The session w as a prolonged and do-nothing one, and notwithstanding the fa1 that the LH-iuocrat came into power on the cry of retrenchment and no tax ation, was a most profligate tine; the aj propriations amounting to the vast sum of $l'lj.j,(KKVXKt, lx'ing f4',(KK),0)0 in ex cess of those of the last Congress.

Rv the I)eath of Samuel J. Tilden the Ieniocracy has lost .its ablest leader. His Ik-ath was sudden but not unexpected, for he had lieen a iaralytic for years, un able to close his liiw, unable to use his right hand, aud unable to take food without assistaui-e. Notw ithstandiiig his physical infinnities his intellect was clear and unclouded to the last. Mr. Tilden was a great railroad lawyer, a most astute politician, and a statesman of keen in sight in r-gard to both men and meas ures. The space that he occupied in the iH-inocratic party will not be easily filled, for although retired from active life for years past, he was the sage and mentor of the leading I temoerats of the country, who constantly sought his advice ami attempted to put iu force his views. Men w ill continue to differ as they have done alsmt Mr. Tildeii's political methisls, but all will admit, now tliat he is dead, that mentally he was one of the !est equipped stah-smell of his dav. Tuuot iin the medium of a convenient interview ers at the liedford springs. Sena tor Wallace has put in his bid for the fiulieniatorial nomination which is to la' disNised of in next weeks's lleniocnitic State Convention. After stating that he w ill accept the nomination if the conven tion aliould regard him as "the man to unite the IV-mocracy and bring its whole vote to the polls," he proceeded to give the jswition he formerly occupied on im portant legislation. He votetl against giving the soldiers in the field the right to vote, and he had opss.'d giving the negro the right of suffrage. He thinks the convention should make railroad dis crimination one of the issu.s of the cam paign. On the liquor question he says: "Wise legislation recognizes the habits and customs of thejieople to tie governed, and refonuation can ls-tter Ik- effected by that reci ignition than by an etia.-tment that w ill luixiiiif a dead letter. Men can not lie made moral and pure by statute. I do not lielieve that prohibition will prohibit, and I think the IX-niocracy should declare against sumptuary laws and for a license system of universal aj plication under the control of the judici ary, and without discretion save as tothe fitness of the applicants ;" and in his opinion the Republican party is going to pieces on this question. On the lalsir question lie says, '"Ikiycotts, strikes and lock-outs are nieth'sls of violence and not tif pcaie, and iyment f wages in anything but cash is a weuMu of oppn-s-sion. No men or net tif men ought to lie pi-nnitttsl to dictate tlieir control of an other's business." The Democrats of Pennsylvania, he thinks, are not for Pn tcction for the sake of pmtection, nor an they for free-trade, and had he teen in the late Congress he would have Voted for the Morrison tiill to revise (redu.-e; the tariff. Alhigether Mr. Wallace is very frank in his statement, although to our mind that very frankness shows that he doesu't consider the out look very enci Hi raging. WHISKEY SOURS. The Prohibitionists demand again tliat the Kepublicau party shall incorporate in its platform this fall a promise tliat the the licit Legislature shall submit to the jaeoplc the question tif a institutional prohibitory amendment. This was promised last year, and a majority of the Kt publicans in the last Ix-gislature trits.1 earnestly to keep their word. A small minority, however, suppli ed by all the Democratic memliers. and urg ed on by some of the Prohibitionists them selves, defeated the resolution.

The design was : to implicate (iuitral beavei in the odious , M-teni of tuiiipulsoo' store orders, which I was jroliil!t-'i by tiie u.1 of ll. In making this public.itton the 77mm has been gnissly inislctl.

Tlie:; state ments are complete and convincing and they tell the story so plainly and u fully that they leave nothing to be adiled. The first coining from the nionilieni of tlie coni uny, shows tliat it uses no such things as store orders at all ; that the wages of its workmen are paid in cali ; that what were represented as store orders are not such iu any sense, hut simply cash couions which areuid for in cash and stand for cash ; and that they are 11s.1l equally by th.ise who are emploved and those w ho are not. Follow ing this is a statement signed by even- one of the employe continuing w hat is said by the stockholders, and setting forth that Ibey liave no ground of oompluiut either as to the rate of wages or the method of yiueiit. The two together nuke the tase alisolutely ttiinplete. The process of dealing and the character of the iiai-rs are miule entirely clear by the explanation. The comjiauy established a store for the convenience of the empl.iyes, hut w hether they shall trade with it or mt is a matter wholly ojtioiia! with themselves. Their waaes are iai-l iu cash. No such things as tradennieni are known in the transactions If any one cho.iss to take a Iss.k of coupons lie can buy it for tush, and the coupons are gissl either in tra.li- or iu trash. It is simply a matter of convenience. Most liewsiiapers sell checks to iiewslHiys for wh, which .-tit-cks are g.Msl on presentation for the hiiiiilHTof t-.tpi.-s they represent. We pre sume the Tiutrt d.K-s business with newsboys in this way. The transaction of the Ilelle f mtc company w ith any purchaser of cou ns is of precisely the same nature. It ex changes the ouns for cash, and thecou sms are g.Kl for cash or fort male as the holder may prefer. To represent this as bearing any resem blance to to t.he system which ttivs lalsir ill compulsory store orders call only fa' done through a complete misapprelH-nsioii of its character.

It expired of in anition, worn out of doing nothing. Die oldest memls-rof the House had never seen such a eax-ful ending to such a feeble a reer. The all-night sessions, the msh and clatter of legislative ntachinery, the haste to Is- done with iinsrtuiit work, the sliarj. rattle of fivc-niiiiute dciuite, tlie have-taking. the .init-t lunches and slv cliku of fricn.ilv glas.scs, all were missing. The applause that foil. m.il the aiiiioiiii.vmetit of the adjourn ment sine die was f.-eble and almost juithetic. fn the House thccarlv stx-nes tonlav were a I Pn1 deal like the breaking up of a hard winter, stormy and turbulent. They were in marked contrast w ith tlioso in the Senate, w hen- then- was scanvly a ripple to disturb the placid flow of the pris-ceding. In bu t. a stranger going from the riotous hubbub hi the House to the sleepy precincts of the Sen ate would almost involuntarily iiiqtiire whosc oliscquics were iu progress and where the conist- was. Ssui after the reading of the Journal, Mr. Pnideti apicarcd at the door of the House, isuring a message from tlie President. It conveyed the intelligence that all were so anxiously awaiting that the President had approved the Sundry Civil, iH-ticieiicy and Kit it llarts.r Aipropriation bills. Many grave doubts had la-en felt concerning the fait of the latter and the aiiiiotini-cmcnCwas greeted with loud applause. It settled the question of adjournment to-day. Mr. Ihm dall asked unanimous consent to print iu the lirrwd a sjicech on his Tariff hill. Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, obj.-tcd.

Few had the temerity to attempt this with out first ctsldiiug Mr. Ilolinaii, w ho st.ssl at his post as the tHjtx?tor to tlie last moment, lb- was as iw t-rful as the President himself. Anything he did not like the looks of was promptly vetoed and that was the end of it. A single objection well stuck to was as good as a hundred.

Death Come Unexpectedly to the Democratic Sage-A Magnificent Boo ue rt to New York-Regrets '' Everywhere Expressed. New York, August 4. Ex-(Jovenior Sani uel J. Tilden died at his liomast ftreyst.tne at 8:45 o'clock tliis morning. Mr. Til.k-n had been iu very feefile lawlth Sir some time, yet his sudilen demise this morning was entirely uncx-cted. Tlie end was pratx-ful and quiet. The immediate cause of Mr. Til.leu's death was the failure of the heart, following an aecutc attack ordiarrli.ea anil nausea. There were present at the lime Mr. Til.len's tiitve. Miss (i.iuld, and Dit.-s diaries K. SimomU and Samuel Swift. Paralysis and Itodily infinnities. incident to tild age, hail rtxlo.nl Mr. TiltU-n to a mere skeleton aud his last days were marked by extreme feelileness. Tue routine of daily life for a year (last at his beautiful n-sideii.-e on the Hudson was about as follows: He usually awoke in tlie morning about 4:30 o'clock. An electric 111 at tlie head of his Insl summoned his valet, w ho gave him his ni.sli. ine.w bi. il he Usik as regularly as his f.ssl. AfterwanLs lie would lie until about it o'clock, seemingly dosing, though when his valet, thinking him asleep, approached the bed, he found his bright eyes o(eu and matching him. If he felt well he was as sisted dow n to a t o'clock breakfast, which usually consisted of milk and some rich broth. Owing to paralysis, Mr. Tilden was unable to close his lips, and his month was con stantly open. His right hand, from the same cause, was entirely useless, trembling all the time. He had not even the mweT to raise it to his mouth. His left hand wax but slightly affected by the stroke of paraly sis, and lie had the partial use of it. Iu eat ing he used his left hand to hold up his low er jaw. His faithful coiuai!iou, Miss Anna tioul.L who is the sister of the wifeof Mr. Henry Tilden, plad to his mouth every jwrtieleof f.ssl that he ate. She generully put it in his mouth with a snii. and la wns ctiahit-d to swollow it by niising his lower jaw with his left hand and putting his head liack. ISTKBBST IX Pt'MLIC AFFAIRS. While at breakfast the morning jiai-rs wen- read to him and notes made by his sec retaries at his direction of any imsirtaiit Mtint or move in the political world. After breakfast he usually went into his uttice, on the right side of the hall, w here he saw the different employes of the plaw and heard their resx-tive reports. His walk was slow and feeble, his piindyzed right leg moving with, lui.x-rtain movement. He could not stuk alsivea w hisper and his thin aud fur rowed latx- and lotKired movements evoked synqiaihctic comments from the villagers who saw him leaning 011 the anil of his valet or liisconiiaiiion. Miss Ootild. as he stcpiicd to or from the"T" that took him on tine days for a ride about the country. His men tal faculties, however, were bright and 1111 inqiairefl up to the last. He suffered much from indigestion and tw ice a week was visi ted by his physician, who often has spoken lately of Mr. Tildeii's still robust intellect. His memory wasunusally retentive and to the last he preserved the most exact methtsJ in dealing with the concerns of his house and farm. Kach .lay he talked with his busi ness managers and confidential secretary, Mr. ficorgeW. Smith, and showed a com plete acquaintance with the smallest details of his business. His medicine was administered with al most mathematical exactness and it rarely hapis-ncd that his night doses were missed at the regular time. And it was the same with his fond. Every ounce he ate was cal culated, aud weighed before it was prepanxl and set ticfore him. Rich soups in infinitesi mal quantities mere supplemented w ith small draughts of creamy milk, the latter the yield .if his famous Aldenicys and tiuernseys, which together w ith the tenderest part of the chicken or a morsal of meat, mintx-d so as to be readily masticated, made up his diet. These viands, temptingly conked und carried to his li by his attendants, frequently fail ed to rouse his aps-tite and were returned almost untastcd. It was a matter of com ment among his intimates that he should have Ihx-ii able, on so little nourishment, to sustain life at all. HOW THE EX II CAME. I For the ust four mouths Mr. Tilden has i Isx-n iu uuusually bright spirits. He used his yacht and txirriages daily and with evi j dent pleasure. Sunday morning, bow-ever, a I change was noticed. Sisin after'Mr. Tilden arose he was stricken with an acute attack : of diarrhea nausea. This lasted tiir several hours, but finally sutx-umticd -to Dr. Sim ' moils' treatment. It left Mr. Tilden very weak, however, and he was compelled to re main within d. sirs all day Monday and Tues lay. Yestenkiy aftern.sin tliere was a nx-ur-renceofthe symptoms that so greatly tlis-tn-sscd him. Dr. Simmons worked until 1 o'clock and again restored his itient to comfort. An attempt was then made to carry Mr. Tilden to his room from the sitting r. sun, iu which the attack of y- morning had come ujion him. Dr. Simmons and the valet attempted to tarry him, lint Mr. Til den preferred to walk. The two men walktxi by his side ami assisted him to the first land ing of the great staircase. He was compell ed to stop here and Dr. Simmons then no ticed the first signs oft he failure of the heart. Mr. Tilden could siarcely breathe. After a short rest, during w hich the stricken man was in great distress, he was carried to his room and put to bed. He obtained no n-lief for the heart trouble, however, and a large physician's chair was prejiared iu his bed j ctiiimher, to w hich he was removed during I the night, and with his head slightly raised : ui-on a pillow he was able to breathe. ; Dr. Simmons was not reassured, however, by this and at 7 o'clock, he disiiatfhcd a j messenger for Dr. Swift, who at once came ! tu (Jreystone. Dr. Swift entered the room j the tatieiit raised his eyes with an intelligent I appealing to tlie well-known fact of the phy 1 sit-iaii. " That lisik was ieruliar," said Dr. Swift to-day, sieaking of the otx-urreuce. As soon as I saw his eyes and the eager apixxtl they showed. 1 knew he was a dying man." A consultation was held. tint nothing could Is-done. No word was spoken by Mr. Til den after Dr. Swift's arrival. He remained breathing with some difficulty until o'cl.sk As the liautls tif tlie cl.s k approached 9 a ditl'creiH was noticed in the worn and w rinkled face, his even slowly closed and his muscles relaxed. He was dead. MKSSAtiES OF KKUKET. Washixotok. August 4. The President has sent tlie following telegram to t.ololie! Samuel J. Til.U-n, Jr., Greystone.

He i,ke with great feeling, saying : " Dtsttb is tlie withdrawal of affection and love iu the time that -need it. It is au irreparable waste. A great miud cannot he replaced.

At all the stations along the railroid be- weett Youkers and New Leiiaiion. crow .It as sembled to witness the passage of the funeral train. As the train drew near the various places the men raised their hats and remain ed uncovered until the train o.ssed by. The railroad station at New- thiamin was heavily dr.qied. It was precisely 3:45 V. X. when the train rolled up to the station. Nearly all the citizens had turned out to pay homage to the distinguished dead. Around the station the ieople gathered iu large numbers and await ed with solemn demeanor the removal of the remains to the little I'lingregaiioniilist eliureh, op)site the old Tilden lnuiicstcad. Business was almost wholly neglected. A dcatli-likestillncss prevailed while the bier was lieing carried to the plain hearse in wait ing, t'oiiveyan.x-s were also in waiting for tlie relatives and friends.

A ix ial from CumlH-rland Maryland, states that the utmost excitement prevails at the Hoffman coal shafts over a terrible accident that oc curred at .Y.m Satunlay evening. At that hour the whistle had lieen blown to quit work and the majority of the large foree sallied out togetlicr. Just as the crowd was desix-rsiug Michael Lyons, a minor, stagger ed forth from the mouth of the shaft and shouted tbat i"i men were perishing on the i:pier slojie for want of air. A large rt-scuing jiarty at omx- slarlcl to tlieir relief and made their way with difficul ty to the scene of disaster, a sHit one and a quarter miles from the mouth of the slo)-. Here the distressing sight met their cyc of i'i men lying in various attitu.les along the gallery and all asphyxiated. The men were carried to the oien air. where only a few were resuscitated, the maj ority continued in a heavy stiqier despite all efforts to resuscitate them. To-night some of them have improved somewhat but are still iu a critical condi tion, while Frank and tioorge lirotle, Miles Higgins, Peter Brady and James White are rrtaiiily dying. The aiviilcnt was caused by some disar rangement of the ventilating shaft. The smoke from the limine, not getting out through the (file, rolled luuk and envcl.xl the unfortunate men iu dense clouds chok ing and sulliicating tli.-ui all iu a few minu tes time, Morris White, one of the impris oned crew, mustered up strength enough to crush the brackets of a neighlsiring d.sir. jetting in a fresh current of air ; otherw ise the men would have all Isv.i dead long I--fore rescued.

Prohibition or Bloodshed. Jacksxis, ML Aug. 6. Hin.is txinnty, in which is situated the capital of the State, is convulsed with excitement, growing out of tlie. election to be field on August IO under the total option law passed by the last Ix-gis-latura. - , "" The blacks outnumber the whites two to one, and the Prohibitionists, finding that the bulk of them are going to Vote the "wet"' ticket, .xwcra detenu ined that they shall not exercise that privilege. An-anti-I'roliibi-tion meeting iu the county last night was resisted by a tssly of armed Prohibitionists, who intemipttxt the sjieaker to such an ex tent, denouncing him as "a liar," it-., that the hi. siting had to lie adjourned.

Vl EsBi Rti, Miss. Aug. 7. The Inhibi tion fauiimigu in Hinds county Is growing daily more ferocious, threatening serious trouble and pmtiahly blixsLshtxl. At a meet ing of Prohibitionists at Raymond, resolu tions were passed charging the liquor jwrty with endeavoring to carry the election by npicnls to the prejudices of negroes against whites, and that it was against the inten-st of the conntry that the black nice, led by a few white men should rule the county. The resolution says : Ltsiking alone to the inten-st of our county and both nnx-s inhabit ing it, we do iu solemn terrrible earnestness resolve to carry said election for the cause of Prohibition. We hereby announce that we will never stand idly by and sec w hiskey voted on iu this comity by a few w hiles. who have c.skiusoI the cause of whiskey, and the niasst-s of inisgtiiiltxi colored voters of said nullity. We aps-,d to all classes of our citi zens lmtli sexes to use every means in their iwer to carry said election. The reso lution are intcrpr-ted here to Con-shadow a policy of violent intimidation, with proliablc hl.Hslshtxl. Hen-tofore the Prohibitionist have striven to tx'inciliate the negro vote, building many hoieson it, hut retx-nt elec tions have demonstrated that the negro does not favor prohibition. A majority of the whites in Hinds county favor prohibition, and nearly all are Iicmocrats. At Kdwards Station, where the liquor party have arrang ed to hold a meeting, the Prohibitionists de clare no meeting shall I held. Reliable men ill Vicksburg stated this morning that a con siderable quantity of piudcr, buckshot and fixed ammunition has htx-u purchased here for shipment to Hants county. The AVir Jjw"WM.m. Prohibition organ, published in Hinds county, says editorially of the Riymon.l resolutions: "There may be some men who doubts that the resolutions passed at Raymond mean all they express, hut no one would doubt them who was pres ent and looked into the brave, resolute faces of one hundred and fifty of the Is-st, boldest, most .letcniiini-d men who ever set fool on the soil of Hinds county. Every precinct but one was represented, and every man there left with a dcsjx-r.ite determination that these resolutions should lie carried out." M.Mlt-nite men n-gret to see such appeals to passion. It is safe to predict that the projio sition will la- ruined by the iutciiiierance of its advocate. Party lines are entirely disre garded, Denua-mts and Republicans working together on either side. The li. 1 il.ir party change the Prohibitionists with organizing a hand of night-riders to intimidate negroes, and with breaking up a meeting We.lnes.Liy night by sending thirty armed men tliere, among whom were some peace otti.x-rs. and a preacher. The Prohibitionists make coun ter charges. A New California Senator. SVCRAMEXTII, August 3.
