AS many Of our readers as were acquainted
with the piety, the benevolencc, the patriot
ism, and the distinguished devotedness to the
cause of emancipation, which characterised
the life of the venerable John Jay. will most
readily account for our inserting the following
tribute to his memory.


SUPERIOR COURT, Tuesday May 49,,
1929. At the opening Of the court this morn
ing, his honor, Chief Justice Jones address
ed the following remarks to the Bar:


Information has just been communicated to
the judges of this Court, Of the death of the
venerable JOHN JAY. When we consider the
distinguished stations In life which have been
occupied by this excellent man, with so much
honor to hilnself and benefit to the public
while we remember the ability with which he
discharged his duties, when called upon to re-
present his country in diplomatic character
when we view him upon the bench of the
Supreme Court Of the United States, as the
first Chief Justice under the Federal Constitu-
ton, presiding with the most entire dignity,
intelligence, and impartiahty-and above all,
when we look upon his bright example as
man and Christian, the first impulse of every
generous and rejecting mind, is to regard his
death with sorrow, and his memory with the
deepest respect, Few men in any country.
perhaps scarce one in this, have filled larger
space, and few ever passed through life, with
such perfect purity, integrity and honor No
man can point to a stain upon his character or
~ n ho
In any of the high stations which he so en-
lnently filed; and when we look back unon
his career, we see nothing but brightness on
his path.


This great man thus honored, thus distin-
guished, thus lamented, has passed away from
among us.


On the day when this deep felt loss is com
municated 10 those who knew him well, and
with whom to remember is but to honor him.
it is suitable that the ordinary business oflife
should give place 10 considerations which are
suggested by this melancholy event.


The Judges of this Court therefore will not
proceed to-day in the business for which they
are assembled {: but direct an adjournment un-
til tomorrow.


The Supreme Court also adjourned for the !
day and the Members OF the Bar had meet |
ing for the purpose of passing resolutions suit
able to the occasion. A committee was ap
pointed to draft resolutions, and report to an
adjourned meeting to be held at t. a. at
which hour the members re-assembled, and
James Ialimadge, Esq. Chairman Of the |
committee appointed In he morning, reported |
the following preamble and resolutions, which !
were unanimously adopted:
The Committee respectfully Reported


That the recent decease Of the late vencra- /
bic JOHN JAY, is the cause Of deep grief
and the present engrossing subject Of private
and public feeling.
