The Late B. 3. Douglas.

The Hon. BEVERLY B. DOUGLAS, mem
Der of the House of Representatives from
the First district Of Virginia, died at the
National Hotel, Washington, Sunday morn
ing. He was attended during his last illness
by his Oldest daughter and his colleagues
from this State. His remains, accompanied
by Senator JONES OF Florida, and Messrs.
HUN1oN, GooDE, LUTTRELL OF California,
CARLISLE of Kentucky, DUNNELL OF MIN
nesota. HATFIELD OF Illinois, and CLARK
OF Iowa, reached here Sunday night, and
were taken on special train over the York
River railroad to Lester Manor, and thence
to his home in King William, where the
funeral services were performed.
He was born in New Kent, December u,
1922, and graduated at the law school OF
Judge BEVERLY TUCKER, William and Mary
College. in ls43. He was descended from
Scotch family, and at the threshold OF his
career was pronounced by a famous edu-
Gator as the first young man in Virginia at
that day. He was elected to the Constltu-
tional Convention OF 1SSO-'51, and supse-
Guently to the State Senate for Twelve
wears, where, as the contemporary OF
STUART, CoGHILL, CHRISTIAN, THOMAS,
NELSON, FooTE JOHNSON, R1VEs, and
Others, he was regarded as having
no superior IN the body as debater.
In 1860 he was the BRECKENRIDGE presiden-
tial elector, and with Judge CHRISTIAN, now
OF the Court OF Appeals, who was the BELL
elector, made memorable canvass OF the
Fredericksburg district. he entered the
Confederate army as first lieutenant OF the
Lee Rangers, and was afterwards promoted
to the position Of major Of the Fifth cav
airy. He was elected to the Forty.fourth
aud reelected to the Forthwith Congress,
and during his career in the House OF
Representatives he thoroughly ventilated
the Freedmen's Bank swindle, his report on
the subject attracting marked attention IN
aud out Of Congress.
beverly DOUGLAS was not only man
highly gifted by nature, but his education
had been liberal and bis information was
varied and accurate. He was also brave
and generous to fault, and these qualities
during an eventful public career made his
friends adhere to his fortunes with signal
fidelity. Many reader OF the Dispatch,
not only in Virginia but in other States, will
learn with the deepest regret that sold
