J8.1877. "SB". JUDGE JOHN J. MAHER. JJis Canhidacy fou tub Bench in Case or a Vacancy, and ins Kn- inent Fitness fou it. The anticij atcJ yacaocic^ \f\ the Su- nreme and CirtuU Coyrtii of ot»r State invc given rise to a great deal of dis- ussioi) as to *vju) should fill Uiem, Al- iohI every section of the State inis put jrvvard its eaxididale, and tin array of .lent and virtue will be presented to c legislature whey the occasion ay- ri ves, which should tyake them, 1q the isciousness cf the sayred duty they the State, hcsltufe loyg and delih- eyrefuljy bel’ore making a selection.* cod hardly he said by its. for every jv j.jtic man will feel i.t in hi* o*" rt, that fitness lor tlu» position should i • he only test of the oandidates, and • t polities and political .services to the te should nut he tyfccy intocopsjdcr- on, or, if at all, only wiic.n several ididates come up to the s^nie ipteljec J and tyoral standard. The reputa* t. u of iiouth Oaroiinp js Jtoo myeh at ' ke, and her interest is too deep iu istitution of the State Judiciary, for osc who have that duty imposed upon cm to look beyond the personal quali- atious of t.he candidates, ft js a great . sponsibility testing optfijc legislature, nd the people who havy placed this ligh power in their hands will carefully watch tficir use of it. The friends of ex-Judge Maher, of Barn]ycll, ip their confidence as to the invalidity of the election of tfin pres ent Circuit Judges, have procured his consent to a candidacy t'uT the Judge- ship of the .Second Circuit, and his name will be presented to the legisla ture, with the assurance that his superi or fitness for the position will he at once recognized. But we go farther than la permitted by his express sanction, and we urge buy as the choice of- uU rit& fl*»’nes mention' cd, for the A&sociule Justiuoship.. With out authority from himself, bn has al ready been freely spoken of for the Su. prcuie Bench, for itl as hcen generally recognized that he possesses in au un usually large degree all the quali ties that would make him an ornament |o that Court. We feel a delicacy in discriminating in his favor where so many gentlemen of high distinction in tnc legal profession are mentioned, but he seems to us to combine more of the essentials than any of the others. To the bar of this Circuit ha is of course best known, but his reputation, eyep in his short inouinbency of four years, has extended over tjie whole State. At the earnest solicitation of ki.s fi'jeqds, and with great reluctance, he consented in 1872 to allow his name to be placed before the Legislature for tfie vacancy caused by the death of j udge Platt, and for the good of his State he gave up an -extensive, lucrative practice, left his privacy, and even incurred political mis- eonstructioj} by his poceptaose of the ''position. Being -i Democrat, he had a strong o!-jjctiop to his napie being sub mitted 'n a Radical Legislature, hut he yielded a’,! his personal feelings, on the condition uu;.« he should not be required to visit the Capc.al, and that no pledge or declaration of a«.y kind should be asked ol him. 1 Jiis was a poblc service to the .State that cannot ho too highly esteemed—an act of generoys self- 1 sacrifice, at a time when it required more than ordinary moral courage for any man to take an office. Ifis ability is so we]I knog n tbpt it is haidly neces sary to dwell upon it} but we will quote a few words Bom an eminent piember of the H irnwtJJ Bur, and one of his inti mate frieppe. fje says : “It rs imt too ranch to saj that bis ad- mjnjutfpt jon of justice during tfqr term of foyr ysai-s, while he was on the bench, has plticAd him, in the estimation ofthp Bar of «he Heoond Circuit, as worthy to rank with Harper, Johnston and Wardlaw, and other judicial worthies of tae .Slate. The writer, during an experience of toorfi ihOoZU years at the bur, has perer seen hie epporinr for rapidity of perception, accurate analysis, clearness of statement, and ready applica tion °f extensive logal kuowle^ige to the facts of cases. Thropghapt his a-hcle career he has been distinguished by invincible in tegrity and irreproachable character. That he was not better kijjown throughout the 8latc, before his clectipn tp thp fisi.ch, is due to bis great modesty and I Up absence of *clf-tH»cr/ivu on his part. Ho is in the prime of life and of robust health, render ing him <. ^ual to the labors of the judicial „'lliec, and may reasonably look forward to tsy.ivy years of uiefulpcss and distinction.’. While, as we said above, we under stand the friends pf Judge Maher to bo authorized to annouooo him only for the Circuit Bupob. wc think that bis end- tie it qualiftaktiona for the highest £«urt of our Statu sbop|d pommend him to the Legislature whop tb«y come to make their choice. Wo fepl sure jbat his name will be submitted by those who are ambitious of sealug the Supreme Court adorned by his talentf, and, as demonstrated by his self sacrificing ac tion in 1872, if called by the State to that service, he wijl obey the call. Letter from Beach Ittland. [Correspondence of Tba Courier-Journal.) Beach Island, Oct. 15. In my last communication there were many names of tha older inhabitants of Beech Island not mentioned. Among these wps the name of Bender. Geo Bender intermarried with one of the Zubleys, and one of his descendants married with one of our most wealthy and prominent citiyeps of that day, Sarn’l Clark, Esq., who was noted »s a Christian gentleman, and also for his cxtepsjve charities and munificent hos- kospitaiitias. Ho was for many years an elder in the Presbyterian Church of this place. He and his wife are both dead, and none of their immediate de scendants aye now living in Beech Isl and. Another Bonder intermarried with Dr. Thomas Sumpter Mills, who for many years was a prominent physi cian of the neighborhood, was also an elder in ihe Frcsbyterian Church, and was noted up to ihn time of his depth (about forty.-fiyc years since) as a man of groaf beneyolonpe and a consistent Christian. Hu wap the father qF one of our present County Commissioners, Maj George Bender Mills, a*nd left behind him his widow our much- honored and rqgpected neighbor, Mrs. M. A. Mills, who sti)l survives, him and is now about 85 years nid, Mr, John Clark, (brother of Samuel and father of our present worthy ottiseu John Mill* Clark.) also married a de scendant of the Zubleys, hie wife’s grandfather being the Rev. Zubley, of Savappab, Q» i a man well known in his rime and highly esJ*eon»d, About 65 years sgo focre cawo into the neighborhood a number of strangers, who married into some of the old fami lies, and prominent' among these were Dr. Milledge Gelphin, Pawson Atkin son, Esq., Dr. Randolph Bradford, and somewhat subsequently Col. Abner Whatley. Dr. Galphin was celebrated as a physician and a man of high tone and generous hospitality. Most of bis descendants nre living here at the pres ent rimPCTOPp of them, Dr. John M- Galphin, married ft daughter of Kioh&rd J. Uaqdinsoo, Eaq-, one of our much esteemed follow citizens. MM- Geo. B. Mills married a daughter of Dr. Galphin the elder. Dawson Atkinson married a daughter of Caspw Nail, ^ilGiy Tilr >nr - i>r or rnu oia bicxSt^ aua "IclVbehind him ris widow, Mrs. Maria Atkinson, who is still living at an advanced age, and also a family of children, among the survivors of whop) are Wtu, H, Atkin, son, Esq., bpth in our community and elsewhere, Pr. Randolph Bradford was also distinguished rs a physician and a large swamp.planter. He married Miss Boggs, of Silvertop, and left behind him a family, (as the result of his sec ond marriage) the most of whom are at present residents of Beech Island, and among them is our talented and much admired young pastor of the Baptist Church, Charles G. Bradford ; also his sisters, the wives of two of our most reliable and substantial citizens, Charles G. Tutt and Frank Duubar. Co|. Abner Whjitley was the father pf our popular, genial and cultivated former neighbor, Captain Thomas W. Whatley, who, after distinguishing him self here as un enlightened and progres. sive planter and an upright man, left us of all of his friends, both for the loss of himself and his most estimable lady, and became one of jour neighbors in the country near Aiken. A little less than forty years since there came into this neighborhood other strangers, two of whom at leapt are sti| residing here, Capt. H. Lt. Mayson, and Dr. II. R. Cook. Capt. Mayson married a daughter pf CVper N a >l, Esq., before mentioned, and Dr. Cook married the only surviving daughter of Capt. John Miller, who*0 wife was a descendant of the old Tftbler and Meyer stock, and who was the father of the prespnt Jona than M. MiJW, the latter having mar ried about thirty-five years since Miss Margaret Smith, of Augusta, Ga., thus introducing another stranger. ' About the time of the lust invasion of strangers James Fanton, § descendant of th« old Nail stock, and the father-in-law of B Richards, the J«rge dry goods man of Augusta, and also the f»tbor-in-)aw of that enthusiastic and warm hearted Hampton man, W, Butt, married Miss Charlotte Sturgeucggsr, a branch from both th* p)d Tabler and Zubley stojrk, and whosa father was John Sturgeneg- ger, Esq , who iu his younger days was much given to the indulgence of the luxuries and elegancies of society, and like the young aristocracy of his time he wore the knec-brccches, silk stock ings, silver buckles and cocked hat of the period, and being wealthy, indulged freely iu the delights and pleasures of .in open hospitality. He lived to a good old age and die*} beloved and regretted espcciaMy by the poor, on account of his kind Christian heart, and benevolent' and charitable acts, illustrating in a (practical way his profession os a mem ber of .the Church of Christ. Nearly all of his immediate desecudeiits are still living and command the respect of the community. Several years subsc- to this, came Thomas J. Davis, Esq., from Georgia, and settled among us, and about twenty years since the late Gov. James H. Hgaimoud moved with his family from Silverton into our neighbor hood, and was a few years afterwards followed by his distingu shed brother, Marcellug M. C. Han. nond. The char acters ot these two men are so well known to the world that their histories have become public property. Nearly all the descendants of these two families reside here, and are comprised among our most enlightened and prominent citizens. * There are the names of four citizens which have not yet been ment ioned, who forty years ago, filled a large space In our community, and who deserved to have their names handed down to pos terity. Those were Chas. Lamar, David Ardis, Stephen Wilson, and Wade Glov er, all men differing widely in character, yet having traits that distinguish them from their fellow men, and made them men of mark. The humble tribute herein offered by the writer is not only prompted by the heart, but is endeavor ed by his judgment for he know them all well as a young man and has often ex perienced the benefits of their counsel and advice as well as advantages of a more moterjal character,* and without t attempting to constitute himself the his- toriau of the neighborhood or the biog rapher of these gentlemen who are all gone to render the]r last accounts before that tribunal where reigns the searcher of all hearts, He cannot refrain from saying something frr these departed friends of his early manhood, Cbas.fBftBtar belonged to so old, prominent nnd wealthy family, and was one of the most enlightened §n I foreseeing msn of his rimes, being n mao of UbtfftJ uduufttlon, nod enlarged views, (he was n printer by. profession in bif Earlier life,) He took n prominent part in a)| matters of public in Unset that transpired during his time, he was steauL fast to his convictions, and bold in as serting them, possnosed of s genial and social disposition and much wit, together with a large cempeteucu and given to hospitality. He was a desirable and agreeable companion to those of his own age, and his extensive experience in life both practical and from reading rendered him a wise sud valuable coun selor for the young. He was a friend to the writer in the begiuiug and through out their entire acquaintance and was highly prized as such by him. Ho died at au advanced age leaving behind his most excellent widow who st;ll survives and a large family of children and grand children. ati IU UU1 lluuiediate descendants are still living at or near the old homestead. Samuel Horn married one of his grand daughters. May the blessings of pros perity and happiness ever attend the whole of his race. ( Continued next \ccclc.)
