men who figured largely in that most dismal
era Of our country's history, just before the
war, are disappearing. Of Buchanan's Cabi.
net, cass, Secretary Of State, Floyd, Secretary
of War, Cobb, Secretary Of the Treasury,
Brown. Postmaster General, and now Toucey,
Secretary Of The Navy, are dead. The latter
died at his residence in Hartford, Conn, Fri
pay, at the age Of II: Mr. Toucey was repre-
sentative in Congress from 1886 to 1889; Gov
ernor of Connecticut in 1886; United States
Senator from 1852 to 1857. He served in .Polk's
Cabinet as Attorney General in 1S4S. On ac-
count Of his sympathy with Mr. Buchanan Is
policy before the war and his stubborn adher-
encc to retrogressive and illiberal political dog
mas during the later years Of his life, he has
not had the influence or respect in New End- +
