Hon PREsToN KINo Of New York, whose
death by drowning has just been announced ,
was very eminent politician. His high Of
fetal positions for twenty years, ss member
of Congress, U. S. Senator, Governor Of New
Y rk, and finally Collector Of the port Of Nes

body interested in political affairs but these
positions do not tell the whole story By
his sagacity and prudence politician COM
mended to the confidence Of others by his
perfect integrity as man, he has been for
several years leader in the politics Of bis
state and the nation, Senators, Cabinets,
and Presidents have been wont to consult
him. With President johnson particularly
he was on the most familiar terms, residing
usually at the white house during his visits
to Washington. Mr. King was a native Of
Odgensburgh, and a resident there except
when absent in the discharge Of public duties
"A country-bred politician, accustomed to
measure political principles and men and poll

doned the party when it forfeited the name
and abandoned the radical principle Of democ-
racy by becoming sl,vocratic aud be carried
with him at ouce the great body Of that party
in Northern New Y lrk. From that moment
Nj. King was the most powerful man in the
state, succeeding not unworihily to Slas
Wright, who dwelt in the same region and
was accustomed to deal with the same men.
From that moment. too Mr.. King became a
leader ia the Republican patty Of the Union,
and 1t is due to him to say that be has always
advzsd wisely and well. He was bachelor,
a man Of gigantic proportions, always excess
ively abstemious to keep his flesh viii in even
very large limits, Of genial and jolly dlspo-
sition, and as quick in his motions as a smart
youth OF twenty years. His over.tasked brain
gave way, and this great man deliberately
buried himself in the waters of the port over
the commerce Of which he had control.

SENATOR CoLLAMEs.-We gave the date
Of bis birth in 1892, being the date given in
his biography in Harper 1889 has also been
given as the date. The true date was Jan. 8,
1891. An older son Jacob was born to his
parents in l7S9 and died, and in 1891 the
same name was given 10 the second son. The
record has been found recently. The Provi-
dence JJurnal, whose editor (An,hony) is a
member Of the U. S. Senate, estimates our
great Senator very nearly as we have done.
He says:
Judge Collamer was the Nestor Of the
Senate. We think that If his colleagues bad
been called to designate the wisest of the
b,dy, the general suffrage would have fallen
upon him. Ga every occasion his opin
had great weight, whether in the open Ssnsle,
Or in the informal deliberations which often
precede the settlement ofimpo .tant measures.
He was not freq lent speaker, and he spoke
always after mature dehberation and al
though always with Consciousness Of G.
weight Of HE Arguments, aud the value Of his
J judgments, yet without attempt at display,
aud with no meretficious aids Of oratofy.-
He was listened to with respect and ttten-
ton seldom shown to speakers in Congress,
TO- every one knew that be spoke only when
he had something to say, and that whatever
he had 70 sa' was wOrtl hearing. Whenev-
er he addressed the Senate it was upon mat
ters actually under consideration, and with
the purpose Of influencing those who heard
him. he never spoke for Buncombe. No
man could have greater contempt for that

The enemy was found to have fallen

having reached the Southside road
early in the forenoon and were busy
tearing it up. This of course cut the
rebel army in two. The division thus
caught between the 9th and I'd corps at
once retreated across the SOuthside road
towards the AppOmatoX, hoping to be
able to ford it and thus escape capture,
