who awoke morning and found himself famous as
Secretary of the Navy, was born in Warren county,
New Jersey, about the year 1927 He entered Prince

a rather dali boy and in the same class with one
of the prominent members of the New Orleans bar 1t
was here he first acquired the gamey nick name which
has stuck him since that time among intimate friends
of " Cockey' Robson, He graduated in 7s47, and
was admitted to the bar under the tutelage Of Mr.. A.
NJ Remington, of whom be subsequently became a
partner in 1850. In 1889 he removed to Camden, in
search Of larger field for his talents, and occupied
some insignificant post connected with the courts, in
which position he remained until 1851, when he was,
to the surprise of everybody, appointed Attorney Gen
eral of the State by Governor Ward. 1t was while
thus engaged that he successfully prosecuted Jersey
man who had crossed the Delaware river with cargo
of Bories cabbagss Dat had not been paid for and the
gratitude of the ancient Mariner great that
when President Grant told him it immateral who
succeeded the post vacated by Bore the latter had
him brought to Washington and safely Installed before
any one else knew anything about it, Of course his
maritime knowledge is necessarily limited, his expert

Redbank ferry boats 1t is on record, however, that
he once made successful voyage to Smiths Island

greatness of soul peculiar to your rabid Radical re-
venges himself upon Mr., Loughesy, Of the Times, by
having him excluded from within the bar of the court

one or more members of the court In commenting
upon this act in MS paper Mr., Loaghery says:
The article which gave offence to Col Starr was
really not published by US and the most of our readers
10 sill probability, have never seen it. 1t appeared
in the Galveston News of the Gath Of June 1,
was, however, written and signed by US, 1t was .
reply to an editorial article that appeared in Flakes
Bulletin The offensive portion Of this article OF ours
we presume, was extract FROM speech Of Hen. L.
D. Evans delivered in the State Convention in Janu

with various acts Of oppression, corruption and tyran

which, if true rendered him entirely an6f for the po

II "A good crop be made this year, the freedmen Will
next season be more extravagant in their demands
and competition will induce planters to aceede to the
demands, however unreasonable. Ii is all important
then that aborefs should be introduced into TIT
country. Some move must be made and a coopera
tive effort agreed upon for the accomplishment OF th
desirable end. Money must be subscribed, and NJ
agent sent to Omaha Or San Francisco for the employ
ment and shipment hence of these Coolies. Thonsahd
of acres of the best cotton lands on earth are ylnf
idle or being half cultivated from want of labor. Ou
friend, DR.. Mccormack, opposite this place, tells III
that he has succeeded the present year in securing on
eighteen hands, with which small force he is endeav
ofng to cultivate five hundred acres OF first class
river land This should not be, nor can river plant
ers afford to let such valuable lands lie idle. The re
suit will be hnt next year. if successful this they vii
be almost forced offer such prices to laborers as on
hill planters cannot afford to give. The consequence
will be runous to the latter, and hence they have
vital interest in this labor question. Will they ava
