\ STATUE Of Secretary Seward, by
Randolph Rogers. has been placed in
Madison square, New York. Mr.. Seward
IS represented in a sitting position. lie
has been Just writing, and the hand hold
Ing the pen has fallen to his side, while he
looks forward with an expression suggestive
Of deep thought The base Of the pedestal
is Of New England granite, and the
upper portion of yarieglted Spezzia marble.
The inscription Is simple. In the upper
tablet fronting the plaza formed by the june
ton Of Broadway, Fifth avenue, and Twen-
ty-thrd street, Is the name " William II.
Seward :" and on the larger tablet beneath,
is inscribed. " Governor, [ 5. Senator, Sec
rotary Of State Of l. 5" 1t Is pronounced
a rery satisfactory work Of art. The statue,
which cost S2j 900, given by 80 private
donors, was unveiled and presented TO the
city on Wednesday. The address was by
Hon. Wm. NJ. Eyarts. Mr.. Eyarts eulogzed
as Mr.. Stewards signal traits. his " serenity
of Judgment" his great forecast and his
patience, quoting AHe ltludl r VI aSNaA lAdt
it is " great thing to know how long 1t
takes to succeed" Mr.. Eyarts called to
mind the obloquy and Misrepresentation
which Seward often suffered, aud admins
tered a rebuke to the mud-llinging OF the
time lie paid great tribute to Stewards
share Of the " greatest achievement Of states
manship within oar age, the administra-
ton Of the civil war concurrently with the
maintenance Of peace with the rest of the
world to do it without di-honor, without
concession, but yet do 1t, and thus be able
to secure and confirm, after the trial was
over, that absolute respect, that absolute de-
ference, i don't urge a term too far when
say that absolute Difference that Is paid to
Us by the nations Of the earth. Finally,
Mr. Stewards highest principle was an un-
finishing faith IN popular institutions, in
that " consent Of the citizens which makes
the safety. security and permanenee Of the
State" When the orator sketched the
growth and progress Of the Republican
party, and glanced at the dead statesman's
connection with it in all the great transac-
items in which it had led the way, his utter
ances received warm response from the
audience and other passages Of this fine
tribute to Secretary Stewards memory were
heartily applauded.
