WT The Greenville Patriot purposes to give biographical sketches of tlto distinguished wen who were member* of tbe late Convention in Columbia. The following i? a sketch of . k Judge Chaves. He was, perhaps the oldest man in the Convention, and by faV the meat distinguished. In genius and abihty America has produced few such men. Having , commenced the world, witliuut an education, and boon ucUvoly employed profeaaiouahy, in diueally, and iu the latter .pa* of hU life with bta plaariag mterasta, ha may ik# ha** the Isamm* ?a .,i.?cs mtny possess. Ih honesty of purpose and purity ol character, we have never heard Judge Owes doubted. Some twenty years ago, while riding the circuit and rambling over the Districts of Groenville, Laurens and Abbeville,with Judge Iluger, he gavo us the following biographical sketch of Langdon Chevca with whom he had boon very intimate, and whom he dosired, at that time, to see filling, at rfbiue Aituro dav, tlio Prasideucy of the United States. Judge Ohove* was then residing in Pennsylvania. He was born, said Judge Huger, in Abbeville District. His father was a Scotchman and a trader. During the Revolutionary rtruggle he moved to Charleston, and there commenced business first on Sullivan's HI and then in the city. Laugdon was a lad in his shop or store. Ho was nanted after the friend and companion of hiafather,who was also a Scotchman, and for sviuc tipie u citizen of Abbeville District. On passing by the Court House;in Charleston, young Langdon Cheves heard Judge Marshall of South Carolina, then a ineinber of the liar, making a speech, j?crhapN, in soino criminal base. Tin: Judge had a fine stentorian voice, and young Langdon was nttractcd by It to enter the Conrt House and listen to the argument. Immediately ho formed the design of reading law, and the next morning waited on Mr. Maruhall and asked to Vend iu his offioe. He told him who he was, and what his education had been. For many years ha remained at the Bar, without much practice, but ultimately l?ad the most profitable hushuw that any lawyer ever had in South Carolina. When lie left the Rat his nraetice was worth twen ty-thousand dollars ayear! Thin ho gave up to tieft. Robert Y. Hayne, who had toad law with him, and wm always a threat favorite. *. Whilst at the liar, Judge Cbavca wan oTvral iium sleeted ? member of the Legislature, aud no man iu dial body over enjoyed a more commanding influence.? It was, however, the influence alone ol talent ami ability. He never, said Judge linger, associated with Any of the inciuWs. Ho and some other member from Otartealon boards together, and kept aloof from society/ In thoafc days a Ach ion of the Legwiaturu was a continued folic for usual of the members. It wai one of the rules of a mesa that soma meml?r of it should go to b??d drunk every night, and this rule, said Judge Hugcr wm moct sacredly kept and never viola 4M Judge Chcvea devoted htinaelf U the baalnere of the notion, was prepare* 5every question, and heaao hia influence kflht a member of the I^giaiaturejud# I av?? w*a storied Attorney General a thebtatu.

We tliitik there has always beetl on tl part of Judge Cheves for Mr. Clay a big personal regard. Many years ago wo r member hearing a distinguished gentl man s]>eak against Mr. Clay at the su] per table where Judge Cheves was sittinj South Carolina was then in the midst < the Tariff and nullification excitenicnt^m Henry Clay was charged with bavin '* formed a coalition with Adams, for h if own person*! aggrandizement, and tin jf he wa? cowed the scorn of his coui 0 try. *'iJoj"Mid Judge Cheves, Mgiv i the Devil iris duej Clay possesses a spir not likely to cowor wader abt*s*e,n " boarded with Clay several mouths, an y never heard him apeak a harmful word ( 0 anyone."

After. serving in Cot 1 gross for several years t ho was elected - Judge of the Court, of Common Pleas i r South Carolina. J lis opinions as reporl j ed in our books, are all written w ith grea ability and clearness, and had he contuiu ? cd on the Bench he >voaid have made on of the ablest Judgea in the United State* We have heard an accomplished lawye I say, however, that. Chaves was not pro , foundly read iu his profession, ami tha his time at the Jtar was too much tukei t up witli ordinary business for him to do vote much of it to leading and study. Jmlge Chores is now one of the firs writers We have in the State or thc'Uni ted States, and there is nil eloquence it i his style which is rarely met With. But fir many years, owing to his defective ednca tion, the Judge never ventured co w rit* i anything. He has been heard to say thai . when called on to write an obituary no , tioe of a Scotch clergyman .of distinctioi (we believe the Hev. Mr. Buist,) who diet in Charlcaton, he doubted whether he win able to perform, creditably, no small t task ! Let uny one now read his Nash i ville sj>eech, and li<5 iHlt be surprised thai < a man who can write as Judge Che*e> ' doea should ever have doubted hia ability to write. i vr : .*>*' Whilst oh the Bench he waa selected by Mr. Monroe to preside, over the United , States Bank, and uc^gr was a Bank manlllKhl a " ? wc u\?uuy nUapUUP ing'out vials of wrath 011 liis head for hi; ree, judicious and lionfeftt management ol that institution. Judge Cheves mado no reply, and took no notice of the abuse hat was heaped on him, and many Iwlieved lie was insensible thit" " I knew tatter,* said Judge linger, "for although Mr Cheves is the most independent and self willed man I ever knew, yet lie is, at tli* same time, one of the most sensitive mer 1 ever met with." After redeeming tliO old Upitpd State! Hank frenn bankruptcy, nful placing its af fairs on a prosperous basis, Judge Chevei resigned the Presidency of it, and resume* the practice of the law in the city of Phil ndelphin. 11c wns not suceessfbl and so>or retired from the Bar. "Some years nftei he returned to his native State, and devo ted himself to his planting interest.
