In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Schurz made
his second speech upon the resolution Of inquiry
into the sale of arms to France After he con-
cluded colloquy took place between Mr.
Schurz and Mr. Conklin, in which each ex-
pressed his contempt for the other. Mr.. Nor
ton replied to Mr.. Schurz, maintaining that
there was no objection to the investigation,
but only to the language of Mr. Sumner pre-
amble. He commented on Mr.. Schurz's mo-
tives for his course in the Senate, and said that
the report was that his opposition to Grant
arose from the removal of his friends from Of
fee, which report Mr.. Schurz stigmatized as a
lie. Mr.. Schurz speech is said on all hands
to have been a most able and eloquent one.
The Senate chamber, the galleries and all tie
rooms adjacent were crowded with visitors,

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 81.

To-MoRRoW, as the anniversary OF the birth
DAY of George Washington, we wish could be
appropriately observed throughout this coun-
try. Feelings somewhat akin, yet inspired by
purer and more elevated motives than those OF
mere hero.worship, have prompted nations in
all times to regard with almost holy veneration
the lives of those citizens whose eminent SER
vices have proved blessing to their country.
But the standard of excellency which demands
such consideration at the hands of the people is
only to be attained by the possession of those
noble qualities and the exercise Of those virtues
which incline mems thoughts and actions at all
times to the welfare Of their fellow citizens. No
siuisteror contracted views which serve personal
ends can attach 70 those characters which are
called great But laudable ambition, an un-
selfish course, and comprehensive and liberal
views can alone secure that reputation and last
ing fame, with which the good and great are
rewarded 1t is not the men but the virtues
which their lives exempli6ed, that We honor
and cherish. 1t is, therefore, beautiful Gus
tom which leads us at each recurring anniver-
sary of their birth days, to recognize in some
BETTING manner the lasting benefits Of their
abors-no less useful. in that, by reviving the
memories Of their lives, they furnish us models
for our own course of conduct.
Whilst our whole country tomorrow should
Justly claim the right to honor those services
which were confined to no section, it should be
the peculiar privilege and duty Of, AL. ,n,,,on.
n whom have de-. nNING "-.'eAauo'ians,
" ".:o sscended so many incidents and
,'eope his connected with the life of George
- Washington, and near whose city his remains
now rest, to especially exhibit some memorial
token of their grateful appreciation Of this great
and good man; that in contemplating the glory
with which his Iame has encircled his country,
they may also see in his life many incentives to
pobler resolves, higher aspirations and purer
life. Like him, in goodness they may per-
ceive the presence and power Of greatness,
and in the end, like him, enjoy its rewards.

THE OYSTER LAVA letter in the Norfolk
