At the first call for troops in 1881, he
used his influence and money in helping
to raise the 38th Ohio for the field, going

failing health compelled him to resign.
In 1866 his Stryker mill burned, and,

moved to Boston, where he resided until
1869, when he went to Minnesota. He
has since been extensively engaged in

fort Of q. b. Pendleton, Independent can
didate for Congress in the First Florida
district, to create sympathy and interest
in his behalf in this city, Saturday, was
a most signal failure. He held consu ltR-

day, and in the afternoon addressed a
small number OF colored men, women and
children in the capitol square. A few
whites were present, attracted by pure
curiosity.
None was overwhelmed with the abso.

to Congress. 1t is safe to say Col. David
son, the Democratic nominee, will receive
full share OF the coOred vote. indie

children TO him and spoke kindly TO them,
and asked them not TO dis urb him as he
wanted 10 take a long sleep. He then
went TO his room, closed the door and, It
