NUW YORK'S GREAT LOSS. An Eminent Lawyer and an Unobtrusive Philanthropist. Jotham Smith, the Editor. The Jeath of James T. Brady yesterday morn- tog (cll upon the bench, the bar, and upon our entire sommunity with startling suddenness. So late as Pritay he had appeared to the foram with woabated bowers Mr. Brady was s native of this city, about Bfty five years of age, ant war admitted to the bar @ of s contury ago, lis futher wae an Irish im- t, © genial and witty gentleman, familiarly Known to his contemporaries ax Counsellor Brady. ‘The son has held a conspicuous place at the bar of Uhia city and State, and for the last twonty years has stood In its foremost rank. Though he has bad and perhaps Fnpertors, In either of the two fn greater triumphs, either as @ civil or erimi- ‘nal lawyer, ‘Mr, Brady was one of the connecting links between the young attorneys just admitted to the bar and the ‘old lawyors of the era of Kent, Williams, Wells, and ‘Tabeott, He signed the rolls while these worthies ‘Wore laying off thelr robes. He wat toward tho head of the profession whi Ow Storrs, Griffin, Lord, and Duer were in the Nurity of thelr fame, Me bas seea many of his easociates, Like Ogden Hofimen, Hill, Graham, Sand- ford, snd Noyes, pass through the veil, leaving bim fin tho full Mush of bis powers, At Inst lie has euc- amber to the exhausting labors of @ vocation that taxos the tatellect, the patience, the cang the mag- Betism of its devotves beyond that of any kindred Profession Mr, Brady was a well read and thoroughly tratned lawyer, Excited Hibernians who saw him in bis younger days on the rostram, uttering anathema: against Ko, |. glowing with paston, or cultivated laymen who, at later periods, hove witnessed his babbling humor and sparkling wit wt the social board, were not aware how calu he appeared at the bar, and bow self-polsed his inanner was when en- countering an adverse turn ina hard ¢ and tn what good natured tones he cross-examined a per: 19 witness, And In how neighborly and confiding © way ho talked to a jury whom he would conx and Cee over to his side, In this latter particular his nfiincr was the exact opposite of that of another emiucu! advocate, the late Rufus Choate, who swept jurica from their moorings with a tempest of im- paasioned rhetoric, and carried them whithersorver 0 willed ander a prodigious press of oratorical eanyas Hidion under the unruMed extertor of Mr. Brady thot usually lay concealed a painstaking acquaint. foce with the law and f.cts of the coutroversy In aac!, aud a thorough preparation to mect its exigen- jon fo this regard Brady and Chonte belonged to tho same school, for never was there a lawyer tn Whose presence it was more dongerous for an ad- Vorairy to be off his guard than in that of tho bril- Waut advocate who fell at the head of the Boston bor Both of these distingulshed barristers displayed marvellous skill in drawing from jurtes the mort {l- logical and absurd verdicts, The achievement of Choate in convincing a staid Boston jury that his client, Tirrell, cut the throat of his mistress, Maria Biokford, and then sct her house on fire and fled from the secu to a remote part of the city and bired @ carriage and rode cut of town, while in a fit of Somnambullam, found its counterpart in. the more recent achievement of Bray la convincing a sober Albany jary that Gen. Cole was perfectly sane at one accond past 7 of the clock, and perfectly save at three seconds past 7, while during the intervening socond be was so hopelessly insane that he was not eapousible before the law for th€ shouting of Mr, Hlscook. Mr. Brady was an independent Demoerst, a thor ough patriot, and stood firmly by the country duri tte {ato perils, He was a liberal-minded, large: hearted, urbane, and generous gentleman, His com- mandtng presence will be missed in our metropol to whoso citizens his person was generally known, ‘and among whom he woe highly respected snd uui- vorsally poputar, On Sunday forenoon Mr, Brady was seized with paralysis, sod on Monday he became apeschions, and early yesterday morning he was utterly nncousclo eo 60 remained until his death, Mr. Brady was at one ume Connsel to the ‘poretion, and for a brief period also District Attorney, He never sought nor ‘accepted office, although he was several times offered the mayoralty, and ran for Governor in 190), No man of his age had been engrged in 60 mony cases of note nate. Inthe celel d Goodyear India Rub- ber case be was associated with Daniel Webster, and made the opening speech, which was considered a woaaterpicce of eloquence even by that eminent man, In the case of the trisl of City Judge Sidney A. ftaat, charged with bribery in receiving $500 from the wife of a convict nicknamed “BuMlo Bill,” domes T. Brady wae the junior counsel, James R. Whitney and Mr. Stoughion being the others, In this he volunteered his services, and bis cross-exami- gation of the wife of the convict, who swore against Judge Stuart, will long be remembered, and when after two days hie permitted her to leave the stand, evory one felt that the Judge was safe, The present Mayor was then District Attorney, but being a wit ‘peas in the case, Samucl B. Cutting prosecuted, Mr, Brady's cross exam! fon of Mr, Hail, too, when * Grock met Greek,” was certainly a masterpiece of sbrategy. On Friday last he argued bis last motion in the will case of Gregory axt, Ciregory, and on the sam day mado a motion to put off the case of Thomas C, elds 94%. Daniel Devlin, and attended a reference in a divorce suit on the same day, Mr. Brady was eouncel for Jefferson Davis, and for Mre, Davis also, Ta 1996 he was made a Mason. At the opening of all the courts yesterday, eulogies were provounced upon his character and servile © lawyer and a Christian gentleman, afer which ther was a general adjouriiment until this morning, ‘The (unoral will take place on Thursday, and amocting of the bar is to be held on Saturday, JAMES COOPER LOMD, THE PIILANTHMOPIST, Me, James Cooper Lord, the philanthropist, died at Po'clook yesterday morning.

The only question debated at this morning's session was that a8 to the mode of submilting the article relative to the qualified suffrage of colored per- tone, Ityis not a little remarkable that here, as else- where, nothing la 60 gure to lead to protracted nd earnest discussion as the status of tho negro.

The absolutely destitute condition of bie family rendered thie an act of justice, The only evidence implicating him tm the crime was the testimony of the negro boy Glouerster, who hee twico identifed Tallant as the compenton of the a fassin, Soon.alter the arrival of Mayor Mall and Jutge Bedford in the station house, the rattling of keys and the elnnzing of iron doors snnouneed the approach of the prisoners, James Logan No. amined, As the prisoner entered the room he looked at Mayor Holl tn evident surprise, but pald no attention to Judge Bedford, evidently taking bin for A personage ofno account, When giving bis testimony he seomed much Interested tn the movements of the stenogeapler's fingers, and at times it seemed didl- cult for the Mayor to keep Logan's miud on tho tm- portance of the questions which he was answer tng. Hosald that on Saturday, Jan, 9, he brother Informed him that the papers were moking an tn mense fuss over bis name in connection with the Rogers murder, and that the Mayor had offered a reward of $3,000 for bis arrest, Ho was told that the police had been looking for him ovor a week. He thought it strange that they had not foond bly he had regularly attended to his business every day, and he was certain that he had done nothing that shonld eause him to make an attempt At personal concealment, Under the elreume stances, lho thought that the best thing could do would be to go tor the $9,000 himself, His Drother-In- law, Jobn MeManus, urged hin to do th Accordingly, on that evening they entered the Twen- tleth Precinct Biation, and banding « newspaper to the sergeant, containing the proclamation, suid that was the first he had known of the attempt to arrest him, and thereupon ho aurvendered himecif ap to the Authoritios, Mo professed his Innocence of the murder, saying that he surrendered because he pre ferred that course to awaiting an arrest, ‘As to the letter found in the portion of the coat torn from bis assailant by Mr. Ro, whieh wae addressed, “Jawes Logan, Cytty"), his ¢ was as follows: While in Sing Sing, from whieh prl- ton Le was discharged not long e had worked outelde in the quarries, and am te workers ng out it was sometiines possible to seud letters hy means of chance pasengers, withont to knowlege of the prison chaplain, throvg whose hands the regulations required that all correspondence should pass, He was, therefore, iuciiuod to think that the letter had been sent to him by some of his quondam associates, and that Tom" ad neglected to deliver It, or had become involved tu this trouble dofore he had time to do Fo His story sgrood perfectly with the ono alrondy told by him, After a few iuriher unimportant ques tions he was remanded. James Logan No. 9 was then brought before tho Mayor and the Judge, His answers were straight- forward , and did not dificr from the story whieh he han told before, He ald that the police arrested him on the street on the morning of Jan. 1%, Me was employed In the stabios of the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Railroad Company, and was golng to his work when arrested, He knew nothing of the murder.

So much for the Mast scene in the Rogers murder, Every offictal weoms to be satisfied that the real mur- derer is among those arrested, but his lips and those fof bis accomplice are scaled, and no definite proof can be raked up against him, In the meontine the interest of the public, which, during the past week, bad measurably subsided, seems to have revived.
