citizen.
Tho Hon. Henry Etanbery eaid he. had been
Judge Chase's personal friend since both wero
estranged in political opinions, yet never for a
moment did that difference disturb our social re-
lations. He said, again, there is one monument
Of his 1ndnatry and ability which, as it .was the
first that brought him into general notice. Dc:
the body Of the Ohio statute 1aw, extending .over
a period Of about forty-six years,
from 1887 to 1888. Brethren Of the bar,
that first work at the bar, in therFederal Senate
in the Executive chair in our State, In the Cabi:
net, on tho supreme bonch, he MAS always equal
to the place, and if he had reached that other
place, the goal Of his a1nbifio14. ,he would be
proved equal also to that. As one OF his sorro7-
ing friends, do not regret he mover reached the
ho would have brought to the discharge Of his
duties unsurpassed abilities and just ambition to
work out neodful reform, but because that

Of Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet TINT he stands out in
tho best relef,-one, and not the least, Of that
famous triuuyirate which gaTe such lustro to
that administration. Not one of ia who wit
messed the dark days of 1861 and 1862 will ever
will it be forgotten by tho generations that sue
ceed us. In common with his friends
have looked with solicitude at lis full
Jug health. He had never learned how
to spare himself where there was so much
to regret, there was much to console. His

all other friends, those daughters he loved go
well cheered and sootheu his declining days with
an aheotionate tenderness which wns full Of con-
ISOLATION. It was in. tho family circle that he
tho genial and touching nature. Of the man found
full expansion. III such a lfo aud such doath
pie to emulate. -.
