning his wife and son,
killed his daughter of2O years with Ratchet
and then blew out his own miserable brains
with pistol. To these acts are TO be added
the suicides of two prominent San Francis
cans, one a former Tax Collector, and the
other the President of the French Savings
Bank. The papers have discovered that it
is a genuine epidemic of crime,

lost race at the regatta, and then lost his
life in the terrible crash Of doomed cars.
The only explanation of the disaster is given
in two words that have been heard far too
often in this country-"misplaced switch"
1t is barely possible, but not at all probable,
that the mispacement was effected inten-
tional and malcously by evilly disposed
persons, but it is far more likely that the
carelessness or neglect of some employee of
the road led to the accident. There is no
possible excuse for a misplaced switch, as all
railroad men know so there is no reason
why an investigation and distinct verdict
should not be promptly given in this par
ticular case by coroncr's jury.

The election of Senator Voorhees, to
succeed himself seems conceded by both
parties in Indiana. TheDemOcrats claim
one half the votes on joint bollot, aud
OF the four Nationals probably elected
to the Legislature, two at least it is as
serted, ale pledged to vote for Mr..
Voorhees, As the Democratic party is a
unit in support OF the Tall Sycamore of
the Wabash" " by which title Mr.. Voor.
hees has long been pleasantly known
In Indiana, these two votes will secure
his election beyond question. Unless,
indeed, the Nationals should take it
lnto their heads to make use of the bal.

iage than Senator Voorhees, might be

"A dispatch from Sunbury to the Phila-
delphia Record, dated Oct. 5th, says that ex-
Judge Jordan, one of sunbury's most honor
ed citizens, died there on Saturday morning
last, atthe ripe age of eighty-one years. He
had been sick for some time, but his case
was not considered hopeless. He was elect
ed Judge Of the judicial district including
Montour and Northumberland counties in
1852 by the Democratic party, and dealt out
justice for twenty consecutive years, when
he was succeeded by Judge Rockefeller, the
present incumbent. Being very thrifty
man, he amassed fortune Of upwards Of
$4,000.

From Washington comes the news
that the Republican leaders in Penn
sylvania have resolved to change tac-
tics, or rather leaders, in the present
campaign. The Old Man Simon, it
is supposed. will again step to the
front, TO save the shattered wreck of
the once great party from annihll&-
tion, and to perpetuate the dynasty
of the House of Cameron. Simon
must come out of retirement and
Don is to be showed back and out of
sight, for the present. until the par
ty is again entrenched in full power
in Pennsylvania, as they expect to
be, but as they will not be, except by
the blunderS and bungling Of the
Democrats themselves.
Don has made himself obnoxious
by his naughty bearing and overbear-
ing disposition to exercise authority.
The Republican leaders have deter
mined to throw him, and have very
cunningly fixed upon the Old Man
as the proper person to do it. This
arrangement of course makes don
powerleSS to oppose the plot, and he
will find that his exit from the Sem
ate will be as easy but much less
graceful, than his debut.
The Old Man too, will find that
his money and his arts will no long
er avail with the people of Pennsyl-
vania. CamerOniSm is about played
out.

ly qualified alter nate to be authOriZ-
ed to report at the military academy
