The discussion of bill introduced into

The discussion of bill introduced int
the House of Representatives to plac'
General J. c. Fremont on the re
tired list with the rank of major genera
recalls to mind one who has led yer,
eventful and really distinguished life
whose rewards have not been proper
toned to his services, but who perhaps
has received as full share of admiration
as his personal characteristics deserved
Soldier, explorer and scientist, he was
not one apparently endowed with those
qualities which draw to him popularity
To be remembered he had always to be
doing. When he rested he was forgotten
by the general public, though never by
the scientific and learned. A Southerner,
he had no claim to the attachment of his
own people. His early life, i,..stly or
otherwise, placed him under cloud, and
his after life did not redeem him, because
he antagonized the most cherished inter-
ests and sentiments of his people by BE-.
coming an abolition candidate for the
presidency, and subsequently by becom'
ing an active leader on the Northern side
in its fight against the South. Neverthe.
less, General Fremont had won distin
cuished place before the war. He began
his career as scientist by the survey
through the mountains of North Caro-
lima. in 1887, of the Charleston and Gin
cinnati railroad, then resolved upon,
never yet constructed. We next hear OF
him in those remarkable explorations
through the Rocky Mountains in further
ancc of the views of his distinguished
lat ather-in-law. Thomas II. Benton, whose
whole energies were enlisted in the idea
Of n trans-continental railroad, and trade
across the Pacific with the East. And
one result of these explorations was the
lncilitIes given to General Fremont to nc.
puire control of California during the
war, and then to add the most
brilliant gem in the diadcm of the Amcri-
Fan Union.
At the age Of &c, he is well nigh for.
gotten. He cannot be said to be neg.
ccted or impoverished; for it is fair to
presume that with his opportunities and
he has acquired ample for.
.une. As things aicgoing, the retirement
If General Fremont with high official
'ank is quite as appropriate as the he
'towmcnt of similar honors on other old |
soldiers of the army.
