Mr.. John c. Rives, SO we'll known to every
frequenter of Washington, died at his resi-
dence near Georgetown on Sunday morning.
He was sixty-one years of age and leaves a
family. The career of Mr. Rives is quite
identified with the recent history of the ma
tional capital, where he took up his residence
in the days Of Andrew Jacksons first Presi-
dental term, starting with Francis P. Blair
the Congressional Globe. Blair was the ed
itor and Rives the financial manager or, as
the former facetiously expressed it, Blair
attended to the writing and himself to the
finance and the fighting. Mr. Rives was
also considered one Of the very best rifle
shots, in the country, and often exercised his
skill for the amusement of his friends.
In politics Mr. Rives was Southern
democrat, having come from part of Ken
tucley where the extreme southern political
views generally prevailed. But he was yet
a strong Union man, and came out on the
federal side before the present war broke out,
and opposing the secession schemes of jeff.
Davis just as heartily as a generation pre-
viously, he had opposed the notification
movements Of Calhoun. He gave himself,
$12,0 600 toward equipping a regiment.
In church matters Mr.. RiYes was very strict,
and was always careful in his observance of
the Sabbath. His personal character and
Christian reputation were such as any man
might feel proud to possess.-N. Y. Post.
