Mr. BROOKS. I did not intend to say a word upon this subject and I should not have done so but for the remarks of the honorable Gentfrom Ohio. What a eulogyhe has ronounced upon a great hero of this war! Vhen the name of Grant shall have faded away; when the magnificent victories of Sherman, from the mountains of Tennessee throughout all Georgia, North, and SCarolina, and VirginiafI shall have been forgotten; when the name of Thomas shall have sunk into oblivion; when even Lincoln shall have been buried with Julius and Augustus Caesar, there will arise one remarkable man, high on the horizon on Orion among the Pleiades; and that is Clark, the printer of the public money! [Great laughter.] Sir, therecord of the past is made up between uic and the honorable Gentfrom Ohio, and I have not one word to take back or to reiterate now. There is the record. It is imprinted upon the public documents of the country, and it will O down, if such things are worthy of being gat ered up in the servers of the future, to a long posterity. All I have to say is, that not one paperwas produced by me then, not one original comment, not one damning iota of the record, that did not come from thelrcasury Dept itself, vouched forand verified by the o cers of or under the SecyTreasury himself, The remarks of the gentleman have alone prompted me to say what I have to say upon this occasion in vindication of the report that I have made. What is immorc tality? s it service in this House? vTomorrow we are not here, and are soon to be forgotten. What is immortality? It is in these statues that now and hereafter may surround this Ca itol, in these portraits that are hereafter to db honor to those men who have done honorto their country; it is in these emblazonments upon the public money, these engravings which not only enter every mans pocket, but every mans bosom, and every womans, too. [Laughter] and it is upon this immortal record that the name and ame and picture of this man Clark is being sent through this great country to the utter destruction of the name of George Washington, whose portrait has been taken off that recogd, and that of Clark substituted in its stea. Sir, the honorable Gentfrom Pennsylvania [Mr. THAYER] is right. No man should be immortalized upon the public money of the country until the verdict of posterity has been pronounced upon his name, and it can go down upon that record sanctioned by the voices of men of all parties, of all politics, and of all religions. Sir, the SecyTreasury has not done right in this matter. It was within his power to control it, and he ought to have controlled it. But in the present disruption of affairs in the Treasury machinery, running, as it is now, in conflict and in different ways, it is not ueinatnral that this thing should have hap pene. [Here the hammer fell.]
