morning, although the end had come at
10: 36 of tho previous night. "Tho l'ros
idont is dead" were the sad word* first
uttered a* friend greeted friend on our

many the enrliost intimation of the great
calamity that was upon tho land was borne
to their oars by tho tolling of the church
bells, and to say that a deep sorrow per
vaded the town i* to givo but a feeble
expression to the feeling of sadness that
filled every heart.
Karly In the forenoon tho emblems of

THE LATE CAPTAIN IIKEEHE. The
Providence, 11. 1., Daily Journal of Wed
nesday morning, the 14th instant, contain
ed the following tribute to the memory of
Capt. K. Itandolph lireetn, who died at
Newport tbo day previous and whose
death was noticed in the DEMOCRAT of
Inst week :
"Close upon the news of the sudden
death of General Burustdu followed the
tidings that Captain K. It. Hreese, of the
United .Stale* Navy, died at ari early hour
Tuesday morning, at Newport, where he
ha* been ill for several weeks.
Captain Broese entered the navy as mid
shipman, appointed from Ithode Island,
November 0, 184<i, and was attached to
tho sloop-of-war Saratoga, lie was pro
moted to i'asscd Midshipman, Juno K,
1862; to Master in'lß6o ; commissioned
Lieutenant, .vmtcmber it), I860; Lieuten
ant Commander, July 10, 1802; Com
mander, July 26, 1800; Captain, August
'J, 1874. Such in a few words, ia the sketch
of a record just closed which embraced all
of the various difficult and dangerous du
ties of u navy officer in war and peace.
During tiie rebellion his career was one
of which any officer might well feel proud.
Commencing with the bombardment of
J-'orts Jackson and St. I'hilip, below New
Orleans, at the time of Farragul'a immor
tal achievement (when Capt. Breese com
manded the third division of l*irter's mor
tar flotilla;; commanding the second divi
sion in the op-ration* before Vicksburg in
the summer of 1802; in command of the
historic flagship Black llawk at Arkansas
Post, 1862, and at tho siege of Vicksburg,
1803, during which for a time he had
charge of the mortars ; commanding ail
the naval forces in the demonstration on
Haines Bluff in co-operation with General
Sherman; in tho lied Kiver expedition,
1804; present a* Fleet Captain of the
North Atlantic squadron at both attacks
on Fort Fisher, and commanding the
naval forces at the final aoaull thereon
and in the subsequent operation* in Cape
Fear Kiver—surely his Slate, a* hi* coun
try, may well feel the deepest gratitude
for the part he took in the great struggle.
It was his lot to be associated throughout
the war with Admiral Porter, whose dis
patches teern with thanks arid commenda
tions upon the admirable manner in which
he discharged his responsible duties, and
General Sherman added hi* niesl of praise
for the hearty and efficient assistance ren
dered the army by Captain Hreese in the
combined attack upon llatne* Bluff.
Since the war, Captain Breese ha* held
various command*, among them the Tor
;>edo .Station at Newport, and here a* else,
where, bis whole course was marked by
conscientious, manly zeal for the service.
At the time of his death he was preparing
a home for his family in Newport, which
he had claimed as hi* residence all hi* life,
and where hi# widow la daughter of ex-
Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania) and
four children, receive the sympathy of
very many real, sincere friend*.
Captiin Breese'* character and attain
ments, in short, bis place in this world,
may be summed up in the assertion that he
wa* a model American naval officer. This,
in the opinion of the writer, is sufficient lo
describe the highest type; perfectly coura
geous and perfectly gentle, equal to the
roughest emergency, while as lender and
reflm-d as a woman, thoroughly trainee! in
all the duties of his profession, and bear
ing about with him that indescribable at
traction of the perfect gentleman, which
won tho love of all who knew him."
The funeral of Capt. Ilrwi; took place
at Trintiy Church, Newport, on lest Tburs
day and *u attended be \ larcn number
ol army and navy officer* and many
friend* of the deceased. Captain Stephen

P. or H. PICNIC.—On last Thursday
morning a* the weary husbandmen awoke
from their peaceful slumbers they were
greeted by welcome breeses from Did
Ocean, presaging a long looked for and
much needed rain. It was.the day of the
Granger picnic, but many farmers turned
their thoughts from refreshment and pleas
ure to labor, and getting out their drills
rushed for their plowed fields, determined
to get their grain in the ground before the
rain would come. However, enough of
them w ro loyal to their order and turned
out in numbers sufficient to make the pic
nic a success. Your correspondent reach
ed the grounds about ten o'clock and
found them teeming with merry pleasure
seekers, while three cornet hands, the
Zin, the Leinont, and the Washington,
were enlivening the exercises with strains
of sweetest music. The peanut man was
there, and far above the din of the hands,
the rumbling of wheels, and the noises of
the merry makers, was heard his hoarse
voice, telling the crowd that "here's where
you get your double-jointed, silver-|<oinled
California |<eanuts." The ice cream man
was there end strained his lungs to their
utmost to rival the peanut man, but It
was "no go;" tho weather was too cool,
and the lovers of frozen milk prefercd
something to warm them instead of a cool
er. Poor Mr. Lo was not there, aa he
had not sufficiently recovered froir. the
blows he received at the Soldier'a picnic,
lo allow him to take part in the exercises,
hut his place was supplied by a rprucy
looking gentleman with a head, fastened to
the body by a hinge, at which the small
hoy* threw balls for the cigsrs. It re
minded one of Hanquo't ghost, for al
though it was knocked down a great many
limes, it would'nt stay down, but always
turner) up again. The ground hog man
was there, and entertained a great many
|M*op|e with hi* little side show, and at the
same lime satisfied the inner man by sell
ing them nuts, candies, and "sich like."
Aiwiut half past ten o'clock Col. Jarnes F.
Weaver, the Master of the county grange,
tried lo call the meeting to order and
make a speech, hut the poople had come
for pleasure, and did'nt care much about
speoi h making, and beside* the noise of
the je-anul and ice cream men, which
could have been beard above the roar of
artillery, put speech making out of the
question, to the Colonel, after a few re
marks told us all to get rcsdy for dinner.
In an incredibly short space of time the
ground was dotted with white table cloths
when "presto" there seem-d to rise, as by
magic, from the ground, huge jelly csket,
heap* of chicken, and many other good
things 100 numerous to mention. Hut
trmput omnia motantur, an h'-ur pa-sedon,
and the good thing* had all ditapjiearcd ;
gone to that bourne whence no jelly cake
ever returns, except ahen the doctor sum
mon* it by an emetic. "The hour of labor
Having arrived" the Master called us to
order again, and made a short address,
after which everybody sought to amuse
himself or herself in the best manner pos
sible. A lew dro|<* of rain from Captain
Nimbu* started a few of the old and the
rheumatic one* to their homes, hut soon
Boreas arretted the gentleman and put
him under guard for a while, K> that the
pleasure* of the day might not be disturb
ed. The Grand Master of the Slate Grange
of Pennsylvania, was present, and *oemd
to enjoy himself hugely. Pa*'. Grand
Mailer I'iolette and Brother McCormlck,
who were advertised to address u* did not
put in their appearance. We bope they
have a good excuse for their not coming.
Before closing I must tell you about the
pretty girl* who graced the picnic with
their presence. There was quite a sprink
ling of fair maidens, comely to look upon,
and beautiful as Hourle*. The old Roman
gods would have b-on ravished with their
beauty, could they but have bsheld them.
Some of the young men were terribly
smitten with their charms, as may he
judged by the manner in which they
l"le,l them around on their arms, and fed
them on randies and osber dainties. On
the whole the picnic was a grand success.

With the nomination of General Han
cock for Presidency, it* editor renewed
hit relation* with the Democratic parly.
No disappointment with the idea* of the
lb-publican parly prompted hit decision ;
but be raw that THE manager* of that party
had made hostility to the South a condi
tion of continued membership, and that
even the llluitriou* services of General
Hancock to the country bad made no im
pression upon men who, without thoe aer
vice*, would have had neither country nor
party. Together, with hundred* of tbou
and* of other*, the editor of "PIMTLU''
therefore took ground for the oau*e of
peaco, palrioti*M, and reconciliation ; and
every subsequent hour ha* confirmed In
him the wisdom of hi* action.
The cio*ene*T of the popular vote in
1880, when the Republican* carried the
day only by panic and capital, and the
imall majority in Congmaa, with hundred*
of thousand* of office-holder*, forced to
vote to keep their place*, proved the power
of the great party founded by J< N-r >O
and Franklin, and immortalized by Jack
on, Douglas*, Caaa, Silaa Wright, and
Thnma* H Benton ; and, rinoe that elac.
lion, the South ha* exhibited a vitality,
energy, and pro*peritv that iCcrea*c iu
value to the I nion and it* future force in
all that relate* to national development.
" PROGRESS" will reuin all it* contribu
tor* that have been writing in it* ;*ge*
for the I art two year*, especially those who
mini*ter to the la*to* of thoughtful men
and women, and more will be added on
new topic*, political and social. I will be
particularly obliged if my old friend*,
North and South, Kaat and W*t, will
give me the benefit of their personal co
operation in thi* effort to trengtben a
journal which i* intended to spread the
truth In favor of generoua Democratic
principle*, and to foeter and cement com -
radeahip between all people* and St- TE*
I have no other, a* I can have no higher,
ambition than to aucreed in thi* great ob
ject. Independent of all clique* and fac
tion*, voluntarily out of office, and pit ad
ing for real relief from sectionalism and
the ecbeme* of imperialist* and Federal
i*ta, I a*k the raaeaea to give me tbe en
couragement I have alwaya been ready to
extend to labor, whether of body or brain*,
and to cultivated and emulout men of
every condition and country.
