After nn absence of nearly two years,
I return to The Courier, where I had
spent so many pleasant hours. The
absence has not lessened the kindly
feelings I entertained towards its read
ers, nor depreciated my sense of the
many graceful and* grateful acts of
kindness and courtesy bestowed hy
them upon me and mine.
As I carried away with me only feel
ings of pleasantness, so I return with a
heait brimming with good will and
friendliness towards all.
If lean merit in the future something
of the kind appreciation I have re
ceived in the past, I can ask no bettor

DEATH OK VICIS-P RESIDENT
, IIJ4HBLY-"WILSON.
Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, has
been for tho past twenty years one of
the most prominent political men of
the country. He was what is called a
“self made” man, and his success in
life should bo an encouragement to
young men in indigent circumstances.
It shows how a young man, however
poor, may succeed if he only has the
energy and will to make the necessary
effort. Energy, perseverance, candor
and honesty of purpose were his lead
ing characteristics. Raised in the
midst of New England Puritanism, he
constantly drank in the spirit of meddle
someness, which is so prominent in that
religion, and hence, by force of educa
tion and surrounding influences, nat
urally became an abolitionist, and his
strong advocacy of nnti-slavery meas
ures gave him that popularity which
carried him to the high political posi
tions ho attained.
Since the war, he has opposed many
of the measures of tyranny and op
pression proposed by his party, and for
tho last few years has been a conserva
tive Republican. The following bio
graphical sketch we clip from the Nash
ville American:
He was born at Farmington, New
Hampshire, Feb. 16,1812,,'and was con
sequently going on his 64th year when
he died.
His parents being extremely poor
lu was apprenticed at 10 years of age
to a farmer in his native town, with
whom he continued 11 years, during
which period ho was sent to school
at irregular intervals, amounting in all
to about 12 months. He early formed
a taste for reading, and from a private
library in the neigh orhood borrowed
and read on Sundays and in the even
ing by fire-light and moonlight, in the
coiuse of his apprenticeship, nearly
1,000 volumes,chiofiy of history and
biography. On attaining his majority
he quitted Farmington, and with all
his possessions in a pack on his back
walked to Natick,Mass., where ho hired
himself to a shoemaker until he had
learned his trade, at which he worked
for two years, when, having accumula
ted some money, ho returned to New
Hampshire and studied for a while in
the academies at Stafford, Wolfsborough
and Concord. His plan of education
was cut short by the insolvency of the
person to whom he bad intrusted his
savingsj and-he returned to Natick and
resumed work as a shoemaker in 1838-
In 1840 he took an active part in the
presidentnl canvass, and made upward
of CO speeches in behalf of Gen. Harri
son, the Whig candidate. In the next
five years ho was three times elected a
representative from Natick to the Leg
islature. and twice a State Senator
from Middlesex county. In the Legis
lature he was soon known as an active
and’zealous opponent of slavery, and
in 1845 he was selected in conjunction
with the poet Whittier to carry to
Washington the great anti-slavery pe
tition from Massachusetts against the
annexation of Texas. In the same
year he introduced in the Legislature
a resolution declaring the unalterable
hostility of Massachusetts to the further
extension and longer continuance of
slavery in America, and her fixed de
termination to use all constitutional
and legal means for its extinction. He
supported this resolution in a speech,
which was pronounced by the leading
anti-slavery journals to be the fullest
and most,‘comprehensive on the slavery
question that had yet been made in
any legislative body in the country,
and it was adopted in the House by 93
majority. Ho was a delegate to the
Whig National Convention of 1848,
and on the rejection of anti-slavery
resolutions by the convention he with
drew from it and took a prominent
part in organizing the Free Soil-party.
He purchased at this time the Boston
Republican, a daily newspaper, which
he edited for two years. Id 1849 he was
chosen chairman of the Free Soil State
Committee of Massachusetts, a post
which he actively filled for four years.
In 1850 and again in 1851 he was
chosen a State Senator, and during
both terms was president of the Senate.
In 1852 he was made president of the
Free Soil National Convention at
Pittsburg, and chairman of the national
committee of tho patty. In the same
year he was the Free Soil candidate
for Congress in the 8th district of
Massachusetts, where the majority
against the Free Soilers exceeded 7,500,
and failed of an election by only 93
votes.
He was elected to the Constitutional
■ Convention of 1853, not only by his
^own town of Natick, but by the town of
Berlin, and took a prominent part in
the deliberations of that body. In the
same year he was the Free Soli candi
date for Governor, and was defeated.
In 1855 he was elected to succeed Ed
ward Everett in the United States Sen
ate, and soon after taking his seat mude
a speech advocating the repeal of the
fugitive slave law and the abolition of
■lavery in the District of Columbia and
in the territories. For a brief period
in 1855 he was associated with the
American party; but on the adoption of
a pro-slavery platform by the national
council of that party, he withdrew from
it and took an active share in organiz
ing the Republican party on the basis
of opposition to the extension of slavery.
When, in May, 1856, Mr. Summer, his
colleage, was assailed by Mr. Brooks of
South Carolina, Mr. Wilson, in a speech
to the Senate, denounced the act as a
“Brutal, murderous and cowardly as
sault.” For this he was challenged by
Mr. Brooks, and declined to accept the
challenge on the ground that duelling
is a barborous practico which the law
of the country has branded a crime, but
stated at the same time that he believed
i i the right of self-defense in its broad
est sense. During the four following
years Mr. Wilson took part in all im
portant debates in the Senate, and made
elaborate speeches on Kansas, the
treasury note bill, the expenses of the
government, the tariff, the Pacific rail
road, and many other topics. HiH
speech in defense of free labor, in reply
to Senator Hammond of South Caroli
na; Marsh, 1859, attained an immense
circulation through the free States. In
January of the same year the Massa
chusetts Legislature re-elected him to
the Senate by nearly a unanimous vote.
On the assembling of the Senate in March
1861, he was made chairman of the
committee on Military Affairs, a post
which the civil war rendered one of
unprecedented labor and responsibility.
In this capacity he introduced and car
ried through Congress, during the extra
session of 1871; the acts to authorize the
employment of 500,000 volunteers, to
increase the regular army to reorganize
the military system, and vurious oth
ers of nearly equal importance. It was
said by Gen. Scott that he did more
work in that short session than all the
chairmen of the military committees
had done for twenty years; and in a
published letter, dated Jan. 27; 1862,
Cameron, the Secretary of War, says oi
him: “No man; in my opinion, on the
whole country, has dono more to aid
the War Department in preparing the
mighty army now under arms.” In
the regular session of 1861--62 Mr. Wil
son introduoed the bill abolishing
slavery in the District of Columbia,
and also the measure for abolishing
the “black code.”
During the war he introduced many
measures to organize and develop the
military resources of the North and de
livered numerous speeches at various
places in support of the Union cause.
He was again elected to the Senate in
1865, and re-elected in 1871. In the
summer of 1872 he was nominated
Vice President by the Republican Na
tional Convention, with Gen. Grant at
the head of the ticket, and both were
elected by a largo majority of tho elec-
torial vote. It has been given out re
peatedly that Mr. Wilson has recently
had Presidential aspirations, which was
doubtless truo, so that his death redu
ces the number of Republican candi
dates. Always a pronounced Repub
lican since that party was organized,
for the last year or two the moderate
and conciliatory tone of his sentiments
and utterances toward the South had
elicited deprecatory comment from the
extreme wing and organs of his party.
But that should be, and ho doubtless
received it so, a compliment rather
than otnerwise, for he more than once
took, pains to reiterate his views, and
■harnly rebuked the extremists who
cared more for party than for country.
For three or tour years he had been
engaged on a history bearing on the
rise of the “Slave Power,” but leaves
the work uncompleted. Whatever be

The Third Annual Convention.
At the last Convention of this Asso
ciation, held at Richmond, Va., Decem
ber 1st, 1874, it was decided that our
next place of meeting should be Chi
cago, Ill., at such time as the Executive
Committee might elect. After due con
sideration, it has been decided to issue
the call for the Convention to assemble
at Chicago, Ill., on Wednesday, the 15th
day of December, 1875.
Within a few years steam and elec
tricity have greatly extended the bound
aries of commerce, and the question of
transportation has become all important.
The producer, the manufacturer, the
merchant and the consumer are all inter
ested to a greater extent than is gener
ally realized. How important, then,
that our transportation system should
be thoroughly understood and equitably
adjusted. The bringing together of
trained minds from every department
of commerce and agriculture for the
consideration of this great question
cannot but result in good. Indeed, the
previous Conventions which have been
neld, although considering the question
in its preliminary stages, and necessa
rily in a crude and elementary manner,
have inaugurated a work which in its
educational features alone is of ines
timable value. As it is a subject which

Senator Ferry of Connecticut.
Our dispatches announce the death
of this senator at his residence in Con
necticut. Like the late vice-President
he had been in failing health during
the last two or three years, and no one
in Washington was probably Bur-
prised by the announcement of his
death:
He was born at Bethel, Connecticut,
in 1823. Choosing the profession of
law he settled at Norwalk, a prosperous
city of his native state. He first entered
Congress in 1859 as the representative
of the fourth district, coming as a re
publican from a republican district. In
1861 he entered the army as the colonel
of a volunteer regiment, and in 1862
was appointed a brigader general. In
1867 he was elected a senator of the
United States, and in 1873 was re-elect
ed, greatly to the surprise of the people
of his state. He was not the choice
of party in the legislature. The caucus
had rejected him, but when the joint
ballot took place it was found that his
friends had united with the democratic
members to defeat the nominee of the
caucus, who was, it we remember cor
rectly, none other than Joe Hawley,
general traveling agent for the centen
nial exhibition. He generally acted
with the republican party despite the
manner of nis election, but none of the
extreme and dungerous measure of the
administration received his support. In
several instances he did not hesitate
to denounce the majority in connec
tion with measures dictated by a feel
ing of proscription and hate.
The death of Mr. Ferry, the defeat
of the Ames party in Mississippi and
the election of Mr. Marr or some other
good democrat in Louisiana, will add
three more senators to the iaoreoifcig
thought in this section of the public democratic strength in the senate cham
career of the departed statesman, there
are very few who will not accord to him
honestly of purpose, and an earnest
zeal in promoting what he considered
the welfare of our common country.
CHEAP TRANStPOHTAriON CONVEN.
TION AT CHICAGO DECEMBER 15
We publish to-day a call for a con
vention at Chicago on the 15th of De
cember. ThiB is an adjourned term of
the convention held in Richmond, Va ,
last December.
Cheap, or water transportation, is to
be the grand object of consideration,
and the Windham Report will probably
bo the basis of discussion. It is very
important that Georgia should be fully
represented, and we are informed that
Gov. Smith will fully discharge his
duty in this matter. But Rome has a
deep and lively interest in this matter,
and she should have an able representa
tion. It is probable that transportation
ill not exceed half fare, and suitable
persons should be selected in time to
make the necessary arrangements. Read
the call for the convention in another
column.

It is with profound sorrow that the
president has to announce to the peo
ple of the United States the death of the
vice president Henry Wilson,who died
in the capital of the nation this morn
ing. The eminent station of the de
ceased, his high character, his long ca
reer in the service of his state and of
the union ; his devotion to the cause of
freedom, and the ability which he
brought to the discharge of every duty,
stand conspicuous and are indelibly
impressed on the hearts and affections
of the American people. In testimony
of respect for his distinguished citizens
and faithful public servant, the va
rious departments of the government
will be closed on the day of the funeral,
all the executive mansion and all the
departments in Washington will be
dropped with badges of mourning for
30 days. The secretaries of war and

rendered to the memory of one whose
virtues and services will long be borne
in rcolleetion by a grateful nation.
