was always touched by the sentiments in
honor of great and noble man. He
had seen the sea in its fury of storm. It
was q grand sight; but he remembered
that, after all, 1t is the calm level of the
sea from which all heights and depths

calm and quiet consideration in the hour
of determining their duties. He nomi-
mated John Sherman.
Note by the Reporter.] The applause
and noise which followed Sherman's
nomination came from those who made
up in their persistent effort what they
lacked in numbers. The Chair did not
seem to feel called upon to make any
effort check it, and 80 much additional
