PATTERSON, JAMES WILLIS, LL. D.-Continued.

in 1852 he was chosen tutor at Dartmonth; was professor of mathematics, 18541859; professor of astronomy and meteorology, 1859 to 1865; meantime, was commissioner of schools for his county and secretary of the State board. In 1862 was member of the State house of representatives, and made a notable speech on Federal relations; was elected to Congress in 1863 and the following term, and in 1867 to the United States Senate. He had unusual advantages as he entered upon public life. Of large and well proportioned physique, good health, and industrious habits, he was capable of constant hard work, and had the voice and form which gave him effectiveness as a speaker; his mind was strong, receptive, on the alert, and well trained in accurate methods and endurance; he had read widely and reflected deeply; was pure in character and conscientious in conduct; his opinions on the current issues of the period which so tried men's souls were carefully matured and patriotic. He was placed on committees in both Houses, such as that of the Committee on the District of Columbia, and Education, and Foreign Affairs, and special committees, such as that on the death of Lincola, and reform, for whose duties he was specially fitted. He, with Messrs. Garfield and Boutwell, secured the passage through the House of the bill establishing the Department, afterwards the Bureau of Education, and later, when $1,000 had been taken from its salary and its clerks reduced to two of the lowest grade, and there was a disposition, even among its friends, to omit its allowance from the appropriation, which would have terminated its work, Mr. Patterson never wavered in the support of the office, and was one to whom President Grant gave his opinion that as the slaves had been freed and education must perform so important a part in the new conditions, the Bureau should be further tried. He was efficient in cooperating with Hon. J. Ormand Wilson, superintendent of schools, in promoting legislation for the education of both blacks and whites in the District of Columbia, and in securing improved organization and administration, and better schoolhouses and teachers. Indeed, he was efficient in promoting all those measures of his day which led to new Washington as the pride of tho country. He was active and wise in aiding the institutions for the deaf at Kendal Green, and represented Congress in the Smithsonian directory. He did well his part as worker and speaker in the passage of the constitutional amendments, in the improvement of the Civil Service, the elevation of the Consular Service, in the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau, in the reorganization of the judicial service, and securing other departmental changes required. His speeches and reports evidence his patriotism, industry, and learning, and his power as a writer and speaker. When he was about to retire from the Senate he was made the subject of a most singular and cruel piece of injustice. In 1872 it was found that various Members of Congress held stock in the Credit Mobilier, a company organized under the laws of one of the States for the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad. Great excitement followed, and a committee of investigation was ordered in each House. The Senate committee, in the last overcrowded hours of the Senate, when Mr. Patterson's service was to terminate, offered a resolution to expel him, when there was no opportunity for examination or reply. The resolution was never either considered or adopted. In the whole affair, it was found afterwards by those who gave it the most minute and thorough investigation, there was no ground for the proposed action, which appeared, in the light of all the facts, as an effort to make Mr. Patterson a scapegoat, his entiro connection with the affair being fully explained by his own statement, in accordance with the facts, thus showing the resolution to be one of the most cruel things ever attempted, as it has since been uniformly characterized by public men best informed and of most critical judgment. He visited England twice and traveled on the Continent of Europe once. He was much called for as a political speaker, and as orator on great historical or memorial occasions, and was again elected by his townsmen as member of the State legislature, and in 1885 was appointed superintendent of the schools of New Hampshire, and so remained until a few months before his death, when he was elected to a special professorship in Dartmouth College. No man ever made a greater impression on the schools of the State. As he went about lecturing and visiting schools he was called a traveling university. As a teacher, he was a great favorite with his students, and was one of the early teachers to whose awakening power Dr. W. T. Harris was fond of acknowledging his indebtedness. He died suddenly, sitting in his chair, in the weekly prayer meeting.
