Wednesday, Nov. 21, 1883. f-ct llio Slnto its Ofliccrsh It has liccn su.uji'i'stt'il that till' State ftlu.ukl make appropriation ft*r the <lo fcTVO of tftc ele?-tf<Mi <MH<-crs whom the Vnited Stales government is prosecuting l>?r tin* purpose of breaking up Democratic jrovernment, anl of cstablisniu;* neuro rule :?i S?*ui h C-iro|j:n. It serins tons tliat it would not be amiss for the ' "state to fike eare of its officers. it V'ouli] seem to In; an unequal contest be"t ween l>etw r,n the I"11it??< 1 Stales Government ami individual citizens of the Sta:c, end especially when it is rcmem icred * hat nearly all the negioes which we have been so anxious to educate at our own expense, stand by the thousand* ready to testify to almost anything which otlr enemies ties ire. What surprises us most is the fact that there are still a few and \ve!l meaning citizens who arc still for luxation to educate a das* of people who hcver fail to vote against tfsiUbl to swear Hg.iinst us whenever an enemy appeal's who will listen to their falsehoods. Although the property-owning people of this State have paid over a quarter of a million dollars annually, for! the last fifteen years, to ediicato these I people, we believe there is not one in a thousand of them who will not show hisj Wse ingratitude on every opportunity. J New Time Standard. The authorities of the Columbia and \ Greenville Kuilrortd adopted tho new time standard last Monday, and changed the schedule of arrival and departure i'rom this place. Tho long whistle is now j Vlown at cloven o'clock, and the train : moves off hfttf tin hour later. Tho train now comes in at half past five o'clock by j "the new time, which is eight minutes taster than Washington time. Thisj vhange is in pursuance of an agreement i Entered .into by very nearly all the rail"- [ road systems in this eoun'rj' and ('ana- j da, at a convention held at Chicago last I mnnth. Tho whole country is divided I into five divisions?the Intercolonial, OOj degrees west from (Irecnwich ; the Kastfrn, 75 degrees west from Greenwich; the Central, PO degrees west from Greenwich { the Mountain, 105 degrees west from Greenwich; the Pacific, 120 degrees west from Greenwich. The divisions are | tiftecn degrees apai t, which is equivalent tc one hour of time. The whole earth Is divided into twenty-four sections 01 m-i teen deprecs each?one for every hour of i time in the day. The difference in time between any two places is therefore one iionr for every fifteen degrees that the i places are dUtant froin each otlier. The Port Iloyal Railroad runs by the j _ <Jeorgia time, which is one hour slower j than our time. The Public Roads. It is to be hoped that our Legislature tnay not meddle with our public high*way system further than to provide for an intelligent survey of someof our miserable routes, which were formerly hud out to accommodate the planters in the matter of fencing. There is no necessity for keeping up the proscnt crooked roads Mils, when more level and more direct routes may be surveyed and laid with the least possible cost. The road from here to the bendy bridge oil Long Cane is over a succession of steep bills, while it is possible to make a road along Norris' creek to Abbeville Court Jlouse with an almost imperceptible rise. Level roads can bo easily kept up, while j t lie roads over steep hills are most expen-j #5ve to keep in repair, and exhaustive to j animals and vehicles. Now when roads j <?o not interfere with fencing and when j hey can bo straightened at the most trilling expense, let the good work proceed, j ? The C. C. 0. & C. R. R. The directors of this road met in Aiken j last week. Nothing of any definite na*! turo was done. It seems that tho com- j pany which contracted to build it has, failed. The directors have determined to1 try to raise sufficient funds from our own j people to grado the road in South Caroli-: sia. The city of Greenville has agreed to, pay a stipulated amount for a branch j road to connect with that town. The: route will likely run directly from Edgefield Court House to Verdery or Bradlej', .and on to Abbeville. This move to connect with and to utilize the proposed now branch road from tho Augusta and Knoxville to Abbcvillo. There is a growing sentiment and demand for the! new road to Verdery, and it is under- J <tood the friends of the enterprise will; upply to the Legislature for a charter, although they have neglected to make the 'accessary legal advertisement. Tlic Stock Lair in Georgia. The Augusta Chronicle nmi t'ovxtirv- j UnnnlixtM beginning to take an interest j in the adoption of the stock law in llich-l moud coiinlv. If that able and influen-! tial paper will work with the same cner- [ gy for tho adoption of this law, as it has! worked for tarifT, the citizens of that j county will surely be enabled to see tlmt the stock law would be worth more tOj the people of Georgia than every other' Jaw on the statute books. We think tho j Chronicte owes this much to its constitu-; ency, as a compromise for the great ef-j forts which that paper has made against,: as tlrink, the best interests of the peo-! pie in the matter of the tariff question, j The Fair and the Ball. Wc thank our correspondent " A Visi- j for," for his interesting account of the i Fair and the Ball in Columbia last week.' While it is a matter of no consequence to anybody, yet without thw account the! world would have never known that Ab bevillc contributed to theState House entertainment as many elegant gentlemen and as many beautiful women any1 county iti the State. ? 4> The Jfrreliant and Farmer. This week we hail the Merchant <tn<l Farmer from its new homo in Laurens. Our' l>est wishes attend Mr. McLucas in bi? enterprise, and we do this most heartfly without abating' one jot or one tittle of our kindly feeling for the good old Hern Id with whfeh it comes into competition. Competition is said to ho the life ?f trade, and if this bo so, new ftfc will be imparte.l to both newspapers, and the public of I,aurons will be the gainers. We believe it to be to the interest of the Business men and of the eitizens general Ty to support both newspapers, as is done In Abbeville county. . i * In Memory of Armlstead Burt. . V. Elsewhere in this issue of the Press and Bonner may be found the proceedings of the Bar meeting which was he'd last Monday. The meeting was an impressive one, and the beauty and style of the speeches will well repay a perusal. JTothing impressed us more tliwi tho ex presslons of affection and high esteem as made by tire- younger members of the Bar. TnE Abbeville Bar was well represented in Colombia last week : Colonel K.

It Is now In order for the committee to re I port the I'reample and Resolutions prepared lor tills occasion iu honor of our lamented dead. W. A. Loo, K*q., from the Committee [appointed at tho previous meeting, tc prapare a suitable tribute to the memory of the Into Hon, Armistead Rurt, consistI ing or tho Chairman of this meeting and Win. fl. Parker, Ksq., and R. R. Hemphill, Esq., before submitting the reporl of the Committee, said as follows: I Mr Chairman?It Is with feelings of pro found dlltidcnec that I appear on this occasion as the representative, In part,of tho Abbeville Bar, to Rive expression to its emotions 01 heartfelt so'row at the death of Its oldest, and one of Its most eminent members, the lion, Armlstend Burt: as well as to set forth tht love and admiration which It entertained foi his character and abilities. It Is to the accidents of time, place and circumstance that 1 owe the part which I assume today ; but I am consoled by the reflection thnt any imperiec. tlons or omissions In my feeble tribute, will be more than supplemented by those who arc better able to dcliuritte the life, cftamcter and i>nblle servUen of the deceased ; by those who have fought the battles of life on the same fields: who have "S'-orned delights and lived laborious days"; who have been crowned vlC' tors In the same forensic contests, and whe have borne off the highest honors of the pro fesslon. They can best testify, what If Is to attain eminence In the profession of the law ; what exacting labor, what consummate skill, what varied and profound learning, whut abundunt resources, physical, Intellectual and moral, are required to make the eminent and successful lawyer. Tos:iy then of the deceased, that ho was at the head of bis profession?tlie profession oi the law: that he was a leader of the Bur? the Abbeville Ilnr, Is eulogy Itself?one of the highest that wc can offer to the memory ol the deceased. It Is to say of him that he'was a noble member of a noble profession?the eompeerof Hale and Pomers and irarilwlcke; of Mnrslmlt, and Kent and Story: of WebMet and Plnkney nnd Wirt; of Piingleand Petlcm and Preston ; of Pessanssurc, Harper and .Johnston:of Nott, O'Xeail and the Wairaiaws; a profession which has furnished Ihe most Illustrious names to the annuls of the Stato and General Oovorntneht; It is to say of him that he was a worthy successor of u long line ol eminent m?n at this Bur, who were the peer* of any in the State; of a Bur wlileh has furnished perhaps, more than Its due proportion of Judges, legislators and statesmen ; a Bar which whilst It hns contributed to mould public opinion abroad, has been especially distinguished for elevatinc the standard of public and private virtue at home. We but express the opinion <T the lamented deceased, when we say that It Is to the Bar of Abbeville, that our County owes much or whatever Is elevated in Intelligence, refined in manners, and pure In public and private virtue. Was the liar a model of ability, courtesy and Integrity? Who possessed In n moreemln' nt -Jegree. that rare union and blended harmony of qualities which ensure love, esteem and admiration? Who more able, who more courteous, who had higher standards of private ahd nubile excellence? An eminent and sueccst-ful luwyer, he crowned Ihe labors of a long professlo al llff? by serving lor more than twenty years as the chairman of the Vestry of his '.i.i.mi.. Ami tfia President of the Ab vilie Whle fioc'ety, a worthy successor of Nolilc. nn?l Wardlaw, nnd Perrln and Thomson? distinguished lawyers nil. A lawyer of pre-eminent ability, Mr. Rnrt furnished an example worthy of nil Imitation In the elaborate research, and untiring industry. whl.-h ho brought to the preparation of bis cases. Often have I henrd him Kay that he was naturally Indolent, but when confronted nt the bar with the tnspirinz example of the illustrious Wardlaw; the necessity of making due preparation for thevxcltlngeontcstsot the forum, Imposed upon him long and arduous labor. To this discipline long continued and and exacting, be attributed the success which crowned his life. Labor, he believed to be the price of all excellence and the measure to nil success. To most of us. hlfi great reputation a* a lender of causes and as iv successful ad vocate before juries In the prime of his career. Is only matter of tradition, but. we can all bear tcstlmoliy to tlinl elaborate preparation and profound research, which had become the habit of his lift*. I,et an.v one read his printed brief hi *heca?eof Waller vs. Creswel I, Involving the Jurisdiction of the Court ot l'robate In the mnker of gardlanshlp ami in the case of I>avcni>crt vs. Caldwell, as to the want of Jurisdiction of the same court in cases of partition, and he wlli see how clear and explicit Is the enunciation of principle, how cogent the reasoning, how convincing tho authorities, how wide the research, yet how careful the seloctlon, He was moro noted for the thorough*ies* than the ranceof his research, fortbcfcippo?lteness than the number of his authorities. He has often laughingly told an opponent, that he divined the weakness of his case by th< number of books he bronchi. Into court. His example and success well illustrate the old adage, "Heware of the man of one book." I have referred to his tiaditlonal fame a? I no w .neroi vcrciicis trom reiuciam. juries and I suppose that noono in his day had a great or reputation in that way. I have heard the , Into Judge Orr express the opinion that In hl> prime the deceased had nosnperioras a crlmt I nal lawyer and whiit, may be ask wore tlx chief element* of hi* success as a crlmina | lawyer. He had a noble and commanding | person, a serene and unruffled composure :a courteous and winning address, which at I traded attention and eonclMated favor, a genial and plensanf wit, which relieved the tedium I of a protracted trial, and above all a trained j and aetitclntelleot.asloeplcss vigilance. which snatched victory even from the Jaws of do> If-at. As was said o( RlrJ-Iamos Scarlett. th( I distinguished Kngllsh advocate. It was not sf j much eloquence that he exhibited, as consum mate fact In the management of his eases bofore Juries which ensured his success. j For ten years the deceased was a member o ! Congress, and though with his high charac ; tor and abilities, iic could not fall to Impresi i himself upon the legislation of the countrj | yet he gave to po'ltlcs only a divided nile I glance. and was overshadowed by hlsgroa 'contemporaries, Calhoun and MonulHo. win I for more than half a century lllustrhted tlx annals of the government.

HI: J largo experience of life nnd extended Inter | course with prominent men made hiin cvei an agreeable companion, while hIk genla courtesy and great affability Imparted i charm to his dally life. He had overconv the defectsof an early education, hy eonversi with the most eminent men of his day, am I hy the study of the best authors, and he gav< i expression to the best thoughts in a style sin gulnrly pure, clear andattrncllve. As model : of his* style, we would refer to his eulogle i upon Judge Ward law and Mr. Perrln, am can only regret that with so wide an expert ence of "men iwid n flit I in, he has left so little o permanent rccord, so lew written memorial | to inspire the rising generation with adu< i sense of the glory and greatness ol Its pas : history.

It was one of his known peculiarities, which afforded evidenco of the kindness of his henrt, nlwn.v* to encourage tho efforts of youne men at. tho bar; aid, a* I suppoNC. prompted by this general deposition, he wns j kind enonsh to notice tw1, an unknown nnd obscure sfrlp'lng; and trom that, time until ! the dny of his denfh.our kindly relations, nlj though often tested hy the severest strnpclcs at the hnr, were never for an Instant broken. When ho W:ts a distinguished member of Congress, nnd I wns only a poor private in the Palmetto r#glmcnt- during the Mexican war. I he voluntarily exerted himself and procured i for me from President Polk the office of Captain In the I'nlted Statesarmy. Of this great land tlmelv service I cnuld not of course be unmindful; but now that he Is eono, the memory of It comes back upon me fresh and green, nnd adds fo the eeneral sen?e of his loss. something of the tenderness of personal grief. Althnnch our departed friend was not horn on the Roll of Abbeville Ills destiny fixed his lor here very enrly In life. He married and settled hero, and for over fifty years?the wl.ole period of his aetlve manhood?he had no other and desired no other home. He found the cull 11 rod people here congenial to him. and hn took deep rnol amongst them. Perfectly Identified with their, he was In alii things and at all times devoted to their ser-j i vice, regarding their Interests as his Interests j ! and Ihelr honor as his honor. This devotion j on his part was returned to him In very full I measure. \\ Ith a striking and manly person '?possessed of unusual ability and address? I full of spirit. Intelligence and culture and I hnvlne a mnnner remarkable for modest selfrespect and high and gentle courtesy, this ) people were delighted to adopt and appropriate him: and helne In accord with them on " most subjects and having their confidence, they often selected him to represent them In the Legislature, In conventions of the people | and In Pongress. Indeed he soon became the I type?the true exponent and representative | ol the cultured people of Abbeville?a gentle-' I man of the old hleh-toned stately school, | now unfortunately passing away. Abbeville gave him his home and his grove, nnd It U II most flttlneand proper thnt the whole people ] or A nocviilo should honor the memory or one [ ? who for a lire lime was devoteil to their Inter-1 est*. and to hold up his exnmple for the admt> ration and emulation of those who ore to [ come after.

"except In persons very happily born, to open )i"nnd liberalize the mind precisely In the - "same proportion." Mr. Hurt was one of those very persons thus "happily born." In l lils tastes, his temperament and In tho pitch f:and character of his mind, he was pre-eml nently adapted to the low. This was hlssper ' cialty?his chosen field. In which he was ever r | ready to encounter any mailed knight, who -1 was l>old enough to enter the lists with him. t( As the giant ylnfaetM could Dot he overthrown t1 while he continued In contact with mother I earth, so on this gronnd. our friend was lull vincible. His was what Is called a leiral I ,1 mind. clear, analytical and discriminating? - i sometimes, perhaps, a little too much Incllni' ed to over nice reflnemer.t.s, but on the whole b healthy, active and strong. Being familiar sjwlth the practice and especially with the I roles of pleading, Ills battle cry was victory? 11 neither asking nor giving quarter. r I He seemed to be aware of hlsown fitness p.land during his long life loved his profession f! with the ardor of a boy. Itl8truethat.bek i Ing connected with our greatest statesmen -1 Mr. John Calhoun and the Intimate friend j r i and neighbor of Gov. McDuffle.both of whom I 11 were In public life, he was for a short time ! i tempted away from his chosen profession,j p'and Induced to go to Congress, where he alaj ways discharged his duties creditably, as; 1 chairman of Important eoiiimlttees and some-1 6 I times presiding with great dignity as Speaker I -j of the House of Kepresen tat Ives. But his i s j heart wns not In It. He has often been henrrt I k ! to say that It was the greatest mistake of his J 11 life, to give np his largo lucrative practice and 1 -: conseot to go to Congress. He had no rel Ish | f, for politics, and as is usual In such cases, his | s I actual experience only con firmed his original I B j repugnance. He was circled to Congress ; t without any serious difficulty, and undnuht- < I edly might, have continued there If he had dc- j tj sired. Ilul declaring that lie could stand it -:no longer.he voluntarily declined a ro-elee-l t' tlon and returned to his chosen profession of; f; hard labor, but of mnnly inuependenee. -1 One of the most striking traits of Mr. Burt; s in his practice as a lawyer was his entire do-; , volion to his cause. Like Mr. Choate of Mas-1 ,, sachusetts, for the time being, he knew no ono [ 3 but his client. He was one of tlvose who bet. lleve that every man Isentltled to a fair trial, ' and that It is the duty of a Inwyer to do the t best ho can for his client: thsit experimental-! I ly. Justice Is found to be more effectually pro1 muted in the end. by the opposite eftorts of - practiced and Ingenious men, presenting to j i, tlie selection of an Impartial Judge, the best | - arguments lor the establishment and expla-| 2 ration of truth: and that under such an arf rangement. It becomes the duty of the ndvo? cate to use all the arguments In his power to: , i defend the cause he represents, and leave the | r,effects of the argument to the judgment of: > others. Oneof the first results of being thus | 7 engrossed in the cause, must be to muke the | ? advocate earnest and eloquent; and wo have i r heard our friend on great occasions, when his' i , passions were aroused, really eloquent.

It was touching to see him as lie toiled on with resignation. If not. with cheerfulness, to the vory end, which at last, came suddenly and unexpectedly.

Judge Cothran then Bpoke as follows: Mr. Ciiaiumas?Owing to abscnee on Circuit. duties until Inst .Saturday, I have not had the opportunity of prepurlng any remarks for this occasion. It needs these solemn surroundings to make me realize that Mr. Hurt is no longer with us. He had passed beyond the allotted ace ol man, blithe never Impressed me with the Idea of old age. My excellent friend, the Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, has asked a question, which 1 think I can nimn-pr- What, elixir of life did Mr. Hurt pos sc*r that kept him youthful to the la?t?

In that Inner consciousness?the soul. Mr. Burt was essentially a lawyer, and a very treat lawyer. My friend who lias Just taken his sent hns said that he was too much given to reflnlnir. Others have expressed, perhtips, the sumo Idea In saying that he was sophistical. But. Mr. Chairman, what Is sophistry but an aid to truth, as Its name Implies. It Is but the gossamer veil that overlies and conceals the truth, and it has been determined after centuries of eflort that the best means ofattalnlng truth In the matter o| Judicial Investigation Is for opposing counsel to present In the most soph 1st leal manner their respective shies of a cause, before a Judge, who Is capable of tearing away the rell, for under It. will always he found the " I- iU. ? / < I, ?

Thlsi?eneratlon, Rome of whom are now present, will never forpct the ponderous blows that he was wont to deal upon his adversaries In tills arena. I have felt them and have often daggered under thorn, but It Is matter of Inexprosslblo satisfaction to me now to say, as I do. that no sun ever went down upon our wrath. It was often the contest In which quarter was neither asked or uiven, but it always ended with the case; and to his high and knightly courtesy be all the praise. Ills was a lifu of great succe*s, in a'l that goes lo make up a sueecssfui life, and he was one of the few whom I have known that once havlnir tasted the faclnal.lon of public life?so empty and delusive In the end ?turned hlsback voluntarily upon them and returned with more than contentment to the arduous pursuit of Ihe law. No man's political career In tills country ever beg in more auspiciously, and but few have been marked with more of usefulness to his constituents and of honor to himself. The overwhelming victory over his two competitors in 1MH for Congress by which he received more voles than l>oth of thein together and the fact that he had no competitor In the flvo ensuing elections gavo assurance that his term of office was Indeed a llfelenure, but whether he loved the applause of listening senates or not, It boots not now to enquire, for certain It 1* ,lwv* Vw% #Ko loft rtf (Im loir mnrn IM, IIIHV IIU I'lTUU IHO pinvuvv... *..? ...? ....... and as one who gave to It more than thrice the "vii/iinti anno* htmbratiow*," and who died In the harness. the oldest luwyor In the State, his memory deserves to he, as I believe It will be, held In perpetual remembrance.

Chaiiimax?Whether the pleasant relations that existed between .Mr. Hurt and myself were due to the relation that, existed at one time In the practice of the law at Kdgofleld between him an l those who were connected with me by ties of blood; or whether lh<*y were the result of the natural Interest lie felt In one who came from his nitlve County; or whether they were the offspring of the kindly Interest be felt In young men, I do not know. But I do know that from the beginning of my acquaintance with him, to thedayof his death, I experienced nothing but kindness at his hands. I remember well the first time I entered this court room as a mnmhui-nf ilik liar T enme here onnressed with the embarrassment Incident to newscenes and new surroundings. I wns deeply Impressed with the reflection that I had east my lot at a Bar whose members ranked second to none Iti the .State. There sat there at this table two w.io towered before the attention of the Bar of the State by reason of their pro-eminent abilities, their age, their learning, and their character. They were Mr. Thomas C. Porrln and Mr Hurt. The one soon after went tohlsrc?t. The other Is he whose lite we are met hereto commemorate. The two were the first to tako me by the hand and bid me welcome. For these reasons T ask tho privilege to lay my humble tributo of respect, and admiration on the grave of our late distinguished brother of the Bar. Of his life and his labors nnd his professional careor others may more fitly speak. Be mine the simple task to bear testimony to the nflfcctlon and respect hlscharacter and his deeds awoke In me. I never wont to him for couns'd and advice that hs did not give It cheerfully nnd willingly. And I seldom failed, when I followed ills admonitions, to reach aright conclusion. It may not bo inapproprlnto to say that though Mr. Hurt removed very early in life trom Edgefield county, the people ol that county do not fall to recognise nls merit, nor to do honor to his name. One of tho prettiest tributes I have heard to his memory comes from a citizen of that county. Ills death was befitting the life he had led. IlnHii.nmul ouloon In rlniith Klirrollndt'd hv nil the Implements with which he hud waged the battles of professional life. He was within the precincts of his ofllee which had ever been the temple of his worshipped devotion to his glorious profession. Here were the books tlint he hud read, the table and the pens ho had used, and the briefs that he had prepared. Here, In the midst of them, he went calmly and peacefully to his death; literally "Like one who wraps the drnpery of his couch around him, And lies down to pleasant dreams." Ellis G. Grayclon, Epq., said: Mn. Ch a i km ax?In rising to express my approval of the resolutions which have been ottered, and to pay iny feeble tribute to the memory of the distinguished deceased, I can but regret that my acquaintance with him was so limited, that I knew hint well for so short a time. When I first became acquainted with him a little more than seven years ngo, time had laid lis fingers upon him, gently and tenderly It Is true, hut perceptibly, nevertheless, ami I could only guess how matchless his Intellect hud been In Its youthful vigor and piimeby what I saw of It In his old age. It Is not for mo to speak of his magnificent triumphs in the forum, In the State Leglsluturo. In Conventions ot the people, and iii the Halls of Congress, others who knew him In mose urjk nave spokch nuiiigiy 01 ins u brilliant carter. I shall only mention ft few of the I r lilt? n< his private character, fur In that I knew 111 in best. "Wlicii I tame to the Har seven yearn ngo, penniless and unknown. I was the recipient, of much kindness at the hands of tho older members. They lent me their book*, they assisted mc with their counsel and advice, and did everything In ttiiMr power to give me a f?lr start. None was kinder and more generous than Mr. Hurt. He was particularly kind to young men. He w;is over ready to advise them, to speak to them the word of kindly sympathy, anil to plafeat their disposal Ills long experience and his vast and varied stock of knowledge. In one particular Mr. Hiut was unllked most men I have known. liefore a man arrives ut his age, lie must cf necessity pass through trials and troubles. He must meet with inmiy false friends and encounter many bitter enemies. What wonder, then, It his experience causes him to be morose, suspicious, aud soured wllfi the world? That Is the general result, but It. was not so with Mr. Hurt. Ho was cheerful, frank, contented, and even Joyous, and' ,wos in active and hi artv svinnathv with tli9 world around him to the day of hls'deatb. Another characteristic of Mr. Burt wns hi* kiudnessand bcnevolencc. His was Indeed a chnrlty that, did not let his left hand know what his right bund did. During my stay in his office us Junior partner for over four years. I saw many calls made oti him for assistance. Many of them I knew to lie tin worthy. lie did not slop to inquire. He simply gave. His kindness as a master was shown In the fact thntat the end of every year while I was] with him, ills former slaves came to see "Old Marstcr" ami get a Christmas present from him* None ever went away empty-handed. In the preparation of his cases, .Mr. Hurt was careful, accurate, and laborous. He held j that labor was the "open sesame" to success | in all the walks of life, but more particularity | at the liar. He took It for granted that his opponent was well prepared on his aide of the case, and his industry in getting ready for Court wan an example worthy of imitation by those who have not his keen and discriminating Judgment, his long experience at the Itar, and Ills profound mid thorough knowledge of the law. Mr. Hurt's courtesy In his intercourse, publicum! private, was unfailing and unflagging. In that respect ho was well worthy or our Imitation. He always squared his Intercourse with others by tho rule, "In houor preferring. . . . . i it. a one nl'othur," whlclt embraces .in c ?!?? ?
