HKKTCII OF HIS Ufa.
1'AIUH , May 22 2 p , m. Victor Hugo died
thin ntternocn.
The ministry will request llio chnm
deputies to adjourn ni a token of respect to
tbo memory of the deceased.
It IB reported Hint UURO bequeathed his
manuscripts to Franco nnil th&t bo left It to
the republic to select tiio burial pluco for his
remains nnd to decide as to the form of the
funeral.
Victor Jtupro's condition this morning was BO
manifestly worse that death was regarded as
certain BO take place within a few hours ,
When this becatnp known , Cardinal Gulbert ,
nrchblihop of Paris , sent specially to HIIRO'S
residence , olTorlng to visit him nnd adminis
ter spiritual niil and the litcs of the catholic
church. M. LocVrcy , the poot'a son-in-law ,
who wag in attendance at the death-bed when
the cardinal's proffer came , replied for Iluqo ,
declining with thanks the archbishop'- ) tender ,
and laying for the dying man , "Victor Hugo
is expecting death , but doss not detiro the
Rervlcos of a priest. "
The government propose n civil funeral for
Hugo at the expense of the state.
The newspapers appear in mourning this
evening. It is believed that Hnijo'fl funeral
will ba the grandest tcono in Krnnco for a
century.
Hupo passed away peacefully without suf
fering. Ilia death has caused profound emo
tion tn the capital. The president of the
chamber of deputies has requested the minis
ter of the interior to allow the cotlin to Ho
under the Arc de Trlumpho for twenty-four
hours.
victor nupro , tno great .French poet nnd
novelist of the present generation , was born In
Boaancon , February 26,1802. Being the son
of an officer whose military duties called him
out of France , ho waa carried in childhood to
Elba , Corsica , Switzerland and Italy , nnd in
1809 to Pans. Hero for two years with an ol
der brother. Eugene , nnd a girl whom he af
terwards wed. he bsgai. hia classical educa
tion under the exclusive supervision of his
mother and the care of nn old priest. Then ,
his father having been made general nnd ap
pointed major-domo to King Josheph Bona
parte , of Spain , he entered the seminary of
nobles in Madrid with the design of becoming
n pftgo to Joseph , which war , however , de
feated by subsequent events. In 1812 he re
turned to his studios in Paris. When the
emplrofcll Gen. Hugo nnd his wife separated ,
nnd Victor was thenceforth under the exclu
sive care of his father. Entering a private
academy to proyaro for the polytechnic school ,
he erincod a stronger inclination toward
poetry than mathematics , nnd his father was
persuaded to allow him to follow litera
ture na n vocation. In 1817 ho pre
sented a poem on "Tho Advantages o ! Study , "
nod afterward won thrco successive
prizes at the Toulonsa academy of Floral
Games. At the ago of 2) ho published in
first volume of "Odea and Ballads , " which
created a sensation. Two novels. "Has
d'lalanda" (1823) ( ) and "Bug.Jorgal" (1825) ( ) ,
showed his force nnd originality in prose , also
his predilection for the horrible nnd uion-
etrona which permeates his greater works. In
182B appeared his second volume of "Odes nnd
l ) llads. " About this period ho joined others
in farming a literary association , the Cenacle.
in whoso meetings literary and artistic doc
trines were donated. They also established
B periodical , La Muse Franchise. The drama
ol "Cromwell" (1827) ( ) was presented as a speci
men of the literary reforms aimed at by
the new school ; but the preface was moro im
portant than the drama itself , being a treatise
on awthfltlcs. Thenceforth Hugo was tha ac
knowledged loader of the romanclits , who
warred fiercely against the classicists , Hia
claims to this distinction were strengthened
by tha publication of "Les Orientalea" in
1828. Between that tima and 1842 he pub
lished sixteen volumes of novels , dramas and
political poems.
Having retched the highest distinction in
literature in 1811 , election to the French Acad
emy , tn spite of the opposition of the old
classical echool , ho indulged In political aspi
rations which were gratified by King Louis
Philippe , in 1815 , who mad him a pear of
Franco. On the revolution of Fobmary , 1848.
he waa elected a deputy to the constituent as
sembly und voted with the conservatives. On
his re-election to the legislative assembly ho
becaino more democratic , and in vehement
speeches denounced the reactionary tenden
cies of the majority and President Louis Na
poleon's secret policy. On the coup ( V otat of
Dto. 2,1851 , Hugo was among tlioeo deputies
who vainly sought to prosoro the constitution
nnd maintain the rights of the assembly.
For his ho was proscribed , and took ref
uge in the island of Joreoy , where ho contin
ueel hia opposition to Louta Nnpolean , pub
lishing 'Napoleon lot Petit" (1852) ( ) nnd his
bitter satires "Lcs Chautiments. " Two years
later ho was compelled , on account of some
hostile manifestation to tha French govern
ment , to remove to the island of Guernsey ,
nnd in 1850 declined to accept the amnesty
offered to political exiles
In 1P5G he published "Les Contemplations ; "
in 1651) ) , "La Legeudo de Slcclen , " nnd in
1802 , "Lea Mis arables , " tha latter simulta-
neouily In nine languages and eight cities.
"Los Miserables" is unquestionably his most
popular if not strongest romance. "Chansons
ties Hues ot doi Dais , " "Les travaillours do laMer
Mor , " and "lloramn qnl Kit" followed
respectively In 1805 , 'CO nnd 'CO. In 1809 bo
ugaln refused amnesty at the hands of Louis
Isapoleon , Ho published In the Rappel a
protest against tha plebiscite of May 8 , 1870 ,
* atifylng tha new rofonna of the empire , tbo
violence of which caused it to bo officially
condemned. After tha fall of Napoleon nnd
the proclamation of the republic Hugo returned -
turned to Paris and soon after issued an nd-
dress to the Germans , urging the formation.of
n Gsrman republic end friendship with
Franco , On February 8 , 1881 , ho wan
elected ono of the forty-three repre
sentatives of the department of the
Heine in the national assembly , in which
body ho opposed the parliamentary treaty
cifpoacawith Germany. Tula augured the
party of the right , and when he attempted to
otldroas tha assembly , on March 8 , to violent
w as the opposition that ba left the tribune
nnd reelgnul hia seat. Returning to Paris nt
tha outbreak of the commune , ho vainly pro-
teatod in tha rnppel againtt the destruction ol
the Vemlome column , and soon after want to
Brussels where he wrote n proteit against the
course of tha Belgian government in regard to
the Insurants of PANS , and ollorimr an asylum
to the soldiers of tha commune. His rawari !
was a narrow esoipe , through police interven
tion , from a mob which surrounded his
home. The government requiring1 him
to quit Bruwola , he went to London nnd after
tliBcondomnition or the leaders of the com
rauno ho returimd to Paris and vainly inter

CHICAGO , 111 , , Mny 22. There waa another
jig crowd in the United States circuit court
o-day to witness the eivingof bill by Mackin
nd Gallagher , pending the decision of the
uproma court in the case. About 10:80 :
'clock Judge Grcsham came into court and
ailed tip the defendants with their sureties.
'ho latter wore M , C. McDonald , Dennis
Javanogh , August Motte , nnd John Craw-
ord. Tnoy were sworn and asked if any
liens had been placed upon their property
since they were examined nbout it before , and
all answered in the negative. Then Judge
jredmm asked them if they now
wned as much property as thny
id then , and McDonald nnd
August Mette said they owned more , haying
rarchased come and disposed of more since
lien. Their recognizance was then taken by
the clerk of the court and they departed ,
A stipulation to bo ready to have tha case
rgued on the firat day the supreme court
tiRots , on October 12 , was signed by District
Utornoy Tuthill , on the part of the prosecu-
ion , and by Emory Storrs , on behalf of the
lefendants , and waa filed with the clork.
Storrs asked Judge Gresham if he would be
urnishrd with a copy of the certificate to the
upremo court , and what points would bo
overed in it. Judge Gresbam said it would
over all the points raised in the record , and
bat the counsel would bo furnished with n
opy. This ended the matter , whereupon
everybody cleared out of the court room ,
Toe spirit of the Chicago press la tlut of
ensure of Judge Gr ° sham excepting alone
ho Times though the lick is struck more
.irectly . at Mackin , In brief the comments
are :
The Herald Nino-tenths of the people of
bia community believe Mackin guilty of an
itroclous crime. Irregular in proceeding it
may have been , but the conviction of this
icoundrel in the federal court is believed by
ho great body of thinking men to have been
it correct finding upon the evidence.
The Tribune We repeat that this experi-
nce is exceedingly discouraging. What in
ducement will , good citizona have to spend
heir money , time nnd energy in running
down election frauds if the men who commit
hem cannot bo punished after they are con
victed ? What hope is there for protecting
he ballot-boxes If the "
- professors of "fine
work" become convinced that they
are in no danger of pun-
aliment ? Tbo result of the most persistent
ellort has merely been to p-it Mr , Mackin
and his associates to a little expense nnd
.rouble in defending the bnita brought against
.hem , but it still remains to make ballot-box
stuffing odious and perilous. That Is a mater -
; er upon which the supreme court of the
Jnited States must pass ,
The Times The CISD of Mcclin nnd Galla-
ihcr now goes to the supreme court , and in
, his connection it mny bo pertinent to nek
what becomes oftho case of their fellow ballot-
jox Bluffer Gleason ? Does the fact that the
alter voted for Blalno exempt him from pun
ishment as n saving act of grace , or is it ac
cepted aa showing that hois not morally ac
countable for hia acts ?

WASHINGTON , May 22. Ono of the most
ndustrlous nnd practical men in the public
orvico in Washington is Appointment Clerk
ligglns. Nobody over hears him complain
f tbo climate or of the amount of work that
alls upon his shoulders. To him , especially ,
lie taek of devising ways to got rid of "olfen-
Ivo partisans , " who are republicans , is a labor
f love. Some time ago it seems to have
ccurrod to him that the list of names of nil
cpublicnn ulorka who wont to their
ionics to vote last fall would bo
> rotty good proof that the clerks whoso namoa
vero found on the list were "oiloneivo par-
isnns. " Most of the clerks It scorns obtained
allroad tickets at reduced rates upon present-
] g evidence that they were voters going to
heir homes to vote. The observation of
ormolity of course Involved the keeping of a
ccord of names and residence of these
lerks , nnd a copy of that record , it is
aid , is now in the hands
f Higgins , It includes the namea of pome
00 clerks who voted In the stuto cf New
fork and of nearly GOO who swelled the vote
f Blalno and Logan in the state of Mary-
and , besides the names of hundreds of clerks
vho voted in Pennsylvania , Ohio , and other
Latcs. Since ho obtained possession of this
ocumont , Uiggins , it is ( aid , has been moro
rm than over In his determination to "turn
tie rascals out. "
On the 3d of April Commissioner Sparks
asued an order suspending final action on all
lomestead nnd timber-culture claims in cor-
ain territories , Thia meant that while all
Derations of the local and general land oflicaa
would proceed as usual , patents for the lands
would not bo signed until further notice.
For years the land office has been run by n
ew firms of land attorneys hero who have
elatives and ngenta in the general laud office ,
'ho tiavo had influence enough to got cases
liey were interested in made " 'special" and
ushod through in a few days , when the
lonest but unsophisticated sett'erwho did not
lave ouo of those law firms had to wait many
lonths. The head of one of the largest of
icao firms that have boon making
ortunes by getting illegal claims through the
and office lately had two brothers-in-law in
le land office. Ono has just been discharged
rom an important position , In which he could
materially help his brother In-low's firm , not
ecessarily corruptly , but certainly to the dis-
dvantago of some of the trovernmont and of
tdvorse claimants , This firm has lately at-
icked Mr. Sparks' order by a circular sent , to
lelr clients and correspondents , in the course
1 which they say : "The order , however , is
early the throwing of n drag-net over nlmost
le entire western country , and for the pur-
> ese of ascertaining by a vast system of se
cret espionage whether or not some entries
lave not been consummated upo'a fulce
roofs. "
The reply to this is that it was ono of tha
otoctives of the late republican administra
te who found in one locality in Dakota that
nly two out of 110 contiguous claims , were
egally made. All of the agents of the bureau
lave reported to much the same effect , A
aw firm in Dakota , in sending a copy of this
circular to the commissioner , says : "You may
tot know how readily n chicken-coop can ba
iroved n dwelling-house , nor with what
acility a patch of weeds as high as n man's
boulders , with a few struggling sprouts , could
ja called n tree claim. I have been over a
arge part of this territory , * * * and I
renturo to say , and I believe truthfully , that
hero is not one timber claim in a hundred
where there has been an honest attempt to
omply with tha law , and that one-half of
, ho pre-emptions proved up are ns bad. "
Another lawyer , in Denver , Col. , writes to
ho commissioner : "Your order suspending
inal action upon entries of public lands in tha
west is universally approved by tha better
lass of citizens. It is hoped that you will
ee to it that vigorous investigations are made
> y trustworthy agents , nnd I am qnito sure
uch nn Investigation will demonstrate that
ess than one-half of the entries probably
OPS than one-fourth In Colorado are bona
ide. Many of them are made in tha names
f persons who have never had nn existence
lurely fictitious. "
The circular proceeds to attack the commis-
ioner by innuendo , saying it should bj fur-
her observed that , while this order suspends
he operation of all public land laws directly
lenoticial to settlers , it in terms
ontinuea the operation of cash
and tcrip laws directly beneficial to
peculators and scrip-owners. Tha price of
uch scrip will be largely enhancad. It may
vlso be remarked that while this order is made
ippllcabla to nearly the whole of the western

art moat ofJPennalyvairia nnd tha Veterans
Itights Union called on the president , Man
ning , nnd BUck , yesterday , in tha interest of
the enforcement of laws relating to the ap
pointment nnd retention of ex-soldiers in the
civil service. The president assured the dele
gation that ho desired to do all ho could for
old soldiers ; that as president it was bli duty
to see that all luws of the United States are
enfoiced and that he would ba glat
to receive any communlcitlon from them
Manning assured them that his department
would respect the law In question , but ha said
ox-union soldiers who had been offensive-par
tleana could not expect to be retained. They
took their chances in the last prenidentia
election , Ho added that there were n grea
many ex-union soldiers and eallors who never
had bean recognised in the distribution o
offices in the last twenty years , men who are
democrats , and that thd claims of these men
would bo recognized by the department.
The meat of this circular Is in the follnwirg
sentence : "Interfiled parties who may be in
juriouuly affected by this order should seel
its rejciaeipn or its modification. SnchelFost
can ba legitimately made through their fen
ntora and representatives in congress , throng !
the public press , by direct petition to tb
president , or the interior department , or bv
any of tbe recognized modes tbrourh wbic
citizens are accustomed to present their griev
nnces to the federal government. "

mrpoaos. In reply I have to inform you tlut
'our communication has boon submitted to

hat where it is fonnd by the inspector that n

iow of the immediate prosecution of the of-
ender , nnd in nil cases the inspector shall bo
idcd by the advice of the district attorney ,
atmastors , and others entrusted with tno
nonoy of the department , kndw ( or if notth'y
re unfit to hold the position ) Hint to use do-
mrtment funds for private purposes is , under
ny clrcumstancoi , u criminal offense , and in
very lustanca where it is ascertained thn
unds have been so used , a prosecution should
t once follow and nil facts should ba imtnodl-
tcly reported , with n view to th6 prompt re-
loval of the offender. It I ) no part of the

etainst the postal laws has been committed ,
nd his duty is clear , viz. : to take proper
