      Death of General Boughton.
  WASHINGTON, NOV. 11.--General
Horace Boughton, of Texas, died sud-
denly in this city Monday. For more 
than fifteen years General Boughton 
had been almost an invalid, having sus-
tained partial paralysis as a result of re-
maining all night in water in passing
over a pontoon bridge, in order to reach
a division for Burnside's relief. Gen-
eral Boughton was born in New York
state in 1833, and after serving through
the war, attaining the rank of brevet
brigadier general, he removed to Texas.
He occupied several public offices in
that state, and in 1870 was the Demo-
cratic nominee for United States senator
from Texas, but was defeated.
