KTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT.

Formerly the IXth was Republican strong
hold, and was represented in the Common Couhcl
BY John Jacobus u. s. Marshal, but big slice
of his Republican strength was cut oil by the re-
epportonment of 1873, when five election dls-
tricts. giving 1000 Republican majority, were
taken from it and given to the With. Despite
this the IXth elected Republican Aldermen ana
Assemblymen until 1884. United States Mar
shall Jacobus represented the district IN the Com
mon Council from 1873 to 1881. Excepting the
Xth it is the largest district in point of population
below Twenty third-st. Its total registration III
1888 was 1l,14O, Harrisons vote was 4,679;
CleveIand's, 5000: Millers. 4,35s; Hills, 6,l77;
Erhardts, 1906; Grants, 4,017; Hewitts, ago ;
Jacobuss 4,368. Holcombs vote for Assembly
last year was 4,243; Grel, the Republican can
didate, received 2,760.
The district extends along the North River front
from Houston TO West SiXteenth-st, thence along
the latter thOroughfaFe TO Eghthave 10 Fourth
ST.. down Fourth-st. TO West Washington Place,
thence to Sixth-ave To Carmine-st., 10 Beecker,

Gorman's successor. is the Tammany leader, but
his leadership is being sharply disputed ny AS
semblyman Wright HocOmb The Republican
leader is Uncle George Deane, vice-president
Of the General County Committee,
divides the patriarchal honors OF the Committee
with his neighbor of the With, the veteran John

il is maintained that Mr.. Deane is the elder by
four months. It is also maintained. and the
claim is yet TO be successfully disputed, that
he is one Of the youngest men
Of his years on Manhattan Island. Vigorous and
active in mind and body, he presents an excellent
example of the results that follow life lived
temporarily and wisely, ever amid the mob and
whirl of politics and business in the metropolis.
Mr. Deane was born in Albany on May q,
1918. He came to New-York when boy and

The industry and skill which Judge Lacombe has given
to this branch OF the court work have resulted In this
remarkable record. large part Of the 1852 orders
signed in the court gear also granted by him.
The rapid clearing Of the docets and the prompt dis
patch Of business since Judge LacOmbe was appointed
make it evident that the Law providing for the selection
second Circuit Judge for this district was none too
promptly passed The action Of Judge Lacombe on the
latest application for habeas corpus for the murderer
Wood met with universal appreciation outside Of the
office Of Woods lawyer The writ Of habeas corpus is
so sacred right that Judge refuses to consider an
application for writ, but when the application IS
apparently made only for purposes OF delay, and on
frivolous grounds, public opinion evidently sustans ule
Judge who takes advantage Of technical points TO pre-
vent tue perversion Of justice. AS Woods counsel was
not a member Of the Circuit Court BAR Judge LacomDe
treated the application rregularly made, and fur

vented.

The june term at the General Sessions wss remark

all the short disposed of in one part Of the
court while the other parts occupied in the trial
of long and important cases. including several hond-
eide cases. The number of disposed of in Part
was greater than at any previous term OF criminal
court in this country. More were acted upon by
the court than by the Grand Jury in the same space
of time that if only part had been sitting the
calendar would still have been smaller at the end
than at the beginning of the term. several homicide
cases were tried before the Recorder, including the
holly contested OF the Algerian accused Of killing
Carrie Brown after the methods Of Jack the Ripper
The result Of the trial Of Ella Nelson was regarded by
the public as failure of justice, but in that as in

Co ID, Slst Ohio, Princeton, Ind.
THE slst Ohio was raised during the months
Of August and September, 1861, from the State
at large. it was first intended TO be called
" Morton's Independent Rifle Regiment" but
as Col. Morton had trouble with one or two
companies which were sent to st. Louis Mo-,
in advance of the other companies, and which
were incorporated into other regiments, 50 that
it did not seem likely that Col. Morton could
fulfill his promise in the required time, the
State took the independent regiment in hand,
aud called 10 the Slst Ohio. The regiment was
sent to Benton Barracks. and on Sept. 2f, 1851
il was ordered 10 franklin, Mo-, and a day or
two after to Herman, where they remained for
some time. 1t now numbered eight companies
with an aggregate Of 500 men, and they were
kept guarding railroads and scouting for guer-
rillas. They were ordered to St. Louis
March /. 1862, aud sent up the Tennessee
River, discriminating at Pittsburg Landing
March Il, and was assigned to McArthur's
(Secondl Brigade, Second Division, Army of
the Tennessee. They took part in the battle
Of Shiloh, and showed conspicuous galantry.
They took part in the siege Of COrinth and the
battle at that place Oct. 3 and 4. 1862; they
were in the skirmish at Town Creek Ala,
April 2S, 1863. In January, 1861, three-fOurths
of the men were willing to enlist; but the Sec
rotary of War decided that the five new COM
panies which had been recruited for the regi-
ment, and which had joined Oct. 10. 1562, were
not entitled 10 the privilege Of Te-enlisting and
this prevented the regiment from going North
as a veteran organization. The old companies
furnished a lot Of veterans, however, who went
home in two squads. The regiment eOncen-
trated at Pulaski April 25 1861, and took an
active part in the siege and capture Of Atlanta,
being engaged at Lays Ferry, Rome Crossroads.
Dallas July %, and July Is at Atlanta, and
Jonesboro Sept. l. They went through with
sherman TO the sea, and took part in the siege
of Savannah and the battle of BentOnyille,
NC. In all these scenes and actions the 81st
ever bore an honorable part. The regiment
lost four officers and 81 men killed or died OF
wounds. and 100 men died of disease accidents,

now in command OF the White Squadron.
While Chief Of the Bureau OF Navigation he
used 10 sit behind a hicli.top desk ia the Navy
Department, which hid him from the view OF
a person entering tho room. One day a blum
dering young Ensign went to the Department
to see Walker in the hope OF having his assign
ment changed. Walker is a good deal of a
martinez, and insists upon being very respect
fully addressed by the young men in the SER
vice. The young sailor stumbled into the Com
modore's room and, not seeing anyone, bawled
out:

Immediately began 10 apologize.
