IN EMoRIA M,
A Superb Monument to General Delavan, the
Revolutionary Hero Of WcsIchester.
ITS DEDICATION YESTERDAY

Yesterday will long be remembered by the resi-
dents OF the hills and valleys that line the eastern
bank Of the Hudson near Tarrytown az the consum-
nation of an event that Is destined to commemorate
the virtues OF the dead so long the hills absorb
the nectar from the lips Of the clouds and the grand
old river flows musically seward past their base,
receiving fresh accessions continually from the bub
bling rils that SKIP out in unchecked gladness from
the cliffs and rugged border.
The day witnessed the dedication or perhaps the
most costly II not the most beautifully designed.
monument in the United States that has Just been
erected in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery by Mr. Charles
Fl. Delavan In memery OF his father General Daniel
Delavan, who, With nine brothers, under Washing.
ton, "carrled their lives upon their sleevesn in de-
fence OF the cause OF the patriots While 1t is more
intended to perpetuate the memory OF patriot and
devoted parent I. Is also monument TO oil the de.
ceased and living descendants OF the General.
At ten O'Clock the trim little steamer Thomas
Colyer which had been specially chartered for the
conveyance Of invited guests arrived at the Thirty
fourth street pier, when large number OF guests
and friends OF the family embarked. Among the
gentlemen present on the boat ana subsequently at
the dedication, were Colonel Fred. A. Conking, J.

The following lines, by the late General George
p. Morris, upon the death OF his friend General
Daniel Delavan, after his DEATH beautifully ap.
proprialc and touching:-
Let not n tear be shed,
Of grief give not token,
Although the silver thread
And golden bowl be broken.
A warrior lved-a Christian died;
Sorrows forgotten in pride.
Co. bring his battle blade
His helmet and his plume,
And be hts trophies laid
Beside him in the tomb,
Where files OF tiyne-markcd veterans come
With martial tramp and muied drum.
Give to the earth his frame
To mouider and decay;
But not his deathess name
That canot pass
In youth in manhood and in ago
He dignled his country's page
Green be the willow bough
Above the swelling mound
Where sleeps the hero
In consecrated ground;
Thy epitaph, oh Delavan,
Goods noblest work honest man ~

THE CONDEMNED CELL.

| Nobody who has read the decisive and
cogent letter of Governor Dunn entertains
the least idea or expectation that the con-
demned men, Bayonna and Abriel, will
| otherwise than undergo the condign SEN
| tence of the law to-day. Of course, they
hope against hope, and the instinct of
self preservation, to which hope is so near
akin, will sustain them to the very last
moment.
A large portion of yesterday was spent
in the devotional offices of religion that
the Catholic Church provides for those
who are about to depart this life. In these
exercises the doomed men participated
with fervor that evipced their sense of
dire extremity.
| They had requested of the superin-
tendent, Captain Johnson, that they
| might have no interviews with visitors,
| and so, after the religious services ter
minated, they remained shut up in their
cell. But at the first intimation that
there were visitors on the gallery, they
anxiously desired to see them. They
were only too glad to see human
faces, and to hold communion with human
kind during the little space of time that
is left, before eternity casts its dark veil
over them. Justly condemned as they
are, and though the stern demands of
justice may not be gainsaid, it is thrilling
to see with what eagerness they take the
hand of visitor, and how they cling to
it with a sense of enjoyment as it were,
because the time is so near when they will
clasp hands no more.
1t is awful to look at them, in the sturdy
fullness of manhood, strong of limb and
robust in health, and to know that in less
than another day they must be as the clod
of the valley, "alike unknowing and I'M
known"
1t is natural, and it is right, to feel pity
for men whom, for their crime, the law
has consigned to the dreadful punishment
Of death; yet none can gainsay the justice
of their sentence or the extreme necessity
that exists for the unfinching admins
tration of criminal law. Even as these
men await their doom, the same prison
holds others who have since perpetrated
the crime OF murder under circum-
stances of peculiar and unmitigated
atrocity. Two human beings, in the OPP
posite extremes of life, have been vio-
lently deprived Of existence, under cir
cumstances that equalIn horror anything

pirates, the cold-blooded cruelties of Black

Ku-KLuX STORIES.

The Democratic press, with few honor
able exceptions, are laboring to prove ku-
Klux stories exaggerated. 1t would be
difficult to enlarge beyond truth the sto-
ries of the many outrages that have been
perpetrated for political purposes, in the
South, since the close of the war. In
almost all of the States that were in Or
ganized rebellion against the government
of the United States what is known as ku-
kluxism has asserted itself, at one time
or another, for political purposes, with
diabolism that could not be exaggerated
by any who should attempt its descrip-
ton.
The Bee of this city yesterday took up
the subject. by quoting General Sherman
as having said, in a speech delivered be-
fore the Union League Club of this city:
Iprobably have as good means of informa-
ton as most persons i'll regard to what is
called the Ku-Klux, and am perfectly sat
isfied that the thing is overestimated, and
that if the Ku-Klux bills were kept out of
Congress, and the army kept at its legiti-
mate duties, there are enough good and true
men in all Southern States to put down Ku-
Klux and other bands of marauders.
1t is very doubtful whether General
Sherman is the ready witness that is to
wipe out the existence of what is called
the Ku-Klux, or that he is satisfied that
it has been over estimated. 1t is quite
certain that General Sherman could not,
of his own personal knowledge, testify as
to the existence of the Ku-Klux and their
crimes. The men who engage in the in
famous work of the Ku-Klux would not
be apt to face him knowingly. The Bee
would be much better witness than the
General, if it could speak ont upon the
subject of ku-kluxism in Louisiana 1t
is true we have but little of it now. But
there was a time, and that time is but a

About as offensive an act of moral bes-
TALLY as ever occurred was the offer of
the prize fighter Coburn to enter the ring
and contend for blood-money with Mace
even while the body of his dead wife was
yet unburied. Mace wrote to Coburn
that ne was willing to adjourn the fight to
future day, out of respect to the fact
that the wife OF the latter had just died,
but Coburn replied that his bereavement
was no good reason for deferring
contest which had already been arranged,
and that if it was done without his con-
sent he would claim the forfeit. This is
about the most indecent suggestion which
ever emanated from an indecent and
brutal business.

The Bulletin very unjustly and insult
ingly remarks that the German element
in our population always leans to the
party favoring the largest liberty in tip
ping. Is this SO? There are two pro-
cesses by which an answer can be had to
this question, and according to both the
assertion that the Germans lean to the
anti-temperance party is untrue.
First-The Republican party has always
been a temperance party in the North
and West, and the Germans have always
been Republicans. This refutes the sug-
gestion on general principles.
Second-The Germans have never been
considered as greatly addicted to alcoholic
drinking.
They are given to the consumption of
lager beer, but since that is not prescribed
as a poison, and since it is only Incl
dentally denounced in the temperance
party, it is not to accuse men as
Incorporate to say that they drink
beer. The Germans have not pro-
tested against prohibitory liquor laws
more than other people, nor have they
leaned to the largest liberty in liquor
drinking. What they have done was
simply to deny that lager beer
was such a beverage as should
be totally prohibited from use as
whisky is. They contend that it is q
social drink, and that it should be ex-
cepted from the clauses of the prohibiting
liquor law, just as the ballet is excepted
when society rejects the can-can. Thou
sands of Germans advocate the temper
ance cause, but they insist that lager is
not liable to their denunciation. They
are opposed to alcohol, but they do not
reject all stimulants. And in doing this
they contend that they are serving the
cause of temperance by preventing it
from becoming too restrictive in its en-
croachments on the liberty of individual
action.
Understood as we have explained it,
the Gerpan position is rational and re-
publican. Understood as the Bulletin 'ex-
plains it, it is the friend of drunkenness
and decentralization.

spirit FROM on high.
When we think of these things which
are of to-day, and when we reflect of what
in the way of violent crime the last few
years have brought forth, we must con-
cede that the acting Governor of the State
has acted righteously and wisely in refus-
ing to interfere with the course of the
law in the case of the two homicides who
die to-day.
In fact, we see strong indications Of a
reaction in public opinion respecting the
necessity of the death penalty; and we do
not doubt that sense of justice and the
necessity of rigid administration Of law
