CoNGRE ssMAN DAWES, Of Msssachu-
sets, evidently does not believe in forget
ing the past. In his address at Greenfield
on Decoration Day he said: "As nations
are more often shaken down by internal
commotion than by external violence, SC
the perils of an internecine war are
ALWAYS greater than any other that can
hang on the Issues Of bSttlo. Then, logic
ally, follows the highest duty OF putting
before all other symbols ofnational prov:
ess those which tell of the deliVerance oI
the nation from the perils OF rebellion
more appalling in every proportion and
every trait and consequence than
ever before impended over the
head Of people or government On
Decoration Day we are paying q debt
TO the dead. For this reason 1t ID that the
decoration OF the graves Of rebel soldiers
would shock the patriotic mind OF this
country. They were indeed brave-they
dared, they suffered, and died like heroes
hut IL was In 0 cause which did not
command the approval Of mankind. They
fought against, while these fought tor, free
institutions and universal liberty and uni
vergal manhood. To decorate their graves
with those Of Union soldiers would, there
fore, be TO blot out the distinction In the
causes for which each laid down his life
between loyalty and diSloyalty, patriotism
and treason, between the arm uplitted to
ave and that raised to destroy. It would
Blot out, too, all distinctions In the actions
of men, and confound right with wrong
upturnIng tho very base Of society itself"

Tho PeuIIentiary Case In the Su"
preme Court.

pTeme Court
An application was made TO the su'
prelne Court yesterday by the counsel oI
Mr.. BRDaEs, Of Mercer county, who
claims to be Superintendent OF the Peni-
.entIary by virtue Of appointment at tht
hands Of persons claiming to bethe "Boart
Of Public Works." for writ of ma"
damw ntii, addressed to Mr.. 6HALLoRosS
the Superintendent in possession Th'
writ was granted and made returnable OF
the 18Th instant. This writ, as we under
stand, requires Mr. sHALLoRoss to give
HI, BRIDGES possession, or 10 show reason
for not doing 30. Mr.. sHALLcRoss will
not, Of course, surrender possession, bul
will undertake to show his right and au'
thority to hold the place. This will bring
the case before the Court, who, upon
bearing It, will either dismiss the first writ
or issue peremptorY n'GHdaMU' compel
ling Mr. suALLcRoss 10 surrender to Mr.
BRIDGES. Disting nguished and able counsel
arc employed on both sides, viz: Hon.
GEO. II. LEE and CALEB BoaoEss, oi
Clarksburg, for BRIDGES, and Gen. JAS,
8. WHEAT and DANIEL LAMB, Of this city
for sHALIcRoSs-or, in fact, for the so
called "Bosid Of Public Works" on the
one hand and for the Governor on the
other. H
We understand that As this case has
been brought, the decision, whatever 1t
may be, will apply to it alone. 1t will
not be 3 decision Of the main question,
which Is as to the validity Of the body
calling itself the Board Of Public Works.
and It's power to make appointments. The
sgreement by counsel, entered into at the
time the Bridges party attempted to get
possession Of the peniIentlary, contemplAt-
ed that case should be made for de-
cision of the main question. II was
agreed that Mr.. BRIDGES should apply
for ndndamuS niSi and that application
should also be made on behalf OF the
other aide for a writ Of quo 'cdTTdnto' ad-
dressed 10 the so.called BOARD OF Public
Works" This latter writ would have
Obliged the Board to show Its authority to
make appointments and would thus have
brought directly before the court the ker-
mel Of the question that underlies both the
Peuitentiary and Asylum controversies
But to obtain the latter writ the co'opera.
ton OF the Attorney General was neces-
sary; and when here some time since he
showed so much reluctance to cooperate
10 the matter that the agreement then
made was abandoned; and now 1t would
seem that we are to have d decision which
will really decide nothing beyond the pos
session OF the PenitentiAry, leaving the
main question Of the appointing power, aS
defined In the constitution, untouched.
