REMARKS OF HON. GEO. R. CALVERT u
PRESENTING THE RESOLUTIONS, &C.
May it please the Court.
1t is my melancholy duty to formally
announce that the grim Messenger b att
served another summons, from the 10
finite, to come to Judgement ; another
distinguished Virginian has passed from
this house to return no more forever
again this stricken bar has been called
with bowed aud reverent hearts, to beal
a brothers body to the silent Tomb -
Within the last few years Death batl
committed fearful rayage in our small
fraternity. The chivalrous David Walton
whose life illustrating all that is brave
and beautiful and good, would read like
poem on truth and duty; the fatherll
Noses Walton, who combined the efficient
lawyer. the courteous gentleman and the
devoted and consisted Christian, IN one
complete character the learned and &C
complished jurist and gentleman, Mari
Bird, who added lustre to the spotles
ermine which be so worthily wore Henri
C. Allen who stood like tower among
his fellows, and now the strangely gifted
bright and genial leader of men, Harrison
Holt Riddleberger,-one by one, hav
passed down through the valley of thu
shadow of death aud have crossed ovel
the river to rest. We have buried, sucl
IN reflections and infrmities as they had
in the graves, with the bodies which
caused them! Who shall set bounds, Il
the infinite, to the immortal soul, an
who shall presume tc judge those wnic
returned to their Creator Let US cher's
} their many virtues, and may the mem
cries of them ever be to as as sad an
= sweet as the mellow moon beams whic
, rest so tenderly on their graves.
1t was my privilege and pleasure to b
the intimate personal friend OF II. /
Riddleberger for nearly thlr6y years; ali

extent of my ability, to every forwar
step on his brief bat brilliant caree
