TJ3TVEILING THE MONUMENT. ; To-day are gathered in Virginia's capital city; thousands of the sons and daughters of Virginia and of the Southland to do honor to the mem ory of one of the greatest dead or living Americans, one of the greatest deid or i living soldiers, one of the greatest : men of this or any other country, this or any other age. To day the veil will be lifted and the equestrian statue of Robert E. Lee will be given to the world.) ' . j There is something sublime and deeply touching in this fond devo tion of the people of the South to the memory of their great soldier, whom" brave men in armsj followed with the zeal and enthusiasm of wor shippers, and all, soldier jind civil ian, honored and loved as few men are honored and loved,, not J merely be-; I cause he was the leader ot armies, great in victory and in defeat, not because he was a brilliant command er' who by his genius, seconded by the confidence, devotion ind valor of the men he led, won glorious vic tories from superior numbers, and for four years with small afmies kept large armies at bay;' not for this, only but because "duty" was the inspira tion of his life, duty that jabnegated self in' obedience td the call of his State, duty for which he bore every sacrifice and faced ever)' p.eril . While honored and belo(ved of all his was 'one of those Characters, rarely met with upon the scroll jof men made famous, in. whijeh selfish ness entered in'no part, !a grand, self- denying, "glorious man, who thought never of self, who harbored no i :.

In the retired, peaceful shades of Lexington, still pursuiho- the line of duty jjas he saw it, in Uncomplaining, dignified silence, he; rounded up the symmetry of that beantif ul, peerless life, went to sleep on the breast of his mother, quietly passing frdm this life to that, higher life, the immor talized of history, the idolized,' of the lauuiiui wu.icu ne gave an, aarea an, and iwould have suffered all. This is the imperfectly and hastily sketched man to whbse'memory the Southern people are; paying, tribute to-day m the beautiful city ion the James, which hospitably throws open J her gates; and welcome the daughters of .her i doors and South to the sons the who come to participate With her in the noble memorial tribute to th memory of this grand son of (Virginia and the South, no less than of Vir- girtja, for though his "body belongs to her his lame is the heritage of all, for he led all, he fought for and with all.j ;Not only to the South, but to all America his fame belongs, for he and the gallant men who fought with him shed lustre upon the flag they battled against, because it was American valor they showed in spired by the same devotion to coun try; and to duty that . inspired their lathers whose struggles built .the Republic and gave that flag to the world. It is. said that Senators Farwell arid Cullom of Illinois will swipe the House tariff blK because if it pass in its present shape it would hurt the World's Fair, by preventing for eigners from making (exhibits, and they are banking more on the Fair than they are on the tariff. They are quite lever as regards the Mc- Kinley job. '. I . j Col.

J 4. , ,v - MOTOR MENTION. ;; Mr. Winaniaker, Postmaster Gen eral, . is lone of the conspicuous figures of , thej Harrison 'Administra tion. H( , like the balance of them, is a civil service reformer, and also an exa-mflar ik carryng oatjthe laws which hive peen enacted for the governm :nt of his department. But it seems hat when it comes to con ferring jfivileges on favorites he does not besit ate to violate not only the spiritf but the letter of the law. There is in Washington a pension, agent n; bed Lemon. He does a rushing liiisiness and when Tanner was cor imissioner had full, swing of the pension . office. The probabilities are he has yet. He pub lishes in Washington a paper called the National Tribuue, to boost '-his business He I has been mailing these papers bkr- th sackful to the differ ent postiffices of, the country, ad dressed to real and fictitious per sons, anfl'on the wrapper of each he has nnnted somethinsr like the tol- lowing: i 'If this paper is not.de-. livered tp the person addressed, .'jthe postmaster will please deliver it to any ex-Unioi soldier, or to some one interested in claims growing out of the war of the rebellion." This is a clear violat ion of the postal laws, which fexpressly prohibit anything of thd kind, and it became a bore to some of the postmas- ters waO brotested against t as a vio ation of law, to which they did not fcare to become the papers. a party by The atten distributing tion of the editor of the United Slates Afaiy al paper published at Chicago, was called to it and he entered formal ;dm)laint. No attention was paid to it. The packages continued to arrive, sc he posted off to AVash insfton o lay the matter in, form be fore Mif. Wanamaker, which he did after fif st getting the opinion of Judge Tyner, Assistant Attorney General, who pronounced it a iclear violatio n of the law, and expressed surprise that it had been all!we(. He then called on Mr. Wana maker who coolly informed him that he knew all about ' it and not only gave hjs consent but proposed to let Mr. Leponj continue sending out his Stacks (of papers as usual. A stormy scene followed in which Mr. Patter son forcibly and freely expressed his opinion ot Mr. wanamaker anu ins methods and informed him that he proposed to make that thing pretty hot for him and see if he couldj fwith impunity v violate the law which he was entrusted to execute.: ( Mr. Lemon is one of the men wbo chip ped in pretty liberally to help elect Harrison and make Wanamaker Post masted General.

This is intended to accomplish the pur pose pimcd at in the bill introduced by Ssnator Stanford, and ' to be a subst tutc for the Sub-treasury bill for 1 he establishment of govern ment warehouses. &c. While this is preferable to the sub-treasury plan, if thbre matters, is any preference in such it is open to the same ob jection that all these schemes; are, and that is that they are i entirely outsi le of the province of this eov- erhrrJentj that they are throwing down the constitutional barriers. and opening the way to alii manner of unwarranted, ill-judged arid reck less legislation. The indications are that the Balti mor and Ohio railroad will before long become part of the Richmorid and Dariville West Point Terminal system, as negotiations have for some time been pending with that viewj. One of the points to be over come is the satisfactory disposition of or arrangement for the preferred stock bf the State. The i scheme seems to be favored in Baltimore. The growth and prominence achieved by this organization, growing : origi nally oiit of a road less than two hundred miles long, and within twen ty years, is a marvellous piece of rail road history. It is to-day one of the greatest organizations in this coun try, ho d and successful.

CENSUS QUESTION. Obnoxious Enquiries "WTifoh Citizens Are j Required to Answer. ' ; i Some of the questions which the cen sus enumerators are required to ask un der instructions ; from the Census Bu reau have given rise to a great deal of discussion' in the newspapers. The most obnoxipus of the inquiries are the two which relate to. the health and physical condition of the individual, questions No. -22 land 23, which are as follows: No. 22. Whether suffering frdm acute or chronic disease, with name of disease and length of time afflicted. No. 23. : Whether detective m "mind, sight, ; hearing of speech, or whether crippled, maimed or deformed, with name of detect. - ; - Some of the newspapers have advised that when these questions are pro pounded the answer should be, "I don't know,"j on the suggestion of "a promi nent New York lawyer who says: Or dinary persons are not experts in medi cal evidence, and are not capable of tes tifyingjof their own knowledge," whether they are suffering from "acute or chronic diseases," or as to how long they have been afpicted, or whether they are ."de- fective in mind, sight, hearing, or or are crippled, maimed or de or what is the name of their speech, formed disease or defect. if any. These are matters of opinion, in the vast majority of case$, and matters of expert opinion ,at that, T and the questions in regard to them cn only be answered, if at all, by physicians and surgeons who have made them an especial study. A Pjress dispatch from Washington, in relation to these questions, received last night, says that the Superintendent of the Census has issued the following important order to all census super visors: . . j; . Department of Interior, Census OJfice, Washington, May 26: To Supervisors of the Cehsus- You will please instruct enu merators in cases where persons refuse to answer questions on the population schedule relating to physical and men tal disabilities (22 and 23) or questions relating to farm houses and mortgages (26 to 30, inclusive) to enter in a proper column the words "refused to. answer." No further steps will be necessary on the part of the supervisor or enumera tor and all legal proceedings will be in stituted bv the Washington office through the Department of Justice. The Charleston New and Courier in re lation ito this matter says: "It has become known within the past few days, ' how ever, that the character ot the questions ,to be ksked by ths enumerators was left to the1 discretion of the officers of the 1 Census Bureau, and that the law which gave them this discretion was passed by the House in the absence of a quorum, and by the votes of-perhaps a dozen members out of the 225 then constitut ing that body. In this view ot the cir cumstances under which the obnoxious questions were placed on the 1 enu merators schedule, nearly the whole pressjof the country has united in con demning the inquisitorial character of some. of the questions; in advising every citizejn not tq.answer questions 22 and 23 particularly, unless he is perfectly willing to do so and in calling on Con gress to order the objectionable ; ques tions to be expunged from the schedule or materially modified. i "These protests and demands have at last mipelled members in both houses of Congress to look into the subject of complaint, resolutions have been ; intro duced looking to a revision of the schedule of questions, and it is probable that the resolutions will be passed this week and the whole matter will be set tled in a right and proper way by the suppresion of the obnoxious inquiries." A TRAIN WRECKED. Washout on the W., C. & A. Boad Near Columbia, S. C Several Persons In jured, but No One Seriously Hurt. Tjhe unprecedented rain storm that prevailed Monday in the interior of the State caused considerable damage to rail-! roads', and must have seriously injured, the growing crops. On the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta railroad, fourteen miles east of Columbia, the storm washed away thir ty-jfive, feet of the roadway, at a point two hundred feet from an arch culvert. Tram No. 51 which left Co lumbia for Wilmington at 11 o'clock Monday night ran into the washout. Tjie engine went over safely, but the rest of the train left the track. Two cirs and the sleeper were wrecked and several persons were injured. Con ductor G. W. Gruber received the worst injuries, one of his legs being broken and his face cut by glass; Mr. Sam Bunt ing, Pullman car conductor, was cut slightly about the head; Albert Gary,' a drummer from Dalton, Ga., had a knee crushed, and Express Messenger Taylor and several passengers werebruisedand Shaken up. , . J j The Railroad Company had a work ing force on the ground in a very short time, and there was no interruption of travel yesteraay beyond the delay in transferring passengers at the break.! It was expected that the damage to the track would be repaired bv this morn ng. - - ' . .

King Superintendent of the County Workhouse, came to the city yesterday to obtain assistance in redu cing to submission three refractory prisoners Thomas Holden, Son Col lins and Richard Thomas all young colored men. The Superintendent said that Richard Thomas ' refused to go into the stockade when or dered to do . so, and I when an attempt was made to force him to obey he resisted, and the two other prisoners mentioned , came to Thomas' assistance and one of them struck Mr. King on the head. The latter drew his pistol and fired at Holden. but failed to hit him. Finally, with the assistance of two workmen employed at the place and Wesley Watson, a colored convict, the superintendent succeeded in getting the refractory prisoners into the stock ade, and then came to the city for as sistance. He made application to Mayor Fowler, who referred him to the sheriff; but at the request of the county authorities police officers Brinkley, Howland, Howell and Collins were sent out to the scene of the trouble, in com pany with two or jthree of the sheriff'! deputies. Theofhcers found the prison ers quiet and had.no ' difficulty in put ting shackles on them. H 1 Richard Thomas is the man who shot at his wife near Hilton and Thos.

A Man and his Wife and Two of their - Children, together with Several Other Children Browned, - . - i- " . By Telegraph to the Morning Star. . .. i Fall River, Mass.; May 25. One of the saddest and most heartrending accidents-which has occurred in this city for years, took place on Watu ppa Lake, about 12.15 o'clock this afternoon. A party of twelve persons, comprising Samuel W. Wittles l and wife, Henry Wittles, William Wittles, Levin Buck ley, "Willie Buckley, Frederick Buckley, Willie Turner, John. Buckley, Edwin Turner,' Edwin Attles and George Hammer, hired a boat at the pond and went out rowing. There was a strong wind blowing and' the water ruffled, The boat into which the party embark ed i was a common, flat bottomed one, with a seating capacity for eight, and was j too . small to accommodate so many people. The party was observed trying to work their way toward, the shore, just north l of Pamerping, station, f This was difficult work, as the water was rough and the wind strong, and the rowers unexperi enced. When the boat load of pleasure seekers was within twenty feet of the shore, one of the children rocked the boat. The men cautioned the child to remain quiet, but the child was unmind ful of this advice. Suddenly, without a moment's warning, j the boat capsized. Heart-rending cries rent the air, which were heard by fireman Bullock, of Pam erping station, and James Lafferty, but they were unable to render any assist tance. Turner was the only one of the party who could swim. He grasped Mr. iWittles by the waist and attempted to bring him to the shore, and. although Willetts was a heavy man, Turner suc ceeded in doing so .In the meantime the women were struggling in the water. Three or four parties on shore called to them to cling to the boat, but their fail ing strength was unequal . to the task, and the women and children sank out of sight. Four of the party had struck out for shore on their own hook, and suc ceeded in reaching it in an .exhausted condition. The following were drown ed, their bodies being recovered later in the day: Samuel Wittles, aged 50; Mrs. Wittles, aged 45; Henry Wittles. aged 10; Samuel Wittles, Jr.. aged 12; Levin Buckley, aged 35; Fred. Buckley, aged 3: Willie Buckley, aged 8. Willie Tur ner, aged 9. ! s M. E. CHURCH SOUTH. General Conference Committees Elected, Etc. .

Majority and minority reports came from the Committee on Finance re garding plans for ; entertaining the next General Conference. After a long de bate the majority: report, which recom mends that $27,000 be raised by assess ment on the various Conferences on the basis of Bishop's funds, was adopted. A good deal of debate grew out of the proposition to take from the Holston Conference its North Carolina territory and add it to the new West North Car olina Conferences. Holston fought hard against this, but the separation was finally agreed to. St. Louis, May 27. The General Conference of the M. E.
