this time about forty members gath
cred between him and the Speaker
as If to imtibe the magnetism of the
dying Statesman. A noisy House
was almost mhaculously Transformed
to the dignity of the Senate. Az
ter addressing the Speaker be turn
cd his rolling chair in best
position t. address the House. He
proceeded TO speak of the M portance
o: good currency and plenty Of il
based upon goli and silver, der art
ing from the Jackson theory on the
ground Of orr advanced civilization
and great extent OF our poplaution
and commercial transactions. and
speaking OF our present high order
OF civilization and the sanguine hone
he still had OF our still further ad
vancement. The sublimity Of his
ideas was only equaled by the beau
tiiul language with which they
were clio he'd, and the eloeuence
which they were delivered, and vet
to look at his emaciated form. one
could scarcely believe thatsuch loud
clear aud ringing eloquence emanat-
ed rom such source, and az YOU
could imagine you almost saw fire
lash from his uplifted eyes one could
realize and recall the celebrity Of
this man in the fulness OF his man
hood and early vigor. 1t certainly
was most impressive sight. and the
great Difference paid hlm by the
House, showed the respect all had
for him.
On Friday / heard Blaine upon
the Anti-Chinese immigration bill.
lie made a very forcible argu-
ment against the benefit Of Chinese
Immigration showing up in an able
manner that we had better preserve
this country for our own posterily.
His speech was in answer to Stan
ley Matthews. After Blaine had
concluded, he was followed by Sen
ator Thurman in an able exposition
OF our constitutional right 10 exclude
the Chinese, and closed up by saying
that a mixture Of red, white and
black races was enough in this coun-
try without adding the Monaghan.
1t was real amusing tosee Blaine and
Thurman fighting side by side, when
upon political questions, they have
so often met in Senatorial contests
as rivals and leaders Of their respect
i've parties. Before Thurman had pro-
ceeded far, Blaine crossed the Senate
chamber and took seat Immediate
ly in front Of Thurman, and by his
frequent assent, was enjoying the
effort Of The Ohio Senator, while
HainIin and Conkling remained in
their seats preparing to answer the
following day.
Blaine was not as eloquent as
usual but very logical, while Thur
mans Interpretation Of the Constitu-
ton uron the subject, was one Of The
clearest and mort convincing l ever
heard.
On Thnrsday, Voobees will ask
the Senate to consider his bill grant
ing pensions TO the veterans of the
Mexican war, in order TO give Cen
eral Shields an opportunity TO ad-
vocste the measure, end az this is
expected to be the last public effort
OF an eventful life, it is Likely to |
bring together a large attendance
to hear the "Oid Veteran /" farewell |
speech on be half Of the men who fol-
lowed BIN at Cherubusco, thirty one
years ago.

Death Of Hon. Bland Ballard and Other
Leading Citizens Of Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, July 49, Hon. Bland Bal
lard, Judge of the United States court, died
at his house this afternoon.
He was 10 have held court this morning,
but not having appeared two hours after the
usual time, messenger was dispatched to
his residence, at Third and Broadway, to see
If he was Ill. He sent word back that he
felt very unwell, but would come down. He
got upon a street car, went to q barber shop,
and was shaved; then went to the Kentucky
National bank, where he attended to some
business, then to the postofice, but at this
time felt SO unwell that instead of going on
to the court room, he went back to the street
for q car to take him home. Arriving at
home Judge Ballard told his wife that he
was very i'll, that he was about to die. She
tried to cheer him, but he proceeded to state
his wishes in regard to his property in case
he died. Suddenly Mrs. Ballard noticed
q violent twitching of his features, his face
became livid and in few minutes he was
dead. Heart disease or apoplexy is the sup
posed cause.
A. M. Ballard, one of the oldest and wealth
lest citizens Of. Oldham county, La Grange,
and a first cousin of Judge Bland Ballard,
died yesterday at his home. He leaves no
family, having spent q long life perhaps
seventy-fve years as bachelor. In his
earlier life he was teacher, and educated q
large number of the prominent middle aged
men of to-day in central Kentucky, of
whose success in life he was always very
justly proud.
B. F. Felch, one of the most prominent
dry goods dealers Of the city, died late this
afternoon. he has been i'll for week past,
of typhoi fever.
C1Nc1NNAr1, O., July 29.-Judge Isaac
