RoBERr w. MAoKEY died at his resi-.
dence in PhiIadelphia. on the:hrst day Of
the new year, in the 42d year Of his age.
lie was a native of Pi rsburgh, aud until
his election iB 1869 by a 5epublican Legis-
lature to the office of State Treasurer, vas
not knO~n as poll joian outside of AIlegh-
euy county His election as Treasurer was
a surprise to leading Republicans through
out the STATE, and was attributed at the
time 10 the two Camerous, father and son,
which, if true, was notably wise exercise
of their power, for they are to-day the po
Ii,ical debtors Of Robert W Tackey to an
extent which, had he lived, they could
never repay. lie WAS a remarkable mau,
aud The first effort he made TO control The
State Legislature just after his election,
but before he had entered rPon the duties
of Il is office, although nnwise III it's purpose,
marked him a man OF unusual boldness
aud daring. He WIS by far the shre WIDEST
aud ablesl Republican leader in the State,
and welded an Influence over his party,
which ha, never been possessed by any
other man. not even by Simon Cameron
himself. With him the end he aimed at
always justified the means secure it, and
when he set his mind upon the accomplish
rnent of a cei tain purpose, he never falter-
ed or lost sight Of ia. II it was sppropri-
ate hers, which it is not, we could tale
unfold, showing how, in 1871, he procured
toe election from this county of a Repubh
can to the lower branch of the Legislature,
a successful experiment which he after
wards said he regretted, inasmuch as it
failed to accomplish the object he had in
view. For nine years he made and unmade
Republican candidates for State offices, aud
moulded State conventions at his pleasure.
To him Blaine owes his defeat for The
Presidency by The Cincinnati Republican
National convention He went 20 Florida
after the Presidential election In 1876 and
manipulated the counting Of the vote of
that State, as is generally conceded, in
favor of Hayes. How lie did it, we neither
know, nor say, bu. we ." know. as others
know, that the vote of the State was for
sale, aud that through Mackey's manage
meut Hayes got it. If he was an unScru-
pulous and a dangerous politician, he had
Ais bright side. just as every daIk cloud
has It's silver lining. We have it from a
prominent Democrat, who was ON intimate
terms with Mr. Mackey, Il at he was most
generous and liberal mau-was always
ready TO assist deserving friend in 0hom
he had confidence, even though hc WIS not
of his political school, and that in all his
business relations he Has strictly upright
aud honest. No other Republican in the
State can fl bis place as a sagacious lead
or, and in his death the strongest prop and
support of the house OF Cameron has been
taken AWAY.

GEN. GRANT in his travels on the CONT
Cent # Europe, having listened with delight
to "she sweet German accent" has gone
from Paris to Ireland to enjoy ''ihe rich
Irish brocue." He arrived il Dublin on
Friday last, where lie was received with
becoming honor aud with genuine Irish
hospitality. After visiting some other
parts Of the laud rf eloqucnce aud song, he
will return 70 Paris, and afterwards sail
as we stated last week, in the United States
vessel of war; Richmond, which will leave
a French port fOr India, by way Of the Med
iterraueau and the Suez canal. From In
dia, Grant will pursue his journey to China
and Japan, and will reach San Francisco
some time in June, thus having made n
voyage around tie world. Having famil
iarizrd himself TO a limited extent, with
despotic government in the distant East,
Grant will be the better prepared. in the
event of his election to a third term, to in
augurate and enforce ga strong govern
menC supported by bayouets, which his
admirers advocate, as necessary to keep the
lahoring classes under proper restraint.
We .rust that the men who held Office IN
der him, and who are nov urging him for
third term, will be successful in their eff
forts, and hat an opportunity will be pre-
sented 10 the American people to record
their condemnation Of the administration
OF President, whose last term of four
years was the most lawlHss and corrupt in
uesrly every department of the govern
ment that wasIever known in the history of
the country.
