189 Maryland. Charles Pinckney resigned his seat in the senate to become foreign minister, five resigned to accept places in the cabinet. Six were defeated for reelection to the senate, and four to the house. Two, John Quincy Adams and Robert Rantoul died in office. J. J. Crittenden died while a candidate for reelection. Thomas H. Benton served the longest of any in the list, Robert Rantoul the shortest time. The list too contains the name of the only expresident to serve in the house. Twenty of the list were in public service before 1850. No senator has taken this backward step since 1885.
