The late Confederate Secretary o
War is exactly in his element while
settling estates of twelve : millions
whateye'r the currency, or wherever
the torum, t He . is transcendantl v a
lawyer: but of a capacitv so compre
hensiyfe as to embrace air callings in
that; At, the Louisiana bar Mr. Ben
jamin had no rjval. j He was withou

with which; Mri -Soule exercised - his

Mr. Mazereau. - He had none of that
sel-imt6rtjainCe which;' in all . distin
guished ' men, .-makes itself In some
way'.'nianife8t. But all thesei great
men in their cases, often had : wit
nesses to examine, experts it may be
with ; whose peculiar science, art or
calling; they were not familiar, and
hence, at times, 'were puzzled for
Huubuous, or emuaxrassea oy - replies
but never Mr. Benjamhx,uit was i
rare witness that knew more than he
about his own art or business, concern
ing which he came to testify. And it
mattered: nothing; what it was me
chanics,: sculpture, chemistry, belles
tettres wnetner the learning of the
schools,--theiron--:tnysteTies of the
forge, the intricacies of professiona
science, the customs and usages of
commerce and labor it was all as
one, and the young lawyer was inva
riably master of the witness. At

clerk, studied" fa w Be was formally

he might qualify as a , member of the

thing h e was aw fiaiurel-r-to tally free

of every kind. He must have- held
these in s contempt, but did tiot even
appear to do so indeed, utter freedom
from all censure or judgment UDon
his fellows, was one of the significant

did not grow" into practice or dis-
tinction at the Bar h e " stepped . into
acsiiowieagea . as iDeir peer Dy tne
foremost -professional r spirits - of the
Bar of that period. There were glantsi
in xnose aay s, too, among tnese.
Mr. iseniamin's deviation "into
politics was nolTairotrrgrowth of his
tastes, bnt of his friendship for the

excel in whatever requires subtle and
acute properties of intellect, skill and
scholarly attainment, yet in nothing
eise, as we minx, wouiu tnat excel
lence tower so grandly, and attain
such perfections as in the profession
of law. When he made - exile his
choice, it seemed to us marvellous
that Paris and the Frencli Bar were
not his elect. The French language
is as his5 vernacular, and he speaks in
it as copiously and : forcibly. 'I .'French
associations were chiefly, those , of
his professional life in : New Or
leans. Many, of his j personal and
professional friends and 1 associates
were ini Paris. In Paris, as in Louis

exile would seem , naturally to point
