His ability, his industry, and his broadly liberal views have given him a high standing among the people of his State .-- William H.Robertson entered at the same time from the Westchester district.

He was a member of the House for only a single term, but he left a clear imprint of the high character which has since been put to severe tests and was never found wanting.

Able and frank, conscientious and careful in the discharge of every trust, Mr.
Robertson has established a reputation without spot or blemish .-- Orange Ferriss, since of honorable repute as one of the Auditors in the Treasury Department, John C.Churchill, who had already attained a good standing at the Bar, and Addison H.Laflin, afterwards appointed to an important customs office in the city of New York, all entered at this session.
John Coburn, who had made a good record in the war, came from the State of Indiana.

Firm and tenacious in his opinions, even to the point of obstinacy, he was for years an active and useful representative of the people.

He could not be deflected from what he regarded as the line of duty and he soon acquired the respect of both sides of the House .-- Morton C.Hunter, who had done good service in the Army of the Tennessee, as Colonel of an Indiana regiment, and afterwards commanded a brigade in Sherman's Atlanta campaign, now entered from the Bloomington district .-- Austin Blair, who had won great praise as Governor of Michigan during the war, now entered as representative from the Jackson district.
