Resolved, etc, That the secretary of state be-
and he is hereby authorized to transfer the said
relics to the custody of the secretary OF the Smith
sonian institution for safe-keeping and exhibition
in the National museum"
The resolution accepting the Washington sword
and Franklin staff passed by both houses on
the same day. The proceedings in the house were
especially impressive, many senators and diplo
mats being present. The speech of presentation
was delivered by Representative George w. Sum-
mers of Virginia. The part of his address refer
ring to the Washington sword contains the follow
ing interesting information concerning the weapon
carried long by the Father of His Country:
Mr.. Summers-AIr. Speaker, / rise for the pur
pose OF dischargng an office not connected with
the ordinary business of a legislative assembly
Yet, in asking permission to interrupt, for mo-
ment, the regular order of parliamentary proceed
ings, cannot doubt that the proposition which
have to submit will prove gratifying as it may
be unusual.
Mr.. Samuel I. Washington, citizen of Kama
wha county, in the commonwealth of Virginia, and
of my constituents, has honored me with the
commission of presenting, in his name and on his
behalf, to the congress of the United States, and
through that body to the people of the United
States, two most interesting and valuable relics
connected with the past history of our country and
with men whose achievements, both in the field and
in the cabinet best illustrate and adorn our annals
One is the sword worn by George Washington
In Forbes campaign against the French and Indi-
ans, and afterwards during the whole period of
the War of Independence commander in chief
of the American army.
It is plain cutleau, hanger with green hit
and silver guard. On the upper ward of the scab-
bard is engraven 81 Bailey; Fishkill." 1t is ac-
companied by buckskin belt which is secured
by silver buckle and clasp, whereon are engraven
the letters sc. W." and the figures 1851" These
are all of the painest workmanship, but substan-
tal and in keeping with the and with the
times to which they belonged.
The history of this sword is perfectly authentic,
and leaves no shadow of doubt to its identity.
The last will and testament of George Washing
ton, bearing date the ninth day of February,
1799 contains, among a great variety of bequeSts.
the following clause: "To each of my nephews.
William Augustine Washington George Lewis,
George Steploe Washington, Bushrod Washington,
and Samuel Washington, l give of the swords
or cutleaux of which | may die possessed and
they are to choose in the order they are named.
These swords are accompanied with injunction
not to unsheathe them for the purpose of shedding
blood except it be for Sefdefense or in defense of
their country and Its rights and, in the Inter case,
to keep them unsheathed and prefer falling with
