The Mail of Monday last brought us news Of the
decease, after short illness, of the Hon. TIMOTHY
PITKIN, of Connecticut, statesman of the past
age, and author of well-known work on the Sta
tistics of the United, States. He was Member of
the House of Representatives from the year 1905
to 1919, inclusive; enjoyed high estimation, and
was more than once the candidate of the party to
which he belonged for the office Of Speaker OF the
House of Representatives. He must have been, at
the time of his DEATH nearly eighty years Of age.


1t is only week or two ago that letter was re-
ceived from him at this Office, in his usual hand
writing showing that he took as deep an interest
as ever in the History Of the Revolution, with
which he was very familiar; the object Of the letter
being to know who was the author Of the article
from an American in Paris, published some time
ago in this paper, in reply to some passages in La
marines late work concerning the part taken BY
France in the War of the Revolution.
