Chandler, in Chicago, this morning.;
Resol0ed. That as citizens of the capital of
Illinois and of the Union, we receive the intel
iigence of this sad event with feelings of pro-
found regret and inexpressible sorrow.
Resolved, That We regard senator Chandlers
long public career as one of the most re-
markable in the history of American stateman-
ship. As citizen he was liberal, manly and
patriotic; as public Official he was vigilant
and honest; no taint of corruption ever soiled
his garments; the services which he performed
in behalf of his country during the period of
its greatest trials, entitled him to take rank
among the patriots and heroes of the Republic.
Dying in the midst of his usefulness his men,
ory deserves to stand by that of Abraham Lin
coin, whose friend and compatriot he was, and
to whose measures he gave such brave and ef-
fective support, during the fearful struggle for
the preservation of the Union.
Resolued. That we extend to the family of
Senator Chandler and to the people of the State
of which he was the able, honored and elo-
quent representative our deep and heartfelt
sympathy in the loss which they have sus-
tained in his death, and which we as citizens
OF common country mourn with then.
In an obituary notice of considerable length,
which will appear in the Register tomorrow,
Gov. Palmer says: ''The Register is willing to
believe his errors of action arose from mistake
as to the theory OF our government, and that
his stern opposition to the unity and fraternity
of the people North and South was the result
of honest conviction. In public life Mr.. Chand.
Ter was honest, and was never charged with
using his political position for purpose of pri-
ate gain"
