FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1861.
Tribute of Respect io Goin JlcDonald.
At the present term of the Supremo Court,
now in session in tins city, on motion of C. B e
Cole, the Court appointed a committe of the
Bar in attendance on the Court to report suita
ble resolutions on the death of the late Hon.
Charles J. McDonald. On a subsequent day
of the Court, the Hon. C. B. Cole made the
following Report, which upon being read was
ordered to be entered on the Minutes of the
Court:
Charles J. McDonald was born in the city
of Charleston, was graduated at the South Car
olina College, and studied the profession of the
Law with the late Major Joel Crawford. After
admission to the Bar, he settled first in Mil
ledgeville —thence he removed to Clinton, in
Jones county, and from that place to the city
of Macon, where he resided for many years. —
After the expiration of his Gubernational term,
he removed to Marietta-—where, a few months
ago, he diet!, at an advanced age and full of
honors. He early acquired distinction as alawi
yer, bringing into the practice industry, integ'
rity, zeal and the resources of a vigorous and
welLtraincd intellect. He was eminent as a
pleader, and remarkable for solid, discriinirat
ing professional judgment. This latter endow
ment was conspicuously manifested on the
Bench. First as a Circuit Judge, and after
wards as one of the Justices of the Supreme
Court of Georgia, he displayed the attributes
of an aide and upright magistrate—patience,
justice, firmness, courtesy and learning. AL
though a good classic, and possessed of a fine
voice and commanding person, he was not
eloquent, in the common acceptation of that
word. Vet his speeches were effective on ac
count of lhe clear, strong reasoning which
always characterized them, lie handled facts
adroitfy b.fotc a Jury, and principles skillfully
before the Court. He stood, at bis death at
the head of his profession, having sustained its
labors with manliness and courage, and won
its highest honors. His recorded opinions,
whilst on tlm Iletich , are characterized bv brev
ity, perspicuity, and a severe judicial logic.— ;
They arc highly creditable to the professional
liteiatm e of the State.
In the course of his professional career, he
was Solicitor General, Judge of the Flint Cir
cuit, and Judge of the Supreme Uouit.
Judge McDonald was not less distinguished
as a politician, than r.s a lawyer, lit this brief
memorial, it i- practicable only to say, that, he
represented the county of B.bb m the Legisla
ture, for a number of years, and presided over
the State as her Chief Magistrate for two terms
—that our records bear ample testimony to his
patiiotism and statesmanship—and that he
was from early manhood to the latest days of
his life, an earnest, enterprising and able sup- .
porter of the best interests of the State and of
the Nation. For more than twenty years, he I
was a member of the Board of Trustees of the
Stale University—and an enlightened patron
of education. He was a believer in the Reve
latiou of the Son of Go-1 and a liberal contribu
tor to the institutions and charities of the 1
church. He was an alfablc and most agreeable
gentleman, a true friend, an affectionate parent, I
a tender husband, and a just and forbearing
master. We may not dwell upon the graces and
virtues of b's private character —the record
would be too volitmniotis for the occasion.—
His brethren ofthis Bar revere his memory —
deplore his loss and regard his noble character
as a priceless Dgacy to them and their success
ors. Ever and anon we are called to these sol
emn ceremonies. The great and good fall fre
quently aroun 1 us. AVe are also mortal. Let
us, therefore, learn the lesson proper for all
nun —in life, prepare for death.
R ’>'cd. That we lament the death of our
frii-iid and brother, Charles J. McDona! 1, and
>vtn> athizc with hi' bereaved family arid rcla
tjv. 3 —that we will strive to emulate his virtues
ns, ] that in this melancholy dispensation we
recognize the sovereignty of the Great Judge
of the quick and the dea l.
R solve I, That this paper be spread upon
the Minutes of this Comt, and the Clerk trans
mit a copy to the family of the deceased.
Judge Lumpkin, on the part of the Court,
res ended in the most felicitous manner, a«
follows’.
Death has wi-h fearful frequency invaded this
Bar within the last sixteen years. He has forced
his way into the narrow precincts occupied by
the officers of Court. Now, lor the first time,
he has assailed the Bench, and borne triumph
antlyto his silent domain, one who so lately sat
on my right —a model man —a model Judge.
Verily all the glory of the world is grass; its
greatest men only as the flower of the grass,
and the Hower falls first before the grass. All
the splendor of life is little more than the clouds
of the west, illuminated by the beams of the
seting sun. The greatest scepter —the most
illustrous crown arc but gilded toys; and the
procession, of the noblest and the humblest, is
alike a funeral procession to the grave.
“ Life is Heeling,
And our liC'.'.rts, though stout and brave,
Stil like muliled drums are beating,
Funeral inarches to the grave.”
Every swing of the clock’s pendulum carries
a soul to eternity. Every day we are dying.-
Everv pulse of the heart is the curfew bell,
that admonishes us the day is closing, and the
night about to begin, in which ail earth’s pas.
sions are hushed in sleep.
And what shall I say of our departed friend
and brother as tt man —a jurist, and a public
functionary? One whose name, for lo I these
many years, lias been a household word in eve
ry home in the State ? Was ever a man in
Georgia more beloved or more lamented? Who
among us had so wide a circle of attached
friends ? Could it be otherwise, when we re
member his unilorm kindness and courtesy to
all ? 1 have known him long and intimately,
and never on any occasion have I seen him
wanting in that politeness and consideration
which stamp the true gentleman.
But no portraiture will be attempted, on the
present occasion, of the public or private life
of Charles J. McDonald. We shall merely
glance at some of his prominent viitucs ; and
remark on one or (wo features of his character.
Need I speak of his inflexible integrity—that
moral and physical courage which were the
prominent traits of h'.s character? Such was
his bravery, that like Luther when summoned
to the Diet of Worms, he would fearlessly re
pair to die post of duty, though he knew there
wore as many devils there as tiles on tho
houses. His conduct while Governor, during
the vears 1841 and 1812, affords striking
proofs of this assertion.
As a pleader and conveyancer, ho gave evi
dence of h's profound knowledge of the law ;
and although not a brilliant orator, few have
been more successful or distinguished in the
profession.
But I leave details to a more enduring rec
ord of the? deceased. His name and fame arc
indelibly in 'i ibe-1 on the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial departments of the State Govern
ment.
Life’s work being done and well done —this
great and good man was gathered to his Fath
ers full of years and fill, of honors. I would
not vio'ate the delicacy which good breeding
imposes, by invading the sam-tity of social in
tercourse. I shall be pardoned, I trust, for
'fating that, in obedience to his earnest invita
tion, 1 paid a visit to my late associate not
long before his d-nnisc. It was difficult to re
alize that the f- .‘blc and attenuated frame be
fore me, was all that was left of that once mus
cular man who would have won prizes at the
Olympic games as a wrestler; and who was a
straucer to disease til! within the last few
years of Lis life. His wife, a fine specimen of
a Viiginian lady, was then on her sick bed,
never t> rise again. Upon hearing of hc r
dea’.h, I addreb-- I a note of sympathy and
c )ii lolence to my grief stricken friend, in which
I expr--.'' 1 the hop ■ that “ the self-sacrificing
>p:rit of HL loved and lost companion had al
r< a-1 vi 1 ■ *’-c 1 its appiopi-atc >CN*ai-l honor,
"lorv, and immortality at the right hand of
God.” To which he re-ponded in language the
most tender and touching—concluding with
thc-e words: “ If a soul was ever prepared for
’pea :e an 1 bliss in that hallowed mansion of
i( -t, li -rs was. May Go-1 enable inc to bear my
bereavement, and prepare me to meet her in
His Holy Habitation.’’
I trust that his prayer was answered, and
that Lis spirit, redeemed fio:n death, has found
his friend again within the arms of God !

hanged—under the protection of cannons aud
