The modern tendency to mould the law into the shape of statutory enactments, to codify both principles and practice, has led to a great abbreviation of the amount of study that is now expended in preparation for, and in the actual pur- suit of, the profession, and lawyers as a class are less stu- dious and probably less learned than their predecessors were required to be. In my early day, the maxim of Horace, when teaching tyros the poetic art,
"Vos exemplaria Græca, Nocturna versate manu, versate diurna,"
was the motto of the student at law. On him was enjoined

HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY, NEW YORK.
the duty of reading the choicest books, selecting the highest models, and giving days and nights to their diligent perusal and careful analysis. Only thus can any man now master his profession, and make it honorable to himself and advan- tageous to the State. A cultivated, a public-spirited, an upright and a conscientious lawyer ought to be, and gener- ally will be, a leading if not a controlling character in the community. The world has often seen such, and will see them again. Even in the days of Cicero the counsels of such a man were sought not merely for direction in the affairs of private life, but for guidance in those great public emergencies which involved the peace of the community and the welfare of the State. "Domus jurisconsulti est oraculum totins civitatis," is the declaration of the most distinguished lawyer and renowned orator of Rome. Such honor will be given and such homage will ever be paid by the people to him who seeks " popularity" in the true and legitimate way, the way so admirably described by Lord Mansfield as the " popularity that follows, not that which is run after,-that popularity which sooner or later never fails to do justice to the pursuit of noble ends by noble means.".
Let me sum up in brief but comprehensive terms the character of the genuine lawyer, as I find it most justly and happily portrayed in an address recently delivered at the dedication of the new court-house in Pittsfield, Mass., by the Hon. H. W. Taft, of Lenox, in the county of Berkshire :
" The true lawyer chooses his profession not from mero mercenary considerations, but because it ofers to him a means of livelihood and opportunity for labor in a most honorable and useful department of human action. He pursues his studies with a desire to understand fully the principles which form a foundation of the system of com- mon law, and coming thus furnished into practical life, his opinions are founded in reason, and not in mere analogies of precedent. He grows into an enthusiastic devotion to his profession, as it promotes his intellectual culture, and gives him opportunities to infuse just dealing and counteract the evil tendency of avarice and passion among his fellow-men. He recognizes the judicial duties of his profession, and settles more suits than he prometes. He is not insensible to the fair rewards of professional success, whether of pecuniary profit or of those honors which are the just objects of an honorable ambition. He does not recognize a code of morals which fixes one role of duty for private, and another for professional or political life, but he he- lieves that fraud and falschood are always and everywhere dishonest and degrading. He is glad to win causes, but never by dishonorable means, and victory brings him no true gratification if he doubts the justice of the verdict. His professional life causes him no greater sor- row than when the canse he believes to be just is Inst in spite of his utmost efforts ; as it affords him no higher joy than when he feels that by means of his patience, intelligence, and skill justice has triumphed, and fraud and villainy are baffled and exposed. He does not with sclemn prudery reject a client entitled to claim his services because he has a stain upen his reputation, for he knows that every man, whatever his character or history, has a right to be defended and assisted in the conrts of law; but ho does take care, in every canse, to give no coun- sel, consent, or assistance in any measures of dishonesty and wrong. And, crowning all, there is in him-however it may fail of its full effect upon his heart and life, but coming to him because inwrought iu the system of law of which he is a minister-a senso of responsi- bility for all human action to that Supreme Intelligence and Virtae which is ever counseling and commanding what is right and prohibit- ing what is wrong, to that Higher Law on which all buman laws de- pend, and from which they derive their authority and power."
Do you say this is a high ideal ? It is, indeed, but no true lawyer should be content with a lower one, and it presents in ils essential elements no standard that is beyond the reach of an honorable ambition.
Young men of the bar of Oneida, remember " the rock whence ye were hewn," and the proud patrimony to which you were born, and let not the foundations of the one be moved or shaken by your remissness, or the wealth of the other be lost or diminished by your unfaithfulness.
The following obituary notice of Judge Jolinson was published in the Utica Observer soon after his death :
" Alexander Smith Johnsen was born in Utica on the 30th of July, 1817. He was the eldest son of Alexander B. Jobnsoo, and the grand- son of Bryan Johnson, who settled here when what is oow Utica was old Fort Schuyler. The family were English, Bryan Johnson bad been in business in Gosport, England, acd afterwards in London, be- fore he emigrated to America. He came about the year 1797, with the original intention of making his home in Canada. But finding here a favorable trading-post, he changed his plans and established a store at what is now the corner of Whitesboro' and Division Streets. His son, A. B. Johnson, at n very early age developed a decided taste for business, and long before he was twenty-one he had established an enviable reputation in the mercantile circles of the growing town. He afterwards devoted himself to the business of banking. As his opportunities increased he added constantly to his stock of knowl- edge, till finally, as a scholar, author, and philosopher, he acquired a distinction more enduring than the memory of his business trinmphs and reverses. His first wife was the granddaughter of John Adams, the second President of the United States, so there mingled in the veins of Judge Johnson the blood of that impetuous patriot allied with the steadier but not cooler life- current of his English sire.
" The surroundings of his hoyheod brought early into play the in- tellectnal part of Judge Johnson's nature. He was only eighteen when, in 1835, he graduated with the highest honors of Yale College, which institution afterwards conferred upon him the degree of Doc- tor of Laws. After his graduation he entered immediately npec the study of the law, and at the age of twenty-one was admitted to the bar. The late Judge Beardsley, recognizing in him the promise of unusual ability, offered bim, in the following Jannary, a partnership. This connection lasted only a few months. A field of larger useful- ness was opened to Judge Johnson in the city of New York, whither be removed in June, 1839, to become the associnte of Elisha P. Hurl- but in the practice of law. This partnership was terminated by the election of Judge HInribnt to the Supreme Court bench in 1846. For five years longer Judge Johnson continued practice by himself. In 1851 he was named by the Democrats for Judge of the Court of Ap- peals. At this time he was only thirty-four yenrs old. No other man, except the famous Chancellor Kent, had been called to fill so high a judicial office nt so early an age. But the criticism which bis youth provoked did not survive the campaign. He was triumphantly elected in a contest so clese that part of the Whig ticket wns success- ful, and before he had been on the bench a year his eminent fitness for the high office wns everywhere acknowledged. He wns the asso- ciate of Denio, Constock, Selden, and Grover,-the highest lights in our judicial system,-and among them his opinions ranked with the best.
"Nature fitted him for the duties of a judge. He was calm, self- poised, and singuinrly impartial. Ne wave of passion ever obsenred his vision or swept his judgment from its meerings. Ile could hear and determine without prejudice. To these natural qualifications he added a comprehensive knowledge of the law, and a vigorous grasp of its underlying principles. He was a student from choice, not from necessity. Learning to him was not a weapon wherewith to conquer success, but a key opening the vast storehouses of a high and en- during pleasure. Retiring from the bench on the first of January, 1860, he returned to his old home in Utica, and resumed the practice of the law. In 1864 he was chosen a Regent of the University, and the same year he was named by President Lincoln as a commissioner on the part of the United States to settle the claims of the Minds n Bay and Puget Sound Companies. Ile was engaged in this service for three years, and won high recognition for the ability which he displayed.
" In 1873, when Judge Ward Hunt was elevated to the Supreme Court of the United States, Governor Dix nnmed Judge Johnson as his successor in the Commission of Appeals. A year later, when Judge Peckham was lost at sca, Judge Johnson was transferred to

that court. Hs was the candidate of the Republican party for the full term in 1874, bat was defeated with the rest of his ticket. Gov- eraor Tildeo, however, recognizing his qualifications, named him for one of the commissioners to revise the statotes, early in 1875. In Ootoher of the sains year he was appointed by the President to ths judgeship of the United States Circuit Court for the Second Circuit, embracing ths States of New York and Vermont.
" The duties of this office are peculiarly oneroos. The court bolds twelve regular sessions in each year, besides extra meetings for the traosaotion of accumulated business. . The only appeal from it is to tho Supreme Court of the United States, and a heavy responsibility is therefore thrown upon the circuit judge. The protracted illness of Judge Smalley, of Vermont, threw an additional load of lahor on Judge Johnson. Bsfors he entered on this office his health had always been good, though his calm exterior covered maoy nervous disorders which bis strong will controlled. A forewarning of his fate came to him months ago. But he was so engrossed in his duties that he could oot or would not hosd it. He loved his profession, and the rounding of his judicial career, while it sapped the foundation of his life, at- tracted him so strongly that it seemed impossible for him to turn from it.
" Judge Johnson was something more than a successful lawyer and jurist. Io the hest sense of the word he was a philosopher. Hs had studied deep into the problems of life. No foolish fear of futurity stinted his soul or narrowed bis vision. With a strong love of homs and ao intense affection for his family, his miod swept beyond the confines of city, State, or country, and his intellectual nature was cosmopolitan. His love of the beautiful in art and literature was deep-seated, and was no pedantic affectation. The old Latin poets were the companions of his leisure hours. The deep rescarches of scientific men were to him no mystery. The progress of painting and sculpturo he followed with keen enjoyment, and rare and curious treasures he eagerly sought aod gladly possessed.
" He was just and apright io all the relations of life, with a singu- larly winning nature, which endeared him most to those who knew him best. He will be sadly missed,-missed from the ranks of that high profession which he so greatly honored ; missed from the city of his birth, the home of his youth, the choseo abode of his ripened years ; and missed, most of all, io that household on which the shadow of a great bereavement falls black and heavy, with no relief save that the grief of the family is shared, in some msasure, by a wide, sympa- thizing community."
Judge Johnson died at Nassau, N. P., whither he had gone for his health, on the 26th of January, 1878.
ATTORNEYS.
The following list of attorneys is mostly prepared from the papers on file in the county elerk's office, which have been very carefully examined, and the list made as complete as possible. It embraces all the names to be found in the records from the organization of the county in 1798 to 1847. It is not entirely perfect in two respects : first, the names of the attorneys practicing in Oneida County are not all on record in the clerk's office, many of them having been admitted in other counties ; and second, it includes many names of those who were admitted here, but never practiced in the county, or at least never were residents .*
Since the adoption of the new constitution, in 1847, there have been no general terms of the Supreme Court held in Oneida County, and as attorneys are admitted be- fore that court their names are not on the records of the county, and we have no means of obtaining a correct list.
We give a list of the graduates of the Hamilton College law department, taken from the books in the county elerk's
office, commeneing with 1868. Many of these have never practiced in the county, though their names appear as admitted. By virtue of their diploma from that school they are admitted to practice before the Supreme Court :
1798 .- Thomas R. Gold, Joseph Kirkland, Arthur Breese, Erastus Clark, Joshua Hathaway, Joab Griswold, Nathan Williams, Francis A. Bloodgood, Rufus Easton, Medad Curtis.
1799 .- Gaylord Griswold, Sanford Clark, Thomas Moore, Matthias B. Tallmadge.
