Death of Hon. Zachary Chandler.

FOLLOWING closely the announcement of the sudden death of Gen. Hooker, comes that of Hon. Z. Chandler. On his way from Wisconsin to Chicago, Oct. 31, he complained of being ill, but spoke in Chicago that night with more than usual vigor and impressiveness. The next morning he was found dead in his room.
Born in Massachusetts, he made his home in Detroit, Mich., where he arose to eminence in the State and in the nation. As a United States Senator he won the gratitude of his own State, and the respect of all. Under Gen. Grant he acted as Secretary of the Interior. He was decided in his convictions, and outspoken in his manner; but his strongest political opponents conceded that he was strictly honest. As a public man, he had few equals in the country.
