Death Of Hon. Gideon weIIes.


HARTFoRp, Conn, Feb. lI.-Ex-
Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles
died here this evening, in the 20 year
Of his age. His death was caused by
carbuncle which made its appear
ance about two weeks ago upon the
back Of his neck and which defied all
efforts TO check its growth, and draw
ing largely upon his strength reduced
him to a point from which he could
not rally. His suffering during most
of the time WAS intense, but was
somewhat mitigated for few of the
last days, and he passed quietly away,
conscious to. the last. He was seventy
five years old on the flrst OF July last.
", Hon. Gideon Welies was born at
Glastonbury, Conn.,, July /, 1902; edu-
Gated at the Episcopal Academy at
Ohelshire and at Norwich University i,
studied law, and became editor aud
proprietor Of the Hsrtford Pine sd lem

candidacy of Gen, jackson for the
presidency, was a member of the Con.
necticut Legislature, l627-85, postmas-
Ter OF Hartford, 1854, State control

an original member of the republican
party, and chairman OF the Connecti-
cut delegation at the Chicago conven-
uon, where he was influential Ia se-
curing the nomination of Mr.. Lincoln
for the presidency; was Secretary of
the Navy through,the administrations
of Lincoln and johnson. Since the

A CLAIM ron DAMAGES Foh THE LOSS
OF A SON NOT sALLoWEL3 BY THE Al
SENATE COMMITTEE.
A singular claim has just been decided
adversely in the Senate military commit
tee. Mrs. Catharine +. Campbell, widow
of Philadelphia, made a claim on Con-
gress for the loss of her son, lad of thir-
teen years, who was accidentally shot
near the depot at Broad street and WASH
ington avenue, Philadelphia, In March,
1855, by asquad of United States soldiers.
A squad Of soldiers were taking to the
depot number Of recruits. One Of them
attempted to desert ON the way to the
depot, and the squad fred upon him. A
shot from one of the muskets entered the
body Of the lad Campbell, and he died
from the effects of the wound. Mrs.
Campbell sets forth the loss Of her sons
society and the support he would have
afforded her had he lived, and asks relief
While the committee unite In sympathy
with the petitioner, they are of the opin-
ion that acts which are rendered necessa-
ry in times of war or disorder are not
open to the same sharp criticism justly
applied to acts of q like nature in times
Of peace and public tranquility. And,
considering the necessity for the firing
which unfortunately resulted in young
Campbell's death, they cannot reach the
conclusion that the government is liable
for damages from that act. The commit
tee, therefore report adversely on the
claim. The report was written by Sena-
tor Don Cameron. ,.I ,--n.tt-

The Returning Board PrOsecu-
f1Ons-Is Secretary Sherman
Mad?

1t Will not astonish the public to learn
that there is much excitement at Wash
ington over the startling course of Secre-
tary Sherman with regard to the convict
ed member of the Louisiana Returning
Board. Several interviews in our Wash
ington reports will give the reader the
opinions entertained on both sides Among
the many extraordinary things in the
politics of the last year and half perhaps
the most extraordinary of all is the atti-
tude in which President Hayes Secretary
OF the Treasury has put himself toward
the prosecution of the members of the
notorious Returning Board in Louisiana.
what greater violation could there be of
oinoai decorum than for high officer of
the federal government to intrude his
oplnon IN criminal trial during its pro-
gress before regularly constituted Judi
cial tribunal in State? BY what law or
what usage or what principle ofpropriety
can the strange course of Secretary Sher-
man be justified? BY what conceivable
warrant can he, mere outsider, a mere
looker-on from distance, assume to de-
eide that legal prosecution in State
court against man charged with a felony
Is an outrage upon justice? How did it
become the business of Secretary Sher-
man any more than it is the business of
any other citizen of the United States
who is not resident of Iouisiana?-
Since when did the administration of
justice in State fall under the supervis-
Ion of federal Cabinet officer and be-
come subject to his review? What law
makes him an appellate tribunal to set
aside the verdict of State jury and re-
verse the judgment of State court?
While the trial of Anderson was in pro-
gress Secretary Sherman, Stanley Mat
thews, Mr.. Garfield and other "vsiting
statesmen" sent him telegram declaring
their belief in his innocence, telling him
that he was 'falsely accused and malic-
iousiy persecuted," rendering him their
"earnest sympathies" and deploring the
"revival of sectional animosities." This
was an unseemly and scandalous proceed.
ing, even on the hypothesis that Ander.
son is innocent. 1t was the expression
of an opinion in advance of the trial and
in ignorance to be presented in court
But as if this gross breach of decorum
were not enough, Mr.. Sherman publicly
denounces the verdict and traduces the
judge after the trial is over. There has

THE COMMISSION TO THE LATIN UNION
we fearis only another trap of the bank
ers and bondholders to attempt to secure
their object through another Congress,
viz; the payment Of the public debt in
gold coin exclusively. We therefore, hope
that this amendment to the Bland Bill
will not be passed by the Senate. We
may be mistaken of course But as
"eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"
and we have SO narrowly escaped being
transferred to the European and domes-
tic bondholders, we would not trust the
gold grabbers, with anything out Of our
sight. ..t.
These people are the financial thimble-
riggers of the day; and remind us forcibly
OF the gentry who display and hide and
hide and display the little ball, that we
hold them in the same attitude. "Now
you see it and now you don't see it," You
bet your money, and it passes from
your hands. Away with political decep,
ton. The men who would teach om
young men that the silver 'dollar of the
daddies" is "dishonest dollar" and thai
the men who adhered to it in the honesty
OF their hearts, are dishonest men, ''fools
and knaves," if you please, must regain
confidence before they deserve to be held
up as teachers worthy of the public trust
of the people.

RIGHT.-H affords us unalloyed plea
sure to publish the brief synopsis of the
speech of HON. ELI SALISBURY in the
Senate yesterday in favor of the Bland
Silver bill. The Senator utters the voice
of Delaware on this question, whether
considered as in unison with his party or
otherwise. The vast majority of the De-
mocratic party from Gov. Cochran down
are IN favor Of the bill, and the majority
of the Republican party are also favora-
BILE TO gold and silver. The single gold
standard has noD political status in Della

Senate will pass the bill and that the
