August Town Meeting.
On Tuesday last, meetings were held
Throughout the State, for tho purpose of
electing Representatives. to the General
Assembly, and Delegates to the Con-
vention, which is to he held in this town
on the I'd Monday of the present month,
to form u new Constitution.
In this town the meeting convened at
10 o'clock, A. nj. and Henry Y. Grams
ton, Esq was chosen Moderator. The
choice Of Representatives to The Gene
raj Assembly being the first business,
the following gentlemen were elected
for the usual .semi-annual term, viz
HENRY Y. CRANSTON,
RICHARD X. RANDOLPH,
GEORGE G. KING,
JOSEPH II. PERRY,
SILAS Fl. COTTRELL,
JOHN ALFRED HAZARD.
Mr.. Hazard was elected in place Of
James Iorswcll, who declined a re-
election.
The next business was the choice Of
Delegates to the Convention. Nomi-
nations were made and each Delegate
was elected separately-ihe following
gentlemen, in the order in which they
stand, without opposition, viz
HENRY Y. CRANSTON,
RICHARD X. RANDOLPH,
EDWARD w. LAWTON.
Mcssrs. William Ennis and George
Hall were then nominated in opposition
to each other, for the 4th deIepate.-
Pending this vote, il was moved by Mr..
Joseph Lyon, and agreed TO, that the
polls be kept open till sunset for the
choice Of this delegate. After the ex-
pration Of an hour or more, one Of the
freemen, who voted TO keep the polls
open till sunset, rcccdcd from his vote,
aud moved that the town recedc also,
and that the voting cease at o'clock,
Z. NJ. which was agreed to. AT il o.
clock the vote was declared, as follows:
For Ennis, 1873
For Hall, 1913
Majority for Ennis, 0.
While the voting was slowly going
on for the 4th Delegate, the freemen
fixed upon the hour OF halfpast II to
take up the subject Of re-inyesting the
Board ol Commissioners Of the New
port Asylum, with the power Of choos-
ing the Keeper and Matron Of said es-
tabllshment. When the hour arrived,
IN order to bring the subject fairly be-
fore the meeting, Mr.. George Engs
moved that the law, passed in February
last, which took the power Of choosing
Keeper and Matron Of the Asylum out
Of the hands Of the Board of Commits
sloners, be repealed. Several gentle
tlemen expressed their opinions in favor
OF repeating the law, believing that tho
interest of the establishment, as well
as OF the town, required that the up
pointing power should be vested in the
Board, us it ever had been, with the
single exception referred to. There was
no opposition to re-invcsting the Com
missloncrs with the powers heretofore
by them--thc only question
raised was, by one or two gentlemen,
the Commissioners would not
turn out the present Keep
or, II they were restored 10 their former
privilege 1t being satisfactorily as
ceitained, however, that the Commis-
'ioncrs had not even interchangcd opn-
Ions upon that point--and that if they
were disposed TO remove the Keeper.

BY c. Y. HOFFMAN.

Yes. even here, no, less than in the crowd,
Here, where Jon vault in formal sweeps seems
piled
Upon the pines, monotonously proud,
Fit dome for fame, within whose hoary veil
No ribald vote and echo hath defiled--
Where Silence seems srticulate; un.stealing
Like low anthem toward that sky so pallet
Oppressive on my bosom weighs the feeling
OF thoughts that language cannot Shape aloud
For song too solemn, and for prayer too wild,
Thoughts which beneath no human power could
quail,
For lack Of uttersnce. IN abssement bowed
The cavcrn'd waves that struggle for revealing
Upon whose idle foam alone Gods light hath sm-
ed.
H.
Ere long thine every stream shall find tongue,
Land of The Many Waters But the sound
OF human music, these wild bills among,
Hath no one save the Indian mother flung
Its spell of te ndernessi Oh, Ger this ground
SO ,edoleut of Beauty, hath there played no breath
OF human roesy-none beside the word
OF Love, as murmured these old boushs beneath
Same fierce and savage sutton it hath stirred
To gentle issues-none but these been heard,
No mind. no soul here kindled but u1y own1
Doth not one hollow trunk about resOnnd
With the faint echoes Of Il song long flown,
BY shadows like itself now haply heard alone.

From that meek land such Tirans of the glade.
Yet wherefore primal when beneath my ttead

Roots that the Denge wave hath plunged below
Seed that the Deluge wind hath scattered;

WASHINGTON, August a, 1872.


The debate was protracted to late
hour again, yesterday, upon the Revenue
Bill, and scores OF amendments were pre-.
scented upon almost all the sections of the
bill. They came mainly from the Loco
Focos and impracicable Wings. Mr..
Preston and Mr.. Rives proposed amend.
ments, among others, and debated the
propositions they submitted, thus ailing
the Loco Foco members in their embar-
rassmeuts Of the bill, which, it was obv-
Gus enough, could not be amended. Mr..
L. pres nted n great many amendments
through the day, and many that lie IN
tended to offer seemed 10 be distributed a
mong the Loco Focos. Mr.. McRoberts
and Mr.. Tsppon took part in the prcsen-
ia,ion, and a more prominent part was ia
ken by NJ, ssrs Woodbury. and Wright.
The hours of the day flew by with those
interruptions.
At five o'clock, for while no one rails
ing to report the bill, there was call for
the question. At this moment, Mr.. Ben.
ton showed himself as much of marplot
as ever. He rose and gave notice that
he had many amendments yet to offer,
upon the subject of salt, and on all of
which he had something TO say. The
Senate were too much j. ded out to grant
him hearing las, night, and his object of
further delay was thus accomplished by
the adjournment of the Senate. There is
a faint hope that the bill will be reported
to the Senate TO night.
The bill to reduce tho Army was re-
ported to the Senate last evening, and
will pass to-day. The previous question
is sill pending.

The new canal m.packet Gallant
returned to Georgetown on the Goth ult.,
from a trip to the Great Falls of the Po-
tomac. This trip, it is said, has dissipat-
ed every doubt upon the subject of the
application Of steam power to the nav'ga-
ton Of The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
The Georgetown Advocate says:
One thing only is deficient to make the
Gallant at once a very complete specimen
of what canal steam packet ought TO be,
and that can be very easily and quickly
supplied. She wants speed. Instead OF
seven miles per hour, as was anticipated
from the nominal power Of her engine,
she will not now make over five, rate
of travel quite too dull for her purpose
and not to be long tolerated.

BUNKER Hill MoNUMENT.-We learn
from the Boston Daily Advertiser, that
the Cap Stone Of the Monument forming
the apex Of pyramid, was laid on Satnr.
day morning, in the presence OF the Dl-
rectors of the Monument Association, and
number oil citizens. AS the clock struck
six, signal gun was fired by the Charles
town Artillery, and the steampower for
raising the stone was Immediately put IN
motion. Mr.. Edward Carnes, Jr., wen,
up on the stone, which bore also the A.
merican flag. In l6 minutes the stone
reached the top Of the Monument, and at
alfpast six, it was laid IN cement, and a
national salute announced tina: the Mon.
ument was finished.
The corner stone ofthe monument was
laid June IT, 1925, in presence of Gen.
Lafayette, and great concourse Of cit
liens, among whom were large number
who had shared in the dangers and hon.
ors of the Battle of Bunker Hill. The
monument has been seventeen years in
in building-during more than half OF
which period the work was entirely sus-
pended.
Tho following is from the Bunker Hill
Aurora:
The structure, we may now say, Is
completed, although some considerable
work, in finishing off the exterior as well
rs the interior, yet remains to be done.
In the interior cone, about twenty small
blocks have been left, to enable the bull
ders to adjust their machinery, which is
now to be supplied. The outside Of the
work will also under 60 the finishing OPP

We understand that for short time,
arrangements will be made so that per-
sons may ascend to tho top of the struc.
