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

And the sound of a vo?e that is still.
