Louis Joseph Papineau, the lesurgent Lender of Canada, A telegram from Canada, dated in Montreal yes- terday evening, announced to us last night that the Hon. Louis Joseph Papineau died at his residence, Montebello, in the New Dominion, on Suuday, the ‘24th inst, Mr, Papinean had attamed the eighty-third year of his age. He was a very remarkable man, pursued & marked and ‘nost prominent career in public life, endeared nis reputation and memory to millions of people, American and transatlantic, and succeeded in writing his name indelibly in the history of the day. Louis Joseph Papineau was born near Montreal, where his earchly career has just been terminated, in the year 1787, an era of quick thought and poli- tical progress, when the mind of the masses was being gradually illumined with the spark-light of rational freedom. He came cf a very respectable parentage, His father was a notary public and legisiator. He (the elder) was returned to a seat in the first Legislauve Assembly of Lower Canada which met after the establishment of the constitu: tion, which was perfected in the yoar 1791, Mr. Papineau valued the gift of a son and heir highly, | and watched over the infant days of his child with the fondest and most scrupulous attention, The boy was removed to a school in Quebec at an early age. | Here he was educated with care, and acquired ‘aq variety of useful knowledge in his very first years. Passing from school young Papineau studied law. Ie was admitved to the Canadian bar in due time, and with honor. He never practiced his profession. Louls Papineau entered public life at the age of twenty-one years, He was elected a member of the Lower Chamber of the Canadian Par- Mament in his twenty-second year, His legislative career gave great satisfaction to his constituents, while his parliamentary tone and bearing earned for him an honorable distinction among his col- leagues, accompanied by an excellently favorable reputation with bis countrymen at large. Young Papineau was even then a man of the people. In the year 1814 he succeeded his father as one of the Parliamentary doputies of Montreal. The force of his mind had been felt and its power completely acknowledged by his co-legisla- tors of every shade of party. He was a political leader of power and note. He was clected Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies in the year 1815. Louis Papineau had chosen his public position even before this honor was conferred on him, He at once ae- ciared himself for the radical reformors, and imme- diately assumed, by the universal and cordial assent of the members, the leadersnip of that organization in Canada. By this action Papineau attracted the special notice of the British Colonial Executive. The local otticials sounded the note of alarm. It re-echoed in Downing street. The English Ministry resolved that this growing power ef the American colony should be neutralized. The Cabinet had estimated its strength and resolved that it could not be “stamped out.” Lord Dalhouste was Governor General of Canada atthe time. Acting in accordance with instructions forwarded to him by the Colonial Secretary 1n London, His Excellency “commissioned and appointed” Louis Joseph Papineau a member of the Executive Council of Canada, The youthful radical was Bot taken by the royal bait, He quictly placed the commission in his pocket and continued his active, and now alarming, opposition to the Angio-Canadian government, The idea of Colonial consolidation was adopted by the English Cabinet in the year 1823, Act- ing in accordance with its promptings the agents and representatives of the Crown took pains to form an “English party” in Canada, The members of this organization wore exceedingly loud in their professions of loy- alty. They were “more English than the English themseives.” Moved from the home centre of au- thority they aimed at accomplishing a union of the Upper and Lower Provinces of Canada. The Cana- dian people—a very large portion 01 them, at least— were noi easily hoodwinked ag to the intent, aim and general object of the movement. An honest, spirited and most strenuous Opposition was decided upon. The patriots looked to Papineau for advice and lead, and Papineau did not disappoint the people. He at once associated with himself an active Canadian agitator, Mr. Neilso, Pub- lic meetings were held and resolutions passed denouncing Provincial consoli+ dation plan, Fortified by the approving voice of the people Papineau and Neilson accepted tne mission to London, in order that they should personally Tremoustrate wita the royal Cabinet against the Union measure. Papineau was received in the British metropolis with much honor by the representatives of the then ifant radical party in Great Britain, The law compelled them to speak with “bated breath,” to be sure, but their expres- sion in hy edd of the Canadian radicals was not & whit less fervent and sincere at that moment than ts that of their sons and brethren to-day, when they advocate his principles to the extent of a universal emancipation from the power of the British Crown and the abolition of the throne itself. Papineau’s mission to London was not successful, aud he returned to Canada after a short absence, He was re-elected lo @ seat in the House of Par- Mamentary velegates in the year 1827, Upon the assemblage of the body he was again chosen its Speaker. Lord Dalhousie, acting for the Crown, refused to contirm the choice of the Parliament. Members retused to give way. His Excellency ad- journed the session. By such exercise of an arbi- trary executive technicality the Governor General of Canada succeeded in obstructing the fulfilment of the wishes of the people for a season. He did Dot triumph over the popular will, however. The British [ahead approved of His Lordship’s action, but the Ministers did not by any means relish the aspect of afairs which prevailed in Canada in consequence. Dalhousie was re- moved from the seat of power in tne colony and Sir dames Kempt, a distinguished oiicer, appointed in his place. ‘rhe government of Sir James Kempt having been duly installed Louis Papineau was admitted to the legislative seat in the year 1828, his countrymen having been deprived of his Parliamentary services— in fact, disfranchished—during a period of twelve months, Louis Papineau’s mind had become soured. He resented the treatment which he recetved trom the Crown of England bitterly, He became convinced, against the ee, of his good and philan- thropic heart, that Britain im her policy defines at times a fixed centre round which an official trine draws a circle which ‘.rath can never enier,’’ Roused by the i sult which had been offered to the Canadian people 1n his person, he assumed an avtitude of defiance to- wards the Crown. He denounced the tmpcrialism of Engiand in language which could not be mistaken, Many of his more intimate political associates be- came alarmed at his energy. They feared the con- sequences. Papinean persevered in his course not- withstanding, and found himseif rewarded by the warm support of a majority of the inhabitants of Lower Canada. He vecame their appointed agita- tor, and atmed sincerely to become their liberator. He drafted with his own nand a list of the public rievances of Canada. In this paper he tormaliy indicted the British government, in the name of his countrymen, for neglect, mismanagement, persecue tion anid contempt of the vox popii, It was a formi- davie document, embracing as many as ninety-two charges or counts, These counts were published in the shape of resolutions. They were introduced to the Legislature by M. Bedard, ard became known to the people as the 3 ty two Kesoluuons—a sort of colonial Magna Charta. Papineau supported the ninety-two resolutions warmily in the Pariiament. His energy was fruitless for available effect within doors, He thea resolved ona course of general outdoor agitation, and set forth at once on a “monster mecting’’ tour of ex. planation and argument. Ho travelled the country, urging hs hearers at ail points to a “coustitutional resistance’ to the English authority in Canada. ie advised the adoption of @ resolve tor the breaking off of commercial intercourse with Great Britain, and pointed significantiy to the former exampie and resent position of the United States of America, He urged the colonists not to vote subsidies for the supbort of the executive government for a period longer than stx months, ‘1iis latter measure was ee in the Colonial Parliament during the session of 1s Great Britain had again changed her Governor General for Canada. Earl Gosford administered the atlairs ol the Coiontal government. His lordsht vetoed the Subsidy Term (six months) bill whic: had just been passed by the Legisiature. He efaced it promptly, His Exceilency Went stilt furtier; he decided to dispense with the advice aud assistance of a Colonial Parliament 1 (oto, and, gouse- quently, dissolved the Assembly sine die, ‘lhe British government forced matters to a crisis in Lower Canada by this Cromwellian stroke. Papineau made the most of the opportunity, He urged the tact that while the other provinces were conciliated by royal favor and government conces- sion, Lower Canada was insulted and aggrieved through design, His words afforded a powertnl impulse to the public agitation, He warned tle people against the consequences of the divide et mopera plans of vetr rulers, He spoke in all the leading parishes, and Lora Gosford was burned in eMigy trequentiy at the close ol the orations. Fresh fuel was added to the popular dame hourly, Government resorted to measures Of postive re- pression of the Papineaa movement by force, There trial, Roy a: prociamations piaced Papimeau with Dis More immediate adherents outside the sheiter of the British constitution, They were declared contumacious towards the Crown, Ant dangerous to the peace and dignity both of the people ana the Sta'e. Overt acts followed. ‘The Canadian liberals took up arms. Papunean did vot approve of the adoption of this extreme step at such a moment. He addressed an imanense public assemblage on tie 230 ot October, da the year 1897, and impressei on Nts hearers the actual necessity which existed for the onservance of a more prudent, sober-minded anc reaily eifectuat “} course of action, He tiea propuauies tle renark= & were summary arrests and imprisonment without | able sentence, “Constitutional and peaceful resist. @nce will alone be available inCanada.” His words of advice were disregarded by the multitude, and the meeting finally adopted the firebrand and in- flammable Canadian manifesto, termed the “APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.” The great agitator was thus, by his presence at the | Meeting, carried suddenly far beyond the measure of his first public intention, He was amongst the | Canadian revels. He did not shirk the responsibil- ity. Placed in rebellion, according to the reading of a Briush proclamation and English law, Papineau remained with the rebels, He took uo part in the subsequent military or field operations of lus com- panions, Papineau was proclaimed a trattor notwithstand- i ing. A Warrant was issued for hia arrest, He was H charged with high treason; and aigh treason against the British Crown was, as he knew, punishabie with eath, at the option of the monarch. He was true to the people and thetr standard notwithstanding. Engagements were fought vetween tho royal forces and the Canadian insurgents at St. Denis, st. Charles | and St. Eustache during the months of Novemper and December, 1837. They resulted fruitiessly for the cause of revolt in Canada, The futility of an armed Colontal resistance to British power was de- mounstrated, Papineau determined on exile. He journeyed from his home and sopght refuge in the Upited States, From this country he travelled to France, where he was well received and attracted much nouce. Here he resumed his itterary pursuits with profit and effect, leading a quiet ani contented life. ie Was a very vigorous writer, as Was proved by is published letters in defence of nis conduct. The union of the two provinces of Canada was effected by legislative enactment in the year 1840, The English government signalized its approval of the measure by the issue of a royal general amnesty for political offences in the colony. Under tnis Pa- ineau was permitted to return to his native coun- ty. He was still exceedingly popular, but steadily refused to avail himself of it3 advantages or profits. He declined the honor of an election to the Cana- dian Parliament, retired gracefully and gradually {from public life, prepared himself to meet the in- evitable end, and has just now passed to his eternal account at the venerable age of cighty-throe years, N. W. Gardiner, of Elmira. The abovesnamed gentleman, one of the oldest and most successful merchants of Elmira, N. Y., died at nine o’clock yesterday forenoon tn that city, Mr. Gardiner had been a resident of Elmira for about forty years, and was universally respected by the whole community, He was sixty-two years of age at Lhe time of his decease, FIENDISH OUIRAGS5 BY NEGROES. Crhno in West Virginin—Arrest of the Vil- Iains—Judge Lynch Thwarted. ° RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 25, 1871. Tam tn receipt of a report from Greenbrier county, West Virginia, giving the detaus of a most diabolical outrage which occurred in the township of Pales- tine. It seems that @ man in the employ of Mr. George V. Perry had a fdimculty witn Mr. Lewis F. Watts, in which Watts was wnipped, Watts then employed two negrocs and a white man to go to Perry’s at night time for the purpose of heating nis antagonist, The white man remained in the road and the negroey knocked at the door and were admitted by Mr. Perry. Tho man they were after stepped behind the door as it was opened, and the negroes, not secing him in the room, went up stairs in search of him. As soon as they started up stalrs he sprang out and ran to the railroad for assistance, The ne- groes, after searching in vain for him up stairs, came down ad fell upon Mr. Perry and his young son and beat them fearfully. They then seized Mrs. Perry, threw her on the bed and tied her by the hatr to the bed, after which they brutally outraged her person. The ficnds then attempted to outrage a little girl only twelve years of age, doing her the most serious injury in their hellish efforis. Mrs, Perry in her struggles to escape had nearty all her hair pulled from her head by the roots, but she finally succeeded and fied to a neighbor’s in her night clothes for protection, The man who had gone for as- sistance returned with oihers and captured the offenders. They then went to Wall’s and ar- rested him and his son, and kept them secure until next day. The news spread rapidly, and the people flocked in with guns, determined on lynching all the guilty parties, These, however, were secured in a strongly butlt house, so that they were not reached, although desperate efforts were made. They were tried and sent to the Monroe Jat!, where they re- main securely guarded. WEATHER REPJRT. OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, Wasuineton, D. C., Sept. 26—1 A. M.

Trlal of Major Hodge—A Technical Plea of “Not Guilty” to be Entered, ‘The trial of the defaulting army paymaster, S, Ledyard Hodge, will convene to-morrow, at twelve o'clock M., at Fort Mcllenry, Baltimore, and most of the oflicers that are to compose tho court martial are now at the fort. William Schley, the eminent Baltimore lawyer, will appear as counsel for Major Hodge, but it is understood that It 13 not the mten- tion of the prisoner to set up any technical defence, but that a plea of “Not guilty’? will be entered, merely to allow certain facts to be brought to the notice of the Court in relation to the embezzlement, It having been stated that Major Hodge spent largo sums of the money taken from the government upon himself and family in luxurious living, it will be the especial object of the statement of facts to be submitted to deny these allegations and snow that not one dollar of the funds taken from the govern. ment was ever appropriated to the maintenance of his family tn any manner whatever. The statement Will, it {3 understood, give the speculations in detall, beginning with the first, In 1864, and extending up to the time the illegal transactions were brought to light. Much feeling ts mant.ested by the friends of Major Hodge who are here, and it is alleged by them that it was not the desire of the prisoner to have any defence made whatever, but for the grati- fication of his wife and three little children, wno are now here. Mr. Schley will appear merely to make a plain statement of facts in relation to the em- bezzlement, and not for the purpose of preseating any technical defence. There are, however, certain legal questions that have never before been pre- sented tn connection with @ trial by courts marttal, as to how far their authority can go in panishing military prisoners, That, tt is understood, may be presented with much force. Without the authority to prevent specific statements that will be presented, it 18 affrmed that there may be some developments in the trial of this important case wholly unexpected. The friends of Major Hodge seem to think that he has gone so far in his contrition and by the surrender of atl his private fortune, including his wife’s dower, that he has done too much, and there will probably be coasiderable of an effort made by them to make the best showing possible, notwithstanding Major Hodge himself does not desire to interfere in the least with the course of justice, He seems perfectly resigned to his fate, whatever it may be, and seems not to care the least for himself, bui oiten speaks with great emotion of his wife and children, left penniless by his acts. He remarked to a friend that tf they could “shoot htm tt would be to him a blessing.’’ He 18 In close confinement at the fort, and 1s per- mitted to see but few friends, A Treasury Leek Stopped. For many years past the Treasury Department has allowed collectors of customs oue per cent comnus- ston for disbursements of mouey on account of tne Marine Hospital service. The limited appropriation made by Congress aud the diminished receipts from the hospital tax have made it absolutely necessary to curtall expenses on every site, It was recently dis- covered that there was no authority of law for allowing the commission above mentioned, and Secretary Boutwell to-day directed that the same be discontinued, to date from July 1, 1871. No More Steambout Homicid: Application was made to-day by parties residing in St. Louis for permission to run at their own risk a ferryboat calied Carrie, which has recently been condemned by the steamboat inspectors, The Trea- sury Department decided that it had no authority to grapt permission for a steamer to run after having been refused a certificate by the inspector of steam vessels, Tho owners merely desired to use the boat in freignting wood for their own use, but even with the disposition to stand the result of an explosion the government does not feel justified tn sanctioning this species of murder.
