KETCH OF HIS CARKUR.
Samuel Jacksen Randall was born In
Phil idelphla, Oct. 10, 1828, and was there
fore, in the UAl year of Ills age. Ills father
was Jesiah Randall, a distinguished law-
yer ; his mother Ann Worrell, a daughter
or .General Jeseph Worrell, a noted
Upcratle leader in the tlme of Preal Preal Preal
uonTMelTerson. He received his education
In the old University academy, en
Fourth street, then under cbanre of
Mr. Crawford, a well-known educator
of his time. Frem the academy he at
once passed te the counting room of
Merris L. Hallewcll & Ce., silk merchants,
where he remained several Tears. Subse
quently he entered the iron business, being
the Junier partner In the Dim of Earp fc
Randall. While still young he was elected
as a Whig te city council. In 1850 he
changed his political affiliations upon the
final disruption of fie Whig parly and
seen after was sent te the stale Senate as a
Democrat. While still in the Legislature
the war broke out, and Mr. Randall went
with the City Troop under the ninety-day
call. Elected te Congress from the First
district, (ul most the same as that new
known ns the Third) he has sluce then
been re-elected te represent his district in
everr Congress.
On Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania the
Troop was ordered te Gettysburg en skir
mish duty. They were successively driven
from Seuth Mountain te Gettysburg, and
en the 27th, after a Slight skirmish, re
treated across the Susquehanna te Colum
bia, bringing the tlrst autbontle news of
the alze und alius of Lee's urniv.
On the same day CaptaiA Randall,
who liud succeeded te the command
of the Troop, was appointed proxest
marshal of Columbia, wliore the Troop re
mained until July 4, when they were
erdered te Harrlsburg. They followed the
retreat or the robel army from Gettysburg,
scouting and bringing In Intelligence of the
results of the great battle, but took no
active part in it. Until the Forty-third
Congress he seldem spoke at length but
was noted for his activity in committee
work. In the Forty-first Congress he
delivered a brief but powerful spcech
en the subject of the repudiation
or the national debt. He said : " Fer my
seir and I think I speak for my. consti
tuents I am utterly opposed te repudia
tion. But the niiment allowed me gives
the opportunity te remonstrate against the
enunciation or any schems of legislation
which I believe would place my country
in a dishonest attltude bofero the world.
Net only de I bollevo that we should pay
the debt, but I believe, what is or vastly
mere Importance, that the country has the
ability, the disposition and the reseuicss te
pay it."
In the Forty-third Congress he catne
prominently into netice in opposing the
famous ferce bill, and its defcat was largely
due te his skilful use of parliamentary tac
tics. The majority had determined te force
through a scries of bills which aroused the
most violent antagonism en the part or the
Democracy. Te tacilltate the passage or
these measures they had adopted rules and
had enforced the rules en their own mom mem mom
bera. The caucus force bill gave te the
president almost despotic power ever the
government in the states recently in re
bellion, by suspension of the habeas cor
pus and the use of the army and navy whon when whon
ever.ln his ludgnient.it should be necessary.
T- The in all Democratic minority determined
te resist this measure, and, in splle of the
organization of the overwhelming majority,
the careful framing of the rules te prevent
such action and the able generalship of
the great leaders of the Republican party
In Congress, they succcoded In sodelaying
the bill that It reached IheSennte tee late for
action bofero adjournment. This w as done
by the skillful management of Mr.Randall,
who remained upon the fleer of the
Heuse for 72 hours continuously, altor alter
uatcly demanding a call of the Heuso en
the question or no quorum and en motions
te excuse members from net voting, The
justke of the pretest was nvidenced en the
final vote, when although it was carried
by the e erw helming Republican majority,
33 or the members or that party, in srlte
or caucus rule, voted with the Democrats.
In December, 1870, he was elected
speaker of the Heuse, succeeding Kerr,
wlie dled during the preceding summer.
His attitude duilng the famous presidential
count gave him a strong held upon his
Prtv. and the next Doccuiber he was re
elected speaker.
As he said in his valedictory at the close
or this Congress : " The Democratic party
yielded temporary possession or the ad
ministration rather than entail upon the
peeple civil war, with all its attendant
horrors." He took charge or the Heuse in
a moment of great excitcment, und by his
firmness and patriotic spirit succcoded in
averting serious complications.
His service upon the appropriation
and ether important cemmittees was
or Inostlmable aluote the nation ; while
he always opposed extravagance he was
liberal in the treatment of worthy measures,
Above all his sterling honesty has com
manded the respect or the country. Mr.
Randall had been in peer health for the
past two j ears. Mr. Randall had been
suffering w Hh fistula, and had undergone
several surgical operations. He was al
most totally incapacitated for duty in the
Fiftieth Congress and had net appeared en
the fleer of the Ilouse during the present
session.
Congressman Tucker, of Virginia, thus
described his industry: "Randall, ai a
masterly leader or men In the most turbu
lent and difficult assembly te handle In
this country, is w ell known. Te his fellow
members us a committeeman of very gieat
industry he Is also familiar, but his closet
llfe of labor Is almost unknown. The
amount of work he does diyring a sessien
is prodigious, nud It is no wender te bis
friends that there come, times when his ex
hausted nercs pretest with rbeumatic
twinges. Though he is seldem absent from
the lloer of the Heuse whlle that body Is In
session, his 72 hours or continuous servlce
there en one occasion being new one or the
traditions that will go down te future con
gressmen net yet born, und though he Is
always at the haul or the table when his
committee meets, yet, great as these dally
labors are. they constitute) only a part or
the task that Mr. Randall Imposes en him
self. It is at night, after he has si out nu
hour with his tainily at the dinner table,
that Mr. Randall botahes himself te his
workshop, und thore begins labors that l.ibt
sometimes far Inte the night.
"There are lawyers whose fees are
greater In a month than Mr. Randall's In
come is for a year, who would regird as a
geed day's work the labor that Mr. Randall
does In his little workshop before he puts
out his light at night. He has never lweu
satisfied te take the estimates of the depart
ments or the amount of money needed. He
has net always been satisfied te take the
estimates of the suleioniniltlecserhls own
committee. He has always tried te satisfy
himself. Se that he has been accus
tomed te examine, as far as passible,
every slngle Uem calling for an appreprl i i
tlen, whether for a hundred or a bundled
thousand dollars. This sometimes In
volved prolonged labor. The laws are ex
amined, the reason for the existence of the
department looked Inte und Its functions
studled. He bocemos an auditor of
accounts in a measure. And when we
romeaiber that at each session there are,
or were before the change in the rules,
some 12 general appropriation bills, wme
of them with two or three hundred sepa sepa
rate items of appropriation, it will be been
bow prodigious must be the labor ex
pended by any roan te master them all.
He uld net pay much attention te religious
matters until recent years, but en Sunday,
January 19 last, Dr. Chester, or the Metro
politan Presbyterian church, Washington,
announced te hit congregation that Con Cen Con
freMUua Samuel J, Randall and bis wfe,
192.
who waaa daughter of Gen. Aaren Ward,
or Sing Sing, N. Y., had been admitted te
membership In that church.
He has always been a med'l husband
and father. Three children will mourn his
less a daughter the wife of C. C. Lancaster,
a lawyer of Washington, Susan, unmarried
and a bright boy who bows his fatber'a
name.
Mr. Randall waaa llUle mera than six
feet In height, but a alight steep reduced
his stature somewhat. He waa bread of
shoulder and loose of limb, weighing erer
200 pounds. His face was beardless and
his complexion aallew. Hia ayes were
black and piercing. Ilia large sited head
was surmounted by waving, short grey
hair, but in late years a little bald.
The ex-speaker diea a peer man prob
ably poorer than any ether man In Con
gress te-day. Yet nls life haa been the
Elalnest and least extravagant of any ment
or that ran be pointed out.
The Heuse In Mourning.
Waruimoten, April 14 An air e( Bad
ness pervaded the Heuso chamber when the
speaker's fa vel called the body te order at
neon te-day. Draped In black and orna
mented with handsome floral designs the
seat se. longtpccupled by Mr. Randall re
called te members the fact that their old
colleague haa passed away forever. The
crayon portrait erthe ex-speaker that bung
in the lobby waa also tastefully draped
with emblems of mourning.
In his prayer the chaplain said : "We
bless Thee. Almighty Ged, that In the gloom
which enshrouds us there is the olear shin
ing of Thy love and that In the awful still
ness about the mouth of an opening tomb
a voice, clothed with almighty power,
speaks: 'I am the resurreotlen and tiie
1 ft. Bowing with submission te Thy
will, we surrender te Thy fatherhood our
beleved friend and brother. Ills name Is
Inscribed among the heroes, patriots and
statesmen erthe countryen the lmporisbable
tablets of its history and his moniery. The
memory of his deeds and character is en
shrined In the hearts of his country-
se long and faithfully wreunht. O.
Theu who didst shed the precious drop
of pity and sympathy at Bethany's grave,
wilt Theu net come te the widow, whose
wedded lire has been one long Joyous act of
seir devotion aud the children bereaved
by this Irreparable less. Bring home te
thorn and te us the comfort and the conso
lation that no noble life is really extin
guished by death, but, passing behind the
veil which sense makes, enters upon a
higher and grander being in the glorious
light of Thy presence. Bring them and us
te that hlgher life, we pray, through Jesus
Clirist. Anion.

Lord Jesus Christ; for his patient
suffering : and that his end has been peace.
We commend te Thee these who new
gather in the dark shadow or the home
circle. Theu Judge or the widow aud rather

sorrow, lead them, keep them, and give
uute them Thy peace.

The Active Club Plays the Opantac
Game at Heme and Dees Weil.
The base ball season In this city was
opened at McQrann park en Saturday
afternoon, when the Active club, which

a home audience. The weather waa beau
tiful and ever 600 people were present
The opponents te the home team waa the
Baltimore One Price club, whleh comes
from Harrlsburg and at Umea plays very
geed ball.
This was but the second time that the
Actives played together and In their first
game, against the Lehigh University, the
team was far different from that of Satur
day. The new men who have been secured
by Manager Goedhart showed up finely,
and he seems te save made very geed selec
tions. Game waa called at half past three
o'clock. Davla was In the box for the
Actives with Q. Goedhart, late or the Leb
anon club, behind the bat. The battery
worked well and but one bit was made off
Davis In five Innings. lie was then relieved
by Jerry Snyder, who did equally wellf
allowing but one single, which was
made In the ninth Inning. Goedhart
caught both men very well aud threw
te bases In geed style. In the
first Inning it became evident that the
Actives were tee strong for tbelr oppon
ents. The former used the stick very vig
orously and rapped the ball from the
pltcber te all parts of the field. Glelm,
Halm and G. Goedhart led the hitting, and
the whele club fielded nicely. The visi
tors made some frightful errors, and
tbe way that tbey stumbled about
was wearisome. The whole score
