OBITUARIES, UNITED STATES. 



the proper reward of labor was a like amount 

 of labor. " If I am a bricklayer, and need the 

 services of a physician," said he, "an hour of 

 my work in bricklaying is the proper recom- 

 pense to be given the physician for an hour of 

 his services. In other words, the cost, meas- 

 ured in time, of any thing, is the limit ot price." 

 Mr. Warren carried this singular notion into 

 practical effect by establishing what was known 

 as the " time-store " in Cincinnati, which he 

 conducted with fair success for two years, he 

 giving and receiving labor-notes in transac- 

 tions with his customers. He propounded his 

 theories in a work entitled the "True Civiliza- 

 tion," and elicited the commendation of John 

 Stuart Mill for some of his views. Until in- 

 creasing age and infirmity rendered it impossi- 

 ble, Mr. Warren was frequently seen at labor- 

 reform meetings, and often engaged in discus- 

 sions on these themes. 



April 16. CuoxTOtf, Brigadier and Brevet 

 Major-General JOHH THOMAS, U. S. Volunteers, 

 an American lawyer, soldier, and diplomatist, 

 born in Bourbon County, Ky., November 20, 

 1837; died at La Paz, Bolivia, in the 37th 

 year of his age. He graduated from Yale Col- 

 lege in 1857, studied law with Hon. James 

 F. Robinson, of Georgetown, Ky., and was 

 admitted to the bar in September, 1858, and, 

 after a few years of teaching in Mississippi, 

 began practice in Paris, Ky., in August, 1859. 

 Two years later he was active in the move- 

 ment for raising Union troops in Kentucky, 

 and went to the front in June, 1861, as lieuten- 

 ant-colonel of the Fourth Kentucky Infantry. 

 In March, 1862, he succeeded to the command 

 of the regiment, and received his commission 

 as brigadier-general of volunteers (in which 

 capacity he had acted for some time) in Au- 

 gust, 1864, for his previous gallant conduct at 

 Chickamauga. Soon after he was brevetted 

 major-general. He had a large share in the 

 perils and heroism of the battles of Sher- 

 man's army, and at the close of .the war was 

 put in command of the Military District of 

 Southwest Georgia, with headquarters at Ma- 

 con. He remained there till December, 1865, 

 when he resigned his commission and returned 

 to Kentucky, where, after reviewing his studies, 

 he resumed the practice of law, residing on his 

 farm near Paris. Two or three years later he 

 took an active part in establishing the Louis- 

 mile Commercial, as a Republican journal. His 

 exposure during the war and subsequent over- 

 work had greatly impaired his health, and he 

 visited Colorado early in 1873, in the hope of 

 gaining relief. While there the position of 

 United States minister to Bolivia was tendered 

 to him and accepted, in the expectation of 

 benefit to his health from it ; but it was too 

 late. He died at La Paz about six months 

 after his arrival there.

 elected a member of Assembly. He held the 

 office of Judge in Greene County from 1851 to 

 1855, and was a member of the State Senate 

 from 1861 to 1864. Mr. Bailey succeeded Ros- 

 coe Conkling as member of Congress for the 

 twenty -first district when the latter was elected 

 to the United States Senate in 1867, and served 

 in all two terms. He was a County Judge in 

 Oneida County at the time of his death. Mr.

 He received a good academical education, but 

 was apprenticed to a firm of furniture-paint-

 them till 1821. He joined the Methodist Epis- 

 copal Church in 1817, and was diligent in

 his apprenticeship, studying theology during 

 the last two years of it with Bishop Emory. 

 He was licensed to preach in 1821, and ap- 

 pointed to the Harford Circuit, joining the Con- 

 ference in full connection in 1822. In 1823 he 

 was appointed to the Redstone Circuit, a part 

 of which lay west of the Alleghanies, and in-

 ferred to the Navy-yard, Washington, and his 

 subsequent appointments were mostly in East- 

 ern Maryland and Virginia. In 1832 he was 

 appointed presiding elder of the Potomac Dis- 

 trict, and in 1837 elected chaplain of the United 

 States Senate, and twice reflected. He was 

 stationed at Carlisle, Pa., in 1846, and was
