NOTABLE DEATHs.-His eminent
services to the T~;2n during the Late
war at critical periods Of its mainte-
nance and success endeared the pane
Of Gen. Hancock to the Union loving
sentiment Of the country and gave It
a position and distinction only below
those Of Grant, Sheridan and Sherman.
But peace hath her victories not less
renowned than war" and it was dur
ing the period Of reconstruction, or
more properly Of, unbrid!ed license
on the part OF the military power in
the South West, that the calm voice
Of Gen. Hancock was heard in the
land defining the civil rights OF the
people as well as the proper limits OF
military power. 1t was these noble
enunciations which afterwards led to
his nomination AS the democratic can
didate for the Presidency, and it Is
still these, more than all else, that
make his memory precious TO the dem.
ocrat;c heart. He died at GoVe.-~-'-
Island, New York, in the -'-''' SECOND
year Of his an~
e. seymour, another eminent
democrat, but eminent, not in war
but in sagacity and craftsmanship, wa,
followed TO the tomb within a few
days after the demise Of Gen. Hancock
Like Hancock, he had also been the
leader Of the democratic host in a
Presidential contest, but owing to the
madness ofthe hour, the people turned
him down and threw themselves into
the arms of successful soldier, with
scarcely qualification eyondit The
Governor returned to private and
could never be persuaded to enter
public life again on his own account,
but he freely gave his influence and
lis splendid talents to the cause ofhis
party and it is generally believed
among his personal friends that over
cXertion in its latest campaign was
the chief cause Of his late sickness and
death. He died at Utica, n. u, on
Friday last, in 10th year OF his age.
Thinking over the death of these
two men, and knowing that they can
not escape history, it is with confidence
we declare, that whatever truth shall
leap 20 light, they never shall be
shaned."

that made regular attendance at Mass and

CONVERSATION FOR SLAvEs.-Gen.
Benjamin F. Butler, Of Massachusetts,,
has contributed letter to the liter
allure of the question in regard to
compensation for slaves taken by the
hsa Stats fs EG f fssp citizens Of
strong and sensible letter it is, though
he weakens it much BY restricting the
hight Of remuneration to those who
were loyal or supposed to be to the
government: Of that day rather than
10 the Constitution of their country,
which declares that private property
shall not be taken for public uses
without compensation to the owner.
1t is new law that mere speculative
opinions, unaecompanied by overt acts,
Is a bar against a government paying
its just debts for property taken for
public uses in loyal State. We had
supposed that as long as a democratic
slave-owner in Maryland obeyed the
Supreme Law Of the land and the
local law Of the vicinage, he was as
eligible to. compensation for property
taken for public uses as the partisan
friends OF the government itself. We

Messrs Editors.-After ell that ha:
been said in praise OF the sunny skies
and salubrions climate Of the National
Capital, It cannot be denied that even
the favorable geographical location OF
Washington does not always serve to
render the climatic influences perfect.
During the present winter the changes
in the weather have been sudden and
marked. The heavy fall OF snow Of
last week has almost entirely disan.
peaied, and the danger Of a frsshst
Ia the Potomac has bssn greatly in.
creased by the rain. The river Is
rising rapidly, although the ice is
still intact. Every precaution has
been taken to avert possible danger.
Steam tugs are engaged in breaking
the ice, while men upon horseback
patrol the river banks above the city.
The watch will be KEEP, up until all
danger is past, In case Of a sudden
rise IN the river, the news will be at
once communicated TO the Signal
Ofice, and merchants owning exposed
property along the river front will be
notified.
Upon receipt Of the news of the
sudden death OF General Hancock, it
was at once ordered By the President
that the flags upon various Depart
ments be placed at half mast. A bill
was at once passed BY the Senate pro.
viding for the erection Of monument
to the memory Of the illustrious gen. |
sral, while the House testified its
respect in the customary way, and
voted itself holiday.

silver question in the Senate on Mon.
