while his State did not secede. Joe
did, and fought it out on the Con-

General Bragg opposed this mani
fest swiudle for the benefit of two
dead rebels children, and it natur-
ally made Blackburn mad. He in
timated that Bragg was not telling
the truth, and declared he was res
ponsible for what he said-which
was awfully "chivalric." Bragg
retorted that he was responsible,
too, and went on to argue against
the appropriation. Bragg is the
smallest man in the House, phys
ically, except Alexander II. Steph-
ems, and it would puzzle even so
good a shot as Joe Blackburn to
hit him at ten PAGES.

Matt 81. Carpenter Dead.

When a great man dies, though
regret may be general, there is sell
dom more than one circle, outside Of
his own hearthstcne, that feels The
loss as a personal bereavement. The
death of Senator Carpenter is an ex-
ception to this. While the loss of
most men would be felt for the
greater part in one circle, his death
will come like personal affection
to many, because in many he was
well known and pre-eminept. The
statesman, the lawyer, the scholar,
the wit, will each and all regret
him, while many boon companion
who has roared at his sallies will
take his death as a misfortune. and
feel as though the founta in Of laugh
ter had been dried,
Senator Carpenter was unique and
without a counterpart among our
public men. Brilliant and versatile:
at once genius and practical
man of affairs; mingling of poll
tician and literature ambitious, yet
indolent reckless, yet prudent SEN
sitive, yet Indifferent persistent
and indefati gable, vet restless and
irresolute exclusive, yet familiar;
obstinate, yet docile, Matthew Ii.
Carpenter was conspicuous man In
his generation. and one of the ablest
and most remarkable this Nation
has produced.
He accomplished great deal, and
his hours Of labor often robbed him
of the rest which nature demanded.
He would apply himself twenty-four,
and sometimes forty-eight, hours or
more consecutively, with little food
and no sleep, when necessity re-
auired but, like most men Of
genius, be was without method, II

CAPITAL NOTES.

hADIcON, February ~NlH, IoNI
In his last days King Winter ex-
hlbits no less yigor, and sways his
royal scepter no less tyrannically
than in the prime of his manhood.
The storm prevailing here from
Saturday night until the present is
the severest of the many that have
preceded it during this winter of
almost unprecedented severity. On
Saturday a regular thunder storm
was experienced and warm rain
poured down all day converting the
heaps of snow into slush, which
covered the ground ankle deep. I'M
mense floods seemed inevitable, and
much apprehension was expressed of
disastrous consequences. But, presto.
Sunday morning found fresh snow
six inches deep atop of the slu>h.
The threatened flood was averted,
and another snow blockade in its
stead. All day Sunday the snow
continued to come down in binding
clouds, impelled by strong north
east wind piling up drifts in many
places six feet high. Streets are
travelled with difficulty, and com
munication with the outside world
is almost entirely cut off. As a
majority of the Legislature went out
of town to spend Sunday, as usual,
it is uncertain whether quorum
will be present tomorrow or not.
Although for several days antici-
pated, the death Of Senator Matt. II.
Carpenter was strongly felt in this
community. His genious was rec
ognized and admired, and that it
should be so soon exhausted could
but be cause for deep regret capable
of comprehending the magnitude of
the loss. TO superiority of talents
was his prominence and perferment
due, in a fuller sense than can be
claimed for any other man of our
State, past or present. Without
wealth; naturally incapable of uuI-
izing the ordinary methods of polit-
zeal advancement; lacking much of
the elements of partisan leadership;
and despite reckless disregard of
policy or propriety, he attained en-
nence at bound, which others rea,tn
only by long and tedious stages, an@
many fail Of attaining despite lives
of arduous toiling. He
con the lofticst top
or flames dread mountain sat not ,oilcd and
wora,
As if lie from The earth had labored up,
Bat as some bird Of heavenly plunagc fair
lie ltOkc0r WHICH NpNH l|uu4 Al-HN' rs i'">
came,
And pcrchcd it there, to see what lay beneath"
Such talents as Carpenters are
often marred by blemishes not COM
mon in ordinary men. That he was
an exception to the rule may not be
claimed. Had he been, it is thought
the light of his genius might still
be ours. Ills greatest lack was in
never having learned
That scecrt rare between the extremes TO
move,
oc mad good nature and OF mean sclflove.'
The necessity for promptness in
filing the vacancy occasioned by
Carpenters death, gives an appear
anee OF unbecoming haste to all
movements toward advancing the

cause of candidates. Undoubtedly
the name Of Angus Cameron is the
strongest before the Legislature, and
while opposition is vigorous and az
gressive, and aspirauts numerous,
there is a general feeling that Cam
cron will be chosen. The strongest
ground on which opposition to him
is based is charge that Milwaukee
politicians have undertaken to die
tate his election, and assumed con-
troll of his boom. Beyond question
the leaders of the late Sawyer cam
paign aim to equal prominence in
the selection of Cameron, and will
claim the honor of it when accom-
plished; bat an easy explanation of
their course is found: They were
shrewd enough to see in him the
coming man, and although they
might have preferred some one else,
they carefully conceal that prefer
ence and boldly assume the leader
ship of a force they could not sue
cessfully resist. 1t is said that
Cameron will lose votes from the
third district that naturally would
60 for him, purely from an aversion
to cooperating with the dreaded
