Mist the delivery of opinions in cases argued

blc Eugeni as A. Nisbet.
Tpon the reassembling of Conrt at 3 o'clock
, * Colonel Washington Poe, Chairman of

The committee appointed at the lost session
if this Conrt to prepare a suitable memorial,
■ommemorative of tbo death of . lion. Eugenios
L Nisbet, beg leave to submit the following
with i* ever hovering around onr dwellings,

ihastly visage when our hearts beat strong with

,JjtM. lie is the faithful and relentless execn-
mer of the decree whlob consigns ail Adam’s

ijcrls of our love; whencho strikes down the
eatand the good, those of whom States and
.immunities are justly proud, then in truth do
mentation and mourning follow in his foot-
Uv placing His inexorable grasp on the per-
»n of Judge Nisbet, He has brought sore be-
Mvement to a large and loving family, deprived
Jijj bar of an honored member, this conrt of a
Lrmo counsellor, the State of a noble and gifted
Lm, and the Church of Christ of one of its
Lightent ornaments and most solid supports.
|'c« men in these latter days have commanded
9 much of the public admiration and confidence.
8e graced every position which he occupied,
tail tbongh dead, the mepior^of his virtues will
Ere in tlio hearts of thousands amongst whom
he moved, like a bright planet shining with nn-
limmed splendor, until he disappeared to take
[in place in the constellations of Heaven.
J Judge Nisbet's public career is well known to
nte people of Georgia. He was a native of
Khia State, having been born in Greone county
Kn the 7th day of December, in the year 1803.
lie was a son of Dr, James Nisbet, a gentleman
Kf high character, one of the framers of the
BoiMtitntion of 1790, and for a number of years
|i member of the Board of Trustees of the
State University at Athens. His first instroc-
Kun was received in the sohool of Rev. I’ran-
|i< Camming, D. D., at Greensboro. When
young he entered the Freshmen class in
>llego at Columbia, S. O. Ho was soon
|rtn|ferred to the'University at Athens, and
Ins a member of tho first class of gradnates
feeder tbo Presidency of . Dr. Moses Waddel,
p.riog off the honors oflffs class. •» -
I Turning his attention to tho law, he com-
prated his studies under Judge Clayton, and
kabatqnmtly boeame n student in the law
school of the celebrated Judge Gould, atLitch-
keld, Conn. Having finished his professional
purac, he returned to Georgia, and at tho ear
ly age of twenty ho was admitted to tho bar by
Jiuthority of a special act of the General As
sembly. * He opened an ofiice at Madison, and
Began the practioe of his profession in partnor-
iip with John W. Campbell, Esq. It was not
ag before his fine intellect nnd well-stored
uiml, oomhined with a remarkable graoe and
wanly of manner and expression, attracted
public attention. He made rapid reputation as
i lawyer and gathered around him a host of ad
mirer* and friends who, when he had scarcely
illumed his majority, held np before him the
during prospeot of political distinction and in-
Idoeed him to represent the oounty of Morgan
|in the Legislature. This was in tbo fall of
IlSSJ. A few months prior to his entrance in-
Itdpublic life, viz: on the 12th of April, 1826,
I he married Miss Amanda Battle, of Hancock
county, an elegant lady who presided with
I queenly dignity over his home, and was his
I lured and honored oompanion until her death
is the month of May, 1865.
Let it be here remarked that Judge Nisbot
was not a professional politician. As much ss
any man we ever knew, ho heartily despisod tho
artfnl duplicity of such a character. The stand-
[ ard of moral rectilijdo by which ho was guided
j in private lifo was not lowered on tho hustings
nor in the halls of legislation. In every walk
of life, ho was tho sarno high-toned, candid,
conicientious man, who loved and defended
truth for its own sake, and who would have suf
fered the loss of *11 things rather than have
done what was mean or dishonorable. He was
* party man, but was never in rineuh'.t. He
wa* too ardent a lover of freedom to allow his
conscience to be bonnd by fetters. The right
of private judgment he priced and preserved as
a priceless heritage. As a consequence, his
course on all publio questions always secured
respect. He served several successive sessions
alternately in the Senate and House, taking an
active part in debate and a leading position in
both bodies. In 1832 ho became a member of
the convention which assembled to consider the
expediency of rednoing the number of Senators
and Representative*, and groatly distinguished
himself by a speech of marked ability and elo
quence. He oontinued to represent Morgan
county in the Legislature until 1837, when he
removed to Meoon and there opened nu office
for the praotico of his profession. Ho was
•ton, however, again called into the publio ser
ies, having been elected in the following year
■ representative from tho State at large-to tho
Congress of the United States. He was re
elected in 1840, but oa account of the condition
°f his private affairs and a growing distate for
political life, he resigned his seat in that body
a 1841.
The position ho tookin Congress was a promi
nent one, and he retired to private life with an
unblemished character and an enviable reputa
tion. Whilst he held political office he was by
no means neglectful of his profession—sucoess
w which was the chief object of his ambition.
“® was a close and discriminating student, and
a master of tho law as a science. His forensic
efforts were remarkably clear and felicitous,
■ndevinoed great research and a thorough ac
quaintance with his case. To the demands of
* 'nrge and increasing practico he devoted him-
®*lf assiduously after his withdrawal from pnb-
lic life, until the Supreme Conrt of Georgia was
or g»nized in 1845, when he was elected one of
t“« Justices of that Court. Ho rat on the Bench
®%ht years—tho compeer of Lumpkin and War
mer. Grand triumvirate! Noble represents
'■res of a noble profession ! The State owes
them a debt of gratitude it can never pay-—the
fiarof Georgia a tribute ot praise which rises
Rot from re'.actant hearts, and to which succes-
generations shall give willing utterance.—
*®4ffs Nisbet’s judicial opinions, embodied in
t-ie first fourteen volumes of the Georgia Re
ports, are models of precision, perspicuity and
‘earning. He was eminently adapted to the
- 1 ■ tie Bench. A lover of justice as well
48 of truth, ho was patient in his investigations
and impartial in h.n judgments. No one ever
empt-cted him of favoritism. Ilia integrity was
panoplied in a Heaven-born purity. He wore
ermine with grace and dignity, and resigned
jt without spot or blemish. In 1 853 he returned
to the Bar and continued, with little interrup
tion, to devote himielI,to the duties of his pro
fession until n few months’befofe his death,
when in full possession of his mental vigor, and
in pursuance of a cherished desire to spend the
evening of his days in quiet and peace, he with
drew from tha active labors of life. He was a
member of the convention which assembled in
January, 1861; and Chairman of the Commit
tee which reported the Ordinance of Secession.
He had been s Union man all his life and very
reluctantly assented to the necessity of such a
step, but with him the path of honor was the
path of duty. He subsequently represented
Georgia in the Provisional Congress of the Con
federate States, and then finally retired from
public life. He was a firm and faithful adherent
of the South throughout the tremendous strug
gle wkicli ensued, and no man lamented more
than ho the surrender of her armies and the
consequent destruction of oonstitutionalliberty.
It remains to speak of Jndge Nisbet as a man
of letters. From early manhood he devoted
much of his leisure to literary pursuits. He
was a man of fine scholarly attainments. He
delighted to contemplate tho beautiful creations
of genius, and to gather the sparkling gems
which master minds had scattered over the field
of thought. With him “a thing of beauty”
was “a joy forever.” He read and relished all
the finest productions of the great and good,
and down to his latest days revelled in the
pleasures which they afforded. His contribn
tions to the enrrent literature of tho day wore
characterized by a classic elegance of style and
a beauty of thought peculiarly his own. He
was held in high esteem by tbo educated men
of his day. For a number of years prior to his
death ho was President of the Board of Trus
tees of- Oglethorpo University, and a trustee
also of tho State University, nt Athens, which
latter institution conferred on him, in tho year
1868, the honoiy degree of MUD.
This sketch would be incomplete, did we not
refer to tho most lovely trait in his character,
to-wit, his piety. For more than forty years ho
was a ruling older in the Presbyterian Church,
and only those who havo served with him in
that office know what a “pillar of strength" ho
was. Ho was not an enthusiast. Ho made no
parade of his religion, bnt he was not ashamed
to testify bis belief in the Gospol of Christ.
His faith was founded on the “Rock of Ages."
It grew brighter and stronger with each revolv
ing day, and now that ho is dead, it casts a halo
of glory around his tomb.
Who can duly ostimato the loss of such a
man? His orrors, whether of head or heart,
were like spots upon tbo sun. They pale into
insignificance before tho radiant lustre of his'
graces and virtues. In his homo, he was not
only a loving and tender parent, bnt a familiar
friend. With! his family, sweet was his con
verse. Respected, honored, Tovod—h® chief
delight was in the the companionship and as
sociations of home. Ob, what a loss his death
has inflicted on tho charmed circle of which he
wan the life and the joy!
He has gone from earth, and we shall sco him
here no more.
Resolved, That in tho death of Judge Nisbet
this Conrt has been deprived of a wise coun
sellor, this Bar of an honored member, and the
Stato of a noble and gifted son.
Resolved, That this Court and Bor deeply
sympathize with tho family of deceased in their
irreparable loss, bnt rejoice that in the life of
Jndge Nisbot thoy have a legacy of ineffable
valuo.
Resolved, That tho Supreme Court be re
quested to have this report and resolutions en
tered on its minntes, and a copy forwarded by
tho Clerk to the family of deceased.
Hon. Jas. Jackson thon addressed the Court
as follows:
May it please your Honors, in the absence of
other members of the committee appointed by
the Conrt at this late session to report upon the
death of Judge Nisbet, I rise to second the reso
lutions just read.
I had not the honor of an intimate acquaint
ance with Jndge Nisbet until the last few years
of his life. When, on tho death of my former
beloved brother, General Cobb, I became as
sociated with him in his practico of tho law, I was
permitted to look into the interior of the man,
and to sco the heart-beat of his sonl; the move
ments, or rather the motive power; of tho inner
life whose reflection alone, often dim and shad
owy, is seen by tho world, and yet that inner
life upon which the Almighty looks, and whioh
makes the man; and of all tho fallen children
of man whom I have known, within the bosom
of none beat a more generous heart or purer
soul than those which animated his delicate
framo.
To pass from boyhood to the grave—to move
in this world of struggle and of sin for sixty-
seven years—to be engaged in struggles for
Legislative and Congressional honors, and to
win them all and wear them all without doing
one single act of which child' or friend need be‘
ashamed—nay more, may it please yonr Hon
ors, without having tho loast'of suspicion or
slander cast upon his honor or honesty or purity,
publio or private, constitutes the highest praiBe,
the noblest eulogium which can bo pronounced
upon man. Whoever heard a whisper against
tho integrity and virtue of this illustrious man?
As Representative in tho General Assembly, as
Representative in Congress, as Judge on this
Bench Id the formative period of our judicial
history, as member of Provisional Congress of
the Confederate States, he was, without fear
and without reprach, a man among men.
I remember well the frequent inquiry made
of me by one of yonr honors, by him who so
long sat with him on tho primitive bench of this
conrt daring his last long sickness. I remember
your Honor’s anxiety about his health,yonr praise
of his integrity, yonr admiration of his cour
age, his virtue, his conservatism, your recogni
tion of tho valne of his learned and laborions
assistance in moulding the scattered and looso
material of Georgia law nnd practice into con
sistency and shape; and I remember how yonr
Honor's messages of kindness were received on
that which ptoved to be his death bed, and how
oordially all that kindness and respect were re
ciprocated by him.
A few years before his death his Alma Mater,
tho University of Georcia, conferred upon him
the highest honor in her gift—the degree of
Doctor of Laws—tho only graduate of the col
lege upon whom she ever conferred that, de
gree, thus placing him highest on that long roll
of all the noble sons she has given to Georgia
and the South.
Judge Nisbet died as he had lived—calmly,
resolutely, foarlossly, beautifully—as one about
to cross a river into a more beautiful laud. Just
as quietly he crossed the river of death. I have
no doubt his dying eyes were blessed with a
vision of that glory land, and that now he enjoys
its full fruition.
Your honors can commend to tha youth of
our profession no nobler example of talents
thoroughly cultivated, character preserved
blameless, religion exemplified in practice and
Torified in a glorious death, than that which our
illustrious brother, the colleague and predeces
sor of yonr Honors on that high bench, exhib
ited in his life and his death.
May we all possess his inner life of graoe
that we may manifest his outward life of honor
and purity, pass as he did the oideal of death;
and enjoy as he does the life everlasting.
I second the resolutions.
Judge Warner spoke to the resolution as fol
lows:
My first acquaintance with Judge Nisbet was
in 1828, when we met as members of the House
of Representatives at Milledgeville, both young
men, buoyant with hope, and ardent, youthful
expectations for the future. Time has since
rolled on, and he has performed his allotted
task; his work is done, and tceU done, his rec
ord la made up, and that record will ever re
main the most enduring monument of lus pri
vate virtues as a Christian gentleman, and of
bis inestimable worih as a public officer. When
this court was organized in 1S45, it was my
good fortune to have been associated with Judge
Nisbet and the late Chief Justice Lumpkin.
The arduous and responsible duty of organizing
the court and putting the judicial machinery
thereof in practical working order, was neces
sarily devolved on the newly appointed judges.
The difficulties incident to msnecessful practi
cal organization of the eourt at that time, can
not Be fully appreciated now, and never will be
definitely known, except to those who were ac
tively engaged in its organization. Judge Nis
bet performed his whole duty, and assumed hi*
full share of the responsibility in the united
effort to make the supreme tribunal of the
State acceptable to the people. It has doubt
less been noticed by the profession that there
were very few dissenting opinions in those
days, and the reason is, that each Jndge felt
himself bound strictly- to adhere to the funda
mental principles of the law, as the same had
existed from the time of Magna Charta, and
embraced in the written constitutions of this
State, and the United States. Deeply impressed
with the fact that the loss of the liberties of a
free people may generally be traced to the first
departure from the fundamental principles of
their government, by those who are invested
with authority to administer and enforce them,
Judge Nisbet was uncommonly sound and
practical, in regard to all questions in which the
fundamental laws of the land were involved,
and his opinion in the case of Wilder vs. Lump-
kin, reported in the 4th Georgia Report, will
be an everlasting monumentof bis learning, abil
ity, integrity, and sound judicial exposition of
tho fundamental law; it is a monument which
in all future time will command tha respect and
admiration of every lawyer who loves and ven
erates his profession.
The salient points in Judge Nisbet’s character
which bo eminently qualified him for Jndge,
wore his high sense of honor, the purity of his
morals, his strong love of justice as regulated
by law, his clear discriminating mind, his firm
ness of purpose, his independence or action
nnder all circumstances in carrying ont the hon
est convictions of his judgment, his thor
ough knowledge of tho great fundamental prin-
ciplesof his profession, and his patient industry
in tho discharge of his publio duty. In paying
this sad tribute to the memory of my honored
and respected friend, I am forcibly reminded
of tho melancholy fact that I am the only sur
vivor of the officers of the Snpreme Court, as
it was originally organized in 1845. What
changes havo been wrought in this tribunal by
the great Reaper of the hnman family! De
voutly thankful to a kind Providence for the
continuance of my health and strength; still
the admonition cannot be disregarded that
the course of human events, that I too
must soon follow my distinguished predeces
sors on this bench to that bourne from whence,
no traveler returns; and my earnest desire and
hope is that when the time for my departure
shall come, that I may be as well prepared to
meet it os they were, and that my judicial re
cord will not be entirely unworthy to be placed
by tho sido of that of my lamented friends, who
have gone before me.
Chief Justice Lochrane thon responded as
follows :
Gentlemen of the Bar : Tho mournful duty is
devolved upon me, as the presiding officer of
this conrt, to respond to the resolutions which
have just been road, paying tribute to the memo
ry of the loved and lamented Eugenius A. Nis
bet. It was my fortune to have known onr dis
tinguished friend while he occupied a seat on
this Bench, and I can recall-the sweet affability
and courtesy which marked his intercourse with
those who then stood as advocates before this
Forum. I can recall him after he left this Bench,
in the conrt room where X have often been as
sociated with him, and can bear testimony to the
patience of his research and the close discrimi
nation of tho legal principles involved in the
various crises with which ho was entrusted. I
can recall the method and symmetry of his ar
gument before the court, and his earnest, forci
ble and eloquent appeals before the jury. He
did not dash as the mountain torrent, rough nnd
impetnous, in the ejaculation of sentences, bnt
the stream of his thoughts flowed calmly and
translucently, reflecting upon its breast what
lay upon its banks. He was no orator, “as
Bratus is,” in the vehement outpourings of pas
sion, and needing tragedy to give effect to his
utterances; but he was an orator whose purity
of diction, ornate expression and statesmanship
of sentiment bore him onward and forward and
upward to the highest regions of thought, and
no matter how long or .how complicated the
question, proposition grew ont of proposition,
and argument was unfolded by argument, so
harmoniously linked with the whole subject that
it became one piece of unwoven thought, which
almost persuaded conviction and carried with it
the attestation.of its own trnth. His style of
oratory was persuasive, and led captive his
hearers by the silver tone and gentle demeanor
with which it was delivered. Few men in ex
terior hnd more of the accomplishments of the
polished rhetorician than he, and few wielded
them with more masterly abilty.
There was no bitterness or acrimony in his
sentiments or speeches. He seldom resortedto
the utterance of satire, and his quiver contain
ed no poisoned arrow with which to wound the
sensibilities of others, even in the ardor of de
bate. To the profession of which he was an
ornament he stands a model for emulation in
the closing of a career in which he was honored
with the highest places without ever having in
vited an ungenerous sentiment to himself or
indulging it to others. His Christain graces
rendered him alike an ornament to society and
to the church, and while unbending in all his
religions convictions, he was no stickler for
forms, but had a heart as open in its forbear
ance and sympathies for the forms and faults of
others as melting charity. His sentiments of
honor wore instructive, and he scarcely ever
found it necessary to reason himself into the
path of duty. * He did right by impulse, for to
do right was the discipline of his life. To his
friends he was genial and confiding, and ever
ready to aid by his counsel those who sought
him for assistance. In his home he was an idol,
for in his sweet companionship the grandeur of
hig affeotions shone ont with increased lustre
and every wish and feeling of his family twined
like tendrils around him. It is not the occa
sion to psy eulogies upon onr deceased friend
and brother, bnt as a member of this court we
may say with pride that his learning and his
ability to be found in the volumes of its reports
aro monuments that will bear his name'down
tho stream of time to distant generations, and
attest tho fidelity with which ho discharged the
important trust reposed in him by the people.
Several of his decisions, without enumeration,
have exhausted the sources of the common law,
from which the great principles of right as a
rule of duty have been deduced, and leave
nothing to add by his successors who will find
in them a rule founded upon principle that will
he as lasting as the memory of their author.
It was his privilege to preside over the first
councils of this Court, to have sat at the same
council table with the-great and good Judge
Lumpkin,and with Jndge Warner, the venerable
survivor of that august organization, to have
carried this Conrt in its early straggles against
the prejudices and dissatisfaction of the people,
to haTC planted it deep in the public confidence,
and to have left it in the pride of his reputation
with the memory of his name and the inspira
tion of his genius to go down to the future.
No judicial officer who filled so conspicuous and
eminent a place, ever left it with more of the
confidence and applause of the people. The
ermine whioh he took off and bequeathed to his
successors was as pure as the unsoiled snow on
Diana's lap.
Wo gather around his memory to-day to pay
tho last tribute which is afforded us by placing
on record onr appreciation of one who when in
life stood first in the ranks of his profession.
In discharging this sacred duty, we are admon
ished of the uncertainty of human life and how
unsubstantial are all the honors in the gift of this
world to bestow; how crowns and sceptres,
principalities and powers, all crumble and go to
nothing at the toneb of death. How the scroll
of life, no matter how dotted with the brilliancy
of achievement, rolls up and withers with the
touch of time! There are no distinctions in
the graves that lie before us. Soon other faces
will fill this hall; our seats will become vacant;
one by one, we all must leave for that bourne
from whence no traveler returns. Let me invoke
the memory of him whose death is the opportu
nity of these proceedings—to impress upon all
to so act their part in life as to be like him pre
pared to wear a deathless crown of immortality.
Let the noble profession, of which we are
members, in its syren sentiments of ambition,
not lead us into temptation, for the honors of
earth in that hour when the night Cometh, are
as unsubstantial as the spirit of a dream walk
ing the chambers of sleep. The honor which
this hour admonishes us all to seek, is that
which does not pale even amid the resplendent
lastres of the Jaspers and Cry soli tea of the new
Jerusalem. This was the honor, this the death
less crown for which otftr lamented brother strove
through life, and which was prepared for him
when he mounted to the height of earthly emi
nence, and looked np and was no more seen.
Let these resolauons be entered on the min
utes of the Court, and these proceedings be
published upon the pages of its reports.
This Court will stand adjourned until to
morrow morning at 10 o’clock.
