many OF our older citizens as q native OF

his admission TO the bar, Mr.. SCOTT went
TO California in its early days, where he

mush-and-milk establishment for the un-
washed and unkempf heroes OF BRET

cidCnt made him the chosen orator
for a Fourth-of-July celebration. Here
was his opportunity. and he improved
It. The address, Of course, was emnenliy
patriotic. and this, with happy delivery
and \ sympathetic voice. convinced the
public that SCOTS talents could be de-
voted TO a much higher purpose even than
the supply Of mush and milk for these
hardy sons OF toll. lie went to the bar,
and soon secured lucrative practice. In
1856 he was nominated for Congress by the
Democrats. and elected by an overwhelm-

pending, and the imminence of great
sectional war, led him TO turn his back on

was shot down i'm the fight, and, returning
20 the field before his wound was fully
healed. he became permanently disabled for
active duty. Since the war Major SCOTT
has on several occasions represented Ala
