Their Individual Views aa to what Con? gress should Do. Special to the New York Herald. Washington, June 1. The political views and opinions of Senator Butler, of South Carolina, which were published a few days ago, bare at? tracted so much attention here and else? where that curiosity has been expressed to know what were the opinions-of the remainder of the South Carolina delega? tion in Congress. Senator Hampton has been absent in New York all the week; but hi3 opin? ions are very well known; he holds that the army bill ought not to be allowed to fail, but that both the appropriation bills ought to be passed, pure and simple, though if a majority of his party pre? ferred, he would agree to pass a joint res? olution continuing last year's appropria? tions until next February. He believes that the army ought to be supported and its supplies given, and that the session ought not to be prolonged. VIEWS OF MB. ETTN8. Of the South Carolina representatives Mr. Evins said to a reporter that his views, as already and recently published, had not changed. He is more con vinced, if possible, than before of the propriety of passing the army bill and then ad? journing. The issue is narrowed down to this point, that we have to vote sup? plies or abolish the army?that is the naked question now, and I prefer to vote the supplies. If the Northern Demo? crats desire to pnt themselves on the re? cord aa opposing the army appropriation bill they have only to vote against it. We are perfectly willing for them to do so, but we cannot afford to take any such steps as that or to be made responsible for such action. "I for one," said he, '?'am perfectly willing to take my share of the responsibility for voting the sup? plies. The proper plan, it seems to me, would be to take a vote on these ques? tions and let each section and every man vote as they severally- think they ought to vote." ?WHAT MB. BICHABDriON THOUGHT. Mr. Richardson, being asked what he thought should be the course of the Democrats in reference to the appropria? tion bills, said: "1 believe the issues be? tween the two parties have been made as sharp and pointed as they can well be made. If the Northern Democrats can? not carry the country on tbe issues as they stand, they cannot carry it at all on any issue involving the use of troops and deputy United States marshals at the polls. The South has so far only fol? lowed the lead of the Northern Democ? racy, and she is satisfied with the result, so far as she is concerned. I am unwil? ling to be put in a wrong or false light before the country, as we would be were we to refuse to grant tbe necessary sup Elics to sustain the Government. We ave done all that the Constitution and laws of the United States invests us with the power to do. To do more, or to at? tempt to do more, would lay the party open to the charge of being willing to injure or destroy one of the branches of the Government, to effect, in an irregular way, that which the Constitution seems to recognize as tbe right of tbe peeple, and only of the people, to do. I am, therefore, for leaving it to the peoole to say whether they will now enable the Democratic party to effect the abolition of tbe use of troops and United States marshals at elections. It is clearly now their time to act We have exhausted our dearly defined constitutional reme? dies, and to do more is to invade the province of the people themselves. I think, therefore, we should not leave here without passing the appropriation bills pure and simple. "I am inclined to think we should pass a separate bill abolishing the use of dep? uty United States marshals in elections, and one to abolish the juror's test oath, and let the President pass on these, as he has already passed on the question of tbe use of troops at the polls. I think he will likely approve the latter and veto the former. This will but strengthen us before the country." Correspondent: "What about tbe Democratic party backing down?" Mr. Richardson: "I know that it is said by some that this course would be a back down. The Republicans taunt us with backing down, and they do it to keep us from pursuing the course I have indicated. But I do not regard it as a back down. I am not aware when or where tbe party have pledged themselves to do more than we have done. I know that individuals hare asserted we would do more. I know that the press in some instances assumed and perhaps asserted we would do more. I know that the Re? publicans have charged it upon us that we intended to do more, but so far as I know the Democrats in the Forty-sixth Congress, neither in caucus or elsewhere, stand pledged to anything more than they have done. But if this could be called a back down I for one would back down a hundred times before I would once do anything to injure or endanger the security, the efficiency or the well being of our government in any of its branches." WHAT MR. TILLMAX FAVOES. Mr. T?lman said: "I am unqualifiedly in favor of voting all the appropriation bills in good time before the 30th of June, when the fiscal year expires. But before voting those bills I would prefer to pass an income tax in order to make property bear its just share of the bur? dens of the Government, and not to per? mit mere consumption to have to bear it all. It is a shame that Vanderbilt's car? riage driver should have to pay as much tax as Vanderbilt himself; for the tobac? co and whiskey and other articles his family consume pay quite as much or more than what his employer's family consume. Before voting the appropria? tion bills I would also prefer to pass an act defining with more precision the rel? ative jurisdictions of the State and Fed? eral courts. I believe such an act is ab? solutely necessary in order to restore the State and Federal Governments to their proper equilibrium after their violent departure from the old landmarks, which was caused by passionate and ill-consid? ered legislation during and since the war. I believe the President would veto both these measures, as he has done the other measures for restoring constitutional gov ment passed by the present Congress, and is also likely to do for the silver bill for the relief of the people. I am in favor of all these measures, in order that the Democracy may have well crystallized peal to the National Labor and Green? back parties, and all other elements of opposition to the Republican party." Mr. Aiken said: "I do not believe the Federal Government has any right to in? terfere with the elections. I think that is a State matter; but if they do inter? fere it should be through civil officers, and as Federal marshals and supervisors are civil officers, I would be willing to have that law continue rather than ob? struct the wheels of government by with? holding the appropriations. When we pa-a the legislative bill we ought not to issues to go before MR. AIKEJf'S VIEWS. hare the words marshal or supervisor in I it I have different views in regard to the army bill. I think the civil power should control this government, and that the military should be subservient to it. I do not see any reason why there should ever be soldiers at the polls, and I will not vote for the army bill on that ac? count. Mr. Hayes says the soldiers will never be sent to the polls during his ad? ministration. Why, then, should he be willing to clog the wheels of government by refusing to sign a bill forbidding them to be sent to the polls at any time ? Such a power ought not to be left to the mere personal caprice or pique of any execu? tive. He has conceded every argument offered against the use of troops when he says that he will not use them, and if after such concession he sees fit to refuse to sign the bills we should refuse to grant him supplies. The fact is the Republi? can party have never seen soldiers at the polls in the light that we of the Demo? cratic party have seen them, because when they were at the polls they were avowed friends of the Republican party. If the reverso was the case and a Demo? cratic President were in power and were to send Democratic soldiers of his selec? tion to overawe Republican voters we would find the Republicans crying out and kicking against such a dangerous proceeding. The fight is simply a par? tisan one, and I will never vote for a partisan measure when I think the re? verse is & Constitutional provision. In ten years more, at this rate, we will have in this country the prettiest empire you ever saw, unless the conservative agricul? tural element comes to the rescue of the government." ME. O'CONNOR'S OPINIONS. Mr. O'Connor was asked: "Are you in favor of passing the army appropriation bill, pure and simple, before adjourn? ment f" Mr. O'Connor: "After the issue made by Congress with the Executive upon this measure?insisting that he should be prohibited from interfering with the free elections of the people and surrounding their polls with his troops?I do not see how the Democracy can entirely, back down and grant him supplies uncondi? tionally without disaster. Far better that no such issue had ever been made in the first instance than to have allowed it to be made an issue between the pow? ers of the executive and the legislative departments of the government, in which struggle the Congress should be forced to succumb. I do not think concession at this time can bode any good to the for? tunes of the Democratic party, with whom rests to-day the preservation of oor free institutions. My idea is that upon receiving the President's veto to the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bills the Democratic party in caucus should at once resolve to frame a separate bill providing for the repeal of the juror's test oath and a fairer method of drawing jurors. Also another bill, modifying the Federal election laws so as to prevent United States marshals domineering at the polls and taking the control of the elections entirely out of the hands of the State of5cp-3. Pass these and send them to the President. At the same time they should pass the legislative and executive appropriation bill, and the judiciary appropriations should be so tied up that not one dollar could be expended by the department of justice to run the election machinery in the interests of the Republican party. I think, ?.lso, that an army appropriation bill, with a repealing clause prohibiting the presence of armed troops at the polls, but striking out the words civil officers, which the President made the pretext for his first veto, so as to leave him no shad? ow of ground of right upon which to veto such an appropriation bill, should he passed, and in that shape send it to him, and with him leave the responsibility of its refusal. After Congress has done* all this, which is a very large concession considering the stand that has been taken by the Democracy, I think it can without fear of the cry of revolution adjourn, no matter what may be the action of the President, and safely go to the people for their vindication. If the appropriation for the army is voted plain and simple it will be received as a complete back down of the Democracy throughout the coun? try, and will intensify the aggressive spirit of the Republican party, which is hourly growing. The issues have been forced upon the present Congress by a former one, and they have to be consid? ered in the light of the bearing they will have upon the existence of the Demo? cratic party; for if by any mis take of conduct or policy this party should fail in the next campaign, the Presidency be secured to the Republicans and the House wrested from the Democracy, it will be a sad hour for the liberties of the American people." The Wickedist Book Agent.?A clever fellow, an expert in the calling, rang the door bell, and soon the lady of the house was before him. Said he: "Will you be kind enough to take this book and give it?V *'I guess not to-day, sir," said she, closing the door. "But, madam, you don't understand. I only want you to give it?!" "I cannot possibly to-day, sir; I'm very busy." "Why, my dear madam, tbe folks in the next house are away; won't you please band it to them when they re? turn ?

Charleston News and Courier. The Centennial of Ireland's great bard was celebrated with fitting honors at Hibernian Park yesterday, by the open? ing of the annual two days' festival under the auspices of the Park Associa? tion. The Park was well filled with pleasure-seekers, and in the afternoon, when the centennial address was deliv? ered, a gcodly number of the fair sex, and of the sterner sex, too, gathered under the grand old oaks, which shade the Park, to hear the praises of Tom Moore sung by as gallant a soldier and as silver-tongued an orator as ever owed his origin to the land of Emmett and Moore. Capt. B. F. McCabe, in an appropriate allusion to the event, introduced Col. James Armstrong, the orator of the day, who spoke as follows: To-day in many lands the scattered but devoted children of dear Erin meet to? gether to commemorate the centennial of Thomas Moore. Here on this bright, glad May day, beneath this summer splendor of foliage and sunshine, waving banners of green and gold?where the symbolic harp is seen, and where brave and true, fresh and pure hearts throb in unison with this event, and are thrilled with the gladdening memories it awakens?we swell the great chorus which arises from countless thousands in recalling the genius and patriotism of Ireland's chosen Bard. The very name of Tom Moore should engender thought and inspire sentiment. The rich sunshine of his song dispelled the mists from the smiling valleys, and made gladsome the sparkling streams of his native land, to which he devoted the depth, the tenderness, the beauty and strength of his genius. He loved Ire? land with an ardor and enthusiasm that only death could extinguish. It is not my province to assign bis true place in the galaxy of poets. I have neither the time nor talent to prove that he reached a proud heighth on Parnassus. The British reviewers said that he possessed fancy, but no genius. The same writer denied to Robert Emmett the virtue of patriotism. "Lilla Rookh" everywhere sparkles with the richest and rarest gems of poetic thought, and possesses a radi? ance of grandeur as brilliant as the stars. Though the scene is laid in the East, the wrongs of Ireland suggested and inspired his matchless verse. He never believed that success alone can make the patriot ?misfortune always makes the rebel. With what beauty and force he express "Bebellion 1 foul, dishonoring word, Whose wrongful blight so oft bos stained The holiest cause that tongue or sword Of mortal ever lost or gain'd. How many a spirit, born to bless, Hath sunk beneath that withering name, Whom but a day's, an hour's success, Had wafted to eternal fame." But, ray friends, it is bis sweet and enchanting melodies that I love to re? call. They conjure up delightful associ? ations ?.nd tender recollections of by Sone times, and revive those golden ours of youth which many of you passed by the verdant slopes of the Suir, the Li fly, the Barrow, the Blackwater, the Foyle, the Lee, and the Shannon. Delightful old Christopher North said that "of all the song writers that ever warbled or chanted, or sung the best, in our estimation, is verily none other than Thomas Moore." Many of his songs, my friends, are both sad and sweet? Bweet as the music of her purling rills? sad as the sighing of the winds through her valleys. You heard them along with the breathing of a mother's love, and they were followed with the whisper of a mother's prayer. They strike the tender est chord in the barp of the Irish breast, for they seem as a voice wafted from the dear Island home, "Home, Sweet Home," whose grand and beautiful image is still fresh and green in memory. The mois? tened eye, the quivering lip, the silent prayer prove "Wert thou all that I wish theo, great, glorious, and f.-e ?. First Uowcr or the earth, and first gem of the sea, I might hail thee with prouder, with happier brow, But, oh! could I love thee more deeply thau now? "No, thy chains as they rankle, thy blood as it runs, But make thee more painfully dear to thy sons? Whose hearts, like too young of the desert-bird's nest, Drink love in each life-drop that flows from tby breast." Moore was one of Emmett's early friends and warm admirers. How ten? derly he speaks of the gifted young martyr: "Oh! breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade, Whore sold and uuhonor'd his relics arc laid ; Sad, silent, and dark, be the tears that -n shed, As the night dew that falls on the grass o'er his head. "But the night dew that falls, though in silence it weeps. Shall brighten with verdure the grave where he sleeps; And the tear that we shed, though in secret it rolls, Shall long keep his memory green in our souls." How grandly he tells of the former greatness and renown of Ireland: ''Let Erin remember the days o> old, Ere her faithless sons betray her; When Malacbi wore the collar of gold. Which ho won from the proud invader; When her Kings, with standard of green unfurled, Led the Red branch Kuighls tu danger; Ere the Emerald gem of the Western world Was set in the ciown of a stranger." Washington Irving has furnished a most felicitous and touching sketch of the ill-fated loves of Emmett and Sarah Curran, and Moore has embalmed it in immortal verse: "She is for front the land where her young hero Bleeps, And lovers arc round her sighing; But coldly she turns from their gaze and weeps, For her heart in his grave is lying. ? ???????? "lie had lived for his love, for his country he died, They were all that to life had entwined him, Nor soon shall the tears of his country be dticd, For long will his love stay behind hiui. "Oh! make her a grave where the sunbeams rest, Where they promise a glorious morrow; They'll shine o'er her sleep, like a smile from the West, From her own loved Island of sorrow." Fletcher, of Saltoun, said: "If a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation." While Moore may hare at times basked in the sunshine of Court favor and entertained gay and cul? tivated English circles with his charming and sentimental lyrics, when he wrote of his country his language shot forth as lightning, as beautiful and as fatal. "It burned with its electric fire piercing as the pointed steel, or lambent as a ray of light." Where is the freeman who fails to admire the ringing, thrilling tones of "But 'tis past?and tho' blazoned iu story, The name of our victor may be, Accursed is the march Of that glory Which treads o'er the hearts of tue free. "Far dearer the grave or the prison, Illumed by one patriot name, Than the trophies of all who have risen On liberty's ruins to fame." One of Moore's melodies conveys the lesson, and impresses it deeply, that we should have love for all who bear tho name of Irishman: "Erin, thy silent tear never shall cease; Erin, thy languid smile ne'er shall increase, Till, like the rainbow's light, Thy various tints unite, Aud lorm in Heaven's sight, One arch of peace." The purest beauty and stateliest gran? deur pervades "The Harp that once through Tara's Halls." Moore's song3 have lightened the labor of the hardy Swiss mountaineer. They are sung by the muleteers of Spain, They cheer the Canadian fishermen. Their melody glides into the heart of the gondoliers of Venice. They are heard in the palace of the prince as well as in the cabin of the peasant. The venerable and beloved Archbishop McHale, whom O'Connell aptly termed "the Lion of the fold of Judah," has translated many of them into Irish. My honored friend, .Father Croghan, informs me, (and be is excel? lent authority) that some of Moore's melodies in Irish fall upon the ear as sweetly and soothingly as did the music of the harp of David to the troubled breast of Saul, while the martial airs re? sound as stirring and inspiring as the old rebel yell which he heard in Virginia, or the ringing battle shout of the famous "Connaught Rangers." I cannot conclude these crude, imper? fect and disjointed utterances without making brief allusion to the inner life of our poet and patriot. He was a dutiful son,'and his generosity was fully com? mensurate with his means. Around the domestic circle his virtues shone pre? eminent. The molten wealth, the lava of gold and gems of his poetry, have elicited the admiration of the world; but what is far more precious, more worthy of commendation, grander, nobler, bet? ter, he was a fond, faithful and affection? ate husband. His home was the seat of contentment and happiness. The very air of his dwelling was redolent of piety aud love, and vocal with the soft and enchanting melody of "the bosom friend dearer than all." She was ever young and fair in his sight; her eyes to him were brighter than the stars of which he sung; her smile outrivailed the splendor of the Oriental sky. His household gods were more precious than the world's ap? plause. Thomas Moore fills an honored niche in Fame's proud temple. Hi3 poems will continue to melt the heart with their warmth of coloring and their tender and impassioned sentiments as long as the tints of the flowers attract the eye, while the brilliancy of the stars enkindles the fancy, or the beauties of the landscape enrapture the vision. His memory will be cherished in every true Irish heart, and his melodies will cause every Irish heart to vibrate with lofty and generous emotions. May each succeeding anni? versary find his admiring countrymen celebrating with enthusiasm the birthday of "The poet of all circles and the idol of bis own." At the close of this address, which it is needless to say was delivered in a most eloquent and impressive stvle, and which was frequently interrupted with rounds of hearty applause, the Rev. C. J. Crog? han called the attention of the audience to the fact that there was on the stage a gentleman who was born in the same county and on the same day of the year with Tom Moore, and who was personally acquainted with the great poet. He al? luded to Mr. George Addison, who was thereupon called upon by the crowd, and who responded briefly, giving some of his recollections of Moore. This ended the ceremonies, and left the crowd at leisure to stroll around the Park and see the sights. The day's pro? gramme was carried out without ? single mishap, and to the entire satisfaction of all who were fortunate enough to be present. AN OLL ROMAN HOUSE. Interesting Excavations on tho Banks of tho Tiber. Tbc ancient Roman house lately dis? covered in making the excavations on the banks of the Tiber in the gardens of Falazzo Farnesina is even more interest? ing than was at first supposed. I bad arranged to visit the excavations with the director-general of hydraulic works at Italy, but an unexpected rise in the Tiber having covered the mosaic pave? ments, and the rare paintings on the walls having already been removed, I am obliged to accept the description of an? other. The frescoes on the walls have been taken to tho magazine of the Archseolgi cal Commission in the convent of Saint Francesco Eomana, but thoy will soon be placed in the Musco Kircheriano in the Roman college. Those persons who have not seen them in their original position will there be able to examine them at their leisure. Professor Lanciani, iu bis lecture in the University of Rome, last Wednesday morning, discoursed on the antiquities in the bed and on the banks of the Ti? ber, and said he believed this house was formerly dedicated to the sale of wlno. All establishments of a similar kind were anciently in the same quarter of the city, and it may be that this was one of many houses in that part of the city where tho delights of Bacchus were enjoyed by the Romans. The archaeologists say that no discovery of equal importance has been made for centuries in Rome. The walls, first covered with a thick coating of powdered marble, are orna? mented with exquisite paintings in a perfect state of preservation. They were evidently made in that period of Rome at the end of the republic, or the begin? ning of the empire, when the art of painting was in the greatest perfection. One of these pictures is an exquisUe rep? resentation of Bacchus as a child. Near this are two imitations of the ancient style, and there are also two musicians playing the cithara. This is an instru? ment resembling the modern guitar in form as well as in name. An antique bas-relief in the hospital of San Giovan? ni, in Lutcrano, also represents this an? cient instrument with cords and frets like the guitar. The cords, however, are longer and the space for the frets smaller, while the player held the thick part of the instrument in the curve of his arm. The Egyptians also used this instrument, and the picture of a man playing upon it is seen in the tomb of Thebes. But this new representation of the cithara has a value which none of those discovered previously possess. Over each chord or the instrument are seen certain letters of signs, which are believed to be notes, and if the learned men of the city succeed in reading them we may be able to hear a melody composed 2,000 years ago, and sung by the merry followers of Bacchus on the shores of the Tiber. It is very probable that in continuing the ex? cavations other rooms will be discovered. Those already found indicate the usual form of an ancient Roman house, which consisted of an interior court, called a peristyle, which was open to the sky, sur? rounded by columns, and to which the rooms inhabited by the family had access. The bases of thrco columns are seen here, and beyond these is a corridor 100 feet long and 18 wide. The room where the paiutiugs were found is on the right of this passage.?iV. Y.

The Senate, by a vote of yeas 28 nays 19, took up the bill reported yesterday by Senator Bayard, from the judiciary committee, relating to juries and to the repeal of Sections 801, 820 and 821 of the Revised Statutes. Senator Hampton, of South Carolina, after briefly supporting this bill, pro? ceeded to speak upon the general politi? cal issues of the session. He could not claim to speak as the leader of his party, nor would he try to shield himself from the consequences of his actions behind anv party. If the policy supported by him was revolutionary and treasonable, he was a revolutionist and traitor. But what policy is before Congress worthy of such a charge ? Continuing, Senator Hampton said: By no vote of mine will the appropria? tions necessary for the efficient main? tenance of the army be refused. It is competent for Congress to declare under what limitations and conditions appro? priations shall be made. The form in which this is done I regard immaterial. In my judgment it would have been best to adhere to the general form, but to se? cure unanimity I shall acquiesce in the decisions of the majority; but in no event can I consent to aid in disbanding the army or impairing its efficiency. It is the army of the South as well as of the North. It is the army of the whole country. In its history from the days of the Revolution I have some reason, by right of my birth and blood, to be proud. In the late civil contest on many bloody fields I tested its valor, and no word or act of mine shall depreciate its valor and lessen its usefulness: but because I so regard it no act of mine shall tend to degrade it. I will not so legislate that against its own honorable instincts and traditions it shall be an instrument of tyranny in the hands of any factious party, or any unscrupulous Executive who may desire it. Nor shall I assent, because of any difference of opinion be? tween the minority and majority, to close the courts of justice or embarrass the life of the Government. The Con? stitution has provided means by which an appeal to the country can be had, and it is for the people to decide whether the Presidential veto has been wisely used to defeat the will of Congress, which represents the majority of the people. Senator Hampton proceeded to say that he had no intention to embarrass the Administration, and, although he considered the provisions of the bill just, be recognized the difficult position in which the Executive found himself. He said that his people remembered that in a critical period of their history, when any injudicious action would have been fatal, the President by a conscientious construction of his duty removed United States troops from Louisiana and South Carolina, and thus enabled the people to restore their local government to those who represented the popular will. For this wise and patriotic action he was grateful, and while it wcuM be his duty to oppose the policy of which the Presi? dent was the representative, that opposi? tion would not be captious nor such as to drive the President into coalition with those who would madly trample on the rights of the people in their struggle to retain power. Senator Hampton said that his party was denounced for wishing to restrict Federal use of the troops, but men high in the Republican party, whose words he quoted, had also pointed out and de? nounced the danger and abuses of such use. It was not the immediate action of the army that he feared, but the ultimate effect of its misuse, and be would oppose any legislation giving the General Gov? ernment power to interfere in any way with elections. Better have turbulence in one or two great cities than military despotism in the whole country. It has been complained that Confederate offi? cers were sent here as legislators. Nearly every man in the South bore arms, and she could hardly be blamed for trusting her interests in peace to those who risked their lives and fortunes for her in war. He thought that if the North had hon? ored in like manner those who fought her battles, the legislation of the coun? try would not be embittered by the re? vival of sectional hate. If the North was sincere in inviting the Southern States to return to the Union, she should be glad they sent their best and most honored men to represent them. Tbc South bad no apology to make for the post, and to recall that post now is not in the interest of that harmony for which the whole country longs. The South asks to have stricken from the statute books laws which are the product of dis? trust as much as were tue armies and navies. If you asked us, said he, to come back as States, treat us as States. Joiu hands with us to establish National liberty as understood by our fathers. Senator Hampton's address aroused frequent applause in the galleries. THE SPEECH OF SENATOR BAYARD. Senator Bayard then spoke at length in support of the bill. He condemned the action of the President in criticising, as he had done in his veto message, the methods and practices of Congress, and said it was not incumbent upon the President to interest himself in parlia? mentary reforms. He then referred to the Federal jury laws, explained their working, and pointed out the absurdity of allowing ex-Confederates to hold the highest ofiice under the government and at the same time excluding them from the jury box. The present bill, he said, was framed to secure perfect impartiality in the formation of juries to try political cases, where such impartiality is of the greatest importance. He said that the veto power was given to the President to prevent the passage of bad bills through inadvertence or design. Such was not the case with the present bills. They represeut the sober second thought of the American people, and the people will finally be called to pass judgment upon the issues now raised. In the meantime tho first duty of the majority is to supply everything needed for the support of the government, but our duty is not to be taught us by a harrassing, obstructive Executive. It is an obliga? tion resting on us by virtue of our oaths. Senator Bayard then said that the ef? fort to misrepresent the Democratic party by asserting that if intended to cripple the government would be futile. He would not belong to a party adopting such a course. "But," he asked, "shall it be said that a man accidentally and wrongfully vested with the enormous powers which have accumulated around the Executive ofiice, succeeded in plac? ing this great party with all its patriotic objects and interests in a position of suspicion and doubt before their fellow countrymen? It will require two to make that issue. It would be a false, dishonest aud untruthful attempt to slander his neighbors. The government shall be supplied with everything need? ful for the vigorous and just exercise of every Constitutional power, but no ob? structive Executive, no unfair political opponent shall prevent the true or raise false issues between us and our country." A XEr.no juror AMENDMENT rejected. Senator Edmunds then moved to amend the pending hill by the addition of a clause prohibiting the exclusion from jury service in. any State or Federal court of any duly qualified person on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. This led to a half humorous colloquy between Senators Hill, of Geor? gia, and Conkling, of New York, and a short speech by the latter. Senator Thurman remarked that the gentleman (Conkling) had perhaps read of a celebrated English statesman, who said he acquired eloquence by speaking every day and on every subject for the first years of his career, and was imita? ting the hitter's example. After debate the amendment was re? jected. Several other amendments were proposed and discussed in a desultory manner, and the Senate adjourned with? out action on the bill. The Ohio Nominations. Columbus, Ohio, June 4. The Democratic State Convention or? ganized here to-day by the election of Sainl. P. Hurd, of Cincinnati, as perma? nent chairman. The following ticket was nominated : For Governor, Thomas Ewing, of Fairfield ; Lieutenant Gover? nor, A. V. Rice, of Putnam; Treasurer Anthony Howells, of Stark ; Judge of the Supreme Court, W. J. Gilmore, of Preble; Attorney General, Mr. Spillars, of Allen. The platform adopted demands a fair election without the interference of the military power. It says that the laws enacted Dy Congress which, under the pretence of regulating Congressional elections, interfere with the election of State officers and overthrow the laws of States governing the choice of such offi? cers, arc unconstitutional and ought to be repealed. It demands a change in the Federal jury laws, so that juries cannot be packed and controlled by the govern? ment for despotic and partisan purposes as heretofore. It charges that the action of the President and tho Republican minority in Congress in refusing to allow all supplies to be voted unless the ma? jority would consent to the use of troops at the polls is sensational and unjust. It says that the executive has shown a spirit of faction and devotion to party success instead of to the welfare of the country, and r.bat he deserves tho con? demnation of the whole American people. It asserLs that President Hayes by inter? posing the veto to defeat constitutional and well-considered legislation has dis? regarded the intentions of the framers of the Constitution and the wishes and wel? fare of the people, and that it is the sense of the Democracy of Ohio that not a dollar should be appropriated by Con? gress to pay soldiers, marshals or super? visors to interfere with elections. The financial plank of the platform reaffirms the principles heretofore advo? cated by the party in Ohio, favors the abolition of the present national bank? ing system, the substitution of green? backs for national bank notes, and de? clares that the demonetization of silver was a monstrous fraud on the people, and that it should be restored to its place on an equality with gold. An additional resolution requesting the Democratic members of Congress not to vote for the army appropriation bill until provision be made to keep the army from influencing or intimidating the people at the polls, was submitted by Frank Hurd in behalf of the minority of the committee on resolutions, but was defeated by a heavy vote. the greenback nominations. The State Greenback Convention met here to-day, with about five hundred del? egates present. S. F. Carey was made permanent chairman, and the following ticket nominated: Gor Governor, Gen. A. Sanders Piatt, of Logan County ; lor Lieutenant Governor, Hugo Prior, of Stark County. The platform adopted favors the dis? tribution of civil and political rights without favoritism on account of birth, color, creed or financial condition. It demands the issue by Government of an ample volume of legal tender currency to meet the business wants of the coun? try. It charges the present suffering and financial distress upon the old polit? ical parlies, and denounces all reference to the late civil war as revolutionary. It calls for the abolition of the national banking system, the substitution of a graduated income tax for the internal revenue laws, and the calling in and pay? ment of all United States bonds in legal tender notes. A minority report was also submitted by the committee on the platform, and led to a bitter and excited discussion. "Tue Woods is Full of 'Em."? This expression is in frequent use in this State, both in conversation and composi? tion, aud yet its origin is probably known only to one in a thousand of those who use it. A gentleman who claims to know gave a reporter the following as the manner in which it was first used : In tho neighborhood of Washington, Wayne County, lived a well known char? acter named Bill Dean. He was what is generally termed a "smart Aleck," al? ways endeavoring to perpetrate a joke at somebody's expense. One day, while riding to Richmond, every foot of which he knew, he espied an old gentleman named Checzum, accoutered for a hunt, earnestly looking up a tree. Approach? ing him Dean asked : ?'Can you tell me the way to Rich? mond ?" "There was two of 'em run up this tree," was the response of theoldgeutle man, who was somewhat deaf. "I didn't ask you anything about squir? rels. How far is it to Richmond V "One of 'em just went in that hole; didn't you see him ?'' the old man said earnestly. Out of patience, Dean yelled out: "You must be a d-d old fool !" "Yes," Cheezum responded, still gazing upward, "the woods is full of 'em."?In dianapolit Xcics. ?

Three Distinct Bills to be Offered by the Majority. The Democratic members of the House and Senate held a joint caucus this after? noon, to receive tho report of the joint advisory committee in regard to the ap? propriation bills. After several hours' deliberation, the following programme was agreed upon: The House committee on appropria? tions will immediately prepare for intro? duction three bills, as follows: The army appropriation bill vetoed by the Presi? dent with the following new section in place of the section upon which the veto was based: "Section 6. That no money appropria? ted by this act is appropriated or shall be paid for the subsistence, equipment, transportation or compensation of any part of the array of the United States to be used as a police force to keep the peace at the polls at any election held within any State." The bill extending the legislative, ex? ecutive and judicial appropriation act of June 19, 1878, for one year from the 30th instant, for the same sums and purposes therein specified. This bill will contain no general legislation, except that por? tion of the recently vetoed bill, known as the McMahon amendment, providing for-.the repeal of certain laws regulating payment of pensions. Last year's bill, which it is thus proposed to re-enact, provided for the salaries of all United States judges, district attorneys and Uni? ted States marshals, but made no appro? priation for "judicial expenses," which, however, were subsequently provided for in the sundry civil appropriation bill. Hence it was agreed that the committee on appropriations shall report a bill making appropriations in detail for all estimated judicial expenses except the per diem of supervisors and deputy mar? shals of elections, and containing also the clause agreed upon last Saturday that no officer shall be appointed and no obligation incurred for any purpose not specifically appropriated for by Congress. This supplemental appropriation bill is also to embody those sections In the vetoed appropriation bill which provide for amendments of the law respecting the method of drawing juries, and for the total abolition of the jurors' test oath. The bill will also provide that no money therein appropriated shall be used for fees, salaries, compensation or expenses of any person appointed under Title 26, Revised Statutes, which comprises the Federal election laws; also that no lia? bility shall be incurred for any object for which a specific appropriation shall not be made by Congress. The appropriations committee will meet to-morrow to prepare measures in outlined. The proceedings of the caucus were unexpectedly harmonious, there being no material difference of opinion except regarding the army bill, and the advisory committee's recommendation as to that was opposed by only a few mem? bers of the House, while the senators present were unanimous in sustaining the entire report. Senator Thurman submitted the report in behalf of the joint committee, and explained its features and the grounds upon which the committee based their conclusions. He scouted the idea that this course could be considered a "back? ing down," since no Democratic caucus or committee had taken the position that supplies should be withheld unless the President would acquiesce in the repeal of obnoxious statutes. The repeal meas? ures were proposed because they were believed to be right, and were placed on the appropriation bills as the mcsl con? venient and speedy method of pass?gt, and as the method giving the greatest prospect of Presidential approval. The President had taken the responsibility of opposing the will of the people, and thereby given the Democracy the benefit of the issues thus raised. Congress could now exercise its constitutional right to designate the purposes for which money appropriated shall be used. Re? ferring to the proposed omission of an appropriation for supervisors and deputy marshals, Mr. Thurman said : "Does any one believe that the Presi? dent will attempt to coerce us? Yet this would be the attitude he would as? sume should be refuse to approve a bill appropriating money for various specified objects on the ground that it did not con? tain an appropriation for some other purposes." Speeches were also made by Represen? tatives Blackburn and Clymer and Gen. Johnston, who favored making the army bill more stringent, so as absolutely to prohibit the use of troops at the polls. Senator Bayard supported the recom? mendations of the advisory committee, and deprecated framing measures in such terms as to elicit new vetoes, as well as the idea of adjourning without providing supplies for the support of the govern? ment. Representative Stephens, of Georgia, said that the report of the committee met his approval, and recommended its adoption. Washington, June 3. accordance with the above ? Hon. Ebon C. Ingersoll, ex-Repre? sentative in Congress from Illinois, and a brother of Col. Robert Ingersoll, died at Washington early Saturday morning, of apoplexy. He was in his usual good health on Friday evening. Mr. Ingersoll was born in Oneida County, N. Y., in 1831, and went to Illinois in 1843. He studied law and was elected to the Illi? nois Legislature. He was elected to the Thirty-eighth Congress to fill the unex pircd term of Owen Lovejoy, and was re-elected to the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and Forty-first Congresses, serving the most of the time as chairman of the Committee on the District of Columbia. ? The burglar Slevins, in the course of his disclosures and confessions in re? gard to the Manhattan (New York) Bank robbery, told the police captain to whom he confessed that when the bank author? ities applied to Congress to have the stolen bonds cancelled and re-issued to the bank, the burglars raised a "pool," taxing each man ?600, in order to fee a lobbyist to have the action of Congress obstructed and delayed, so that they might dispose of their bonds, which the passage ot the act would have reudercd worthless. There was delay in the pass? age of the bill, and new the New York papers are anxious to know whom this lobby fee was paid to. ? The last story told of Prince Bis? marck is marked with his usual condens? ed and caustic humor. Prince Batten berg, the newly-elected ruler of Bulgaria, paid a visit to the chancellor of the Ger? man Empire, and asked his advice about accepting the post offered him. "Take it by all means," said the chancellor; "it will always be a pleasant souvenir."

FRANCIS MARION. A Beautiful "Word Portrait of tho Crt-ut Revolutionary Hero. The following sketch of Gen. Marion, delivered some time ago before the Ma? rion Artillery by J. P. K. Bryan, Esq., one of the most talented young men of Charleston, is so eloquent and polished in its composition as to afford pleasure at any time, and therefore we publish it be? low: Captain and Gentlemen of the Marion Artillery: It is with a grateful sense of your kindness and the honor done me that I rise to respond to the sentiment that for you is enwrapped in "The mem? ory of Francis Marion," that great citizen soldier of the State, one of the noble workers of the Revolu? tionary struggle, whose name is the com? mon heritage of his countrymen." That name you have enshrined here; to that memory you have set up an altar of con? tinual remembrance, and invoked it as the inspiration of your civic and martial life. It is well for me that that name speaks always for itself, that it needs no inter? preter, that its spell is as subtle as it is universal, living in tradition and romance and poetry, where it has eluded the slow? er grasp of sober history. The memories, gentlemen, that cluster round it recall some of the noblest feeling and highest living that has illustrated the majesty of manhood and ennobled the dignity of hu? man nature. It recalls the self-sacrifice and heroism of the Huguenots?those grand exiles for conscience?the force and fervor of their creed, their deathless love of liberty and virtue. It recalls a strong character, high sentiments, simple and noble manners, the flower and fruit of noble mind. It recalls right thinking and plain living, personal honor, undaun? ted courage and whole-souled devotion to the common weal. It recalls a mili? tary insight that was genius, and a mar? tial fire that was inspiration. It recalls all the dangers and daring of partisan warfare on which hung the destiny of an oppressed people, and the cause of civil liberty in the modern world. It re? calls the historic fame of Fort Sullivan, our own Fort Moultrie, on yonder sea-girt island?Eutaw, Savannah, and the name? less and countless battles in the forest fortress, where, with a handfuljoffaithful followers,Tie baffled or dispersed the ar? mies sent to destroy him, and kept alive the fire of patriotism in a State that was well-nigh overwhelmed in despair. On the very threshold of our life as a people there is set up a great historical picture that must ever stir the heart, exalt and inspire the mind of all the children of this Niobe of States, whom we call Mother. When Charleston was taken and Moultrie was a prisoner of war, and his companions in arms were his fellow captives, and Sumter, sick and wounded bad retired from the field, and Gates de? feated and broken, and the State garri? soned from seaboard to mountains by the foe, and her Governor was in a sister Colony pleading with his eloquence for aid for a stricken people, Marion alone led the forlorn hope, led it heroically and cheerfully, in the face of almost certain ruin, with the quenchless hope and daunt? less courage of a prophet. These are the memories that make a people great. These are the memories familiar but immortal?that make this land, even in its ruin and desolation, a land of hope. These are the memories which, as a people, we cannot forget, which in late years, amid the peril of war and the sterner hardships of peace, have made us men. Your distinguished commander has this evening portrayed the place and power of the citizen soldier in a free country. There is, in the annals of our State, no higher type of these guardians of popu? lar right and national stability than Fran? cis Marion. The patriot whose genius and courage revived the despairing cause and bore up the faltering spirit of his countrymen, was a plain citizen, a planter ofSantee. He had, like Washington, only an elementary education. He had no training of the schools, no technical knowledge of military science, no lore of books, no experience of travel. But he had the faculties and instincts of a strong, simple nature. He knew men. He knew the human heart as he knew the stars of heaven and the trackless forest. And not only did he know, but he loved his fellow-man, and the welfare of his fellow-citizen. And more than all he loved liberty, not as an empty name, a glorious lie to fool the crowd, but as the priceless boon of freemen, the inalien? able right of humanity, possible of reali? zation, and which, as a divine spirit of life and light and blessing would, if wor? shipped and invoked, descend and dwell with men. It was native wisdom, the simple virtues of head and heart, the manly instincts of courage and honesty, the fearless energy of thought and feel? ing, all transfused with the glow of pat? riotism, that made this citizen-soldier and chieftain great. The heartfelt tribute of his comrade in arms, Col. Lee, was: "Beloved by his friends and respected by his enemies, he exhibited a luminous ex? ample of the beneficial effects to be pro? duced by an individual, who, with only small means at his command, possessed a virtuous heart, a strong head, and a mind devoted to the common good." Such, gentlemen, is the man, the citizen sol? dier, chieftain, patriot and hero, whose name and memory it is our common priv? ilege as his fellow-countrymen to cherish and to guard, your peculiar privilege as members of the Marion Artillery to exalt in your emulation of an illustrious ex? ample. ? In one of his speeches at the Queen's College celebration at Kingston the other day, the Marquis of Lome said: "The only serious want I detect in your or? ganization is that there is no provision here for a Celtic chair, for the teaching of the Gaelic language. I am sure that in this opinion all our Irish friends will join, for what is a Highlander but an Irishman? What is he but a Danish Irishman, speaking a language which I am sure would be pronounced by the masters to be a mutilated form of the old Irish language." The college has conferred the degree of LL. D. upon the Marquis. ?
