EVENING STAR. Largest Circulation in the Distriet WASHINGTON CITY: Reading Mater on Every Page Ne Paper on Christmas. . In conformity with proper and well-established usage, and im order to give all persons connected with the publication of Tae Sra! opportu- nity to engage in the festivities of the season, no paper will be issued from this office to-morrow, unless unusually important and interesting news should transpire, in which event an extra will ‘be published. ‘Tne year 1869 will be notable in history for the number of its distinguished dead, and posterity will undoubtedly recognize Edwin M. Stanton as the central figure in this group of departed ones. For the last ten years a leading actor in the stormiest times of our republic, his namo has within a few weeks again been brought prominently before the public by his appoint- ment to the Supreme Court Bench, an sppoint- ment deemed by the country at Iarge eminently fit to be made not merely from his great public Services, butin consideration of his legal ability and attainments and his unquestioned . His name being the uppermost in the public mind, the shock from the announcement of his sudden death was the greater, and will be felt Olina about the middle of the eighteenth cen- tury. His grandparents were Benjamin and Abigail Stanton, who resided near Beaufort, in North Carolina. The maiden name of the latter ‘was Abigail Macy, and she was a descendant of that Thomas Macy, ho was perhaps the earliest white settler of Nantucket, aud whose flight thither, upon pursuit for giving shelter to a hunted-down Quaker, is the subject of one of Whittier’s poems. Benjamin Stanton, the Sec- retary's grandfather, in his will expressed the “will and desire that all the poor black people that ever belonged to me be entirely free when- ever the laws of the land will allow it; until which time my executors I leave as guardians to Protect them and see that they be not deprived Of their right or any way misused.” In the year 1800 bis widow, with a large family of children, removed to Ohio. One of her children was Dr. David Stanton, who married Lucy Norman, a native of Gulpeper county, Virginia, daughter of Thomas Norman, Fsq. Her father was a Virginia planter, who resided near ‘Stevensburg, ‘and was owner of the farm on which was fought, ‘im 1862, the battle of Cedar Mountain. Dr. David Stanton was an eminent and highly respected physician in Steubenville, Ohio. His eldest child was Edwin M. Stanton, who ‘Was born at Steubenville, Ohio, December loth, 1815. At the age of thirteen he became a clerk in the bookstore of James Turnbull, of Steuben- ville. After three years spent here, in the year 1851, he became a student of Kenyon Coliege, where he remained until some time in the year 1835. After leaving college he was again em- ployed as a clerk in the bookstore of James ‘Turnbull, at Columbus. He subsequently studied law im the office of his guardian, Daniel L. Collier, Esq., at Steubenville, and at the age of twenty-one (im 186) was admitted to the bar. He immediately commenced to practice his profession at Cadiz, Harrison county, Ohio, and Was elected prosecuting attorney of the county. Shortly afterward, having aequired a large cir- cuit practice, he removed to his native town of Steubenville, and in 15i2 was elected by the | i recollections called up of Mr. Stanton by those who had known him somewhat intimate- ly, served to show how .kmd and generous a warm friend, and always was he true to his early General Assembly of Ohio reporter of the de- | Triends, whether of low or high degree. Only cisions of the Supreme Court. He prepared and published volumes eleven, twelve, and thirteen of the Ohio State Reports. Though Mr. Stan- ton’s attention was chiefly given to his profes- sion, yet, evem at this time, he took @ somewhat active part im the polities of his county and State as a member of the Democratic party. In ISH, he began to practice law in Pittsburg, as a partner of the Hon. Charles Shaler, and al- though still retaining an office at Steubenville, his attention was chiefly given to cases before the courts of Pennsylvania and the United States District, Circuit and Supreme Courts. Among the most important causes in which he was engaged were those known as the “Erie War” cases, in which he was counsel for the railroad company; and the Wheeling Bridge case, which he conducted as counsel for the State of Pennsylvania. Iu the latter part of 1856 he removed to Washington city, to attend to his practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, in which he had acquired a lead- ing and lucrative practice. In 135% he went to California as special counsel for the Govern- ment in certain land cases, involving public in- terests of great magnitude, and for his manage- ment of these cases, he received fees almost un- exampied. In Decembc., 1560, while engaged before the U ited States Cireuit Court at Cincinnati, in a suit arising out of the couflicting interests of the Ma aud MeCormick reaping machine (it wa» at su earlier stage of this litigation, in 1859, and at the same place, that he first met Mr. Lineoln, who was of counsel on the same side,) he wes nominated to tke office of Attorney Gen- eral by President Buchanan, whose old Cabinet was then falling to pieces around him. Mr. Stanton’s attitude throughout the remainder of Mr. Buchanan's administration was that of de- termined opposition to the traitors in the Cab- met, and resolute maintenance ef the national honor. At the expiration of Mr. Buchanan term he resumed his profession, but did not relax his interest or efforts in behalf gf the national cause. On the 20th of January, 1862, he was appeiuted by Mr. Lincoln, Secretary of War. He continued a member of Mr. Lincoln's Cabi- net, enjoying the most cordial friendship and confidence of the President throughout the rest of his first term, and during his second term up to the time of Mr. Lingoln’s assassination. On the Sth of August, 1967, Mr. Johnson requested his resignation, epon the ground of public considerations of a high character, to which Sec- retary Stanton replied, that “public considera- tions of a Ligh character which alone had in- duced him to remain at the head of this Depart- ment, constrained him not to resign before the next meeting of Congress.” On the 12th of August, Mr. Johnson notified | him of his suspension from the office of Secre- tary of War. During his service as Seeretary ef War, after Mr. Jolmson’s accession, Mr. Stanton supported the following measures passed by Congress agatust the President's op- | position —Ist. Freedmen’s Bureau bill. 2d. ‘The civil rights DHL 3d. The bill giving suf- | frage without regard to color in the District of Columbia. 4th. The bill admitting Colorado as ® State. Sth. The several acts known as the reconstruction acts, providing for the estab- iishiment of governments in the rebel States. It is not within the scope of this article to present, in detail, the particuinars of the important part taken by Mr. Stanton in the suppression of the rebéMign. His reia- tions to General McClellan and the Peninsular campaign; his relations to the rebel efearsivns im the Shenandoah Valiey and the defente of the Capital; his relations to the changes of ar- uiies and commanders; the building up and pull- Opposition to his own wishes that Mr. Lincoin in reply to a yersonal appeal for aid, made the jocose re- mark so often quoted, that he (Lincoln) had very little influence with this Administration. ‘among his nearest friends, and in his family cir- cle, could the warmth and tenderness of his af- fections be thoroughly known, so masked were they in his pubic intercourse by his stern, reso- lute bearing. A few years since, when he resided on C street, Mrs. Stanton was dangerously ill for a long time, and the distress of her husband was pain- ful to witness. He frequently visited the office of Ler attending physician—an eminent practi- tioner of this city—and with arms around his neck wept bitterly when told of her critical condition. On another occasion, Mr. Stanton, then being Secretary of War, sent for this same physician and directed him to visit the hospitals and prisons in this city, in which rebel prisoners were contined, to see that they were properly treated and nursed. He also placed at the disposal of the physician necessary means to procure for such sick and wounded prisoners delicacies and luxuries for their comfort, by which arrangement a large quantity of fruits and other articles were distributed to them. Many other instances of his real kindness and tenderness of heart might be related, but our time and space are not now adequate. —<—<ee-_____ PRESENT GRANT ON PortricaL DirrEr- eNcES.—At the dinner of the New England So- ciety, in New York, on Wednesday night, Attor- ney General Hoar, tn the course of his address, said that a few days ago President Grant ex- pressed himself about as follows at the close of a conversation, touching the present and future dondition of the country : “Thope to see the time when every man in this country may have the power to express his own opinion, to follow whom he pleases, to vote as he likes and to have his vote counted without molestation, or hinderance, or insult, {f we can only unite in b—rmerrneren —nery faith and creait, our political differences will not be of much ac- count.” ———_~-ee-- —__ Since the eleetion in Texas, Gen. E. J. Davis, the Governor elect, has said that he favored the removal of all disabilities as soon as the State is readmitted; that he favored the adoption of a gencral system of internal improvement by the Legislature; that he thought the education of all classes should be fully provided for, and that every effort should be made toinduce immigra- tion from Europe and elsewhere, only excepting the Chinese. The State now, he says, is practi- cally out of debt. CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION —The sAB- BATH SCHOUL OF WAUGH CHAPEL, corner north A streets, 5 ive an entertainment. consisting of singing, rect .
