Prepared and sold by ANDREW G. FP.EY, DRUGGIST, 29 E. Orange St,, Cor. Christian, apr27-lyd&w Lancaster, Pa, JUDGE BLACK. UKATU OF THE GREAT tlWVEK. The Career el an Kuilnent Penniylvanian sit the Itar, On the Uencn. ana in the Cabinet Character and Pri vate Lire. A special dispatch from Yerk te the Intelligencer early en Sunday morning announced that Judge Black bad died at 2:15 a. m., and his funeral would be held en Tuesday at 5 o'clock. The 'Buccussive operations which had been performed npen him for bladder troubles had been attend ed with danger, culminating in bleed poisoning, which occasioned his death. Jeremiah Sullivan Black was pre emi nently a Pennsylvanian by bleed and birth, by education and public service. He united these two strains of bleed which are the ruling types in the rural portions of this state the sturdy Penn sylvania German and the energetic Scotch Irish. He was born in the Glades, Somer set ceunty.tPa., Jane 10, 1810. His father was of Scetch-Itish ancestry ; his mother of Scotch-Irish en her father's side, as her name, Sullivan, indicates, and of Pennsyl. vania German descent en her mother's side. Judge Black's father, Henry Black, was a man of prominence 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 Representatives when he died. His son, James Black, a brilliant intellect of rare premise.died when young, and h'13 daughter, Judge Black's only bister, became the wife of a Somerset merchant. Yeung Jerry Black's edu cation was derived from that ad ad mirable academic system then prevalent iu Scotch-Irish cemmuuitict:, which has been supplanted by the mero popular and less thorough normal system. At Browns Brewns vuib itiiJ Stocytewn he was taught the classics and mathematics ; in his reading the English poets were his specialties, and the best models of ancient and medern literature He 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 iu a straight furrow," intimates that his taste of learn ing made him tee indulgent iu castle building, tee fend et literary anticipations and unsubstantial reveries, te have devoted himself with ardor te the labors of the farm. On the contrary, with all the mas mas culine vigor that lias marked him in every subsequent position, he entered upon the lugged duties of farm life in that early pericd and imbibed a leve for it which clung te him te his late't day. It made him highly sensible of the poetry and grandeur of rural life, and the importance of agri culture a3 the primary occupation of man, the basic wealth of nations. By the light of the early merniDg fire he conned his Virgil and Herace, and daily committed a number of lines iu the original, which he cairied with him te his work, and at the intc; vals of it he would take out his pocket dictionary aud translate the passages in his mcmeiy. At the coruers of the furrow, or in the pauses of the flail, he made trans lations into English piese and verse, and before he entered upon his professional studies he well nigh knew by heart the whole of these two authors in Latin and Eufrlisb. All the whtle reading with great assiduity and reveling in the beauties of the English poets, it was thus aud then that he strengthened the marvelous power of memory which afterwards served him se well. He studied law with Chauncey Forward who was a member of Congress aud a brother of Walter Forward, secretary of treasury under Tyler. He was admitted te the bariu 1831 and married his precep tor's daughter, Miss May F. Forward, when he was twenty- eight years of age. She was cloven years his junior. About tbe same time he embraced the religious faith of the "Disciples of Christ," or "Campbellitep," who were then just form ing themsclvcs into a separate organiza tion. He knew their founder, Alexander Campbell, very well, and was baptized by him. He icmainud a member of that iaith aud sonie years age he was the orator at the unveiling of the bust of Campbell iu Bethany college, Wes ' Virginia. Accession te the Uencb. Rapidly rising te eminence in the prac tice of the law he was appointed, in 1842, by Governer Peiter, president judge of the Franklin, Bedford and Somerset district (Blair and Fulteu counties after their creation being included in it.) Fer nine years he served the people of that district, his fame gradually spreading beyond its borders, his opinions attracting attentien for their vigor and judicial ripeness and his popularity increasing by reason of his rare social qualities, for the oxcrcise of which enlarged duties furnished new cc casien. The country was then thinly settlcd and the modes of travel were primi tive. Judge Black reGe en horseback fiem Somerset te Bedford, from Bedford te McCeuucllfcburg aud thence te Cham bersburg. His arrival at each place was an event of interest beyond the opening of court. It was during this period that his eulogy en Jacksen, delivered at Bedford, attracted wide notice and comment. Under the constitutional amendments making judges ole'etive he was chosen with Lewis, Gibsen, Lewery and Coulter, te the supreme bench, and, the respective lengths of terms being decided by let, he drew the short term of three years, which made him chief justice at once, aud in 1854 he was reelected by a large majority, the wave of Kuow-Nethingism then sweeping ever the laud never reaching the hem of his robe. His decisions are orna ments te the reports and are familiar te lawyers, being distinguished by all the virility of his later style. His eulogy en Gibsen has long been famous as oue of the most eloquent of forensic efforts. When did orator mero gracefully blend modesty et s 'f allusion with high praise te his subject than in this sentence : " When he was nominally superseded by another as the head of the court his great learning, ven erable character and overshadowing repu tatien still made him the only chief whom the hearts of the peeple would knew." The eulogy is classic. It has long been upheld as a model of composition and at i that day took its'place in the readers as a model ler the schools. In The Cabinet. After two years of service in the term of fifteen years for which he was re elected and when Mr. Buchanan was elected presi dent, he called Judge Black from the bench te his cabinet as legal adviser, and he continued in that position until Decem ber, 18G0, when he became secretary of state, and se remained until the end of Mr. Buchanan's term. As attorney' gen eral of the United States his most conspic uous services were reudercd in tbe protec tion of the settlers under government patents in California against fraudulent land grants, purporting'te be of Mexican origin. In the treaty due respect te genuine original Mexican grants had been guaranteed, and this offered great incen tive te the fabrication of bogus grants, against which the government interposed te protect the settlers under its own patents. Attorney General Black wen all these eases', for the government and its settlers ; he exposed the forger; and per jury of the false witnesses, settled the principles by which the courts were guided in their judgment and prepared for the ready usa of the court a huge chart of the professional witnesses who were relied en te swear the cases through. The city of San Francisce was cevered three deep with these bogus grants, and Attorney General Black saved the city from confiscation. It was his association with him iu these cases that directed Black's attention te Edwin M. Stanten, and when he took the portfolio of state it was at his suggestion that Mr. Buchanan appointed Stanten at torney general, mainly with a view te a successful continuance of the defense of the California patents, which Mr. Stanten skilfully carried en. As secretary of state Judge Black made vigorous opposition te the secession move ment. He led the Northern wing of the cabinet in favor of reinforcing Fert Sum ter. He issued instructions te our foreign representatives te recognize no disintegra tion of the republie, declaring that the union of the states was indestructible and indissoluble. The ruling principle of his political action in all his public services and declarations has consistently been that our constitutional system recognizes, each in its integrity and all in iudestructi bio harmony, the rights of the states, the just powers of the general government aud the liberties of the people. Who threatens the vitality of any one of these threatens disunion ; te preserve all bar- monieusly i3 te " sava the life of the nation." Choice of a Homestead. After his retirement from a cabinet oGQce his first impulse was te return te his native state te take up the practice of law. He was appointed reporter of the U. S. supreme court and issued two volumes of reports, when his practice increased se rapidly and se suddenly crowded in upon him that he was compelled te resign his plac?, and since then probably no lawyer of the land has had a larger practice be fore the highest judicatory within its borders. After several years rcsidenca in Washington seeking a home in Pennsyl vania he finally selected Yerk as a place of residence, cheesing it as mere central than any ether te the four points of his chief professional interests New Yerk, Philadelphia, Washington and Harrisburg. Mr. Buchanan was anxious that he should come te Lancaster and earnestly pressed him te buy and live at Abbeyville, the former home of Langden Cheves, new the Ilager homestead. 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 cour age and skill in arguiug these cases were the breakwater against an utter judicial subversion of our constitutional system. In the famous Milliken case, in which the accused wcre under scatence of death from a military commission, he speke for threo hours, displaying in this, probably the " greatest effort of his life," all hi3 load lead ing characteristics as a lawyer and a pub liu speaker. He talked te a court deliber ately, without any notes, cited authority entirely from memory, never tired the court with long citations, but went at ence te the core of the case. He ran the rip saw of a great principle through it, all the while pointing his argument with quaint illustrations drawn from his early rural experience aud his wide knowledge of men and things or embellishing it with classical quotations, applied with a fitness that has distinguished the oratory of no Americau unless it be Webster. His strongest position was when assigned te sum up, alter the rubbish had all been cleared away. The Recerd el a Great Lawyer Important as the Milliken ease was in its results te the defendants, saved from the judgment of death, the service rcn dcied in it by Judge Black te the whele country was of a most signal character, iu establishing forever the irregularity and unconstitutionality of military commis sions in civil cases. Judge Black was likewise of counsel in the famous Slaughter Heuso causes and in most of the ether leading cases involving the reconstruction laws. He was attorney in the Vanderbilt will case, the McGarrahau claim, the New Idria quicksilver mine grant, the Belknap impeachment, the electoral oentost and many ether causes ce'ebrcs. In no case in which the public interests were involved whether directly or when represented iu seme ene person,as in the Milliken case.did he ever take a fee. His appearance before the supreme court was always a subject of , interest and attention by the judges ; and Justice Miller, a political opponent, has said that "it is always a relief when Judge Black rises te speak. His argu ments are as delightful as a page from Macaulay." Iu his address before the electoral commission, he hurled at that court, committed in advance, the fine scornef a disappointed people. Hundreds of thousands who found no ether satisfac tion from its sittings took delight iu his premiso of the " fine grinding" yei te be done, and they wait with savage hepe te see that the "strength of the iron Laud shall atene for the delay of ths leaden heel." The "thunderous veracity" of his speech in behalf of Belknap lay iu his scathing denunciation of the prevalonce of official bribe taking, which made his client's effense no exceptional crime. Servluc ti9 Peopie Without Uewara. Judge Black was in 1873 elected a mem ber of the Pennsylvania constitutional convention en the Democratic ticket of delegatC3-at-!arge and he towered aloft iu 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 commonwealth. His remarks en legisla tive bribery, the aggressive power of cor porations in collusion with political rings and kindred subjects were in his charac teristie vein and contributed much te the general tone of the" convention's conclu sions. He zealously supported his favor ite preposition te administer an ironclad, conscience clearing oath te members of the Legislature after their terms had ex pired, but his colleagues would net adept it. Professional engagements compelled him te resign his seat before the conven tion 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 siens were longer drawn out, this-appropriation was repealed and a new ene made in bulk, leaving te the convention te make the specific appropriations. Judge Blaek held that the convention had no power te appropriate money, even when furnished with it. A number of his A law yer colleagues agreed with him, but when the convention decided otherwise they drew their salaries. He never took a penny. In JLUaratare. Te the country at large Judge Black was known net only as an advocate and publicist, but as an essayist of wonderful power. He never held any office, and cer tainly never sought any, save in the strict line of his profession. But he always seemed te be ready for every great occa sion, and no crisis ever challenged a cham pion of Democracy te defend its faith but be was ready te enter tue lists, and many a rash antagonist was unhorsed in the venture of breaking a lance with him. His memorable letters te Henry Wilsen about Stanten : te Charles Francis Adams about Seward ; his accounts of the Erie law suits bis annihilation of Stoughten en the electoral fraud ; his open letter te Garfield ; his contributions te political literature en the third term, wcre monu mental net only for their irresistible logic, their masterly style of composition aud the utter demolition of the person and ob ject at which they were aimed ; but each seemed te serve a special purpose in re sisting, exposing and averting seme mis representation of his party, seme attaek upon its public men or some crisis threat ening the country. It has been strongly intimated that some or the best of Andrew Jehnsen's veto messages wero his handi work. His account of the secession move ment in its relations te Buchanan's cabi net ; his articles en Ingersoll ; his argu ments en the anti Mermen law ; and his speeches en the Irish question, en freight discriminations and ether corporate abuses are part of the literature of the land con spicueus as the most virile English writ ing of the day. In Secial 1.1(0. Personally, Judge Black was a familiar figure in the leading courts of the country and well-known te visitors at the national capital. He was about five feet eleven inches in height, with shaggy gray eye brows that in repose gave his features a sternness of expression, quickly melted away in the humorous twinkle of his eyes, or as the animation of expression stele ever his face, whieh never were a beard. He was of ruddy, healthy complexion, strong bodily frame and erect carriage Iu 18G8, while going te Galveston, Texas, in company with some ether lawyers and Justice Swayne, te argue a railroad case, a weed car that had slipped irem its place en the siding of a Kentucky railroad, bumped against the side of the passing car in which his right hand was laying ou an open window. It was very teverely in jured and after careful nursing at Louis ville, during which he was the object of much solicitude and attention from the citizens, the arm was saved from amputa tion at the expense of its future usefulness. When he was told that he would never use that arm .his characteristic reply was : "Then I'll never enter the prize ring." Fer a time, owing te this disability, he traveled with a colored bedy-servant but he grew impatient at such dapendence ; he "wouldn't be dependent ea any fellow te shave and write," se, in a few woeks, by persistent effort 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 iu two entirely distinct chiregraphics. In conversation or in argument he twirled his silver tobacco box in his left hand with great dexterity, and many amusing and apechryphal tales are told of this tobacco box and ether personal characteristics such as mark only men of genius. Among the public men of the country thcre is proba bly none'who was scrca4; a social favorite as Judge Black, aud, in the face of his radical political principles, seme of his warmest personal friends wero his partisan autipedes. Judge Black's home was the beautiful farm of "Breckie," en the ridge south west of Yerk, lying belew the North Central railroad and sloping up te the crest of the hill. The residence, about half way up the hill side, is a stately modern mansion, with a tower.evcrlooking the valley and town of Yerk, away te the blue hills beyend and ever a beautiful landscape Here are his books and his law library and his office the only ene he had, except in his hat, for years ; he had no law partnership. In front of the heuse is a handsome grove of the native forest trees and a fine large spring, with whose waters and the pure ambient air Judge Black ever aud anon renewed his youth and vigor. He reveled in " Breckie," and was 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 had another ever in Maryland and the "Patchwork " place in Franklin county, formerly owned by President Buchanan. Agricultural pur suits wcre a subject of never-ending delight te him, like the ancient wrestler, he threw himself te Mether Earth for new strength. Wearied with the strife of the courts, he could se completely give him self up te " Breckie's" charms, that for a month be would net even open a letter, lest it called him away from his farm. The visitor who shared his hospitality in the twilight of these days can appreciate Justice Miller's compliment. One who caught him just after he had first read Taine's English literature said that it evoked an extempore discourse from Judge Black ea Milten and Dante which was equal te the best efforts of the classical English essayists. At the feet of the hill ever which " Breckie's" line fields spread themselves is "Willow Bridges," the picturcsque home of his son, C. F. Black, lieutenant governor whose three boys, Jeremiah Sullivan, Chauncey Forward and Jehn L. Dawsen, have a distinguished ancestry en both sides. His son Henry is practicing law iu Texas ; his daughter Rebecca, formerly the wife of the brilliant and lamented James F. Shunk is new Mrs. Hornsby. His ether daughter is the wife of Captain Cleyton, of the United States army. Mrs. Black is well known in tbe social circles where Ler husband was se courted as the embodiment of all wifely and motherly virtues. A Master of All Literature If any one personal characteristic of Judge Black wa3 mere striking than an ether it was his omnivereus reading and bis recollection of everything that he read. Early imbibing a taste for the English classics, the Bible, Shakespeare and Mil Mil eon were at his fingers' ends. He knew them nearly all by memory and could at will quote any passage from them which may be familiarly recalled. His knowl edge of the English poets was universal ; but while he read the masters nothing that fell iu his way was ignored. The Bible was te his spiritual nature like Breckie Spring te his physical, and from its pages he slaked a thirst that never parched him.
