Col. Sam Colt died nt his residence, at

the timo of his death. At the ago of four-
teen he was sent to a School in Amherst, ,
r. f . 1 1- 1 1
.uass., iromwiuen ue runaway i,u
ed na a cabin boy on board an East In
diamon. While on this East Iudia voy
age his idea of a revolving pistol was con
ceived, and ho worked at it as ho had
opportunity and money, and in lb35
when twenty one years of ago, took out
his first patent. Patents were secured,
also, in France and England, and a com
pany formed for tho manufacture of revol
vers in Paterson, N. J., with a capital of
S300,000.
Tho company soon suspended, however,
and no more revolvers were made until
1848, at which time tho factory at Hart
ford was established. A portion of land,
comprising some two hundred and fifty
acres, was redeemed under Col. Colt's
management, and a splendid armory, of
Portland stone, built thoreon, together
Tfith.a number of neat brick houses for tlw
accommodation of his workmen, the cuter
prijjo involving the expenditure of over a
million of dollars. At the time of his death
Col. Colt ors drising this immense armory
ta its fullest capacity, the pay roll for his
workmen for the last mouth amounting to
8150,000. Tho company, of which he
was thc.head, will continuo the business,
in accordance with directions left by the
deceased.
Colonel Colt was married, Juno 0,
1S50
to Miss Elizabeth Jarvis, daughter of Itcv.
William Jarvis, of Middlctown. Four
children were the fruits oi this marriage
two have died, and a son and daughter
are now living. He had three brothers,

Cameron doubtless thought to ingratiate
himself with the radical Abolitionists by
this brutal and savago proposition, and
eventually attain the Pr e.sidency by their
aid. He played a bold hand but has lost,
and all honest men and patriots may re
joice at his discomfiture.
It incro'ses tho significance of this event
that it took place without consultation with
Cameron, and without his prior kuowlcdge;
his first information being that he was to
leavo, that his ejection was already de
termined. How much the humiliation of
his fall is increased by tho manner in
whioh it takos placo I The Secretary who
within a few months was issuing his tele

What Is Sottlcd P
What is Settlhj? Wo arc not alto
gethcr certain that tho English government
will accept of tho reasons whioh Mr. Sew
ard assigns for yielding Mason and Slidull
to their domand. It is not apparent to
us that tho gorcrnincnt has, by its do-
mand, and by tho acceptance and answer
of our government, settled any dootrino
whatever, cither tho dicputed claim of
Groat Britain to impress seamen, or the
right of taking ambassadors out of tho
neutral vessel, or any other substantial
point.
The (temauu ot jMiginnu was not maao
on any particular grouud. Tho statement
of Lord Itus.iol was vory broad, that cor
tain individuals had boon forcibly taken
from onboard a British vessel, on a law
ful and innocent voyago, an act of violence
which was an affront to the British Flag
and a violation of international law.
It should be boruo in maid that strictly
speaking this was not presented to us as a ,vh0 )ia3 desired to be recalled',
formal demand. Lord Lyons was instruct- J -'c ar0 uot allowed to know tho ref.
ed to inform tho Secretary of Stato that ho Bons 0f tl10 President for this change, bu
should make tho domand, leaving tho Seo- I ,ve can Safily venture tho opinion that it
rotary to offer tho samo terms himself rcsuU4 from his conviction that the coun
which tho British government would ask. try (esivca) and has long desired n cbr.ngi.
This course was courteous and dipl&matio, ( jt WOuld bo useless to deny, also, that tha
but it results in placing tho surrender of ( President nnd his friends felt that Mr.
Mason nnd Sli Jell wholly on the grounds (Jan)er0n has not been recently sympatt-
stated by the Secretary of Stato in his let-
tcr) and England is not bound by tho ar-
trumcut'' or explanations of Mr. Soward.
It may bo argued that England virtu
ally lays down the doctrines of that letter
by making tho demand. We do not seo
that sho does. On tho contrary, it will
be observed that Mr. Thouvenol in his
letter to Mr. Mcreicr says that the "cir
cumstance which governs nil this affair
and renders tho conduct of the American
'cruiser uiiiustifiahle.'1 is that the Trent was
. . ' . '
' not ucstinetl to a point oe.ongini to ono oi
tho bcligorcnU, but was earring her cargo
and passengers from a neutral port to a
a neutral port, Xow wero dojs it not ap
n ar that this U not the cround of Lord
j llus el's complaint abo ? In what senso
'c.-.n it be held tint England assents to any
i tf tho reasons which Mr. Seward assigns
' for ll,c fing up of the prisoners, who.,

; certainly cot bu hodorable, for England
; to withdraw from the etlgtct without d
j mittistg, or denyin this point. But bIio
may do so, aiid when Mr. Seward's letter
.'is read in England, wo take it for granted
there will be a strong disposition thoio to
avoid conceding any of tho principles
which he lays down for tho future assent
of the two countries.

with the maimer in which the surrender
has been made, and wc greatly mi-take

if it shall be found that wc have made any
advaneii in settling principles of interna
tional law by tho courso which has been
pursued.

that Secret nry Cameron had retired from

wholly unexpected, and no man was moro

and nddrojsed a note to Mr. Cameron, in
forming bim of it. This noto was received
by Mr. Canicrou last night, nud waj tlio
urst intimation no nau mat a ciianga in

is needless to deny thut tho War Minuter

Cvening Jjurnal,
Seorotary Cameron's Successor.
Mr. Stanton, the new Secretary of War
has figured but little on tho stage of lu-
jtioiial politics. He is a Pennsylvania!! by
birth, and is now in the prime of life.
Ho was for some time a resident of Pitts
burg, and afterward of Washington. By
profctsion he is a lawyer, as which ho has
attained great eminence. In tho West ho
was constantly engaged in arguing in tho
higher Courts and most important cases
among others the celebrated Wheeling
bridgo case; and in Washington ho has
been engaged for years in arguing cased
before the United States Supremo Court.
His political antecedents aro of tho
Pennsylvania Democratic tchool, and ho
has always bcon high toned and modcrato
in his polities. Ho wai called to Mr. B.
chanan's Cabinet, it will be remembered,
about December, 1900 taking tho plaoo
of Mr. Black as Attorney General, whon
the latter individual assumed tho position
of Secretary of Stato on tho resignation of
Mr. Cass. Mr. Stanton is a man of tried
loyality, of integrity, of great cxecutivo
ability, nnd, it is believed, eminently fU.
ted for th1 oucrous po3t of Secretary of
War, to which he has been called by tha
President at tho present ciiois. Phila
