ilonrieh only in the dancing schools. The high class programmes are also still made up with very few square dances, only four in fact out of twenty or thirty numbers in all on the gramme. The entertainment begins with a quadrille, and. the lancers occurs three times during the evening. The antipathy to square dances has not mitigated a particle this Winter, although it was expected that the increasing elegance and length of dresses of late years ould render dancing more sedate.

But the fact is that few people have room enough in their houses for square dancing. The galops and waltzes require very niuoh leas room and not only that, but they have the additional advantage of allowing a more frequent change of partners. Tliese considerations have so far been fatal to a revival of square dances, and the grammes of the present Winter omit them as much as possible. CIPHER Debate in the House on the Reso- Intion for an Investigation. A special to the Baltimore Gazette gives the key to the movement to give Corbin place in the Senate by show'ing it to be a scheme to retain Republican pscendancy in that body.

This is the reasoning the 4th of March next, with Butler in that body, the Senate will stand 42 Democrats, 83 Republicans and 1 Inde- I endent, Senator Davis of Illinois. If the scat should be given to Corbin it would stand 41 Democrats. 34 Republicans and 1 Independent, making a Democratic majority of 6 over all. In 1881 the terms of Rruce, Randolph, Eaton, Kenian, Wallace and Thurman, among the re.d, will expire. The Republicans, of course, concede a Democrat in the place of Bruce, but that is all they do concede.

McPherson, ill New was only elected by one inajerity, and the Legislature now Is overwhelmingly Republican; so is Connecticut, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Counting the Senators in these various who bold over, you can see that it be comparatively easy to return five Koiiublicans to the Senate in place of the Democrats who go out in 1881. Now go to work and figure on that. Suppose, lor instance, that we do make this gain as contemplated, then we lose one and win five, and the Senate will stand that time.

TO THE BOSTON POST. I ashington an 21. After the reading of the journal in tbe Hou.se to-day what was expected to be fixed day was begun by a motion by Mr Potter to adopt a resolution authorizing an investigation of the cipher despatches. It had been agreed that Imt an hour should be consumed in debate, but the agreement had been omitted from the journal, so that Mr Potter moved the previous question in order to limit the time. It was easy to sec, however, that the Republican members had no idea the discussion would be confined to an hour, for some of them, especially Gen.

Garfield, had come to the Hou.se primed with orations. Mr Potter simply said In introducing the resolution that he did not wish to discuss it, but to answer the attack which had been made npou him by Mr Conger of Michigan in a previous debate. What be said in his own behalf will be found in the general press despatch. He said it ui a manly, straightforward way, that must have convinced everybody who cfcrcs to be convinced that Mr Potter has been the undeserving object of a good deal of petty and malicious insult, both on the floor of the House and in the press. Mr Potter has conducted himself Chairman of the Investigating Committee in a singularly careful and judUdous way, and has been as as a man can be in such a His refusal to move of his own accord for an investigation of tbe cipher spatches was highly croditiible to him, ooa- sidering tbe charges that have been made against iiira, especially of a bargain between bimself and Mr Tilden, and had been accused of breaking it, and tbe fact that it has been said be would press an investigation that would involve that gentleman.

There was a universal feeling among Republicans that Mr vindication of himself wa.s complete, and a Republican Repreeentative said to-nisrht that there was no doubt of Mr honesty in all he had done. A second surprise to Republicans was Mr Hewitt's vigorous defence of Mr Tilden. He spoke earnesf.y ami made a decided impression in tbe House, although some Republicans made a very weak attempt to laugh scornfully at his denial of the complicity of Mr Tilden, or any officer of the Na- tioHHl Democratic Committee, in any corrupt practices. Mr Hewitt used very plain language, ami told truths which were bitter ones for some gentlemen on the floor to listen to, and must have been especially unpalatable to young Mr Hayes, who sat in the gallery to listen to the eulogy on his father Gen. Garfield was oxpecteif to make.

There is no doubt that many Republicans know that a full and thorough investigation of the cipher despatches will reveal that neither Mr Tilden nor any oflScer of tbe Democratic Committee knew of their existence until tliey were published in tbe Tribune. Gen. Butler, in taking strictly legal ground that the House had no jurisdiction in the matter, did not catch the t( mper of those about him, and when he appealed to members to give the asked for to men and urged them to leave the scandal alone aud attend to business, to finish which so short time remained, he was roundly laughed at. the House recalling how little time he himself had given to public business during the session. He was also laughed at by the Republicans when be said he could not under.stuud why the Democrats wanted an investigation but the laugh changed to hushed and awful stillness when he turned to the Republicans and reminded them that the discovery that a Republican Senate Committee had destroyed the Republican despatches would not be pleasant.

AYhat was most anxiously looked for, his denial that any one but bimself had overseen the which were left in bis de.sk, was made almost pnrantlK lieally. He bad, as be always does, tbe closest attention of the full House and a large andienee, but be carried no votes wnth him. Eugene Hale made a smart and insolent speech, and Mr Conger a weary attempt to be funny, but no one rose to tbe dignity of tbe discussion or seemed appreciate tbe real import of a cl.arge affecting the honor of the man for whom majority of the people Inid voted for the Presidency, except Messrs Potter and Hewitt. Tbe latter was speaking when the hour expired, and Mr Garfield moved a reconsiileration of tbe previous question, in order to extend tbe debate and get an hour in which to defend Mr Hayes. If be had succeeded the whole day would have been consumed, but Mr Atkins quickly moved to table the motion, and on a party vote of 123 to 120 it was dune.

This shut out Mr Reed also, who was charged w'itb a speech. Mr Atkins was prompted solely by a desire to get at w'ork on really important business, and it is admitted on all sides to-night that it was the best thing that could have been done. It certainly left tbe Democrats in confessedly the iMJst position in the debate. A will visit New York and take Mr and probably Whitelaw testimony. The source from whence the spatches came into the jiossession of tbe Tribune is pretty w'ell known, and it may safely be predicted tbiit an examination will bring about interesting developments.

Bl'TLEH AND MR HEWITT. a shinqton J.VN. debate on the cipher telegram drew the largest audience of the season to the House of Representatives. At 1 tlie Speaker recognized Mr Potter of York to oiler his resolution for an investigation. Before Mr Potter offered bis resolution, Gen.

Butler went over to the Democratic side and took a seat in the front row Mr Potter, after some explanatory remarks, said At the last session of Congress I introduced a resolution for the Committee to inquire into certain alleged and lOi- fossed wrongs in Florida and Louisiana, which had taken place under coffir of the State law, and which were said to have been jierpe- tratod under the influence of Federal visitors and under the protection of Federal troops, aud which wrongs the Electoral de- eidt it impossible for tbe States to rectify or rei all. Such a matter was a proper subject for Congressional legislation, for if Congress could not correct tbe wrong which bad taken place in the States themselves it could at least adopt such legislation as would afford those States an opjiortunity to correct and recall the action ffiken under color of their law. It was, therefore, a proper subject for investigation, and when I introduced that resolution 1 declined to yield to an amendment which the gentleman from Maine (Mr Hale) desired to offer, proposing an inquiry into certain cipher despatches in Oregon. insisted that it was not within the lirovince of Congress to inquire into the individual wrongs of any citizen which it could neither prevent nor punish, and that at any rate this investigation ought not to be over- sloughed by such inquiry. I did not then suspect the existence of the despatches which have since been published, but the analogy between those despatches and those which tbe gentleman from Maine sought to have inquired into is perfect, and the House having sustained me in my view of the question it was not for me now' to seek to on foot myself an investigation of the kind, nor to prevent the completion of the work I had in hand by any such inquiry.

Beyond that, Mr Speaker, there were private personal reasons w'by I did not think I ought to set on foot any such investigation. Tlie House in.Hy recollect that when I intro- ilueed the re.solution of inquiry the leading independent journal of the country declared that I did so in pursuance of a bargain betw'een Mr Tilden and myself, in which I was to have his support. There are gentlemen in this Chamber now ho know that when I was called upon the evening previous to the introduction of Uiat resolution, to wait upon the Committee in the Democratic caucus, 1 was absolutely ignorant that 1 had been selected for that w'ork, and I bad no more rea.sou to suspect that 1 would he connected with it than any other gentleman in the House. The truth is. that not only did 1 have no bargain with Mr Tilden.

but I bad none with anybody else. I served on tbe Committee simjdy because I was invited to serve by a joint Committee of a Democratic caucus and because, in 18T5, as a member of a Committee of tiiis House I had visited Louisiana and had very profound cou- vietioiis alike of the danger anil of the wrongs of the Returning action. I served, therefore, on these accounts, and these alone, and I not only had no understanding or bargain with anybody on the face of tbe earth, but I sought for no promise or assumnee, and 1 had none; and yet, Mr Speaker, that conjecture has gone all over the United States, and nine-tenths of tbe people who have any opinion at all on tbe subject believe I am a member of tlie Committee of Investigation as a confidant and agent of Gov. Tilden. Bevoud that, although I had endeavored to eoiiduel the investigation with absolute impartiality and fairness, so much so that I do not lielieve anybody familiar with the record will rise to claim that such has not been the fact; and though during all that time 1 have observed tbe most absolute reticence in respect to tbe objects and purpose of the Committee, yet lliere has been no unworthy and partisan speech that has not been falsely put into my mouth and no mean or outrageous suggestion as to tl.e conduct of tbe Committee that has not lieen attributed to me.

Under such eirciim- sffinees, for me to volunteer an investigation into these cipher despatches was to give color to have it said that I was doing so in interest and for the purpose of protecting and whitewashing those whom it might affect; and, beyond that, sir, there are in my State some persons who believe that or my friends, have a cause of grievance against Mr Tilden, and who, if I volunteered any movement of the kind, would ascribe my action to personal dislike and spite, If the gentlemen will look at the New York Tribune of Saturday week, they will see it declared that the probable cause of this resolution has the object of personally injuring Mr Tilden. For these sir, I did not feel called upon to volunteer any action on Ibis subject. 1 have not volunteered It, and I introduce the resolution which I do because, without any wish or request of mine I have been instructed todo so, and I do it for no other reason. In conclusion Mr Potter went over tbe Items of tbe expense of tlie Committee, showing the manner in which the already approjin- ated had been disbursed. GEN.

SPEKCH. Mr Butler of Massachusetts obtained the floor. He said have sought the ear of the House for the purpose of patting before it reasons that will influence my vote on this resolution, let them avail as much or as little as they will. 1 in this matter neither friends to reward nor enemies to punish. I look upon it as a question of very considerable gravity, as furnishing a precedent hereafter.

The resolution alleges that there are certain cipher de- spaU'hes which are supposed to show that there was an bv fraud or bribery to influence the electoral vote'of Florida, Oregon aud Carolina. The resolution does not allege that there is any evidence expected to show that any vote was influenced by those attacks. Then we have this ease before us. We are brought to investigate the acts of private citizens, which were, or which were not, crimes at the time they were done. If they were crimes the law will punish them if they were not crimes we can make no expost facto law that will reach them, and whatever wa.s done no legislative remedy and no legislative action.

We all know that bribery and fr uid ill tbe elections can be punished, and we no set of inventions of any set of men to frr.me a law for that purpose. Therefore, there is absolutely no ground of, jurisdiction in this House to do what it is proposed it shall do. 'I'he ground on which the House can take jurisdietion of private correspondence, whether by telegram or by that the House requires the information in order to get legislative action. Tlicre can oe no other ground under heaven. I -ubmit to Ihe lawyers of the to the good set.so of every member of the House whereon we can found our rights to put our liaiuls on the act of any private man.

He is a private man for tliis purpose who does not houl an official United States position. Now, without jurisdiclion, what is expected from these cipher desiiatches It is expected that some- liodv will either vindicated or lie snubbed, or.c or the other, ami it is absolutely none of our business to do either and above all, not to take the public money for that purpose. Besides, Uongress should not take part in the of any public man to satisfy tlie curio.sity of anybody in the Hoii.se or out of it. I be result of appropriating money for the investigation would be to stir up something wlicb had better not be seen or felt or smelt. He would rather give tbe to Poor family.

He had spoken against tlie resolution in order that it might be said hereafter that at least one man, acting as a judge and a memlier of Congress, unbiassed by party prejudice bad been averse to stirring up tbe affairs of a private per- EUGENE IL a LE a YS A WORD. Mr Hale of Maine followed in support of the Now that the machine has been started set in motion, let it roll on and make inve.stigation into both sides of the que.s- lion. He iiad some sympathy for that simple- hearted old grentleman in New York who had lieen taken from bis iirivaey thrust upon the eountrv as a Presidenttal candidate, who had bccom'e an apostle of reform, aud who had remained in his closet awaiting the verdict of the American people, taking no hand or part in a notnlilc campaign. He bad been surrounded confederates and co-partners aud nephews who had attempted to purclia.se electoral colleges, and tbe old man should liave an opjiortunity to come before Congress and protect liis character from men close around him who had attempted to besmirch it, Mr Conger of Michigan followed with a short speeeli, in which he made sarcastic allusions to the cipher desputehos, referring to them as scriptural telegrams signed by Moses, Aaron and the rest. MR HEWITT'S REMAHK.S.

Mr Hewitt supported the resolution. He called the attention of the gentleman from 31assaehusett-s (Butler) to the fact that there yvere occa.sioiis in life when there was something higher than a Judge or member of Con- It was when a sense ot manhood into tbe human heart. He stood l.ere in that spirit of manhood to invite the fullest investigation of the telegrams, those which had been published and those which had not. Justice to Samuel J. Tilden demanded that an investigation be made.

Justice to the great Democratic party demanded it. Justice to the American people, who had elected him to the highest office in their gift, demanded it. Let Mr Tilden have an oiiportunity to confront his aceuser.s ami traducers and show the world that at least one of the candidates at the late Presidential eiection was not a miser.able trickster, willing to bargain for the highest office in the gift of the pecplc. kVliciher the cipher despatches published in tbe Tribune genuine or not I have no means of knowing. I never received one of them.

I as never cognizant of their existence until thev were published by tbe Tribune; neither do I kiiow whether the alleged tran.sactions are true or false. But this I do know, that not one of them containing a reference to tbe use of moi.ev to influence tbe Returning Boards or electoral votes was ever addressed to or received by any officer of tbe National Demo- erutie Gomniittcc. I am aware that the news- liapers have credited one of those persons to l.oni the teleerams w'cre addressed with having been an officer of the Democratic Committee. but I say to this House and to the country iliat that is an error. He never held any official connection with the Committee.

These de- sjiatchescame from and were addressed to per-sons who bad no official position in the organization. That they wore zealous Democrats and anxious to secure the fruits of the victory which we 1 ati uiiqiiestionably won in a contest of un- aralleled eftort on both sides is very evident; liut what they did was an action of a purely voluntary and individual nature, without consultation eitlier with me, who was charged ith the eomliict of the campaign, or (as am authorized here to say) with the candidate of tbe Dcmucratic party in tliat memorable struggle. on the Reiniblican The inic-t flagrant efl'orts have been matle to show that be had personal knowledge of the operations of his zealous friends. Now 1 stand here to tleelare that there is not a particle of evidence to connect him ith this knowledge. Gn tbe contrary, the evidenee, so far as pro- dueed (and of it has been most skilfully managed to give an opposite impression), proves conclusively that he had no such ki.ow ledge, for in no ease was any such purchase of votes effected, and in every case it broke down for want of money.

Is it to be supposed for a moment that if Samuel J. Tilden had decided to buy those votes tbe pur- would have failed for wmit of money on the Republican Is it not idirolutely clear that hen it i cached the point where Mr Townsend of New York Did not money go to Oregon Mr Hewitt (without in- money was required it failed and is not the conclusion irresistible that when, in tbe last resort, it was necessary to go to him for money he indignantly stamped on tbe sugge.stion as one to which be could give neither approval nor a.sslstaiice) THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED. Tlic hour allowed for discussion liaving dosed, Mr Garfield moved to reconsider the vote ordering the main question. Mr Atkin.S to lay that motion on tbe table, and it was so 123, nays 120. The resolution WHS then without division.

PLANS OF THE POTl'ER OOMMITTEE. 'I he Potter Investigation Committee meet to- inoriow for the purpose of deciding upon the lU'ogranime of future proceedings. The cipher de.spatehes will be tbe principal business before them, and the preparation and arrangement of the list of witnes.ses to be examined will probably consume the greater part of session. It is stated that some evidence may be taken to-morrow, but this appears rather unlikely, as there is no witness on hand except St. Martin, with respect to him no notification is yet received, either fram Mr Sherman or Mr Sbellabarger.

There is no truth in the statement that it has already been decided to relegate the inve.stigation of the cipher despatches to a sub-committee, to hold its sittings in New York, but in all probability a large amount of important testimony will be taken in that city. This question perhaps will be decided to-morrow. A STATEMENT FROM TIIK WE.STERN DNtON. ew ork an an interview. President Green of the Western Union Telegraph Company states that tlie cipher telegrams must have been copied while in the custody of the Congressional Committee, as w'hat were returned to the company by that Committee (of which Morton was Chairman) were put into a trunk at Washington and expressed to New' York, and after a few days his son took them to the engine-room and they w'ere all burned.

Approved, THE pensions BILL. At the Cabinet meeting to-day it was discovered that all the members arc opposed to the bill granting arrears of pensions, and this in the face of the fact that Gen. Rice, the author, bad II basket of fiowers sent to his desk afternoon from some who expect to be beneficiaries of the bill. Secretary Sherman puts up Commissioner figures to and says that to pay the amount demanded would seriously impair the resumption fund. Congress must let him i.ssue more bonds if it is to become law.

Mr Potter said that it is better for the North and for the South aud for the country that none of the claims ever bo paid. ARMY REORGANIZATION.

THE BILL TO REFUND THE NATIONAL IMPORTANT AMENDMENT TO THE NAVAL BILL PROPOSED BY MB BLAINE. Washington, Jan. Morrill of Vermont, from the Finance Committee, reported without amendment the House bill to facilitate the refunding of the national debt. Placed on the calendar. This is the bill which passed the House on the 16th and authorized the Secretary of the Treasury in refunding the national debt under existing law to exchange directly at per the 4 per cent, bonds of the United State.s for the outstanding and uncaiieolled.

and whenever any such 5-20 bonds shall have been redeemed provisions of tbe act sliall apply to any bonds of the United States bearing interest at 5 per or ii higlicr rate, which may be redeemable in any exchange made under the provision of this act interest may be allowed on bonds redeemed fora period of three months. It is understood the bill received the unanimous approval of the Committee on Finance. After disposing of some other business the Senate proceeded to consider the Naval Appropriation biil. In exDlanation of the bill Mr Wimlom said as it passed the House it appropriated tbe total estimate was 45; approiiriations for the present fiscal year, 70. The Senate Committee on Appropriations added to the House bill making the total bill 95.

All these amendments were agreed to without debate. Mr Windom said that tbe Senator from Maine (Blaine) desired to address the Senate on this bill, but w'as not prepared to-day. The bill was therefore laid aside nntil to-morrow.

Mr Blaine then gave notice of tbe amendments to the bill which he would ofler That a Board of three naval officers from either the ac.tUo or retired list bo appointed oy the President, whose duly it shall be to consider and reoort to the next session of Congress the number of officers, line, staff and warrant, needed for the navy with 7500 nan; hcieafler directed by law, promotion in the navy above the grade of Ensign shall nnd, further, that the same Board of officers shall coi siderand repot whether any of the present Navv Yards may be dusnensed with, and whether, in any other expenses ot the naval esiab'ishment may bo decreased without impairing its etBciencv.

The moderate journals of Paris and the provinces have vigorously declared In favor of tbe Cabinet. The Temps, Journal des Debats, Siecle, National and other journals ably defended the minority. The moderate Republicans were Induced to seek a platform of conciliation with the Left Centre, who felt that the attack wa.s directed against themselves and thair policy, while tbe Cabinet, to avoid iinperiiling Its friends, the Republic liberty, accepted the necessity of depriving its adversaries of the plea about the changes of functionaries, which served as a pretext for other designs. Lastly, those of the Left who were resolved to overturn the Cabinet had neither men nor programme acceptable to the country. The Paris correspondent says The vote is a serious blow to prestige.

The victory of the Ministry is ascribed in Republican circles to the forbearance of Gam- hetta, and there can be no doubt that it is true to a great extent. If Gambetta bad gone into the tribune and delivered with all bis fervid eloquence an amplification of tbe cest perdue. the article which appeared in the Republican yesterday, and every word of which his friends assure me he dictated, no doubt the vote would have been very diflerent but as he has made a series of onslaughts on the Government, and, as no later than this morning his friends predicted the downfall of the Ministry, he has unquestionably courted the defeat which has overtaken him. Had he been prepared to accept the Presidency of the Council, and undertaken the formation of the Cabinet the Diifaure Mini.slry would not have obtained a vole of confidence as the result of the debate, but if he would not take office there was no reason for upsetting Dufuure. His own sense told liini as much, for this very Ray, while intimate fritiid.s of his were telling me that the fate of the Cabinet was sealed, and that another Cabinet crinposed of politicians iimler his influence would be gazetted within 24 hours, he was himself so conscious of his inevitable defeat that he not only abstained from taking part in the debate and conducting the attack against the Miii- Ltrv, w'liich he himself bad planned, but osten- paraded him.selfin his barrister's robes at tbe Palace of Justice, where the statue of Berryer was unveiled, only took his place in Chamber of Deputies after the sitting coranunccd.

The Daily Paris correspondent ascribes the compromise to personal efforts. The 5 per cent, rentes were quoted at 113 francs 75 centimes on the boulevards after the vote was made known. Tie Timf s's Paris correspondent says Prior to the main division on Monday Gambetta voted with tbe minority in favor of the order of the dav, piiie and simple. This order of the day wiis osed by tbe Gambettists so as to over turn thi Cabinet without actually censuring it. It woukl thus have freed the Gambettists from the necissity of propounding a rival gramme.

The order was rejected by a vote of 200 against 155. In the main division Garnbetla and forty-five of his adherents of the Keiiublican Union a'xstained from voting, not being willing to go to the length of negativing the vote of confidence when there was 1,0 longer any alternative motion. Twenty reactionaries voted with the radicals in the main division. On this vote the oure Left turned Ihe scale, Thtir bureaus agreed only by a majority of one to the vote of confidence dcmamkd by the Alinistry. They were influenced the rumor that the reactionaries intended to vote with the radicals.

PEOBABILITIES OF AN EXTRA 3K3S10N OF CONGRESS-AN OTHER SYNDICATE CONTRACT BT SECRETARY AND CONFIRMATIONS, ETC. ashington an is really good reasons for expecting that there will be an extra session of the Forty-sixth Congress this Spring. It does not appear to be a concerted plan on tbe part of the Democrats to force an extra session, but the political debates and struggles on the Appropriations bills are yet to come. The Democrats propose to Incorporate important political legislation on the Appropriation bills, and to force an extra session rather than to be defeated. The Democratic Senators are anxious to have an extra session of the Senate in order that they may take control of that body, distribute the Chairmen of Committees, take possession of the Committee rooms and get their Clerks, etc.

All that will be necessary will be the defeat of one the Appropriation bills, which can be easily accomplished. Several members of the House express their opinion that an extra session is inevitable.

GEORGE STILLMAN HILLARD, who died at bis reeirtence in Longwood, Tnesilay morning, was one of the best known inrists of It Mr Hillard was bom at Sept. 22,1608, and was therefore over 70 years of age.

He was a grandson of Gen. Siillman. When very young be passed two years in the town of Lebanoc, where he waa a pupil of the Rev. Zebnlon Ely. He also attended tho school of Mr Kimball in Needham.

In 18M he entered the Boston Latin School, then located npon the present site of the Parker Uonse on School street. Among his rostes were the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, Patrick Grant, Dr Henry I. Bowdltch, J.

Wiley Edmands, Rev. John T. Sargent, John H. Jenks, Hon. Charles Francis Adams, Dr J.

B. S. Jackson, Rev. Casneau Palfrey, D. Nathaniel P.

Willis, Hon. George Tyler Bigelow, George William Bond, Rev. James Freeman Clarke. Hon. WUliam Gray and Joseph H.

Buckingham. Mr Hillard was one of the two boys in the Latin School who received the Lloyd gold medals In the years 1833 and 1834. The other was warded to 'Thomas Kern per Davis. Mr Hillard was also one of the founders of the Latin School Assoolation. In 1834 Mr Hillard entered Harvard University, where he graduated in the class of with Dr Henry I.

Bowditch, Judge J. J. Gilchrist of New Hampshire. Rev. Thomas Bayley Fox, Patrick Grant, Edward Sprague Rand, the Hon.

Robert C. Wintbrop and others. After graduating ho was engaged for some time as a teacher in tho Round Hill Schoo! at Northampton, Mr George Bancroft being tho Principal. Subsequently he entered the Harvard 4 iw School. gradnatlDg in 18S2, when he became a stndent in the office of Charles P.

Cnrtis of Boston. He was admitted to the bar in AprU, 1833, and in 18S4 became connected with Charles and rented two adjoining rooms on the second floor of the Brooks buildings, No. 4 Court street, corner of Washington. 'Ihis building became celebrated as the headq'-arters of many distinguished lawyers, among those who were there when Mr Hillard first opened his office, or went there subsequently, being Kufus Choate, with whom Mr Hillard always maintained a warm friendship, Thomas C. Amory.Jr., Peleg W.

Chandler, Tbeophilus Parsons, John A. Andrew, George Lnnt and George P. Sanger. When Mr left the building in 1656 he wrote in verse a graceful Farewell to Number wh-ch was published in the Law Reporter ot March in that year. 'Ihe same year.

1833, that his entrance upon the practice of the law, saw also the lieginning of that career in literature which has been marked by so much of brilliancy and success. In that year he becamc.an editor of the Christian Register, and afterwards, with Chaaies Sumner, edited the Jurist. In I 806 ho became one of tbe owners and principal editor of the Boston Courier. At the outbreak of the war Mr Hillard severed his connection with the paper. Mr Hillard was a frequent contributor to the North American Review and Atlantic Monthly, his articles being mainly deyotod to re yiews of books and art criticisms.

As an art cntic he held high rank. He was an admirer of the sculptor Crawford, and a warm defender of Story at the time when the statue of Everett in the Boston Pub- lie Gardt was subjected to adverse criticism. Mr Hillard early in life attracted attention as an orator, and he Ik came in after years one of tho most eloquent and polished speakers in tho country. He first achieved success in 1831 by his address at Harvard University on taking the degree of Master of Arts. In 1625 be was cboten as a Represeniative of Boston in the lower house of the Legislature, where he served with W.

B. Washbiime, afterward Gov- H. L. Dawes, now United Sta'ies Senator, Amasa Walker, Pliny Merrick, Joseph T. Buckingham, Claries W.

Uph.sm, Benjamin Seaver, who subscquetlly became Mayor of Boston, and others. Mr political career has been marked by the holding of several prominent positions. As a legislator he dlsplnyed much abi'ily and won some flattering commendation from Daniel Webster. In 1845 he was a member of the Boston Common Council, being rc-elcctod for 1846 and 1847. He was President of the Council in 1846, and was re elected to that position for 1647, but resigned in July in order to visit Europe, where he remained seveial months, one of the results h's trip being the publication after his return of a work entitled Months iu which was received with great favor here and was republished in England.

In 1850 he was a member of the Slate Senate, the late Vice-President Wilson being one of his associates. A member of the Ccnslitulional Convention in 1853, be was active and prominent, and In reply to one ot several attacks which on that occasion were made npon Boston, he made an earnest ana well-timed speech in fence of that nmnicipality. In 1654-56 he was City olicitor of Boston, and in 1866-70 was United States District Attorney for Massachusetts, taking the oath of office October 22, 1863, as successor of Richard H. Dana, who had resigned the position. He has also been a Trustee of the Boston Public Library.

In his political affiliations Mr Hillard was an active member of the Whig party while it had an existence, and when it was lost in the new parties that sprung up he became equally active in the Democratic partv. The Union cause found iu him a firm friend when tbe nation was iug through its great struggle, and while the contest between North and South continued he was one of the political cla.os known as War Democrats. In his capacity of a bookmaker Mr Hillard earned a great roiuifation by one alone from among his various undertakings in this line. He was tbe editor and compiler of the pnblicalion ot which was begun in 1856, and which at once became popular and went into genera! use. While they became very generally used in the States these readers also won favor in other countries, and it has been slated that by order of the Emperor, Dom Pedro IL, they were used in the schools of Brazil to give the pupils the best possible bleaof the English language.

Mr Hillard made other marked successes as editor and compiler. In 1839 he pnb- in five volumes Poetical Works of Kd miind Spencer, with a Critical which was pronounced by George Ticknor the best edition yet In ho from the Writings of Walter Savage a well made book. Mr Hillard translated Essay on Chaiarter and Influeuce of Among his other publications were a number of addresses delivered upon various occasions. Of the book which resulted from his tour in Italy we have already spoken. Published in 185:1, it ran through five editions within three years, and was most favorably noticed both by American reviewers and in the leading reviews of Magazine, the Lon don Quarterly Review and the Dublin Review com mending it warmly.

In 1664 he published the Lifo and Campaigns of George B. He began to for publication the life and letters of George Tickuor, but w-as uuable to finish the work, which was completed by Miss Tickuor. Tho book was printed, but not published. As a man, Mr Hll lard was agreeable in his bearing, and his intercourse with others was marked with that ease which one always expects to find in those whose minds are cultivated, and whose circle of acquaintance is wide. He won friends in all directions, and those whom his acquirements attracted were bound to him more closelv by the frankness and geniality of his spirit.

Mr Hillard, after his retirement from the po sition of United States District Attorney, associated bimself with Mr Henry D. Hyde and M. F. Diekin- son, who had been his assistants. This legal firm at once took a high rank.

In 1873 Us distinguished chief was stricken by paralysis, and since then Mr Hillard has lived in reiirement at Longwood, enjoying a modest competency, the result of his bookmaking and early savings. He has been an iuvalld in body, but it was bis privilege to pass the closing years of his life with an intellect so clear and bright that his books none of their charm for him, and he lost none of that old-time attractiveness that gave such richness to bis interviews with frientls. On Tuesday, tho 14th he was prostrated by another attack of paralysis, which left him iu such a weak condition he failed gradually, and passed away quietly and peacefully. In 1835 Mr Hillard married Miss.8nsanT., daughter of Judge Howe of North amptoD, who survives him. PKOPOSKD KKBUCTTON IN THK SALABIKS OP SfATK OFFICIALS.
