SUNG AT THE DEDICATION OF THE CEDAK COZ N
Rear up the marble column,
Blazon the peerless deed;
Wreathe them the crown immortal,
IT'S but the heros need.
Far from their home and kindred
Laid in a soldiers grave,
But in the land of freemen
None will forget the brave.
Sculpture their names = in inn marble anna
All who for Freedom perished
Joined the immortal thronS!
S,lo-Our brothers fell in Freedoms fight
In death a victory reaping;
We deck their tombs with gariands bright
Their deeds in memory Keeping.
SCULPTURE their names in marble,
Weave them in deathleSs song
All who for Freedom perished,
Joined the immortal tnronS!
Prompt in the hour of danger,
They to the field OF strife,
Followed our starry banner,
Died for their countrys llte;
Not fer an empty honor,
Not for the bauble fan.S;
They for the UNION perlsheo'
Deed OF a ncber name
Tel 2'er their names L,sat n ala fSSled:
Tell how Wv,tt thaaGs,es haGes coming,
fTonor the noble dead.
eolo-Each name ON yonder shaft engraved
Still dear in memory cherished:
We weep-our glorious land was saved
To save they nobly persisted!
Tell DER their names in story,
Tell how they fought and pied,
Shout to the ages coming,
Honor the noble dead!
Build up the towering column,
Garnish the hero's shrine;
| We for the mighty fallen,
Iaurels of glory twine!
Here in the ages coming,
| OFT will the pilgrim stand,
Reading the roll OF honor
| Reared by a grateful iand.
Though on the field of battle,
! Scattered their ashes lie,
! They are to us immortal,
Names that can never ule!

Mar not the gift by grieVing; gu

Though on the field of battle,
Scattered their ashes lie,

CONNECTICUT.-Th election in this
State las resulted in the election OF
English, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernOr, by about 700 majority, and of
a Republican Legislature. The Re
publican majority in the House is 80
and in the Senate l. This secures the
election of Republican L. S. Senator
to succeed Foster. For Congress l Re
publican and three Democrats are cleo
ted. the former by about 1000 majority
and the latter by very small majoritieS.
The above is the IoQuirer's account
of the result in Connecticut. 1t is as
near an approach to the truth as that
paper was ever known to make, but is
far enough from it to be set down as
considerable of a "yarn." We must
correct the Inquirer. The Republican
majority in the House is not 80, but on
ly 1, which does not "secure the elec-
ton of Republican L. S. Senator to
succeed Foster" Senator Fosters
successor, Gen. Ferry, was elected al
most year ago. AS to the majorities
for the Democratic congressman,
Hotchkiss, of the New Haven district,
is elected by $500 majority, and Hub
bard and Barnum each have 500 major
ity, whilst Starkweather, the only Rad
ical elected, has but LOO majority, 500
less than that of Hotchkiss. We hope
the Inquirer will soon have sufficiently
recovered from the shock it received on
hearing the news from Connecticut, to
be able to tell the truth concerning the
defeat of its party in that glorious
State

Hitch ON the Appropriation Bill.

On theevening of the 10th inst, in the
House, the Appropriation bill having
been reported from the committee of
conference, Mr.. Boyle, Democrat, put
the following questions to the Chair
man:
Whether there was not Qtanappropria-
tiOn of SIS 900 for the Governors man
sion; $4,000 for Washington agency;
$4,000 for Adjutant General, for which
it had been demonstrated there was an
utter want of necessity $500 for chap
lain, a member of the House, and
number of Appropriations of like char
acter? And then whether the bill did
not repeal the law of 1866, granting a
pension to old soldiers of 1872?
The Chairman answered all the ques
tions in the affirmative. The report
was then opposed by Iessrs. Boyle,
Headman, and Quigley, and supported
by Messrs. Mann, Waddell and Davis,
when the report was rejected, by a
vote of ayes Al, nays 40.
The vote WaSafterWardsr srecOnSidered,
and the bill recOmmitted to the Confer
ence Committee.
Information was then transmitted to
the Senate, when Speaker Hall ruled
that the Senate, having agreed to the
report, it could not be recOmmitted.
The conference committee ofthe House,
finding the Senate committee diScharg-
ed, were unable to act, and thereupon
asked to be discharged. The COM
mittee was accordingly discharged, by
vote of ayes sc, nays 81. Thus the
bill, as originally agreed upon by the
joint committee of conference, was
agreed to.
The bill as adopted makes the appro-
priatiOns mentioned, above, by Mr..
Boy e; fixed the salaries of members at
81, 900: increases the salaries of the vari-
Gus officials, and repeats the laa0 Of 1872!
The extravagant and useless appropri-
ations mentioned by Mr.. Boyle foot up
$40, 300 theincrease to members aggre-
gates $4,000 more-S72, ,300-and scores
of other useless and eXtravagant dOna-

HON. GEORGE SHARSwOOD

The coming Democratic State Con-
vention will be called upon to nomi-
nate candidate for the important of
fee of Judge of the Supreme Court.
The term of one of the ablest men on
that bench, is about to expire, and it
becomes the people of the State to look
among their greatest jurists if they
would find man worthy of the man.
tie of Chief Justice Woodward. There
is, in our opinion, one man whose en-
inence as Judge and whose character
asa citizen, will command the respect
of voters of all parties. We refer to
the Hon. George Sharswood, of Phila-
delphia. There is not lawyer in the
State who does not know Judge Shars-
wood by his reputation as 9 jurist, or
through his works as an author. And
this knowledge is, universally, of ia
vorable character. We do not hesitate
to say that the nomination of this dis
tinguished iurist would be responded
to in terms of unqualified appreciation,
by the bar of the State, without dis
tinction of politics.
We have no personal ends to sub
serve in suggesting this nomination.
We have an eye single to the fitness of
the man, and hence, to the interests of
the people, which ought to be and
which are the interests of the DemOc-
racy. Our friends in other parts of the
State, have their local preferences and
many of the names mentioned in con-
nection with the nomination for this
Office, are good ones. But there are few
of them so universally known and re-
spected "a that which stands at the
head of this article. Hence, the ques-
ton arises, shall we take a candidate
who is comparatively unknown, and
who could add but little to the party
vote, except in his own locality, or
shall we nominate man who will
command votes, outside of the party,
from one end of the State to the other,
and thus give victory to our organiza-
ton, whilst at the same time we reflect
credit upon ourselves, and upon the
State, by the election of Judge who
will adorn the bench with eminent
learning and ability? Let this subject
be fully and fairly canvas5ed, and let
the good of the people and the welfare
of the party, be duly considered by the
Convention, before it makes its nomi-
nation for Supreme Judge; for upon
that nomination may depend nothing
less than the Liberties Of the people Of
Pennsylvania.
