BY EX GOVERNOR B. F. FKRKT. [CONTINUED FROMJUtBT WEEK.] J061AU J. KVAN8. Forty fiv? year* ago, ray acpiantance with Judge-Evans com nenced.k I was an applicant for idmiesion to .th^.Bar?- and bo was no of the examining committee, ogetfier with Chancellor Harper tad Governor Miller. They were ill then practicing lawyers, but inmediately afterwards transfer* ed to high posts of honor. It was tot costomary in those days for ho applicants to be previously ex* itnined by committee, or have lie slightest intimation as to tlie ; mestions to be propounded. But lie manner of Judge Evans in con Incting the examination was so ;ind and gentle, so courteous and 1 nstructive, that he completely con onr hearts. The students in 1 ited him and other members ot 1 he committee to a Sump tons din < ler, that evening, at the United J hates Hotel. They accepted the i uvitation and we had a most pleos,nt, agreeable and joyous party. ' n the course of conversation, one < f the students remarked to the 1 udge, that from his manner of impounding tho questions, the lass had come to the conclusion : liat ho must have been, at some j oriod of 1>?? life, a school-master. < le replied'thaf our conclusion was < oriect, for he had once taught i chnol, but was not aware that the i edagogne was so visible in his mii-icr on iu snow K6CII in ine | rescnce of their Honors, Judges ' fott, Johnson and Colcock, who I lien composed the Court of Ap- 1 eals. i At that time. Judge Evans was i olicitorof the Eastern Circuit?an t flice which he had fi I led for many i cars with great ability ; and to- t ether with Governor Miller, stood ] re'eminent as a lawyer in that i ection of the State. I had the ? leasure of hearing iiim once only t 1 the Court of Appeals before his i lection to the Bench. He argued is case with great learning and I bility, and spoke with great fluen- ' y and animation. He was evi 1 enflv excited, but his manner was I arnest, sincere and m jgt digniti- I d. He felt the truth of the ]*>so i ous he took in his argument; but 1 liere was no effo t at display?no i hetorical flourishes. Every word i >ld and was to the point, llis I in gnu go was chaste and beantitul, 1 rente' ber his style of speaking I eminded me, at the time, of my i evered preceptor in the law, udge Earle. i Judge Evans was the model of Circuit Judge, ile never had a i upcrior in South Carolina. His niud and his character were judiial. lie thought as a Judge, he i poke as a Judge, and acted as a udge. On the Bench 1 knew hiiu roll, practiced before him long, nd had tho honor of his conti i Ibnce and intimacy. In a letter iow before mo he says: "Up to lie last moment when it was prac- > icable, it wad my intention to have ;oue to Columbia, bnt I had so nany things to do, prepartory to uch a long absence, that 1 had inally to (rive it tip. Nothing ould have gratified me mora than I o see (as I would have done there) o many dear friends, and among ho rest, none inore valued than i ouraclf." lie was well read and aariied in his profession. His i liud and memory were strongly nbned with the great principles f the common law, and he was < articularly familiar with all our < jgi?lative enactments and the do- I isions of our courts, lie was en- ; owed by nature with a clear head, . well-balanced mind, and an un: I rring judgment. He was always I ool, calru. and d^pas^^nato, and i ever at fault on the Bench. He f ever took sides in aay case, as a t udge, but always weighed lite < wtiuiony carefully, and submit t id it most impartially to the jury. 1 hey could see him holding the 1 :a!e* of iualice with a firm, ateariv < ? '??J . and, and balancing the Mm 1 itfi a firmness and impartiality t liieli showed biu) far above the > ?adnw of passion or jH-ejudice.? I i his ch&rjfeA on tl^a law, lie was c lain, jKJsifive, direct and decided, c nimnest ennnintf in A politician * jry otten Avoids responsibility, t iu iKjuie^iaiev nonesi ignorance in t Judgo iydooes the same coarse, t iidge Kv&ns never felt this virtu- f is necessity, tie wm a most pa- ? ant Jndge, a great virtne In ft t idge, next to those ot honesty f id learning, tie was a|ways kind I id courteous to the Bar, and yet o v Jndgo ever had more dignify ot * aynor, commanded more respect o Court, or dispatched rnoro I omptly the bnsinoss of the Court. 'J The prince of practical wisdom I and good sense was Judge Evans ] on the Bench and off the Bene!), i He had no vanity to hear himself | talk to the Bar and thd jury, and al i ways knowing just what was neces* ] sary to be said,so much he said and i no mote. His rulings ot points 1 made during the progress of a case, I were decisions, wot dissertations. ' In fifteen mintttes he won Id pre*' I sent the whole case to the jury. I more easily comprehended than if t he had charged thetn two hours; 1 Whilst engaged in a celebrated i case in Washington, which occu> < pied the District Conrt five or six I V i _ * ^ * weens, ouage .Evans said to me, u I lay a wager thai I can try your case with a South Carolina jury and Bar in three days." In the Appeal Court, I cannot speak of Judge Evans in the conBnltation room ; but I feel well asBiired that his brethren will award him there, at the Bar have done on the Circuit, the highest honors. I knew him only in the Appeal Court through' the opinions he de livered, and which are reported in our decisions of cases. IIie style of writing was eminently judicial, close, concise ni.d neat. He made no unnecessary display of learning in his opinions. lie decided the points of the case without any die sertation on general principles or collateral issues not involved in the case. As a companion, Judge Evans was always social, pleasant and igreCable. He possessed great good humor and cheerfulness of disposition. I do not remember aver to have 6een him depressed 3ad or melancholy. lie enjoyed fin anecdote or witticism, and would laugh most heartily over a good joke. lie always conversed well, and made himself interesting to his friends. lie gave liie.u information without lectures, and never tried to impress the cotnpa ny with his superiority, lie desired no monopoly in the conversation. but talked and listened as seemed most agreeable to those present. He had a warm heurt, And loved his friends, but hated no nne. He abhorred vice and de jpiaed vicious habits, wherever | and whenever he met them. , Judge Evans was a graduate of 1 the South Carolina College, and j when admitted to the Bar, his t whole patrimony had been exhaus , ted in his education, save one f body servant. But he died pos- | ie66ed of a very large fortm e in lands and negroes, which he had ( made bv his profession and plant- j ing. lie jiever speculated, and <had tho greatest contempt for c money lenders and usurers. He t thought the practice begat an insensibility to human suffering, and roblied the heart ??t all the finer and nobler sensibilities of our nature lie was an excellent planter, systematic, prudent and success ful. lie was kind to bis slaves, administered to their comforts, and made them happy. In return, they were loyal, obedient ami faithful, and loved him as a master. Whilst Judge Evans was a wise statesman ami a pure patriot, he was no politician and had no relish tor jxilities. Once only >ho consented to aorve in the Legislature, and that was just as he was starting in life. He had been bronght up in tho States1 Rights school of politics, under the lead of Governor Williams and Judge Smith, of South Carolina, and W m. H. Crawford, of Georgia. This threw him in opposition to Mr. Calhoun and his school of national politics. When the NulliflCRtjbn controversy sprang up in South Carolina, Judge Evans was oil the Hunch.? I remember a lung and interesting | conversation with him at that time ? an that euhjeet. lie then had !m , uiiwgi rings and donbte as to the \ propriety nnd constitutionality of . Nullification. He said, however, ] that he should advise his friends fl to go for a Convention of the State, f \s it was an qn ward step in onr re a iistAlice to an unjust and Aggros* hve'tentt'i 4?-was nofr-in hw-tra> n tire lo W a partisan ; he wa9 es ^ lentialiy conservative in ail tilings, [lo frequently said to me in his ? ettero and conversation, that he ft 'earid he was too much of an old j, bgy for the times. lie never f( vas a disnnionist. at heart, and al- (j vays Jookfed forward to that possi- J ''liiy'ftBf. ft* 'intr 'if ifrilr' ^ iftlainities whi^h could befall our j wintry, In a letter to we, dated . \pril 14, 1854, he says : "1 love I L ITu-#. ? * - - ? ne union, ana nope it will he per* L~ wtiial; but at the same time, 1 f ure onr little 8tate. as I know you e lo, ai d wflf stand by its rights * then iuvacled, with my last ' ireath.

In that Donvention he mdde a happy ipeech, which was well received, ind has been recently cotnplitnen:ed and refert-edto. In 1852, Judge Ev&hs eTcc:ed to the Senafb ot the United States. I had tjie hohor of first mggesting his name publicly. It Was acftinat liia wfal?oo on/1 O -yw?t ? M ?.,M. jreat reluctance bo consented to (Orve. lie 6aid to .mo inost posiively, "I will not bo a candidate." , [ replied, we do not wish you to 30 a candidate, but only say you will servo if elected. Before the election came on, 1 called to ?ee ?;m in Columbia, and told bim I iad one in^re request to make, and hat was not to speak of the election. He then expressed a desire to see Jol. Ohesnut elected, who was in he field as a candidate, with Ool. Pickens, Col. Preston, and. I think, Mr. Rhett. After several ballotings had taken place, the friends >f the othor candidates, or nf hem at least, went -to Judge Evans to know his wishes. He replied that he had lett the whole natter in my hands, and had Dotting to say about it. When Judge Evaus first took lis seat iu the Congress of the [Jnited States, on the 4th day of March, 1853, I was in the city of Washington, and know that he nade, during that short extra siting of the Senate, a most favora>le impression on his compeers ind brother Senators. He seem;d better pleased with his new portion than ite had anticipated.? The day after bis arrival a little neident occurred which pleased lim. He received a note from the vife a distinguished citizen of Washington, stating that she had list ascertained that the newly ilected Senator frotn South Carolila was her old school mate and riend, Josiah J. Evans, whom she I ? -- - * ? ?' iu(i noi seen lor forty or titty years. >lie and her husband united in taking the pleasure of his com pa>y at dinner with them the next lav. In the Senate, Judge Evans lid not aspire to be a leader in delate. He said to ine in a letter, luring the Kansas discussion of 1854 : " Our members have borne hemselves gallantly on the Nenaska bill. Butler's speech was liming the best, and Brooks and Keitt have both made excellent ipeeches. I was strongly tempted o say something, but 1 could add lothing to the argument, and lam oo old to make a speech for Buncombe. If I can be of any ase lere, it will bo by a patient invesigation of the matters that come lufore Congress, and to present ho results more in a judicial than t forensic style, as I have lately lone on a bill which I had present id from the Committee on Revoutionary Claims, for the final adustment of the claims of the <>ili :ers of the Revolution. In this vay I hope to acquire 6ome influjnce. and to bo of use to uiy counry for the few years that arc left ne ot life.11 Judge Evans did acquire, in an eminent degree, the steein and respect of the Senate. Even his bitter political opponents tad the highest regard for hiin as i man and a Senator. This was rmnitested in the Senate, lie was, ndced, as one of the Black Reuiblicans said, worthy or being a toman Senator, for he possessed ill the high virtues of a Roman? irnmess, patriotism and incorruptible integrity. His speech in reply to Snm ' er, and in vindication of South Jaioiina and her history and intitutions, wa a noble production, worthy of the bast days of Rome nd her most finished orntors, T Ave no hesitation in sayin?, that >r style, temper, nutter and artiaic finish, it is the beet speech ever lade in the Senate ot the United taces on the slavery question.? 1 it)mediately after he delivered it, 1 e wrote me that he had not need ' no-half of the material which he 1 repared for the occasion, out that o was two boars on his feet?longr than he had ever been since he < ad left the Bar?and was cons- I letely exhausted. 1 hare under- I ood that this speech was ruore I enermlly circulated at the North, ? nd did the South more good, than ... A L!A - - \j ?povcu wiiiou ???r oaine from . Southern Senator. It \va? the , >eech of an orator, statesman and ? fitriot. ( In January 1857, Judge Evans wrote me freely and confidentially oa tbe Kansas question. lie said : u I a?n heartily siok of tbe subject, aad cfere not if Kansas were snnk in ftbe bottomless oosan. In fighting fter tbe Leoofbpton Constitution we are fighting for a shadow, so far as afty ultimate good can come to tbe South; but we are contending for a principle of vital importance. I nave long since gfren up all hopes of Kansas be - -i O.-.- W r?. . . uviuiu|( m oiatv oifti?. ' XU6 I&81 letter I received from him was dated the third day of March, 1858, and in that letter lie said he thAhked bis God that that day twelve months would be liia last day the Senate of the United 8tatee. Judge Evan* continued to feel, after he waa elected to the Senate and bad to resign his seat as a member of the Board of Trustees, a deep interest in the South Garoli na College. In hia letters to me, he frequently spoke of his Alma Mater, and inquired how the College was going on. He had a great horror of a public debt, and thought we were pushing too far onr railroad system. He doubted the policy and practicability of some of our projects. He repudiated Walker and the a bole system of filibustering, as contrary to national honor and faith, as well as j#iitt?i<j uuiiebiy. Tbero were fow.tnen wliom I ever saw on whose judgment I could sooner rely than that ot Judge Evans. The State suffered a great lose in bia death, and one which she felt most sensibly. He was a man of judgment and wisdom, fltmnu. ana honesty; and such men are always to be preferred in the councils of the nation, to the man of genius, wbose life too often is nothing bnt a brilliant halo of errors, destructive to the best interests of his country.
