| ishment of election frauds. Bench war

A Literary Lunatic.
PORTSMOUTH, Dec. 12.-Commander s.
Dana Green, OF the equipment office of the
navy yard here, killed himself in the
Franklin ship house. The body was taken
to the dispensary room Of the hospital and
prepared for burial. The only cause as.
signed for the act is mental anxiety over
literary matter he was preparing for publ
cation in relation to the fight between the
Monitor and Merrimac, in which he took
a prominent part, being the executive Off
Ger of the Monitor. He was anxious to re-
ply to recent publications relating to the
encounter, and was in New York last week
to procure material for the prosecution Of
his literary work. He had been watched
recently through fear he would take his
life. He leaves q widow and three chill
dren, one of whom is an officer on the Pa
cifice Station.

an editorial, the Herald here tomorrow
will print a letter from Gen. James s..
Brisbin, Vice President and Chairman of
the National Executive Committee of
cattle men, explaining the objects and pur-
poses of the St. Louis Convention. The
General declares hat free ranges are no
longer practicable or desirable, and that
q large majority of the cattle men Of the
United States favor the leasing Of public
grass lands, a Texas cattle trail, and an
! animal industry bill. The statement is
made that one-sixth OF all the cattle herds
| west of the Missouri River, are owned or
controlled by Englishmen, who feed on
free American grass, and are gradually
driving Americans out of the cattle bust
business. The letter appeals to the people
and Congress to protect American cattle
| growers against foreign capital, and to
favor cheap beef for home consumption.
