for Kentucky in 1866, and held office till 1876, when he became manager of the Louisville, Ky., "Commercial." He was appointed governor of Utah by President Hayes in 1880, reappointed by President Arthur in 1884 for a term of four years, but resigned before its completion. Throughout his administration he opposed the encroachments of the Mormon church and the advance of polygamy. MURRAY, Hannah Lindley, translator, b. in New York city, 10 March, 1777; d. there. 3 July, 1836. Her father was a native of Pennsylvania, who settled in New York before the Revolution and was a successful merchant of that city for more than fifty years. The daughter was an ac- complished linguist, and with her sister Mary translated Tasso's "Jerusalem Delivered," the "Fall of Phaeton" from Ovid, a -'History of Hun- gary " from the French of M. de Sacy, Massillon's " Discourses," and a variety of operas from differ- •ent languages. She also painted, wrote verses and hymns, and, aided by her sister, composed a poem in eight books on the " Restoration of the Jews." None of her writings were published until after her death, when a few of her miscellanies were in- cluded in a "Memoir" by Rev. Gardiner Spring, D. D. (New York, 1849).
MURRAY. James, governor of Canada, b. in
Scotland about 1725: d. in Eeauport House, near
Bat tell. Sussex, 8 June, 1794. He was the fifth
son of Alexander, Lord Elibank, entered the
army at an early age, and became a lieutenant-
colonel of the 15th foot. 5 Jan., 1751. He served
with Wolfe in the expedition against Rochefort,
was made a colonel, 5 Jan., 1758, and led the 2d
brigade in the expedition against Louisburg. He
was junior brigadier under Wolfe at Quebec in
1759, and commanded the 3d brigade at the Plains
of Abraham. After the death of Wolfe, Murray
took command of the forces, and was appointed
governor of Quebec, 27 Oct., 1760. During the
winter of 1759-'60 Gen. Murray established twelve
redoubts and outposts around the city, and took
every precaution to place it in a thorough state of
•defence against the thi-eatened attack of the
French. The Duke de Levis, the French com-
mander, landed with his troops at Pointe-aux-
Trembles, 26 April, 1760, marched to Lorette, and
thence to Sainte Foye church, threatening Murray's
advance posts. The latter, in consequence of this
movement, was compelled to post some of his
forces between Sainte Foye and Sillery, so as to
prevent the advance of the French, and on 28 April
marched out of Quebec with the rest of his troops,
axid attacked the advance guard of De Levis's
army. The battle soon became general, and the
British, being outnumbered three to one, were
finally forced to retire within the city walls, after
losing about 300 killed. The French loss was
about 600. De Levis then besieged the city, but
on 15 May the siege was raised, and, though he was
pursued by the British, De Levis succeeded in
effecting a junction with Vaudreuil at Montreal,
where a final stand was to be made for French su-
premacy in Canada. Quebec being now secure.
Gen. Murray, with the remnant of Wolfe's divis-
ion, 2,450 men, marched to Montreal on 10 June
to aid Gen. Amherst in the investment of that city.
On 7 Sept., Gov. Vaudreuil, becoming convinced of
the hopelessness of defending Montreal against
the British, sent out De Bougainville with a draft
of articles comprising the conditions upon which
he was willing to surrender Canada. These condi-
tions having been modified to suit the British, the
articles of capitulation were signed bv both parties
on 8 Sept., 1760. On 21 Nov., 1763,'Gen. Murray
was appointed governor of Canada, and com-
mander-in-chief of the British forces there, which
offices he retained till 1766. During his adminis-
tration the form of government and the laws to be
observed in the new colony were promulgated.
Everything was done by the governor to alleviate
the discontent of the conquered population, but
with only partial success. Representatives of the
people were summoned to Quebec by the governor
in 1765, but his attempt to constitute a representa-
tive assembly failed, according to Fran§ois X.
Garneau, the historian, owing to the unwillingness
of the French Roman Catholics to take the test
oath that was imposed by the imperial statute. In
his desire to conciliate the Canadians, Gov. Murray
provoked the wrath of the British residents, who
petitioned for his recall, at the same time charging
him with pandering to French prejudices to the
detriment of the English-speaking population, an
imputation of which he was honorably acquitted on
his return to England. During his administration
in 1763 the Indian uprising under Pontiac {q. v.)
took place in the west. He returned to England
in 1766 became a lieutenant-general in 1772, lieu-
tenant-governor of Minorca in 1774, and governor
in 1778. He was made general in 1783, governor of
Hull in 1785, and colonel of the 21st fusiliers on 5
June, 1789. Gen. Murray made a gallant but unsuc-
cessful defence of Minorca in 1781 against the Due
de Crillon, with a large French and Spanish force,
and rejected the French general's offer of a bribe
of £1,000.000 for the surrender of the fortress.
MURRAY, James, soldier, b. in Rhode Island
about 1765 ; d. in Calcutta, India, in 1806. In
consequence of a quarrel with his family, he went
to sea in early life, changing his name from Lilli-
bridge to Murray. He entered the service of
Holka, the Mahratta chief, in 1790, and soon be-
came noted for his brilliant exploits and military
skill, but he incurred the displeasure of his chief
by his humanity to a party of British officers, and
after fifteen years' service left him and, raising a
large force, occupied an extensive district as its
reigning sovereign. When the war between the
British and Scindia began, Murray joined Lord
Lake with 7,000 cavalry, and was employed in
many dangerous and important services. At the
siege of Bhurtpore he was continually in action,
and he was considered the best partisan officer in
the army. At the close of the war, having accu-
mulated a large fortune, he determined to return
to this country. At a splendid entertainment that
was given by him a few days before his intended
departure he mounted a favorite Arabian horse
and endeavored to leap over the dining-table, a
feat that he had frequently performed on other
occasions for the entertainment of his guests. But
the animal entangled his feet in the carpet, and
threw his rider, who died from the injuries that he
received. Murray was regarded as the best horse-
man in India, and was unrivalled in the use of the
broad-sword, as well as a skilful marksman.
MURRAY, John, soldier, b. in Scotland about 1731 ; d. in Dauphin county. Pa.. 3 Feb., 1798. He emigrated to this country with his father, William Murray, and in 1766 purchased land near
the town of Dauphin, Pa. He was an ardent patriot, and in March, 1776, was the first to be appointed to command a company in Col. Samuel Miles's "rifle regiment." In March, 1777, he was promoted major of the Pennsylvania state regiment, and in December, 1778, he was made lieutenant-colonel of the 2d Pennsylvania. He served until
the disbanding of the army in 1783, participating in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, Tren-
