of the country. Notwithstanding the ac-
knowledged ability of Mr.. Williams as q
lawyer, it is doubtful whether he would have
made good judge. His difidence was too
great. It requires more than scholarship to
make good school teacher. The ability and
determination to rule is just as important as
rare attainments in textbooks. A judge
must be good lawyer, and he must have
good administrative powers, and also inde-
pendence sufficient to assert what is right and
carry it into effect, in spite of wrangling law
yers Hence G. W. Williams as a judge
would have fallen short of G. w. Williams
as lawyer. 49,.
Mr.. Williams general scholarship waa
good His mathematical powers were little
less than prodigious. The most complicated
calculations were comprehended by him at
once, and the mechanical operations in arith.
metic, which to most mathematicians are
onerous, were to Mr. Williams mere play.
He was able to add, multiply, divide or sub
tract with almost absolute accuracy and With
u rapru1Jy which was most astonishing. lo
illustrate this, he could addup a long column
of figures consisting of three places, taking
all three figures at once, with equal accuracy
and greater rapidity than the majority Of in
dividuals could have added up e single line
of the column. y
Mr. Williams mind was quick and accu-
rate. So soon as the facts in a cause were
brought before his mind he reached his con-
clusion concerning it. He had not to sit
down and study these facts over and over and
then study the law over and over before ne
was able to give an opinion. The feature Of
his mind was that he was able at any time to
make use of all that he knew. His memory
was decidedly good few men have ever been
endowed with better memory. r.
In person, Mr.. Williams was perhaps five
feet nine or ten inches high, slender made,
black hair, keen eye and well shaped head.
His head bore a striking resemblance to that
Of the celebrated statesman, John G. Calhoun.
The gait of Mr.. Williams was quick and dig
ni6ed. Even in the dark he could be easily
recognized by the peculiar sound Of his walk.
On the Ord of August, 1888, Mr.. Williams
was married to Sarah l., daughter Of Captain
Jonathan Beatty, and sister of Col. William
C. Beatty, of Yorkville. They had Blk
children-three sons and three daughters.
Two-a son and daughter -are dead.
On the End Of December, 1868, g. w.
Williams closed his earthly career. He died
very suddenly, at Columbia, while in attend
ance on the United States Court. His re-
mains were brought to Yorkville and inferred
in the village cemetery. s..

The above tabular statements are full OF IN
tercst. With regard to the subject of this
brief sketch, they show that his political ca
recr began soon after he commenced the prac'
tice Of law. His connection with the York
vile Patriot was for the purpose Of dissemina-
ting his Union sentiments. In 1886 ne was
brought before the people of York county as
candidate for seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives by the Union men. The vote OF
that year shows that both parties were well
organized. Gradually the feelings of those
days died away, and in 1888, Mr.. Williams
was elected to the House of Representatives,
and continued to be elected, up to 1865, with
the exception of the years 1910, 1856, 1898
and 1864, when he was not a candidate. In
1865, he was chosen State Senator. twill be
seen that after 1886 Mr.. Williams was never
again beaten, although he never was the most
popular candidate.

THE BRAvEsr PEOPLE ON EARTH.-Gen-
eral Shields was fond of telling stories, and
the following one | remember particularly
we'll. Said the General "On the 18th day
Of September, 1S47, the American army
found itself before the ramparts OF the city
of Mexico The city contained 2OO,Oo0 IN
inhabitants and was defended by 10000 dis
ciplined soldiers, yet $500 American soldiers
crossed those ramparts and captured that
city. Can you show me any other instance OF
the kind in history? 1 recollect an old Eng
lish militaire who was there, and after ne
looked at the little band he said is this the
army?' Yes WELL said he, 'all have
to say is this-you Americans are the DraVeSt
people on Gods earth to come here with such
an army as that

How TO SUccEED-The New York Ledg.
er says: Long and close observation has sat.
isfed us that the real obstacle in the way of
finding employment does not lie in the fact
that there is not plenty of work to do-work
which might be done to pro6t-but it is the
impossibility of getting work done we'll. And
the reason work is not done we'll is to be
found chiefly in the false notions of labor
which prevail, and the antagonistic feelings
which have been .seduously cultivated be-
tween employers and employed.
A man who regards work as hardship, an
oppression-who looks at the time given to
his employer as species of limited slavery,
can never do anything we'll. He must take
an interest in his work if he would excel.
The true rule for a young man is to make
himself as useful as possible to his employer
He should never feel satisfied with himself as
long as anything in his power to do to pro-
mote his employers interest is left undone.
In this way his labor is rendered profitable
Promotion comes unsought and before 1t Is
expected. Here lies the secret Of success.

tho nation. He had the bankers against
him ak months ago. but he conquered
them, and his work was easy. When 10
came into the treasury in March, 1870,
twenty one months ago, there wss in the
treasury $9O,263.77, in coin; he has re-
sumed specie payments, reduced the public
debt over sixty millions, aud at the begin
ming of the year had a coin balance of S224,-
S65,4SS. Adding his increase of the cur
rency balance, the cash in the treasury
to-day is nearly one hundred and forty
millions more than it was when he became
secretary. He has increased the assets OF
the government by that amount, and reduced
its liabilities over sixty millions. Hence,
by John Sherman q able management of its
finances, the nation is richer by two hundred
millions than it was when he became secre-
tary Of the treasury. Nobody appreciates
be impo lance of these facts more than he,
ard can any one wonder he had comfortable
reflections as the old year died? And he
mas done more than this. He has demon
s,ra,ed that this government can borrow
money as cheaply as any nation on the
CLONE He has made A per cent instead of
6 the popular rate of interest. He has
saved the government three millions u year
in interest from this time on, as long az We
have u public debt. The bonds he has re-
deemed would have run ten years longer, so
thirty millions would be charged 10 his
credit.
John Sherman will go into history as the
great ~fnancier of this country, with
Alexander Hamilton us Grant will be the
companion here Of Washington and Lin
coin.

law allows each commissioner a salary Of

performed by an accountant. In the late
report to the secretary of the treasury, i'll
obedience to a resolution of congress, the
commissioners say that the assets tranferred
TO them by the officers Of the Freedman's
bank at the time Of it's failure, amounted
nominally to Ss,693,0 95. They have called
in five years since the failure of The bank,

idends is S4l7. The most remarkable par,
of this bankruptcy case is that during the
first six months Of the commissioners ser
vice they paid out under the head Of salaries
of agents $2l,9l2. Total paid in five years
$64,229. The advertising account for the

WE understand that there is a
movement on foot in different por-
tions of Los Angeles county to in
vite a number of able speakers, who
are known to be opposed to the
new Constitution, to address the
people of the rural districts. This
is an excellent idea. No farmer
who knows his real interests will
vote for confusion and disaster,
which would both follow in the
train of the new Constitution, il
adopted. The farmers should be
talked to by persons competent to
explain to them the real bearings
of the case. Such men as Gen. j.
r. Mcconnell, Judge Brunson and
Major Frank Ganahl could do the
cause of law and order world Of
good by going freely out in the
country districts. We learn that
the Monte, Anaheim, Downey and
Santa Ana propose to extend invi.
tstions to these gentlemen to come
out and address them. They should
accept, by all means.
