James Crooks has sold to ex-Mayor William @, Watson, twenty-three lots of the Madison Park proe perty, at Paterson, N. J., for $11,500, or $500 perAot. ‘The real estate known ag the Carrington pro- perty, on Broad street, above Green, in Newark, N. J., was sold to Alderman Orson Witson @ few days ago for $42,000, It has a Broad street frontage of seventy-seven feet and six inches, with a depth of 130 feet. With the addition of the corner tot it would make a handsome site for the new hotel. Last week the Board of Directors of the Norfolk and Great Westera Company, in session in Rick- mond, contracted for the sale of 500,000 acres of land, now held, or hereafter to be acquired, to the Virginia International Land Company, composed of number of wealthy gentlemen in New York, seve- ral of whem spent two weeks in the early part of June in emai of the country along the line of the proposed rau! .

On yesterday the news came that he was dead, Hig disease, it appears, was ulceration of the bowels, although when first attacked (ue gravity of his case was not apparent, Mr. Fessenden, though by mo means a young man, was yet in the prime of life, bemg not quite sixty-three years of age. He was boro on the 16th of Uctoher, 1806, im Boscawen, Merrimac county, N. H., graduated at Bowdoin College in 1823, and after studying law was admitted to the par in 1827. He began she practice of his profession in Bridgeton, Me., but in 1829 moved to Portland, where he ever after resided. From the outset he controlled a large and prefitable business, winning reputation at the same time for the marked, ability with which he conducted all the affairs of his profession as well as for the general success which atiended the law cases entrusted to his charge. Necessarily (at least necessarily in this country) as a lawyer of prominence, he soon entered into political life. As wittT law, 0 with politics, he achieved marked success from the start. In 1831 he was elected to the State Legislature irom Portland, and although but a young man of twonty-fve years was distinguished among his eolleagnes for his pow- ers as@ debater and for the skill and legal acumen he displayed a3 alegisiator. On the expiration of his term Mr. Fessenden declined to serve again. Am~ pitious as he was for political preferment his pri- vateaffairs compelled him to devote his undivided atvention to the practice of his profession. Before he abandoned this self-imposed abstinence from ao- tive participation in politicos he was numbered among the most distinguished members of the Maine bar. Few New England lawyera have won 80 rapid and substantial @ reputation as he did. While quietly attending to business numeroas opportunities were adforded for re-entering into poll- tics, but he withstood and deolined. them all, In 1838 atrong efforts were made to induce bim to be- come a candidate for Congress. ‘These, as with pre- vious others, he resisted. in 1839, however, after declining some two or three Umes and protesting against his nomination, he was elected a member of the Legisiature for the second time. At this time Mr. Fessenden was @ stanch member of the whig party while a majority of the Maine Legisiature was strongly democratic. Under these circumstances bis chance of being selected for distinction would have been rather gloomy had not his legal reputation stood 80 nigh that he was actually placed on the Judiciary Committee by the democrats and subsequently elected chairman of the House Committe: to Revise the State Statutes. He was now fairly embarked on the gea of politics, In 1840 he was nominated py the whigs for and elected to Congress, his personal popularity enabling him to run far ahead of his party vote. His career in the House of Representa- tives was, on the whole, quite creditable. His speeches on the Loan bill, Bankrupt law and other measures then of public interest, and -iis speech in reply to Caleb Oushing, fully sustained his reputa- tion as an orator of ability. Upon the expiration of his term he declined a re-election, and soon after re- ceived the whig vote for Senator in Congress, but was defeated, the democrats then having a majority in the Legislature. In 1845, the temperance question crea- ting considerable excitement, Mr. Feasenden was in- Quenced to lend his‘aid to the gronibitionists. He became their candidate for the Legislature and was @lectea after a bitter canvass. During the following year he was again returned in the interest of the temperance men, but, upon the expiration of his term, peremptorily refused to become a candidate of theirs again, not because he had ceased to aympa- thize with their prinoiples,.bat mainly because of us desire to resume the uninterrupted practice of his professton. Except as a member of whig national conven- tions Mr. Fessenden took no active part in poll- tics from 1846 to 1852. Once, indeed (1850), he was tne candidate of the whig and free soll coalition for Congress, and, although elected, an error tn the returns compelled the State authorities to give the certificate of election to his Vet martin He was urged to contest the seat thus but positively refused to aceede to the wishes of his frends in this respect, declaring that he did not feel the slightest desire to be in Congress. In 1848 he was a member of the Whig Convention which nomi- nated General Zachary Taylor, In concert with large majority of the delegates from New pee he supportea and pressed the claims of Daniel Web- ster for the nomination. Four years later his views regarding Mr. Webster's avaiiability for the nomina- the statute books, atthe same time endeavoring to prevent his Soleenee of the majority from over- stepping the of prudence. nti! the insane project of impeachment was rushed Dio the House of Representut! the pares whip of Thad stevens and Ben Buller, Mr, oden bad stood ‘high wjth his party.

It was hardly dented by the leaders of the impeach. ment movement that their action was Lari parti- sap, and not governed by considerations of public importance. , Johnson had done nothing to war- dent before bim had not done, In the face of a law that he - believed unconstitutional he had removed an obuoxious Secretary, He was impeached and tried. When the vote was taken in the Senate Mr, Fessenden was one of the seven re- ublican Senators who voted for his acquittal. ‘Ihe ndent was acquitted. For not voting for his conviction Mr. Fesaenden was violently assailed by the radical organs ofthe country. Charges of cor- ruption were brought against him, It waa openly asserted that be had bargained away his vote for the consideration of @ few oMees. But these Cah 74 ended as they begau—in mere assertion. ie bore uncompiainingly the obloquy cast upon him. His speech explainng hig reasons for voting a8 he did was full of un- answerable ita.

The Pension OMce at Washington having sus- pended all action on pension cases of colored per- sons in the States of Alabama, Mississippi and ‘Tenneasee, in consequence of the diacovery of exten- sive frauds upon the Bureau, and there being a probability that @ large number of other pensions will be suspended for the same cause, attracts no little attention to the pension system, concerning which the pablic generally is so ignorant. Although Over 200,000 pensioners have been placed upon the Tolls since the commencement of the rebellion, and thousands of applications are being made every Month and will continue to be made for years to come, in consequence of the tardiness of claimants to present their cases, there js, probably, not a single claimant whose case remains to be settled that nas any idea of the proceas by which his rights are to be secured. Hun- dreds of widows, orphans and disabled veterans are to-day—fve years since the close of the war— i @till deprived of their pensions by ignorance of their claims upon-the government or the method of pro- secuting them; and many @ suffering family, now darely maintaining a miserable existence, might be receiving a comfortable little annuity if they only understoed theirrighta. The country ts fall of self- conatituted pension attorneys who seek out those entitled to pensions and receive handsome compen- gation for performing that which every applicant might understand and execute himself, and for the benefit of such a concise statement of the method of securing pensions will prove of great value. THE PENSION BUREAU of the goverament is located in the Interior Depart- ment at Washington, and employs, under its Com- missioner, H. Van Aernam, 224 clerks, filty- mine pension agents for the disbursement of pen- sions, and 1,200 examining surgeons, throughout the country, whose duty it is to examine applicants for invand pensions. Nearly every county has one or more of these surgeons, so that any disabled veteran May procure the necessary certificave of his disa- bulity without difficulty. Previous to the rebellion the laws relating to pensions were comparatively few in number and quite simpie in their Provisions; but the last war aroused such @ spirit of fraud that Congress was repeatedly called upon to make new enactments for the protection both of pensioners and the government, To pre- vent and detect fraud a secret special service was established in the Pension OMice. ‘The most effective means employed by this service is asystem of secret correspondence with pension agents, examining surgeons and postmasters throughout the country, to whom printed circulars are sent making stated inquiries in relation to each pensioner and applicant in the respective districts. By this method apy act on the part of a pensioner which would deprive him of his pension is speedily brought to the motice of the Commissioner, together with all the facts touching upon the merits of any original case presented for apension. Over $27,000 per annum had been saved to the govern- ment inthe last few years upon cases which might have been improperly paid but for this special ser- vice; and it 18 now proposed to assign special agents to geographical districts throughout the country in the following proportion:—First, New England; seoond, New York; third, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware; fourth, Ohio, Indiana and [limois; fifth, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa; sixth, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina; seventh, Kentucky and Tennessee; eighth, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana; ninth, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida; tenth, Texas, California and the Territories. office at any moment, @ acquittal of Mr. Johnson ‘was the preservation of the office of President. CONCLUSION. During the past few months Mr. Feasendon had been guletly remaining at home. Before his death he was ones by the knowledge that he had re- cot ‘the confidence of hia party. Personally he was a pleasant, affable gentleman. He was tall and dignified in hls appearance, and by his suavity of manners commanded the gespoct of all who knew him. As one of those who ‘® preminent part in the affairs of the republic a& the most momentous period of her history, he will not readily be forgotven. His fame will endure so long as the history of the United States is read. Jobn Doherty.
