Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of John Edwards Leonard: A Representative From Louisiana, Delivered in the House of Representatives April 18, 1878, (Forty-Fifth Congress, Second Session;) At another and more fitting occasion it will be my duty to pay a proper tribute to my deceased colleague, and I therefore content myself now by moving that out of respect to the memory of Judge Leonard the House do now adjourn. The motion was agreed to unanimously; and accordingly (at four o´clock and thirty minutes p.m.) the House adjourned. March 25, 1879. The Speaker. The Chair desires to submit a communication from the Secretary of State; which the Clerk will read. The Clerk read as follows: Department of State, Washington, March 22, 1878. Sir: Referring to the previous correspondence in regard to the death of the Hon. John Edwards Leonard, a member of Congress from Louisiana, I have now the honor to transmit herewith two copies of a dispatch dated the 15th instant, which has just been received from the consul-general of the United States at Havana, containing the particulars of the illness and death of deceased. I will thank you to cause one of the copies of the dispatch to be transmitted to Mr. Leonard´s father. I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, WM. M. Evarts. Hon. S. J. Randall, Speaker House of Representatives. (Inclosure. - Dispatch No.670, from the consul-general at Havana.) United States Consulate-General, Havana, March 15, 1878. Sir: It is with sorrow that I have to announce to the Department the death at this place of Hon. John Edwards Leonard, member of the present Congress from the State of Louisiana. It occurred at the Hotel Telégrafo in this city at about one o´clock this morning. Mr. Leonard arrived here on the 4th instant in the steamer Columbus. He had previously advised me of his coming, and of the purely personal character of the affairs which had induced him to visit the island at this time. He brought with him letters of introduction to several prominent persons of the place, among them to General Jovellar.
