ACADEMICAL DEPARTMENT. 1820 EDWARD MCCRADY, the son of John McCrady, and the grand- son of Edward McCrady, an emigrant from County Antrim, Ireland, was born in Charleston, S. C, on March 16, 1802. He began the study of law under the direction of his uncle, Justice William Johnson, of the Supreme Court of the U. S., and completed his course with the Hon Mitchell King, of Charleston, with whom he practiced for a short time after his admission to the bar in 1824. He was prominent in his opposition to nullifi- cation in 1832-3, and subsequently accepted and filled the office of TJ. S. District Attorney (until his resignation m 1850), in order to identify himself more distinctly with the policy of the South- ern Rights Association, which favored cooperation of Southern Conservatives, but not secession. He was also elected to the State Legislature, where he served for several years very use- fully. As a member of the Convention of 1860 he voted for secession, believing that that movement could no longer be delayed without anarchy resulting at home.
