OBITUARY..

= E1Dgwhere We announce among cur Geographic
dispatches, the demise Of Hon. W. R King, Vice
President Of the United States. He had but
IseGntly taken the oath of Office in the high po-
d(l1>o which he had been called by majority
q ~ people Of the United States-but he was
called away by a Power mightier than man.
The history of Mr.. King, is the history of the
United States Senate for many years past.
Long Hnrssiding officer, he exhibited in that
positip1 eouliar art, grace, promptness and
courtesy rarely if ever approached by any one|
else acting IN the same capacity. Minister "A
France, he exhibited respectable tact and jude-|
- = diplomatist, and at that Court, as|
- khUs, slways the dignifed, high-toned|
6ourtsous gentleman, he commanded high de-
erss Of consideration. In private life, he was
irrsprosohable, manatf the purest morals
and frmest integrity. He was bachelor, and
advanced in years. In him the country has
lost faithful and useful public servant, and
society gentleman to whom that term may bel
afplisd in its incest sense.s
