STEWARDS DEATH.

When Stewart died, on April 10, 1876,
it was supposed he left a fortune in the
neighborhood of 900. Of this he left
but $10OO,00O, but nearly all of it went to
his widow, who had beer a Miss Clinch,
but Judge Hilton was as much master Of
the fortune as if he were Stewards only
son and heir. The magic Of Stewart S
power of money-making, however, was
buried with him. Judge Hilton knew
every secret of the great merchant
prince, who had risen from an errand
boy, except the secret of his success.
With Stewart Hilton could do anything
without him all Hilton's plans went
wrong. He changed the name of the
great firm of A. T. Stewart TO Hilton,

toms son-in-law, and Denning one Of

JUDGE HILToNs CAREER.

hGuIy I1lIlOn was DOTH III NEW 4OIk
seventy-five years ago. Little IS known
of his early life, but at the age of fifteen
he was employed in a New York law Of
flee and here he met A. T. Stewart. Hill
ton was managing clerk of the law firm
and Stewards interests were left more
and more in his hands. In 1850 Hilton
resigned other business interests to con-
centrate his attention upon the affairs of
A. T. Stewart in the joint capacity of
private counsel and private secretary. It
was a position of extreme confidence, and
Hilton knew to the minutest detail every
project undertaken by the man who was
rapidly achieving an international repu-
tation for commercial shrewdness.
In the early ffties Hilton married a
sister of James H. Banker. later presi-
dent of the Bank of New York. After
his marriage he became ambitious for
other honors than those connected with
his intimate association with the million
aire merchant, and in 1857 he became
judge of the court of common pleas.
He was on the bench until 1863, and then
became a park commissioner under the
Tweed regime, a position he held until
the collapse of that powerful boss
All this time Judge Hilton maintained
his interest in the affairs of Mr.. Stewart.
He counseled the latter to keep pace
with the northward tendency of the city's
residential sections and favored the mer-
chants project of building the great
store on the block bounded by Broadway,
Fourth avenue, Ninth and Tenth streets
In 1862, when Stewart first made known
this scheme, he was laughed at by his
rivals. They thought his Unsuitable am
bition had at last worked his ruin. But
the building went up and In 1868 the
store, which today is one of the finest
in the world, was opened.
At this time Judge Hilton formed the
wholesale dry goods firm of Hilton,
Campbell & Well, which worked in har-
mony with the retail store of A. T.
Stewart. Judge Hilton's firm was dis
solved in 1874 and thereafter he was con-
tinually at the Ninth street store
At this time the income of the mer-
chant price was over 100000 a year
from his business alone, and half again
as much from other investments. His
store was doing an annual business Of
close to $4,000.
Judge Hilton's work was mostly the
investing of the money so rapidly &C
cumulating. Niblo's Garden, the Colon
made hotel, in Lafayette place, 10000
acres at Garden City, the erection of the
great cathedral there, the planning Of
the Park Avenue hotel as a home for
working women, the erection of the man
sion at Thirty-fourth street and Fifth
avenue, the purchase of immense quaint
ties Of realty in the downtown section
were the chief investments.

HOW STATES Seeded
TO THE CONFEDERACY
From the Richmond Times.

From the Richmond Times.
As it may interest some of your readers
to learn some more of the facts concern
ing the secession of the southern states, 1
will, with your permission, give a few.
The first state to secede was South Caro-
lima, which she did December 20, 1860. The
legislature called a convention and the peo-
pie elected the delegates, and If there was
any union sentiment in the state it was
too weak to elect even one delegate, for
when the convention met it's one hundred
and sixty-nine members were unanimous
for secession. The next state was Mss s.
sippi; there also a convention OF the pc Jpla
was elected under call of the legisla-
ture, and on January Q, 1861, it passed an
ordinance of secession by a vote of 81 to
Is, nearly six to one. But it must not be
supposed that the small number who voted
against secession were unonists. They de-

some OF the co-operationists were In favor
Of secession If only the cotton states agreed
to II In joint convention. After Mississipni
the people OF Florida passed an ordinance
OF secession In convention on January 10,
1851, by vote of 60 to T. about nine to one.
And then came Alabama. whose convention
on January II, 1861, voted to secede by 81
to 80, the thirty-nine not being uniOnists,
but co-operationists, as the fifteen in the
Mississippi convention had been. In other
words, the difference in opinion in the Ala
bama convention was one between imme-
date secession and secession a little later,
and after the convention had passed the
ordinance many of the cooperation dele
gates came forward and pledged them
selves and their constituents to its support.
Georgia was the next state to secede,
which she did on January 49, 1851, by a vote
in her convention of POS to SO. Alexander
H. Stephens, afterwards vice president of
the Confederacy, and his brother, Judge
Linton Stephens, were the leaders of the
SO. Immediately after the ordinance was
passed Judge Linton Stephens introduced
resolution in which it was declared that
those who had opposed it did not deny the
right of state to seccde, nor that the
southern states did not have cause for Sc
cession, but that they only thought that it
ought not to be exercised until every eff
fort to preserve peace had been exhausted.
Ut must be remembered that at that very
time the senators and representatives in
congress of all the border southern states,
including Virginia, were making every eff
fort to induce the north to guarantee the
rights of the south in the union by const'-
tutional amendments, but which the north
utterly failed to do, though had 1t been
done peace most assuredly would have been
proserved.) And then Judge Linton Ste
phens' resolution in the Georgia convention
went on and declared that as evidence of
the fact that those who had voted against
secession did not deny the right of 4, nor
that the southern states had cause for it.
that all of those members of the conven-
ton who had voted against 1t. as well as
those who had voted for it, should sign the
ordinance which had been passed. That
resolution was adopted, and under II all
of the three hundred and one delegates
who had favored the convention of Geor-
gia (there had been four absent
when secession was voted on sign
ed the ord nance except six. and even those
six signed and placed on record a paper In
which they declared that they would sup
port the state in her action. Georgia, there
fore, went into secession with practically
the solid support of her people as
represented in convention. Louisiana

followed Georgia and seeded on January
26, 1861. The fight in that state was alto
gether between immediate secession and
cooperation, such as it had been in Ala
bama, the unionists, il there were any of
them in the state, being too weak to make
show. Those who favored immediate Sc
cession won over the co-operationists in the
election and the convention passed an or
dinance of secession by 113 to H. The six
states which have been named met to-
gether in congress at Montgomery, Ala,
on the 4th of February, 1861, and formed
the Confederate States of America, and in
the mean time the Texas convention had
on the LIST of February passed an ordinance
of secession by vote of 166 against Z. But
as the Texas ordinance was to be submitted
to direct vote of the people on February
%, that state did not join the confederacy
until after that date. When the vote of
the people was taken in Texas 1t stood for

self, but to be in favor of Texas becoming
an independent republic as it had been be-
fore annexation to the United States. In a
word, that Texas was to have nothing to
do with either the Confederate States or
tho United States The question there then
was between the Confederate States party
and the advocates of an Independent repub-
lie for Texas, as we have seen, won, by
very large majority, and Texas joined the
confederacy.
The next state to secede was Virginia
After all efforts for peace had failed, after
the action of the peace Conference"
which she had declared herself willing to
accept had been completely ignored by the
north, the Virginia convention passed
April II, 1861, an ordinance of secession by
a vote of SS to 55, there being one member
who asked to be excused from voting, and
eight absent; all of these latter afterwards
asked to have their votes recorded in it's
favor. OF the SIS members of the conven-
tion who voted against secession the ma
jority of them (32) were from what is now
West Virginia. And among the twenty
three who were from what now consti-
tutes Virginia, were no less personages
than Gen. Jubal A. Early and William C.
Wickham, both of whom were afterwards
among the staunchest Confederates Again,
when the time came for the signing of the
Virginia ordinance, of the original 152 del
egates to the convention, 1923 signed it and
% refused, including the one who asked to
be excused from voting. OF the twenty
three who failed to sign, only one was from
the state of Virginia, as now constituted,
the remainder being from what is now
West Virginia. But though a majority of
the West Virginia members did not vote
Tor secession. q majority Of them did sign
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-04-02

the ordinance after 1t was passed. For
what is now West Virginia had AZ delegates
in that convention, of whom rs signed it.
Besides these, when some OF these dele
gates from West Virginia, who had voted
against the ordinance, left the convention,
and went where they began to take steps
looking to a division of the state, they
were expelled by the convention, and their
places filled by others, who signed the
ordinance. So that in all there are really
l43 names attached to it.
On May g. 1861, the Virginia ordinance of
secession was submitted to direct vote
of the people of the state-including, of
course, what is now West Virginia-and
ratified by majority of $1,000, the present
state of Virginia being well-nigh unani-
nous for 1t, and there was even a strong
vote in its favor in West Virginia, many
of the counties there going for 1t. Arkan-
sas followed Virginia, seeding on May g.
1861. That state had elected a convention
long before, which was pretty evenly d.
vfded between immediate secession and CO.
operation, and as a result the convention
had decided to submit the question as be-
tween the two to the popular vote on Au-
gust l, 1861, and had then adjourned, SUBJ
Ject to the call of its president in case de-
Veiopments justified 1t. After the passage
or the Virginia ordinance the Arkansas
convention again met and then, as has

North Carolina was the next state to Sc
