and former Vice President oil the Society DE died OF

on the Goth Of August at The age of nineteen
When friends are snaiched from midst, it is the
melancholy yet grateful duty of the survivors to keep
their memory green in their own hearts and nn!arnishpd
IN The eye Of The world Blu, when the young, the viz
,uous and the gifted die, il is but justice TO the dead
and the living that their virtues be more fully recorded
and their memories generally cherished Justice
TO the dead for the sacrifices the earnest struggles and
high aspirations Of noble nature fitted to be the bene-
factor OF his race deserve than fleeing and OBJ
scure remembrance-they claim the sympathy and gra'
titude Of his feow-me Justice TO the living; as q
warning striking and instructive of the memorable
power of death and the fraly ofe when neither outh,
nor genius nor virtue, can claim exemption from the
common doom.
The one whom we would thus honor was cast in no
ordinary mould. He combined, in a rare harmony
those high moral and intellectual qualities, which, IN
their full development, would have been an honor to
his country with those gentler traits which endeared
him TO his friends and companions Gifted by nature
will, quick and delicate perceptions, strong and erv'd
imapinaon and accurate judgment, he had cultivated
his bowers by assiduous study and discipline, to On ex

His rare talents and extensive requirements were, how

appreciated By the limited circle Of intimate friends
and relations.
He graduated with distinguished honor at George
town College, D. c., in July, 1870 At this venerable
institution his memory is cherished with mournful in

was equally beloved. He spent eighteen months at
the celebrated Law school at Cambridge hassach useit,

Of Laws. Auong the hundreds wh0 frequent that in.

Banks 10 which were deposited the funds provided
for the payment Of interest on the State debt. From

relation to the reputation Of the Union OF Bank and

! respectfully suggest to the Legislature the
proprety OF immediately enacting law for the more
sale and secure disposition OF the public moneys
than that designated by law, and that some
discretion should be left with the State Treasurer
IN relation To the deposlte and safe Keeping thereof,
which he might exercise. IN conjunction with any
other department of the Government which the Lee
gi,lature might name, especially during the time
that body shall lot be IN session aud generally to
provide against any similar emergency, should It
unfortunately occur.
" The necessity Of disconnecting the admlnlstra-
ton OF the government from banking institutions.
has been urged again and again upon the LegIsla-
ture. They have thought fit to differ with me in
opinion upon the subject; but every days expe-
renee has confirmed the correctness of my views,
aud must be excused for again pressing it upon
your attention. The history of the world cannot
afford any satisfactory evidence OF any advantage
FROM or furnish sound reason for a connection be-
tween the government and incorporated moneyed
