longest in the council, and by virtue of which he was also president thereof. Hence the mantle of gubernatorial authority fell upon the worthy shoulders of Rip Van Dam;1 and, in view of the subsequent controversy between Van Dam and Governor Cosby, it is worthy of remark that one point in con- nection with the succession was carefully considered and definitely settled. This was the emoluments of office to which President Van Dam would be entitled. When on September 3 the question of passing the warrant for the two months' salary came up, it was postponed for the con- sideration of the board when DERUNT DE GIRAVE every member should be pre- sent, and the matter mean- time referred to a committee of which Councilor De Lancey DE N was chairman. The matter was also referred by message to the speaker of the assem- bly, who preferred to leave it to the decision of the council. Finally, on February 7, 173}, there is this entry on the min- THE DUTCH CHURCH BELL OF 1731.2 ute-book : "The warrant for the payment of the Presidents Sallary being this Day moved to the Board and the reasons for and against the Presidents having the whole Sallary Settled on the late Governour
1 Council Minutes. XVI : 111 ; Doc. rel. Col. Hist. N. Y., 5 : 840. On pp. 921 and 924 of the latter work, in two separate letters,- the one dated July 1 and the other September 11, 1731,-Van Dam's language would lead us to suppose that the governor died on June 30. In the former he says " who departed this life last night"; this might in the haste and confusion of the emergency have slipped inadvertently from his pen, as referring to Montgomerie's passing away so early in the morn- ing. But on September 11 he is still more ex- plicit : " I hope the accompt I transmitted to your Lordaber by the way of Boston and Bristol on the Ist of July last, of the death of our Late Gov" Coll : Montgomerie, being the next day after his decease, has been laid before your Lorduhr." Still the rec- ord in the Council Minutes must be decisive ; that reads (in loco cit.) in the entry of July 1, 1731, after stating that the Board convened at 6 o'clock A. M., that his Excellency "about an hour ago de- parted this life."
2 This bell was cast in Amsterdam in 1731, silver coin being melted as a part of the bell-metal. It was purchased by money bequeathed for that pur- pose by Colonel Abraham De Peyster, who died in 1728. The inscription is as follows: "Me fece- runt De Gravae et N. Muller, Anno 1731. Abraham De Peyster, geboren den 8 July, 1657. gestorven den 8 Augustus, 1728. Een legaat aan de Neder- duytsche Kerke, Nieuw York." [Made by De Graaf and N. Muller, Anno 1731. Abraham De Peyster, born July 8, 1657, died August 8, 1728. A legacy to the Dutch Church, New-York.] Mr. John Oothout, a member of the church, hid the bell during the occupation of the British. It was replaced after the evacuation in 1783, was re- moved to the Ninth street Reformed Church in 1844, thence to the Lafayette Place Collegiate Re- formed Church in 1855, and again in 1872 to the Forty-eighth street and Fifth Avenue Church, where it now peals forth the hours of service on the Sabbath and other days.

being read and Maturely considered of, It is the opinion of the Board that the President is Entitled to the whole Sallary and afterwards a Warrant for paying the President the Sum of £390 for his Quarters Sallary after having been read was signed by his Honour." 1
Ere we pass on to President Van Dam's interregnum, a few words more must be devoted to the deceased governor. On July 6 the council took measures for the proper disposition of the effects of the departed. It is learned from this action that Governor Montgomerie was entirely without wife or family. No very near relation even formed a part of his household. A Mr. Avery, one of the gentlemen in waiting on him at the executive mansion, was summoned, in order to ascertain whether his Excellency had left a will. Avery knew of none, but gave information of the presence in the province of a distant relative, a Mr. Charles Home. In the name of the latter letters of administration of the governor's estate were granted, and an in- ventory of the effects was made.2 This inventory is still on record, and affords an interesting insight into the character of the appoint- ments and appurtenances of a governor's mansion and state. The list includes no less than sixteen horses, with elegant sets of harness for occasions of state, as well as of a more serviceable kind for trav- eling purposes, and a coach and chaise. The other notable items are twenty-five hundred dollars' worth of wines and liquors, and a library set down at one thousand dollars, and composed of fourteen hundred volumes. The possession of such an extensive private library was as rare as it was remarkable outside of the learned pro- fessions; but that it should have been possessed by a gentleman con- stantly alluded to as rather distinguished for his lack of ordinary intelligence for one in his station, is quite unaccountable.
For the origin of the Van Dam family we must look to Albany, New-York. There one Claes Ripse Van Dam attained prominence as a successful trader among the Indians before the Dutch rule ended. His son Rip was born at Albany about the year 1670.8 Twenty years later he has already attained some standing among men of business and position in New-York; and he is on the side of the old council against Leisler, upon a petition adverse to whom his name appears. This political affiliation remains the same under Bellomont. Having had experience of the sea as a captain of trading-vessels of his own, he, as a growingly prosperous merchant, with vessels to despatch on more extended voyages than those earlier ones to the West Indies, naturally came into conflict with Lord Bellomont's rigorous applica-

3 John Austin Stevens, in his " Colonial New- York: Sketches Biographical and Historical " (New-York, 1867, p. 105, says of Rip Van Dam's birth, "at what date is now unknown." But in
young Lewis Morris's letter to the lords of trade of July 19, 1729 (Doc. rel. Col. Hist. N. Y., 5 : 886), the statement is positively made that Mr. Rip Van Dam was "about sixty." This seems to make it safe to put the date of his birth about the year 1670.

tion of the English trade acts. His vessels were seized as those of others were, and he himself, as an anti-Leislerian, could consistently take satisfaction in bearing a part in the opposition to the earl. So under Cornbury he continued of the court party, being appointed to a seat in the council on that governor's arrival in 1702. Therefore, at the time of Montgomerie's death in 1731, Rip Van Dam had been for twenty-nine years a councilor. He was now a person of large wealth and, to judge from his portrait, a man of aristocratic bearing, but benevolent, and certainly very handsome. His wife, too, was a lady of pure Dutch extraction, and they had a large family of children,- according to some accounts no less than fifteen, although these did not all live to maturity. But the strangest thing about his eleva- tion to the office of acting governor of an English province, and that which throws a flood of light upon conditions in the old Dutch city, is that Mr. Van Dam was not very familiar with the English language. A not unfriendly critic, speaking of him and of another member of Montgomerie's council in regard to this matter, remarks: "If they understand the common discourse, 't is as much as they do."1 If this seem almost incredible, it is to be remembered that it was not till thirty-four years after this date that the first English sermon was preached in a Dutch Reformed church, by an English-speaking pas- tor of that church ; and the calling of that pastor had caused such a bitter opposition that it entailed a lawsuit even after his arrival in the city. President Van Dam was a member of that old church, all his numerous offspring being recorded on its registers of baptism.
The acting governor's rule lasted just thirteen months. It was dis- tinguished by but two events deserving of note. One took place at a distance from the city, but it might have seriously affected its safety, and it bore hard upon the honored president's reputation for effi- ciency until within a few years. The subtle French, unrestrained by the Treaty of Utrecht, and anticipating the inevitable rupture of the peace, had audaciously descended the Lake of Champlain, and built a fort at Crown Point, near its southern extremity. It would be but an easy march to strike a blow at Albany from this coign of vantage, and a further descent of the broad Hudson would give them access to New-York itself. The historian William Smith, an Englishman writing about a Dutchman, and seeking his authorities among New England papers, avers that Van Dam, "distinguished more for the integrity of his heart than his capacity to hold the reigns of govern- ment," had been, so to speak, "caught napping" by these nimble French, and knew nothing of the perilous move until informed thereof by Governor Belcher of Massachusetts. But documentary evidence, existing at Albany, and collected by Mr. Brodhead in London, as well
1 Doc. rel. Col. Hist. N. Y., 5 : 886.

HISTORY OF NEW-YORK
as the minutes of the assembly, prove that Van Dam had procured the information and transmitted it to the latter body for action to be taken, months before Governor Belcher's letter reached him. He sent Belcher's letter to the assembly on February 4, 1732. On September 30, 1731, he had sent the previous communication to that body. And on November 2, 1731, his letter to the lords of trade contained an account of an " Act for fortifying the City of Albany."1
It was a proud period for the Dutch population and Church, when one of their own number had been raised to the supreme seat in the province. One evidence of the fact that this was their feeling is a plate

of a new Dutch church which was "dedicated " to him in 1731.2 The church in Garden street was now nearly forty years old, and the in- creasing population demanded another edifice. A large plot of ground on the east side of Nassau street, extending from Cedar to Liberty street, was purchased for five hundred and seventy-five pounds. Building thereon was begun soon after and the corner-stone laid early in 1727. The church was so far completed in 1729 as to make it pos- sible to hold services in it. But it was not finished until 1731, when the plate of it was made and appropriately inscribed to President Van Dam. The eyes of many now living in New-York city have looked upon this same structure, or so much of it as rose above the crowd of secular adjuncts which aided in converting its sacred pre- cincts into the New-York Post-office.
The prudent, wise, and unassuming administration of affairs by the acting governor continued that state of good feeling, and promoted

2 The reader is warned not to make the mistake in reading this sentence which a recent historian has made, in recording it as a fact that the church,
not the plate, was dedicated to Van Dam. Their adulation of their esteemed countryman would hardly have carried the pious Dutch people to this blasphemous extravagance.

that abatement of partizan bitterness, as well as of fretful opposition of popular rights to real or fancied encroachments of royal preroga- tive, which had been realized under Montgomerie. On February 4, 173}, the lords of trade wrote to President Van Dam that his Majesty had been pleased to appoint Colonel William Cosby to suc- ceed the deceased governor, and in August, 1732, he arrived in New- York. Now the days of peace were over, and the battle which then was resumed had no end until there was an end to the coming of colonial governors altogether.
