POWELL, LAZARUS W., ex-Governor, and 

 United States Senator, born in Henderson 

 County, Ky., October 6, 1812; died in Ilen- 

 . Ky.. July 3, 1867. His early educa- 

 tional advantages were excellent, and im- 

 proving them amply, he graduated at St. 

 Joseph's College, 15anl>town, in the summer of 

 1833, being at the time nearly twenty-one years 

 of age. Two years afterward he was admitted 

 to the bar, having in the mean time graduated 

 at the then flourishing law school connected 

 with Transylvania University. Ilk then en-

 ing to its duties the occupation of a farmer, 

 and evincing remarkable energy in both pur- 

 suits. Governor Powell early embarked in 

 political life ; and in June, 1830, he was elected 

 to the Legislature. Bringing a large amount 

 of energy and enthusiasm to the discharge of 

 his duties, he proved a most useful member, 

 and at the outset of his career gave full prom- 

 that distinction he subsequently gained. 

 While positive- and decided in his adhesion to 

 the principles and policy of his party, he was

 among his friend* and political opponent*. In 

 1851 he was elected Governor of Kentucky, 

 being the first successful candidate of his party 

 for many years. This result was largely due 

 to his amiable qualities, acknowledged integ- 

 rity and qualifications, and the personal in- 

 fluence he possessed over the masses. In the 

 winter of 1858-'59 Governor Powell was elected 

 by the Kentucky Legislature United States 

 Senator for the long term, commencing in 1859. 

 His senatorial career was in every respect hon-

 Without any pretensions to great genius or 

 splendid oratory, ho was yet a clear and forci- 

 ble reasoner, an excellent working member, 

 and, above and beyond all, a firm and uncom- 

 promising adherent- to constitutional principle. 

 As a committee-man his services were invalu- 

 able. He served on the Judiciary, Pensions, 

 and Printing Committees, but was not reflected 

 at the expiration of his term, owing to his ex- 

 treme anti-war views.
