Read More	Obituary R. C. Badger. Maj. Richard Cogdell Badger died at his residence in this city yesterday morning, after a long and painful illness. Maj. Badger was born in Raleigh, August 8th, 1839. He was sprung from an illustrious ancestry. He was a descendant of Richard Cogdell, the chairman of the Committee of Safety at New Berne in the early days of the Revolution, and a son of Hon. George E. Badger, perhaps the most distinguished public man yet produced in North Carolina, by his last wife, a daughter of Mr. Sherwood Haywood, and a lady greatly esteemed and beloved by a large circle of friends and relatives. Mr. Badger inherited many of those qualities for which his father, Judge Badger, was so distinguished. He came to the bar at an early age, and gave rare promise of developing into a lawyer of unusual prominence. But the law is a jealous mistress, and its onerous duties were too confining for the genial disposition of Mr. Badger, who was gradually drawn into active politics. His capacity and qualities as a lawyer led to his selection, by Gov. Holden, as associate counsel with Hon. W. N. H. Smith, Mr. McCorkle and Mr. Conigland, on the occasion of his impeachment, which was the greatest trial ever held in North Carolina. In his practice, Mr. Badger was bold, strong and self-reliant, calling to his aid the principles of law, rather than confining himself to the precedents of adjudicated cases. In politics he was a Republican, and being of an ardent temperament he expoused the cause of that party with warmth and vigor. But he was independent in his judgement and at times differed widely from his party leaders, and he never hesitated to expires his views, no matter whom he antagonized. -- News and Observer.
