| WASHINGTON MONUMENT AT RICHMOND
\ correspondent oi tho Providence Journal, writ
ins from Munich, gives the following in:eres,n;
sketch Of the progrce. made by Crawford, in tn
work entrusted 10 him by the State Of Virginia:
Tho group Of statues modelled by Crawford Z
adorn the Wellington Monument at Richmond /
partly finished, aul is truly admirable production
Tho igutes Of Henry aud Jefferson already cart
aud placed in the Crystal Palace, now open, an
form the nOblast ornaments OF that exhibition. In
figure of Henry il remarkably sriri;cd and heroic II
it, attitude. Il IS Elnn-t alive with action. The pm
rio is represented in the net of addressing hi. roun
trvnsn.in the memorable speech which helped 70 ~
the ball OF tho Revolution in motion. This artist hn
evidently chosen that n0!-nt when, with ell The po"
er OF his elOqurnce, .he orator launches his nVec
tiyrs aYainst tho tyranny q! ;le mother country
and appealing To ho corlpatvios 20 resist II, al what
ever cost, he coses with tho declaration 81 care ne
what course other. may pursue: but, az Tor me- CIV
! ule liberty or give me death The figure "t J"tte
son il not less na;es,ie and Hou.o than that ri icr
! ~. The statrsnan is represented III al Ht'itu'in
cain dignity, holding il; one hant len, and III IN
other tho Declaration ot Independence Inc INC
has aspect Of earnest ;houghtiulnrss mingled wit
determination. Tho d.GpaTy is Il r!"Lk thrown care
lessly over tho shoulders and falling III eisy fold
about the figure.
Tn. series will consist of Ave statues, ell of color
-a size, aud if the oihers NJ" executed with al inuc
feeling, good taste and genuine appreciation "f tn
sui.rct rs is exhibited in thrsr tho work must prov
QUO of tho successful ever undertaken. Th
drsign Of the monument is in this form OF star an
the statues aru to be placed at tho termination
tho rays, surrounding central aud elevated pc'iet
tG, upon which the cGuestrian statue OF WashlrSto
will be raised The model OF this in plns,er is at In
foundry, and preparations are making for casting
at once. The horse und rider cannot be less tha
twenty five feet high, and appear truly gigantic.
The Know-So;hinss DO not appear 10 be in lnnc
judicial favor. At the opening OF the Honesdae. Pa
Court thi. week, His Honor james ". Porter, Pres
den, Judge. strongly charged the Grand Jury sgains
all combinations OF persons banirI together by vowt
oGlhs or other obligations, for the purpOse-rhctht
accomplished no.--of depriving any citizen, na:iv
or nnnrnzed, of any right or rights given TO him b
the Constitution and laws OF Peun,y ylvania OF tn
Cuited States"
lie told the Grand Jury tha; if :hey knew o: an
such combination, il was iher,iuty present il In III
Court by indictment, that i; miSht hc dealt with at
coriing tn the common law. Tn: Judge further said
"No person could bo compelled to swear that b
himself was member OF such combinations still h
could be compelled TO rwear who nf others were,
, within his knowledge, notwithstanding he had take
an oath TO keep surh knowledge tccret ss such oat
clearly illegal and void, If the secret was to b
kept among the members OF illegal combination.
