THE SPEECH MAKING EDTToRS.-The
editorial trio, generally known as the
"Bristow trinity" tc-Wit: 10. MEDILL,
Of the Chicago Tribune, and our own
great and good, MURAT HALsTEAD and
DEACON SMITH, (it takes both Of them
to constitute the "great and good" as
neither of them can "order it up and 60
it alonew) made speeches during the
Convention season. They were sever
ally summoned thereunto on different
occasions by "sonorous thunder" from
brass bands. But we believe Halstead's
occasion was disappointment SO far as
the brass band was concerned. He made
his speech, nevertheless, and printed it
in the Commercial, where it stands 10!
even to this day. - .
The speech-making Of this editorial
trinity was Of the kind commonly called
unique. Medill said he had nothing TO
say, and he said it. But it took him a
good while to tell it. The amount OF
wind required to ''blow" the brass band
was nothing compared with what was
employed by the Chicagoan to inform
his hearers that he had nothing to say.
But he finally succeeded In convincing
them of the correctness OF his PROPOSE
tion; ana they departed, fully assured
that he had nothing to say.
The "good" Deacon Smith also made
his debut under the inspiration drawn
from nothing stronger than the wind OF
another brass band. He, too, was op.
pressed with the consciousness Of hav.
lng nothing to say. The venerable Ga
eette man nevertheless found words TO as.
sure the listening throng,i in amanner that
was "childlike and biand,n that 1t was

crowd assented. He then furthermore

The PRESIDENCY of the United States
has been held by eighteen of our distln-
guished citizens during the eighty-eight
years since the organization of the Gov
eminent under the Constitution. o
these eighteen eminent personages, five
were from Virginia, Washington, Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe. and Tyler, hold
ing the Office for thirty-six years lack
ing one month. Three were from Tenn

holding the Office sixteen years, lacking
about one month. Two were from Mas
sachusetts. John Adams, and John Quin.
cy Adams, father. and son, holding the
Office eight years. Two were from III

month. Two were from New York, Van

seven years and nearly half. One
from New Hampshire, Fierce, in office
four years. One from Pennsylvania,
Buchanan, holding the office four years.
One from Louisiana, Taylor, in Office
about hall a year; and one from Ohio,
Harrison, in Office one month, 1t is
thought to be about time that the great

88years, the Eastern States have held
the Presidency 5SI years; the Western
and Southwestern, 29H years.

DEATH OF AN AGED CoLoRED CITIZEN
Federal street, was born free in Baltimore, but
took up his home at an early age in Portland.
For about sixty years until the year 1862 he
followed the sea as steward most of the time,
and for more than twenty years we believe was
in the employ of Pease & Whitmore, sail
ing with the late Captains Shields and Adie.
Since the dissolving of that firm he has sailed
with different captains. His last voyage was
in 1862 in the bark Pilot Fish, with Capt. G.
FL. Chase. since which time he has been in the
employ of G. H. Chase & Co. For the past
four years he has been in the employ of Geo.
S. Hunt, esq. John PARIS, as he was familiar
ly called, was true, honest and faithful man,
well known throughout the commercial COM
munity, and was an unusually kind hearted
man, always ready to spend his nights among
the sick. especially among those with whom he
had sailed or in whose employ he had been.
Mr.. PARIS had by diligent and hard work Sc
cured quite little property, but the fire of
1866 destroyed his little neat cottage houses
from which he received quite rent, and the
extension of Federal street through his land
nearly used it up, as some of our citizens we'll
know, thus leaving him in his old age obliged
to work when able
But in his sickness he has not been forgotten
by those whom he delighted to serve and
every want has been earnestly sought out, and
he has long been daily visited by large num-
beriof sea captains, owners of vessels and mer-
chants, all eager to do something to make his
pathway to his long home easy. He was dea-
con of the Newbury street church for period
of years. He was ever at his post when duty
called, and was true and devout Christian
throughout his life. T.

SATURDAY.-The case of the Clinton pension
frauds was brought up. 1t seems that Eben Lewis
was soldier in the war of 1912. He died, and, six
weeks AFTER his widow died. His Samuel's wife,
Jane Lewis, personated her mother-in-law, and Sc
cured pension from the United States government
by means of her fraudulent claim. The grand jury
found indictments against John Lewis, Esther Nell
son, Aaron Eldridge, Jane Lewis, George H. Lewis
and Nathaniel W. Randall for conspiracy and COM
bnation with Jane Lewis TO defraud the United
States Government; also against Aaron Edridge for
making signing and delivering false and fraudulent
certificates for the purpose of securing the fraudulent
claims against the Government; and against John
Lewis for swearing that he saw the marriage cere-
mony performed between Ebenezer Lewis and Jane
Lewis, then called by the name of Jane Eldridge.
Upon arraignment in court this morning, John
Lewis, Aaron Eldlidge, and George H. Lewis plead
ed not guilty. Mrs. E. E. Randall and Mrs. Thank
fu Eldridge were discharged. Hon. T. B. Reed with

whole amount received from both dividends and Sc
