We find the extreme length OF said

Sixty one feet, and the extreme
depth Of the water outside Of chan
uel was twelve feet at ordinary tide
and the depth in the channel reach
ed eighteen feet thus requiring for
bridge stationary average piling
twenty FIVE feet long, and for turn

it will take for stationary bridge
thirty piIing of above length loSl0

twenty piJing I2xl2 Of an average
length CT thirty feet, We find that
It will require an amount ranging
from thirty five TO forty thousand
feet Of lumber, including the piling.

latter figure, but make that estimate
to be within bounds.

other. our politcal difference, although as ''wide
as the poles" never stood in the way of personal
acts of kindness nor interrupted the friendly re-
lations which had been established between us
in the beginning of our acquaint-
ance. With these recollections extending back
more than thirty years, and embracing the
most eventful period in our history since the in
dependence of our country was established. in
the tragic events of which there was more
conspicuous figure, it is easy for me to unite with
all who believe the name of Oliver P. Morton de-
serves a lasting place IN the memory of the peo-
pie of his native State in unwilling to the public,
with due solemnity, the statue designed to per,
petuate it. ''rhe counterfeit presentment,"
formed of the most durable material which the
earth can furnish, which the people this day set
up and place in the center of our capital city
the city in which the most eventful period of his
life was passed, and from which his spirit took
its departure from earth, may for ages to
come speak to the passer-by the name of Oliver
P Morton. Yet the time will come when its voice
will be silent and when its pedestal will erumble
and fall. But the name and fame of him, the
memory of whom it is designed to perpetuate,
will still live in the indelble pages of his coun
try's history.

How great he was in that heroic time!
How doubly great when round about him rose
The treacherous bands whose garments dripped with
crimel
How shall this hour speak gentle words of those
Who in that hour with the Nations foes2
Lo all night long. while other men were sleeping
Morton kept vigil, knowing not repose,
Piercing the dark. the far horizon sweeping,
Where homes were desolate and women sat a-weeping

He rose sublime. and trembled as he rose
Patient and black; but Morton too, there,
The Negroes champion, frowning his foes
His face grew dark as night; he said 'Bewarel
This is a Man-now touch him if you dsre!n
And they who would reslave the human burst
No more bind on the manacles or bear
The flaming ire of him who braved their worst
And smiled defiance when the sayers CRASHED and

For there was seen the shadow of a form
That AL men l1neA'-vyas heard d loving sound
That all men recognized and then the warm
Strong arms of Morton entwined around
The dying soldier. and his bleeding wound
Vas stanchetl and in his breaking brain
The pulse Of life returning with a bound,
Thrnbbed wildly and the brave forgot his pain
While tears of deathless love mingled with the
rain.

The Commonwealth beheld his rising star
And babe him onward till he stood among
The Nations great and there renewed the war,
The battle of the weak man with the strong
The endless strife of right against the wrong.
There, side by side with Sumner. he threw down
The mortal challenge to the sullen throng
Thai scowed upon him with the slavers' frow1,
And sought to set again their plume in freedom s

His arm Of iron, In his warike face
Was seen the fire of conflict and his eve
Shone with quenchess light while from his place
He Numbered forth his challenge; and the race
That served the times and doubted, and stood still,
While men were bleeding and the black disgrace
Still wrapt its coils about us felt the thrill
And rose, and stood, and went to battle at his will

Upon his back the savewhip's horrid scar;
