DEATH OF HON. JOHN R. GayMEs.

We are under the painful necessity of adding
another to the list Of distinguished Louisianiana
! who have been taken from us within D COMPARE
lively brief period. The Honorable John X.
Grymes died, in this city. yesterday evening,
after an illness of some considerable duration,
His deah was mot wholly unexpected, and yet
there viii be many who will be startled at its
announcement.
Mr.. Grymes was born in Virginia in the year
1885. and was raised and educated in that State,
In or about 1907 s he emigrated to this city,
where be hes ever since resided; where he has
created d professional reputation Of the highest
order, and where be hiss enjoyed numerous and
responsible Offices He was . volunteer under
jackson at the battle Of NswO Orleans. He held
the United States district atsorneyship for q
considerable period, represented the city in the
State Legislature, and took o prominent part in
each Of our constitutional conventions. Grow
lug Up, al he did, with the jurisprudence Of
Tie State, personally conversant with the
history Of most Of the changes and modi6ca-
tions that have affected it during the last half
century, it is not wonderful that he held d
commanding positian .at the bar. His miad was
admirably adapted to the profession which he
embraced and adorned at once synthetic and
analy taking in the broadcast principles and
carefully treasuring up the slightest particu-
lars. He studied the law as q man is wont to
read history, not 50 much for the immediate
personal benefit that may accrue, as for an in
sight into the causes and abstruse reasons. He
compared the civil law of our own State and
time with that Of other times and States, and
both with the common law. He was as much al
home in Blackstone as Pothier or Justinian
and comprehended just as clearly the law 81
New York as Of Louisiana. This exact and
comprehensive learning was made most bril-
liantly manifest when he appeared before the
United States Supreme Court at Washington, in
behalf Of Mrs. Gen. Gaines, against the Hon.
Daniel Webster. 1t is probable that no man
can be found in the Southwest combining such
an amount Of exact and critical learning with
90 great forensic abilities a proper biography
Of John B. Grymes would be one Of the most
interesting works that could be written, 1t
would be o chapter of our State history, and
would necessarily introduce all Of our most
prominent men and measures for the last thirty
years.
~ politics Mr.. Grymes was an Independent
Democrat. He has been the nominee Of his
party on several occasions, but had d desire for
professional rather than political honor 1t
was more his ambition to shine before the bench
than in the senate. As q man, he was affable
and agreeable in his manners, fond Of the
amenities Of social life, and ready to enter into
1 all its annsements. His personal qualities,
added TO his professional reputation, gave him
large circle Of acquaintance, by all Of whom
hewas respected and esteemed The city has
sustained . severe loss in his decease, and one
which can not easily be supplied.
