presents a connected narrative of the times from
Adams to Pierce, developing much of the secret
history of the men and politics of that epoch. No
sooner was that off his hands than he engaged in
the still more laborious task of condensng revis-
ing, and abridging the debates of Congress from
the foundation of the Government to the pres
ent time. In this work, although at the ad-
vanced age of 76, his daily labors were almost
incredible, and such as few men in the prime
of manly life could support. This was accom-
plished in great part by means of robust con-
stitution, temperate habits, regular exercise, and
daily resort to the cold bath His health was still
as perfect, his mind as unimpaired, and his inter
est in passing events absorbing as ever He al
so wrote in an interval of leisure review of the
decision of the Supreme Court in the bred Scott
case which has attracted great attention. With a
strong industrious intellect, dominating charac-
ter, and quick appreciation of men, Col. Benton
has exercised prominent influence upon national
affairs. In Missouri his power was at one time
boundess, and throughout the West he moulded
public opinion to his will for many years. While
adhering to strict party lines he was able to effect
almost everything he attempted, and often standing
forth alone he drew his party with him against the
policy OF Presidents and Cabinets In his last at
tempt of this kind however, he failed, and was
forced to relinquish Office as consequences but this
browning struggle testimony to his indepen-
dence and of duty that will contribute no less
to his fame with posterty than the honors which he
received through party allegiance
Colonel Benton married after becoming
Senator, to Elizabeth, daughter of Col. James Nc
Dowell, of Rockbridge county, Va. His surviving
children are four daughters-Mrs William Carey
Jones, Mrs. Ann Benton Fremont, Mrs Sarah Ben
ton Jacob, and Madame Susan Benton Boileau now
at Calcutta, wife of the French Consul General.
Mrs. Benton died in 1854, having been struck with
paralysis in 1884, and from the time of that calamity
her husband was never known to go to any place OF
festvity or amusement.

CITY INTELLIGENCE,

MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAs-Some DAYS since a
seaman of the ship Terese made complaint before
Justice Audoun charging John Finch the mate,
with infcting cruel punishment upon him during
the recent voyage of that vessel During the in
vestigation the fact was elected that seaman, bv
the name OF John Wilson, had died from injuries
inflicted by order OF the captain, and that his treat
ment was of the most brutal and inhuman descrip-
ton. The witnesses were held to testify of the
matter before the United States Commissioner.
and on Saturday morning an examination had
which disclosed the following particulars CAPTAIN
Holmes gave Wilson two severe blows on the head
with Delaying pin, after which he ordered four of
the men to tie him up to the rigging by the hands
and feet. While thus suspended the men were di-
rected to whip him. and blows We're inflicted until
there was not spot on his whole body from which
the blood did not issue. By order of the CAPTAIN
he was then taken down and another of the crew. a
boy by the name of Reed, was compelled to satu
rate broom with salt water and scrub his face
with it. Wilson then went to his berth in the cabin
and the men were again directed to bring him on
deck. He beseeched them for Gods sake to let
him alone that he might die, but thew obeved the
Captains order and brought him on deck and be-
fore any further punishment could be inflicted the
man died and was thrown overheard. Two of the
men who participated in these inhuman proceedings
were before the Commissioner, and were committed
to await the action of the Grand jury Their
names are George burlington and Charles Grant.
Captain Holmes and the other two men have not
been arrested.
FTRE.-Yesterday morning, shortly after O'Clock.
fire was discovered in the frame carpenter shop of
Mr. Gerard Sappington, situated on Holland street,
between Aisquith street and Central avenue. The
| flames spread rapidly, and in a short time it was
entirely consumed Mr.. Sappingtons loss in tools,
finished work. and lumber, is about $500, on which
he has no insurance.
The two two-story and atick brick dwellings west
of the carpenter shop also took fire, and for while
burnt quite tiercely. The one adjoining the carpen-
ter shop was occupied by Jacob Stevel; his loss
furniture, by fire and water, is considerable He has
an insurance in the Firemens' office of $3.50, which
will cover it. The family of Mr.. Stievel were COM
PEELED to leave the house in their night clothes ow
ing to the rapidity with which the fire spread The
other house was occupied by Mr.. Clayton Garwood,
who sustained very little damage, his furniture be
ing safely removed The houses belonged to Mr.
Francis Davidson, and were damaged to the amount
Of about $780, which is covered by insurance in the
Equitable office.
The residence of Mr.. Thomas Mccormick, ad-
joining the shop on the East, also took fire the
| roof, which was considerably burnt. Mr.. McCor-
mick sustained much damage by water, which was
necessarily thrown upon the house. His loss esti-
mated at $500 on house and furniture, which is
