I am confirmed in this statement by correspondence with brother officers, among others Major C. K. Dutton, of New York City, who writes me: Your statement of the position of 146th is correct. One thing I do know, viz., that my company (H) was to the right of the rock, and several companies of the regiment on the right of my company before the 91st Pennsylvania came in line.

At the expiration of this term in 1877 he was defeated for reelection; but in 1879 he was a successful candidate, and held this seat by re-election in 1885 till his death. In 1884 he was the Republican candidate for Vice-President of the United States on the unsuccessful ticket headed by James G. Blaine. He died in Washington, D. C., Dec. 26, 1886.
