Y
The New HAMPSHIRE SENAToRsHrp,-
The nomination OF Hon. James W. Patterson
to succeed Mr.. Clark in the United States
Senate, may be regarded as equivalent to
an election. Mr.. Patterson is in the prime OF
early manhood, having been born in Henni-
ker, N. H., in 1928. He worked his own way
through his preparatory studies and his collie
giate course, and graduated with high honors
at Dartmouth College in 1S4S. He was three
years engaged in teaching in Woodstock, Conn.
and one year thereafter, 1851, was tutor at
Dartmouth. In 1854 he was appointed Pro-
iessor of Mathematics in the same institution.
and, on the death Of the lamented Professor
Young, he succeeded to the chair of Astrono-
my and Meteorology. He subsequently re-
ceived the Appointment of School Commits
sioner for Grafton County, and his efficient
and discriminating course in discharge of the
duties incident to that trust gave an elevated
tone to public sentiment on the subject of ed
ucation in that county. He was also one wear
a member of the House of Representatives
from Hanover. In the spring of 1863. Mr..
Patterson was elected member of CONGRESS
from the Third District, and reelected in
1855. His present term in the lower branch
of Congress win expire on the 4th March,
1867. He will then, If his life is spared, enter
upon the discharge of the duties of the more
exalted position to which he has just been ell
ected. 1t is not too much to predict that his
past public career is an earnest OF the faith
fulness and answering devotion to right prin-
ciples he viii bring to the discharge OF the du-
ties of his new position.

-ll IJRrr. SUIr MISUNDERSTANDING Stanton
has blocked the libel suit brought by Francis
McCban against Lewis Clephane, who wrote
N tbe War Department that McGhan was n
Mcclellan man and should be deprived OF gov
eminent patronage, which he consequently
lost. -i D -- t'iat ata.tt 4r4-
Stanton refuses to produce the original let
ter, taking the ground that official communi-
cations to heads of departments are privileg-
ed communications, and cannot be made a
foundation for libel. 1t appears that the ques-
ton in relation to the letter, has been submit
ted by Mr.. Stanton to the Attorney-G General,
whose decision was as follows: iat
Letters on file with the heads Of depart
ments are privileged communications, unless
their publication has been authorized No
copies should be taken at private request, and
the production of the originals cannot be COM
PEELED in suit betwixt individuals. 1t has
been rulel that such communications cannot
be made the foundation of an action for libel.
Then, think, the head Of a department is
bound not to produce paper on file in his
Office Such letter as you describe is a privi-
legged communication. j. SPEED.

Lewis Cass.

Lewis Cass, whose death was announced
yesterday morning, was born in Exeter, N. H.,
Oct. 0, 1882. At the early age of IL years, he
stagted West, OH foot, to seek his fortune. He
settled at Marietta, Ohio, studied law, practic-
ed with success, and at 25 was elected to the
Ohio Legislature, where he originated the bill
which, asstated by Jefferson, was the first
blow given to Burr's conspiracy. '',,'. ss sg
5a7 In 1906 Mr.. Cass was married. In 1911 he
volunteered to repel Indian agsressions on the
frontier. He was elected Colonel Of the Sd
Ohio volunteers, and entered the military SER
vice Of the United States at the beginning of
the war of 1872. He recommended am imme-
diate invasion of Canada, and was the first to
land in the enemy's country. The campaign
was ruined by the subsequent capitulation of
Detroit; Col. Cass's 1herits nevertheless pro-
cured his promotion to the rank of colonel in
the regular army and brigadier-general of vol
unteers. He subsequently distinguished him
self at the battle of the Thames, where having
no immediate command he served as a vol
unteer aid to Gen. Harrison.
After the recovery of Michigan, President
Madison appointed Gen. Cass Governor Of
the Territory. This position he held from
October, 1918 till July 1881, residing with his
family at Detroit and managing the difficult
affairs of the Territory with great skill and
judgment. Peace was preserved between the
whites and the disafected Indians, and the
Territory rapidly advanced in population and
wealth. 80 .9sfH
In 1881, Gen. Cass was called to Washing
ton to preside over the War Department un-
der jackson. In 1886 he was appointed Min
lister to France, where he remained six years,
returning in 1912 by his own choice. In 1S45,
he was elected United States Senator from
Michigan, which had been admitted to the
Union in 1887. In consequence Of his nomi-
nation for the Presidency in 1S4S, Gen. Cass
resigned his seat in the Senate, but was re-
turned again in 1S49, having been beaten by
Gen. Taylor.
When Mr.. Buchanan became President he in
vited Gen. Cass to take charge of the Depart
ment of State. On the 14th December, 1850,
after an excited Cabinet meeting in which the
provision Major Anderson and his little force,
Gen. Cass resigned his post. He did not rush
into print, yet he made no secret of his con-
viction that Mr.. Buchanan's course was fatal
ly mistaken, and he left the Cabinet avowedly
because he could not consent to be implicated
in the cowardly desertion of the brave men in
Charleston Harbor.
The long life, stretching back to a period
before the adoption of the Constitution, has
ended. After eighty three years of widely varied
experience, he rests. The pioneer, who saw
the Western wilds fast blossoming into States;
the statesman who shared in every branch of
public business, legislative, administrative,
diplomatic; the old soldier, who lived to see
the glorious end of war compared with
which all his military experience was dwarfed
and paltry-he has gone to. rest, near the scene
of his first battle, and of his first adminislra-
tive successes. His memory win long be hon.
ored by his countrymen.

s A HARD CUsToMER.-We are informed
that man in Gorham, to whom shoemaker
was indebted, went into the shop of the latter
last week and "thrashed" the shoemaker and
his journeyman. He was taken before trial
justice and fined $40 and costs. Being unable
to pay, he was delivered to an officer to be
brought TO Portland Jail. The officer, taking
massistant with him, started from Gorham
with the prisoner. Before they got to Saccar-
appa the fellow stole the papers from the Off
Ger. The latter supposing- he had dropped
them on the road, told his assistant and the
prisoner to get out of the wagon, while he re-
turned to find his papers. This was done, but
after the officer was out of sight the prisoner
coolly told the assistant he should not stop
any longer, and then jumped over fence and
made his escape. l 5ul cas- fa. s +
