Judge Hoar Backs Down.
WASHINGTON, April I, !

AsHINGToN, April l, 1874.
Joshua B. Smith, Boston
Before Mr.. Summers death he told me that
judge Hoar agreed with him ia favor of the
cirllrights bill. Judge Hoar told me the
same in conversation to-day, and confirms it.
| hope we may baye him in the Senate TO
complete Summers work.
john NJ. S. WILLIAMS.
We trust that Mr.. HoAR will be defeated.
No nan is fit to be senator who fails to stand
by his honest opinions.
In card in the Boston Globe concerning
Unauthorized dcnials, Mr. Redpath saws:
" Whenever Judge Hoar denies it, or when
ever he authorizes any reputable aud conspi-
cuous ciliZen To deny it in his name, shall
not wait a single hour-not one-before |
produce witnesses Of unimpeachab!e veraci-
ty and the very highest character, who will
attest that, as late as O'Clock in the after.
noon of Tuesday, March 3-only few days
before his death-Senator Sumner, in a sad
mood, stated that Judge Hoar believed his
civil rights bill to be unconstitutional, and
that be had not been able to convince him OF
the fallacy OF this position"
Wendell Phiilips's veracity having been
ca led Into question by the Williams dispatch,
tlat gentleman publishes letter giving all
account of his dining with Mr. sunni g. a
week before his death. on which occasion
there was also present George II. Downing,
who had previously talked with him on the
cviI'rishts bill and the chances OF its passage.
Turning to Phillips, Sumner said, "Judge
Hoar has been telling me that be doubts the
constltutionality Of my bill. He thinks it
unconstitutional and an Infringement of
State lights" In regard 10 The legal argu.
ments advanced, Judge Hoar said, ''No. lie
W:is not satisfied"
The man who doesn't know SUMMERS
:iri-rights bill to be unconstitutional is
'ithcr Il fool or fanatic. SUMNER was GER
ainly the latter. Mr.. CARPENTER once al
most demonstrated its unconstitutionality,
nd SUMNER replied ouly that it was consist.

Cremation.

A considerable meeting Of persons known |
TO tume was held in New York on Friday
night to consider the subject of the imme- |
diate consumption of human bodies alter
death, at which it was resolved to form a So
eiety for the purpose of promoting crema-
ton and securing it's practical application"
The wellknown Mr. BERoH was present, and
thus stated his sentiments:
Cremation does not conflict with our re-
lirion, for the language of the burial service
is .Dust to dust, ashes TO ashes lnhuma-
tion satisfies no reasonable instinct OF our
nature; tits only prejudice. like hundreds
of others which still exist, or which have
been cleared away by the bright light of rea-
son. Cremation speedily effects that which
the tardy process OF decomposition accom-
plishes with danger and intiIite cost TO the
living, the final result being in both cases
annihilation. 1t might be asked whether !
would consent to personal application OF
the ancient custom. unhesi;atingly answer
yes"
II. s. ALcoTr thus expressed himself:
II am too firm a believer in the immor-
tally of the soul to view with patience The
Inconsistency Of those who behave over the
dead bodies Of their friends as if the immor-
tai part was being laid away in the ground.
The more might love my dead the less
willing should be to leave the fair form
that had once hcld an immortal spirit to turn
into putrid carbon under ground, and breed
amyriad OF loathsome creatures out OF its
own rottenness. Tnis altempt to substitute
the scientific, poetical and rational system
OF cremation has my earnest sympathy"
The society proposes to establish an insti.
tuition for diSposns of the dead by chemica,
process, preserving the ashes to be inurued
The subject has attracted good des, O,
attention, and possibly cremation NAV be.
come the fashion instead of leaving the dead
to the slow and not very pleasing process o.
natural decomposition.
A strong argument in favor OF cremation
Is that the number who die annually is so
large that The world, or The habitable part OF
1t, will in short time BE- covered with the
graves of the dead, and the living will be
compelled to blot out the grarc-yards that
they may have surface room to produce the
means Of living. This fact is so well cstab.
iished that almost every city, however
young, affords proof of its truth. Even in
ibis city two graye-yards have suffered en- |
croachnents from the necessities Of life. The
old st. Johns burial ground has been seri.

A Work to be Done at Once.

We invite the attention of the public au
shori,ies and Of the people Of this city to tht
condition Of the channel in the river beio"
Rockets. We tell them that the city Is In
great danger on account OF the want OF
nroper dcnth OF water. Two years ago II
wss given forth to all interested IL
the subject that we should By this time
have from fifteen to eighteen feet oil
water over the bars. What Is It now
The New York steamers go out but
partially loaded, and the freigbts are crowd
ing upon the river without finding ready
shipment. Need we add that attention Is
directed to other outlets for what ought to
come here and be shipped easily and
promptly? Shipping agents can make no
regular engagement for freights here because
thew are no, sure of the requisite depth Of
water. We could make other and startling
statements, but these ought to suffice.
It would be needless for liz to say that this
work of deepening the channel of James
river Is vital to this city. Everybody knows
It. All the engineers who have considered
the matter have decided that eighteen feet
OF water to Rockets is altogether practi-
cable, and all practical men will say that
with that depth OF water to the port of
Richmond not one pound of freight will be
carried BY rail to seek place OF shipment
east Of Richmond. That would settle the
question.
And we must have this deep water, and
have It DOW. We are in daily peril. The
means to get that depth should be ut once
concentrated upon the bars. To postpone
the work unnecessarily will be suicidal.
When it is done the channel can be easily
kept open. II will cost Richmond less per
anpum to keep her port open than 1t costs
Baltimore to keep the way to her wharves
clear. The whole matter rests with us.
We can have the deep water at an early day
or We can 60 on with insufficient means and
acquire 1t at leisure some years hence, when
it will do US no good-trade having found
other ways to the sea!
We arc no alarmist, and we tell the people |
Of Richmond most earnestly that they are IN
very great danger. Every one who owns
foot Of ground or follows pursuit in the
eity is interested in this important matter.
It is everything to Richmond to secure ca
pacious and cheap highway to the sea.
The people of this city are Industrious and
snterprisipg. They devote themselves with
snfagging energy and with sasacity and

IF this he dsclaimed, but desired that the

,Fn finances. AS 1t now Is, the bondholder |
controls taxation. He bad but little hope OF
1oiug anything at this session to save the |
people from the merciless grasp Of the bond |
holder; but he warned gentlemen WHO rep
.esented that class upon this floor that it was |
,nly question oftlme when the pee pie would !
demand to settle the debt upon principles Of
quity, otherwise the brokers and funders
Vill drive them to open reputation. The |
,eople had but few friends among the news
PAPER men. The whole press of Richmond |
ecited "cheap homilies" about the honor |
nd credit of the State, but they made no
uggestions save to increase taxation and |
lunt "new subjects" He warned our re-
men to stand firmly together |
