Mr.. MEADE's DESIGN.
The design of Lalkiu G. Meade, of Florence,

some Others presented. is in exquisite taste. The
die is seventy feet hIgh, and the total height is
one hundred feet. 1ue foundation and sub-base
are of granite, and the artist proposes the archj-
tcctural work TO be OF Ravercconi marble, and
the statues OF bronze. The obelisk is surmounted
by the ea gle and globe. At the base pedestal
is projected in front, on which is a colossal
statue OF Lincoln. On plane below, at the four
cardinal points, are four pele5tals, on which are
groups representing the infantry, cavalry, artil-
lery, and marine corps of the service. Encircling
these pe1estals are tablets, on which are written
the names of 9ll the States. These tablets are
linked together, aGd the whole work indicates
that. through the wise Counsels of the President
and the endurance of the ooldiers and sailors
the Union has been preserved and perpetuated
On the four sides of the base are tablets for
insc. iplons. That n cont ald under the statue
bears the name in full-Ab-aham Lincoln. The
sub.bOse is reached by Stars from the corners of
the base, and under the base Is the crypt for the
remains. The door OF the crypt is also the en-
trance to the passage and stair way, which
ascends the monument inside.

Are There Monsters in Utah Lake! !

The editor of the De3eret EUeni1g Nelos, who
accompanies Brigham Young on his trip to
Northern Utah, writes OF the mons tersr
reported to have been discovered in Bear Lake
in that territory:-
I'VE have had conversation with Bro,her
Charles G.. Rich and other brethren from Bear
Lake Valley, respecting the monsters winch
have been seen in the lake. They all firmly
sder the testimony that has been given by 50
many individuals, who have seen these crea-
lures in so many places, and under variety of
circumstances, iudisputable. The Indians
traditions corroborate all that has been said of
thee creatures. 1t is well kno Gn that the
Indians will not camp near the Lake, and they
have never been known 10 ba he in its waters.
They have persisted iD stating that there were ter
rible monsters in the lake, OF which they were in
fear, two of their tribe having within the me-
mory of some of their number been carried off
by them. IT one or two persons only had seen
and described them, 1t might be set down. even
if they were persons of good judgment and cre-
dibIity, as an optical deuslon; but they have
been lately seen by numbers and at different
times and places, and their descriptions agree,
and they also agree with the accounts of The
Indians. Various plans have been suggested
for the capture OF one or more OF them; but no
attempt has as yet been made.
"One of those who are said to have seen them
last. timed their speed, while passing from one
wel-known point 10 another on the other side
of the lake. with his watch, AMI IL the descrIp-
tion can be relied upon, boat woIld stand no

The Question Of Diet.

An Italian, who is at once a member of the
Parliament of Italy, and a Professor OF Medi-
cine, has proclaimed that his countrymen are
under.ted. Not only docs Professor MGutegezza
hold that Italians suffer in body by living too
poorly, but he also contends that their mental
energies are thereby lessenCd. The weakness of
the individual, he says, is coTrelative with the
weakness OF the nation. If each worker does
less than he ought, the productive power of the
nation is diminished. Hence q long train of
evils. Taxes cannot be levied on luXurIes when
the sheer necessaries of lie are alone resorted
to. Those who think they have done enough
when they barely keep body and soul together
are unworthy members OF society There is no
force in reserve for the hour of need. They have
neither money to contribute for the common
veal, nor the aid Of strong ri hit arms TO DrIng
to the great duty OF national defense. 1t may
seem an eEaggeration to say that, because the
Italians live upon maCaroni and watermelous,
the Italian Chancellor Of the EXchequer is puZ-
zled how to arrange his budget so as 10 avoid a
deficit. Nevertheless this Is a statement based
on facts which it were pTesumptuous either to
repudiate or ignore.
it is customary (says the London Daiy Naacs)
to assert that in Italy there can be no occasion
for eating so much solid food and drinking as
much stimulating liquor as in England. There
Is no doubt that IN the former country life may
be sustained on diet which would be equiva-
lent to starvation in the latter: but it is impos-
siDle to deny that whoever is as well nourlshed
in Italy as In England can undergo Tar more
bodily fatigue, can sustain greater mental eXer.
tion, than native who saves his money aud
stlntS his appetite. 1T Is almost trulsm that an
English NAVY can do three times as much as
any foreign laborer. The reason for this is,
that he 10 better nourished. If he work at high
pressure, he does not neglect laying in a suf-
hcient stock OF fuel and liquid. Foreigners
would soon rival him were they to copy his
example. We are glad that Professor Mante-
gazza has not only grasped these truths, but
has also had the courage TO iuculcate them. We
shall be glad to learn that his countrymen have
been influenced by what is sage in his counsel.
He rightly styles it the advice of a medical man
and patriot. There are others who would do
well TO ponder the subject for 1t is one which
concerns the well being OF every nation, that
for doing the maximum of work, both physical
and mental by possessing a frame consolidated
aud perfected by substantial nouri2hment. An
insufficient dietary is the true cause of the
decline and fall of any people. Eat then,
patriots, eat; cat for Jour country: or if you
Ike it better. eat for the throne, the church and
the constitution.

The GOYernOr'S Law.


The Governor saw that the bravest men
Had vanished the foe to meet,
That only his friends and the timld remained,
And the army had suffered defeat;
''Take heart it is not too late" said he,
''To stir up the vilcst AMI coarsest;"
So he talked of the Law OF Necessity,
And the 1abble applauded their hoarsest.
The Governor saw from the City Hall
The rabble sweep by in their ire;
The lamp-posts with women were hung in their
wake,
The orphans were burnt in the fire;
"Take heart dear friends OF my soul !" said he
'You have well sustained my assertion,
And the Union in its necessity,
Shall rock with our Northern dicersionw
The Governor saw from his hearth in fear,
The nation grown purer and greater,
Des plte the riot he raised in the rear,
Or the comfort be gave the trli.or;
''Take heart oh Evin.Manln ~ said he,
"The cost the State is upon her,
Pay 1t MOI, by the Law of Necessity,
For cheaper is shame and dishonorl
All cold, mean places he found in man
And touched them to discomfort,
The envy, the hate, the burdens Of State,
The tariff on rum aud rent;
"Take heart oh tyrant abroad !" said be,
"The Young States power who ha.eot,
Our last appeal is Necessity,
And this may debauch the greatest"

Reconstruction and the Supreme
Court.

There are at present three cases pending in
the Supreme Court which involve, either direct
ly or indirectly, the power of Congress exer-
cised through the reconstruction laws over the
States lately in rebellion.
The one which has the most direct bearing
upon these laws was brought up by motion
fled By Judge Black short time since pray
ing for the release of man upon hdJedS cor
puS, who was arrested by the military author
tiles, acting under the late acts Of Congress
concerning the Southern States.
The second case involves the constitutional
ty of the law by which Congress authorized
the sale Of captured property, aud directed the
proceeds to be paid into the treasury, at the
same time providing that the claimants might.
at the end of two years, bring suit for recovery
through the Court of Claims
What is known as the Virginia case affects
the mode in which Congress can proceed in
ratifying contracts between Safes. 1t comes
into the court on motion Of parties representing
Virginia, and claiming that the cessi0n of the
counties of Berkeley and Jefferson to Yves. Vir-
gnia is not valid, although ratified by Con-
gress. The State of West Virginia provided
for receiving these counties upon the consent
Of Virginia being given. This consent was Oh
tanned, and Congress was asked 10 ratity the
contract. Before the action Of this body was
consummated Virginia withdrew her consent,
but Congress paid no attention to this action,
and proceeded to ratiiy the agreement. Virginia
claims that such action was unconstitutional
and comes into the Supreme Court to test it.

The Stanton Affair.

After five hours earnest debate in executive
session, the Senate, says the National Lateli-
gencer of Tuesday. at seven o'clock last even
ing, adopted the resolution reported by Mr..
Howard, from the Committee on Military AZ
fairs, which was
"Resolred, That having considered the evil
dence and the reasons given by the Prcside:'t
in his message of the Goth Of December, 1867,
for the suspension from Office of the Secretary
of War, Edwin NJ Stanton, the Senate do not
concur in such suspension"
This resolution was adopted by vote OF
hrty-tce ayes to sif noes.
The Senate also directed that certified copies
Of the resolution should be Immediately trans
mitted to the President, the Acting Secretary
of War, and Mr. Stanton.
Accordingly Mr.. Stanton appeared at the
War Department, on Tuesday, and Gen. Grant
vacated the office. The matter was no doubt
considered by the Cabinet on that day.

Mr.. Stanton's Case.

As the committee 10 whom the case Of Stan
ton was referred. have recommended that the
Senate 10 not concur in the act Of the Presi-
dent which suspended him. we presume that
the Senate will attempt to rcinstqte the ex-,var
Secretary. What then? The New York Her
all answers the question thus, according to
information which it has received. the tenor
Of which is mast probably correct. Saws the
Herald:
" Assuming that the resolution will he Dass-
ed, viii Mr. Stanton be reinstaiei? No ac-
cDriiug o. our Information: for Mr.. johnson
will refuse 20 recognize Mr.. Stanton on apply-
ing tor restoration. and viii probably submit
bis constitutional reasons % the Senate for this
course. What, them Mr. Stanton must then
retire from the field or carry up his case TO the
Supreme Court for a decision on the constitu
tionaity Of the Tenure Of Office lava decis-
ION which Mr. johnson, il is said. desires 70 oh
tam Mr.. Stanton, however. may relieve the
Senate from the danger Of a Judgment against
the law by declining TO press his claim. In
either event, We suspect the conclusion will be
another victory for Andrew johnson"

A Question.

When Did the Southern Statesl lose their iden-
tity? Was it before or after the adoption of the
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States abolishing slavery? The same Cover
nor exists in Virginia, or did a few days ago,
who was elected under the State Constitution
formed by the Radical Convention at Alexan-
dria, and every Legislature elected since was
chosen under that charter Il is time that the
exact date Of the destruction Of the State gov

State when representation in Congress is

Harper,s Ferry Armory.


On Monday last, in the Senate, Mr. Wilson
reported from the Committee on Military Al
fairs, reported without amendment the bill au-
thorizing the sale of the lands, tenements, &C.,
of the United States at Harper's Ferry. This
is matter Of deep interest to the people OF
Jefferson and other counties of the lower Valley,
but we doubt whether speedy or advanta-
geous sale can be made until the question of
title can be more satisfactorily settled than by
the dictum of the Attorney General, learned
though admitted to be. Other lawyers of emf
mence are of an opposite opinion.
The bill provides: First, to defraying the
expenses of sale; Second, to refunding to the
United States theoriginal purchase money, and
the surplus to the State of West Virginia, for
the use of the school fund: With an amend
ment providing that the Secretaryof War shall
have power to convey by deed all portions of
said property which have heretofore been set
apart for religious, charitable, educational and
town purposes.
