Sorrow at the CabitaI.


A Cleveland Leader special dispatch of
Dec. 1, from Washington. says the
announcement of the death of Con
gresham Updegraff. was received
with profound regret for be had
many personal friends. there. He
will be greatly missed in Congress
where, although not IA brilliant man, he
was very popular for lips warm-heart-
ed social qualities and accommodating
spirit. He was known us IA man whose
constituents were his dearest concern,
and it waS Il noticeable fact that while
otheEs weferformulating great schemes
for national improvements Updegraff 5
hills andi pet measures always related
purely TO his constituents 0r, their inter
ests-, He beGanle the authority in the
House for all matters pertaining to the
agricultural. resources of the country,
and a just and judicial oestowal of
cbairmanships: last year would have
given him The mead of the agricultural
committse of the House. HE was strong
on tariff matters. SO far as. they related
to hnsbandry, and his tariff speech of
last session. was the first and most wide
ly circulated of the documents sent out
by the: Congressional committee this
fan. -
Speaker. Keifer telsgraphed to the
following members, requesting them
to attend the funeral of Representative
Updegraff,of Ohio. (which is: to take place
on Monday next: Messrs. Mckinney,
Townsend. Converse, Mcclure, and Ath-
HertoD. of Ohio; Mr.. Caldwell, of Ken
tueky; and Messrs. Bay ne and Miller, of
Pennsylvania. The flag on the Capitol
to-day was at half-mast Speaker Keif
er sent the following telegram to l.. w.
updegraff: The death of Hon. J. T.
Updegratf causes the greatest sorrow.
The flag has been placed at half-mast
over the hall of the House. Complete
all necessary arrangements for the fu-
neral. A Congressional funeral, escort
will attend on Monday"
The Hon. Jonathan T. Updegraff,
whose death was announced by our spe-
cial dispatches yesterday, has filled sew
eral prominent official positions with
ability,and he died leaving record with
out stain. He was intelligent, patriotic,
and disinterested in his service to his
party, his State, and his country. and all
his duties in the varied public positions
he has held were discharged with dis
tinguished ability and fidelity. He.held
the position of surgeon in the army du-
ring the war, was member OF our State
Senate, served two terms i'm Congress,
and would have. served his third term
to which he was recently elected had it
not been for his untimely death. While
holding these positions he was promi-
nent in State and national. politics
outside of official life,,, serving
in conventions and taking an. active |
part in the Republican ranks in cam
paign work. He was a careful and eff |
fective speaker, always, speaking with |
GOODNESS and deliberation, and bringing
convictiop to his hearers, and in future
campaigns he will be. missed in Maine,
Indiana, and other States. He was
man of the most temperate habits, and I
though sixty years of age a. the time of
his death, appeared not far up. in the
forties. s.-Cleyeland Leader, 4!;4 /

The Late Congressman Updegraff.

Tie news of this gentleman's death
shocked the people on both sides of thei
river yesterday. and many regrets were
expressed on every hand ever; his un-l
timely deeease Now that he has gone,
after-n1neh suffering for months past,
the dissensiuns aud heart-burnings that
arose in consequence of his third term"
candidacy, which were very bitter in
deed during the past summer, and great
ly reduced his majority, all that is uD-
pleasant in connection with his aspira-
tions and canvass will be properly con-
signed to oblivion, and the man remem
bered only for what he was in other re-
spects.
He was man of great force of char
aeter, of an indomitable will and pur-
pose. of an aggressive temperament, and
consequently one of. those who, while
they succeed by superior energy and
strategy, yet challenge the resentments
and jealonsies of competitors, whose as
pirati5ns tend TO the same goal as their
own. While tire Doctor was Quaker
born and Qnaker-bred, yet he had very
little in common with their pacific, Qui-
et, contented and unaspiring life. He
was full of ambition, greatly. desirOus of
entering and remaining in public life, had
marked confidence in himself, was fond
of political Excitement, not very defer
ential to Others, but man of heroic res.
olution, great vigor of procedure, and
an untfring disposition to work. He
made himself useful in public life to his
constituents, and they have seldom had
d more efficient representative.
He was well educated, he ii;rd travelled
good deal both in this country and in
the old world, had had a very practical
experience OF life both in the army (as
d surgeon) ani Ill civil life. and was
well qualified 10 De is member OF Con-
gresS. He was u man uf good habits,
never absent from his post, always on
the alert to gather and utilize informa
ton, and as a puelc servant WAS a grow
ing and expanding Character. His next
term wouldn no d0ttDt nave been the most
useful to his people, for-he had studied,
observed and become familiar with all
the matters: of business; aud in new
EsHouSe, although controlled by the eppo-
Sition, a man of his fortitude of purpose
would have made his mark His death
is therefore great loss to the people of
the Seventeenth district
DR.. Updegraif was devoted to the ag-
ricultural interests of the conntry, and
this gave him a strong lold On5the farm
ing community;in his Gistlict. But for
this he would have been beaten in the
late canvass. He had studied agricul-
Iture quite thoroughly, ard, moreover,
was practical farmer and this fact
was understood and appseeiated on, the
other side of the river. He was con-
SpicuOuSly with tie movement To make
the head of the Agricultural department
of the Government GabipAs osticeT, and
this will yet be done, and when it is
done az Rnch credit for this recognition
of agriculture will be due to DR.. Upde-
graft as to any other many man in the
tcouhtry.-Wheeling Intelligeneer.
