CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, who died n
Boston few days ago, at the advanced
age Of eighty, had an extensive and
varied career. A part Of his boyhoOd
was spent In Washington City, when
his father, John Quincy Adams, was
President. He studied law with Daniel
Webster, served in his State Legislature
and In Congress, and in 1849 was can
didste for Vice President on the Free
Soil ticket with Martin Van Buren. He
was appointed Minister TO EDgland by
President Lincoln In 1861 and held that
important post during our Civil War,
acQuittiDg himself with great credit.
He took but little part In politics after
his return from England, though more
than once spoken of for President, Mr..
Adams was man of marked upright.
ness and purity of character. In both
his public aud private career be was an
honor to his State aud his country.

The news of his death came as great sur

His disease was one effecting the kidneys,
and those nearest him had no faith in his

Of New York Mr.. Arthur returned to the
practice of law in that city, and continued to
take an active part in politics, contributing
materially to the nomination and the sleO-
tion of Mr.. Cornell to the governship Of the
state. He was Jealous supporter OF the
claims of Gen. Grant to the Repu, l.can nom.
ination for the presidency in the ChlcagO
convention Of 1880. When the movement to
nominate Gen. Grant was defeated, and Mr..
Garfield was made the candidate, Mr.. Arthur
was nominated for the vice presidency BY
reclamation.
He presided in the senate durire, the special
session, which began on the 4th of March,
with dignity and general acceptance. 1t was
during this time that President Garfield re
ceved the shot that subsequently proved
fatal While the president fingered between
life and death from July . to September 10,
the vice president refrained from all part in
the public affairs. The presidents death
was announced to him in New York by
teIegraphic dispatch from the members Of

would repair to Long Branch the following
morning
In accordance with the advice Of hb
friends he took the oath of office at his house
in New York before one of the judges Of the

brief address in which he expressed his sense
of the grave responsibilities deyolved upon
him The same day, as his first official act,
he proclaimed general day Of mourning
for his predecessor.
A special session Of the senate was called,
to begin on October 10, for the purpose Of
