principles OF ethics upon which the law re-
poses, and his discussion of great questions
were marked by a breadth of view and a
philosophic method rarely excelled. AS an
advocate, in awakening the sympaties, in
arousing the passions, in convincing the
reason, he had no superior. The memory
of his eloquent tongue, OF his touching ap-
peals, and of those powerful bursts of I'M
studied and overwhelming eloquence which
swept all before them, will be embalmcd in
the traditions OF the bar for the emulation
and encouragement of those who follow us.

der Wise with profound sorrow, and that

REMARKS OF JUDGE CRUMP.
Judge Crump, IN presenting the preamble
and resolutions, said he had known General
Wise for forty years-eyer since the speak
er's college lifc-and to enlarge upon his
public career would be to write the history
Of the United States. He then spoke Of the
traits Of character which endeared the de-
ceased to all who knew him. He had never
known more public-spirted man. He
never had known him in all his long ac-
quaintance to be guilty Of an act in which
he had self in view; and in referring to his
devotion to Virginia, he remarked that he
had ever been ready to do battle against any
foe the old mother had.
The speaker said he cared not who had
differed with General Wise in opinion, there
|
upon his grave, and say, "There lies pa
eyervwhere.' Referring to the Generals
kindness, he said that larger-hearted or
more tcnder-hearted man never lived. To
those who needed friend his heart was
ever open. 1t was for these reasons that
there was universal sorrow at his death. He

tions were then unanimously agreed to.
