Senator Zach Chandler Fouad
Dead In his Hell.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1st.-Senator Zachary
Chandler. of Michigan, was found dead
IN bic bed at the Grand Paciic hotel
this morning. He had been speaking
in Wisconsin, aud last nighs addressed
ar immense audience at Mccormick
hall, in this city, and spoke with his
usual earnestness. After the meeting.
when he and Senator Logan and Hon.
Jesse Spaulding were sitting in his
room, engaged in a conversation Sena~
tor Chandler complained of Indigestion.
Al he had complained of some dis
tressiug feeling while enroute to the
city with these gentlemen, Mr. Spaul .
ing suggested that be remain over in
the city until Saturday night, but he
said that business affairs required his
attention at home and an order was
given to have him call in the morning
at seven O'Clock. His friends then
babe him good hight and left. That
is the last time the Senator was seen
alive. This morning, when the office
boy called him there was no response.
AZ upon repetition, silence prevailed,
the clerk effected an entrance through
the trausom aud found the Senator was
dead. The boly was not quite cold,
and 4 physician. who was present, de
cided that death occurred about three
hours previous TO the discovery. The
face looked trauqnil. showing that
death was painless. The coroner viii

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 3I,-The InN
telligencer furnishes and vonches for
the truth of the following statement OF
President Hayes views OH the Virginia
debt canvass: He desires that his ac-
ton on the question should be known.
he does not to command or con-
troll the Republicans of Virginia, nor
ask to influence the action of Fedaral
officers. but would be surprised if the
Republicans allied themselves with the
readiusters. They should not COUNTIES
nance any proposition whatever that
contains the germ of reputation, and
must not sacrifice the principle involved
in the payment of Virginia's honest
debts.
Virginia is making the greatest mis-
take OF her life; forcible ~readjustment
Is In principle reputation. No re-
spectable Northern men will ever settle
in Virginia unless her peop o are frou--s
and pay what they owe. He knows his
views on this subject are entertained by
Grant. Blaine, Sherman and all the
leading Republicans North, East and
West. Surely Southern Republicans
will not oppose such leaders. The
President inquired is the Federal
officials of Virginia were not support
ing the debt payers, and was gratifcd
to hear they were. He said he hoped
the colored people would not be misled
by the appeals of demagogues, and in
duced to vote against the party of hons
esty and right.

ylr. tl,ll.. s.c,ses.,

Hon. Ben Hill, Of Georgia, has writ
ten q letter to Mr.. Crittenden, OF New
York. giving soma of the reasons why
the South is solid. It is an able paper
and the argument is ono 81 conclusive
reasoning, but nothing u Southern man
can say can be received with favor in
the North. Already detached portions
If the letter are being distorted and
the whole misrepreaented. The New
York Tribune advises Mr.. Hill to re-
sign. We have read the letter carefully
and can find not the least indication of
an idea 10 which objection can be taken
even by a s%sctionalist. He gives the
Southern view correctly, justly, and his
constituents are proud to stand by it.
Commenting upen the letter, the
Columbus Enquirer asks, is it not re.
markable that while Democracy has its
main. strength in the South. and when
our section furnishes it the best brains.
that none of our leading men are in,
vited to Join In Northern debates? If
anything happens wrong the South is
blamed for it. 1t was the solid Soutb
they say that carried California. that
defeated Ewing, and we suppose they
will put the blame OF the division in
New York on the South Some Of
them rave abont the extra session, and
say 1t was the cause of all the woes. II
was a Western idea. Ohio first raised
he cry of removal COT troops. Tbo
plan OF starving ont the government
came from Western Democrats and THE
Southern opposed il. Our people are
becoming utterly dIsgusted with jour
nails that are continually lifting the
burden from their W shoulders and
throwing it on others. We desire no.
their apologies nor explanation, and
are very weary of lectures. II the
Northern Democrats wonld do thei,
duty rs we'll as those of the South the
country would be quiet and victory
ours.
The extra session was very successful.
1t gave the Democrats the control of
the house and its organization; it CAV,
them Senatorial appointments, ana by
a changed jury system made it possi-
by for a white man before a u. S.
Court IN the South to OBTAIN as fair a
trial as a Radical negro.

A curious statement is made as to the

In the whole history of the country
