all who favored tho decentralization
of government and the condemnation
of all who believed in the strengthen

1t was he who wrote in 1857 the Inn

now considered by historians to have
been one of the causes of the Civil War.
He ruled in this instance that Congress

was not adverse to second attempt
to crafty his parents ambition. He
was a candidate for the House of Dele
gates in 1903 on the Federalist ticket,
but was defeated.
The romance of his life eliminated
when on January T. 1906, he married
| Anne Phebe Charlton Key, sister of
Francis Scott Key, the future author
of The Star Spangled Banner" a
friend with whom he had read law.
In 1911 he defended Gen. James Will
kinson on his trial before a court-mar-
tial thereby mourning a personal share
in the odium that attached to his client,
yet refusing to accept a fee for his
services.
During the War of 1912 he led wing
of the Federal party upholding the gov
eminent and was candidate for Con-
gress on that platform, failing OF VIC
tory by only few votes. From 1915
to 1921 he served in the State Senate,
where he drew up many OF the bills
passed during that period.
In 1919 he again challenged popular
sentiment by defending Jacob Gruber,
a Methodist minister from Pennsyl-
vania, who in a public utterance had
condemned slavery and was SUISSE
quently indicted as an inciter of re-
bellion among the Negroes.
Removing to Baltimore in 1928, he
became the acknowledged leader of the
bar in that city. In 1927 he was
chosen attorney general of Maryland, a
post which he retained until 1881, when
he was named Attorney General of the
United States in the cabinet of Presi-
dent jackson. He was a national figure
at last and 1t was not long before his
name was on the lips of the people in
even the most remote backwoods OF the
country.
COunseIed With Jackson.
As Jacksons most trusted counselor,
he inevitably became involved in the
Presidents determination to remove the
Government deposits from the United
States Bank. To effect this purpose he
was transferred by Jackson to the post
of Secretary OF the Treasury in Sep
tember, 1888. There followed his APP
pointment one of the bittereSt congress
sionaI battles of the century. Henry
Clay led the opposition. All Winter the
debate ragged. Finally q resolution, sug-
gested by Clay, was passed by the Sem
ate declaring that jackson had "as-
Sumed authority and power not con-
ferred by the Constitution and laws, but
in derogation of both" Taney's APP
pointment to the Treasury was reject
ed On June rs, 1884, he resigned his
place in the cabinet and returned to his
professional practice in Baltimore.
In January of the next year, Presi-

cividual liberty from the encroachment
of the military authorities. He became
intensely unpopular. The South was
obviously being whipped into submits
sion as his career drew to its close.
He died on the very day on which
the state Of Maryland abolished
slavery. This was October II, 1864.
Had he survived a few months longer
he would have been obliged to witness
the final collapse Of the party to which
by birth, training and temperament he
belonged.
But the controversies which obscur-
red his fame while he lived have sub
sided, and now at last in the COM
munity in which he won his first and
sweetest victories he Is to be honored

fused to ratify the appointment. The
President, however, felt that he could
afford to wait another opportunity.
The political complexion of the Senate
was changing. When John Marshall
died, Jackson Immediately nominated
fancy as his successor as Chief Justice.
Henry Clay made bitter fight to again
prevent confirmation, but he failed. On
March Is, 1896, the Senate voted its
approval, and fancy took his seat
without further difficulty.
He served as Chief Justice for %
years. Throughout the whole of this
long period he was a "strict construc-
ZIONIST as opposed to the loose con-
strllctionists" Jay and Marshall, who
had been his predecessors. He was
hostile to the policy of allowing wide
scope to the powers of Congress and an

the council yesterday instructed

Boulevard in Resolution
Sent D. c. Commissioners

Copies Of a resolution asking
that Eastern and Western Ave
nues in the District of Columbia
be connected, forming an arterial
highway along the Montgomery
county boundary line, are being
sent to the District Commission
ers, the Director of the Budget
and Maryland Congressman by
the Silver Spring Chamber Of
Commerce.
L'Enfant's idea
The resolution states that the
original Capital City plan called
for, great bOulevards along the
western and eastern boundaries
Of the District Of Columbia, to
be known as Western and Eastern
Avenues, as conceived by Major
L'Enfant and approved by the
Mcmillan survey of 1901.
The plan fostered by the Silver
Spring Chamber of Commerce
offers an opportunity and loca.
ton for the most picturesque and
usesful major suburban highway
project remaining yet unbuilt
within the District, the resolution
declares.
Connecting Links
If these avenues are joined it
would provide a boundary boule-
ward along the District of Colum-
