conflict hundreds are TO fall; for them simple
grave, perhaps on the battlefield ITSELF perhaps
in the quiet Of their village church-yard, will be
all the outward honors the times will allow. But
they now know, hearing of the splendid obsequies
which were done about the bier Of Ellsworth,
that for them a wreath Of un6ding green will
always hang in the chambers of a nations men,

to take exception to some of his positions. Es-
peciaIy does it decline to accept the Arch
bishops statement that the success OF the Repuo'
licans was primarily the cause Of this great re-
belliOn. 1t says:

The conflict Of tariffs will soon become


really serious matter The Morrill, tar
iff must be executed in all American po.ts
or become a dead letter. If European
goods can be thrown into Southern ports
by the payment Of mere nominal duties
and without the opposition of the Federal
Government, win European consignors
have such unbOunded regard for our Fed
eral Consultation and laws as to send their
exports to Northern ports where the Nor
rill tariff is in full force?


Already the prominent merchants of
Eastern cities are much concerned about
the shape the matters of trade is to take
in the immediate future, and have visited
Washington to consult with government
officials on the subject. The former have
declared that if Southern ports are excus-
ed from the operation Of the new revenue
law, they will be compelled to import their
goods for Western and Southern customers
through those ports The ready satisfac-
ton offered them is that goods received at
Western ports free of duty will be conGs-
Gated with eommendable promptness.


This literal execution of the Morrill, tar
if may answer in few cases. but it can
never become permanent; at least not so
long as secession is not recognized. Con-
merce is entirely practical and will utterly
fail to discern the hair-spun theory that

avs are of no more practical effect in
