All hail t Illustrious day that gaveat birth To grandest nation on the round, green earth; America, the lat on roll of Time, In all heroic deeds, the mosi ajb'.hn!4. Even when Christ hunjr upon the cursed tree. It soothed Ilia agony to think of thee. Inauguration of the si r oua plan Whereby a God would elevate a man, Ter Freedom Virtue are of twinlike growth. And God alike the origin of both, Amid the darkness of that fearful hour Vhenfrom the earth ujspran;; the passion Co cr, From the same earth, and nursed by self-same tears. Another flower upon th-j scne appear?. Freedom, whose odorous breath, like musk, aball last Till the last roileftone of old Time u visaed. And those who died in dungeons and at btaks Snffering all agonies for emsciencs' .j.kr. Were sires of thoscj vrh o honored sponsors stood Pledging their snored honor and tlK-ir blood. When this proud day with joy we celebrate Was ushered iu to war with rigorimi fate. And God who governs all things hy His will . Bade all the elements f Hate stand still Till this great Nation started on i course, Which doth revolve and will by innate fores. Like sun, the central power of system vast, That holds in orbits all the planets fast, Tis full of strength, of warmth, of light, of hope; It holds all treasures in its circa-i" scope. While Tyrranny is darkness, doubt and fears, And pain and sorrow through the rolling years And those who framed and wrote that grand old creed Of Liberty that year by year x-e read. Which grander grows as r."und the minutes spin Upon July the 4th to Heaven went in. Adams and Jefferson gave- up their breath, And shot like stars up through the dark of Death To shine forever by the Eternal Throne, Where all tlv.-ir compeers gathered one by ens, Hancock and Carroll all who wrote ur bled Died on the field of battle or in bed. With wife and children standing weeping round. Or nobly perished on the unfeeling ground. They all have gone, the flat came to die; Elijah's chariot whirled thtm to the sky. Dear sainted souls as down from Heaven yc look, 0 read our hearts to-doy an open book. The doctrines that ye left, we cherish still, While Time shall last w e and our children will. Can o forgdt how that ye starved sril froze At Valley Forge to circumvent onr foes Our foes far more tha i yours, for we liave reaped And garnered wheat where you but fought ai d wrpt; And those o'd mothers wro alone then stayed, An i said they'd God, aud so wtxe net air id. Long years their forms beneath the lod have Iain, They walked to Heaven along the path of pain, )u their own feet ths thorns or dfo they t-o!c, Un - now n on earth, thev 're written In G od's book And every flower thatbl'o::i3 and every rose Out r'roaa their elust a precious oor throws. This land of ours is freemen's and not slaves', No other land so ful of heroes' grave-. The very giound with beroship 60 lifo That even d ath is here Eternal life. Wh-u the dark clou Is war? gathering ons by oa-i That for awhile obscured our Freedom's sun, And the bad blood that negro slavery bre I, In body politic approached a head, It chanced I wandered to the oods of Maine, To view the rjjve where my grand.-dre had lain Thro'igh many winters enows ; nd summers' blooms'; 1 found the sacred spot the plac of tombs. It was & summer's day. the birds sang loud. The heaven was blue with scarce a fleecy cloud In sight; a mountain huge and grand Stood like a sentinel tor aye at ban , And a sweet lake as pure s crystal sheen, Lav still and qu et like a ?rli83 between, And every flower and shrub along its brink. Stood still, as if it paused awhile to think. My mother's parents there together lay Returned once more to uncreated clay, Beneath a tnarb e shaft that proudly rise, Even in summer's he:t a mount of snows, Italian quarries delved it for its worth, ' And Portland ships transferred it to that earth. My grandsire tirst drew breath in Lexington, And as she led, he followed On aud on. At Valley Forge, at Trenton and White Pla"ii3 He bore his musket and he bore bis pains, And even it joyed him on his dj-ing bed That be had shot a hireling Hessian dead. He drew no pension, but in after years A bill was passed to pay the brave arrears. He and his wife had meantime passed away, And drawn in Heavenly bank all hia back pay. His children took the money they did heir And raised this monument of glory there, And there he lies, to dust and ashes turned, Beneath the monument his valor earned? And when I stood beside that shaft so blight, I swore if Country needed me I'd kigiit ! o when that Lincoln asked New Hampshire's aid. My name was funt upon tha roll hp. made. Wher Massachusetts blood the day bsfiU'Q Had flowed along the streets of Ca'limoro, Our regiment, the Second, passed in ! ,Midt ieb'el emblem, rebel sneer aud baiile, X)n to our country's capital, aud when Jkfor tia White House stood New Hampshire SCO, Uocrtln came forth with worda of priise aud cheer And said. I'm proul, my men, to ri;si you here.' Even then the re' el flag wu plain in sight, . Flaunting defiance on a neighbori&g height, Bat when I cam? back to my native strand There was no rebel flag in all the land, I id my body bore a bullet hence And some have falseb' said it hurt my Svjnse. ' Twas lucky that they chanced not to be there, As they have very little brains to tpare, O, comrades, can we e'er forget the day When the great storm forever swtpt away And left our country saved entire and whole, Her body rent with scars but right her soul; Her iostitu' ions all preserved intact, Not free in thoory, but free in fact. And we who lived to 3ee that storm surcease, And Gd hung out at last the rainbow, Peace, Will ne'er forget the comrades wh have died Like Christ in thin atonement crucified For the great sin of slavery that has peruhtd. And which 83 Ion? our nation foully cherished. I miu I me of July the 4th I spent Benea th the shadow of a shelter-tent. On Gettysburg's victoii us field we lay. The wild simoom of death had passed away. In the Poach Orchard di 1 e fight and strive. Throe hundred numbered we and thirty-five, ' And with the awful hours of battle dona Our hnn Ireds three had dwindled down to one. On s:-cond ct.iy perished the most of men. And what were left on third went in again. And on tho fourth the handful, faint and few, Exhausted ko their Joss they scarcely knew. Lay ou tho earth with boulders for tlnir bed. The living sYcphig almost like the dead. Vioksburg's Rumiiier knew we certain there Twas brought us somehow through the space of air. If not by telegraph the news were heard, God sent as messenger a little bird Like that sweet bird that on the v. indow-sill When Garibaldi's human heart stood still Reminded him of s-nga of Paradise L Which he wou'.d listen to in Just & trice. And round the graves of heroes sing the birds. For all we know, angelic so uds and words, When Naf ure cannot keep her voices still There U not power that can subdue our will. The voice of joy must have its way and vent, : j-i.ie nc.' U33 uoai up 10 me rnr.ament. f ui oiucr aeroes speaic we ere we go, The Veteran of the war with Mexico.

Washington f always destiird to furnished nioro kc -n; arm .s-:risationr. than any oth'T cit in thn cuunlry, rnd the V'nch and the bar never fail to con tribute! more tlian a due proportion. In no city of tin country ltavo such : soc1p3 K'twervi th j court rmJ counsel and between opposing conns! occured as havo marked their experience; here. A very fow years ao within a compara tively brief period two jtulgoR cn the btnch shetl copious to-tra of mortification because of altercations wjch counsel. Another judge was the constant subject of irony and ridicule by the kir beciuse of tho displays which his habits .!d Iiiin into. A week or two ago, during the presence of the .star-rbnto trials, one of tlr counsel called another of the oppos ing cour.iol a liar, and two or three days subsequently an associate of the L:rt called an asvjciata of :t!io sos."nJ v, pup. To-day habitues of the courthouse were treated to two scenes not down on the bills. In the Criminal Court room, IVr. Robert Ingersoll, who ha been over bearing and discourteous during the en tire, progress of the star-routo trials, served notice, in characteristic style, and manner, on the counsel for the prosecu tion that none of them mmt dure to speak to him. In the Equity Court room, alout th' same time, the jufl.!? prosit! inj became involved in a heated controversy with an ' attorney as to the proper time, in which a certain bill could be filed, and when the attorney laid the papers ou the desk befoie him, picked them up rnd threw th;mi at th attorney with all his might, striking him on the head. At the present r.-.te it will not be to. Ion- before th? District cc-urt rooms f cm compete with tho House of Repre- fcetitativrs for th? diistUjetion of being styled the bear garden. Judge-Uradloy, of the Uiiitecl Skites Scprftnse Court to whom Guiteau's counsel ippiifd for a writ of habeas cor j pus, ha.-- filed a denial of the application j with the clerk of the court. Ho holds that the court cf the District of Colum bia has full jurisdiction of the case, and to-day by appointment Miss Chevaillicr, secretary of the National Society for the protection of the Insane, ascotcptm. iftl by Dr. V. W. Godding superintend ent Hospital for the Insane, Dr. G. lit. Beard of New York, ami Rev. W. Hicks, pastor of the East Washington .Tabina cle, who is acting as Guiteau's apirituai advisor, had an interview wrth the pres ident this afternoon in behalf of the on demned man. Tho principal argument the party j advanced was that Guiteau was not properly defended. They said that General B. F. Butler and many other prominent lawyers had remarked that a proper defence had not been made. They also held that if Guiteau was not insan they were satisfied that he should and ought do be hung, for certainly he had committed a most willful murder. They were actuated more by national pride than from sympathy for tho assxs sin. Visitors to the jail are not allowed to sec Guiteau, and if by some . excuse they manage t'o gain admission they are no permitted to sec the assassin, who is secured from observation at all times, whether in his cell or in the corridor tak ing his exercise, by a door erected at the entrance to hi corridor. The gallows is all ready fpr the execution, nothing be ing being needed unless perhaps a little oil should i6 administered totha hinges of the trap. The assassin is evidently losing all lii3 courage, though trying to preserve a' calm demeanor. It is not considered improbable by those who havo watched him of late tint he will break down utterly before the day of his execution, and it ma be required to carry him to the scaffold. He is not allowed one second of relief from this pitiless vigilance, which will last until the surgeons, with their lingers on his i pulse, pronounce the sentence of the court executed. Secretary Tc'ler hss returned from Carlisle, much pleaded with tho evidence of progress among the young Indians. He mlvs that tho boys are doing welt at farm worki and learning the practical part of agiculture. They need more 1 tr.d, and lie will ask for the neans from Congress to purchase, about 200 mere acres of land, which can be worked prof itably. S'uvift twenty-nine "or thirty of the bovs a:i girls aiv placed out with the farmers; of the nehjhr orhood during the MuatiK'i' vi.estion, there is not enough for them u do on the school farm.

II. think- the rls should be taught 'to milk and snaivK butter, in order that when they return whey can .show their people that they ran make other use of their herds thu to kill them all for beef. Thr. f-.rrr'tary is hopeful that Congress Hvill take hold of this matter, from a practioa po:r.t of v:?w.

Itephing to the arguments that had been urged for an out-of-town resilience or a " Cisth in Spain"' for the President Mr. Morrill recited the brief advantages cf the pres ent site, and brielly sketched its history. The $300,000 appropriated for the work this year would be expended by a com mission, consisting of the President and the Secretaries of the Treasury and In terior. Two years will be lequired to complete the extension and duiing its progress the occupancy of the present building wi 1 not bo interrupted. August. Time For Itcflcction. John C. Powers, for the killing of Ben. Cornelius, is under sentence of death on Friday, August 11th, between the hours of 10 A. M. nnd 2 p. M., and we think there are soruo facts in the case which j needs careful consideration. If Mr. Powers was a common culprit, i guilty in the fullest sense of the term of this highest crime known to modern law, we should have, nothing to sny ; but we believe there circumstances connected with the commission of this ded wlr;,', fidiould chan.ge the U&Vaf? of the crirtJ IU thi minds of the people, if not in the letter of tip law. If wo are to admit that threat.! were made against tho life i of Cornelius bv Powers, that on the morning of the fatal day they were put Into execution, resulting in the death of the former, still wo must hoar in mind that like threats were made against the life of Powers, and that when they met both were equally anxious for the fray. In the encounter both were badlv wouud tc, unfortunately Mr. Cornelius fatally; and it whs the. merest chance that Mr. Powers escaped with his life, as his wounds were of such a uaturo that his recovery was doubtful. An apeali iu this case has been taken to the Supreme court, and the rulings of the court below sustained, and, perhaps, this should act sa a barrier to any com- one, similsr to it in its exterior and con j n:ako an investment of from 25 to $1, uected with it by a broad corridor, and ! 000 without the least risk of loss, as our mnhtinn of the sentence We have nothing to criticise in the action of the courts or jury, but believe they acted in telligently and consciensiously ; still, we think there are features to this crime, which should mitigate tho severity of the punishment. Threats were mado by each against the life of tho other, and in theencou ritur we can see no difference in the crime of either, except that tho injuries inflictnd -by Powers resulted fa tally. Suppose that tho result were re versed, and Powers died and Cornelius recovered, the crime of the survivor would be equally great From all these circumstances we do not believe that Powers hhould suffer death for the killing of Cornelius, and we say this as a citizen and a journalist, and with proper respect to the decisions of the courts. That a crime has been committed, no one can doubt; but that the life of the survivor was saved by an accident, and that he was in equal jeop ardy with his unfortunate opponent, we think would be sufficient consideratians to chauge the act from murder in the first to murder in the second degree, or perhaps to manslaughter. If the pun ishment were of such a nature that any mistake rould be rectified, then perhaps it would not call for such great care in the execution of the sentence, but after Powers is hung all persous are precluded from making amends for possible mis takes or errors.
