It is only a few weeks since the Secretary lost a brother, a short time after Mrs. Blaine bad lost a sister. Young Mr. Blaine was an able attorney and rendered valuable assistance to the Secretary of State dur ing his short oflieial career. In the year lKH'.l Jiptjre Lynch caused the execution of 17" people in the United States, and i:W of these were in the Southern Statea. This is a black record for the South, ruled by w hite men alone, w here negroes are not allowed even to vote. If this is the law and order of a community ruled by m bite men, it might be a good idea to see what kind of record could lie made where all the citizens are allowed to take part in the povernmeat. All the mugwump maundering.? and democratic trumpeting) in behalf of free trade disguised as ' tariff reform" can not alter or do away with the fact that nnder our present protective system a day' work in any one of a hundred branches of industry brings to the man who performs it a compensation which represents more food, clothing, and fuel than can be obtained by a similar day's work in any other civilized country on the globe. The Lmcaster .New Era calls attention to the singular fact that since ttie organi sation of the Kt-publicaif party it ha not chosen a candidate for Governer from a single county that was then Re publican in politics, or that gave the candidate a majority of its votes. Cur tain, from Centre ; Geary, from Cumber land ; Jlartranft, from Montgomery ; lloyt, from Lu.ertie ; and Beaver, from IVutcr, were all from Democratic coun ties. Tut new Ut-public of Brazil has taken on advance step in regard to citizenship which it may regret in the future. It lias issued a decree declaring all fnvign ers residing in Brard on November 13, ISS'.i, citizens of the republic, except on declaration to the contrary made before the proper municipal authority within nix mouths after the publication of the decree. When the republic of Brazil becomes as opular as that of the United States, it may not care to have all for eigners recognized as full Hedged citizens the moment they land and begin to Bit Hvuver to run the government. Tiik majority end minority reports of lle committe appointed by the Legisla ture of West Virginia t act op3n the iuliernatorial contest are in, and may be expected to be made the subject of pro tracted debate, though a Democratic majority in both houses hardly ran be expected to do less than to vote for the aeating of the IVtnocratic claimant. It oeldom is otherwise in any Northern rtat where the DenirK-ratic party has a majority ; it never is otherwise in a southern Mute. But the debate will form part of " a campaign of edu.wtion," the final results of which can not le ascertained until the next election. It mill be strange if the Republican party do not carry the next Iegislature of West Virginia by etich msjorities as will put it out of the owe of any cabal to thwart the wishes f the sople as expressed at the ballot. There irj ictories that are worse than defeats, and such the victory won by Governor Fleming in the name of I be IVnKKTacy may prove to be. " Tai rv. Pension" this is what some Democratic journal delight to designate the ensions granted to (lie men whose courage and endurance during the great tn. war of modern times preserved this nation. Is it not outrageous? The writer remem!'1- quite w ell the intense anxiety lin t as in every Northern community during the nr to bave tbe-e soldiers enlist. Notaithstacdingtlie iid-io-.y of the war, the North. Kue for a few days at a time, was free of its horrors. War was kept within the Suttier.i .States. In the North business was brisk, the op portunities for making u.onfy were many, and the war fell bcavi'y upon the eopleonly Israiisesone bad to go South to fight. When a euilicient number did not enlist they vt-re forced to go by meats of the draft. But hat munifi cent promises were made to those who would go. They and their ftinuks were to be provided for letter than if tl.cy remained at home and took their cl.arcrs in the race f r fortune. Every Ijody ho is old enough ieaien.be rs these proniises. And they re not forgotten. Bat it has lately become the fashion to discredit the "soldier who went to the front and won the battle, by sneering at him when he applies to have this pledge made good. And we say again that it is out rageous. When the war broke out we were but thirty millions of js-oplc. a id in nearly one half of the States human slavery existed to make us blush every time the Declaration of Independence was read ; the war was suppressed, slav ery was abolished, and to-day, only a quarter of a century after, we number sixty-live millions of people, ail free, and the greatest nation of which the world has any record. And this is so because the soldier fought for it. It would not have been so if be had not fought. Should not, therefore, the promises that were made to him in the nation's ex tremity be made good, and should not the sneers cease, particularly frvn those w ho were accounted unionists during the war? From those whose relation to that struggle was fitly designated by giving them liie name of one of the most vene mons serpents, nothing else than abuse of the soldier is expected. IhrrMury Tflfgrnjih. Some Telling Truths About Negro Emigration. From the Sew York Mull ami Expr.-i. Thurs lay's debate in the Senate on sl-na'or Butler's bill to provide for the emigration of negna-s to Africa was one of the liveliest and m'wt earnest that Imve occurred thus far this winter. Mr. B;it:er's bill, in brief, pro vides for the appropriation of several mil lions nf dollars to pay for the age and tenijorary siipiKirt of negroes w liowish to leave this country for Africa. He argued in lavor of it that two alien races cannot live peaivably together in the same country when bolh have the same political and civil rights ; and he urg-tl. w ith an appejimnee of belief, that if the government w ould do its duty by the negro l.e would " illumine the Dark Continent of his jatl.ers with the light of Christianity and law." How he could do this if, as Mr. Builer asseried, he always retrogrades in civilization it left to himself, and is actually retrograding now in the Southern Ma'e-. the Senator from South Carolfua did not eij.iain. The distinguished author of the Hamburg massacre, w ho now h--s as the friend o the negro and the wou'd be aponlejof Afri ca, was answered by Senators Hoar and Blair so completely and conclusively that wc doubt wheihereven Jii inbtumion wid lie eijual to the tak of urging his Li,! any fur ther. As for the assertion that the two ri ces, given eonal civiPaud p ililical rights, cannot live jieaeeably together, said Senator Htr, it cannot be proved, for the trial has never been made. The w hiles have never, since eipial rights were conferred upon the negro, tried to live peaceaiily w ith him. If the assertion were true, he added, then the iH-claration of lndendence was a lie : then the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of every American Slate rested on rottenness ; then was the Christian reli gion, which taught humanity, i.piaiity, atid thai " (iod made of one blood all nations of the earth," but a solemn mockery, a solemn falsehood. Senator Blair carried the war, if not into Africa, at any rale into the enemy's country by asserting that if, instead of exporting eight million colored people, there were ten thousand white people exporled there and kept there, the whole ditlieuliy would be settled ; and that the diilicullies of the race problem existed in theexcited imaginations and ineradicable prejudice of a few w hite men, not between the races themselves. Ed ucation, uot emigration, is the only remedy for present evils. It is really di!!b'ult to take seriously such propositions as those made. 8p;arently in all earnestness, by Senator Butler and Senator Morgan ; and yet, as we hupen to know, they really represent the sentiment, if not the mature thought, of a very large number of person in the Southern Slater. The " rid ing race" in thuee states lay dow n as an ax iom, to begin with, that, as !?enalor Morgan said the other djy, if the negroes remain, there is no middle grouud between marry ing them and murdering them ; ar.d that the former alternative is impossible. It is trouhlesjme to keep on murdering tlieie. year after yeir, and be-tides. occasionally a while man gets murdered, too ; so the " rulers " want the colored people sent away. Now, our white fellow citizens in the Slates lately in rebcllioi may as well make np their minds at once that any such solu tion of the problem as they propose is im possible, and will not he attempted ; that a majority of the people of these United States have ordained in the Consul ui ion thereof that epial civil and political rights shall be denied to none on the girmnd of rare, color, or previons condition of servitude, and mean to enforce that Constitution ; that the sooner they accept the law of the land in good faith, the wjonei the end of lheir troub les will be in sight ; and tnat the best thing they an do for themselves and hcir negro . .m.. :u I., r. . i... ..: ' KIIUW iiii-iib lit K1 nuiur III! itic piuiuuilll of all. equally, in the elei.ieu!s of knowledge and the principle of republican government.

Around the death-bed Bfre Sretary Blaine, Mrs. Blaine, his brothers Eaimons and James, and Miss Dodge. Mr. Blaine wa taken ill with a cold at bis office in the S'ate Pepartnient last Friday morning, and was so much indisposed that lie never came to his oflice afterward. At first it was thoaht that he bad only tha prevailing iiifluenxi, but his cold devclojsfd into pneumonia, which rapidly became worse. He was not, however, thought to be in a critical condition until this morning, when hi tymptoms would not yield to treat ment. Daring last nigbt be was delirious, and ail day be remained in :be same condi tion except lor abort time thi morning, when he appeared slightly better, and was conscious for a brief time. The improve ment, however, was but temporary. Hisever increased, hi breathing became more labored, and at 5 o'clock this afternoon fur the first time hi fciruily seemed to realize hi extreme critical condition. A consulta tion of physicians was held at 4 o'clock, and it was then decided that the patient was past medical aid. He contuiued to sink gradu ally afier remaining onconscious for nearly twenty-four hours, when the end came Walker Blaine was graduated from Yale College in ls7d. and studying law, received his diploma from Columbia College, New York, in 178. In ISSl, while General Gar field was on his death bed, he sent for Walker Blaine ar.d appointed him Third As sistant Secretary of State, saying that be ap preciated his ability and desired to show it. He was a young man of great natural parts, capable of able and prolonged intel lectual efTort, and be was ara-diious and de sirous of making a name in tbe history of his country for himself. It must not be forgotten that, although so young a man, be was for gome time Assist ant Secretary of State under bis lather, and that he also served with marked ability as assistant counsel on the part of the United States in the reorganized court of Alabama claims, which adjudicated cases amounting to nearly ten millions of dollars. In that capacity he was frequently brought in contact with members of tbe firm of Evarts. Choate .t Beaman and other eminent New York lawytrs, and held his owu with marvelous self siise and effect. The New York : "Walker Blaine was, and hastxen for years, his father' right hand. He has had charge of all his strictly private and confidential business, and no father ever had a more faithful or discreel con use! i or and assistant. Of nis three sons Secretary Blaine could least afford to lose Walker, the eldest, upon whom he depended almost exclusively in the many and delicate duties imposed upon him a the premier of the administration. For ten years this confidential relation has existed between Jas. G. Blaine and his son, and ac cordinir to the Matements of their intimate friends, the Secretary of Slate has never in all that time had cause to regret bis olicy of confiding impliclly in his son all matters of private and public, imptrtauoe. Walker Blaine sjwnt nearly hi entire life in Wash ington, and no man was better known or more universally popular than he among public men, Government ollleials, newsjwper correspondents, society people, and all with whom became iu daily contact. With mcii he was open, franlc, manly and fair ; with women he was gay, witty and gallant ; and though persons who were unacquainted with him were apt to sneer at him as the son of his lather, those who Knew him ad mired his good qualities and gave hita credit for being a man of . brains and standing re gardless of the fact that bis lather was a great man. ''Last night all the ladies of the house hold remained away from the reception at the White House, given in honor of the di plomatic corps, in order to be in attendance udoii tbe sick man, but Secretary Blaine was indjeed to attsnd. II; did not then realize the critical condition of his 'Son. and fell that be should sacrifice his personal feelings in order to assist in the entertain ment of the foreigners. Eirly to day, how ever, the Secretary was made aware of the dangerous state of Walker' illness, and the surprise and shock so unnerved him that he has been partially delirious all day. "The ttirec deaths in the Blaine family within the past three weeks have tiem an awful blow to tbe household, and fears are entertained that the Secretary will utterly succumb to this last sad calamity."

The cerem jnies at the Blaine mansion were private, and beyond President Harri son and Mr'. Harrison and the Cabinet members few attended. At the Church of tbe Covenan', where tbe remains were taken tbe scene was one of diep impmoiveness, and one uot likely to be forgotten. Senators, Representatives, Ambassadors, Admirals and Generals were, there assembled to pay their last tribute to the dead am of the Secretary of Slate. Secretary Blaine was visibly atlect ed. lie had thrown bis overcoit on the back of bis pew, but when ihe services began be threw it aero his shoulders and bent his head and sobbed bitterly.

One outcome of the long trial in the Cronin case has been that the Stale Bar Association at its annual meet ing, just concluded at the State capital, has declared in favor of a radical reform in the jury system of this State. Sigismund Zeisier echoed tbe sentiments of ihe association in bis address upon the subject, iu which he said : "There is no doubt that the verdict fi nally rendered in the Cronin case was not in accordance with liie conviction of a single one of the jurors. Eleven men voted for hanging and tbe twelve for acquittal and yet on the polling of the jury each member was compelled to prostitute bis solemn oatb by the declaration that the verdict rendered w as bis verdict. Attempts at jury bribing are be ing constantly made, and so long as the j unanimity of juries is required the easier can it be accomplished. " "The association declared it-self in favor of a law making the verdict of two-thirds of a jury legal in civil cases; in criminal cases the defendant to be acquitted unless two-thirds of the jury return a verdict of guilty, and that the death penalty be not inflicted unless the jury is unanimous in its verdict. A com mittee was appointed to draft a bill for pre sentation to the Legislature. Six Indians are Hunf. Fort Smith, Ark., Jan. 1G.
