NOW AND THEN


Tbs New Y ork Express has soma remarks upon the
meeting OF Congress- and contrasts the growth of the
country now with whatit was when thsfirst Congress
assembled in Washington on the 4h ofNMareh 1889
The thirteen States of that day reverse the figures
now, and Tor thirteen we have thirty one The popu-
laon OF the country then was four i've miliions--
It is twenty four or five millions now. On the first
day OF The first OF The first Congress, in the
United States Senate, but eight members were pre-
sent-two from New Hampshire. John Langdon and
Payne Wingae; from Massachusetts, Caleb strong:
from Connecticut, VIM. S. Joonsion and Oliver Els,

1.-The country since then has grown with coIlss II
strides. By treaty and conquest it has obtained M
more than its original territory. The Eastern sad

The population CT the country has quntupled and the

population by millions. aud members of Congress in

RESIGNATION.

BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.
lhefe Is no flock, however watched and tented.
- But one dead lamb is there!
There ID no lreside, howsoe r defended, n
but mas one vacant chair
The air is full of farewells to the dying,
And mournings for the dead
l ne ne, heart OF Rachael for her children crying
VIII not be cemlorted
Let US be patient! these severe Affections
Not from the ground arise,
But eiteutimes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise.
We see but dimly through the msts and yacor..
Amid these earthly damps
what seems TO Us but dim, funeral tapers
May be heavens distant lamps.
There is no Deathi what seems SO is transition:
This life Of Mortal breath
Is out suburb OF the life ell sian
Whose portal we call Death.
She not dead-the child of our affection
But gone into that school,
Wnefe she no longer,needs our poor protection,
And Christ himself doth rule.
In that great cloister's stiffness and seclusiou
- by guardian angels led,
sale from temptation, cafe from sins pollution
Hhc lives whom we call dead.
Day after day think what she is doing
- In those bright realms OF air;
Ye'r alter year, her tender steps pursuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Ihos do we walk with her, and keen unbroken
-, ne bond which nature gives,
thinking that our remembrance, though unapo-
ken,
May reach here where she lives.
No. as child shall we again behold her;
For when with raptutes wild
In eur embraces we again enfield her.
She will not be child;
But a fair maiden, in her fathers mansion.
Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with al the SOULS exnansion
Shall we behold her face.
And though at times, impetuons with emotion
And anguish long suppressed
The swelling heart heaves moaning like the ocean
That cannot be at rest.
We will be patent and assuage the feeling
We cannot wholly stay
by silence ssactiiying, not conce ding
The grief that must have way

SENATOR. DOUGLAS

We find in the Union corrected version of the re-
marks OF Senator Douglas at the dinner of the Jack
son Democratic Association on the Sh January-
There two or three points in those remarks which
some persons think might have been improved by ad-
ditional corrections" The Senator is evidently a
gentleman OF large Ideas. He imagnes that our Re-
public grow with safety until il shall include the
continent and the islands on this side of the main
channel of the two great seas. We shall not under-
take 10 discuss this point with the Senator Our ca
Fatalities nt safe expansion are doubt toeraby
large; and Is hardly worth while an abstract
question in this regard When the discussion be-
GENES practical, 1t will be time enough to consider 1t:
meanwhile, ii the "Democracy'' choose to iibuster
on "a deg 40 min, they viii be enough TO sub
side on AZ deg. without Wing Intervention.
There was one fiiibustelng item, however in the
Senator's remarks, which calls for observation A
Senator should exhibit sensitive regard for his vera
Multitude. if not verify. What does Senator Douglas
mean when he says that the present Administration
have given free passaeeto all men, ammunition, and
supplies, which may be sent in aid OF the royaIist
cause,' while they have employed "the American
army and navy to arrest this volunteers and seize The
provisions ammunition. and supplies of every kind
which may be sent ia aid OF the patriot cause 20 Will
the honorable Senator correct this version of his
remarks VIII ne Vindcst his veracity by pointing
out when or where the present Administration have
permitted violation of our neutrality laws for the
benefit of any ''royalist cause %
But again, the honorable Senator assais the PresI
dent for his proclamation In advance Of the Cuban
expedition. We should be pleased to learn if the
honorable Senator eonternplates the addition to our
Republic OF the 'ssland the side of the main chan
mel OF the TWO great seas by the agencyof expeditions
fitted out Ia violation OF our owG statutes and the
laws of nations We should be pleased to learn if
he considers any vague intention of waging war in
what one 'belieues the cause of liberty" lustifca-

which their own is at peacet Did not he know. at

The Petersburg Democrat urges the Legis a.
ture to 90 into the election oe U. S. Senator at
an early day, before it becomes overwhelmed with
a multitude of interests, each clamoring for at.
tention. The Democrat also urges the reelection
of Mr. Hunter, and seems to regard it as certain
that he will be reelected, because it says the
Wings have not the power and the Democrats
have not the desire to remove him. There can
be no question as to the fact that the Wings have
not the power to remove Dir. Hunter, and We sup
pose the Democrat expresses the sentiments Gifts

desire to remove him.
