V. U. Hensel in the Philadelphia Times.
Jeremiah Sullivan Black is pre-eminently
a Pennsylvanian by bleed and birth, by
education and public service. He unites
these two strains of bleed which arc the
ruling types in the rural portions of this
state the sturdy Pennsylvania German
and the energetic Scotch-Irish. He was
bem in the Glades, Somerset county, Pa.,
June 10, 1810. His father was of Scotch
Irish ancestry ; his mother of Scotch-Irish
en her father's side, as her name, Sullivan,
indicates, and of Pennsylvania German de
scent en her mother's side. Judge Black's
father, Henry Black, was a man of promi
nence in Southern Pennsylvania ; he served
in the Legislature from 1814 te 1818, was
an associate judge for a term and was a
member of the national Heuse of Repre
sentatives when he died. His son, James
Black, a brilliant intellect of rare premise,
died when young, and his daughter,
Judge- Black's only Bister, became
the wife of a Somerset merchant.
Ymm- Jerrv Black's education was deriv
ed from that admirable academic sjstcm
then prevalent in bcetcli-Irish communi
ties, which has been unhappily supplanted
by the mere popular and less thorough
normal system. At Brownsville and Stoey
town he was taught the classics and math
ematics ; in his reading the English poets
were his specialties, and the best models
of ancient and modern literature, nc had
his " schooling " by the time he was 17,
but his education was te be but fairly
begun when he left the class-room for the
farm. One of his biographers, who says
" poetry never runs a straight furrow,"
intimates that his taste of learning made
him tee indulgent in castle building, tee
fend of literary anticipations and unsub
stantial reveries, te have devoted himself
with ardor te the labors of the farm. On
thn contrary, with all the masculine vigor
that has marked him in every subsequent
position, he entered upon the rugged duties
of farm life in that early period and im
bibed a love for it which has clung te him
te this day. It has made him highly sen
sible of the poetry and grandeur of rural
life, and the importance of agriculture as
the primary occupation of man, the basic
wealth of nations. By the light of the
early morning lire he conned his " irgil
and Herace and daily committed a number
of lines in the original, which he carried
with him te his work, and at tlic intervals
of it he would take out his pocket diction
ary and translate the passages in his mem
ory. At the corners of the furrow or in
the pauses of the flail he made translations
into English prose and verse, and before
he entered upon his professional studies
he well-nigh knew by heart the whole of
these two authors m Latin and Jngnsn.
All the while leading with great assiduity
and reveling in the beauties of the Eng
lish poets, it was thus and then that he
strengthened the marvelous power of
memory which has since served him se
well. ,
He studied law withChaunccy Forward,
who was a member of Congress and a
i.wui.n,. r "Wfilter Forward, secretary of
the treasury under Tyler. He was ad
mitted te the bar in 18:51 and married his
preceptor's daughter, Miss Mary F. For
ward, when he was twenty-eight years of
a'c. She was eleven years his junior.

then just forming themselves into a sepa
rate organization. He knew their founder,
Alexander Campbell, very well, and was
baptised by him. Te this day he remains
a member of that faith and seme years
a"0 he was the orator at the unveiling of

As a practitioner before the supreme
court Judge Black has been conspicuous
for his participation in nearly all the great
cases involving the constitutionality of the
reconstruction acts. His eminent legal
ability, his courage his skill in arguing
these cases have been the brcakwatcr
a-ainst an utter judicial subversion of our
constitutional system. In the famous
Millikcn case, in which the accused were
under sentence of death from a military
commission, he spoke for three hours, dis
playing in this, probably the "greatest
effort of his life," all his leading charac
teristics as a lawyer and public speaker.
tin tnilrs te .1 court deliberately, without
any notes, cites authorities entirely from
memory, never tires the court with long
citations, but gees at once te the core el
the case. He runs the rip-saw of a great
principle through it, all the while pointing
his argument with quaint illustrations
drawn from his early rural experience and
his wide knowledge of men and things or
embellishing it with classical quotations,
applied with a fitness such as has distin
guished the oratory of no American, un
tn it he. Wnbster. His strongest position
is when assigned te sum up, after the rub
bish has been cleared away.
A stalwart Kentuckian visiting the na
tional capital during the Millikcn trial ac
cidentally StumUlCU into lUC supreme cuui b
room. He had never heard Judge Back
before and listened with the most intense
interest almost te the conclusion. He
could net contain himself after the elo
quent counsel, with all his terrible power
i,i invretlvn. had contrasted military tri
bunals with the impudent assumption of
Lela Montez in importing a pack of En
clish bulldogs into Munich te harass and
worry and tear everybody who displeased
the royal mistress of a disselute king's
fancy. As he told hew tne people unaiiy
arose and "drove out king, dogs and
strumpet," Kentucky rushed breathless
from the ceuit room ever te the Heuse
and begged the first group of congressmen
whom he encountered te "hurry ever te
the court room and hear old Jerry Black
give them hell." . .
Important as that Milliken case was in its
results te the defendants, saved from the
iudtrment of death, the service rendered in

was of a most signal character, in estab
lishing forever the irregularity ann uncon
stitutionality of military commissions in
civil cases. Judge Black was likewise of
counsel in the lameus Slaughter Heuse
causes and in most of the ether leading
noKeo involving the reconstruction laws.
vmv - e . ., -m-r i t ,
He has been attemey in tne v anaemia
will case, the McGarrahan claim, the New
Idria quicksilver mine grant, the Belknap
impeachment, the electoral contest and
many ether causes celebres. In ne-case in
which the public interests were involved,
wiinfhAr riimcfclv or wheu represented in
some one person as in the Milliken case,
has he ever taken a fee. His appearance
before the supreme court is always a sub
ject of interest and attention by the
judges; and Justice Miller, a political op
ponent, has said that " it is alway a re
lief when Judge Black rises te speak.
His arguments are as delightful as
a page from Macaulay." This same
member of the court less relished
an incident that is worth telling.
Upen one occasion, since the civil rights
laws were passed, a white man was in
dicted for killing a negre in Kentucky, and
the motion was made te transfer his case
te the federal courts for trial before a
mixed jury. Judge Black was earnestly
pressing the case upon the court for a de
cision of some mooted point, when, te
avoid judgment upon it, the court held
that it had no jurisdiction, the law in ques
tion net being applicable te a case in which
the victim was a negre and the defendant
a white man. Sauntering up the street a
few days afterwards, with a Pennsylvania
friend," Judge Black met Justices Miller
and Streng. Stepping them, and address
ing his friend that they might hear, he
said : " I want te introduce you te these
two gentlemen. They are a remarkable
pair. They are two judges of the supreme
court, who, in order te' dodge a constitu
tional point, decided that killing a nigger
did net affect him." There is a touch of
audacity about this which only he dared,
who, in his address before the electoral
commission, could hurl at that court, com
mitted in advance, the fine scorn of a dis
appointed people. Hundreds of thousands
who found no ether satisfaction from its
sittings took delight in his premise of the
"fine grinding " yet te be done, and they
wait with savage hope te see that the
"strength of the iron hand shall atone for
the delay of the leaden heel." The "thun
derous veracity" of his speech in behalf
of Belknan lav in his scathing denuncia
tien of the prevalence of efiicial bribe
taking, which made his client's offense no
exceptional crime.
Serving the People 'Without Heward.
Judge Black was in 1873 elected a mem
ber of the Pennsylvania constitutional
convention en the Democratic ticket of
delegates-at-large and he towered aloft in
that distinguished assemblage of Pennsyl
vania's representative men. In company
with Woodward and Buckalew and men
of that stamp he vigorously pressed the
legislative reforms sadly needed in the com
monwealth. His remarks en legislative
bribery, the aggressive power of corpora
tions in collusion with political rings and
kindred subjects were in his characteristic
vein and contributed mnch te the general
tone of the convention's conclusions. He
zealously supported his favorite proposi preposi
tion te administer an iron-clad, conscience
clearing oath te members of the Legisla
ture after their terms had expired, but his
colleagues would net adept it., rroics rreics rroics
sienal engagements compelled him te re
sign his seat before the convention finally
adjourned and James P. Barr was elected
in his stead.
It is a fact net generally known that
Judge Black alone most likely of all its
members served in the constitutional
convention without pay. The Legislature
originally appropriated $1,000 salary te
each member. Afterwards, when its ses
sions were longer drawn out, this appro
priation was repealed and a new one made
in bulk, leaving te the convention te make
the specifie appropriation. Judge Black
held that the convention had no power te
appropriate money, even when thus fur
nished with it. A number of his lawyer
colleagues agreed with him, but when the
convention decided otherwise they drew
their salaries. He never has taken a penny
of his, and the public never knew it bcfeie
this publication.
Te the country at large Judge Black is
known net only as an advecate, but as an
essayist of wonderful power. He has
npvfir held anv efiice. and certainly Jts
never sought any, save in the strict lineef
his profession. But he has always seemed
te be ready for every great occasion, and
no crisis ever challenged a champion of
Democracy te defend its faith, but he was
ready te enter the lists, and many a rash
antagonist has been unhorsed in the ven
r.nrenf breaking a lance with him. His
mnmerable letters te Uenrv Wilsen about'
Stanten ; te Charles Francis Adams about
Seward ; his account of the Erie law suits ;
his annihilation of Stoughten en the elec
toral fraud ; his epsn letter te Garfield ;
hi latest, contributions te political litera
ture in his first and just recently published
second articles en the third term, have ail
been monumental, net only for their irre
sistible logic, their mUsterly style of com
position and the utter demolition of the
person and object at which they were
aimed ; but each seemed te serve a special
purpose in resisting, exposing and avert
ing seme misrepresentation of his party,
seme attack upon its public men or seme
crisis threatening the country. It has
been strongly intimated that some el tne
best of Andrew Jehnsen's veto messages
were his handiwork. It is proposed at an
early date te publish a volume of these
writings te be edited iy lien, nanes iv.
Personally, Judge Black is a familiar
figure in the leadius courts of the country
and well known te visitors at the national
capital. He is about live feet eleven indies
in height, with shaggy gray eyebrows that
in repose give his feature a sternness of
expression, which is quickly melted away
in the humorous twinkle of his eyes as the
animation of expression steals ever his face,
which has never worn a beard. He is of
ruddy, healthy complexion, strong bodily
frame and erect carriage. In 1808, while
going te Galveston, Texas, in company
with soma etner tawvers aim iiuauuj
Swayne, te argue a railroad case, a weed
car that had slipped from its place en the
siding of a Kentucky railroad bumped
against the side of th passing car, in which
his right hand was lying en an open win
dew. It was very severely lnjureuumi .m.ci
careful nursing at Louisville, during.whieh
he was the object of much solicitude and
attention from the citizens, the arm was
saved from amputation at the expense of
it future usefulness. When he was told
that he would never use that arm his char
acteristic reply was: "Then I'll never
enter the prize ring." Fer a time, owing te
this disability, he traveled with a colored
body-servant, but he grew impatient at
such dependence ; " he wouldn't be de
pendent en any fellow te shave and write,
se in a few weeks, by persistent efforts and
will-power, he learned te shave himself
with his left hand and te write a clear,
beautiful back hand, his autographs new
being out in two entirely distinct chirogra chiregra
phics. In conversation or in argument he
twirls his silver tobacco box in his left
band with meat dexterity, and many
amusing and apocryphal tales arc told of
this tobacco-box and ether personal char
acteristics such as marK eniy mm ei
genius.
Among the public men of the country
there is probably no one .vheis se great a
social favorite as Judge Black, and, in the
face of his radical political principles, some
of his warmest personal friends arc his par
tisan antipodes. Garfield, Matt Carpen
ter TMriitin and Beb Inccrsell invariably
seek his company in Washington. On one
occasion, when attacked en the Democratic
siH of the Heuse. Thad. Stevens highly
eulogized him as a lawyer and a man, but
expressly withheld any indersement of his
politics, which-were as bad, he said, as
possible. In their originality, their cour
age and their inflexibility there were points
of resemblance between Stevens and Black,
though, in ether respects, the widest dis
similarity prevailed. There were no social
relatiens'between them ; the y. scarcely ever
spoke, but, up te the time of his death,
Stevens cherished the highest respect for
him, and Black has said : " When Mr.
Stevens died he was unequalled as a law
yer, and he said the smartest things that
ever were said, but his mind, se far as a
sense of obligation te Ged is concerned,
was a howling wilderness."
One day Black was surrounded by a bevy
of his pergenal friends en the fleer of the
Heuse, among the rest Judge Mcrcur,then
the Bradford congressman, who turned te
him and said : "Judge Black, you have
mere friends en this side of the Heuse than
en your own. Yeu ought te be a Repub
lican. If you would join us we would ap
preciate you and give you due promi
nence." Te which Judge Black made
reply that he knew it all te be true ; Jhc
Republicans were geed fellows ; he would
like te belong te them, and there was only
ene thing in the way. "If." said he,
"there was no hereafter I would join the
Republican purty at once. Nothing de
ters me but the fear of hell."
Judge Black's home is the beautiful
farm of "Breckie," en the right southwest
of Yerk, lying below the North Central
railroad and slenin" un te the crest of the
hill. His residence, about half way up the
hillside, is ai stately modern mansion, with
a tower, overlooking the valley and the
town of Yerk, away te the blue hills be
yond and evera beautiful landscape. Here
are his books and his law library and his
office the only one he has had, except in
his hat, for years ; he has no law partner
ship. In front of the house is a handsome
grove of the native forest trees and a line
large spring, with whose waters and the
pure abient Judge Black ever and anon
renews his youth and rigor. He revels
in "Breckie," and is a famous farmer.
All about the buildings are choice
fruit trees and grape vines in
abundance, flowers, vegetable gardens
and all the charms of country life. Besides
this farm, he has another ever in Mary
land and the "Patchwork" place m
Franklin county, formerly owned by
President Buchanan. Agricultural pur
suits arc a subject of never-ending delight
te himr and, like the ancient wrestler, he
throws himself te mother earth for new
st.ieni'th. Wearied with the strife of the
courts, he can t,e completely give himself j
up te "Breckie's" charms, that for a
month he will net even open a lettcr.Iest j
it may call him away from his farm. 'rhe
visitor who shares his hospitality in the .
twilight of these days can appreciate Jus
tice Miller's compliment. One who ,
caught him just alter he had litst read j
Tainc's English literature has told me that i
it evoked an extempore discourse from j
Judge Black en Milten and Dante which
was equal te the best efforts of the classi
cal English csssayists.
At the feet of the hill ever which
" Breckie's" fine field spread themselves,
is " Willow Bridges," the picturesque
home of his son, C. F. Black, esq., cut- i
terial contributor te the Sun, whose three I
boys, Jeremiah Sullivan, Chauncey Fer- (
ward and Jehn L. Dawsen, tell of a dis- ,
tinguished ancestry en both sides. His
son Henry is practicing law in Texas ; his ,
daughter Rebecca, formerly the wife or ,
the "brilliant and lamented James V. J
Shunk, new Mrs. Hernshy, of Wash- ,
iugten, adding her natural graces and se-,
cial accomplishments the advantages of ,
..bw(. nsuneiat.icin and svninathv with her
father's tastes, new introduces her daugh- '
ter into Washington society, of which she
herself is one of the most popular and fas
.Miiatiny members. His ether daughter is
the wife of Captain Ctayten, of the United ;
States army. Mrs. Black is well known '
in the social circles thcie her husband is ,
se courted as the embodiment of all wifely (
and' motherly viitucs. j
If any one personal characteristic of j
Black is mere striking than aiielher it is (
his omnivorous reading and his leeollee- j
tien of everything that he reads. Early j
imbibing a taste for the English classics,
the Bible, Shakespeare and Milten are at
his fingers' ends, lie knows them nearly
all by memory and can at will quote any ,
nassacre from them which m.iy be famil
iarly recalled. His knowledge of the
T-i.rlisli neet is universal : but while he
reads the masters nothing that falls in his
wav is itrnered. At the railway book stalls
and from the train ncwsbey he purchases
anything that is put at him, and is as
likelv as net te bring home a "yellow
cover" or the lighlpst fiction of the day.
Put a New Yerk Ledger into his hands
and he will read the whole of it. After
dinner he will stretch himself en the red
leather-ceveied sofa in his library, "take
a spoonful of Grete's Gicece and
read ene of Ouida's novels te take the
taste out of his mouth." But the Bible
is te his spiritual nature like Breckie
Spring te his physical, and thence he
slakes a thirst that he never lets parch
him. Orthodox, pure, simple Miristi
anity, in all its holiness, has no mere de
vout worshiper in spirit and in truth than
he, and the noblest article yet te appear
from his pen will be printed when he
gratifies the wish that has been expressed
in se manv hiirh theological quarters that
he should publish a reply te Ingersoll from i
a lawyer's and a layman's standpoint. A i
most felicitous remark lately attributed te
him is that when some one remarked in
his presence that the lines that formerly
divided people in regard te religion were
falling out, he replied : " les, and i notice
Hint thn nice distinctions between right
and wrong arc going with them."
Judge Black is no politician. He knows
none of the ways and he is tee old te learn
them if he was disposed. If anyone cher
ishes the idea that he is a malignant, dis
appointed, sour old man, full of intrigue
for place or political power, let them knew
just the reverse. Genial as he is unique ;
hopeful for the future of the republic as
he is reverent of the men of its great past ;
"walking the .mountain ranges of the
law," he sees sunlight and peace and
prosperity in the down lying valleys. In
different te personal preferment, away be
yond all consideration of selfish interests,
no man el ms age uescrves ueiici- ui un
party, but no man waits with less indi
vidual concern for its choice of a candi- I
date, for he says: "Though I have seen;
many cases of the presidential fever, have
watched with interest its malignant effects,
have seen it mere fatal than small pox or j
yellow fever, yet I may truthfully say that
I never felt the slightest touch of it."
