During the Civil war, he organized and commanded the Fifty-ninth New York Volunteer Regiment, and was injured at New Orleans. For his services he was made brigadier-general by brevet. After having assiduously practised law, he was elected judge of the New York Marine Court in 1870 and acted as such up to 1877. He then resumed practise.
