of his identity, including men prominent in

on the subject and actual hostiities were
engendered. The dispute ran high, and the
press of the state OF Illinois divided on the

tanned.
The case came up for trial in the south

occupied eleven days. The defense brought

Newby's behalf, including liberal sprink-

Secretary of State, Walter q.
Gresham, is dead. He passed away
after an illness of several weeks, with
an acute attack of pneumonia, ut the
Arlington Hotel in Washington on
last Tuesday. His early life like that
of many of the great men OF the
country was passed amid humble
surroundings-the record, he leaves
behind him, is that of distinguished
general, an eminent iurist, and a
statesman who loved principle more
than he did the political party, with
which he had been associated the
most of his life He failed to secure
The Republican nomination for the
Presidency, it is stated, because he de
clined to make pledges which would
cause sacrifice of his principles.
The President in announcing his
death, directs that the Diplomatic
Representatives of the United States
in all foreign counties display the
flags over their embassies and lega-
tions at half mast for ten days; that
for like period the flag of the United
States be displayed al half mast Al
all forts and military posts, and AZ
all naval stations and on all vessels
OF the United States, and that on the
day of funeral the Executive Depart
ments in the City of Washington be
closed and on all public buildings
throughout the United States the
National flag be displayed at halt
mast" He will receive a soldier
burial and the United States troops
have been ordered to attend his
funeral, the only man not of the
regular army, except Gen. John a.
Logan who has ever been thus hon
ored.

Malone rs a Rcrormcr.

The Washington Star of Wednes
day contained almost a column in.
terview with General William
Malone on Virginia politics. In
that article, the General poses as an
election law retormer. Here is what
he says concerning the Virginia
Legislative contest OF this year
Next fall, however, we elect the
entire Legislature, one hundred
members. and one half of the State
Senate, twenty members. That cleo
ton, in my Judgment, will prove a
great turning point for Virginia, and
it will be fought on lines altogether
different from former contests i'll Viz

honest election, and everything else
will be subordinate to that. ! believe

Daniel has advised Virginians to vote

been scarce and times have been

favorable to such uprisings. The
people of Virginia will see that they

start thinking. So far as the income

HUGH MCULLOCH DEAD.
One of the Most Eminent FinancIers.

Hugh McCulloch, the well-known
financier and Lincoln's Secretary of
the Treasury, died at his country
home in Prince George county, out a
few miles below Washington, on
Friday May, 9th.
Mr.. McCulloch was practical
banker, having engaged in banking
both here and III England. He
created and organized the Office of
comptroller of the currency, which
set in operation the national banking
system. He was twice Secretary of
the Treasury and was all his life con
sidered one of the great American
authorities on economics and finan-
cial questions. He was born in
Kennebunk, Maine, December 1885
He taught school, studied law and
went West and settled ut Fort Wayne.
After becoming President of the bank
of Indiana he was selected comp
troller of the currency. In March
1860, Mr.. McCulloch was appointed
Secretary of the Treasury by Presi
dent Lincoln. The government at
the time was in great financial dis
tress and in less than six months
from the time OF his appointment all
matured obligations of the govern
lnent were paid and the actual work
of reducing the debt was begun.
Secretary McCulloch advocated Il
steady reduction of the national
debt, the retirement of the legal
tenders and q speedy return to specie
payments urging that Il permanent
public debt might be dangerous to
republican institutions. He believed
also that it was not the business OF
the government to furnish the PEG
pie with Il paper currency; that ii
had no power under the constitution
to make its own notes lawful money
and that the paper currency of the
country should be furnished by the
banks In October, 1854, he was
again appointed Secretary of the
Treasury and served until the eX-
piration of Arthur's term, March 4,
1885, being the only man who has
twice held the Office. Since his re-
tirement he has resided on his farm
in Maryland.

The United Confederate Veterans,
ut their meeting recently held in
Houston. Texas, selected Richmond,
Va, as the place for their next re-
union. The selection of that city al
ways appropriate for the gatherings
of johnny RehS, because more con
snicuous in Confederate history than

in view of the fact that the corner
stone of the memorial to the Confed
crate President will be laid on the
occasion. That Richmond will act
well her part in the matter no one

Uses to be as large as that which pour
ed into the capital of the Confeder-
acy when the equestrian statue OF
Robert E. Lee was unveiled, and ii

Every ex-Confederate will of course
sim to be there, who believes in the
justice of the cause for which he
fought, to show his devotion to the
cause that went down in defeat, but
not dishonor."
