TRIBUTE TO The Memory of Judge Rich ardson. At a meetin of the Court of General Sessions and Coimon Pleas, in this city, at 10 o'clock, A. M., Yesterday, the Attor ney General. I. W. ilayne, Esq., announ ced, in a few appropriate and feeling re markln the death of the lion. JonN S. RIcHARDSON, and, in order to afford the Bar and the community an opportunity to manifest their respect to the deceased, and their sense of his lose, moved an ad jgurnment. 6in reply to this motion, his Honor Jndge O'Ni.tL (as report d in the News, of yes terday evening) said "It is unfortunately true. Judge Rien AnosoN, this inorning at about hialf past four, at his lodging in this city, closed his useful life and entered upon his everlast ing rest. Sad indeed is it, and unusual that, on two successive days, we should be called on to mourn the loss of able Judges. Ilitherto our Judges have been preserved by a remarkable providence. At present, however, the chastening hand of God is upun us, and, as our ranks are diminishing and the circle ofearly associates, both on the Bench and at the Bar, is narrowing, it behooves us all, Lawyers and Judges, to take the sad admonition home! Ve muni die! How soon, we cannot say! "Be ye also ready" is a divine comnand, which it would be wise to obey! "Judge RincuAnusoy is well known here; lie was educated at your College; studied Law here, and lived many years of his prime aniiig you. Ile has tilled the high est otlicrs with honor and success. lie has been a member of your Legislature, Speaker of your Ilouse of Representatives, Attorney General, and finally a Judge. 'This last oflice he has held since 18 8. In it, miiv h:nowledge of himn has been long and intiinaite, and I am prepared to bear liy testimony to his great judicial worth. Few men hil a higher sense of duty; lie is now gathered to his fathers, from persist ing too long in tle discharge of his duty! IlIe possessed firumess. conrage, and en. dirance miore thin the :iost of men. I have been nss'ciatel with him in many trials; never hace I seen hinfialler! As an alvocate he po'sse. sed unrivalled talents. A; a Jodge, his opinions forming a consid (rable portion of our reported cases, will speak for hint. But I may say, that, in the consultation room, where a Jludge is more tried thanii any where elsp, I have often mimiiired his acumen and readiness to start llticulties which it required the strongest to meet and remove. " Rlut he is no more. In his seventy fourth year he has been called from us. We hve no right to grieve ; lie died in the full triumph of a Christian faith, and we are justified in. believing that he is in the iace of glorious rest prepared for him. Ile hag died itul of years and full of glory, and we can only say it is Gud's will!'' liis I Honor added, that to enable the Bar, Jurors, witnesses and others, to testify their respect to his deceased brother, lie cheerfully granted the motion, and ad. journed the Court until 11 o'clock, A. M., \today - efn a ge Rice, also adjourned u eit erd in testinmon of Meetinmg of time Bar.

No man more ully appreciated the rights of-thecitizen, ntd the limitations of just and legitimate uthority. ie lived, in his early life, mong those venerable men, who, forty rears ago, constituted the Judiciary and Jar of South Carolina, As an advocate, te had no superior--as a Judge, he was i pattern of indepandience, learning and in egrity. Iu the department of.Qotnjmiercial [.tw, and pre-eminently in that of Consti utional Law, Judge RietntAnson was dis inguished. The liberty of the citizen and mubordination to the legitimate restraints if Law were well understood and firmly mnforced by him. In his intercourse with he Bar he was exemplary-kind and en roulraging to the young. just and courte >us to all, he was far above the influences )f age or station-lhe had no favorite but ustice; he knew no inliierces but those of .ruth and the law.

Hia physical and moral courae was based upon consci )us rectitude, He never feared to do right. lie died as he lived, a brave old man o the last. He saw the approach of death and met it with the huni'ity ofa christian, imns the fortitnde of a Roman. lie has left o his friends, his family, and his country, he legacy of a ripe and spotless fame. that aalumny dare not assail. The remem brance of kindness, courtesy and sterling justice will embalm his memory in the re :a)llections of those who knew hint best, and, in the respect and veneration of all ,vho have witnessed his wisdom, his truth 'ulness, his sympathy for human frailties, and his stern integrity as A public magas. rate. I feel, in his deth, the loss of an ild and valued friend, &lI unite with rthe liar and the public in deep regret for his lecease-as that of independent, learned mnd humane iagistrate, an estiimable, anti ,ainaent Citizen. ;i The 'reamble andl Resolutions were lhen unanimously adopted.

The Union of States for which I strive is not rperely.a UAL ion of law of Constitution, of compact, but while it is that it is n Union of brotherly, re: gard, of fraternal feeling throughout the, whole country.

In short fellow-cizens. my desire and iy labor is to see that stite of things produced, in which, filling all bo. some with gratitude, all hearts with joy. illuminating all faces, spreading through all ranks of people, . whether rieh or poor whether North,South, East or West, there shall exist the balm of - all our sufferings, the great solace of our political calamities in; the great and glorious future, and that is a love of our Jnited Government. Concvnionua of Woncas in Ohio. A convention composed of four or five hundred womeh, many of whom ."occupy the highest place of society in our West.. ern villages=-ronen of vigorous and cul tivated minds, and disttinigmshed for all the virtues pertaining to the sex," assembled In April last in Salem, Columbiana;, Co. Ohio. The object of this extraordinary convention was to make an off rt to secure for the women of Ohio equal rights w:th the Wien in making and administering the laws. They passed "2 resolutions and adopted a memorial to the Co:nvention ;vhich is to assemble in that State to frame a new constitution. As fair specimens of the resolutions and as explanatory of the objects of the convent-on we give four of the resolutions. They are as follows : T. rler, 'rat the evils arising fron the present social. civil hiol religious condition of wom-su proclaim to thomr, in languagu not to b.: misundtrno I, that not only their or,, wefire hast the, highest gon-l of tlil- rat-e delsnanels of them, ats an impernttivo ey.that they shoulti secure to thenseives the Eletive Franchi .

"d.

If no distinctioni can of right -1e nnde between the white and the blaick, then no distinct'oi can of right be made between tha man and the wonmn. If all are createdl equal, ma nil have, b~y nature, t he amne rights, then women are as much entitled to vote at elect ions-to be governors, legislators, judlges, trngis. trates and eriffs, as full grown men. Let the people of the North, thetn, first carry out among themselves their own doctrinces. Lelt them place thc' whole Nortliern family upon a footing of perfect equaiy-politi cal and social. Let them give the right to vote amid hold ofli.ce to their wives and their datughters.

[For the Sumter Hlanner.] M1r. Editor :-Tn looking over the 'Bain nier,' of the 1st of May, I see that the body of the lamented A t.ntoUs was " consigned to a vault in the cemnetery of St. Philip's C'hurcha-thecre to await the will of the next i.egislattre." Although I have no desire to meddlo with plublic aflhire, I wouild yect mnake 01n suggestion; moy reason for so doing, you will readily perceive. My suggestion is this As Mr. CA cuoUs did not prioperly belong to any particular patrt or section of the counitry, lbut was in atn eminent degree, a citizen of the whole Sta.te, I think his re mains shoul be deposited ntear the Capi tol, whore the Staite, honoted by him when living, may be the better able to honor his mieimory, now that he is no tnore. I know of ino way by wvhichi the Legis lature couHl better perpetuate the mienmory of thtat great inan, oir that woul.d be miore grattifymg to his relatints and the people at large, than by depositing his body in the front yard of our Stato llouse and crectini a suitable Motinuent over it. Blesides, it tmighat exert- a powerfttl intu once over imany of our legislators-it might cause themi to study) his character. and pro fit by practicinug hia virtues. A SUJBSCR1IiR.
