10 OBITUARY. HORACE BINNEY. Longesity, when ut the end there is no decay of intel. deetual faculty and during life no moral stain, is very fmupressive. We now record the death of a man whose life stretched fur beyond the ordinary limit, has been | ne of purity and distinction, of him who but yesterday was the greatest living lawyer of the United States, dorace Binuey died at bis home in Philadelphia, tran, quilly and happily, in the ninety-sixth year of his age, His life was purely Philadelphian, and the traditional fame of its Bar seemed to crystallize around him. He lived, ag we have said, far beyond the ordinary limit of buman existence, having been born in the midst of the American Revolution. He was in his twentieth year when Wasbington died, and had been a member of the Bar for over seventy-five years, having survived not only all the contemporaries of his youth, but even his eldest son, a man sixty yeurs of age, He was of the old Bar, and thus recorded iu old age the recollections of those great men with whom he passed bis youth. “A lawyer who has lived from early life in the society of such men’ (these aro his own words) “is the happier for it through life, and especialy in old age. On all occaswns of vexation or weariness with things near at hand he can escape —at-_—pleasure— into the paths of these men, full of their influence, full also of judicial independence and dignity and full of profes- sional honor, with unlimited public respect, from which Beene the few clouds that are to be found in the clearest Bkies have been absorbed or dispelled by it, and to which the clouds of his own day, if there are any, cannot fol- fow him.” Mr.gBinney was the son of a surgeon in the Revolu- tionary army, and was born in Philadelphia on the 4th of January, 1780, His whole Life, with the exception of his absence at college, was spent there, He was gradu- ted at Harvard University in 1797, and its catalogue tells us that among those with him there, though not were Theodore Dehone, afterward Rishop of South Carolina; the great philologist, John Pickering; Dr John C. Warren, William Ellery Chan- ning and Joseph Story. Mr. Binney was @ first honor man, and though he always spoke of his Alma Mater with affection, owing perhaps to religious antagonisms, which wore strong with him, he never sent his sons to Cambridge, They were all graduated at Yale. Even when at college My. Dinney’s tendencies were to the Bar, and in a work to which we shall presently refer, written almost at the end of life, he thus recorded some of his early professional rec- ollections :—“I was familiar,” says he, “with the praise of Theophilus Parsons, in Massachusetts, while I was receiving my education at Cambridge, and am still thank/ul for the opportunity 1 enjoyed of witnessing in the Supreme Court of that State, in 1795 or 1796, an ex- hibition of intellectual gladiature of the brightest kind between Parsons, as counsel for one Claflin, indicted for blasphemy, and James Sullivan, the Attorney Gencral of the State. The blasphemy I will not repeat, but it gave Mr. Parsons an occasion or opportunity of show- ing up some of the supposed phases of Calvinistic theol- ogy, or, more accurately, sume of the opinions of writers supposed to be of that school, which gave coun- tenance, he thought, to what was charged as blasphemy, And wero, if anything cise, rather worse. 1 supposed at the time there was no help for the prisoner, and I daro Bay that, bad as any blasphemy may be, there may be found in some extreme views of very different schools of theology something quite as bad; but the marvel was to see the promptness and acuteness with which Par- sons repeated, explained, applied and enforced his Citations in the best form for his client Mp imagination fired at the spectacle of this omnis homo, a3 well versed in theology as m law, and ef as much repute for Greek as for English, se Socratic m his sdbtlety and not otherwise in his careless dress, \is purple bandana handkerchief curled loosely over his veckcloth, and his reddish-brown scratch, something wwry—he all the while pouring from under it the doc- ‘rines he had culled, aud weaving them with the subtiest Ingenuity to make a covering broad enough for his client. It wasaglory of the Bar, but the stiff old Statute was too muctrfor him. I think I recollect a part of the sentence, so strange to the ear of a Pennsyl- ia lawyer, that he should sit am hour upon the gal- ‘with a rope round his neck! Barring the rope, I should have been willing to sit there for two, not for blasphemy, but to hear a repetition of Parsons When I returned to Philadelphia I was not surprised at the reputation which was surrounding the name of Theo- philus Parsons.” These were the instincts of the early lawyer. Mr. Binney returned from college to Philadel- phia, and entered the office of Jared Ingersoll, then at the height of his professional fume, the great Philadel- phia advocate, His fellow stadent was Jon Sergeant, whom he survived and to whom he paid the tribute of his most earnest eloquence, No more beauti- ful oration of this sort is to be found anywhere. It is reported with great accuracy in Mr. Wallace’s Circuit Court Reports. This eulogy, and one about the same time on Mr. Chauncey, was interesting in the rev- elation of the man who made them, and of his views of the ideal lawyer whom they typified, They are well worth the study of every American professional man of ‘any meridian or any time. The address on the death of Mr. Sergeant ts touching and impressive in this. It was as far back as 1852 and was the tribute of a man of sev- enty-twoto one who wasa year his senior. In it he ‘said, and he kept his word, “It has been my most grate- ful and most painful duty to declaro to this Bar'upon two occasions the impressions that have been left apon me by the death of two eminent men, my own contem- poraries and dear friends. Let no one envy mo the task, however great the satisfaction may be, in a short retro- spect to myself, Henceforth no sach duty remains to me. I have uttered the last words at a Bar meeting on the departure of friends. Ihave probably tfitered my final words tothe Bar of Philadelphia, except the ex- pression of my most cordial regards and my most atfec- tionato salutations to you all.” ‘This was, in a peaceful sense aud in his natural imagining, the moriturus vos saluto, and yet, a8 we have seen, Mr. Binney lived ainety-five years, But to return to our memorial sketch. Mr. Binney @as admitted to the Philadelphia Bar on the Slst of March, 1800, He served for a single term in the State Legislature in 1806-07, then and for a long time after- ward the school of all rising lawyers. In 1810 ho be- came the reporter of decisions of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, reporting adjudicated cases from 1799 to 1814, during which time, or the most of it, they were the record of his own professional success. There had been but one experiment at reporting before this in America, Mr. Dallas’, and tho now attempt is obviously an improvement on the first. As the hero, using the Word in a classical and not in an athletic sense, of Sir James Burrows was Lord Mansfield, so was Willian Tilghman, the third Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, Mr. Binney’s ideal, and thus, at a period much later, he portrayed him. It is a perfect specimen of effective and affectionate character painting. It is Mr. Binney hun self wo quote :— Jastice’s appointment to that of his death, most of us, my brethren, have stood around him and havo wit- nessed the great work upon which his reputation rests, His life has been on the bench, his family has been the Par, his children are now before me.

He speaks of the second trial of John Fries tor high treason, and suys:—"Before a jury was empanelled for a new trial, Mr. Justice Chase, of Maryland, who was in the seat before occupied by Judge Lredell, informed the Bar that the Court had mate up their opinion upon the law of treasou involved in the case, and to prevent being mis- understood they had reduced it to writing, and had di- rected copies to be made for the District Attorney, the counsel of Fries, the prisoner and the jary, which were then banded for distribution to the Clerk of the Court, who placed them on the ‘table at the — bar. Mr. Lewis, with some deliberation and solemnity, Tose from his seat, slowly approached the papers, and lifting one of thew Ww his eyes gave a short glance at it and threw itdown npon the table, He then withdrew and retired from the place he bad occupied without uttering a word, Mr. Edward Tilghiman approached him, said a few words to hum about the innovation, und, after the transaction of some olher business, the Court adjourned for the day, the next morning, when the cause Was called, Mr. Lewis informed upon full and s« ho dee! ing as counsel for the prisoner, as the judged the law, and Mr. Dallas, his colk hunself to the same effeet, though with a tution, he said, Which he would not have felt if the Court bad not appointed him as t counsel for the prisoner, There was profound silence and ) Sensation at the bar, and the Court had no doubt been previously led to expect it, for Judge Chuse imformed the counsel thas they were not Bound by the opinion, but might contest it on both sides, and Jus a wish that al the cour id, we y deferred to Judgo ion of the Court, Chase and let the papers go ax the without any very cordial sanction, Mr, Lewis, with few but distinct and’ solemn words, replied :—"The Court has prejudged the law of the opinion of the Court has been declared, After such # declaration the counsel ave no hope of changing it, The impression of tt must remain with the jury The counsel, therefore, will not act jn behalf of the prisoner.’ The ‘effect was electric, for Mr, Lewis had the (uil sympathy of +Judge Chase, however, ‘did not dignity nor the dignity of the Bench, rejoined to the elfect that then, with God's help, the Court would be the counsel of the prisoner and would eo that he had a fair trial, Ando doubt he had a fair trial, and was convicted a second tune and sentenced to death, But the pardon that ensued was not improbably induced in part by what had happened. ‘The life of ths prisoner was saved, and the conduct of Judge Chase was made an article of ‘the Lmpeue ferred against bim by the Ho: sixteen out of thirty-four Set upon that charge the vote of gu! voted for his acquittal upon the absence of all corrupt of oppressive intention, acknowledged that the previously declared opinion of the Court had been sound in poiat of law. I was pres- ent at this seene in April, 1800, and have given it as my memory retained it,” In Febraary, 1809, Mr. Binney was admitted to the Supreme Court of the Cuited States, amd there argued the case of the Bank of the United States vs, Deveaux, repgrted in Sth Crunch, the counsel, according w the report, being, beside Mr. Binney, Robert Goodloc Har- per, Philip Burton Key, Walter Jones, Mr. Binney’s pre- ceptor, Jared Ingersoll, and Jobn Quincy Adatus, It was probably on this occasion that the Visit w Wash- ington oceurred of which in his “Memorials Uf the Ancient Bar,” speaking of William Lewis, he gave a description of the jouruey of primitive days and that in- vetorate smoker :—"Lie smoked cigars incessantly. Ho smoked wt the fireplace in court. He smoked in tho court library. He smoked in his office, He smoKed in the street, Hp smoked in ded. And he wouid have smoked in chureh, like Knockdunder, in the ‘Heart of Midlothian,’ if he had ever gone there. The servitude was unremitting, as to a most imperious master, It did not look like an accommodation to bealth or to taste, bat like submission to a conquest by external power. “The smoking in bed Was, in one instance, literally veritied by myself and my Venerable master, upon a winter Journey to the Supreme Court, at Washington, in the year 1809, when, in the days of coaching, we passed our first night at the Head of Elk; and I called Mr, In- gersoll’s attention to it, after we had got into our re- pective beds in the same large room, and the last can dle had been extiMuished, igar was seen fimng up from Mr. Lewis! pillow, and disappearing’ in darkness, like a revolving light on the coast, He was once ordere iuto the custody of the Marshal by Judge Chase, who atfected to believe that the audacity was in some inter- loper at the chimney corner of the court room; but Judge Peters explained, sotto voce, and it passed. ' The cigar did not reappear in that presence. In the Supreme Court of the State it was winked at before the time of Chief Justice Tilghman; but soon after he came to the Bench it was rel to the library. It had been tolerated the longer because no one imitated the exam- ple and it had the asserted apology of weak health." ‘Then was it that Mr. Binney made the acquaintance of Chief Justice Marshall, of whom he thus, in later life, spoke;—“His carriage in the discharge of his ju- dicial business was faultless. Whether the argument was animated or dull, instructive or superficial, the re- gard of his expressive eye Was an assurance that nothing that ought to affect the cause was lost by inattention or indifference, and the courtesy of his general manner was, only so far restrained on the bench ax was necessary for the dignity of office and fdr the suppression of famil- jarity. Mr. Binney practised in the federal Supreme Court occasionally and at long intervals. His last ce there, or, indeed, anywhere professionally being in the Girara will case, in 1844. It was an attempt, absurd and childish it now seems, but for the great professional au- thority which was invoked to sustain it, to deprive the city of Philadelphia of the benefit of Mr. Girard’s de- Vise, on the ground of the supposed irreligious etfect of the testator’s of charity. The counsel of the claimant were the present Judge Cadwalader, Mr. Bin- ney’s son-in-law, Walter Jones and Daniel Webster, and of the city of Philadelphia, John Sergeant and Horaco Binney. The working oar was Mr. Binney’. Mr. Webster made a great oration, almost a sermon, on the Christian religion, Mr Binney exhausted the argument on the great subject of charitable Vequests. The Court unanimously, and they said so with emphasis, sustained not the orator, bat the lawyers, and Mr, ‘Binney retired from the Bar with a proud consciousness of having done his duty slity and gratitude to his birthplace. Whether ently thanked him and bis col- © do not know, but there is a twang of the con- sciousness of injustice in the words we tnd in one of Mr. Binney’s later writings. ‘There is no excuse,” he for a great city for indifference to the really great talents that ure sometimes found in connection with them, and this ig the fault referred Wo, that Philadelphia hus been hitherto, and perhaps immemorially, indilfer- ent or insensible to the abilities of her sons, who have gained thetr first public consideration elsewhere, She is Wanting in civic personality, or what is perhaps a Detter phrase for the thought, a family unity or iden tity. She does not take, and se never has taken, sat- istuction in habitually honoring her distinguished men as her men, as men of her own family. It ts the city that is referred to, ns distinguished, perhaps, from the rest of the State. has never dene it in the face of the world as Charleston has done it, as Richmond has done it, as New York has done it, or, atleast, did it in for- mer Umea, and as Boston did it, has done it, and will do it foreve She is more indifferent to her sons than she is to strangers; and this, perhaps, may be the rea. son why other parts of the State so muct more readily advance their own mon to public office and distinction? Lot it be remembered that this is no reference to politi« cal disparagement, for, ns we shall see, Mr. Binn aspirations in that direction were very fecble, Ln 1522 Chief Justice Tiighman died, and by common consent Mr. Binney was chosen us his eulogist. That eulogy hes before us as we write, and its carnest, pious words of eloquence still sound in the ears of him who heard the culogy and pow pens these lines of grateful mem- ory. Lawyers of to-day may read with reverence these words:— “Phe first great property which his decisions disclose is his veneration of the law, and, above all, the funda mental common law.

That corporation took a further step. It propased to pay the interest on its debt in paper. At this Mr. Binney, deeply interested in the fair tame of bis native city,’ revolted, and printed a pamphlet, or series of letters, so earnest and so able tut the danger was averted. What on a greater scale he has lived to see In the issue of inconvertible er by the federal government we need not say. Vith a{f his liberal constitutional views, Mr. Binney was from first to last steadfast in his opposition to the legal tender hei mye and it must have been a sharp r pang to him to see his own and his dead son’s cherished Burk Gazelle, Duntze, Point-a-Pitre, Guad—H Trowbridge’s Classmate, Judge Strong, of the Supreme Court, lend | SPS. . 3 himself to this outrage. iP Pcs Jens Nielsen (Nor), Holst, Philadelphia—C Tobias & Kindred to this wus Mr- Binney's opposition (a vain | ‘Tiris, SN Hansen (Sor), Knudsen, Gloucoster—Punch, Edtye & Co. “Brig Maria Lulgi $ (Ital), Bagne, Marseilles—Slocovich & one us it proved) to manicipal subscriptions to public improvements.

When our day of agony came, in the form of civil war, inittate and consummate, none familiar with Mr. Binncy’s opinions and coiservative politics could doubt on which side be would be found. He was for the Union and the federal government from first to last, He guve eflicient support to the administration of the day; he seemed to rejvice, not at what had happened— for he was too Christian a man for that—but that his ancient notions of federal coercive power were to be realized. It was the triumph of his long dormant Hamiltonianism. It may without offence be said that it carried him too fur, as we do not doubt he himself thought, and led him at the close of life to the commis- sion of a grave wrong, utterly indefensible. In the early part of the war Mr. Binney published a pamphlet asserting the absolute right of the Executive, of his own motion and without the co-operation of Cong! to suspend the right of habeas corpus.
