1861 and 1862, and from August,
1862, till April Of the year follow
ing was Adjutant General of the
State. Leaving this position he
! entered the House of Representa-
tives, in the 3Sth Congress, and
served on the Commerce committee
and that of Invalid Pensioners. He
was also a delegate to the Baltimore
convention in 1864. In 1866 he
was elected to the Senate to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of
Hon. T. H. Hicks, and on the 22d
of February, 1866, delivered a
mastery eulogy before Congress on
the death of Henry Winter Davis. q
Being an open, uncompromising
radical, he found himself in advance
of his party in Maryland, and was
defeated in his second Congressional
campaign. He was the chairman
of the Maryland delegation at
Chicago last May, and was strongly
urged for Vice President, but with
drew after the first ballot. His per-
sonal relations with General Grant
are of the most intimate character,
and his appointm to Cabinet
position is a recognition of the
claims of the border and, Southern
States. He possesses undeniable
fitness for the post for which he has
been selected.
SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.
For this General Grant has cho-
sen Ex-Governor j. d Cox, of
Ohio, an excellent and distinguished
soldier in the war, man who has
the faculty for business organiza-
ton, an admirable executive officer,
a man Of unquestioned integrity, and
who will bring a high and conscien-
tious zeal to any public duties that
he undertakes. The selection is
honorable to both parties, and ex-
cellent for the country.
SECRETARY OF WAR.
John A. Rawlins, the new Sec
retary of War, is we'll known as
Grants Chief of Staff. He was
with Grant throughout the war, and
perl ormed the most faithful and
valuable service, Recently his
health has been impaired, but we
presume the duties of the War
Office are not likely to be very
exacting during this administration.
He is Galena man, and made the
speech in that city ABOUT q year ago
giving expression to the political
views of General Grant
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.
Adolph E. Borie is one of the
princes of Philadelphia.
His life has been spent in the West
India trade, from, which he retired
with handsome fortune a few years
ago. An owner Of merchant vessels
almost from his boyhood, he is
familiar with all that pertains to the
marine He has never
been publicly identified with politics,
but from the fall of Sumter has been
one of the representative war men
of the most loyal of cities. His
many fine social qualities, his
purity and mapliness, made him
Vice President of that splendid
organization, the Philadelphia Loyal
League. He is a warm and intimate
personal friend of General Grant,
and has many qualities which fit
him admirably for the new position
which he has been called to fill.
ATTORNEY GENERaL.
Eben r. Hoar, is one of that
brilliant school of lawyers who for
a quarter century have adorned the
bar of Massachusetts, and a son Of
Samuel Hoar, who was appointed |
by that State to bring before the
United States Court in South Car
olina the cases of colored seamen,
who, by the laws of the State, were
seized and kept in prison until yes
sells were ready to leave port, and
we're then given up at the cost of
,he vessel, or sold for jail fees.
Judge Hoar went to Charleston with
lis daughter, and was warned to
cave on time under penalty of
ynching. That was the ever to be
amented time Of "the Union as it
vas"
