NTroI;N GENERAL.

Ebcnezcr Rockwell boar. Of Aias-eohu
sets, appointed 10 t,c Office II Attorney
Genoral i SON 81 Hnn. samuel Uoar,
who was the most eminent member Of the
Middlescx bar for muy years, and was in
Congress from the Mddlescx district
from 1880 10 1891 lat who was most
widely known from III appointment by
tho Legislature in 1874, to proceed to
South Carolina and test The constitutions
ahty OF the acts Of tlat State authorizing
the imprisonment Of colored persons who
should come upon its soil, and from his
expulsion from the State by act of the
Legislature. He hurried daughter of
Roger sherman. a Connecticut T.
lockwood Hoar WIS born in Concord,
February 81, 1916, so that he is now 50
years of age. He graduated at Harvord
in the class Of 1885,, studied law in the
Cambridge Law School, and received the
degree If IL b. 1899 and the degree
of Ii d at Williams College in 1861
He was appointed Judge Of the Court Of
Common Pleas in 1910, and while in that
office, in the trial of case for an assault
arising ont of the fugitive slave cases in
Boston, he gave an opinion declaring the
Fugitive Slave law unconstitutional, and ,
if we remember correctly, he IS the only
Judge of any of our courts who ever
made such decision. In April. 1859,
Mr.. Hoar was appointed to the Supreme
Bench, AMI is now the senior Judge on
that ben:h III point of time of service
He was an active member of the Wing
party until the Free Soil party was
formed, in 1S4S, when he enlisted in its
ranks with all his heart He wrote the
call for the Convention in Worcester, in
1S4S, at which the Free Soil party in
Massachusetts was formed, and we be-
lieve originated. the term Cotton Wings"
and conscience Wings" which distin-
guished the two divisions of the party,
Conservative and Radical, for long
time. He has served in one or both
branches of the Legislature. He is
man OF the striotest integrity and honor,
and purity of character, and man of
very marked loyal ability. AT the time
of the resignation Of Chief Justice Bige-
low, the opponents of Judge Thomas con-
centrated their forces on him as Judge
Bigelow's successor, but, as will be re-
membered, Gov. Bullock appointed Judge
Thomas, and he not being confirmed, gave
the place to Judge Chapman. Attorney
General Hoar is an excellent read lawyer.
He possesses sharp, discriminating
mind, and is 80 free from conservative
tendencies that he will be apt to give to
his construction Of law its bearing. New
England will have no cause to blush for
the acts of her representative in Presi-
dent Grants Cabinet IA

board with Gen. Sherman during his his
toric ssmarch to the sea-" Here he was
violently attacked by Gen. Bragg, but
succeeded in repulsing his troops with
great loss.
When Gen. Sherman reached the coast,
the war ended; Gen. Cox was ordered
back to Ohio to superintend the muster
ing out of troops. While so engaged he
was nominated, and subsequently elected
Governor of Ohio by the Republican
party. During the campaign he gave
great offense to his party, and materially
weakened his own vote by writing let
ter in reply to his Oberlin friend, in which
he took ground against negro suffrage,
and favored the policy of the forcible col
onization of the recently emancipated
race The disafection thus created be.
tween Gov. Cox and his party was
greatly increased by his subsequent in.
dorsement, to great extent, of the policy
of Andrew johnson, and although Gov
Cox did not follow Mr.. Johnson in his
extreme views, nor in his violent opposi.
ton to Congressional enactments, yet he
was deemed altogether too conservative to
warrant his nomination for second gu
bernatorial term. Understanding thi.
feeling, he declined in advance the re-
nomination. This ended the public ca
reer of Gen. Cox, for the time, and he has
since been comparatively withdrawn
from public attention until Friday, when
his appointment to a position in Presi'
dent Grants Cabinet, brought him more
prominently before the people than ever
before.
In personal appearance, Secretary Cox
is trim, compact and elegant. He is a
well-read lawyer, is versed in belles-let-
tiers, and is generally we'll informed re.
garding ancient and modern history and
politics, and is also an excellent military
authority He is an elegant and forcible
writer. and debater of unusual power
and skill While he never commanded
the enthusiasm of the troops who served
under him, they nevertheless regarded
him as an able commander, who could be
trusted in any emergency. While his APP
pointment to the Cabinet is somewhat I'M
expected, il is felt that he will bring to
the discharge OF the duties of Secretary
of the Interior, energy, ability and the
utmost integrity.

capsized the sleigh to which it was at
tached, threw out the driver, and had
things his own way; starting up the rail-
road track, following it until he came to
the covered bridge about mile north Of
the depot, and then attempted to cross it
on the tiers and stringers. Having pro-
ceeded some thirty feet from the end, the
sleigh striking the side of the bridge,
threw him broadside OH the ties and
timbers and partly across the track, his
hind leg dropping through the bridge
On loosening the harness to relieve him

SECRETARY OF wAa.

John McAllister Schofeld is the only
Cabinet officer of the late Administers
ton who Is retained by President Grant.
During the recent impeachment trial,
while the office of Secretary of War was
matter of contest between the late Presi-
dent and Congress-, Gen. Schofeld was
accepted as compromise, and has thus
far discharged the duties of the office to
the satisfaction of all parties concerned.
It was said at the time that his appoint
ment was then due to Gen. Grants in
huence. Gen. Schofeld was born in
Chautauqua County, n. T., Sept. %, 1871.
When he was twelve years OF age, his
father removed TO Illinois. When OF
proper age young Schofeld was entered
at West Point, and credited to the State
of Illinois. He graduated in 1853, and
was Immediately attached to the Second

Judge Dent has shown a natural sensi

trated on him by the managers of the
Radical Party. The motive, groundless-
ness, and wantonness of the attacks con.
sidered, his Indignation and punishment
of his assailants will occasion no surprise.
But he will be comforted by the assu-
rance that these charges against him are
no more heinous than have been constant

For example, in the recent circular
