Shields again took his seat in the United States Senate in January. 1879. and retired in March following. upon the expiration of the term. He was succeeded in the Senate by the distinguished Senator who now represents that State with such marked ability. Mr. President. the simple recital of the wonderful career of Gen. Shields. giving but a brief outline. seems almost like a dream of fancy. a romance of imagination. No other Ameri: can citizen. native or naturalized. has ever been certified or commissioned as a member of this Senate by three different great States. The announcement of the fact that Gen. Shields was so commissioned carries with it the irresistible conclusion that he was no ordinary man.
