I was a goovl deal in hits J company afterwards, up to the ex- 1 titration of his Gubernatorial term. '< lie told .me a great many inci* . dents of his life and early history. J AY hen he became a candidate 1 fo?* the Legislature, he was a very ( young man, and not innch known 1 in his District, to the great mass 1 of vuter#j In those days* there 1 was but one box in the whole Drs 1 trict? ,nud all voted at the Court 5 House. lie was returning to the village ot Union on tire morning 1 of the election, having been out ' eanvasshtg the District, when he J fgll in company witii one or two ! hundred voters, all on horse back, i riding in military order to tlie Court House, for the purpose ot depositing their votes. He rode 1 up by the side of the Captain of " the company, who told him. that < Ahoy Imd made up their ticker, ami < his name was not on it. This was 1 rather cold comfort, and Johnson knew it would be decisive of the election. He, however, bore it calmly, and continued his eoiiver- 1 sation for fcortiC miles with the Captain* /Just before reaching the village, they called a halt for the purpose ot taking a drink, most of them having a chunk bottle of whisky in their over-coat pockets. After a little chat, all being in i ? o.- :>-* ^ uu mitiiui, kue v^iipium proposed that tliey should change their tick et, strike off the name of one candidate, and put that of Johnson's in its plactf. The nVotion was car rfed and the change c ade This secured his election, and but. for this lucky accident-, he would have been defeated. lie was elected Solicitor of his circuit during this Legislative term. VY hilst he was Solicitor, there was a vacancy on the bench, and Col onel Joseph Guist was a candidate to fill the vacancy, with every prospect of being elected. Jobnson hud-taken a very active part tor him, and was very desirous of get ting him out of his way as n practicing lawyer,. Col. Guist was an old lawyer, and had a very exten Bive atid-lucrative p\d?tiee in Johnson's Cfi;eu?t'.. ,-The ijfght Irefiue the elfcfttion of Judge by tl>e Legi^lature. Col. Guist came to John son's room in Columbia, and told Liiu that lie-had declined being a candidate for Judoe. This Jolin sou protested against most vcho incntly, and -said it would not be permitted. Tiler? could bo n'6 doubt of his-: election, and hi* < friends were very anxious tW see iiim on the bench, Guist was, at that ritrfe. a toadin? m nniVirti- At" I the Legislature from the upper court try and very popular. But he said to'Johneon hii? unalterable do tdt'ifchiifclipt} Xtw m.ado, and that be would not be a candidate, or ac cept the office it elected. Johnson said to him'your friends will be Kjeut ly disappointed, for there U no other lawyer in the upper conn try, on whom they will concentrate their votes. Gmst aaid to hiui, you arc. mistaken, they will nit vote for y611. Johnson was thunder .struck/ at tjifc announce fnent, and lao^i.fd at the incredi* ura 'tOfta W hift being oleotod ft Judge, for such an aspiration had uuvw cj-waetf'bip.umid. .lie was a very yocrogman, had not had an exttMjhivo piftctiou at tile bar, and was delighted with the olfie'e of bo bcitojv But Guiat.put biinwin nomination the next fnorning and had turn elected on the fit at ballot. So much astonishad u a* Johnson, when they brought hitfi t1f0 news of his"election.that he could not re 5V* r.i8'V& ee^tv buttofldng up Ins co?*t aud,. eayiogi " Judge JjUWMQP'' /. x> ? Wl'KU, SonrE established, and the Ap , peal Court in law and Equity established, wi,tk three Judges, Nott??JohasQn and Colcock, were sleeted Appeal Judges.- m I have iheady statod. i DeSauseuro and , l'boiupsou were elected- Chancel1 _ . uf J &L *1 n . w % n>inf ?du uitoiiw nqtmy judges, VYatiee, James and Gaillard, together with the law judges, Gantt, Richardson and Iluger, were placed on circuit duty. For hen >r twelve years, ATtidge Johnson remained1 in tW Appeal Court, ftnd until it'wfta nbctfslied! Tne decision oi that Court, then composed bf JohiVson, O'Neall and Harper, bh tti'e test oatli, and nga nst its constitutionality. wns its death warrant. All the Judgeq in law and Equity were then required to meet n one court aftyr their circuits .vcrc over, and have. Appeals, both n law and Equity. This mob ionrt, as it was called, did not last eng., Separate courts wero estab ished as formerly^ for hearing Ap poals in law in Equity, and Judge Johnson wa6 elecied one of the Chancellors. From the Chancery bench, in his old age, lie was electid Governor of the State. The act >f tiie Legislature requiring the Governor to rc^iow the whole miltia of the State' during his term of iffice, was not complied with, by His Excellency Governor Johnson, n consequence of his age and in iibility tv ride on horse hack. This was a pageant productive of no good, except it afforded the people in opportunity of seeing tlie Gov3i;nor% and hear liiin address the regiments on the militia system and ihe politics oi the country.? Governor Johnson was a very large man, and I should suppose rather a clumsy rider in his prime. Judge Johnson made it a rule lever to stay at a lawyer's house whilst on the circuit, lie said parties in court would always have a suspicion of partiality where the presiding Judge was entertained by a member of the bar. There never was any one who passed through a lung lite, with less suspicion on his fairness, integrity !tnd uprightness, than Governor Johnson. And he had learning und talent9, as I once heard Col. Ben. F: Hunt say in the Legislature, to fill, with great ahilitv, anv and every position in which his State saw proper to place him. A gentleman once told mo that Judge Johnson, iu his confidential intercourse with liiui, said in early life, he was ^desperately in love with a young lady who rejected his addresses, being then poor and obscure. She afterwards married a man who did noi have the prosperity and success which attended his career through life, but that be always felt a deep interest in her situation, even in his old a?/e. as Ins . - - o"i tirst love. Whilst lie was a Circuit 'Judge, there was a case for trial before him, in which a brotlteri^-l^w was a party, The Judge said to o|ie of the lawyers concern cd, that lie would not try the case, for he had 6uch a had opinion of his brother-in-law, that he was afraid he could not do him justice. There were lew men in South Carolina, who hud more personal friends than Governor Jul insert, at every period ot his life. He had no enemies. All respected hitn, oven in the times ot highest politi cal excitement. 1 remember hearing Col, David Jv McCord, tho HerCest ami bitterest of KullfHers' >. . > r, ; . >?lin i.r.i, I ? express this opniion, whilst lie was denouncing, in the Legislature, in terms of great bitterness, the leading members of the Union party fudge Jojiuson was so amiable, so free tV.om .gil malevolence, aud so frank end respectful tuwaids his opponents, that none could dislike hitn. When he? was elected an Appeal Judge, and had to hear cases from Chancery. h? said to _ ^ 7 Chancellor Thompson, that lie had never had any Chancery practice, and would have to commence its study. With great simplicity ho jn^infed of the Chancellor how long ho supposed it would take him to become hwuiliar with the great principles of wuuity jurisprudence.x Ttie Chancellor, who loved to ho sarcastic and witty, replied that it his inind was as huge as his b<>dj, he could do so in a very short lime. The opinions ot the Court of three, as reported in Bailey and Hill, will show that Judge Johncirti did bccohie fantiliar with thd principles At'ul practice of Equity, and his decrees alter he became Gh^cwllor, were able, JiuA, wtdl fi>?itderevW I < IUc LoofiUNUliU MCXS WKIUt.J t>, 7 ? 4* jd rbtra *?* I ? tdl In tho great snow storm, a man .... r? r ?
