motion of Hon. E. NJ. Stanton, to
the Office ofJuStice of the Supreme
Court, OF the United States. His ap
pointment gave general satisfaction
and no act of President Grant, since
his term Of office commenced, has
been seconded by such universal ap
probation. But scarcely had the
news been hearlded throughout The
country. than the sad intelligence IL
received OF his sudden and untimely
death.
His death Ia n great loss to the ma
ton. In the great struggle witt

the iron nerve of President T.incoln's
War Minister that upheld the Repub
