STATE OF MARYLAND, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.


ANNAPOLIS, MD., February 11, 1876. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Delegates:


The melancholy duty devolves on me of in- forming you by an official communication of the death of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson. This sad event occurred last evening at the executive mansion, from an unaccountable and unwitnessed accident. The distinguished abilities of Mr. Johnson as a jurist and statesman have long made him the pride of his native state, and on this most sad occasion the general assembly of Mary- land may deem it proper to pay to his memory that tribute of respect to which his faithful serv- ices of his state and his country so justly entitle him.
