Death of Zach Chandler.

Oedtu O1 LaCn Cnandler.
Senator Zachariah Chandler, OF
Michigan, was found dead in his bed
ata hotel i'll Chicago on Saturday
morning. On the evening before his
death he had addressed All immense
concoursc with his accustomed Writ
lcncc. The physicians attribute his
death to congestion of the lungs, but
the probability is that hc had worn
himself out with over indulgence i'll
liquor and in impotcnt rage against
the South and JEFF Davis. We would
be pleased to say something good OF
Zach Chandler, but We don't know
anything except that he was good
tather-in-law, and gave twenty thou
sand &c liars to each Of Eugene lialc's
children ut birth. In politics hc' was
M unscrupulous partisan. Born in
1873 in New Hampshire, he moved to
Michigan and engaged in mercantile
pursuits. lie was mayor OF Detroit
III 1851, and in 1857 was elected
United States Senator, serving con-
tinuously until 1875. The tidal wave
OF 1871 swept away q number Of rot
ten political hulks, among them Zach
Chandler. Grant took him into his
cabinet as secretary of the Interior
Taking advantage Of his double posi-,
ton of cabinet officer and chairman o
the national Republican party, he or,
ganiZed tho scheme which resulted in
the theft of tho Presidency. Hayes
was for while ungratcful and Zach
Chandler refused to recognize him or
to visit the White House. But at the
beginning Of this year he.,uado bar
gain with tho White House, by whicl,
Hayes appointed Senator Clristianuy
to Peru and Zach Chandler was re-
elected to the Senate. Hero he spent
his whole time in reviling JEFF Davis
and the South. The same speech was
rcvnmpcd OH all occasions, and was
uniformly received with loud laugh
ter by the Democrats, q circumstance
that never failed to make the NIichi-
gan statesman rave. During the
present campaign Chandler stumpcd
several States, and was in the midst
ofa tour Of vitupcration in Illinois
when death lay his hand upon him.
One of his last speeches contained the
following:
When the rebels surrendered at Ap-
pomattoX they surrendered to Il GOV.
crnmcnt. When they surrendered
their people and their arms they sur.
rendered to tho government of the
United States of America. They sim.
ply asked that their miserable lives
might be spared. We gave them thci,
lives, and told them to 20 home and
raise crops and behave themsclvcs' % v..
and obey the laws. They had forfeit.
ed their property, and wo returned il
70 them. They forfeited their citizen.
snip, anu we restored it to them. We
Killed the fatted calf, and invited them
TO tho feast, and they grandly inform.
cd us that they had always owned that
caltand were not thankful for it. Bv
the laws Of war and of nations thcy
were III right bound to pay all OK
Rcnscs OF the war and of tile nation
They were in all justice bound to pav
the cost OF tho rebellion, but wc foI;.
gave them with n magnanimity IN.
known TO the nations Of tho earth. We
made mistake, but the greatest mis-.
takc we ever made was in not hanu.
ing enongh of those rebels to make
treason forever odious.
Tho elections this foil arc simply q
preparatory skirmish. We don't know
who Will lead us to victory, but pcr.

1ectually interrupted the speaker), O,

No matter who it is, We shah make
these rebel brigadicrs know and Nm.
dcrstafd that they have got to obcy
the laws ofthis country-that we arc al
last q government.
This Is fair sample of all his talk,
No wonder such q malignant spirit
could not survive the general revival
of prosperity.
