Gun. ttamuel Cooper, who was one of the oldest graduates of the United Rtates Mil itary Academy, died Haturday at his farm near Alexandria, Va., at the advanced age of oevonty-etght years. Before the out break of the late civil war he held one of the oldest commissions in the United States Army, and had worthily filled posts of tho highest authority and responsibil ity in tho service. When tho State of Vir ginia seceded in 1861, Gen. Cooper—like Lee, Johnston, Magruder and Stuart resigned his commission and entered the service of the Southern Confederacy. His great ability and experience made him a most important accession to the military strength of the Confederate States; he was made Adjutant General, and to him wbb owing in a largo degree the organiza tion and efficiency of the Southern armies. His even temper, earnestness, elevated character, warm affections and Spartan simplicity, won him the confidence and esteem of all, and the closest friendship of many. After the close of the war he withdrew to his farm, whore he lived retired In tho simplest stye, but where ho was sought out by his many friends, who loved aud honored him to tho last..

Mayor Mcllhoriny returned Ids thanks foi tlio framed vote of Council sent him, und for the complimentary vote. 'The let ter of thanks was received. Aid. Grimes offered the following reso lution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That this body tender his Honor, Mayor S. B Cleghorn, their thanks for his uniform courtesy and kindness as our presiding officer during the present year. MAYOB CLEGHORN SAID : Gentlemen, City Council: The success of this administration Is sufficiently exemplilfed by the final report of the several committees, to which our fellow citizens are referred, as to our acts and doings during the past municipal year. The expenditures In some of the depart ments have been somewhat larger than might have been expected from the rigid economy practiced by committees; but this outlay has been necessitated by pre cautions measures, and by providential causes. I refer to the Improvement of our sewerage system, and the solid re pairs made upon the upper bridge. This does not imply a comparative Increase by either committee. Too much can not bo salt! ia praise of the committees in their laudable ambition to lessen expenses. Especial commenda tion Is due to the Finance Committee of which my successor is the able Chairman, for the energy and care they have manifested in shaping a policy which in a manner relieves the burdens of the tax payers,and preserves the eredit of the city, and while the receipts from taxes on real estate and gross sales of merchants have fallen short—confidence is unimpaired in our securities, by a prompt payment of accruing interest and a reduction of the floating debt as well as the per centum of interest thereon—this end was greatly brought altout by the substitution of new bonds for those fall ing due at par. It was the wisdom of tho Police and Gas Committee to secure economy in the ex penditures in their department by a re duction and reorganization of the force and by lessening expenses in the support thereof. They have also saved money for the City by shutting off a number of gas postsand obtaining a smaller price for those remaining. For the vigilance and promptness of the Police, the efficiency and integrity of the Clerk and Treasurer too much praise can not be given. And now, gentlemqp of the City Council, permit mo to express my thanks for the uniform courtesy I have, as your presid ing officer, ever received at your hands. And to you, fellow-citizens, I return my grateful acknowledgements for thut par tiality on your part which lias thrice hon ored mo with your confidence in this posi tion. I now retire by wishing success and offbring congratulations to my able suc cessor and his worthy coadjutors. At tho conclusion of Mayor Cleghorn’s remarks he administered the oath of office to the Mayor elect, W. H. Brannon. After whieh the old Council was declared ad journed sine die. NEW BOARD. The new board, consisting of Nuckolls, Mehaffoy, Manley, Swift, Whittle, Watt, McGehee, Andrews, Coleman, Brcwn, Cur tis and Ledsinger, were then sworn in by Mayor Brannon. MAYQR BRANNON SAID: tientlemen of the Council Having been called by a majority of the people of this city to the office of Mayor, I beg to sub mit some observations which 1 consider appropriate to this occasion. In enter ing upou the discharge of my duties, I want my fellow-citizens and yourselves to know that I shall eudeavor to administer the law faithfully, honestly, and impar tially to all classes of people who may fall under its operation. Peace and order can only be maintained by a proper observance of law, and to en sure such an observance, it Is not sufficient that good laws shall lie passed and pub lished, but they should lie enforced by just and certain penalties. It will therefore be my first duty to keep the city quiet and orderly, securing to every man, as far as possible, the full measure of his rights; but in no case to allow him to violate the rights of others with impunity. I hope that my associates of this body are not unmindful of the faet that heavy, very heavy, responsibilities rest upon us, not only as to the governing, but also as to the legislative power of the city. Coder the first, we are charged with the duty of maintaining peace; under the last, we are clothed with the power to levy and collect taxes from tho people. This should be done with such fairness and impartial ity that the burden will fall equally upon all. Justice never did. and never can, work wrong to any man. Let us, therefore, see, in the first place, not how much, but how little, money we can administer the gov ernment upon. When It la determined how little wo will require the people to pay, then In-the sec ond place so levy tho taxes that the widow and orphan will not fee! that by exempting property from taxation which Is not authorized by law—or by placing a heavier burden upon any spe cies of property tbdli it ought to bear, that the hand of power Is laid more heavily upon them than Is warranted by law or required by, justice. Do you ask me in what way the expenses of the city maybe lessened? 1 answer by such re form as the stringency of the limes and the distressing poverty of the people de mand. Dispense with every officer whose services are not absolutely needed In whatever place ho may be found. Increase the work and lessen the pay of officers until they stand upon tho sams level with those in other branches of bus iness. Act with the. same wisdom and prudence about.the public business that you do about your own, and I undertake to say (hat we will work such a change in our affairs as will give us the highest praise from all the people; more than this, we shall bo the bettor ablo to protect and presorveour commercial standing as well as more easily and promptly meet tho Interest upon our public debt, .• In conclusion ulluw me to bespeak your indulgence toward me whilst I shall preside over your body and earnest ly solicit your co-operation in all possi ble reform In our public affairs. And now with many thanks to the peo wh have honored me with their confi dence and support I am ready to take the oath of office. At the conclusion of Mayor Brannon’s remarks, Alderman Andrews moved that the rules of the old board be adopted. Alderman Curtis moved I hat the 14th rule be amended so os an Alderman can not vote upon any contract In which he Is interested. The rules of last Council Were adopted except the 14th rule, which was omitted for the present. SALARIES.

DEATH FII4MI AX OVKHDOoE OF WH.*KEY. ! coroner Lloyd’s inquest over j.hin UNDERWOOD. Yesterday at 10 o’clock, Coroner Lloyd received notice that a man had suddenly died In the guard room at tbe court house. He summoned a jury composed of tho fol lowing gentleman, and repalaed to the spot. C. K' Johnson foreman J. H. Harrison, Louis Wella, C. O. Brinson, B. F. James, J. M. Fleming, J. Joseph, C. J. Harrell, J. D. Johnston, L. J. Ryckley, T. J. Hines, After the jury were organized, they heard the following testimony; Edward Jotnes, Policeman, sworn, says: I saw deceased in the hallway of the court house; ho appeared very drunk—clothes wet—in charge of Mr. Sedbury when I first saw him. We warmed him, and placed Idm in the guard-room about 11 o’clock a. m., and about 1 r, m. I examined and found hirp dead. He had some words to say with Mr. Sedbury; he is a carpen ter, and had been drinking very hard for some time. Mr. England, with whom he used to work, says that ho knew him to be ahard drinker; never saw him until In the basement of the court-house; he said to Mr. Sedbury, “You are not going to do anything wrong?" Policemen Sedbury, sworn: McCubbins told me this morning that, deceased was sitting In a puddle of water In the court house yard. I went to him, in company with others, and brought him Into the basement of t/je court-house; ho asked me If 1 Intended to do anything wrong. This was about H o’clock; he got drunk occa sionally; I first saw him this morning; no marks of violence were apparent upon him. John St. Clair, sworn: I saw him this morning between 8 and 10 o’clock, near Watt A Walker’s corner; he was very drunk, and I avoided him. The Jury, after considering the testi mony, returned the following verdict: “We, the jurors summoned In this case, do say that John Underwood came to his death by excessive drink, producing con gestion of the brain.” Thus another victim is added to John Barleycorn’s list, and ought to serve as a warning to other men who are following his footprints. Mr. Underwood was a carpenter, and employed by Champayne A England. He was about 35 years old. “Affliction’s semblance bends not oe’r thy tomb. Affliction’s self deplores thy youthful bloom.” Died In Russell county, Alabama, on the sth of Dec., 1876, at the residence of his fa ther, Sam Vernon Laney, youngest son of Rev. S. I), and Mrs. Mary A. Laney, aged 23 years and six months. Thus has fallen in tho bloom of man hood. and in the first career of life’s du ties, one whose future was bright with a promise, leaving behind him the wreck of high hopes, and teaching a sad lesson ol the Inconstancy of all earthly prosjiects, He very early became a communicant of the P. E. Church, and the commence ment of his illness desired an Interview with his minister, to whom he gave satis factory evidence of his faith, and hopes, receiving the Holy Sacrament of the Lord’s supper, for the last time on earth. He disclosed to his father, a conviction ol his call to the Ministry, against which he had been struggling, and regarded his af fliction as a visitation for his disobedience to the holy call, resolving that if his life was spared, it should be henceforth thus be devoted. For this ond his aged parents' sake, he wished to live, but when all the tiope of life became extinct, he calmly and sweetly acquiesced in the will of God. For eight long, weary weeks of suffering, tbe patience and gentleness he exhibited was touchingly beautiful, and sweetly indicative of the holy resignation dwelling within. But a few hours before his tranquil exit, he requested his father to get the Prayer Book and read the Prayer for the Sick. At the conclusion he solemnly responded, Amen! A relative asked, tf he felt sheltered in the Rofk that was clelt to take him In. “I trust so,” was the reply. Then— “Jesus’ blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress”; And— “Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are,” were repeated to him; to whieh he an swered, “Yes, i understand—lf eel all that.’ Clear and conscious to the last, he told his father, but a short time before his death, there was one thing about his en tering the ministry: “I want you to feel that it is just the same as if I lived." “You feel that Christ has accepted you as such ?” asked his father. “Yes, sir.” was the reply; "and it will do more good, per haps, tor me to die.” When assured by his parents and his brother, at bis request, that they would meet him in Heaven, he responded with a fervent "Thank Hod l" To his absent sister and her husband he sent the some request, and charged them, with the brother present, to train their little ones to follow, too. Possessing tine mental faculties and a decided taste for literature, he had stored his mind with useful knowledge, which rendered his conversation varied, pleasing and edifying. While he will be missed 1 from the social circle, and the fireside which he was wont to enliven with his presence, the bereaved parents will have a beautiful, unfading testimony of the love and confidence he felt in Jesus as he crossed the cold stream. His end was as cairn and peaceful as the close of a lovely summer day. May all who watched around his dying pillow and witnessed the holy calm of his passing away, strive to follow his parting charge, and moet him in the Flowery Land. Cousin Berta.
