Hon. Charle3 M. Crosvrell, twice Governor of Michigan, died at his home in Adrian, after ten days' illness. He leaves a widow, son, and two daughters. He was born at Newburg, N. Y., Oct 31, 1825. He was present at Jackson, Mic'x, in 1854, when the Republican party was organize! For several years he was a law partner of Judge T. M. Coo ey. After filling various municipal he was elected to the State Senate, where ho served several terms. In 1876 he was eleete l Governor, and in 1878 reelected. A New York special to a Western newspaper says: “The statement may be made upon the authority of representative members of both organizations that the union between Tammany and the County Democracy, cemented by the election of Mr. Hewitt as has been made to involve their joint support for President Cleveland’s renomination and re-election. By the terms of the compact Tammany is to send de’.e----g ites to the State and National Convention on an understanding that it will be bound by tlie unit rule. Its orators are to bow in submission, and to work zealously for tho ticket when it is placed in nominat on. There will be no bolting, trad ng, or underhand work of any kind. In short, it is well settled that Mr. Cleveland is to receive the full support of the city and State of New Y’ork in the next Democratic National Convention in so far as Tammany and tho County Democi'acy can have influence to that end. Whether Tammany is to get anything for quietly submitting to the inevitable does not appear. When, where, aud how the bargain is to bo bound has not been made known.” Louis K. Cliurcli, of tho Dakota Supremo Court, has been appointed Governor of that Territory, vice Col. G. A. Pierce, resigned. The Detroit Brickmakers’ Exchange will boycott contractors who deal with outside manufacturers. Mr. Eustis introduced a bill in tho Senate on tho 13th inst. directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to the respective owners of lauds, bouses, and tenements in the States lately in insurrection the sums of nionev received from leases or occup .tion of such property by a ency of the United States and paid into the Treasury under the prov.sions of tho a tof July 2, 1884. Air. Wilson introduced a bill almost ideuti. at with tho one vetoed by the Pres dent, to se tie titles t j the Des Mo nea River lands, and another to permit tho Santa Fe Road to bridge the Mississippi botween Keokuk and Fort Madis n. Mr. Brown presented a measure pro riding a new basis for national bank circulation. Mr. Dawes, speaking to Mr. Morrill's resolution declaring the promise of making a proper revision of the tariff at the present session obviously hopeless and impracticable, said the advancod position of the Secretary of tho Treasury on the subject of tho tariff caused apprehension and alarm in all the great industries of the land. The industries of tho country looked to the Senate Finance Committee to formal lat o a method of bringing the receipts of the Government down to tho lines of its expenditures without impairing tho development or prosperity o? those industries or diminishing tho compensat on of that labor. It was for that purpose that lie (Dawes) had introduced his resolution to that effect. Mr. McPherson, replying to Mr. Dawes, said that there were but two ways of disposing of the surplus revenue. One was extravagant appropriations and tho other was by a reduction of taxation. For himself bo was in -favor of the second alternative. He was in favor of a revision of the tariff which would not permit the accumulation of an annual surplus of $109,000,099. Ho would apply to every industry the same 1 rinciplo that has been applied to the Paterson (N. J.) silk-manufacturing industry whose raw material was admitted free of duty, and who competed with the Lyons (France) manufacturers in their own city. Why was not the same principle applied to the hatters of New York? If those 19,0)0 operatives had their raw material freo thov would flood the world with cheap hats. That was the Democratic policy, the American pdicy—tho policy which he wanted to see ingrafted in the next tariff bill. Ho was opposed to the starving of these 10,900 hat operatives in New York in order to support fifty muskrat trappers on the slioros of the Hackensack River. In the House of Representatives bills were introduced for the free coinage of silver, for the leasing of unoccupied Indian lands, to enable tho people to name their own postmasters,to admit to tho Union the Territories of Dakota. Montana, Washington, and Now Mexico, to prohibit tho appointment of Congressional committees for funerals, to pension railway postal clerks incapacitated in the service, and to grant the franking privilege to inmates of soldiers' homos. Mr. Lawler presented a resolution for the expenditure of a largo proportion of tho Treasury surplus in building war vessels and sea-coa3t defenses.
