The DEED CoNsUMMATED.-It will be
seen by reference to our letters from Wash
ington, that the Delegation from New Jer-
sey, having their certificates of election in
their pockets, have been refused their seats
on the floor Of Congress, by vote Of l l6 to
liz. Thus has 9 sovereign State been dis
franchised, because she did not choose men
to represent her in the National councils,
who would rejoice to do the bidding of a
corrupt party who are held together only
"by the cohesive power of public plumber"
If they have power to vote men out who
hold certificates Of election, we know not
why they have not the power 70 vote others
in who hold no certificates or evidence of
election.

01rWhy Is that such frequent and exscn-
sive sales Of the publici domnin. have been
held in every part Of the country for the last
four Of five monthsi Is i not plain that It
is to replenish the Golfers Of the Government,
which have been drained almost TO the bot
tom BY the thieves to whose custody the pub
lie funds were entrusted, and to enable the
Secretary of the Treasury to make as fair a
showing as possible in hisreport of the fiscal
affairs of the country. Returns from the
Surveyors are scarcely received before the
lands are put up at auction. But in spite of
these forced sales TO keep up Appearances
of M abundant Treasury, the people cannot
long remain in ignorance of the fact that the
Federal Government is bankrupt-some
branches oft, we apprehend, almos. ire
trievably SO, for long time to come. There
can be no doubt that after al; their extraor-
binary efforts to save the credit Of the Ad-
minstra,ion, there will be an absolute neces-
sity to issue new, and large batch Of Trea-
sury notes to prepare the Government to
meet the heavy demands which have accu-
INFLATED against it. The Treasury indeed
must be greatly strained, for we see by an
official circular, that the payment ofthe pen
sions due revolutionary soldiers, has been
postponed for length Of time. Who can
doubt the insolvency of the Government,
when the veterans who achieved her lIber-
ties with their hearts blood, cannot receive
their Insignificant pittance of few dollars
annually-and that too, at period OF life,
when the decrepitude Of age has paralyzed
their once iron arms that strove boldly in the
fierce combat, till they are inadequate to a
comfortable support. Thus have we requi-
ted those who bequeathed to US the inesti-
mable treasure Of free institutions-civil and
religious liberty, and can we expect the
blessings of Heaven upon US as people,
while these our benefactors are left to pine
and die in penury and want; and the tools
of Executive favor and patronage are made
to rejoice with the fairness Of the land?

The following dialogue actually occurred

Wing. Well friend, have you heard who
was nominated by the Wings az their can
didate for Presidenti
Loco. Well, | hai'nt; butt reckon it's
that old Federaliss, Clay.
W. You're mistaken. Guess again.
L. cant think IS any one else.
W. I'll tell you, then-they have actu-
ally nominated Harrison.
e. They have! I'm glad Of it; for / have
always thought great deal Of "Uncle
Natty," and though | hive hitherto voted for
the democratic candidates, I'd give him q
horst for President, before any man know
Of in the country.

CoNsIsTENCY.-The Loco Foco Govern
or cfthc Loco Foco State Of Alabama, rec
ommends in his message the issuance Of
post notes, or the notes of suspended Banks,
to supply the people with currency.
Gov. Bagby is following sin the foot steps
of the illustrious' McNutt, who in 1888 re-
commended the Banks of this State to make
a similar issue. Read the language Of the
father of shinplasters in Mississippi, when
urging his fayorite measures-
HDuring the next summer and fall, The
banks BY ISSUING POST NOTES pay
able at the MATURITY OF THE CROP
Of 1889, would be enabled to withdraw their
circulation payable on demand, and SUB
STITUTE NOTES PAYABLE AT A
FUTURE DAY bearing interest. These
would pass MORE CURRENTLY than
the present irredcemable currency. am
fully aware that the great objection on the
part Of the bank to such issues, is, that they
CURTAIL THEIR PROFITS. This ar
gument, however, should not have much
force, their improvident management has
mainly contributed to the present disorgani-
zed state ofour currency, and they should
cheerfully contribute their aid in giving to
people, at the earliest possible period, a
SOUND CURRENCY."-M cNntt's Mes
sage. 1888.
We have no doubt that if Alabs ma adopts
the suggestion Of Gov. Bagby, that State
/ will SOON realize as sssound currency" a.
Mississippi did by following the advice o
McNutt.

NIGHT MUSIC.
by MRS. HARRINGTON.

BY MRS. HARRINGTON.
How music becomes the summer night,
When the stars are shining above,
And the lady moon is gentle and bright,
Filling the sky with that tender light
That aeems,to be made of love.
And then if a'soug from the still boat streams,
Or note from the forest tree,
We listen, and think of our infant dreams,
And wonder if that which 50 magical seemsy
Can the witchcraft OF roonshine' be.
The nightingale's then like wandering soul,
From happier planet driven;
And The fsherman's song, like spirits dole,
Or requiem hoiiow'd by angels who toll
The silver bells Of heaven.
Oh music becomes the summer night,
When the stars are shining above,
And the lady moen'is gentle and bright,
Filling the sky with that tender light
That seems 10 be made Of love.
