The Chic State Journal is publishing
short Biographical sketches ofsome of the
Republican members of the Senate and
House OF Representatives from which
we select the following in reterece to our
own Representatives. ... ..--
EAMES, OF AsHTABULA. -...5 .....
Hon. William NJ. Eames, member of
the House of Representatives from
Ashtabula county, was born in Berk-
shire county, Massachusetts, January 13,
1927. He first pursued a course of study
at the Classical School at East hampton,
Mass, and was afterwards educated for
the profession of medicine at the Medical
College at Pittsiield in his native State,
and at Jefferson Medical College, in
Philadcl phia. DR.. Eames came to Ohio
i'll 1850, and has since been devoting
himself exclusively to the duties of his
profession, having practied medicine for
six years in Portage county, where he
first settled, and for the past ten years
in the county ofAshtabuIa, where he now
resides. -........
In May 1861, Dr. Eames was commits
stoned rs a medical officer, with rank of
Major, in the 27st Reg 0. V. NJ, and on
the expiration of the term of enlistment
ofthat regiment, was appointed Surgeon
of the 2Ist Reg. o. V. l., and served
with that regiment, under Gen. Nelson
in Kentucky, and under Ger. Mitchell
il Tennessee. Was for five months in
charge of the Murfreesboro General
Hospital. Was twice captured by the
rebels. In October, 1862, in consequence
of exposure and oYerwork, his health
failed him and he was obliged to resign
his commission, but on his restoration to
health, which was speedy, he immedi-
atcly returned to the service as Surgeon
of the 57th regiment o. N. G.
AS member of the Legislature, to
which he was elected in the fall of 1867,
Mr.. Eames has established character
for fidelity in the discharge of his public
duties and fora faithful adherence to the
distinctive principles ofthe Republican
party. He has not spoken often but has
spoken well-his speech on the Jewett
Resolutions is the only one, we believe,
that has been published. But by his
modesty of demeanor and afability of
manners, he has won warm friends who
Will rejoice at his success, whether in
professional or in pubic life.
1t may be added to the above that
DR.. Eames has originated six different
bills during the past session-mostly on
subjects of special interest to the County
of Ashtabula-all of which passed the
House and four Of them the Senate. are
all now on the Statute book as laws.
The other two are still pending in the j!
Senate.

Wells, the express man, has done a
good thing, which, we hope, he won't be
sorry for. He has founded seminary
for young ladies at Aurora, New York,
to be named after him. The seminary
building, erected and furnished by his
liberality, sis believed to be unequalled
for beauty and situation, architectural
elegence, commdious arrangements, and
completeness of equipment" Why don't
somebody found seminary or some
thing better for the old ladies ? or are
there none such ? We object to giving
everything to the young, who have never
merited anything, and passing by the
old, who have earned recognition.

SECRETARY STANroN.-The retirement OF
Mr. Stanton from the War Department is the
signal for an attack upon him from copper
heads, and peace democracy The copperheads
never did like him. He saved the nation from
the cowardice and treachery of Buchanan, and
then, again, when Mr.. Lincoln rendered him
the War Bureau, Ire accepted it and dprosecuted
the war to crush rebellion with so much VIg"r
that he naturally excited the hostility oil lhe
anti-War Democracy, which it is evident has
not vet died out This feeling OF malice and
hate seeks qualification now in fire in the
rear as he retircs from the responsibilities
and duties that he has discharged with pat
riotic devotion rarely known to official
trust. This might have been expected. In
deed, without it the play would not have been
Copperheadism would not have per-
formed its legitimate part if it did not carp at
and malign Mr. Stanton. Now it is all right.
Mr.. Stanton leaves office under the fire Of the
enemies of the government, and he should not
ask better endorsement of his loyalty and
patriotism.

low is so characteristic. of the man-simplt
concise, short, sharp, direct, that it com
mands our hearty respect and approval
He considers that the proceedings ot
the Convention were marked with Wis
dom, moderation, and patriotism, and he
believes they express the feelings of the
great mass of those who sustained the
country through its recent trials. lie
endorses the resolutions of the Conren-
ton, and if elected will endeavor to adj
minister all the laws in good faith, with
economy, and with the view of giving
peace, quiet, and protection every where.
He frankly states that in times like the
present it is impossible, or at least emf
nently improper, to lay down policy TO
be adhered to, right or wrong through
an administration of four years. AS he
very justly remarks, the views of the
public on the questions of government
ard expediency are subject to change,
and purely administrative officer like
the President should always be left free
to execute the will of the people. En-
phatically he adds, II always have re-
spected that will, and always SHALL
How like the man! In conclusion he de-
clares it will be his great aim, if elected,
to restore peace to the country, satisfied
that in its train will follow general pros
perity and happiness. That such re-
suit will follow from an honest effort to
carry out the loyal sentiment of the
country, there can be little doubt. Eff
ort in this direction pursued with
steadiness and but tolerable ardor,
would have done for the country, in a
great measure, what the General propo-
ses now to bring about by that line Of
policy. Peace and prosperity are not to
be looked for in any other way, and he is
no friend to that state of things, who ex-
tends encouragement and support to any
shade of disloyalty and treason.
