Death of Garrett ID. wall.

General Garrett ID. Wall, late United States Sen
ator from Now Jersey, died last night, Nov. 22d,
Mt his residence IN Burlington. n. j. His disease
was dropsy on the chest and his health has been
declining for two or three years. We may safely
say that no man in New Jersey could be more gem
orally lamentcd than General Wall. Distinguished
not less for his private virtues than for hs high
patriotism, he commanded the esteem and affection
Of all who were acquainted with him.
General Wall was native Of New Jersey, aud
has resided there all his life. lie was n lawyer
by profession and stood at tho head Of the bar In
his native State while he continued in practice.
His career has boon one IF little incident, from
the fact that he has uniformly declined taking
a prominent part in public affairs. During the
war with Grret Britain Re commanded COM
pany rlat in service but since that time he has
remained in the quiet pursuit of his private bust
ness, except during one term in the United States
Senate, 10 which he was elected during General
Jsckson's administration. He has uniformly de-
clined all other Offices even that OF Governor OF
New Jersey, to which he was elected by the Legis-
lature, on more than one occasion. Sull, notwith-
standing his chosen retirement, he has shown no
lack Of interest in public aaits, and his views ON
great questions have been given fcorlessly, and
have alvsys commanded the respect ofall parties.
In his early life he Federalist, but leit that
party and joined the Democrats At the time Of tho
war Of 1912. lIis patriotism, boweve-, always
shone above his party feeling; for, having no po-
litoal aspirations Of his own his motives never
questioned. General Wall was over seventy years
of age. lie lcnvcs a widow, in aiHucncc, and sevc-
raj children .--P philadelphia Btdishn.
