''Resolved, That the Senate receives with

death of William Tecumseh Sherman, late
general of the armies of the United States
Resolved, That the Senate renews its
acknowledgment OF the inestimable service
which he rendered his country in the day
of its extreme peril, laments the great loss
the country has sustained, and deeply sym
pathizes with his family in their bereave-
ment."
Senator Hawley spoke in eulogy of the
dead general, as did also Senators Mander
son, Price, Dawes, Evarts and Morgan
The latter said, in part: 1.-The fidelity Of
the great general who has departed wa!
the true and simple faith of an American
to his convictions Of duty. We differed
, with him and contreted campaigns ant
, battlefields with him. But we welcome
the history of the great soldier as tn
, proud inheritance of our country. Tn
military leaders on both sides OF our civil
war are rapidly marching across tn
border to the land where histor,
and truth and justice must decide upol
every mans career. When line s
narrow divides US from those higl
courts in which our actions are to b
!, Judged by their motives, and when so man,
! millions are now living and increasing
millions to follow are to be affected by tn
wisdom of our enactments, we will do wei
to give up the day to reflection upon on
duties, and in sympathy with this gres
> country to dedicate a day to his memory
In such a retrospect we shall find an ad
monition that an American Senate sha
! meet on this side of the fatal line of deaf
: as American generals meet on the othe
side, to render justice to each other and
make our beloved country as happy con
y, paratively as we could wish the great be
> yond to be to those great spirits"
I The resolutions were then adopted uuan
mously and the presiding officer was r,
quested to appoint committee of five
attend the funeral and the Senate &C
, iourned.
