Georgo Davis then arose aod ad-.ir-cuir-f tl.i. rhair stated that the first Uli v'.ay ' - bufiiics befoie the metjling was the re nr f i Via i Tnmmittie on resolutions. M. Ixmdou, li i Chairman of the Com miticc. then handed tho Secretary, Da llruz CutUr. E?q , the resolutions of the committee with the request that he read them. Tbo Secretary then rctd-4he reso lutions which are as follows : Tba Members of the Wilmington Bar, cn this the twelfth day of the December term of the feuperior Court ol New Hanover county A. D. 1878. assembled at the Court House in hnor of the mem ory of the late Hugh Waddell, the oldest and one of the most distinguished of their number, sens ble that when other monu ments shall have crumblod into dast .or ccme to be disregarded by succeeding generation this solemn Memorial ot their esteem will be perused by their suc cessors at the Bar, and preserved with the records of this Court for all coming time; in .order to testify to" posterity their sense of the character and public services of the deceased do unanimous ly Iicsolve 1st, That in the death of the Honor able Hugh Waddell the Stato of North Carolina has lost a citizen of irreproach able purity of charscter, who has freanentlv been called by her best citi zens to public J stations of great honor, which be adorned by nis laienis. 2. We rejoice that after a professional life of over half a century he has been permitted by the Divine Providence to be gathered to his fathers at a ripe age and in this i k C3, which was at the same time the home of bis affections and also the theater of their action, surrounded at the last by all the blesainc which rsward the close ot a well spent and useful career, mintain- tng the example of an almost periecx me, and transmitting to his children unimpai red the priceless inheritance of an unspot ted name. 3. Resolved, that the Chairman of this meeting be authorized and requested to ask of the presiding Judge " an order to record this memorial of our departed brother UDon the minutes of the Court and a copy be delivered by him to the afflicted widow and family, at an expres sion of our sympathy in their great berave ment. At the conclusion of the reading of the resolutions, Mr. London arose and in a most feeling manner spoke as follows; Mr. Chairman: The recollection of many, very many pleasant associations connected with the past, impels me to oner my Humble tnf butes to the distinguished lawer and gen tleman who has so recently been taken from our midst, and whose death we all deplore. I shall not attempt any high wrought eulogy of our departed fr.end, I could not. if I desired to do so, on this occasion bestow the meed of praise so eminently due bis exalted worth. My acquaintance with Mr. Waddell began abeut the year 1838. He was then in the prime of manhood, and in the zenith of his power and influence in this State, for it cannot be forgotten that he in a large degree exerted both power and influence in North Carolina. At the pe riod of which I speak Mr. Waddell com manded a leading practice in his extended circuit, then known as the Hillsboro cir cuit His friends and associates at the bar were George' E. Badger, William A. Graham, Robert JB. Gilliam, John "A. Gilmer and such prominent and distin guished men of tost day, whose abilities showed forth with peculiar lustre, and it would seem to be eulogy enough to say that oar departed friend was the peer ot those.his illustrious assoeiates.1 Endowed by nature with a brilliant mind, an en gaging and commanding person, - learned as a lawyer, cultivated as a.sehoiar, grace ful and eloquent as a speaker, with a melodious voice, and a tongue teat had every grace of speach, his influence with a jury was overwhelming, and on the histings, and in ' the Senate Chamber where he so often aoDeared he command ed the attention and filled with admira tion and delight all who heard him. A more graceful and winning manner few if any possessed. Courteous and polite, bold yet gentle. be 'won golden opinions from all sorts ot TeoDle." Mis kindness of disposition, and extra ordinary powers of conversation xnadehim the admired object of every social circle. Frank, generous, brave, affable, he was, take him all in all. one of the most ac complished, corteous gentlemen of tbis broad land. I knew him well, and do know whereof I speak. None knew Hush Waddell but to admire, love and reppec him. Let us cherish his memory and strive to emulate his virtues. ai me contusion ot Mr. ixmaon s re marks, Hon. Ed ward Cant well, one ot tLe fjotnmittee, deliverel the following elo quent remarks: f - " mi. l . i. ... r me nisionin Jjancroic, on an occasion j 1 ui a - sk7f a.iaijiajg w 1 aw aa a s l4cxuln, eulogized the sacrifices of the prtbern people, during the recent civil war. At first, he says, they engaged in the struggle with a desultory energy : oppos ins uuie or no resistance beyond tue vis incrtifp of superior wealth and numbers, to the frantic valorjof a disciplined foe,andthe matchless desperation ot a people deter. mined to be free: but gradually, compre hending the magnitude of te issues inolv ed, the contest at last develcped in them a passionate patriotism, under whose lullu ence life itself seemed no longer a blessing and the care of its preservation even came to be vile. Who should desire, exclaims the creates orator of Rome, to suivive our kindred and friends ; the destruction of our country ; the demoralization of society ; the corrup tion of goernment ; the degradation of the cultured ; the extinction of public lib erty and the triumph of the base Under such conditions, Cicero tausht that the life of the humblest Roman would soon become intolerable ! And so, may it please your Honor, I imagine that when an American citizen iu whose veins beats the same faery blood in which tbis Republic was baptized, a iren tleman ot the older type and time, at the age of fourscore jears, thoughtfully ccmes to survey our pres nt coudition and the dancer which menaces our institutions. upon whose security so much of the libeity aud happiness of maukiud depend, and perceives that their preservati n rests largely upon changes and chauces which may not occur, I think that warned by the decay of public spirit, the indifference of his contemporaries to the common danger, and the exhaustion of his own natural powers, of the probable result, he misbt even be pardoned for the desire to with- draw from a struggle so nour, so disastrous and so ineT itable. At all events he may without discontent or dismay, be supposed to meet the diead messenger who comes indeed to announce the termination of bis life's journey, but takes the burden from bis back, and translates Lim, at a breath', from these scenes of sadness to the glori ous company of soldiers and apostles; the just men of all climes and ag'o, made per- iect by the life eternal. I do not mean to mil ale, Mr. Chair man, that our friend was dissatisfied, or outlived his usefulness. I mean only to say that be survived his cotemporaries, and that in his day there perished a pecu liar civilization, which was Lis delight, of which he was the ornament and the off spring, which it is impossible to condemn, without injustice, or recall witnout admira tion. It was the parent of great men and great deeds, but it has passed forever into Disuse. Like one of those mighty castles of the Rhine, a shattered relic of a past age and empire, whose broken turrets still receive the first rajs oi the morning sun, and are the last to resign his setting beams, which still invest the landscape with a sombre glow, but will never again be fitted up for a modern inhabitant ! At the conclusion of Judge Cantweli's fine eulogy, Hen. George Davis moved that the resolutions be adopted and the committee discharged. Carried. On mo tion the meeting then adjourned. Court was then convened, the sheriff making proclamation of the fact, and His Honor, Judge McKoy, resumed his place oh the bench. M. London, Esq., then moved before the court that the resolutions of the meeting of the Bar be spread upon the minutes of the court. So ordered by the Judge, and that a blank page of the dock et, with the name and date of death of the deceased be inscribed to his memory. His Honor, Judge McKoy, then, in a most solemn and impressive manner, re verted to the death of the deceased bro ther. His Honor said, in accepting these resolutions of the Bar, it tends to bind to gether more- closely the members of the profession. His Honor, in the course of his remarks,' referred to an incident that happened in Raleigh during a festive oc casion, when the question, arose and was discussed, that while immuied in he present current events of the day, what entire forgetfulness there was by those living, for those that were dead. His Honor did not agree with the distinguish ed gentleman whoihad suggested that re mark, and who was now present, for when we forget those who have departed and gone before us who have only an ticipated us by a few short years, at best it showed that all liberality of feeling And veneration for departed worth arid virtue had been crushed out. , There are certain names that still stand exalted ; though, the bodies of those who bore them have long since crumbled Into dust, they stand as some mountain peaks stand, high, prominent among all he rest, as we look back with memory s eve through the long vista of years since we parted. Their illastrious deeds can never die and their revered memory never fade while, roa; on retains Ler seat and honor and integrity are considered as virtues in human kind. In out lately departed brother we have lost a gentleman of tbe highest type, a person of a high order of intellect, and a gentleman of eloquence and re fined culture As a lawyer he maintained tae Sr&t rank among his culaborers; as a r,atriot thero ".IC iivw more devoted jto his country; while in politics he was a statesman; as h genial citizen and a compauion ycu will hear his name spoken of by those who ! knew him Intimately with the greatest reverence and affection, lie wa3 a link between the presena and tbe past. Addressing the members of the bar Ilia Honor said: You "my, brother laborers" have hid majy to pass away from among you in a very short tim. I makes me sad to enter your circle now when I thirk of the many who have so recently gone from among you. I know of no place where so many bright lights havegne out in so short a time. His Honor closed his remarks by quoting1 Geo. D. Prentiss, "Thoughts on Eter nity." wuu-o iicnoy s remarKSj were mace extemporaneously, and we have not been able to record thsrn exactly as they were delivered. In this we are sensible of doing the distinguished gentleman scarcely justice' for his words i were all very , apropos to the occasiod and at times his remarks were quite eloquent. At the conclusion of Judge McKoy 's remarks the Court adjourned. Church Services. AVors-hip in the various churches of the city to-morrow as follows ; st.

Newbern Sut Shell: O'Hara vs Kitchin, came up before Judge Sey mour on yesterday. The Counfel for the defendants, Messrs H R Bryan and Chas C Clark, filed a demurrer that it did not appear upon the com plaint that the plaintiff had any legal right to be 'enforced, or, in other words, it did not appear whether, if the votes alleged to have been thrown out illegally, were counted for O'Hara, that he would be elected, was held by his Honor to be fatal. His Honor, however, allowed the plaintiff to amend, and gave the defendants ten days to answer. PLEASE J0T1CE.
