Circuit Judge
On December 1, 1879, President Hayes nominated McCrary to become a judge of the United States Circuit Court for the Eighth Circuit (which preceded the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit). Referencing his family's financial need after his many years of public service, he left the court in 1884 to become general counsel for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway.

Famous quotes containing the words circuit and/or judge:
“We are all hostages, and we are all terrorists. This circuit has replaced that other one of masters and slaves, the dominating and the dominated, the exploiters and the exploited.... It is worse than the one it replaces, but at least it liberates us from liberal nostalgia and the ruses of history.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Self-love makes our friends appear more or less deserving in proportion to the delight we take in them, and the measures by which we judge of their worth depend upon the manner of their conversing with us.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
