Their Individual View* ax to what Con gress ahuulil Do. Special lo the New York Herald. WASHINGTON, Juno 1. Tho political 7?ewb and opinion*, of Senator Butler, of South Carolina, which were published a few days ago, have at tracted so much attention here and else where that curiosity has been expressed to know what were the opiniona-of the remainder of the South Carolin i delega tion in Congress. Senator Hampton has been absent in New York all tho week ; hut his opin ions aro very well known ; ho holds that the army bili ought not to be allowed to fail, but that both the appropriation bills ought to bc passed, pure and simple, though if a majority of his pnrty pre ferred, he would agree to passa joint res olution continuing last year'H appropria tions until next february. Ho believes that the army ought to be supported aud its supplies given, and that the session ought uot tobe prolonged. VIEWS OF Mit. EVINS. Of the South Carolina representatives Mr. Evins said to a reporter that his views, ns already timi recently published, had uot changed. He is more convinced, if possible, than before of thc propriety of passing thc army bill and then ad-1 journing. The issue is narrowed down to this point, that we have to vote sup plies or abolish tho army-that is the naked question now, and I prefer to vote tho supplies. If tho Northern Demo crats desire to put themselves on the re cord as opposing the army appropriation bill they have only to vote against it. We aro 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, "nm 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 aud every man vote as they severally think they ought to vote." "WHAT y lt. RICIIARDriON TIIOUdHT. Mr. Richardson, being asked what he thought should be the course of the Democrats in reference to the appropria tion bills, said: "1 believe tho issues be tween tlie two parties have been made as ?marp and pointed as they can well be made. If the Northern Democrats can not carry tim country on tbs issues ivs they staud, they cannot carry it at all on any issue involving tho use of troops and deputy Uuited States marshals at the Jiolls. The South ha3 so far ouly fol? owed the load 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 beforo the country, as we wouid be were we to refuse to grant tho necessary sup plies to sustain the Covernment. We nave done u!i that tho 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 tho charge of being willing to injure or destroy one of the oranches of the Government, to effect, in an irregular way, that which tho Constitution seems to recognize as the right of the peeple, and only of thc people, to do. I am, therefore, for leaving it to tho people to tmy whether they wilt now enable the Democratic party to effect the abolition of the uso of troops and United States marshals at elections. It is clearly now their time to act. We have exhausted our clearly defined constitutional reme dies, and to do more is to invade the province of the people themselves. 1 think, therefore, wo should not leave here without passing the appropriation bills pure and simple. "I am inclined to think we should pass u separate bill abolishing the use of dep uty United States marshals in elections, aud one to abolish the juror'a test oath, and let tho President pass on these, as he has already passed on the question of the use of troops ot tho polls. I think he will likely approve the latter and veto tho former. This will but strengthen us berjre the country." Correspondent : "What about the Democratic party baking down?" Mr. Richardson: "I know thnt it is said by some that this courue would be a back down. The Republicans taunt us with bucking down, und they do it to keep us trout pursuing tho course I have indicated. Put I do not regard it as a buck down. I am not aware when or whero the party have pledged themselves to do more than wo have done. I know that individuals have 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 moro, but so far as I know the Democrats in the Forty-eixth Congress, neither in caucus cr elsewhere, stand pledged to anything moro than tl'ey bavo done. Put if this could be culled a back down I for ono would back down a hundred times beforo I would once do anything to injure or endanger tho security, the efficiency or the well being of our government in any of its branches." WHAT MR. TILLMAN FAVORS. Mr. Tillman said: "I am unqualifiedly in favor ? f voting all tho appropriation bills in go d time before the 30th of June, when the fiscal year expires. Put beforo voting tboso bills I would prefer to pass an income tax in order to make property bear its just share of the bur dens ol the uovernmcnt, and not to per mit mere consumption to havo to bear it nil. It is a Bhame that Vanderbilt'.-; car riage driver should havt to pity as much tax as Vanderbilt himself; tor tho tobac co and whiskey and other articles his family consume pay quite as much or more than what his employer's family consume. Pefore voting the appropria tion bills I would aleo prefer to pass an act defining with more precision tho 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 violen' departure from the old landmarks, which was caused by passionate and ill-consid ered legislation during and since thc war. I believe tho President would veto both these measures, as ho has done the other measures for restoring constitutional gov ment paused by thc present Congress, and - is also likely to do for the silver bill for tho relief of the people. I am in favor of all these measures, in order that the Democracy may have well crystallized issues to go before the people, and ap peal to the National Labor and Green back parties, and all other elements of opposition to tho Republican party." MR. AIKEN'S VIEWS. Mr. Aiken said: "I do not believe tho Federal Government has any right to in terfere ..?th the elections. I think that is a State matter; but if thoy do inter fere it should bo through civil officers, and an Federal marshals and supervisors are civil officers, I would be willing to havo that law continuo rather than ob struct tho wheels of government by with holding tho appropriations. When we pass the legislative bill we ought not to have thc words marshal or supervisor iu it. I have different views in regard to the army bill. I think the civil power should control this government^ and that tho military should he subservient to it. I do not see any reason why there should ever he soldiers at the polls, and I will uot vote for the army hill on that ac count. Mr. Hayes says the soldiers will never b<> sent to the polls during his ad ministration. Why, then, should he bo willing to clog tlie wheels of government hy refusing to Bign a hill forbidding them to he sent to the polls at any time ? Such a power ought not to he left tc the mere personal caprice or pique of any execu tive. Ho has conceded every argument offered against the use of troops when he says that ho will not uso them, and if after surh concession he secs fit to refuso to sign thc hills we should refuse to grant him supplies. The fact is the Republi can party have never seen soldiers at tho polls in the light that we of thc Demo cratic party nave seen them, because when they wero at the polls they were avowed friends of the Republican party, i If the reverse was the caso and a Demo cratic President were in powor and were to send Democratic aoldiers of his selec tion to overawe Republican voters we would find the Republicans crying out and kicking against Buch 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 a Constitutional provision. In ten years more, at this rate, wo will have in this country the prettiest empire you ever saw, unless the conservative agricul tural clement comas to the rescue of the government." MB. O'CONNOR'S OPINIONS. Mr. O'Connor was asked : "Are you in favor of passing tho army appropriation bill, pure and simple, before adjourn ment?" Mr. O'Connor: "After tho issue made by Congress with the Executive upon this measure-insisting that he should be prohibited from interfering with the freo elections of the people and surrounding their pollB 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 bo made an iesue between the pow ers of the executive and the legislative departments of tho government, in which struggle the Congress should be forced to succumb. I do not think concession nt ? thia lime can bode any good to the tbr tuneB of tba Democratic party, with whom rests to-day the preservation of our free institutions. My idea is that upon receiving tho 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 tho Federal election laws so r: to prevent United States marshals domineering at the polk and taking the control of the election" ontirely out of the hands 01" me State officers. Pass these and send them to the President. At tho same time they should pass the legislativo and executive appropriation bill, and tho judiciary appropriations should be so tied up that not one dollar could be expended by the department of justice to run the electiou machinery in the iuterests of thc Republican pnrty. I think, also, that an army appropriation bill, with a repealing clause prohibiting the presence of armed troops nt tho polls, but striking out the words civil officer*, which the President made tli3 pretext for his first veto, so as to leavo him no shad ow of ground of right upon which to veto such an appropriation bill, should bc passed, and ic that shape send it to him, aud with him leave the responsibility of its refusal. After Congress has done" all this, vrhich 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 he the action of tho President, and safely go to tho pcoplo for their vindication. If the appropriation for the army is voted plain and simple it will bo received as a complete back down of the Democracy throughout the coun try, and will intensify thc aggressive spirit of the Republican pnrty, which is hourly growing. Thc issues have been forced upon tho present Congress by a former one, and they have to be consid ered in the light of tho bearing they will havo upon the existence of tho Demo cratic party; for if by any mistake of conduct or policy this party should fail in tho next campaign, the Presidency bo secured to the Republicans and the House wrested from the Democracy, it will bc a sad hour fer the liberties of the American people." THE WICKEDIST BOOK AGENT.-A clever fellow, an expert in tho calling, rang the door bell, and soon the lady of Ibu house was before him. Said he : "Will you be kind enough to take this book and give it-?" "I guess not to-day, sir," said she, closing the door. "But, madam, you don't understand. I only wftnt you to give it- 1" "I cannot possibly to-day, sir ; I'm very busy." "Why, ray dear madam, tho folks in tho next house aro away ; won't you please hand it to them when they re turn? It's a valuable work, and you will save mo many steps and also oblige tho lady very much."

Chnrlriton New? atul Courier. The Centennial of Ireland's great bard waa celebrated with fitting honors nt Hibernian Park yesterday, by tho open ing of the annual two dayB* festival under the auspices of tho Park Associa tion. Tho Park was well filled with pleasure-seekers, and in the afternoon, when the centennial address was deliv ered, a goodly number of thc fuir sex, and of thc sterner sex, too, gnthercd under the grand old oaks, which shade tho Park, to hear the praises of Tom Moore sung by as gallant a soldier and as silver-tongued au orator us ever owed Iiis origin to tho laud of Emmett and Moore. Capt. B. F. McCabe, in an appropriate allusion to tho event, introduced Col. James Armstrong, the orator of the day, who spoke as follows : To-day in mnuy lands the scattered but devoted children of dear Erin meet to gether to commemorate the ceutt nnial of Thomas Moore. Hero on this bright, glad May day, beneath this summer splendor of foliage and sunshine, waving banners of green and gold-where the symbolic barp is seen, and where brave and true, fresh and pure hearts throb in unison with this event, and aro thrilled with tho gladdening memories it awakcus-wo swell the great chorus which arises from countless thousands in recalling tho genius and patriotism of Ireland's chosen Bard. j The very name of Tom Moore should engender thought aud inspire sentiment. The rich sunshine of his song dispelled the mists from tho smiling valleys, and made gladsome the sparkling streams of his native land, i which he devoted the depth, tho tenderness, the beauty and strength of bis genius. He loved Ire land with an ardor and enthusiasm that only death could extinguish. It is not my province to assign Iiis true place in thc galaxy of poets. 1 have neither thc time nor talent to prove that he reached a proud heighth on Parnassus. Thc British reviewers said that ho 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 thn ?cene is in thc E;;:;t, the wrongs of Ireland suggested and inspired his matchless verse. Ho never believed that success alone can make the patriot -misfortune always makes the rebel. With what beauty and force he express es it: "Rebellion' foul, dishonoring word, Whose wrongful blight so oft hos stained The holiest cause that tongue or swoid Of mortal ever lost or gaiu'd. How many a spirit, born to bless. Hath sunk beneath that wlthio lng name, Whom but a day's, an hour's success, lied wafted to eternal fame." But, my friends, it is bis sweet and enchanting melodies that I love to re call. They conjure up delightful associ ations and tender recollections of by gone times, and revive those golden hours of youth which many of you passed by the verdant slopes of tho Suir, the Lilly, the Barrow, the Blackwater, the Foyle, the Lee, and tho .Shannon. Delightful old Christopher North said that "of all the song writers that ever warbled or chanted, or sung the best, io our estimation, is verily none other than Thomas Moore." Many of bis songs, my friends, aro both sad and sweet sweet as tho 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, aud they were followed with the whisper of a mother's prayer. They strike tho 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 greeu in memory. The mois tened eye, the quivering lip, the silent prayer prove "Wert thou all that I wish thee, great, glorious, and free. First dow r of the earth, and first gem of the seo, I might bull thee with prouder, willi happier brow, Rut, uh! could I love thee moro deeply than now? "Ko, thy chains os they rankle, thy blood as it runs, Rut malic theo more painfully dear to thy sons Whoso hearts, Uko tho young of the desert-bird's nest, Drink love In each life-drop that flows from thy breast." Mooro waa ono of Emmett's early friends and warm admirers. How ten derly ho speaks of tho gifted young martyr: "Oh! breathe not bil name, let it sleep in the shade, Whore told and uuhonor'd his relics are laid ; Sad, silent, and dark, be tho tears that ne > tied, As tho night dow that falls on tho grass o'er bis head. "Dut thc night dew that falls, though in silenco lt weeps, Shall brighten with vcidure tho grave where he sleet* ; And thc tear that we abed,though in secret il rolls, MeiU long keep his memory green lu our souls." How grandly ho tells of the former greatness and renown of Ireland : '.Let Erin remember the days ol old, Ere her faithless sons betray har; When Malachi wore tho collar of gold. Which ho won from the proud invader; When her Kings, with standard of green unfurled, iA-d the Red Uraach Knights to danger ; Era the Emerald gem of tho Western world Was set In tho ciown of a stranger." Washington Irving hos 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 ls far from the land whero her young hero sleeps, Amt lo*?r. iir> roi...rt l..?r .l^hln?; Rut coldly she turns from their gaze and weeps, For her heart in his grave is lying. 'lie li;.d lived for his love, for bis country he died, They wero all that to lifo bad entwined bim , Nor soon shall tho tears of his country bo Ulled, For long will his love stay behind him. "Oh ! make her a grave where thc sunbeams rest, Where they promise a glorious morrow ; They'll shine o'er her sleep, like a smile from tho West, From her own loved Island of sorrow." Fletcher, of Saltoun, said: "If a man wero permitted to m?ko all tho ballads, ho need net care who should mako the inn.a QT ? nation." While Moors msy have 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 bis country bis language shot forth as lightning, as beautiful and as fatal. "It burned with ita electric fire piercing as the pointed steel, or lambent as a ray of light." Whero is the freeman who fails to admire tho ringing, thrilling tones of "Rut 'tis past-and tho' blazoned In story, Tho name of our victor may be. Accursed la thc march of that glory Which treads o'er the hearts of tho free. "Far dearer the grave or tho prison, Illulia.I by ono patriot came, Than tie- trophies of all who havo risen On liberty's ruins lo fame." Ono of Moore's melodics conveys the lesson, and impresses it deeply, that wo should havo lovo for all wno boar tho namo of Irishman : "Erin, thy silent tear never shall cease; Erin, thy languid smiio ne'er shall increase, Till, like tho rainbow's light. Thy various tints unite. Aud torm lu Heaven's sight, One arch of peace." Tho purest beauty and stateliest^gcan denr pervades "Hie Harp that once through Tara's Halls." Moore's songs i have lightened tho labor of the hardy j Swiss mountaineer. They are sung by ' the muleteers ol Spaiu, They cheer the Canadian fishermen. Their melody * glides into the heart of tho gondoliers of I Venice. They are heard in the palace i of the prince as well as in thc cabin of ! the peasant. The venerable and beloved j Archbishop Mcllale, whom O'Connell j aptly termed "tho Lion of the fold of ; Judah," has translated many of them j into Irish. My honored friend, .Father ICroghan, informs me, (and he is excel j lent authority) that some of Moore's I melodies in Irish fall upon the car as ; sweetly and soothingly as did the music of tho harp of David to tho troubled ! breast of Saul, while the martial airs re sound as stirring and inspiring as the old rebel yell which bc heard in Virgiuia, or tho ringing battle shout of the famous I "Connaught Rangers." I cannot conclude these crude, imper fect and disjointed utterances without i 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 thc . domestic circle his virtues shone pre j eminent. Thc molten wealth, the lava of gold and gems of his poetry, have ! elicited the admiration of the world ; but ! what ia far more precious, more .vortby of commendation, grander, nobler, bet I ter, he was a fond, faithful and affection ? atc husband. His home was the scat of I contentment and happiness. The very j air of his dwelling was redolent of piety j and love, and vocal with thc soft and i enchanting melody of "thc 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 outrivalied the splendor i of the Oriental sky. His household gods j were more precious than the world's ap ! plause. Thomas Moore fills an honored nicht j in Fame's proud temple. His poems will i continue to melt the heart with theil . warmth of coloring and their tender aud J impassioned sentiments as long as tin I tints of the flowers attract the eye, while j tho brilliancy of the stars enkindles tin ! fancy, or the beauties of the landscape j enrapture the vision. His memory wil j be cherished in every true Irish heart and his melodies will cause every Irisl heart to vibrate with lofty and generou I emotions. May each succeeding anni versary find his admiring countrytnei celebrating with enthusiasm the birthday of "Tho poet of all circles and thc ido of bia owu.v" At the close of this address, which it i needless to say was delivered in a mos e'oquent and impressive stvle, and whicl was frequeutly interrupted with round of hearty applause, the Rev. C. J. Crog han called the attention of the andiene to tlie fact that there was on the stage gentleman who was born in the sam county and on the same day cf thc yen with Tom Moore, and who was peroonail acquainted with the great poet, ile ai 1 uded to Mr. George Addison, who wa thereupon called upon by the crowd, an who responded briefly, giving some c his recollections of Moore. This ended the ceremonies, and le tlie crowd at leisure to stroll around th Pat', and seo thc sights. Tho day's prc gramme was carried out without a Bingi mishap, and to tho entire satisfaction < all who were fortunate enough to I present. AN OLD ROMAN HOUSE. Interesting KxcuvntlmiK un tito Hunks i tho Tiber. The ancient Roman house lately di covered in making thc excavations c I the banks of ibo Tiber in the gardens < Palazzo Faruesina is even more inter?s ing than was at first supposed. I hi arranged to visit tho excavations wit tho director-general of hydraulic worl at Italy, but an unexpected riso in tl Tiber having covered the mosaic pav ments, and thfi rare paintings on ii walls having ai ready been removed, I a obliged to accept tue description of a other. The frescoes on thc walls have bei taken to the magazine of the Archieolr. cal Commission in the convent of Sai Francesco Romana, but they will soon placed in tho Museo Kircheriano in tl Roman college. Those persons who ha not seen them in their original posith will there be ablo to examine them their leisure.

Thc Senate, by a volo of yeas 28 nays 10, took up tho bill reported yesterday by Senator Bayard, from the judiciary committee, relating to juries and to thc repeal of Sections 801, 820 and 82). of the Revised Statutes. Senator Hampton, of South Carolina, after briefly supporting tl?ia bill, pro ceeded lo speak upon tho general politi cal issues of tho session. Ho could not claim to speak as tho leader of his party, nor would ho try to shield himself from tho consequences of his actions behind any party. If thc policy supported by him was revolutionary nnd treasonable, ho was a revolutionist and traitor. But what policy is before congress worthy of such a charge ? Continuing, Senator Hampton i.aid : By no vote of mino will the appropria tions necessary for tho efficient main tenance of thc army bo refused. It is competent for Congress to declare under what limitations nnd conditions appro priations shall be made. Tho form in which this is done I regard immaterial. In my judgment it would have been best to adhere to thc 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 thc army or impairing its efficiency, lt is the army of the South as well as of tho North. It is tho army of the whole country. In its histoiy from the days of tlic Revolution I have Home reason, by right of my birth and blood, to be proud. In the late civil contest on many bloody fields 1 tested its valor, aud no word or act of mine shall depreciate its valor und lessen its usefulness: but because I so regard it uo act of mino snail tend tu degrade it. I will not so legislate that against its own honorable instincts and traditions it aha'! be an instrument ol tyrauuy in thc hands of any factious party, Of any unscrupulous Executive who may desire il. Nor shall I assent, because of any difference of opinion be tween tho minority and majority, to closo the courts of justice or embarras! the life of the Government. Tho Con stitulion has provided means by wuicl an appeal to tho couutry can bo lind, ant it is for the people to decide whether tin Presidential veto has been wisely uset to defeat tho will of Congress, whicl represents the majority of the pcopic. Senator Hampton proceeded to sir that he had no intention to embarras tho Administration, and, although Ix considered the provisions of the bill just bo recoguized thc difficult position ii which tho Executive found himself. H said th; i bis people remembered that ii a critical period of their history, whet any injudicious action would havo beci fatal, tho President by a ennscicntiou construction of his duty removed Unite* States troops from Louisiana and Soul! Carolina, and thus euabled the pcopl to restore their local government to thus who represented the popular will. Fe this wiso and patriotic action he wa grateful, and whilo it would be his dui to oppose the policy of which the Pres: dent was tho representative, that opposi tion would not be captious nor such : to drive tho President into coalition wit those who would madly trample on th rights of tho people in their struggle * retain power. Senator Hampton said that his part was denounced for wishing to rcstrii Federal uso of the troops, but men big in the Republican party, whose wort be quoted, bad also pointed out and di uouucod the danger and abuses of sue use. It was not the immediate action < the army that ho feared, but the ultima, cirent of its misuse, and he would oppos any legislation giving tho General Go? eminent power to interfero in any wu with elections. Better huvo turbulent in one or two great cities than militai despotism in tue whole country. It hi been complained that Confed?ralo oil eera were sent here as legislators. Near evory man in tho South boro arms, ni she could hardly bo blamed for trustii ber interests in peace to those who ?iski their lives and fortunes for her in wi He thought that if tho North had ho ored in like manner those who foug her battles, the legislation of the cou try would not bo embittered by tho r vival of sectioual hate. If tho Nor was sincere in inviting tho Southe Slates to return to the Union, she shou bo glad they sent their best and mt honored men to represent them. Tl South lind no apology to make for t past, and to recall that past now is n in the interest of that harmony forwhi tho whole country longs. Tho Sou asks to have stricken from thc statt books laws which aro thc product of d trust as much us wero tue armica a navies. If you asked us, said he, come back as States, treat us as Stat Join hands with us to establish Natioi liberty as understood by our fathers. Senator Hampton's address nrouv frequent applause in the galleries. THE BPEECH OF SENATOR DAYAItl) Senator Bayard then spoke at lenj in support of the bill, lie condemi tho action of tho President in criticisi as he had done in his veto message, i methods and practices of Congress, s said it was not incumbent upon President to interest himself in par! mcnlnry reforms. Ho then referred the Federal jury laws, explained th working, and pointed out the absurd of allowing ex-Confederates to hold highest office under the government i nt tho sumo time excluding them fr the jury box. The present bill, he sr was framed to secure perfect impart?a in thc formation of juries to try polit1 cases, where such impartiality is of greatest importance. Ho said that veto power was given to the Presiden prevent the passago of bad bills tbroi inadvertence or design. Such was tho caso with tho present bills.

Senator Edmunds then moved to amend tho pending bill by tho addition of a clause prohibiting tho 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 coiloquv between Senator? Hill, of Geor gia, and Conkling, of New York, and n short speech by tho latter. Senator Thurman remarked that the gentleman (Conkling) had perhaps read of a celebrated English statesman, who said he acquired cloquenco hv speaking every day and on every subject for the first years of his career, and was imita ting the latter's example. After debate tho amendment wns re jected. Several other ameudmeutn were proposed and discussed in a desultory manner, o id thc Renato adjourned with out action on tho bill. Tin; Ohio Nominal lons. COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 4. The Democratic State Convention or ganized hero to-day by the election of Saml. F. Hurd, of Cincinnati, ns perma nent chairman. The following ticket was nominated : For Governor, Thomas Ewing, of Fairfield ; Lieutenant Gover nor, A. V. Hice, of Putnam; Treasurer, Anthony Howells, of Stark ; Judge of the Supremo Court, W. J. Gilmore, of Treble; Attorney General, Mr. Spillars, of Allen. Thc platform adopted demands a fair election without the interference of tho military power. It says that tlie laws enacted ny Congress which, under tho pretence of regulating Congressional elections, interfere with the election of State officers and overthrow the laws of States governing thc choice of such offi cers, aro unconstitutional and ought to bo repealed. It demands a change in the Federal jury laws, so that juries cannot bc packed and controlled by tho 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 tc? allow all supplies to bo voted unless the ma jority would consent to the use of troops at tho 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 tho country, and that ho deserves tho con demnation of the whole Americaii people, it asserts that President Hayes by inter posing the veto to defeat constitutional and well-considered legislation has dis regarded the intentions of the framers of thc Constitution and thc wishes and wel fare of tho people, and that it is the sense of the Democracy of Ohio that not a dollar should bo appropriated by Con gress to pay soldier?, marshals or super visors to interfere with elections. The financial plank of tho platform reaffirms the principles heretofore advo cated by the party in Ohio, favors the abolition of thc present national bank ing system, tho substitution of green backs for national bank notes, and de clares that tho demonetization of silver v/;is a monstrous fraud on the people, and that it should be restored to its piuco on an equality with gold. An additional resolution requesting the Democratic members of Congress not to voto for tho anny appropriation bill until provision be made to keep the army from influencing or intimidating the iieoplo at tho polls, was submitted by ?'rank Hurd in behalf of the minority of thc committee on resolutions, but was defeated by a heavy vote. THE GREENBACK NOMINATIONS. The Slate Greenback Convention met here to-day, with about five hundred del egates present. S. F. Carey was made permanent chairman, and tho following ticket nominated: Gor Governor, Gen. A. Sanders Piatt, of Logan County ; for Lieutenant Governor, Hugo Prior, of Stark County. Tho platform adopted favors tho dis tribution of civil and political rights without favoritism on account of birth, color, creed or financial condition. It demolida the issue by Government of an ample volumo of legal tender currency to meet tho business wants of the coun try. It charges tho present suffering and financial distress upon the old polit ical parlies, and deno.luces all reference to tho late civil war as revolutionary. It calls for tho aholiliun of tho national banking system, tho substitution of a graduated incomo tax for tho internal revenue laws, and tho calling in and pay ment of all United States bonds in legal tender notes. A minority report was also submitted by tho committee on the platform, and lcd to a bitter and excited discussion. "THE WOODS IH FULL OF 'EM." This expression is in frequent use in this State, both in conversation and composi tion, and yet its origin is probably knowu only to ono in a thousand of those who uso it. A gentleman who claims to know gave a reporter tho following as tho manner in which it was first used : In tho neighborhood of Washington, Wayne County, lived a well known char acter named Rill Dean. He was what is generally termed a "smart Aleck," al ways endeavoring to perpetrate a joke at somebody's expense. Ono day, while riding to Richmond, ovcry foot of which ho knew, he espied an old gentleman named Cbeezum, accoutered for a hunt, earnestly looking up a tree. Approach ing him Dcau asked : .'Can you tell mc the way to Rich- | mond t" "There was two of 'em run up this tree," was the responso of thc old gentle man, who was somewhat deaf. "I didn't ask you anything aboutsquir rels. How far is it to Richmond ?" "One of'em just went in that hole; didn't you see him ?" the old man anio earnestly. Out of patience, Dean yelled out : "You must be a d-d old fool 1" "Yes," Chcezum responded, still gazing upward, "tho woods is full of 'em. -In dtanajtulis Newt, - A beautiful young wife on tho North side has expended much ingenui ty in devising a scheme to keep her hus band at home nights, and it proves very effectual.

Three Distinct Hills to be Offered by the Majority. WASHINGTON, Juno 3. Thc Democratic membcra of the House and Senate held a joint caucus this after noon, to receive tho report of the joint advisory committeo in regard to the ap propriation bills. After several hours' deliberation, tho following programme was agreed upon : j The Housq committeo on appropria tions will immediately prepare for intro duction threo bills, as follows: Thonrmy appropriation bill vetoed by tho Presi dent with thc following new section in place of the section upon which the veto was based : "Section G. That no money appropria ted by this act is appropriated or shall bo paid for tho subsistence, equipment, transportation or compensation of any Cart of tho army of tho United States to o used as a police force to keep the peace at tho polls at any election held within any State." Thc bill extending the legislative, ex ecutive and judicial appropriation act of June 19, 1878, for one year from the 30th instant, for tho same sums and purposes therein specified. This bill will contain no general legislation, except that por tion of thc recently vetoed bill, known as tho McMahon amendment, providing for-tbe repeal of certain laws regulating payment of pensions. Last year's bill, which it is thus proposed to re-enact, provided for tho salaries of all Uniteu States judges, district attorneys and Uni ted States marshals, but made no appro priation for "judicial expenses," which, however, were subsequently provided for in thc sundry civil appropriation bill. Hence it was agreed that tho committeo on appropriations shall report a bill making appropriations in detail for all estimated judicial expenses except tho per diem of supervisoT and deputy mar shals of elections, and containing also the clause agreed upon last Saturday that no officer shall ho appointed and no obligation incurred for any purpogo not specifically appropriated for by Congress. This supplemental appropriation bill is also to embody thoso sections In tho vetoed appropriation bill which provide for amendments of tho law respecting the method of drawing juries.nnd for tho total abolition of thc jurors' test oath. The bill will also pr?vido that uo money therein appropriated shall he used for tees, salaries, compensation or expenses of any person appointed under Tille 20, Revised Statutes, which comprises tho Federal election laws ; also that no lia bility shall bo incurred for any object for which n specific appropriation shall not bo made by Congress. The appropriations committeo will meet to-morrow to prepare measures in accordance with tho programma above outlined. The proceedings of the caucus were unexpectedly harmonious, there being no material difference of opinion except regnrding tho army bill, and tho advisory committee's recommendation as to that was opposed by only a few mem bers of tho House, wbilo tho Bcnabyn present were unanimous in sustaining the entire report. Senator Thurman submitted thu report in behalf of the joint committee, and explained its features and the grounds upou which tho committoo based their conclusions. Ho scouted tho idea that this course could bo considered a "back ing down," Binco no Democratic caucus or committee had taken the position that supplies should bo withheld unless the President would acquiesce io tho repeal of obnoxious statutes. The repeal meas ures were proposed because they were believed to bo right, aud were placed on tho appropriation bills as the most con venient and speedy method of passage, and os the method giving the greatest Cirospect of Presidential approval. The 'resident had taken the responsibility of opposing the will of tho people, and thereby given the Democracy the benefit of tho 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 au appropriation for supervisors aud deputy marshals, Mr. Thurman said : "Does any ono believe that tho Presi dent will attempt to coerce us? Yet this would bo tho attitude he would as Burne should he refuse to approve a bill appropriating money for various specified objects on tho ground that it did not con tain an appropriation for some other purposes." Speeches were also made by Represen tatives Blcckburn and Clymcr and Gen. Johnston, who favored making the army bill more stringent, so as absolutely to prohibit tho usc of troops nt thc polls. Senator Baya; J supported the recom mendations of the odvisory committee, and deprecated framing measures in such terms as to elicit new vetoes, as well as tho idea of adjourning without providing supplies for tho support of tho govern ment. Representative Stephens, of Georgia, snid that tho report of tho committee met his approval, and recommended ito adoption. - Hon. Ebon C.

FRANCIS MARION. A noni' .Ifni Word Portrait of tho Great I&evolutionary Hero. Tho following ?ketch 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 ita composition as to afford pleasure at any time, and therefore wo publish it be low : Captain and Gentlemen of the Marion Artillera: It is with a grateful senHO of your kindness and tho honor done me that I rise to respond to tho sentiment that for you is enwrapped in "Tho mem ory of Francis Marlon," that groat citizen soldier of the State, one of tho noble workers of tlie Revolu tionary struggle, whoso name is thc 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 ns the inspiration of your civic and martial life. It ls 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. Thc memories, gentlemen, that cluster round it recall some of the noblest feeling and highest living that hos illustrated tho majesty of manhood and ennobled the dignity ol hu man nature. It recalls tho ?elf-sacrifieo and heroism of the Huguenots-those grand exiles for conscience-the force and fervor of their creed, their deathless love of liberty and virtue. ?I" recalls a strong character, high sentiments, simple and noble manners, the flower and fruit of noblo mind. It recalls right thinking and plain living, personal honor, undaun ted courngo and whole-souled devotion to tho common weal. It recalls a mili tary insight that was genius, and a mar tial Are that was inspiration. It recalls all tho dangers and daring of partisan warfare on which hung tho destiny of an oppressed people, and tho causo of civil liberty in tho modern world. It re calls tho historic fame of Fort Sullivan, our own Fort Moultrie, on yonder sea-girt island-Eutaw, Savannah, and thc name less and counties;! battles in tho forest fortress, where, with a hnndful?of faithful followers,lie baffled or dispersed thc ar ... :_. .. j?_._ |.* i . . .. uiicoacMvtu ucanujr aim, nnu Kepi Hlivu the fire of patriotism in aState that was well-nigh overwhelmed in despair. On tho very threshold of our lifo os a people lhere is set up a great historical picture that must ever stir the heart, exalt anti inspire the mind of all tho children of thia Niobe of States, whom wo call Mother. When Charleston was taken and Moultrie was a prison ar of wnr, and his companions in arms were his fellow captives, and Sumter, sick and wounded had retired from the field, and Gates de feated and broken, and the State garri soned from seaboard to mouutuiusby tho foe, and lier Governor was in a suiter Colony pleading with his eloquence for aid for a stricken people, Marion alone led the forlorn hope, lcd it heroically and cheerfully, in the face of almost certain ruin, with tho quenchless hope and dann t 1??9 courage or a prophet. These aro tho memories that mako a people great. These aro the momories familiar but immortal-that make this land, oven in its ruin and desolation, a land of hope. These aro tho memories which, as a people, we cannot forget, which in late years, amid tho peril of war and the stomer hardships of peaco, havo made us men. Your distinguished commander has this evening portrayed tho piuco and power of tho citizen soldier in a free country. There is, in tho nnuals of our State, no higher typo cf these guardians of popu lar right and national stability than Fran cis Marion. Tlie patriot whoso genius and courage revived tho despairing'cause and boro up tho faltering spirit of his countrymen, was a plain citizen, a planter of Santee. Ho had, like Washington, only an elementary education. Ho hnd no training of the schools, no technical knowledge of military science, no lore of bocks, no experience of travel. But he had the faculties and instincts of a atrong, simple nature. Ho knew men. Ho know tho human heart us he knew tho stars of heaven and thc trackless forest. And not only did ho know, but ho loved his fellow-man, and tho welfare of his follow-citizen. And more than all ho loved liberty, not as an empty name, a glorious lie to fool tho crowd, but as tho priceless boon of freemen, tho inalien able right of humanity, possible of reali zation, and which, as a divino spirit of life and light and blessing would, if wor shipped and invoked, descend and dwell with men. It was native wisdom, tito simple virtues of head and heart, tho manly instincts of courage and honest}', tho fearless energy of thought and fcc1, 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 bis euemies, ho exhibited a iuminous ex ample of tho beneficial effects to be pro duced by an individual, who, with only small means nt his command, possessed a virtuous heart, a strong head, and a mind devoted to the common good." Such, gentlemen, is the man, tho citizen sol ior, chieftain, patriot and hero, whoso namo and memory it is our common priv ilege as his fellow-countrymen to cherish and to guard, your peculiar privilege as members of tho ??uritm Artillery Coexnii in your emulation of an illustrious ex ample. - In ono of his speeches at tho Queen's College celebration at Kingston tho other day, thc Marquis of Lorne said: "Tho only serious want I detect in your or ganization is that thero is no provision here for a Celtic chair, for tho teaching of the Gaelic language. I am sure that in this opinion all our Irish friends will i join, for chat is a Highlander but an Irishman? What is ho but a Danish Irishman, speaking a ianguago which I am Bure would be pronounced by tho masters to be a mutilated form of the old Irish language." Tho college has conferred the degree of LL.
