LEE & WILSON. 1! ? 1 ?+ The Memory of Gen. Lee. j j Tho x'esolution of Sonator McCrecry j ' 4of Kentucky, looking to tho rsetora-j tion of the Arlington estate to the!' i i Lee family, and tho removal of the L Federal dead, was tho occasion of af( ,roost acrimonious debute in the United ; j States Senate, in which 3Icssrs. Sum-1 ner,,Edmunds, Morton, Xyo, Scott, I and other lights of the Radical party, L themselves in a bitter de-l i ti yi ui?vv* ... nunciu.tioaj of the Confederate cause ^nd its chosen leader. The introduction of the resolution was illlimed, but nothing can justify the .tone and temper of tho debate which ^aronsed. It exkibi'ted a petty jealousy and narrow partisanship which j. ean only reflect dishonor upon the J' (Jefamcrs of the great chieftain III' .ghosred nothing of the magnanimity of the true conqueror, but only tliej oravees and irritability of conscious 1. j^eakness. ' Gen. Leo's fame has nothing to ^ Bnffet* from the cavils of his dctractorjs. \ He has already been weighed iti the j" .b&lance, and has assumed already .his place amdfcg the wise a?nd good, ^ (Of all ag58. Death has set tho lust seal upon his hie virtues,, and poster ;ity will but confirm the judgment of j ^ bit contemporaries. When the petty jealousies of lha hour ^hall have 1 passed away, then leb?his epitaph be j written. r 4 ? ? Impeachmint of Judos Vshkok.? * 'The Legislature has ordered the j T -impeachment of Judge Vernoo, and [1 .a committee appointed to conduct the jj1 prosecution.before the Senate. YFbat-jr .ever may be the ostensible pretext for j" the movement, there is no doubt that 1 . in its character and purposes it is entirely partisan. Elecied as a llopablican aud by .Republicans, Judge ' Vernon had loo much of .character * and independence to become a mere 1 party tooJL Tho spirit with which he ( has maintained the integrity and ( independence of the judicial charac- ' ter in tho matter of the Lauren6 ' ^prisoners, incites the present.attack.
