DANIEL wooLsEY VOORHEES,.

The death of Daniel w. Voorhees, re-
moves another of the actors on the polit
ical stage who were conspicuous among
the elders sitting in the gates a generation
and more ago For above a third OF a
century he was force In American pol
itics. For that whole period he was the
idol of his party in one of the great States
OF the Union. lie was a man of intellect,
a man OF force, n man of magnetism, n
man of culture, and above all, a man Of
the people. He was an earnest, sincere
man. and what the heart of Voorhees,
forged that the tongue of Voorhees, ut
tered. No statesman OF his day was less
a self seeker. He was one of the few con-
splcuous statesmen of his time who were
content 10 follow whea they might have
led.
Voorhees, entered congress with Clement
l.. Vallandigham and $. S. Cox. Thaddeus
Stevens was the leader of the house,
which he dominated In even greater de
gree than Mr. Reed dominates the present
house. And such congress! 1t Is no
disparagoment to any one OF our time to
say that the Thirty seventh and Thirty
eighth congresses were far superior. both
In constructive and destructive statesman
ship to any that has sat in that capitol
natural that they should be so. Great oc-
CASTOR makes the great man. and the Pc
Rod. 1861 Go, was the greatest occasion, so
far as concerns this hemisphere, OF the
century.
No ordinary man could be conspicuous
in the Thirty-seventh congress. At that
time Voorhees, was less than "a years
of age, and yet. before he was a year older.
he was as great a force In the house as
any member of the minority--a minority
that included Crittenden and Wickliffo,
vallandigham, Pendleton and Cox. The
paramount issue was the conduct OF the |
greatest war OF modern times. and incl |
dent to It, was the personal liberty OF the |
citizen. The republican leaders were ter |
ribly In earnest and had no notion OF |
being checked by strict observance OF the |
rights guaranteed by tho writ Of habeas
corpus. Voorhees, had distinguished him |
self as counsel for the defense In the trial
of one OF the accused OF the John Brown |
raid, and as an orator he was the nrst on |
the democratic side. His speech on the |
Death of Liberty" made In the Thirty
seventh congress. Is the democratic case OF
hat day, and while he was right In the
argument he did not realize that the &C.
rasion was such as TO make exception TO |
All accepted rules.
Though Voorhees, might have contested
he supremacy with him, he cordially rec
,gnized the primecy OF Thomas a. Hen
tricks in the democratic party OF Indiana,
And to that mngnaninity on his part vas
iue the fact that for m1ny years the de-
Il Indiana was not torn by fac
ion. Perhaps Hendricks expected more ad-
than voorhees,; but certainly,
Voorhees, was more loved than Hendricks
rhe former was Mr. Hendricks; the latter

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 27.-In the
Assembly to-day Dryden spoke on his res
olutions favoring the recognition of Cuban
belligerency and denounced the com unit
tee substitute as "cowardly and un-
American. The com nittee substitute
was then adopted, Dryden's resolutions
being voted down-37 TO 25.
Mead withdrew his bill to restrict rail-
road bonds to 80 per cent of the cost of

Veterans Home at Yountville to the State.
Leavitt asked for report from the Re-
trenchm ent Committee on Bridgeford' s
resolution for an investigation of bhe

that the investigation (Which Melick said
was in progress) is secret inquiry con
Quoted through spies, and that Mellck was
prejudiced against the State Printer. He
demanded fair investigation by "decent
straightforward people"
Dennery joined in the attack on the
committee, and asked if the com mittee
was the legislature.
Hill, member of the com mittee, ex-
citedly declared that the statements made
by Leavitt and Dennery were untrue.
Melick explained the course of the in
vestigation up to the present time and the
matter was disposed of by the adoption of
a resolution directing the Committee on
Retrenchment to report the Bridgtord
resolution.

for new trials, was passed.
