Y., March 6, 1797, and had theroforo reached tha ripo old age of 77 yeass, ilo grad- uated from IHnmilton College, which was the ro- ciplent of his genorosity n short timo ego, in 1818, and being left with ono of tho largest land- od ostates iu this country Dy hie father, has do- votod himeoll mainly to its caro and improve- mont, Naturally genorous sud a sirong philan- throplst, he lirs boon idontifiod with nearly all the great charitnblo entorpriscs of the.country. In 1826 he joined the Ameriean Colonization Boctoty, to which he contribuied vory largely of his labor and his monoy, but ton yoara aftar, o withdrow from it and conuoctoed himsolf wich tho Awerican Anti-Slavory Socioty, in which he was tho vory backbone of the contest with the slave bolders. Ilis name was ono of tho mest prom- inont in connection with the Kansas struggle with tho Border-Ruflisns,jand bo was tho person- ol friend and monoyed coadjutor of old Jonx Drowx in his antl-slavory entorprises, and kept the Unilerground Railway tralns runuing almosy exclusivoly by bis liborality. In 1852, ho was olected to Congress, but resigned boforo bis timo expired, his coustitwents boiug dissatisfied Dbecause ho rofused to attond night scasions, tho “ Kansas-Nebrasks bill " being pending ab that time, and the discussions being more than or- dinarily exciting and fmportant, MMr. S, howover, hnd on aversion to being out of bed after 9 o'clock, and, sather than depsrt from his habita of lifo, resigned, and gave place to Hexny J. Goobwry, who was olected in bis stond. In 1853 Lo wos sdmitted {0 tho Bar, and subsoquently took part in sov- cral importaut trinle. At the outbreak of tho War, in 1861, he pronounced himself, in tho moat Zearful and uncompromiging maoner, in favor of vigorous prosccution of war, mado many Bpeoches, contributed largoly to the prees, and govo genorously of his money for the sameo pur~ poso, An cccontric mpn by nataro, ho was led into many sbsurd isms, sud took vory radical grounds on socialy political, and religious mat- tors, but the poor and tho sufforing always found n most steadfast and sympsthizing friond in him. Mie largest gifta have been made in tho caugo of omancipation nnd to buy homoes for tho poor. He praotically illus- tratod his opposition to land-monopoly by con- tributing from his largo property about 200,000 reres to institutions of lenrning, but tho most of it to poor whites and blacks in fifty-acro lota.

Idouot figuro that, but only tho interests of tho people, Whit differotica does it make o sme whether unother company Lud tho franchisoand patd for it for tho purpose of Dlackmalling tho old company ot of moro money, or whethor the old company ralscd tho amount and took the franchiso? Tho only ques- tion in my mind is: Has tho publio interest boen ine jured by the pesaugo of ho ordinsuce? Imnintaln hot it hasnot, Iuck no questions.
