" 'I congratulate you, therefore, most heartilyupon a service of each exceptional duration, fidelity and distinction. Nor can I overlook that you received your commission of Abraham Lincoln, and, graciously spared by kind providence, have survived all the members of the court of his. appointment. " 'Upon your retirement both bench and country will sustain a great loss, but the high character and great ability of your work will live long to bo remem bered not only by your colleagues but by your greatful fellow countrymen.

"When my resignation takes effect my period of service on this bench will have exceeded that of any of my pred ecessors, while my entire period of ju dicial life will have embraced more than forty years. I may be pordoned for Baying that during all this period, long in comparison with the brevity of human, life, though in retrospect, it has gone with a swiftness of a tale that is told, I have not shunned to declare in every case that has come before me for decision conclusions which my deliber ate convictions compelled me to arrive at, but conscientious exercise of such abilities and requirements as I possess ed."
