During his incumbency of that office his genial nature and pleasant address made him very much liked.

He then escorted Mr. Montgomery to the court- house, which he entered forthe first time, and presented him to Judges Cox, James and’ Mer- Tick. A short conference was held, and Mr, Mont- gomery was informed that there was no pressing cases that would interfere with his del his taking his place upon the bench for a couple of Weeks, if he needed that much time to settle up his private affairs, Mr. Montgomery said that he Would like to take that much time, and that he had telegraphed to ex-Representative Hall, of Jowa, who was to succeed him as Commissioner of Patents, to know when he would come tothis city. His resignation as Commissioner would take effect upon the appoinument of his successor. After looking about the court-rooms and chatting with iis neW associates, Mr. Montgomery caine TO THE PATENT OFFICE, where he was at once busily engaged in opening ‘his mail. A Star reported chatted with him while he read his letters, Mr. Montgomery said that he was much pleased with what he had seen at the court-house, and had been most cordialiy and ae tly received by the judges. He said that did not expect to go to Michigan before assum- ing the duties of the ‘new office, and he thought that ten days or two weeks would be sufficient Ume for him to attend to what private business he had. The conversation was constantiy inter- rupted by officials and others of the Department ‘who came in to offer their congratulations, A SKETOH OF HIS CAREER. Mr. Martin Van Buren Montgomery was born in Eaton County, Michigan, October 20, 1840, and was reared there with no other educational training than that afforded by the public schools, inter- with plenty of muscular exercise’ at the plow and hoe. When the rebellion broke out he enlisted in the 2d Michigan cavalry, only to serve therein but a few montl having contracted a disease which destroys his “health, and ee Lebauernegd his 2a to the a of mili- y jons, Arrit at a suitable age, he appiied himselt assiduously to the study of the law, and shortly after passing his minority he was aduiltted to the bar, at which he profited largely in the way of experience by coming in contact with many of the most eminent men of the pro- fession, whose renown was co-extensive with the country itself, In 1870, Mr. Montgomery entered upon the domain eee and after a most ex- citing contest, the districts’ being strongly repub- lican, was, by a Majority, elected to the State legislature, whi it seems one term Proved enough to satisfy his ambition for legisla- lve honors. This was the first and only public position he had ever heid until, in 1876, tne demo- crats of his district selected him to represent them as a delegate to theSt. Louis National Democratic Convention, at which Mr. Tilden received the nom- ination for the Presidency. From that time he continned the practice of his profession, making Sea ee oy ee eS taking and, therefore, a successful lawyer.

But he is not a resident of the ind that sums up my objections to the appointment. It has understood for some time past that Mr. Mont- gone would receive the appointment, although 1e names of able and nt residents of District were brought to the attention of the President.

H. Stnith rises by the leader's box, and after his manner, like & bland shopkeeper at his counter doing the cour- testes to his customers, turns to the chair, moves his right hand ina graceful wave over the box and then sinks into his seat. Scarcely a second did he permit to intervene between the speaker ‘subsiding into his seat and his RISING TO PROPOSE CLOSURR. Nor was the speaker less alert. There was not 2 Particle of the anticipated hesitation, and without & moment's delay he formally declared to the house the question. Then the ministerialists ex- press their delight in a loud, hearty cheer. From the opposition benches, on the other hand, came strong ironical cheers, and from the Parneliite and radical quarter, yells of derision, scorn and anger, together with cries of “tyrants,” “conspiracy,” “shame,” and a number of other exclamations in all sorts of keys, It is impossible to do justice to the supremely antmated and lively scene which filled up the brief interval between the announce- ment of the closure motion and the first formal Putting of the motion. THE EXCITEMENT WAS TREMENDOUS. Even the cool, disciplined hands in the journal- ists’ seats found it tobea trying moment. The temper of the house cooled by the time the motion ‘Was put for a second time, when the cry of “No!” 13 overwhelming in its strength of volume for a second or two.

As they moved slow. 1y out of their seats towards the door in four or five streams they are a source of intense excite ment and noise. Cries arose like “richts of minorities,” “down with coercion,” “will fight to the * “down the speaker.” ‘Mr, Smith is said to have named Mr. Biggar to the speaker as the honorable Member who de- nounced.
