THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
IHURSDAT, August 5. 1875.
Lord Byron ami llis Monument—The
“Late Remorse of Love.”
The relatives of Lord Byron seem
averse to have anything done in the
way of putting a suitable monument
over his remains because they were
denied the privilege of having him
buried in Westminster Abbey. But,
according to two registers kept at the
grave of the Poet for 25 yeare which
were bought of the Parish Clerk, at
Hueknall, 30 years since, by a brother of
Mr. Geo. A. Oates, in whose posses
sion they now are, it seems there were
many of his warm friends and admir :
ers who had contrary views. The very
last effusion brought forth by a visit to
the Poet’s remains is this :
NOVEMBER 17, 1847.
The Hueknall bells are just ringing a peal.
(My friends were then taking their grog)
1 can hardly express how indignant I feel
i hat Lord Byron fares worse than his dog.
Some day his remains will be honored, I
trust,
And a far nobler shrine be selected
lime soon will render more precious his
dust,
And be like our Shakspeare’s respected.
J. J. FAULKNER.
The reference to the dog in the first
stanza recalls the fact that Lord Byron
placed a handsome monument over his
dog, Boatswain.
To show that his relatives were in
no hurry to put a tablet of any kind
over him, we quote from another part
of the book, the first blank leaf of which
is inscribed as follows:
At this period no monument, not even a
simple slab such as records the death of
the humblest villager in the neighborhood,
lias been erected to mark the spot in which
all that i3 mortal of the greatest man of
our day reposes, and now he has been
buried more than twelve months.
July, 1825. J. B.
Alluding to the controversy between
Lady Anne Blunt and Mr. Disraeli,
the New York World closes an elegant
article, on its .editorial page, with these
appropriate words: “Hot as were the
political passions of England at the
time of Byron’s death, it is certain that
neither the extreme liberality of the
great poet’s religious opinions nor the
license of his life could be decently
pleaded against his admission into a
sanctuary in which Tom Killigrew
sleeps with St. Evermond and the
second Charles with the two Villi -
f.rses, Dukes of Buckingham.
“It seems to us to be clearly due to
the living representatives of Byron
that their wishes should be respected
in regard to the actual burial-place of
the most famous of their race. But
something is due also to the altered
and bettered public sentiment of Great
Britain about him; and we can really
see no reason why the grandchildren of
the poet should be allowed to prevent
the erection of a becoming monument
to him either in the form of a cenotaph
within the “Poet’s Corner” of the
Abbey or a statue in some public
place of London. Byron’s personal
beauty was such that any statue or
bust of him which is not a caricature
ought to be an ornament to any site
which may be found for it. Dean
Stanley, who delights in nothing so
much as in an opportunity of showing
the extreme liberality of his opinions
on all sorts of subjects, would scarcely
raise any scruples of an orthodox na
ture against welcoming Byron into
Westminster after making such haste
as he did to secure the interment of
Dickens within the sacred precincts.
And there are at least a dozen beauti
ful parks and squares in the British
capital, in any one of which a worthy
statue of the poet might be set up with
great propriety.”
In one of our exchanges we find, un
credited, the subjoined remarks upon
this theme, which go to demonstrate
that there is retribution and compen
sation even in this world:
More than half a century ago a funeral
cortege passed slowly along the road to
the church of Hueknall, bearing in its van
the coffin and coronet of a peer of the
realm, who had added to the tinsel and tas
sels of a long line of nobility the imperish
able name of Byron, the greatest English
poet of the nineteenth century. The grand
and august Necropolis of men mighty in
war, in council, and in the genius of prose
and song, closed its inhospitable portals to
all that remained of his mortality, and his
roat was under the village altar, surround
ed by a landscape of swelling mountains
and sloping valleys made immortal by his
verse. To him the repose of the grim Ab
bey was nothing. When he traced the lines,
. “I twine
My hopes of being: remembered in my line
With my land’s language,”
there was a prophetic inspiration upon his
soul. V ith the tongue and the literature
his fame is eternally wedded; and in the
present obscurity of many of his contem
poraries, he remains undiminished in lus
tre. It is now proposed to erect a statue to
his memory in London. In the custom of
mankind which gives such memorials to
those worthy of its distinction, this is well;
but neither Shakespeare, MiLton, nor By
ron needs the aid of imitative art to rescue
lrora oblivion the names of either. Some
six yeirs ago, when Byron was in the sleep
which followed his brief and fervid life,
a publication was made in an American
magazine, high in character and wide in
dissemination. It purported to be an
explanation of the causes of his most
hapless domestic disaster. The writer was
of a family honored and in broad repute.
She was the authoress of a romance which
had more to do with the murder of a mil
lion of Americans and the saddling of labor
with a debt of three thousand million of
dollars, than perhaps any other devilish
agency. But she and her brother, who
aided her in her villainy, have got their re
ward, even in this world. The secret pur
ported to come from no less authority than
the unhappy survivor. Lady Byron her
self. It was in all of its surmises, for there
were no facts and no proof, repugnant to
loathing. It had not the slightest plausi
bility for belief; on the contrary, proba
bility was outraged in its absurdity of im
putation. A woman with her heart de
voured by an undying remorse, to
which was added a religious fanaticism in
itself almost an insanity, breathes out a
wretched tale, which is hurriedly reduced
to paper and given to the winds. The ex
cuse for such a divulgence, even if true, is
beyond any conceivable motive.
And now how does that retribution,
which does not wait for the trumpet and
awakening of the day of judgment, come
back to that transgressor in its terrible
penalty! The avenging angel is among her
own household gods. All Christendom is
stirred by an alleged infamy, which stains
the sanctity of the priest, the purity of the
husband, and the honor of the man. This
reckless aid ruthless libel upon a poet,
who, sinning much, suffered equally in the
universal law of compensation, rebounds
harmlessly from the grave of the dead to
the hearthstone of the living; and a
shining light of the present genera
tion is dim in an eclipse which
may nevermore pass away. The ques
tion of guilt after such a defense and
subsequent defiance of public opinion as we
have witnessed, does not appeal to sym
pathy or propitiate severity of judgment.
What may be the exact proportion of un
believers in his innocence to the aggregate,
is not important. It is large in count and
overshadowing in intellect. To them the
scarlet letter is lurid upon his breast, and
the brand upon his forehead is the double
brand of adultery and of perjury. Nor
shouid it be without remark, in
the righteousness of the general sen
tence, that while revivi g regret
seeks to do honor to a neglected
name, maligned by this family, when the
fame of its brightest figure is passing
into a blight of condemnation for which
there can be no human redemption, the
marble and inscription in the metropolis
of the world will recall one of the suprem
est of
“The dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who
s till rule
Our spirits from their urns.”
For the living, not sitting in sackcloth,
but pretending to scorn the world’s great
sorrow, defiant of men’s verdict and flout
ing the judgment of justice in haughty dis
dain, wo need not seek to indicate the
measure of the ransom which can redeem
his soul. It passes from the human tribu
nal to the final audit of God.
A more signal rebuke to the Beecher
family than this London testimonial to
Lord Byron cannot be well imagined.
It is true, as Mr. Disraeli intimates,
that the noble bard will live as long as
the Adriatic murmurs its soug, and the
lair of Ravenna has an abiding place
on earth. On every peak of the Appe
nine and by the isles of the Siren his
spirit shall survive. Upon the Athe
nian Acropolis and where the “moun
tains look on Marathon” he still lives.
Each cape and promontory of the lands
of song and story are his monuments—
“ Andi no dim halo, all unknown before,
Gilds the gray waste of Missilonghi’s
shore.”
Despite these facts, it is fitting that
the men of this century should not
allow Italy and Greece to own his spell
entirely; and while his dust should re
main by the side of his mother’s relics,
a grand statue in the city of his birth
would bo only a fitting tribute to one
who, whatever his errors, can “only
perish with the English language.”
Book Notice.
From W. T. Richards & Son, we have
the July number of “The Forum,” a
legal periodical issued simultaneously
in New York, London, and Leipzig and
a publication of unsurpassed profes
sional excellence. It is particularly
valuable for giving long in advance of
the publication of the regular reports,
the most important decisions of the
Supreme Courts of the United States
and of the several States, as also for
noticing the chief legal developments
in England and upon the Continent.
Wharton, Redfield, Jameson, Lau
rence and other jurists of that high
stamp are among the contributors, and
in the present number we particularly
note an exhaustive article on Evidence
—“always be sure of your evidence,” as
per the great Maryland lawyer, Luther
Martin— and a handsomely written pa
per on the jurisdiction of law courts in
church matters, a topic of rising value.
We understand that the Commis
sioners of Barnwell county will insti
tute suit against a person in Barnwell
village who has recently, under the
signature of Carolinian, assailed them
with charges which they deem libelous.
In publishing these letters we disavow
any intention of becoming mixed up in
a purely local affair, and if any injustice
has been done the Commissioners, we
shall be pleased to rectify it, in any
practicable way.
PATHETIC, BUT GLORIOUS.
Letter of a Brave Man and Worthy
Judge Who Died for Law and
Order.
The Boston Journvl says : One of the
most dastardly deeds ever perpetrated
in a region distinguished for its law
lessness was the recent murder of
Judge E. F. Dwyer, at Granite, Luke
county, Col. The Judge was a fearless
and efficient man, and apparently the
only one in the county with courage
enough to oppose himself to the ruffian
ism of the region. Recently some act
of violence more than usually lawless
was perpetrated, and the Judge
promptly issued warrants for the arrest
of the guilty parties. Immediately the
worst elements of the population were
aroused against him, and an armed
mob of desperadoes, headed in person
by the county Sheriff, seized the Judge
by force while in court. On the way
up the stairs of another building to
which they were taking him the das
tards fired four pistol shots at him
from behind, killing him instantly. The
victim of this most cowardly and brutal
murder, while waiting in Court under
guard of the mob, wrote the following
tender and pathetic letter to his father,
Rev. Mr. Dwyer, of Monument, Barnsta
ble county, Mass., every line of which
breathes a spirit of fearlessness and
devotion, and shows the heroic nature
of the man who was thus brought face
to face with death:
“Granite, July 3, 1875.
“Dear Father —I don’t know that the
sun will ever rise and set for me again
or not, but I trust in God and His
mercy. At 8 o’clock I sit in court. The
mob have me under guard. Mr. Gil
liland is missing this morning, but I
eannot think harm has befallen him.
God bless you, mv father, in your old
age, and in Sam and his boy—in all
your children —but you know John
bears the name. Bless him and his
forever. Omy God!
“My love to all friends and say I am
proud to be your son. There is no
cowardice in me, father. lam worthy
of you in this respect. God comfort
you and keep you always. lam in this
one respect like Him who died for all;
I die, if die I must, for law, order, and
principle, and, too, I stand alone. Your
loving and true, and, I hope in some
respects, worthy son,
Elias F. Dwyer.”
“Dear Carrie,” she wrote, “to-mor
morrow I am going to the Branch, and
I do so long to revel in the billowy em
braces of the ocean,” The young bride
does not leave the altar with more de
licious expectation than that with
which this young enthusiast for the
first time entered the surf. Within
four minutes, however, after making
the fateful plunge, she had turned
fourteen involuntary somersaults, got
a piece of clam-shell in her right eye,
had the skin rubbed off both her
shoulder-blades, being stood on her
head seventeen times, was finally res
cued and hauled up the bluff in a
comatose state, and has been spitting
sand, at intervals, ever since.
PILLS AND POWDER.
Bloody Work Between Physicians at
Cyntliania, Ky.—Two Vacancies in
the Medical Profession.
[Cynthania, Ky., Special (July 29) to the Cin
cinnati Enquirer.
A terrible double tragedy occurred
here this evening, in which Dr. E. J.
Peckover and C. L. Donnally were both
killed. It seems that they had an al
tercation yesterday about some pecu
niary matters, and Peckover called
Donnally a liar. But nothing serious
was thought of the matter until this
evening.
About 5 o’clock, Dr. Donnally was
near Dr. Peckover’s office door, when,
Peckover coming out, Dr. Donnally
called to him and said: “You called
me a liar yesterday.” and as Dr. Peck
over turned around facing him, Don
nally deliberately shot Peckover, the
ball passing through the heart, killing
him almost instantly. Donnally imme
diately gave himself up, Deputy Mar
shal H. T. Hoffman and Constable
James Ewalt taking charge of him.
About a quarter before six o’clock,
while he was still in charge of the offi
cers and in the County Judge’s office
awaiting his preliminary trial, R. H.
Ridgely, a brother-in-law of Dr. Peck
over, rushed into the room, drew a
pistol, fired and killed Donnally in
stantly. Ridgely is now in custody.
Peckover, wnen shot, said to someone
near by, “Donally has shot me.”
At the shooting of Donnally there
were but three persons in the Judge’s
office—the Judge himself and the two
officers before named. The crowd had
gone out and were standing around in
the yard. Donnally was shot in the
left side of the upper part of the abdo
men, four inches from the navel. When
shot he fell over out of the chair he
was sittiug in, exclaimed, “ Oh, God ! ”
and died.
Both of the victims were men highly
respected, and both were Masons,
Peckover being a Knight Templar of
high rank. The tragedy has cast a
gloom over the city, and is greatly to
be regretted, as this city has for many
years enjoyed the name of being one
of the most orderly and quiet towns in
Kentucky.
Ridgely is iu jail, and will probably
have his examination to-morrow morn
ing.
Dr. Peckover has a young daughter
visiting at the residence of J. M. Black
burn, late of Covington, now living near
Florence, Ky. Word was sent her of
the sad fate of tier father this evening.

England’s Overflowing Coft'ers.
[London Times.]
The United States has been pouring
iu its precious metal until we have got
over 3}4 millions more of it this year
than for the first six months of last,
and this, although the balance of trade
in other commodities is from one to
two millions more against us there now
than then—hence, also, the fact that
there has been no corresponding drain
for other countries. Many nations have
sent us less than they are wont to do,
but on the other hand many have
wanted less. The gold that has come
here has therefore mostly lain here;
and we have had full coffers when
commercial bubbles begin to burst at
home.
As we hinted the other day, this is
not a state of affairs likely to last. Not
only are rates for money beginning to
rise on the continent, but they are
falling here below a point at which it
can be to anybody’s profit to send us
gold. It is not likely that other peo
ple’s trade may be reviving, as ours
begins to recede. And this makes the
situation of our money market less
satisfactory than it superficially seems
to be. We are just apparently en
tering upon that period o'f depressed
trade and cautious contraction of
business from which other countries
have suffered so long. Thanks to the
freedom, and, we may say, looseness
with which the vast credits at the com
mand of our banking institutions have
been dispensed to all and sundry, we
passed apparently without scathe
through the time when other countries
were in distress. Money never got so
dear as to destroy the fragile structure
on which our security rested, and it
was supposed that we got off scot-free.
Such a notion cau no longer be enter
tained; and the numerous failures we
have had must indubitably usher in a
period of dull trade were it for no other
reason than tjjat they compel banks to
stop indiscriminate lending.
Mr. Beecher’s Substitute Described
by Ex-Brother Joe Howard.— -The
Rev. Mr. Julian, of New Bedford,
preached yesterday to large congrega
tions in Plymouth Church. Mr. Julian’s
manner in prayer is not felicitious. He
stands on one leg and wriggles the
other. He feels of ids moustache, leans
on his elbow and coddles his whisker,
none of which please the people, how
ever it may please the august person
age he is supposed to address. Doubt
less the “Lord is nigh to all who come
to Him in truth,” but ho prefers to
have them stand on both feet and pay
attention to what’s going on. Imagine
Mr. Julian in the presence of Queen
Victoria, Sammy Tlluen, or even New
Bedford’s Mayor on a public occasion,
leaning on his elbow, playing with his
chin and delivering a public petition !
