SEMI-WEEKLYWOCATE. MARIETTA,GEORGIA. ■ sxaiC ♦ • 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 ! 'fhc Richin ,nd Examiner says that Li " in was inaugurated as John Brown was hanged—under the protection of cannons aud b ivoncts. NO k
