(81. Lent* Dtspateh.}

Once or twice In bis contributions to periodical literature, withiu late years, Jeremiah Ulack, has hinted mysteriously that the death of Edwin M. Stanton, tbe War Seewstary, was not wholly attributable to tbe natural

oourmof

di»-

oaaa. Tbe idea, however, was put forward in a dim, uncertain kind of a manner,

which

made

it

seem more like a sugges­

tion tlian an assertion. Black never de^taxed boldly that Htanton carae to an uimataral end by suicide, but ho wove into bia writing hero and there a blaek thread which was suggestive of remorse, -disappointment and a bitter end "What Biaek intimated so daddy, others have whispered, but in an Indefinite way. There are men aboot the National Capitol who in conversation among themselves talk frankly of Wanton's death, and the horrible circumstances attending it. These men say that al most upon tbe very ere of the merry Christmas day of 1889, by tbe stroke of a mmri&tantan made tbe term of bis ex istence only a question of hoom. At tbe time, tbe dnm instances were known to

ihres, and outmembers of tbe story of the suicide

ven below is" probably not known to a Boxen people in tbe country. It ia a matter of history that North owes mom to Stanton m,a certain 4«n*oIbrthe ibial rtsnit oft be fcivil war, than to any one man. Me was the em bodiment and moving spirit of all that was ceaselessly vigilant, tyrannical and vengeful in the fratricidal strife. Stanton would have been a prime minister in an oppressive monarcny, and as long as the war tasted be was In a position which met the craving of his peculiar nature.

aU of tbe most eventw

fu! years in American history. He ww» pwf lii purse, and broken in spirits, and now that the craved excitement was

K•

ne, he was plunged in gloom. Doubts be lived over tbe part, and tbe terrible secrete which be alone of the living knew, came back with oppressing power.

It was said be bad resumed tbe praotice of law, but it was only a saying. Old party leaders felt that he must nave a place for what he had done. When Grant came into power in the spring of 186©, Stanton was spoken of for a foreign ministry, but nothing came of it. Finally in December tne President and Congress did what they bad done for other men who had outlived their Umo --shelved tbe poor old War Secretary upon the Supreme bench as an associate justice. They had fixed bim for llfo and the country accepted it as dn assured foot. This was on tbe 19th of December. Two or three days later tbe President condescended to call on Mr. Stanton and tendered him tbe position and it was accepted. Perhaps the circumstances of the Interview rankled in the old man's bosom. He may have thought, regretfully,

at

the time when ho directed and

Grant obeyed. The positions were changed, and tbe former chief bad accepted a favor from the man he bad virtually made. No one can tell the old Secretary's thoughts, but tbe facte afford ground ibr infertmceo.

Mr. Stanton resided in a large bouse, convenient to the Departments. It was one of bis customs to be shaved at home,

very four, and tbe number of those privy and this duty was performed by a colorto the secret has not much increased ed barber, who came regularly for tbe Sdnee. Outside of the Congressional Ii-1 purpose. In Mr. Stanton's private apartbrarian, and a fow well trained trusty I ment stood an improvised chair, and to servants of tbe^sjiito^who guard se-[ these the trusty valet would erets as they aids of two or three Stanton family, tbe st

crimson streak in its wake. Bushing to tbe side of Stanton, the barber caught the razor before another stroke conld be made. H? called for help, and in a few minutes the** were gathered at tbe bedride tbe Surgeon-General, a few trusty attaches of tbe Government, and one or two members of tbe fiunlly. Tbe work bad been done however, and the life current reached. At 8 o'clock next morning Stanton was dead. How well tbe secret of his death has kept those know. Very tbe arrangements for tbe funeral were made. There was no lying in state, and fow_ looked face

With tbe habeas corpus suspended and tbe ears *f the people filled with tbe clamor of war, Stanton found no trouble In usurping powers which ill accorded with Republican principles. If tbe tinkle of Seward's bell was all that was needed to send any man in the States to Lafayette, it was Stanton who move than half of the time Inspired the ri ng. And sides there was right to his band tbe Capitol Prison, tbe murderous secrets of upon tbe ?ace~of the deceased. Tbe next

Into tbe grave with

day after his death, all that was mortal of Edwin M. Stanton waa put to rest, and with the clay was buried h» ow and tbe secrets of the war.

at the

appointed time to perform his duty. Mr. Stanton bad been, apparently, foiling gradually in health for a week, and bad become so despondent as almost to excite fears of an aberration of mind. Some idea of counteracting this seems to have been in tbe minds of the President and Congress when tbe appointment was so suddenly made and so promptly conArmed by an almost unanimous vote. Hie remedy foiled, however, of the desired effect.

On the evening of tbe 23rd of December, tbe colored valet called to stove Stanton. They were left alone in tbe private apartment, and Stanton took his seat in the chair. The barber had partially finished his task, and, laying down therasor on a little table beside Stanton, stepped across the room for some water,
