The Senate Refers the Nomination TO
the Finance Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. determination of
nominations without referring them to
committee is reserved by the Senate for
men who are or have been members Of that
body, or national heroes like Grant or
Porter. Charles Foster had to wait until
to-day before the Senate even touched the
nomination, which came in early Saturday,
and was then only referred to the finance
committee This disappointed the Presi-
dent and, doubtless. ex-Gov. Foster, who
bad hoped the Senate would confirm him on
Saturday, holding an informal meeting of
the finance committee for that purpose.
Time is precious with both Of them just
now, the thirty-day limit expiring next
Monday.

Way"
There are at least two claimants IN the
field at this very moment. and many men
have languished and died under the I'M
preston that they wrote 1t. and tnat M
ungrateful generation had denied TO them
the credit which was Their just due.
SO far as we know DIR. PALMER OF New
York, and Mr.. KING, Of Petersburg Othe
DIVER formerly of Richmond, are both men
of honor and yeracity. but obviously one
or the other is harborlng delusion.
Whoever wrote the piece probably never
saw JACKSON. or else he would not have de-
scribed HIM IA wearing a "siottched hd'.'
According TO reliable authorities JACKSON
wore a military cap. Possibly he NAV
have been seen occasionally with siouchea
hat on. but that was not his custom and he
should not have been pictured IN that
way.
We observe from one of our contempt
raries that "Stonewall Jackson's Way" as
read at Lexington. was changed to suit the
facts, but ut great sacrifice to the verse,
as follows
We see him now--the queer draJ cap
Cooked DER his eye aekew;
The shrewd. dry smile; the speech 80 pat,
So calm 20 blunt, so true!
Now in Southern Poems Of the War "
collected and arranged in 1867 by Miss
EMILY V. Mason land from which we copied
the poem for our Sundays issue) the lines
read:
We see him now-the olds'ouched hat
Cooked DER his eye askew;
Tho shrcwd dry, smile; the speech 90 pnt,
SO calm, 20 blunt, 30 true.
Now obviously this latter is the way that
the rhymester wrote il, and il is point
which we wish TO present to the considera-
ton of the claimants. Let them forward
us their explanations. Why did they put
hat on Jackson? Versifcation would
have been just as easy with cap as
scores of good, poetical words will rhyme
with that.

Early's Eulogy of jackson.


The address of General Jubal Early at
the unveiliug ceremonies of the Jackson
statue IN Lexington. Va, yesterday was
an elaborate tribute to the great Confede-
rate leader and little else. There may be
those who looked for something different
from the bluff. implacable old soldier,
whose views of the war the lapse OF time
is slow to change. but General Early wisely
chose the better part OF historian and
eulogist and executed the trust imposed
upon him with becoming dignity.
Instead of cursing the luck by which
the Confederate cause was lost, and seek
ING TO rekindle the fires of sectional pas
sion, as some orators of much greater pre-
tension TO eloquence and genius are IN the
habit of doing ON similar occasions, he
found in the character and courage and
consummate military abilities Of his Illus
trious subject theme quite sufficient
TO engage the attention and command
the reverent enthusiasm OF his vast au-
dience.
IL is an address that will please the
South much better than an incendiary
barangue. and with which the North Will
have no fault TO find.

The Washington correspondent OF the

thought 10 be the dangerous plank IN the
Ohio Democratic platform by conservative
members of the party there and elsewhere.
He adds:
Tho sincere friends Of Governor Campbell

wared on the tariff issue. and they regret that
the silver question WAS given such prominence.
The money-bags Of the East will be opened to
the Republicans In Ohio and the Democratic
