brass howitzers, to carry dispatches
and supplies for Admiral Porter.
OF Terry's discharge of these peril
GUS duties, Admiral Porter, in an Of
fetal report to the secretary of the
navy, dated May 4, 1864, commented
most highly on his 2l-year-old officer
President Lincoln promptly adj
vanced Terry five numbers in the
grade OF lieutenants for gallantry and
Admiral Porter appointed him detail
officer on his staff, retaining him in
this capacity until the close of the
war. Terry was with the admiral dur
ing the operations against Forts Fish
er and Anderson, at the capture of
Wilmington and through the James
river campaign. participating in the
fall of Richmond and accompanying
President Lincoln into the city the
morning it was occupied by Gen.
Grant.
Terry then had European cruise
on the Ticonderoga, tour of theo-
retical inspection at Annapolis. served
as executive officer of the fagships
Severn and Worcester. was inspector
Of the Maryland lighthouse district,
and finally In 1851, secured his first
independent command Of a regular
warship, the cruiser Marion, attached
to the South Atlantic.
After tour of shore duty at League
island, Commander Terry was made Il
flag officer, distinction unique in its
grade, and given command of train
ing squadron, consisting of the Ports
mouth, the jamestown and the Sara

sci around the Pacific was summoned
to Washington as a member of the ex-

minds of many, it is undoubtedly true
that this phase of his character has
been more conspicuous than any
other-so conspicuous, indeed. as to
throw all others in the shade. But
there is broader side of his char
acter. with which those who have
served with him in congress. whether
OF his own political faith or not, have
been familiar. He is master of DO
litical methods. but he is a student
OF governmental policies as we'll.
There were few questions which came
before congress during his term in
the senate to the study OF which he
did not devote himself and concerning
which he did not have well-detined
ideas.
German looks like priest or u di-
plomat, with his smoothly shaver face,
his finely chiseled features, his thin
lips pressed closely together, and n
gray eye that is keen and searching
in its gaze. One of his greatest
charms is a smile that is winning
and confidential. even when some DO
litical scheme is lurking beneath it.
Nobody can retain personal enmity
for German after coming in close CON
tact with him. German is almost as
much resident of Washington as
he is of Maryland, and his Washing
ton house is open almost the year
round-cven now, when he is no long
er a member of the senate.
He has lost none of his political ac-
tfvity, although, for the first time
since the war. he no longer holds any
office. He still keeps his finger on
the party machinery, and looks ahead
to the day when he and those who
think with him will be in complete
control. He is young yet. as poll
ticians go. having only go years to
his credit. and many things may hap
pen before his final retirement from
the political field
