4 Notable Figure in American Politics.


Hannibal Hamlin is to day the one most
distinguished connecting link between the
great statesmen of the past and the present
He served in the House with John Quincy
Adams, Preston King, Stephen A. Douglas,
David Wilmot, Henry A. Wise, Barnwell
Rhett and Howell Cobb. He served in the
Senate with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster,
John @. Calhoun, Thomas II. Benton, Simon
Cameron, James Buchanan and John J..
Orittonden. Later in the same body, and at
one time or another, he sat side by side with
Seward, Fessenden, Sumner, Chase, Douglas
and Morton, and still later he acted with a
third generation of statesmen, having had in
innate service and relations with Edmunds,
Conkling, Blaine, Thurman and Bayard. Mr..
Hamlin goes out of public life without any re-.
grets indeed, he is well satisfied to know
that his public work is DONE On the Sd of
March, as he sat for the last time in the SEN
ate he wrote letter to his son, Gen. Charles
Hamlin, in which he said -
am sitting for the last day in the Senate,
and, my son, am happy man. You and
others may not comprehend it, but feel il,
aud in the language of the sacred poet may
say
"This is the day long have sought"
At that moment Allen G. Thurman, the great
Democratic Senator, and Mr.. Hamlins warm
AAAohNt WhOoo Aoihu VI htANACb tAHhtu Nv lht
same moment, sat down beside him, and see
ing the work in which he was engaged, said,
"Old friend, feel just as you do" and then
on a vacant page Of the paper which was be-
fore Mr.. Hamlin, the Ohio Senator wrote as
follows to his friends son -
MY dear Mr.. Hamlin. have not the
pleasure Of your acquaintance, but l have
known your father for over 80 years. Like
him, can say, this is the last day Of my po-
litical life, and am rejoiced to go out of it
in such good company and with my personal
friend Of generation. My sincere wish is
that you may do honor to father so illustri-
Gus. Trulyyours, etc,
A. G. THURMAN"
In connection with the public service of Mr..
Hamlin, II is not amiss TO recall the fact that
when he first received political Office the
Union was composed of q states; since then
II new states have been added, but two less
than the number which fought for and estab-
lished the republic. During his public life
the population of the country has grown
from 16, OOO, 600 TO more than 80, 600, 600.

The LUDELING CASE IN LOUISIANA. The
first of March a murder took place in one Of
the parishes Of Louisiana which, il was
claimed, grew out Of political hostility. The
Ludelings were native Republicans. Their
neighbors, one Stubs, and his overseer,
Michenor, were Democrats. There has been
some feeling betw cen the two families upon
political matters. as well as upon business
affairs. At the time that young Ludeling
was murdered by Stubb's overseer Michenor,
a colored man working on Ludeling's planta.
ton married a woman living on Stubbs's
plantation, and the former loaned the man II
wagon to 60 after his wife's things While
the man was loading the things the overseer
ordered him TO leave aud made such threats
that the man fed, leaving the team behind.
Young Ludeling and a friend then rode over
and asked for the team. There was some
talk, during which Ludeling was called a
- -- nigger-loving Radical. Ludeling
made some reply, whereupon Mchenor shot
Ludeling and he died instantly. OF course
there was the form Of a trial, but to quote
the local paper, "a bond of $4,000 was asked
by the Justice, which was given without
trouble. and the parties are now at large"
And the murderer of Ludeling will never be
punished, because it is no crime in Louisiana
to shoot Republican.

A NEW REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION. .-'The
National Republican League" is the name of
an association just organized in Philadelphia
by a number of promin ent Independent Re-
publicans, including Attorney General Mac
Veagh and Wharton Baker. 1t is the inten-
ton of the leaders in the movement to organ
ize branch in every county in Pennsylvania
The platform of the organization contains
the following declarations In favor of the
publication and elevation of the Republi-
can party in favor of placing the party ma
chinery in the hands Of men of superior char
acter, and Of stimulating the moral sentiment
of the people in behalf of political activity /;
that the United States is a nation aud its gov
eminent has all the powers essential to the
maintenance OF national existence and the
protection of voters in the exercise of their
rights; that the faith OF the government
toward its creditors must be preserved that
American industries must be protected that
the tenure Of routine offices should be for life
or during good behavior, with the establish
ment of pensions for supersnnuated officials,
and merited promotion within each depart
ment of the public service. A vigorous or
ganization with such platform as the above
would have most salutary influence upon the
Republican party in every state.

tThe late James I. Fields last poem.l
"Kind traveller, do not pass me by
And thus poor old dog forsake;
But stop moment on your way,
And hear my woe, for PHYS sake.
"My name ia Rover; yonder house
Was once my home for many year;
My master loved me; every hand
Caressed young Rover, far and near.
''The children rode upon my back,
And could hear my praises sung;
With Joy licked their pretty feet,
As round my shaggy sides they clung.
81 watched them while they played or slept;
gave them all had TO give;
My strength was theirs from morn TN night;
For only them cared 70 live.
snow I am old, and blind and lame,
They've turned me out to die alone,
without a shelter for my head,
without a scrap Of bread or bone.
"This morning can hardly crawl,
While shivering in the snow and hail;
My teeth are dropping one by one;
scarce have strength to wag my tail.
"Im palsied grown with mortal pains,
My withered limbs are useless now;
My voice In almost gone, you see;
And can hardly make my bow.
perhaps yon1l lead me to a shed
Where / may ind some friendly straw
On which TO lay my aching limbs,
Aud rest my helpless, broken paw.
"stranger, excuse this story long,
And pardon, pray, my last appeal;
You've owned dog yourself, perhaps,
And know that dogs, like men, can feel"
Yes, poor old Rover, come with me;
Food, with warm shelter, III supply;
And Heaven forgive the cruel souls
Who drove you forth to starye and diel
Hdrper's Young People.

sin London, it would be possible to make
the trip from shore to shore, through this
