Besides having been state treasurer nider Chamberlrin, he had been see .etary of state under Scott. Cardozo was ai educated negro. About the time of the war, perhaps luring it, he worked at ship carpen -ering, in which trade he saved up iome money." When he was 21 years >ld lie -went to- Scotland and entered he University of Edinburgh. Here lie raduated with such disthiction that ie won a scholarship which allowed iim two years' university work in any ntitution ie might select in Europe. fe chose some, theological school in ".ondoi, where he went and became a 'Reverend.'' lHe then entered the iiinistry of the Coigriegational church *eceiving a call to a church in New [Iaven, Connecticut. Soon afte'wards, 1owever, he was sent by tl)e Ameri .an mission board to Charleston as rincipal of the Avery institute. And Lrom there, as his. sons, who are here ii Washington, tell me, -"lie Went nto polities." And wq know Lite rest -Reynolds' History of Reconrtruc. ion tells us a few interesting item,. In 1877 Cardozo took his flight'with .he rest, as said above, and scoured a job in' the treasury 'department in Washington, his salary being $1,600 Sea"r. He remained in this position itil 1884, when 'through his old Mend, "Dr. Purvis," he was elected -o the position of principal of the ,chool for negroes, now known as the %I Street high school. . H.

Anyway, Uncle Sanm has been' look ng after him for some good little vhile, I understand. But Cardozo, he remained principal >f the high school until lie died, about tvo years ago. lHe has a son, Franc.is B. Cardozo, who is supervisory prin iipal of the- Lincoln school for negro ihild ron in southeast Washington. Anothcr son is a druggist hero. I have made careful inquiries about the ox-state' treasurer, likewise ex sonviet, for whom the district comnmis sioners have decided to name a school rmilaing. They say he bore a good sharacter here, and while lood upon with some suspicion;'perhaps, because Liiey say lie was ''a politlcian,'' there is 'nothing that I can learn of which would indicate that lie ever managed to get hold of ariy public moneys or rell any state or national bonds, ap propriating the proceeds to his pri v'ate uses, as in the good old days of yore. About naming tihe' school after him, one negro with whom -I talked seem od'to think that it was rather an un usual proceeding and hardly a'proper one..
