president. In August of the same year
he married Cecilia, only daughter of
Judge Stewart of Mansfield o. His po-
liticnl advancement was rapid. He was
elected senatorial delegate to the Balti-
more convention which nominated Gener-
al Scott for the presidency in 1852, and
his position as a conservative Wing dur
ing the excitement consequent upon the
attempt to repeal the Missouri compro-
mise obtained his election to the Thirty
fourth congress. in which he took his seat
on Dee. 3, 1890.
At the close of his second term in CON
gress he was recognized as one of the
most prominent members of the house,
and on his reelection to the Thirty -siXth
congress he made a determined but I'M
successful fight for the Speakcrship
against Mr. Pennington of New jersey.
During this term he was appointed chair
man of the committee of ways and
means.
IN 1860 he was again elected to cou-
grcss and then performed one of his most
signal public acts. President Buchanan
was at the time much pcrplexed by the
nations finances, the public debt having
increased from $4,000 900 to 100000
600. The government was so short of
money that even the salaries of the mem
bers Of congress were not paid. Sher-
man framed and had passed the bill au-
thorizing the issue of the treasury notes
of 1860, which relieved the government
from its financial straits.
In March, 1861, ne was elected to the
United States senate on the resignation
of Salmon II. Chase and was reelected
in 1867 and 1878. During the greater
part of these terms he was chairman Of
the committee on finance and served also
on the committees on agriculture, Pa
ciGc railroads. the judiciary and the pat
emf office.
In March. 1877, he was appointed sec
rotary of the treasury by President Hayes
and gave universal satisfaction 10y an adj
ministration which resulted in the re-
sumption of specie payments two years
later One of his most brilliant achieve
ments as financier was the re-establish-
ment Of the country's credit by placing
5000 goo, 600 of government ~ per cent
bonds
On March 3. 1880, having been re-elect-
ed to the United States senate, he re
signed the treasury portfolio
On Dee. &, 1885. he wns chosen presi-
dent of the senate and was reelected to
that body on the expiration of his term
in the January following. In 1887 ne
took an active part in urging a reciproc-
ity treaty with Canada and in the debates
on the fisheries dispute, and in the fol-
lowing year he was one Of the strongest
supporters of the proposed annexation of
that country.
He was appointed secretary Of state
under the present administration, but the
onerous duties of that position. which
grew heavier and heavier as our relations
with Spain became more and more crit
ical, proved too much for the failing
powers of the aged statesman. The more
responsible duties of his position We're
gradually transferred to Assistant Secrc-
tary Day, with the final result that Sec
rotary Sherman resigned soon after the
war broke out.

Murderer May Go Free

Wheeling, w. VaOct 3 -Lud Madi-
son, who was sentenced to be hanged at
Moundsville last January seems to be
about to escape punishment for the muir
der of negro in Fayette, for which he
was sentenced. Two days before execu-
ton day Gov. Atkinson granted ninety
days reprieve. The case seems to have
since escaped the minds Of those in au-
thority, and Madison is still IN the peni-
Tertiary.
The Judge who sentenced him is dead,
and Gov Atkinson holds that the day OF
execution having passed he cannot be re-
sentenced. AS he was never sentenced TO
Imprisonment, he cannot be held in the
penitentiary and he cannot be tried again
for his ofense. He will probably be sci
free within few days.
