HISTORY OF THE BENCH AND BAR.
William Eustis, while minister to the Hague, where he began his law studies. He was admitted to the bar in 1822 and settled in New Orleans, becoming representa- tive, secretary of state, attorney-general, and judge and chief justice of the Supreme Court of Louisiana. The writer is doubtful where he was admitted to the bar. He married in 1825 Clarissa Allair, of Louisiana. He received the degree of LL. D. from Harvard in 1849, and died in New Orleans, December 23, 1858.

MATHEW HALE CARPENTER Was born in Moretown, Vt., December 22, 1824, and en- tered West Point in 1843, where he remained two years, and then returned to Ver- mont to study law with Paul Dillingham. In November, 1847, he was admitted to the Vermont bar, but at once went to Boston and continued his legal studies in the office of Rufus Choate. The writer is not informed whether he was ever admitted to the Suffolk bar. In 1848 he settled in Beloit, Wis., and about 1857 removed to Mil- waukee. He was during the war judge advocate-general of Wisconsin. In 1869 he was chosen United States senator and served one term of six years. In 1879 he was again chosen to the Senate and served until his death, which took place in Washing- ton, February 24, 1881. He was at the age of fifty-six cut off in the very height of a splendid career. It is unnecessary to rehearse here his many triumphs both at the bar and in the Senate. It is sufficient to say that after the death of Webster he was called by many the best constitutional lawyer in the United States. He married a daughter of Paul Dillingham, of Vermont, his instructor in law.
JOHN HENRY CLIFFORD was born in Providence, R. I., January 16, 1809, and grad- ttated at Brown in 1827. He studied law in Dedham with Theron Metcalf, and after his admission to the bar settled in New Bedford, and, as was the custom in that day, attended the courts of Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable and Nantucket, and the courts of Dukes county, and soon won a leading place among the lawyers of Southeastern Massachusetts. In 1835 he was a representative, and in 1849 was appointed to the office of attorney-general, which had been abolished in 1843 and revived in that year. In 1852 he was chosen governor and served one year, and Rufus Choate accepted the ap- pointment of attorney-general. In 1854 he was again appointed attorney-general and served until 1858, when the office became elective and Stephen Henry Phillips was chosen. In 1859 he was appointed in the place of Ellis Ames counsel for the Com- monwealth to act with Mr. Phillips, the attorney-general, in the proceedings in equity, which had been begun in the matter of the Rhode Island boundary. The counsel for Rhode Island were Charles S. Bradley and Thomas A. Jenks, and in 1861 the vexed boundary question, which had been a disputed one for nearly two hundred years, was finally and satisfactorily settled. In 1862 Mr. Clifford was president of the Senate, and for several years he was president of the Overseers of Harvard Col- lege. He received the degree of LL.D. from Brown University in 1849, and from Amherst and Harvard in 1853. In 1850, while attorney-general, he conducted the

trial of Prof. John W. Webster for the murder of Dr. George Parkman, assisted by George Bemis.

He was educated while young chiefly by Michael Walsh, a noted teacher of that day, and graduated at Harvard in 1817. Though probably the youngest member of his class, he was selected to make the address to President Mon- roe when he visited Cambridge during his senior year. After graduating he re- mained in the college two years as tutor in mathematics and natural philosophy, and then entered the office of Ebenezer Moseley, of Newburyport, to prepare himself for the bar. He was also one of the earliest students at the Harvard Law School, that institution having graduated its first class in 1820. He was admitted to the Essex bar in 1822 and established himself in his adopted town. He married in 1823 Caro- line, daughter of Samuel Sumner Wilde, afterwards an associate justice of the Su- preme Judicial Court, who removed from Hallowell, Me., to Newburyport in 1820, and remained there until 1831. After his marriage he spent two years in Europe and in 1825 was a representative from Newburyport to the General Court, and again in 1833 and 1834, and again in 1845, 1850 and 1859. In 1834 he was chosen member of Con- gress from Essex North District, and it is stated that Mr. Webster said " that he had not been six weeks in Congress before he was acknowledged to be the highest author- ity on what had been the legislation of Congress on any given subject." When the War with Mexico was delared, in opposition to the popular sentiment of his State, he assisted in raising a regiment of volunteers, which he led as colonel until appointed brigadier-general. In 1843 he was appointed by President Tyler minister to China, returning in a little over a year with a treaty which was readily ratified by the Senate. In 1852 he was appointed associate justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachu- setts, leaving the bench in 1853 to assume the position of attorney-general in the cabinet of President Pierce. During the War of the Rebellion he spent much time in Washington, where his services by advice and council were considered indispensable in the various departments of the government. He was appointed by President Lin- coln a commissioner to adjust claims pending with Mexico, and by President Grant minister to Spain, and of counsel for the United States at Geneva. As he advanced in age instead of abandoning work he seemed rather to realize that the fewer the years left to him the more diligent and industrious he must be. A passion for learn- ing actuated him to the last, and in philology and other branches of learning he seemed to be zealously fitting himself for their use in some other sphere of existence. He died at Newburyport, January 2, 1879.
CHARLES AUGUSTUS DEWEY, son of Daniel, was born in Williamstown, Mass., March 13, 1793, and graduated at Williams College in 1811.
