Remarks of Chicf Justice Drake and Others. A meeting of the bench and bar of the Court of Claims was held im the court-room at 11 o'clock to-day, and Mr. R. W. Corwine called the meeting to order. Chief Justice Drake was called to the chair, and Mr. Archibald Hopkins, | the clerk of the court elected secretary. | _ Chief Justice Drake, on taking the chair, addressed the meeting as follow: REMARKS OF CHIEF JUSTICE DRAKE. The occupant of the most exalted judicial station known to this country has closed an honorable life of more than and five ears, aml we are among the many thousands of bis mourners to-day. Among all those thou- sands very few had known Salmon P. Chase a* long asl had. Next month will be fifty.two years since he and I acqainted as school-boys at the school established at Worth- ington, Ohio, by his uncle, Bishop Chase. Nine ears later our aaintance was renewed in Sincinnati, when o there his protes- sional career, and from that time till his death our personal rel ere those of friendship. He was then a beginner im the practice, and I &@ beginner im the study, of the law. I saw him constantly for years, and knew him well, professionally and socially. In recalling the circumstances of that with reference to hum, I find that my most distinct memor: of the calm, steady, uni industry with which he started out in life in thatecity. He went there when a young lawyer's success at that bar was neither easy ner speedy. Num- bers of them of high social connections and fine talents had opened offices there, and that was all. One by one they had disappeared, the vic- tims of theiz own indolence, idleness, of dissipa- tion. About the year 15%, however, a new and better set of young lawyers began to appear in that city, and among them Mr. Chase was con- spicuous fer his upright life, his personal dig- nity, bis steady devotion to’ his profession, and his evident purpose to achieve success if assidu- ous, €arnest, and faithful laber could command it. Of all his contemporaries he had as little fac- ulty as any other for winning practice on the street. From the first it was manifest that whatever he obtained was to come as the re- ward of integrity, ability, fidelity, and indus try. This only made it the more certain that he must wait for success, as must all youn; lawyers. Whether the period of waiting shal be to any such the seed-time for a rich harvest, depends upon how it is occupied. He bravely determined that his waiting time should be one of work, heavy, exacting work, such as probably no young lawyer of twenty-two years of age ever ventured upon, before or since. ‘This was no less than the Preparation for publi- cation of an annotated edition of all the general statutes of the Northwestern jterritory, and the state of Ohio, from the first appear: written laws in the farmer, in 1758, down to IS35, inclusive, « of forty-six years. Some idea of the magnitude of this work, and of its immense demands upon his intellectual facul- ties and his ) amp of endurance, may be formed, when it is stated that it required the careful reading, and the intent study, in itself, and in all its connections prior and subsequent of every general law that had been enact nual legislatures, through that long with none of which had he had any before he opened his office in Cincinnati; and, in addition, the preparation and mcorporation of such notes and references as would enable the practitioner to tind with | ease and certainty what at any point of time in that period was the written law there on any subject. As every lawyer will at once see, the value of such a work lay in its entire and ad- mitted completeness and accuracy. In neither of these points have ‘Chase's Statutes” proba- | bly ever been questioned; in both they are be- lieved to be unsurpassed by any similar work in | this country. They are at once a monument to | his talents and industry, aud his recognized | claim to the gratitude of the bar of Ohio. I ave thus referred to the opening work of his | life, because it pointed to future distinction, | and because it presents to the young men of the | bar an example of professional enterprise, | bravery, and industry, which ought not to be wholly eclipsed by the brilliancy of his subse- | quent career. or ‘To him who set sach an example professional success was a certainty. He achieved it fully, and enjoyed it as long as hedesired. But in the course of years he was called into the sp public action and duty, and thenceforward he her high stations, to the he nation. Into all he ng manhood, and in ability, acknowledged ali he served with great fidelity, and w tioned integrity. Icis most fit that the bar should show thei respect for such a member of the legal fi nity by a suitable expression on the oceasion of | his removal by death from the last great trast committed to Lim. He has passed from his own august tribunal to one immeasurably more au- | and where the scales of judgment have always been, and will always be, absolutely and 1 To it ke has taken the record of a lite marked by personal integrity, earnest support of what be believed to be right, steady | aud faithful labor in bis place, fidelity to ail trusts, and, as I believe, by the faith and hope of # christian. If there were faults intermingled with his virtues—as in every human lite there always are—let us forget the former in our emu- lation of the latter; and we may realize that though his officiai ‘eminence be accessible to very few, the eminence of an upright, earnest, and faithful life is open to all.

He was called by the Pre- sident to be Hnance minister of the government. With matchless ability he executed the duties of his high trust. He found the country bank- rupt, her treasyry empty, and her credit gone. He smote the naked rock and the living waters gushed forth. He touched the corpse of dead credit, and it lived and moved instinct with life and energy. This American lawyer reorganized and recreated the currency of a nation in the midst of the shock of civil war, and subsisted a million of armed men for long years without the sacrifice of a national security or the de- lay of asingle hour.
