HON. JOHN WOODWARD SATTERWHITE
Is now in the full prime and vigor of manhood, having first seen the light of day in South Carolina thirty-nine years ago. Nature was kind in her distribution of gifts to this eminent gentleman, and his every action gives evidence of careful training under the shadow of the paternal roof. He received a fair education in his youth, and being endowed with great courage and perseverance, at the age go nineteen, he started with an emigrant party for California, via the old Butterfield Stage Route. After arriving on the coast, he applied himself vigorously to his profession, and in a short while he had a lucrative law practice. He naturally took to politics, and the people of San Bernardino, recognizing his integrity and worth, in 1865-6 sent him to the Assembly. There he was soon recognized for his uncompromising democracy, and unflinching adherence to the principles of JEFFERSON and JACKSON, and the industry he exhibited in all his actions. This was the turning point in the young man's life, not yet having been quite five years in the State. Returning home he was elected District Attorney, and in the Fall of 1869-70 was again elected to the Assembly, and was regarded as the leader of the Young Democracy. His readiness to acquire and retain knowledge of parliamentary law secured that distinction for him. Added to his well-known honesty of purpose, sober habits and quiet determined demeanor and thorough legal experience, he was a power for much good during that session. The citizens of his district, still having implicit confidence in him, elected him to the Senate in 1875. It was during the Winter of 1877-8 that the writer first made his acquaintance, and enjoyed every opportunity to study his qualities; and, in brief, they can be told with credit to Mr. SATTERWHITE and his constituency. He is bold, determined, honest, blunt, straightforward, reasonable, just, conscientious, and uncompromisingly a genuine type of a Southern Democrat. In that body he figured most conspicuously as an economist. He was beyond doubt one of the ablest parliamentarians in the Cahmber. He was again elected to the Senate on account of his unswerving devotion to principle, and to-day is recognized leader of the Democracy of both houses, while he wields immense influence among the Workingmen. He is at present on the Judiciary, Irrigation, County Governments, and Election Committees, and works as industriously on each as he does in the Senate Chamber, where he keeps a sharp lookout for "peculiar" legislation. He is a tall, fair looking man, and has a captivating eye - one that speaks to you, and says, "I knew it" unconsciously. He wears small chin whiskers, and has quite a fair supply of rich brown hair. He is not as graceful as some men, but has an easy gait, and when speaking uses his forearms and hands, never indulging in sweeping gestures. He is seldom ever at a loss for a word; is more argumentative than oratorical, and in most cases generally carries conviction by the strict virtue of his sincerity.
He is married, and has a lucrative law practice in San Bernardino. His name is already prominently mentioned in connection with the Congressional nomination in the Fourth District, and should he be placed before the people and elected, California will have a representative at Washington of whom she may well feel proud.
