Washington, March 7. Special.) The many Kentuckians in Washington were suoeked this morning at tbe intelligence that John W. Kendall, the Representative of the Tenth Kentucky distzict, had received a fatal sttoke of apoplexy. 1 he day previous he appeared to be in the fcebt of health, and one to look at his rr Idy, kindly face would naturally have supposed that he wculd live to ripe old age. That he was to be so suddenly stiicken down in the noonday of Ids life, ftn-1 jat at ft time when after so many hardship he had begun to live, would never have entered tlie human thought.

Inevitable as ueatii is, our nature always revolts at its sudden, ter rible and ruer ilifwJy arbitrary power. JOHN W. KJOtDALU Mr. Keudull had not been here long enough to be well acquainted in Con gress, but be wen from those who did know him their respect, confidence and friendship. Ho took great pride in his position and worked bard and faithfully to reward his constituents for their confidence in making him tlieix Representa tive, and had he Dot met with so ud den ft terniina-Ui of 'nis eaiUdy career be would have fulfilled the hopes of his fondest friends.

In his short stay in Congret he bad already made more on ward progre in the mode of legislation than many members niake in an entire tetm. He was bimple in his talce and habits, strong in hit. friendships, tender and devoted in his family, generous and tonlding in hia nature, firm and unyield ing in his convictions of duty. He hated ptetenMons, and hia simple nature esteemed candor and sincerity above every thing cle. He retarded liny lator or for principle ft religious duty, and he would go out of his way to help a friend.

He bpent nearly all of last wees: iruugmg aiouna tno at paixments trying to do methlng to the advantage of his constituents and for Viis district. He wutched leitJation closely, anl took, a deep iuxcreat in national affair- lie wa au earnest uikI sincere tariff re former, and had the free silver question near to his heart iu the honest belief that tree silver legislation would help the poorer clashes. It seem, that on t'tie ery day free silver aeliioved such great triumph in the House 'one of its most arueet ciiainni'ins sliould be dying only a iew blocks away. Ihe attack of apoplexy came with fatal force at 4 o'ekek this morning. Mr.

Kendall was apparently perfectly well when he retired last night at bis usual hour, but awoke about midnight com plaining of dizziness about his head, and utter in some pain. His symptoms grew alarmingly woi.e, and his wife was aroused, and his son was soon at his bedside. About 4 o'clock be got partially out of bed and had his feet on the floor in tlx act of rising, when he fell bade un- COILMioUS. Drs. Ua2ea and Chew were at onco summoned, and pronounced it a severe stroke of apoplexy, ihe doctors re- maiited with him during the day, and every tiling vaa done to restore consciou ness, but their united eHorts were fruit- The stricken man lay all day at hia 116 Maryland avenue in an unconscious condition, surrounded by his wife and son, who are grief- stricken over their terrible- afiliction Tho following are the particulars of his death: At o'clock this evening Drs.

Uazen and Chew called in Dr. N. 3. Lincoln, and held ft consultation. They informed Mrs.

Kendall and her son that death was only ft question of ft few hours. This announcement wa received amid sobs and tears, and at 9:23 death came to the relief of tbe sufferer, just ft few midutes after Chaplain Mi lb urn, of Die Houite, who had come over from Mr. Springer's residence, bad uttered ft most beautiful prayer for tho dying man There were present when he died, bo- side hi wife and son, -Gen.

Kendall said he did not intend to make the race for Congress again, as he was satisfied with the indorsement he had received from his people. M. J. Kendall sent ft dispatch to Sirs. Baines at Morchead, notifying bis brother of his father's death.

I have been so Informed here in Chicago, and similar Assertions were made to me in Iowa by men who knew, and are working with Illinois politicians supposed to be committed to Palmer's The explanation, given is that the Illinois leaders now shouting for Palmer are namely using his name to arouse State pride to prevent Morrison's strength from increasing, and to keep the Hill movement from making inroads in Illinois. They will boom Palmer continually, but when aigument is made at the convention that be Li too old he is now in his seventy-seventh year they will admit, with apparent regret, the force of the objection, and then gracefully swing their force to sumo other man. Just who this otlier man, will be the Illinois Palmcrists have not yet definitely made np their minds. They wish to be for tho winner.

Cleveland would be nominated. Tlie poeitiveness with which Mr. Dick-iifeon 1 convictiiu that Cleveland would be the man hae given considerable encouragement to tlie Cleve land men, who have been depressed since the New York convention. It is probable that what Mr. Dickinson's friends are really thinking of is tliat be may be placed second on tbe ticket.

That is probably what is at the bottom of the business, Trie ngnt wbicn was advertised so extensively to take place in the Uouso to-day over tho resolution to fix Tuea day, March 22, as the time to consider Bland's Free Silver bill, proved to be a fake. The Republicans refused to help rake Democratio chestnuts out of tlie fire, and the result was that the anti-free silver Democrats were not in iL" They not only lacked a hundred or more votes, but were sadly deficient in leadership. Mr. Cockran, of New York, started out to lead the antis, but soon quit, and then Mr. Tracy and Mr.

Warner, of New Vork, tried their hands but under the ulitifrsoi the and tlie discipline of the silver leaders, headed by Mr. Bland, were soon knocked out, and tlie resolution passed by a two-thirds vote. There was no bitterness brought out in the discussion, and to all appearances the best of humor prevailed. Only ono or two incidents worthy of mention occurred. One was tlie ruling of the Speaker that tlie resolution could be considered before the journal of the House was which was directly against tlie position of the Democrats in the last House, and against the rulings of ex-Speakers Carlisle.

Randall and Blaine. In this ruling, however, the Speaker was sustained by tho House on the principle that Yon are dead wrong, but we are with you." The other incident was the talk, back chin-chin between Speaker Crisp and ex- Speaker Reed. Tho latter has got smarter and a keener tongue than tlie former, and the occupant of the chair will find before the susion is over that the dignity that doth hedge ft Speaker is better maintained by following the example of Mr. Carlisle than engaging in ft war of words with an unruly mem ber on tlie floor. There is not much comment to-night over the result.

The free cola- age issue win not down. This vm clearly demonstrated by to-day's aetioa of the House, and tbe gentlemen la both partiea who have been hoping that tbe silver question miht be postponed until after the general elections, are to night convinced Uiat the issue is on which must to met and disposed of by the House before the date of the Na- tiontl Conventions. The free coinage men in both parties are, of course, high ly elated at their triumph. Th men in tlie Democratio party are filled with most dismal foreboding of the political result it the Democratio party eemmit itself to the Bland bill, while the anti-fiee wiinage Republicans, who comprise H3 per cent, of their full mem bership in the House, are disposed to view the situation, it not with satisfaction, at least with a great deal ot complacency, a they regard tlie contest a' one in width tlie Democrat in th end must be the greater losers.
