did not forth that only 10 persons were suDmoned

grand Juror should appear II this were so the Court
could have full Grand Jury. Several OF tho
points raised were presented for argument, including
the question that three of the grand jurors were nos

the names were not drawn from the box IN paTsuaneo

WHO, 10 this fair metropolis,
Where lire sweeps on in mighty tides,
Or into pleasant homes subsidies,
or eddies through o hail IKE thls,
Can feel the pulses Of his heart
Throb with the Joy OF beng one
6ul breathing underneath tue suu,
Aud of the waves vital part,
Nor turn with tender thought TO those
Who, weary Of the rough highway,
Or smitten in the deadly fray,
Lay down to sleep, aud never rose!
Surely not we who gather here
From tolls aud pleasures round and range,
To breathe, in social interchange,
The garnered memories OF year!
We praise their deeds. we bless their names,
Who bravely fought and nobly feii
Aud love aud pride remember well
The vanished Army OF the James.
They sleep, but only for night!
The earth was groaniUg when they dled,
Tue trumpet sounding Tar ana vide,
And all the spheres were dlm WIN OnRut.
So when the swift Archangel's call
The quakiue earth-the reeling stars
Shall wake them. healed OF all their scars,
To smoke that hang, It's ghostly pail
Der all things. It will only seem
That they have slept among their steeds,
Aud rise TO Wars familiar deeds
From rest so deep 1t could not dream.
They sleep In peace Inc sImm peHs
That gather perfume from their dust,
The Winters snow, the Autumns rust,
And all loves lavisned immortelles,
Are things as far beyond their heed
As oil our strifes OF haud aud head,

Aud all the travail VI our need.
They sleep in peace! Whatever strife
MAY chafe the laud for which they fought,
Each for himself found what he sought
Peace, at the purchase OF his life
Payment for blood In happy rest;
GuerdOn iurgratitude for pain;
For life's great loss, the priceless gain

No tears for them Thesheart Is cold

COLUMBUS, Miss, April 25, 1874.
To The Editor Qrthe Ne,o Natioaai Era:
Pursuant to the adjournment of the meet.
ing, called by the Rev. J. +. Boulder on the
l4th Of April, to deliver an eulogy on the life
OF the Hon. Charles Sumner, large number
of persons assembled at the court house on
the 25th inst.
Notwithstanding the paralyzed condition
of our people, by reason of the great freshet
in our river, and the overflow of all within
three and four miles of its legitimate bed,
deep interest was manifested in the
occasion.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
Thaddeus N. James who stated the object OF
the meeting. Mr.. r. G.. Harrison, Esq, was
elected clerk of the meeting.
The committee appointed at the previous
meeting to draft resolutions, expressive OF
the feeling of the people on the death of Mr.
Sumner then made their report as follows
Mr.. Chairman - Your committee appoint
ed to daft resolutions expressive of the
feelings Of the people here in reference to the
death of the Hon. Charles Sumner, beg leave
to report that they have attended to that ,lu-
ty to the best of their ability.
WHEREAS, it has pleased the all-wise
and benciiccnt Father of lis all, on the lth
day Of March, 1874, to remove from our
midst that earnest phlanthropist and great
statesman, the Honorable Charles Sumner ;
and, whereas, the suffering and oppressed
people of these United States owe a debt OF
lasting gratitude to his memory for his I'M
swerving fidelity and devotion in pleading
for their rights before the law as citizens,
our language is inadequate to express the
sorrow we feel, and the sympathy we have
therefore. be it
Resolred, That we sympathize with Massa,
chusetts in this loss of one of her best an.
| ablest sons.
Resolced, That we sympathize with the ma.
ton in the loss of one of its brightest stars,
wisest counsellors and greatest statesmen.
Resolred, That we feel most keenly the loss
of MIR. Sumner as the true friend and advo.
cate of our Civil and Political Rights in Con.
gress.
COMMITTEES: Henry Baker, J. N. Bishop

Pending the adoption of the above, the
Rev. j. F. Boulder was requested to addres:
the meeting, and he came forward and de-
picted the private and public life and char
acter of Mr.. Sumner in mos: glorious color:
as phlanthropst, scholar, statesman, :
champion of liberty-cqual rights to all men
and all of which was heartily accepted as the
sentiment of the meeting.
The following resolution was then added
to those before presented, and the Who'll,
unanimously adopted:

Moral Reflections No. II.

"Christ also hath once suffered for sins,
the just for the unjust, that He might bring
us to God."-1st Peter, 3; Is.
All moral government must be founded on
law. Law implies penalty, and there can
be no violation of law under a perfect gov
eminent without the execution of the penalty
upon the offender. The exercise of the par
doning comes out of the imperfection Of the
government, and tends still further to
weaken it.
Can God, rs the Great Moral Governor,
forgive us? Without Divine Revelation,
reason would unhesitatingly say, No.
But may not the Divine Being admit or
furnish a substitute for mans suffering, and
thus show mercy to the offender?
To this we should also answer, To our
finite minds it seems impossible, but we can
not tell. If a substitute is imagined, who
shall he be, and what shall he suffer ?
Neither of these questions could ever have
been answered by men or angels. II
would seem that no mere creature could un-
dertake this work, and God alone could pre-
scribe what that suffering should be.
We infer, then, that the mercy of God is
doctrine of pure revelation; that God can
pardon the sinner, and how, and yet sustain

Obituary on E. n. &. Liverpool, Of
Cincinnati

DEAR SIR: The shining example of pure
purpose and great character exhibited in the
private and public life of the late II. N. &.
Liverpool, of Cincinnati, whose death was
announced through your correspondent,
"DepuSh," deserve formal notice, through
your journal, as IN incentive to those i'm
whose interest it is published. He was
quiet and sober in thought and speech,
man of great courage, direct effort, no hol-
low show he possessed great force and de-
cisiOn of moral character he was temperate
in all his habits, and while just and uncom-
promising in his fidelity to trust, he was
charitable, industrious, and punctual in all
his business relations. In fact, he was a
straight forward person of manly ways, for
he never shirked an issue Of public policy;
though it brought him in the breach, he would
assume the responsibility and stand forth a
man among men, to abide the results, and
to defend his position according to the die
tates of his conscience. lie believed in the
| religion of right, with 4 hope of immortality
deeply anchored within the veil of its pre-
ccpts. Mcssrs. COrbin, Easton, and some
times the gentleman and scholar, Peter II.
Clark, would furnish the ;eavy timber for
the old Colorea Citizen, but Liverpool stood by
! and directed where they would lay, virtually
directing the policy of the paper, and hence
one of the most cilicient editors. He was e
| clear and forcible talkers not learned as a
writer-that is, lis periods were not well
rounded; nor did he always use the profess
sional or scientific words belonging to the
| subject of his articles his sentences were
short, and sometimes abrupt, using often
| popular and domestic terms in the expression
of his thoughts: but he was probably one Of
| the best understood writers for that paper.
| lie was not hasty in advancing an idea
that is, he could stand still and listen at
others in error, though in possession of all
the facts himself. Every day for several
years he sat pear me in the same room,
transposing, marking out, interlinlnC, read
ing to the car and taste Of each other, and
yet with what charity he would suggest the
necessary corrections, accepting the same
for himself, which was the best evidence OF
his strength. lie was young man cOmpar-
atively, and yet he did his part for his race
faithfully and well.

Mr.. Douglass And The ErccLman's
Bank.

II was not without 4 feeling akin to regret
that we notice short time since that MIR.
Frederick Douglass had been made President
of the Freetlman's Bank in Washington and
had accepted the position. We, in common
with thouands of others throughout the
country, are DESTROYS Of seeing the grand and
successful life of the great cOlOred orator and
philanthropst finished and rounded of with
out opprObrium or reproach, by even so much
as suspicion of wrong. Hence, while we
believe that the integrity Of Mr.. Douglass
was proof against the Inducements of any
position in which he could be placed, il ap-
pearcd possible that in this era of of defaca-
tons, cmbeZzlements, and investigations, he
might, through the dishonesty of srbor,linatcs
and the malice of enemies become involved
in scandals that, by association at least,
would tarnsh his fame. This feeling may
have been caused by the difficulties already
encountered by the Frecdman's Bank when
Mr.. Douglass took charge fit.
The bank is again in trouble, and the
newspapers are busily engaged in discussing
its affairs. Our readers understand, OF
course, that this institution is made the de-
postOry of the small earnings of the freed
men, and is one OF the most important of the
system of agencies provided by public spirited
men for lifting the lately enslavod class out
Of the degradation and dependence imposed
by thelr long bondage. Now it is charged
that what is known rs the washington
Ring a real or mythical organization
public hardly understands which, yet-has
been using this Frecdman's Bank to further
its speculative interests, and that they have
plunged the institution into bankruptcy. 1t
cannot be denied that the bank is in trouble,
and that it will require careful management
to eXtrcate it successfully, and render to the
| depositors their dues, but those interested
have the assurance of Mr.. Douglass, the
President, that if they will only be patient,
and it the outside world will let the friends
OF the institution alone, the depOstors will
| be paid, scHh interest. The trouble is, how
ever, that such reckless, sensational sheets
as the New York Sun are constantly publish
| ing reports of the institution which excite the
fears of the supplemented freedmen, and
induce runs on the bank that would imperil
any OF like character.--Roches!er Erpress
