TRIAL OF THE CONVENT RIOTERS.

The Chief Justice concluded learned and
charge to the Jury, i'm the case OF buz
nell at half paste O'Clock yesterday, wneh the
iury retired motion was made oy MI far-
lev, counsel Of the prisoners, that the puoilca-
t;on i'm the daily newspapers OF statements re-
lating to the trials fthe accused, should be sup
pressed. II was this morning decided by the
Court that as the evidence relative to the most
important points in all the cases had alreaoy
been reported in some form or other, the Court
did not think it their duty to interpose any RUE
that should prevent the continuance OF tue
ports. The reporters however, remarked Ine
Chief Justice, must be careful 10 observe SUN,

alfcommen,s upon the proceedings OF Inc Court.
Al IC)o'clock the Jury returned into Court with
q verdict of NOT GUILTY. Upon which dec
larat,on loud burst Of applause escaped from
the audience and the house for lew minutes re-
sounded with the stampings OF the assembly,
Some of the officers sprang without the bar ana
arrested one John Flanders, and another person
named Joseph NJ. Ford who stood at the time
near the bench-both of whom were brought to
the bar and called upon their oaths TO answer ter
the offence The first named stated that he was
not aware of having committed any improperly,
and did not know the regulations Of the Court
in this respect Ford when called to answer
stated thathe was neverin Court before when
q verdict was declared, and seeing others
doing the same that was done by himself,
thought it proper. The Court under these con-
sideratons. and it being the first offence OF the
kind, ordered them to be discharged Al the
same time Chief Justice Shaw remarked tnat
any expression Of applause or disapprobation
made by any person present, on tile deciaratloh
OF a verdict hereafter, would cause such mea-
sures to be taken against the offenders as the
law provided. The prisoner (BuzzelD was then
discharged, and left the Court Room The At
torney General then renewed his motion to nave
the remaining cases continued till the next term
and urged as reason the recent expression of
public feeling on the subject. This was over

CHAPLAINS TO CONGRESS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
The office of Chaplain to Congress was insti-
tuted for wise purpose, and with the best inten-
tons. Like many other Of the original institu-
tons of our country, it is now so perverted and
abused, that am almost ready to wish it a6o-
Hshed. think it right that the public, and es-
pecially the Christian public, should know, that
ever since the commencement Of the present
session Of Congress- set of men, protesting to
be Ministers Of the Gospel have been hanging
about the Capitol and the Boarding Houses,
electioneering for the high privileges of-whata
Addressing the Most High? No!-But for the
sordid motive of pocketting four or FIVE hum
dred dollars. And not only electioneering, but
fawning. cringing, and playing the sycophant-
counting favor, and smoothing down opposition;
insomuch, that several members Of Congress
have told me that they became completely dis
gusted. I own cannot conceal my disgust at
such conduct not only because l think it dero-
gatory to the character of a Minister, but be-
cause it is calculated to bring Religion itselfin-
to disrepute and bad odor. What can be more
Notifying to truly pious and devout man,
than to see, not only his Brother, but his Pas
tor, "crooking the plant hinges of the knee,

dence can the world have in the professions Of
those who, by their conduct show that filthy lu-
ere is the god of their. idolatry, and that they
will scruple at no means to accomplish their
ends2 !
The Clergy in this country as every where
else, are the persons who bring so much scan
dial upon Religion and the Church. Their love
of power, and their love of money, have almost
become proverbial. In the present case, howe

driven from his own country for political causes,
came to America, and took up his residence in
wilmington, Delaware, about the year 1895 -
He resided here about six years, and is well
remembered by many of our citizens, for his
eccentricities, his benevolence and his inpos-.

Amiens occurred, he returned to Europe and
received the pardon of the King. He has since
resided in Ireland: and until within few years,
has kept up regular correspondence and in

From the albany Argus
THE DYING MOTHER.

n is a solemn task, to wait BESIDE
The couch of the departing, to kneel down,
And wipe the death-damps from the cold, white
brow
OF those we love; to moisten the dry lips,
And grasp the hand, too feeble to return
The slightest pressure, and 10 see the lid
Grow fixed and motionless above, the eye,
In utter helplessness to sit, and mark
Each Iessening pulse throb faint and fainter still
And know and fell that man can do no more.
Yet even here the voice Of joy sometimes
Is heard above the wailings Of distress.
There have been those who have triumphed,
when they died:
A form unseen stood by, and whispered words
The living may not hear, and served the soul,
OF feeble woman. patiently to bear
Natures last throe ofmortal agony,
And there ,oas one-a wife, mother, friend,
Who taught while dying, more exalted truths
Than thonsan nd homilies could over preach.
q. might her fatering tongue have uttered speech,
Methinks her voice had breathed strain like this,
Why should you bid me stay7
When day is coming, and you think to keep
The traveller from his home-to pine and
weep
And long 20 be away?
And when the soul doth spring
To seek its better home. y, could we bind
With earthly letters the expanding mind,
And check its soaring wing!
cannot close my eyes,
And drag my ardent aspirations down
From the bright hope and everlasting crown
That waits me in the skies;
Not for an earthly love,
Can the purer love of Heaven forego,
Nor give up for the Church of God below,
His holier church above.
To die!-Mis is not hard
1t is not too hard to leave world like this,
And soar away unto the world of bliss,
And meet the great award!
But it is hard to strive
With earihS allurements- to subdue the soul
To keep the heart, and the whole life control
OIL is hard to I've!
And yet, if it were given
To train these little nurslings of my care,
To mould their thoughts, to teach them words
Of prayer,
And to lead them up to heaven
could awhile remain,
And guide them further on Their doubtful way
Shape straight their path, or if their feet should
stray,
Lead back the lost again.
But there's better guide,
Who will not fail them when my eyes grow dim
And can safely trust them all with him,
He who himself was tried!
How sweet is my release;
Nv Saviour robbed the grave Of its alarm,
And leaning on his everlasting arm,
I can depart in peace.
A willow droops over simple mound
The wife, the mother. rests in hope below,
Waiting the resurrection OF the just.
