Death of Garibaldi.

The cable gives the intelligence Of the death
of General Garibaldi at Caprera, Friday. In
his long and adventurous lifetime Garibaldi
played many parts, and ali with distinction
BE was born in Nice, July 4th, 1907. His
father educated him to his own profession
that of mariner. His second voyage was to
Rome, and what he saw there led to those
revolutionary views which caused his exile
from Italy in 1884. He went to Marseilles
and thence sailed to various quarters of the
world, among the rest to Rio de Janeiro. Here
he engaged in business, and later on took part
on land and sea in the wars between various
States OF South America, distinguishing him
self particularly at the seige of Montevideo.
In the Spring of 1848 Galibaldi, with his le-
gion of Italians formed in South America, Of
fered his services to Charles Albert in Pied
mont, where he continued to fight the Austri-
ans after the Kings defeat. In 1849, while
commanding 1900 men in defence of Rome,
he gained a victory over the French, and soon
after routed also the Neapolltans, who were
threatening the city, He was finally driven
from Italy, and came in 1850 to New York,
where he engaged IN the making OF candies on
Staten Island. After several voyages to the
Pacific, he returned to Italyin 1859, by the in
vitation of the Sandman Government, and did
good service in the war with Austria. In 1860
he sailed from Genoa to Sicily with 1000 vol
unteers, and became dictator of the island.
Crossing the strait in September, he gained
victory on the Volturno, and in conjunction
with the Sandman army, brought about the
merging of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies
in that of Italy. Resigning his dictatorship,
Garibaldi now retired to the small island of
Caprera In 1851 he became member of the
Chamber of Deputies, and in 1862 general-in-
chief OF the National Guard. Later on we
find him fighting in succession the French and
Austrians. He aided the French in the war Of
1870, and was put in command of division.
In recent years he has been q member of the
Chamber of Deputies, and has welded large
but rather uncertain influence in Italian affairs

Oregon Election.

An election was held in Oregon on Monday
last for members of the Legislature, Supreme
Judge and a member of Congress. The Re
pubicans swept the State, electing a majority
OF the Legislature, which will Oh Dose United
States Senator in place of Grover, Democrat,
and M. G. George, Republican, to Congress-
1t is stated that the Chinese question was not
IN the canvass. That was because the people
had sense enough to know that it had no bu-
slness there, and that even this sensational
issue could not help the Democratic party
This is the first important election of the
year, and shows the tendency OF public
thought. After the 4th of March next, the
Republicans Will have clear majority in the
Senate and the election in November will re-
suit in an overwhelming Republican FREEDOM
nance in the House, to be followed in 1884 by
Republican President, and Republican
administration throughout. 1t is good time
for the young men of the country, and espe-
cially of the South, to turn their backs upon
party that is representative only of the long
ago, and has nothing in it sympathetic with
the progressive influences of the present.
The result in Oregon and that of the mu-
nicipal election in Wilmington, Del, on Sat-
urday last, where the Republicans elected
the Mayor and majority of the Council,
point very clearly to the drift of public senti-
ment, and the utter defeat and route of De-
mocracy all along the line from the Arestook
to the Rio Grand and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.

The late VIM. B. Rogers.

We had only time last week to announce
the death of that great and good man, Prof
William B. Rogers, which occurred In Boston
on the Both of May. His life had been one of
remarkable activity and usefulnes, and he died
in the harness. He dropped dead whilst ad-
dressing the graduating class of the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology. He was seven
ty-seven years old, and the supposed cause of
his death was heart disease.
At the time of his death, Prof Rogers was
President of the National Academy of Seenoess
He was one of family that has long been
eminent in American science, being the second
of the three famous sons of DR.. p K Rogers,
and was born in Philadelphia in 1905. The
eldest son, James Blythe Rogers, NJ D., at one
time professor of chemistry in the Pa. Universe
ty, died in 1862, and was succeeded by his
younger brother, Dr. Robert Empie Rogers,
who had previously held similar position IN
the University of Virginia and is now the
honored professor of chemistry in the Jeffer-
son Medal College. William B. Rogers sue
ceeded his father, in 1885, in the chair of natu-
raj philosophy and chemistry at William and
Mary College. A few years later he became
professor of natural philosophy and geology
in the University of Virginia, and held that
position until 1858, when he removed to Bos-
ton. He lectured there at the Lowell Insti-
tute and elsewhere, and in 1862 was chosen
president of the newly-organized Institute of
Technology. This office he resigned in 1868
and has since lived in comparative retirement
The great work of his life, however, in which
his two brothers were associated with him,
was the geological survey of the State of Vir-
ginia which he organized in 1885 and directed
until its completion in 1S4s, publishing six
volumes of reports. Later the three brothers
were associated in the first geological survey
Of Pennsylvania, and though the survey now
in progress may render obsolete many of their
reports, they will nevertheless remain as mon
uments of intelligent, accurate and broad sci
entific research, and would alone suffice to
preserve the fame of group of men whose
name is written high up among the pioneers
Of modern science in America.

1t is useless to discuss the result of the
election in Stanton on the 25th. Very few
outside Of the city lin its feel an interest in
it, and everybody within the city Ii N its
knows that the defeat of Col. VIM. L..
Bumgardner and the election of DR.. N.
Wayt, in the second ward, was crushing
blow to the primary bosses. And every
body in Staunton knows how the vote at
the primary was gotten out. 1t was not
because of the approval Of the pri mary
plan, or the objects of the primary, Men
were dragOoned into it against their judy
ment and inclination, and many went in
without knowing the import of their action.
A few persons, very clever gentlemen in
soc ial relations, but not so clever as party
managers, undertook to have their own
way in the matter, and it was determined
to teach them lesson for the future regu-
lation of their political conduct. They
succeeded in nothing, really, for which the
original suggestion of the primary was made,
and were defeated in the major object they
had in view. 1t will be so again, but much
more sweeping and emphatic should they
ever attempt the same game.

An important test case affecting the consti-
nationality of the sample merchant license
of Virginia, has, upon ha6eas corpus, been ia
ken up to the United States District Court OF
Eastern Virginia. Henry T. Thornton, agent
of combination of Baltimore merchants, was
arrested at Norfolk for selling goods without
license, and put in JAIL in default OF 5000 ball
He was taken by writ of Aabeas corpus, before
commissioner, and released to appear before
Judges Bond and Hughes, of the United
States Circuit Court at Richmond on the 18th
inst. The Baltimore merchants claim that
the State law which imposes tax of $3.50 to
$500 on sample merchants is IN violation of
the Constitution of the United States, which
reserves the right to Congress to regulate
commerce between the States. We have al
ways regarded this law as in conflict with the
National Constitution, and the wonder is that
the question has not been tested before this
time 1.

A CT one at Chattanooga, Tenn, on the I'd
inst. did fearful work. A dispatch from
there to the Louisville Commercial gives the
details of it. Zone of the saddest and strang-
est deaths on record was that of Mrs. Carroll
during the cyclone in the vicinity of Monti-
cello, Ga, few days ago, because of the man
ner IN which it was brought about. Hearing
the storm approaching, Mrs. Carroll, with q
child in her arms, rushed to her husband, DR..
Carroll, who threw his arms about her neck.
AT the same moment the wind blew the house
down upon them and crushed them to the
f1oor-the mother with the infant in her arms,
the husband with his arms around his wife's
neck. The timbers did not seem to hurt her, but
locked the Doctors arm 80 closely around her
neck that he could not move it. He was con-
scious that he was killing her, but all his ef-
forts to throw off the timbers were futile. As
sistance came in two hours, but too late. The
spirit of his beautiful young wife had taken
its flight. She was in deaths cold embrace
and the husband felt that he was in a measure
responsible for her death. For days he was
almost a raving maniac. The babe was also
killed, but it is not known whether oy the
falling timbers or by being pressed to death
by its mother"

Several paragraphs have recently ap.
peared in the R edmond papers. stating
that it was currently rumored on the streets
of that city. that young lawyer, who
moved in the best society and was esteemed
for his many presumed virtues of head and
heart, was dcfaulter for large amount,
and had absconded. OF course every one
who knew any of the young lawyers of
Richmond was anxious to learn who the
misguid ed person was. Whether suspicion
rested on any particular one or not a gen.
eral feeling of uneasiness must have prevailed
among the friends of each and every one of
them, and it is possible that the crime was
located on one or more of them in the
minds of those who only had the unsatis-
factory statements of the Richmond pa
pers to guide them. The injustice and
wrong of publications Of this character are
apparent. 1t is better always to withhold
all allusiOn to such matters until the facts
will justify the mention Of the name asso-
cia ed with them and the positive location
Of the guilt. Otherwise the innocent must
suffer, for it Is natural for the curious to
speculate and surmlse as to the parties who
have so offended. 1t whets the morbid ap-
petite and sets in motion the tongue of SLAM
der, which is not careful as to its victim
but victim it will have. 1t is a peryersion
ofjournalism to deal in suspicion or inuen-
do. If there are no facts to justify and d.
rect reference to the party implicated,
there should be no mention of them, for
there could be no possible good, but a
great deal OF harm grow out Of it.
The following paragraph, taken from
the Marion Patriot Herald, smythe county,
reveals the name Of the young man hereto
fore shrouded in mystery, and this relief
to the other young lawyers Of Richmond
does not come from the papers which
aroused the suspicion, but from a party
who resides in Southwest Virginia, who
happened to be sufferer by the defalca-
tions exposed. That paper says;
Robert Stanard, who has heretofore stood
high as lawyer in the city of Richmond,
had placed in his hands for collection, la
Dor and supply claims held by different
persons against the Atlantic, Mississippi
| and Ohio Railroad. Among the claims was
one for about $500, coming to Capt. D.
D. Hull, of this place. Stanard had be-
come gambler in stocks and is said to
| have lost heavily by the late decline in the
| Richmond and Danville Railroad stocks
he tried to retrieve his fortunes by a spec
ulation in stocks, using the money OF his
| clients collected on the labor and supply
| claims. He was unfortunate and lost eve
| rything. some fifteen thousand dollars it is
said. He made confession of his guilt to
| certain parties in Richmond, and then
started for the West. Capt. Hull getting
an inkling of the trouble went to Rich
| mond. and then to Baltimore where Stanard
| was last seen, but there he lost all traces
| OF him. So much for trying to make a
fortune by the illegal use of money belong
ing to other persons.

influence of the Soil on Health.

The influence OF the soil upon the health of
those living upon it, is brought out very plain
ly during the prevalence OF epidemic diseases.
That malarial diseases Qike intermittent fever)
originate from the soil, is already accepted ;
and recent Investigations show pretty conclu-
sively that the germs of Cholera, Abdominal
Typhus, Yellow Fever. and the plague are in
some way connected with the soil, which is
daily corroberated by letters from all parts of
the country, stating the marvellous effect Pc
rwna has on these diseases, and in their con-
valescent state. John E. Courtney, Of Cory,

Hon. John Paul's Speech.
A Correspondent OF the Wing, writing from
Washington, under date of June l, saws:

A Correspondent OF the Wing, writing from
Washington, under date of June /, says:
The readers of the Wing are already inform
ed OF the great success achieved by John Paul
i'm his speech OF last Tuesday but they have
little conception Of the widespread influence
the speech is exerting upon public opinion at
the North regarding politics and parties in
Virginia. Like Mahones great efforts of last
year in the Senate, John Pauls speech in the
House has come like revelation to the thous-
lands who are reading it. His indignant def
ance Of the Bourbon leaders like the windy
Blackburn, of Kentucky, who Paul claimed
piece of eloquence and captured the House
and galleries from the start.
An unwary South Carolina member named
Evans gave Paul splendid chance by inter-
rupting him with the cry of "Repudiation"
against Virginia Re-adjusters. Quick as mag
ic, and bristling at every point with resent
ment at this insulting reference to his party,
Paul poured volley after volley into the repu-
tation record of South Carolina and other
cotton States VIII ose Senators and Representa-
tives have had t he cool effronterY to assail the
honnor of old Virginia. While making this
portion of his speech, he stood in the aisle
near his seat, and looked the very transfgura-
ton of indignant and defiant eloquence. His
rich, resonant and harmonious voice served
him to great advantage, and his personal bear.
ing was in the highest degree persuasive and
commanding. On both sides of the House
John Paul is already conceded to have taken
front position as an orator and debater.
Pauls speech will make great campaign
document during the approaching canvass.
His arraignment of Bourbon Democracy for
treacherv to the interests of Virginia and the
South was masterful; and Readjusters, when
they shall have read John Pauls speech, will
feel themselves hundred told stronger in the
patriotic and self-respecting reasons that inn
pei them to oppose fossilized, selfish and in
capable organization which has no power to
be of advantage to Virginia, and whose record
shows it to be unwilling to exert that power
for our benefit even though it possess it:
Whether in peace or war, Paul maintained
that the Bourbon leaders had been the enemies
of Southern progress, and as for Virginia, her
sons had nailed the banner of REIMBURSEMENT
at the mast head of Liberalism to stay until the
old State should be permanently redeemed
from her enemies and slanderers within and
without her borders. But shall not seek to
anticipate your readers in the great pleasure
and profit they have in store in reading Paurs
admirable speech. VIRdINlAN.
