Judge Wardlaw was a representa- j ive gentleman of the old South Carolina; a good and true man? ot perfect, but having all the cle-'. aents to make*a useful citizen and great Judge. lie was a graduate f the South Carolina College, <i .1 -i xi._ I'ltll ine Honors 01 uiu lusucuuun ]; ras always deeply interested, in its, nccess, and for many years one. f the most industrious, punctual j nd zealous members of the Board| if Trustees. lie guarded his alma 'Hilcr with jealous and affectiontecare, and 110 graduate mourned j icr decline with more sincere and1 lerfect sorrow. I knew liim long nd well, and can speak of his high one and character. As a lawyer, Judge "Wardlaw ras industrious, pains-taking, caricst, threw his whole soul into1, t-lic nfie. took no undue advantage, but icvcr failed to avail himself of any nistake that the opposite counsel night make. He argued his case veil, because he regarded thor-! >ugh preparation a conscientious; July, and was very ' ambitious of professional distinction. His ar-, jumentswerc learned and instrucive; in manner calm,. in style! jlassic, sometime rising to high j sloquence, but lie rarely permitted j ixcitement to warm him up ito "rr oiiftft ' lin ?r>l rlrfrn Ai V'lV/Vj A-IW uwiMyv' sxhibited that passionate eloquence >f which ho was capable, and which yould ,have made lilm .a' great ,oraxjrh'ad he'indulged it.. (IIe seemed afraid to encourage his enthusiasm, lest he ftiglit.make ?ome erT or of judgment or drop a..link .in ;he logical chain of his argument. Unlike 'most' public speakers,' he iid liot lash himself,into excitement, but alw$v$-rooke under a surUi^H-is.Reading Was not confined ftp. lie.pj-fli#6ek>n, raud rjiis mind was stored withfwbfclnssid beaUtie; of ancient and modern.nldtdratbib Wherever, lie wentrit inteijpsted^hin to learn the l6cal history, wliid his retentive, rpernory ai)d ^ee'i observation enabled him" to 'usi with effect, when' thi ; occaslofi*' re quired. Kind and gcnialuu.'Aaiepo sition, loving tho. society..;o{Vhii friends and associates, and enjoy ing their company aiid,amusements vet he never nermifted the.ird&ae tires of life to interfei'6' \vifV its duties. In this, he was the dfrea opposite of ' his distiifgriisliet [brother, the Chancellor, wh0$'otfk' ed with great power and.; ability when he did work; but did not* g{ to his task with that alacrity,' wi'tl] that love of labor, that -gda'd b1 duty, .which seemed to drivc-thc Judge, and enabled him to resial the temptations una allurements, ol society. Of course, the practicc qj such a lawyer was large and lucrative, and with a fauie co-extensivc with the State, he was a power in the Appeal Court. His speeches were close, logical, full of learning and authority; perhaps, he refined too much, but when the argument closed, it was exhausted, and if he failed to convince the court, he certainly impressed it with the conviction that no more could be said on that subicct. And it was sen _ - 1/ V_? erally admitted that it could not be better said. I do not think Judge Ward law had much taste for politics. The law was his mistress, but he served many years in the Legislature, where he carried the same conscientious conviction of duty. In fact, duty was the controlling power of his life. He never hesitated to march right forward in its straight line, no matter who or what opposed. Loving the approbation of. his fellow-citizens, lie took pains to secure their support, but was 110 demagogue, never uttered a word to lower the standard of public virtue, and never sacrificed his personal independence or conviction of right to secure a vote. As a legislator, liis career was without a spot or blemishhe worked for the good of the State, and introduced and carricd through many measures which stand as monuments of his public gpirit^ wisdom and patriotism. Ilcre, as at the bar, lie impressed himself on iiis associates and compeers, and, when the vacancy Occurred, was elevated to the dignity of the Speaker's chair. Ifi this high office, he exliibif6fl th<5* qurffitifes fbl justice, impartiality, courtesy and lirmn<^s, and ihe House.. con^in^d to elect liirn to preside oVer..theu,) deliberations, withoiit opposition, until he was'elected to-the dignity* of. the bench; While ^Spealiery with lii.s accustomed industry and devotion to duty, lie revi4e^?;q^cj perfected that admirable syftejn-of rules which continued.to reguljifd the deliberations of the* riots'stf fi Representatives, until the1 polfti'eftf revolution that, has compelled^# change not;only in"our ^representH? tion, but in our very habit, of thought. * * As a Judge tie was eminent. Ilis training at the bar, in t!yrlVeg: islature, in the Speaker's cfi&ffc seemed to educate and fit him fcfr this high distinction. His learning: industry, practice and experience, eminently .qualified him to discharge, without reproach, with great satisfaction to the profession and credit to himself, the arduous duties of a Circuit and Appeal Judge. This is neither the time nor the place to enlarge on his eminence as a Judge, his record is written in the reports illumined I. ? /"i ffM/wl A?n 11 ? r* r/MAo A A'P T lief i An UY Ills VYiaillMll) UIO OL'IIOV U1 and liis learning.

In those reports will be found a wealth of labor, a sincerity of purpose, a purity ot intention, and a dignity of thought that has seldom been equaled and never surpassed in judicial history. There stands his monument erected by his own hand, a perpetual memorial of his virtue, integrity and learning.

But thi^ didn't often happen after he gained experience on the bench, antj wnen it aia, 11 was not nueuued 4o rebuke or mortify, but to urge the business of the court. 13e that as it may, however, when he carhe to charge the jury or to de1 cide the point of law, there was such a clearness of expression, suoii a sense of justice pervading ev.^ry sentence that he uttered, such manifest'purpose to do right and administer the law impartially, that all feelings of resentment vanished. besides, may it please your Honor,*'there is another consideration not.so well understood by members of/the bar," but which I. suspect I'rtni" TTmmr l\orrin? tr> nrvnrppintn. , -rr It was the liabit of every department of the State Government, to conduct the most rigid economy, and every officer was held to the strictest 1 accountability.

Therefore,' | when the Judge commenced his j circuit, if, 011 examination, he found the dockets crowded, lie was : compelled to urge business, and iu-so j urging Judge AVardlaw sometimes j.fcfiui a'peremptoriness of expression o rmoitrtroiiatfaYif mhiinfti) + ' f\riZ ; tK|l/.VPUITVllVWVi IMlin U V? j vt.fc.
