This Cincinnati Enquirer OF Saturday
says "Our dispatches this morning
announces the death of Hon. JAMES z.
HALL, at his residence in Toledo. Mssy
years sso, in cid WING times, Mr.. HALL
resided in Cincinnati, and was one Of our
most respected, e~nterprising and public
spirited citizens. 1t was, We believe, IN
der Gen. Taylor's administration that he
was made Postmaster OF cur city IN
which Office, es, indeed, in all Others
which he occupied, he gave the highest
satisfaction. Having g large property
interest in Toledo he sfterWard made
that his home. He was greatly devoted
to the interests of the new and growing
city he had adopted SIS his residence, but
this ia no way diminished the affection
ate regard for Cincinnati, which he never
tried to conceal. Our people never asked
for a measure of the Legislature while
MIR. HALL was a member, that it did not
find an advocate in him. Familiar Tith
the needs and the ability Of our city, be
has done much to impress upon our leg
islators the importance of building up
and proteoting its business IN al proper
wsvs. Few men were more genial in So
ciai intercourse than Mr.. HALL, and few
will be more sincerely regretted by men
of ell parties. True az steel to his own
friends and principles, he honored msnli-
ness and nobility wherever found, and
did not REQUIRE them to adopt his ideas to
become his friends. at the time OF his
death he was State Senator for the Dis
trict in which be resided. which position
he had held for several terms"

THOMAS EDWIN ADAMS, ex-Chiei Of
Police Of New Orleans, died suddenly on
Friday last, the 18th inst, at New Or
leans. He was barn ia Btookheld,
Mass. in 1924, and was consequently but
forty-four years old at his death. He
went 10 New Orleans in 1876, and entered
the store OF MOSES greenwood SIS .
clerk, and ia two or three years
became a partner. In 1858 he took a
prominent part in politics 81 q member
OF the Wing party, and was elected 70
the Legislature. About this time he was
induced, by 3 petition signed by the
citizens Of the city, TO take the position
OF Chief Of Police, and held II until the

During the war he espoused the cause of
the South, and at it's close he returned 20

the sca;awag government Of Louisiana

Crescent ia concluding an admirable
obituary of him ssys: "Tried in cir
cumstances in which men Of ordinary
nerve would have quailed and stood
sloof-but his courage, both moral and
physical, was perfect, and he never
q friend, so did no enemy ever over-
come him. It requires a generation Of
men to furnish an antique model like
THOMAS E. ADAMS. Under q rugged ex-
terror he had the kiDdest and most affec-
tionate heart that ever sctuated a hu.
being. Brave to tenaerity, but gen.
tie and guileless as a child, he was a man
to whom a population would appeal in
their hour of dagger, and on whom an
would smile in its waking hours.
