WEDNESDAY, JANUAEY 21. Eulogy on Chief Justice Simpson. Tlie ceremonies in memoriam of "Chief Jastice Simpson were held in *he Snpreme Coart room; at Columbia, on Tuesday 13th, in the presence of a ?number of distmgui-bed citizens and members of the profession. Mr. Jas. Dau*l. Pope, the oldest member of tbe Columbia bar, among other speakers delivered the following eulogy upon the life and character of she distinguished dead. It will be react and admired by many, not: only for the true exposition it contains, of the char acter of the deceased Judge, bat as a . finished literary production. May it please yor.r Honor: It bas been offiti-Jly announced to this Court " ' that Chief Justice Simpson has been removed by death from his sphere of usefulness; here on- earth. The de ceased Judge, honored fo r his services, beloved for bis virtues, respected for his learning and revered for the parity of his public and private life, has ceased to occupy his accustomed place. '*The days of man are as grass. The wind goeth over it,-it is gone, the place whereof shall know it no more." if ; 'There is in every man's nature some ruling trait, some quality that sounds the.keynote of his achievements in life. .In one tbe touch slone of his success may be traced to the splendor of his intellectual endowments. His mind seems to grasp the past, the present and the future Standing upon this vantage ground, his eye seems to survey and his hand seems to mould the destinies of men. . In' another ~we have the matchless ./ power of eloquence, which seems to sweep before it all hostile resistance like chaff before the wind. In another we, have tbe learning which gathers its treasures on every -'-n band ; digs op tbe golden ore as with a spade, and, in onr own profession, leads to tbe success; that "broadens slowly down from precedent to ' prece dent.7* In another we have that' charm of 1 manner that seems to sweeten human life, cot only to its fortunate possessor, bnt to all others who are permitted to enjoy the sunshine of so rich a nature. In another we have an indomitable Rr will power, a physical and moral cour age, which thrusts aside every obstacle, and availing the opportunity, takes tbe - tide aUthe flood ?hieb leads on to for tune. These high qualities make men great, or successful, or honored, cr loved. Some call it lock, others for L - tone. I tell joe nay. It is that which belongs to character. Wh? t then, we may ask, was the keynote to tbe success of the late Chief Justice, bis life and his work ? That keynote may be described in two words -exalted character. And what is this thing called character? It is that subtle quality of mind and heart which seems to pervade one m&a'e nature and call forth unbidden the corresponding confidence of his fellow-man. This was Chief Jusice. Simpson s strength ; this character was his ; this confidence be enjoyed. There are those in onr history who exerted a wider influence in pnblic affairs; 'twere are those who more largely moulded public opinion; there are those wbo bold greater sway in the public counsels; there were those who were more richly endowed by oa tore with splendid intellectual powers, but no man in South Carolina ever enjoyed in bis day within the sphere in wbieb be was called to act a greater dogree of public confidence. The late Chief Jastice an question ably possessed no ordinary intellectual gifts, no ordinary learning in law, no or dioary power of speech when he exhibit?j ed himself on public occasions, or ordi nary gractoasness of manner in social fife, no ordinary courage in maintain iag his settled opinions. Indeed he at all times bad the courage of his con* viciions. Bat none of these qualities could be said to be tbe strong points of bis na ture farther than they entered more or less largely into the general make-up of the man. His strong point was his pare life, his unimpeachable character, Let us consider from this standpoint bis life's work, for it is finished. Why .was it that he attained in early years, before be bad achieved anything like intellect aal superiority, a somewhat unusual success at the Bar ? How is this ? The public saw in bim the bud ding promise of a character which in dicated integrity, firmness of purpose and lofty aims in bis profession. These great qualities grew with his growth and strengthened with his strength, but they ripened into the full fruition at the age of nearly three score years and ten. He stood next to no man in main taining tbe right as he saw it, the troth as he believed it. AU this comes of a high tesolve, of a robust moral nature. Why was it that while yet almost a stripling his popularity secured bim a seat in the Legislature before he bad ripened into full intellectual ma turity ? Let ns remember that tbe late Chief Jostice was no transcendent genius ; no great man of affairs, tak ing as it were the world by storm; no fixed star in tbe intellectual firmament, around which revolved planets of lesser magnitude. What was it. then, 1 ask, what was the spell that drew to bim tbe love and confidence of others? What was it that so early called hivj into publie life and kept him there ? We answer it was the stable beacon ' ower of character, illumined by the steady guiding light of judgment. Guided by these lights Mr. Simpson continued the practice of his profession with flattering success nntil, io obe dience to tbe call of his native State, be took up arms in her defence. He belonged to that school of American politics which maintained the strictest, doctrine of State sovereignty ; and never daring his whole life did he swerve from the convictions derived from acquaintance with the teachings of the fathers of the Constitution. Here again we bave the evidence of his high, strong, consistent character. He was no reed to be shaken by the wind, no weather gauge turning to catch the breeze of public applause. He be lieved that the Constitution established ? Republic of States, and not a con solidated Federal Be public. He be lieved that bis allegiance was due to the State, and that wbeu he struck in her defence he was neither a rebel nor traitor. And as be lived so be died io the political faith of tbe fathers of the Re public. Why was it that Col. Simps; a iras transferred, daring the. struggle against Federal usurpation backed by Federal arms, from the tented fields to the councils of the Confederate States ? Public attention bad not been attracted to him by his exploits as a soldier. What, then, called him into the public service of the new Confederated States, struggling for the inalienable rights of establishing a government deriving its powers from the consent of the governed ? It was a feeling ou the part of the [public who called him to the position that bis high, unselfish character was needed to check the ambition of self seeking aud smaller men, who, often without merit, claimed that they were entitled .to the first place. He dis charged the duties of his new station not brilliantly but safely, and generally with the instincts of a soldier battling for the right, and the zeal of a patriot belonging to the right. And some day the instinct of the one and zeal of the other will be vindicated, not by arms let us hope, but by an awakened sense of public danger aud a sobe r return to safer counsels. I remember well seeing Col. Simpson in the Confederate Con gress, aud remember, too, the bright countenance with which he greeted me at the old capitol at Richmond as one wiih whom he had been associated iu the old South Carolina Legislature. The fratricidal war was .ended. Col. Simpson resumed his profession, impoverished it is true, but not dis heartened. The calamity of misrule overwhelmed us for a season, hut there was life in the old land yet. It was not written upon the door of our prison house. "He who enters here leaves hope behind." In that struggle up ward, which we all remember, from the darkness of misrule to the light and blessings of good government, Col. Simpson was again called to take the fore and was nominated without his knowledge and elected to the Congress of the United States. Why this mark ed distinction ? It came not by reasoo of his great public service, not by reason of his conspicuous intellectual gift, for these at the the time were in a measure unknown ; but it came by reason of that character that had always evoked confidence in the man ; it came be cause it was believed he could be trusted ; it came because it was be lieved to withstand the corruption of the time and rebut the prejudiced counsels of vindictive partisans. There Le was met and excluded by the iron bar which came in the shape of what may be called a greater calamity than war, pestilence or famine?the calamity of what was known as recon struction.. But our thesis still holds true ; the correlatives were still present ?the character of the man' and the confidence of- the public. Nothing daunted by this partisan action1, Col. Simpson pursued the even tenor of his way until without his consent, I be lieve without bis knowledge, he was again called to the front and nominated for the same place upon a ticket which contained the name of Wade Hampton at its head. Here it may be said that fortune again smiled upon hor favored son. Bot this falls short of the exactness of truth. The troth is good character again lifted into place this upright citi zen. He entered upon bis duties as Lieutenant Governor and in virtue of his office presided over the deliberation of the Senate. How be discharged those duties it is needless here to speak. Firm, prompt, courteous and impartial, be gained the respect and confidence of all. Upon the election of the incumbent Governor to the Senate of the United States this distinguished public servant, without anticipation, was crowned with a new promotion. And here, for the first time in his life, success came to him unawares and in the form, as it were, of chance and not, as on prior occasions, through public confidence bestowed open one who seemed to be in life the impersonation of unblemish ed character ; for by the organic law the Lieutenant Governor became Gov ernor of the State. And lere, too, his mild dignity, his clear judgment, his winning manners, secured for him such a degree of popularity that when the position of Chief Justice was declined through patriotic motives by an honored member of this Court tbe judicial robe now fell upon the shoulders of our own deceased friend. He wore it well and he wore it long, and as it dropped from him here on earth it was as .pure and spotless as the white robe that fell upon him as he passed through the dark valley and entered into the light of the great bejond And so he is to-day in the Celestial City and dwells in a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Here on earth wc shall meet his benign countenance no more. He will call no more cases to be heard on ap peal here, for he has rendered up his own appeal to Him who bears in justice, but pronounces judgment in mercy. And, oh, how often as we, too, my brothers shall follow him adown the Is?-1 side of life, on the sha<?v side, shall-we miss The touch of a v;:r.i>h'd hand And the sound of a vo?e that is still.
