PROCEEDINGS OP THE MACON BAR IN RELA
TION TO THE DEATH OP HON. HOWELL
COBB.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 30,1868.
According to previous notice, Judge
Cole suspended tlie regular proceedings of
the Superior Court at the hour of 10
o’clock, A. M., to enable Hon. E. A. Jsis
bet, Chairman, to introduce appropriate
resolutions in memory of Honorable
Howell Cobb. Before introducing the
resolutions, Judge Nisbet said :
May it please your honor, it has been
iny duty, during a long professional
career, to pay tribute to the memory of
many deceased members of the bar, but
on uo occasion have I been called upon
more peculiar and sadder, than the pres
ent.
There are circumstances in relation to
the death of (leu. Cobb which distinguish
it from any other within my experience.
His distinction as a politician, both before
and since the war, Iris high grade as a law
yer, his amiable character and numerous
social virtues, and the place and manney
of his death—ali combine to increase the
solemnities of this occasion. He died
Huddenly in the city of New York—the
great theatre of events, of observation and
excitement, with the eyes of the nation
upon the melancholy event; but, sir, inas
much as it has been my duty as Chairman
of the committee, to sketch in outline the
prominent traits of iris character, I for
bear, and shall content myself with read
ing the report of the committee, and
adding tha' his life is a brilliant example
for imitation, and liis death an illustration
of liie beautiful teachings of the British
poet:
“The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power.
And all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave,
Await alike th’ inevitable hour,
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.” -
I beg leave, in behalf of the committee,
to report as follows:
REPORT.
The Committee appointed to prepare a
suitable tribute to the memory of the late
General Cobb, beg leave to submit tlie fol
lowing :
General Howell Cobb, being on a visitto
the North, with his wife and daughter,
died in (lie city of New York ou the 9th
day of October last, at the age of fifty-three
years. He was seized suddenly, was pros
trated, in a moment of time, and expired
in a few minutes thereafter. A man of vig
orous constitution, and, until very recent
ly, in the enjoyment of uninterrupted
health, no one hail a fairer promise of
longlife; and surrounded with numerous
and devoted friends, and blessed with
the sweetest and richest endearments
of home and family—of a life of unmin
gled happiness. He was called hence
without premonition. This providence, to
our limited vision, looks strange; but wc
well know that it is not for us to sit in judg
ment upon the inscrutable events of the Di
vine Government. We believe that the
all-wise and all-merciful Kuler ordereth
all tilings well, and, therefore, it is our
duty aud privilege to acquiesce without a
murmur iu His dispensatious.. “Justice
and Judgment are the habitation of Thy
Throne; Mercy aud Truth shall go before
Thy Face.” When the telegraph announ
ced the death of our brother, thousands of
people all over this broad land, and we
among the uumber, felt that they had lost
a love 1 and cherished personal friend.
The country was stricken with awe and
treuiulousuess. Sadness, and sorrow,aud
deep regrets fell upon all who knew him.
We may not assume to speak of thoeff.<cls
of their great bereavement upon the fam
ily of the deceased. They have solved
the mystery of unutterable grief. Aud
yet, as wo shall see, even they arc not left
to mouru us those who have no hope. It
is a melancholy pleasure for us to honor
the name and memory of Gen. Cobb.
Alas! how meluucboly! Still it is a
pleasure. It is indeed pleasaut to be en-'
aided to place upoa the records of tiiis
Court, our unanimous, cordial, unqualified
testimony, to his genius and 1 aiming, his
pro essional honor, his statesmanship, his
patriotism, his kindness of heart, aud his
unrivalled social attractiveness. We lay
this ottering upon his tomb. It may be
humble, but it expresses our affection and
our respect for his character,as eioqoeutly
as would a monument carved iu marble
and emblazoned with gold.
Gen Cobh was a native of Georgia, born
of highly respectable and pious parents,
iu the couuty of Jefferson. He was grad
uated at the University of Georgia, during
the Presidency of Dr. Church, iu the class
of 1534. Immediately after his gradua
tion lie commenced the study of law, un
der the direction of Gen. Hardin, a most
excellent gentleman of that iik, and when
admitted, at au early age, settled in the
town of Athens. Clarke county. Very
soou he acquired a good practice, both in
his own county and iu tiie circuit. For
several years lie held the ollice of Solicitor
General of tbe Western Circuit, discharg
ing Us duties etliciently—zealous to con
vict tbe guilty', but forbeariug towards the
innocent. .
Neither the sovereignty of the Slate nor
the citizen suffered wrougat his hands. A
brilliant career awaited him. With a
"commanding peraou, tine voice, conciliat
ing address, industry, thorough furniture,
and ardent, self-reliant and ambitious, he
would have speedily reached the highest
level of professional distinction. But a
change came over the spirit of his dream,
and like most young men of that day who
were couscious of intellectual power, he
became enamoured of political life, and
his aspirations in that direction were so
promptly realized that his profession be
came au object of secondary importance.
After the fall of the Confederate Gov
ernment he settled iu the city of Macon,
and resumed the practice. Hissueee9s was
equal te his most sanguine expectations;
clients multiplied, and at his death he
stood In the front rank Os the Georgia Ba C
Upon an occasion so solemn as this, it be
comes us to say uothiug for effect and to
indulge in no exaggeration ; and we may',
therefore, hope that our estimate of Gen.
Cobb, professionally and otherwise, will
be taken as true and candid. He was not,
in legal argument, a dealer on dull, dusty
cases, with little or no application to the
point at issue. He was master of the
principles of our noble science, and his
acute discrimination and clear, vigorous
judgment enabled hiyn to apply them suc
cessfu I ly. Nor did lie rely upon them and
his native originating power alone, but
Was wont to arm himself with authority,
that latest authority which ruled the prin
ciple and most perspicuously illustrated
it, His manner of argumentation was log
ical, without the stiff, cold, formality of
scholasticism. Indeed, be was a natural
logician—he knew well how to assume
premises and draw conclusions, without
the aid of the syHngism or the tricks of
the sophist. Before the Court he had great
power of condensation, and never weak
ened his cause fey repetition or profuse
elaboration. He was happy in the hand
ling of facts before the jury, and skillful,
though fair, in his statement of then)—-
sustto his adversary, earnest and persua
sive, not uu frequently wielding at wilt
both the convictions and the passions of
tiie panel. In this connection, it may be
proper to say that his eloquence found its
happiest display before large popular as
semblies. He was peculiarly at home at
the hustings—there he achieved his most
splendid triumphs, there he became regal.
His clarion voice reached the ear of a
great multitude, and his honest, amiable
character reached their hearts.
Gen. Cobb's political career was not only
successful, but exceedingly brilliant. He
rose rapidly from one position to another,
until he became a recognized leader of the
great Democratic party of tlie American
Union. This is not the occasion, nor ours
the duty, to trace his ascending course.
That responsible task will devolve upon
tlie historian or biographer. Suffice it
now to say that, before the war, he repre
sented Iris District in Congress for a num
ber of years; was Speaker of the House of
Representatives; Governor of Georgia; and
Secretary of the Treasury during Mr.
s ßuelianan’s administration. His political
record may be said to be voluminous. In
it there is not to be found a blot or a blur.
Amidst all the violence-of party warfare
no one of his political opponents, however
unscrupulous, was ever known to utter a
word impugning his integrity as an officer,
or his honor as a gentleman. The House
of Representatives of the United States is
a theatre upon whose boards demagogues
play for popularity—partisans for pow
er-genius and eloquence for renown,
and patriots for peace, order and good
government. It is, therefore, often dis-j
orderly, aud frequently tumultuous.
To preside over such a body with accepta-!
bility, requires rare endowments—a tbor- !
ougii knowledge of men—qui .-knees of j
perception—patience self-control—firm
ness—a clear sense of justice—tact aud im- !
partiality. Especially is it necessary that
the officer command the respect of the j
House. That is, in fact, the chief element ;
of his authority. All these qualities our ;
iVieud possessed in an eminent degree;!
and hence it was that no Speaker since tlie
time of Mr. Clay, discharged the duties of
the chair witli more marked efficiency
Ilian did lie. When the State seceded,
having contributed as much to that result!
as any oilier citizen, lie gave himself un-!
conditionally to tlie cause of the South. !
Ife yielded to it all the honors which be
bad won under tlie Union, aud cousecra
ted to its success Iris name, his estate, and !
iris life. He was elected a member of the j
Provisional Congress, and when it met j
was chosen its presiding officer. Nobody |
ever convened at the South was more able |
or inure patriotic than this Congress, j
Party prepossessions, committals, animos
ities aad creeds had uo place, in the de
liberations of that august assembly. They
could not live in an atmosphere charged
with the sublime responsibilities of a stu
pendous revolution. A constitution was
passed upon the basis of the principles of
1776. which was an improvement, as
many believe, upon the Federal Constitu
ty>n—laws were passed and officers chosen
to administer them. The civil revolution
was in a few weeks accomplished, and
the new government moved forward
with harmonious grandeur unparalleled
in the annals of empire. To these ends
no member contributed m re than Gen.
Cobb. His experience, profound knowl
edge of constitutional law, his devotion
to constitutional liberty, and sound judg
ment, were ail made available in that
great crisis. He was also a member of
the permanent Confederate Congress ; but
when the war began to rage, with its ter
rific foreshadowing of slaughter, poverty
and the.scaffold, lie retired from the halls of
legislation and joined the army; ris
ing rapidly to the grade of Major Gen
eral In the military service he was
ever prudent, obedient to rightful au
thority, gallant and energetic. When
the Confederate Government —after sac
rifices imi iscri liable, aud the display
of heroism uuimagined in the wildest
dream of romauce—fell, he couueded the
fact of its extinction by overwhelming
force, and acquiesced in the necessity of
the surrender of its armies. Not only so,
but he advised and urged the return of the
Southern States to their former place in
the Union. Uncompiainingly, and with
quiet dignity, he retired to the walks of
private life. We looked to him, in these
latter-day troubles aud iu the eontingen
cies of the future, as one of our wisest,
safest advisors. We did welt hope that
iie would live to be, as he ever had been,
the champion of law aud liberty. But he
has passed “from gloom to glory,” aud
his country has nothing left but the her
itage of hts fame and virtues.
Turn we now to contemplate him 1q bis
private character. A mere outline aketeh
is all that we are at liberty to appropriate
to a theme to which a volume might well
be devoted. Its necessary meagreoess,
however, does not make it otherwise than
grateful. It is sometimes the case that
eminent men, especially in polities! life,
draw around them friends, from fear, or
favor, or policy. Governor Cobb's friends
beearuesuch from affection. It is believed
that he left more personal friends than
any man who has lived and died in the
State. These admired him for bis ability,
but loved lrim for the kindness, generosity
and nobility of his nature. They were
attracted by his stern sense of justiee—by
his benevolence —bis charity and his
genial companionship. Had he been less
distinguished, he would not have been
less beloved. Political antagonism en
gendered co bitterness iu his soul; rivalry
created ho hatred, aud disappointment
did uot lessen his cheerfulness. Public
1 life did not cool the warmth of his heart,
and high position did not weaken in him
the obligation of social duties. Nor was
he capricious iu his likings, but true aud
stauiTch, through evil and through good
reports. Tire lewiy and the lofty alike, if
meritorious, shared in his good offices aud
elicited his sympathy.
In the relations of husband, parent,
brother and companion, be was a model
man. His itttercotfrse'With hist family
was governed, by the law of love.
As its head, he ruled with prudence ami
authority, but it was the authority of supe
rior wisdom, united with forbearance, ten
derness and assiduous attention. His wife
and children alone know, and they only
can tell, how sweet were the charities of
tbeir home.
The soldiers of his command during the
war testify to his considerate attention.
The poor, the suffering and dying; were
always the objects of his care and kind
ness. It has been represented by oue oc
cupying a high place, recently, that he
visited, upon a sick aud dying Federal
prisoner, extreme and wanton cruelty.
.This charge has been conclusively dis
proved, but ff|t were not, we who knew
him well, could not—would not believe
it. It is contradicted by the whole tenor
of bis life, and by the unbroken course of
our* experience of bis character. And,
standing as vre do, a t the brink of bh‘re>
oeutly opened grave, we take the responsi
bility of saying, that the conduct attribu
ted to him w’as utterly impossible.
Perhaps in nothing was the goodness of
bis heart more beautifully manifested,
than in his benevolent attention to de
pendant*. borne of the old and faithful
servants, for example, ofj.be family. These
he provided for and protected. Destitution
and want always drew from lrim sympa
thy and supplies.
It remains to speak of Iris religious
character. He never made a public pro
fession of religion,, but it is known to his
intimate friends that he had made up his
mind to unite with tlie Baptist church,
the church of his parents and of his wife,
upon his return this fail to Macon. Iu the
judgment of those friends, he died a
Christian. And this is tlie hope that we
trust, even now, mitigates tlie sorrow of
his mourning family and relations, and
will, ere long, reconcile them to his loss.
He was a praying man for fifteen years
before iris death, according to his own ac
count, but was harrassed with doubts
about the divinity of the .Saviour—that is,
as to the Godhead dwelling in the hu
manity of Christ. He could not solve the
mystery of Godliness, God manifest in the
flesh, which the .‘icriptures themselves
pronounce great. Unable to believe with
out a satisfactory comprehension of this
fundamental truth of our holy religion,
he did not, until lately, enjoy a sensible
realization of s ardon and peace. This
kind of struggle of a strong mind to sub
ject Revelation to the authority of reason
is not uncommon. No doubt it is hard for
one accustomed to think, analyze and un
derstand, to become as a little child—a
learner at the foot of the cross. But sub
ordinating iris pride of intellect and pride
of life to a simple effort of faith—and in
spired by the Holy Spirit—a careful study
of the Scriptures resulted in a sense of ac
ceptance with God. He became the re
cipient of that purest; best, and most sub
lime blessing ever v juehsafed to humanity
—regeneration. And thus annointed,
sanctified and accepted, his spirit entered
rest —that rest which shall endure through
eternal ages.
“ O gracious God! not gainless is our loss;
A glorious sunbeam glides thy sternest frown ;
And while his country stagers with the cross,
He rises with the crown.”
Resolved, That this bar, his country and
his family, have sustained a great bereave
ment in the death of Gen. Howell Cobb ;
that he was endeared to us by his manly,
generous, cordial professional companion
ship and association; to his country by
his sacrifices and services, and to liis fami
ly by his tender affection, bis considerate
providence and wise counsels; that we
deplore that one so dear to us and so full
of the promise of future usefulness should
be called hence in tiie full maturity of all
his powers; satisfied, however, that our
loss is his great gain, we do not question
the wisdom aud meicy of God iu transfer
ring his spirit trom earth to heaven.
Resolved, That our respectful sympathy
and condolence are hereby tendered to his
family.
Resolved, That, the members of this Bar
will wear crape on the left arm, for the
term of thirty days, as a testimonial of
our respect for his character, and that tiie
Clerk of this Court furnish we<>|ty of this
report to bis family.

REMARKS OF HON. WASHINGTON POE.
May it please your Honor, in rising to
second tiie resolutions just ottered, were I
to be governed by tbe dictates of my judg
ment, I should not attempt to add one
word to the appropriate, just and almost
exhausting preamble submitted by the
Honorable Chairman of the Committee
But when I look upon that vacant chair
and that unoccupied desk, and remember
that he, who so recently possessed them,
bad granted me a measure of his friend
ship, tny heart presents its claim, and I
am induced to say a word or two, if only
to serve as a means of laying my tribute
of respect and affection on the iionored
tomb of our departed brother.
Although tbe preamble has been so ex
tensive in its range and has grouped to
gether almost every elemeut composing
the noble character of obr friend; yet
there is one characteristic, aud that an
important one, which has been omitted.
The preamble informs us that in the opeu
iug of the professional career of Governor
Cobb he was appointed Solicitor General
of Ills judicial circuit, and very soou there
after he became the .Representative of his
district in the Congress of the United
States, and from the floor was elevated to
the Speaker’s chair of that august body,
where he presided with credit to himself
and almost unpar dieted acceptance to bis
fellow citizens. His next elevation was to
the Executive Chair of his native State,
and then to a prominent place in the
Cabinet of FresideaUJßuehaiiau. With ail
these honors resting upon him, after being
the peer and counsellor of the last of the
Statesmen, .he retires into private fife and
engage in the practice of tbe Daw,- totally
devoid of all pretence of presumption, and
demeaning himself with t he modesty of the
most unofficial member in our midst, and
requiring only truth and integrity as the
guaranty of his friendship and confidence.
Sir. I consider this trait in the character
of Governor Cobb as one of the brightest
jewels in the crown of lii3 earthly glory.
But in view of all this success aad re
nown, may not instruction, if not admo
nition, be deduced from it? We, my
brethren ot the Bar, are now ardently
engaged in the duties of oar laborious
profession, some for wealth, some for
honor, some for otfiice and some for
fame; but let us remember and be ad
monished by this striking example, that
all “await alike the .inevitable hour. The
paths of glory lead but to the grave.”
Wtfat a long line of this Brotherhood
has passed the dark river before us, and
we are rapidly following in their foot
steps. There are Lumpkin aud McDon
ald, and Strong and King, and the Tracy ’a,
and bfffc whose friendship and!
sweet converse we have so of'en enjoyed. '
“ Around os each dissevered chain,
“ In shiniug ruin lies,
“ And human hands can ne’er again
“ Unite those broken ties.” \
Our departed brother left his home with i
a part of n?s family, apparently Tn health,
on a visit to the great Commercial Metrop- ;
olis of this great and almost - boundless
country, ami whilst in New York, aud in
the very midst of social intercour-e, his
last summonscame to leave this world with
all its cares, anxitiec and engagements
By the aid of that profound wisd »m with
which lie waseo largely endowed, he was
not found uuprt*pared for trrifr great final
trial; but with perfect resignation to tlie
call, and as oue tired with the labors of the
day disrobes himself for a night's repose,
he calmly laid off his earthly habiliments,
being fully convinced that there was pre
pared for him a robe of righteousness at
God’s right hand, and which gii shall re
ceive who like him in liuunity and faith
accept the imputed righteousness of an
other. -i-
I second tlie resolutions.
REMARKS OF COL. SAMUEL HALL.
May it please your Honor, whilst I do
not arrogate to übyseTf the ability “to
pain’ the lily or grid refined gold,” ray
feelings prompt me to lay an humble offer
ifeg upon the tomb of one of the wiseataud
best IHen If has been my forthne tb know.
“ Friend of man, and friend of truth,
The prop of age and guide of youth;
Few hearts like his with virtue warmed,
Few heads with knowledge so informed.”
To hold up his example to the yoornger
members of the profession which he loved
aod adorned—to invite them to tread the
path which led him to honor, usefulnsss
and distinction, Ami to ftbntenTplittft Ms
illustrious career, and
“ Gazcrupon Jhe giN&i;
Where neither guilty glory shines,
Nor despicable state.” * *
From his earliest mauhood Geu. Cobb
was marked for distinction.' His eleva
tion to the high places of -the Republic
was almost simultaneous jwith.his entry
into public life. At thirty years of age he
was Speaker of the popular branch of Con
gress—a position that had before been oc
cupied by Stevenson, Po k.Hpjifer, Ma
con, and other distinguished statesmen ;
but none of them discharged Us duties
witii more signal ability than our departed
friend. While lie was Speaker, I visited
Washington City, and in company with
a friend paid my respects to Mr. Clay, who
asked me if I had been to tlie House of
Representatives, and added that, as a
Georgian, I would feel my pride glow
upon contemplating the iirilUajat career
of mv fellow countryman, (tlie Speaker,)
who lmd shed more dignity and lustre
upon that station than any one since the
days of Judge Cheves, of South Carolina.
He successively filled witli honor and use
fulness the Executive chair of the State,
and the office of Secretary of Sie Treasury
during mo3t of the administration of Mr.
Buchanan.
Yet although his career a a Statesman
was eminently successful, he deeply re
gretted that more of his time had not been
devoted to the study of his profession, and
that he had not engaged more extensively
iu its practice. Men are not lawyers by
intuition, and can only become so by long
and assiduous study; but with an accu
rate knowledge of the general principles
of tlie science, a mind like hiseoyid easily
make the details from which these con
clusions were deduced. Show him tiie
magazine and he would select the weapon
tlie occasion required, aud wield it with a
giant’s strength and a master’s skill.
What seemed to cost him iittie effort was
only to lie obtained by persons less gifted
after laborious application and painful vig
ils. This spot is suggestive of instances
of the truth of this remark. In an inter
esting ease that occurred during the pres
ent year, the’principles involved had l> ; ea
discussed by one of the most gifted advo
cates oi theHtate, wit h an ability and co
piousness that seemed to exhaust toe sub
ject; ail appeared to tiiintf that nothtiV"
was left for Guv. Cobb to say. But-in this
anticipation they were mistaken : his clear
discrimination, powerful analysis, sound
judgment and unsurpassed power of rea
soning presented the cause in an entirely
new aud original light, aud caused all to
feel, as Justice Butler did, upon listening
to the luminous judgments of Lord Mans
field, that iris “mind was lost iu admira
tion at the stretch and strength.of the ini
man nnderstabdsug.”’ &gftrii. I have seen
him v.cior over the combined legal talent
of tlie (State, and I hope I do no injustice
to the just claims of the distinguished
Judges who presided in the case.iuvolviug
the constitutionality of the stay law of
1860, when I declare it as my conviction
that most of their inspiration and reason ng
were derived from his truly great argu
ment on that occasion. His line of thought
was singularly co incident witii that of the
Supreme Court of the United States, when
treating lately the same subject. He had
never seen the case referred to, nor had tiie
Judges of that Court the benefit of his
masterly argument and sound constitu
tional view’s.
His return to the bar after the close of
tiie war may, without much violence to
language, be said to have been the com
mencement of his professional life in
earnest. The vocation was highly agree
able to iiim aud besought by every means
iu his power to elevate its character aud
augment its usefulness. He pursued it
with ardor and enthusiasm, and made the
thoughts of its great masters a part of his
own intellectual being. Justiceas admin
istered by tlie Courts he ever regarded as
the safeguard of society and tiie highest
interest of the State. It was this that kept
the body politicin harmony—“the highest
were not exempt from its requirements,
aud the least felt its care.” Very foreign
to his nature was everything like indi
rection —his mind instinctively repelled
ali finesse and sophistry—he sought truth
and when he found it he gave it the
homage of his great and pure heart.
From the constant aadiryiug labors of
iris profession he found lime to iook after
tiie educational and beuevoleut interests
of the community. Few are aware of the
exteut of Iris benefactions, not only in the
way of alms, but of kiud offices and val
uable advice. He boasted not himself of
those deeds, —he blew uo trumpet, before
him —his right hand knew not what bis
left hand did. “He did good by stealth,
aud blushed to own it fame.” All ages,
seies and conditions who enjoyed" tbe
privilege of his acquaintance felt an affec
tionate attachment to him. Not only the
refined aud enlightened denizens of the
city, but the simple dwellers in remote
hamlets, upon the aaouuoemeut of the
great bereavement the country had sus
tained —tbe very children mourned him as
they would a lost father—his during al
ways madetiiem glad, aud they Witnessed
his departure with feelings of regret—often
with tears. He needs no monument to
perpetuate his tame—his life is his mon
ument—his cenrotaph is in the hearts of
his countrymen. Tiie plaudits of his co
temporaries wiil be caught up and pro
longed by future generations, and will
swell in volume and earnestness so long
as virtue has a worshipper, as genius is
admired, and true chivalry aud nobleness
of character are appreciated.
His mind was as broad ai the Universe,
and be could not give up to sect or party
what Iris maker meant for mankind. He
eotild not be contracted into the narrow
confines of tbe iutolerantand bigoted—liis
minmeree was with the world, and it
was lmpo3sibie to dwarf him to tlia di
mensions of a hahadasher of wares.
On the day previous to life death I re
ceived from him a letter, communicating
his improved health, and saying that he
would meet me at his home on the loth
day of the month. But the enjoyment we
anticipated from again taking him by the
hand, listening to his wise conversation
aud hearing his lively sallies was destined
never to be realized. The places, which
once knew him were desti ued heucefoth
to know him no more forever. He was
indeed brought home, to rest in the bo
sotn of a mother who bad cherished him,
and whom iu his turn he had honored by
making her name ioved and respected in
every eivilized country on tbe globe. He
was laid by the side of those who were
kindred spirits iu life—Bumpkin, Dough
erty, Deloney, And hts own Illustrious
brother, Gen. T. R. R. Cobb. The moul
dering ruins surrounding the mausoleum
of the mighty dead are emblamatic of
their earthly career, while the beautiful
Oco lee which fiows hard by their last
earthly resting place, and sings their per
petual requiem; now smiling in the sun
shine, now stricken by the storm, will
murmur on a housand years, and flow as
now It flows, is typical of their belter aud
immortal part.
The summons though sudden did not
find Gen. Cobb unprepared. Iu the very
act of con fessing his fiord and M aster toone
of his chosen embassadors, he was caught
up and translated to the t<osom of his
Father aud Iris God, and the angels iu
Heaven we doubt not were in full sympa
thy with the ecstaeies of those who had
gone before,at re-u n iting with the loved one
from whom they had been separated by the
narrow bounds between time and eternity.
Alt that is left us now is to cherish bis
memory, and follow his example—to Emu
late his virtues and make timely prepara
tion for the great ordeal which be has tri
umphantly passed, so that when the dread

REMARKS OF HON. JA3. JACKSOX.
May it please your honor, if the spirits of those
that are gone hence, are permitted to view the
oarth they lived upon, and to be cognizant of what
occurs here, I am sure that the spirit of my kins
man, friend and partner is gratified at what has
transpired here to-day.
May it please your Honor, the esteem in which
he held you as the presiding officer of this court, I
know, and also tlie respect in which he held the
venerable and distinguished chairman of the com
mittee who has presented the resolutions, and the
no less venerable and honorable gentleman' who
seconded the resolutions; and I know that no
tribute of affection and of respect to his memory,
not even if it proceeded from those amongst whom
he lived the greater part of Ills life, would have
gratified him more than this testimonial from this
court and this bar.
May it please your Honor, Gen. Cobb had in his
heart the esprit da corps and love of his profession,
and love of the brotherhood. Whenever he met a
lawyer, the younger he was, the more lie feft like
throwing his great armaronnd him and lifting him
up, aud I know that for every member of this bar,
he entertained kind feelings, and I believe that
every member of this bar loved him; and that they
are expressing their true feelings in participating
in this ceremony. Whether the dead know what
transpires here or not, certain it is if a living man
can personate the dead, and speak in his behalf, I
of all men have the right to speak in the name of
Howell Cobb.
Sir, when I was a boy, my father, embarrassed
by pecuniary difficulties, was forced to sell his res
idence in Athens and remove to the country, and
from that time the house of Col. John A. Cobb, the
father of Howell Cobb, became my iiome during
my scholastic term. Howell Cobb was four years
my senior, and that room in the house familiarly
known to the servant* as the boys’ room, he and
myself occupied together; and although that man
sion has loug since been tom down, and its site is
now in the possession of strangers, that room is
still vividly before me, with the bed in which he
lay, and that which I occupied, and, may it please
y our honor, though but u boy, he gave to me his con
fidence then, and throngh the long series of years
that have followed, lie never withdrew it. When
but a boy I leaned upon him because lie was strong
er physically, mentally aud morally than I was, and
when the news came of liis death, I felt myself
leaning upon him still. I loved him, may it please
your honor, I loved him more than I loved any
man. I loved him and watehed his brilliant career
with a satisfaction equal to what would have in
spired ine had my ambition been home on the same
successful tide.
But it is not my purpose now to speak of tlie
great powers of his intellect; it is not my purpose
to trace his career as a statesman, wlw at tlie age
of twenty-six was sleeted to Congress, and at
Lhe age of thirty was the foremost man in the
House of Representatives and Speaker of that
House; nor is it my purpose to speak of him to
this court and this bar as the leader of that House;
nor to speak of Him as the Governor of the State of
Georgia; nor as Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States, nor as the President of the Provis
ional Congress which met in Montgomery; nor of
his services in that which is now known as the
“Lost Cause.” I want to talk to you fora moment
of the inner man—of that spark of divinity which
comes down from God and makes the man—the
soul. Jle was the best man I ever knew. Not a
ragged urchin in this community, or any other
ever asked him for alms that they were not given ;
not a widow or any suffering specimen of humanity
ever approached Howell Cobb without finding in
him a friend.
He did not do things by halves. I remember to
have been told by the Rev. Mr. Warren, the Baptist,
minister of this city, that soon after tlie close of
the war lie received a note from Mrs. Cobb, in
behalf of herself and her husband, begging him to
accept an accompanying donation. Mrs. Cobb was
n >t at that time a member of his church, her mem
bership being at Athens, but she had enjoyed tlie
benefit of liis ministry during her residence in
Macon. He opened tlie enclosure, and found that
it contained a greenback note for fs<)o. Another
incident occurs to my mind: duriug tlie war as a
body of Confederate soldiers were passing the
home of Bishop Pierce, in Hancock couuty, the
door of his smokehouse was thrown open and
everything he had to live apon was swept away.
The news was communicated to Gen Cobb by my
father-in-law, Mr. Mitchell, and straightway tlie
General sent two six-mule wagons loaded with
bacon and stores, to supply the deficiency in the
Bishop’s larder. When I went to Athens to attend
the funeral of Geu. Cobb, I found that at oue of
tlie stores there, dnring the year, orders to the
amount of SI 000 had seen given by him to the
widows and orphans of that place.
He was the most liberal hearted, the most widely
hospitable man, I ever saw. His house was stretch
ed to embrace all. 1 have known—l think I speak
within the bounds of truth —of fifty persons at his
house in Macon, at one time. This is the man of
whom I speak to you to-day. It is not for his
strength of intellect—for Satan himself possesses
this, aud his capacity may equal that of the arch
angel liimself— but it is for this love and fellowship
for man, that we love him. We loved Howell Cobb
because he loved us. This is the principle which
underlies the affection of the wife; and that which
we feel for Christ. “We love Him because he first
loved us.” The friends of Ilowell Cobb loved him,
because lie loved them.
I read law in liis office, and aa soon as I was ad
mitted to the bar, he took me in as a partner, and
insisted on sharing with me the salary as well as
tlie perquisites of the office of Solicitor Gen
eral, which he then held. I havs now in my pos
session a letter from General Cobb to bis factors,
authorizing me to draw without limit what money
I needed during his absence. He knew my pecu
niary condition, and gave me this letter iu full
confidence that I would not abuse it; but I could
have drawn on the authority of that letter all he
had in that house. How much did 1 love this man I
How much did I respect him! Uow much did I
weep over his grave! I know nothing, may it
please your Honor, to wliich I can liken my love for
him, save that which Jonathan bore to David, and
I have no doubt that were a crown coming to me as
it was to Jonathan, I would have placed it on his
brow as the one purer- and worthier to wear
it I have the great satisfaction of knowing that
whilst he knew I was a poor, frail, weak, sinful,
erring mau, he hod confidence in my integrity as a
Christian. I have the great satisfaction of know
ing that immediateiy ou our coming to Macon to
practice law, before my family bad removed here
from Milledgeville, or his from Athens, whilst we
occupied his house alone, he opened his heart to
me upon the great subject of religion. I remem
ber on the stoop of that house ou Walnut street,
while he did not know that wliich influenced him,
I knew it was the work of tbe Spirit from on High.
He spoke of his aged father and mother, and bis
sisters and brothers, who had all been members of
somo Christian Church, and himself the eldest
born, Still oat, and then it was that he revealed
to me the great secret that he could hot com
prehend th at God ever was in man.. This is
a mystery whic none of us can comprehend, save
by simple, childlike faith. Soon after this, Win. 11.
Hull, familiarly known as Hope Hull, who had
formerly, like myself, been bis partner in the law,
cainc on a visit to us. I knew Mr. Hull had read
every skeptical book wliich had been written; as
for myself, I had read none of them. I asked him
if he had ever conversed with Gen. Cobb upon the
subject of religion. He said be had not. I told
him that it wan, when uot engaged in business, our
constant topic, and that to Gen JCobb, it was tlie
most interesting subjecC of conversation; and
after tetting Mm of the difficulties in the way
of Gen. Coob, asked him to call on him and
talk to him on the subject. He replied that he
believed he knew the book which would convince
him, and went to Mr. Burke’s bookstore and pur
chased it and gave it to Gen. Cobb. A Tew days
afterwards Gen. Cobb remarked to me that that
book was the greatest book he had ever read; that
it had removed all his doubts in regard to the
Divinity of Christ. I told Mr. Warren of this,
who sought an interview with him at his house,
and becoming perfectly satisfied of his true con
version, observed as he wa3 about to depart, that
they should give thanks to God for the great
change which he had experienced. They both
fell upon their knees, and Mr. Warren subse
quently stated to me, lie never heard a heartier
Amen I than that which came from the heart
of General Cobb. I know, may it please your
honor, that after thi* he loved tbe Saviour; I kuow
he loved'those he thought lived nearest to Jesus;
I know that he sent money by me to old brother
Allen T urner, a man whom he scarcely knew by
sight, for no other reason than that he knew him
to be an old worn out pilgrim of the cross; and I
know lie ioved the fellowship oi the saint*. And
I know, as well as I know anything, that God Al
mighty, in great mercy had prepared him for that
treat change which took place in the city of New
ork. This providence was all arranged by that
being “who doeth all tilings well.” Ho r. • 1 told
me before he left home, th*t hewn.- w ■ .ng to
giie up all he had on earth t. .• the
.Jydth, and that it was his intention, >n his
fcturn to Macon to unite himself v. :U the
Baptist Church. My brother Hall wa, right; I
thkre was nothing sectarian about him. }, would I
hafre joined that church because liis o:d father
and mother and the wife whom lie loved were
members of it; but he would have love your
Honor, an Episcopalian; these gentlemen Presby
terian*; he would have loved me aud otheio Metti |
odists, and he Would imve lbvcH him, who ver lie 1
might be, who he thought imitated the ereat ex
ample of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, may it please yonr Honor, In the name of
that widowed heart in Athens, which will grieve ;
for him so long as that heart is Hesh ; in the name !
of those children of liis who love him with tlie
same love; in the name of the friends who love

rash HwGbrt. CfeblS dHte, iris moat fit that
the tributes which are due to his character
and worth should be paid by those who
have been his cotemporaries during the
greater portion of his life; but there are
some phases of his character which can be
sSspwj rssr ctr snfcrss i
earnest promptings of my heart. Al
though it was my mournful privilege to |
see him laid in the grave, it is difficult to i
realize that Gen. Cobb is dead, Such a
j Very short time ago he was witli us, and
,of us, iu outward appearance the picture
of robust health, the idol us hie family, j
the prid4<#his freneft, and: th® life aud
soul of the social circle ; and uofr that wo
say h#is no more, it is difficult to realize
that so much of life is dead ; that his eye,
’so beaming with liveliest emotions of love
and sympathy lias forever lost its lustre;
’(hat his voice, whose thrilliug tones of,
'eloquenceare. have so often listened to iu
this chamber, and which was ever ready to '
enliven, assist and direct, has been husbed
iu death; and that iris hand, lately so
j warm in friendship’s clasp, is now cold ,
and Ijfeies.s clay. Tome, as to tlie other
! members of this Bar, Geu. Cobb’s loss is a
j personal affliction. Through a period of
twelve years by uu numbered kindnesses
he taught me to know him as my triend,
[and unconsciously 1 grew to love him better
than a friend. And what I say now will be
'endorsed by all tlie young men who were
so fortunate as to enjoy iris acquaintance.
:He was truly the youog man’s friend. He
| possessed, eminently, the faculty of en
dearing himself to young men witli whom
he came in contact. Tins was not oaing
to effort upon his part, with a design to
iucrease iris popularity, but liis large, |
warm and peculiarly sympathetic heart
naturally led him to understand aud ap- i
predate the many difficulties and trials
which young men encounter in the be
ginning of life, especially the beginning
of professional life. These he was ever
ready to assist with counsel, encourage
ment and advice, and also with pecuniary
aid if needed. With these kind odices,
in the performance of which be never
wearied, he “grappled them to Ins soul
with hooks of steel.” Not only so: for
this man of mature age, giant intellect
and vast experience,' wiio had “sounded
all the depths of greatness,” w«» not
only the faithful friend, but al-o tlie
genial, familiar companion to the young
man inexperienced and compare*! with
jhim of lit tie knowledge. In the h> arts of
[thousands of young men all over th s laud
he lia» raised "a monument more listing
than brass,” and when this aud tin next
generation shall have followed him tn the
grave, thestorvof his excellent woi It will
in the Basons of the fireside be told to our
children’s children.
Allusions have been made in the rep ni
of tlie Committee to the happiit* s oi Iris
family relations. This is sacred gumnd,
upon which we may not 'intrude i m> far
or tread too lightly. But to those of us
who were permitted to see the lu*uut’ ot
those relations, its memory will u ver
fade. His faitli in the virtue and jv.rity
of woman, and Iris knightly rtsj . i and
veneration for her person and ei-.- ani* r,
bore their legitimist ©JVuiis in bis devotion
and tenderness to iris wife and rian-hters.
To Iris grown sons he was at once the de
voted father and genial companion, in
tlie company of I.is iittie children, iris
great heart overflowed with genuine hap
piness, and among them he was a rain a
child, ever tlie most boisterous and
gleeful.
Iu the virtue of hospitality he was pre
eminent ; not from policy, nn f >r tin-grat
ification of pride in the display oTwealtb,
but with his big,generous nature, the nmst
generous I ever knew, lie loved to have
hiii Jrieudg around him, and share with
them the ben4|fe had. His house wus ever
oped trithe friend and the stranger, and
amid tlie bounteous profusion which ever
covered his generous board, the etnefest
pleasures which the guest experienced
were tlie freedom and sim erity *>f the
genial hospitality which ho dispensed.
About General Cobb there was nothing
small; he was great in ah things. His na
ture wus opeu, frank, generous hilarious,
enthusiastic, affectionate, tender, sympa
thetic, sincere. Add Jo I Iris a peerless
intellect, a brilliant wit, which never lies
itated, failed or carelessly wounded, joined
to a happy address which ever found Us
way by the shortest. route to every
heart, and we have a faint oulliue of this
splendid, magnificent man. Asa lawyer,
the report of the Committee has assigned
him to his appropriate position - in tiie
front lank of the profession. In tlie field
of oratory lie was indeed regal. He swept
with master hand ali the chords of hu
man passion, aud the strains of his elo
quence fell upon and enveloped iris heart:is
as with (he weird sped of an incantation.
Truly, “upon his lips had the mvatic bee
dropped the honey of persuaauui.
Buthe lias gone ! How painful thutuur
heartstrings should be so violently torn
from the object of our love! ilow terrible
that this grand man, lowering iu hi*
strength should so suddenly full po we rises
and lifeless before tiie unexpected stroke
of death ? It is sad to see tlie decayed and
lifeless trunk, swaying, its bareuud leafless
arms in in the blast, fail oefore lhe fury of
the storm. But when we see some great
oak, a giant atnoug its fellows, its huge
arms and ’thick foliage indicating its
strength aud vigor, it* green leaves but
tinged with the hues of coining Mutumu,
wiien we see thi* pride of the forest, when
ail is calm aud still, wiien no breeze ruffles
its foliage, fail with resounding crash to
ihe earth, we are struck dumb witii awe.
Gen. Cobb occupied so much space in
men’s hearts And before the public eye,
that bis sudden taking away can but leave
a great void. We ali are painfully con
scious that this void eannvt be satisfacto
rily filled by Another. Only himself could
doit. Tlie devoted, tender husband and
father the fast, unfailing friend, the gen
erous and gefflai compan fen, »e hospita
ble and benevolent citizen, the briliiaut
orator, the great statesman, has gone from
amongtis, and we ne’er shall Bee his like
again.
The report of the Committee was then
unanimously.adopted, after which Judge
Cole said:
Gentlemen: l fully eudorse the eloqueut
and merited resolutions justread, arid unite
with tiie bar in rendering this just tribute
to tbe memory of the late Gov. Cobb; aud
