But a man has to be a Daniel or a General Putnam to venture into that den of his. There's only one man in the world who can beard Silas, and he's the finest states-right Southern gentleman you ever saw. I mean Colonel Carvel. You've heard of him, Oglesby. Don't they quarrel once in a while, Mr. Brice?" "They do have occasional arguments," said Stephen, amused. "Arguments!" cried Mr.
At the last moment, yielding to the terrific pressure of protest which had been developed by the defense in the last months, and a great wave of general sympathy with the men throughout the country, Governor Oglesby commuted the sentences of Fielden and Schwab to life imprisonment.
Before the solemn and august procession should leave the National Capital to bear his mortal remains to the State which had loved and honored him, the Illinois delegation called to assure his successor of their respect and their confidence. Governor Oglesby who spoke for his associates, addressed the President in language eminently befitting the occasion.
Put tomatoes in a kettle, mash with a spoon, mix in the sugar, lemons and ginger, and boil slowly for three hours, or until the preserve is of the consistency of marmalade. This is a new and very choice sweetmeat; and, so far as we know, is not to be found in any other recipe-book. ORANGE MARMALADE. From MRS. GOVERNOR OGLESBY, of Illinois, Lady Manager.
General Grant was soon made a Brigadier-General, the first to be commissioned from Illinois, and was sent to command at Cairo. I became pretty well acquainted with him at Springfield, and subsequently I visited Cairo, and found there General Grant, Governor Oglesby, and other Illinoisans in command of regiments.
Strangely enough, Stephen was seized with a desire to vindicate the Colonel's courage. Both Mr. Lincoln and Judge Oglesby forestalled him. "Not a fighting man!" exclaimed the Judge. "Why, the other day " "Now, Oglesby," put in Mr. Lincoln, "I wanted to tell that story." Stephen had heard it, and so have we. But Mr. Lincoln's imitation of the Colonel's drawl brought him a pang like homesickness.
"Judge Whipple told you to run till you found me, did he, Mr. Brice?" "Yes, sir." "Is the Judge the same old criss-cross, contrary, violent fool that he always was?" Providence put an answer in Stephen's mouth. "He's been very good to me, Mr. Lincoln." Mr. Lincoln broke into laughter. "Why, he's the biggest-hearted man I know. You know him, Oglesby, Silas Whipple.
While we were waiting for the Committee on Platform to report, there were quite a number of speeches by favorite sons of the different States, Senator Logan and Governor Oglesby, from Illinois, being among them. Senator Logan's speech is not very clear in my memory; but I do remember very well the speech by Governor Oglesby. He made a wonderful impression.
I give this incident as illustrating the difference between the characters of Oglesby and Logan. The latter's honesty and integrity were never doubted. I believe he would not have hesitated for a moment to kill any one who would have questioned his honesty.
I accordingly sent a regiment from Bird's Point under Colonel W. H. L. Wallace to overtake and reinforce Oglesby, with orders to march to New Madrid, a point some distance below Columbus, on the Missouri side.
