TIE LATE CasEr JusrlcE.-The Rich.

Judga Marshall. How different the remarks of Mr, Ritchie from the N. Y. Evening Post !: l Judge Marshall was one of the most dis tinguishrd members 0f the Virginia COnven-
 iion which adopted the Federal Constitution. 1 He was one of the Commissioners tO France, 1 in the year '98. and is said to have been the l pensman of their celebrated despatrhps. He
 acted as Secretary of Siatr, during Mir. John l Adams' Administration. He was one of the 1 brightest lights in the Virginia State C0nven-
 ton of 1929. In every public station W hich
 he graced, his talents, which were as various as they were splendid, pre- eminently distin-

 of the United States, as well as in the life oI
 Washington, which he was selected to com pose rum the origiaal MSS. of that grra, l man.

But per- hans it is even a more grateful incense to the l memory of J udge Marshaiito say, that he was as much beloved. as he was respected. His manners were characterized by so much sim plicity and kindness-tilefe was ahont him SD l little ofthe ssinsOlence ofOfIice." and SD much [ of the benignity oflhe man, that his presence always produced in the social circle, the most delightful impressions. There was something irresistihly winning about him. No man was entitled to mora notice--bnt no man ever pre- tended i0 less. It was surprising tO see the effect which he wrought upon strangers.- They had viewed him At d distance with a species of awe, on account Of his eleNa character. But his manners operated like magic upon them. When they saw him. they were surprised by the sim ici,y of his t.e. neanor--and yon could scNecely persosde them, that in the plain, unpsetpDding, though polished gentleman, before thenl--the man who told his anecdo,e and enjoyed the jest-- they had been introduced to the Chief Justice of the United States. whose splendid powers had filled such large space in the eye of mankind"

"Why, mo-" said be, 't don't see much use in that at present." But would he not like to have the Bihie read tO him "Oh n0, not all of it, there are some parts like very we'll" The sacred volume being br0ught and opened, his anxious attendant asked t'm 10 name some passage which he considered the most suitable to his condition.
