THE NATIONAL IIRTHDAT.
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.

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

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

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.

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. The Dalles Times.

Last Saturday evening we went down !
to bold an inquest on a )ody found bo- i
low tho oioutb of Tide Creek near the
hottsa of S. P. Hunter. Charles fipecht
found it when returning from Kalama.
He with the assistance of Hunter took
off some fctuda and buttons and sent up
to Alonzo Merrill who identified then
as belonging to F. 11. Mattson a man
who had been iu his employ. Thin Matt
son attempted on a Sunday morning
just before Decoration Day to swim on
horseback from the main land to Deer
Island. The horse came back without
saddle and bridle to tho pasture from
which it had been taken. Mattson was
fully identified; Lyman Merrill, Satuucl
Conrad and Edwin Merrill buried him
on Edwin Merrill's land.
