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.

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. '
* ^ i:..i ?:n AmUftA tlio

following enlogium of tho A'tin upon j1
' ;the opright jndga :
"A Carolinian by birth, a man of 1
ct-rong common sense, a man never <
.afraid of uttering his honest con.vic.taons,
a man who will not condescend
lo do a mean act, no matter what may
-be the end subserved, Judge Vernon 1
is to-day as trne to the interests of <
justice and of the State as any of-her (
oitiaens. Ho may have his social
faults?who is without them ??but 1
la all that constitutes fidelity to human
trast, weighed in the balanee, he

$38,619 69; Uarnwell",$36,000,00
