GEORGE H. WILLIAMS IS DEAD

Was Attorney General During Grant’s Second Term as President. George H. Williams, whom President Grant tried to make Chief Justice of the supreme court, died at Portland, Ore., aged sixty-seven. He was attorney general in Grant’s second term and his name figured largely in the news of the days that preceded the Tilden campaign in 1876. The senate refused in 1873 to put him on the supreme court bench. ■ -/ . ■
