can never recover. Indeed, from what he
says, we are led 10 believe that the hopes
which are entertained Of Mr.. Sumner ever
resuning his seat in the Senate are unjasti-
fed. His nervous system and brain must
have received shock which will forever dis
able him from intellectual exertion.
GTThe relations Of one Of the editors Of
this paper, now d Iowa City, cause q little
squirming among some Of the political buck

the Times by petty falsehoods and low flung
blackguardisms, which, however, do him
little damage, and 70 but small way to-

The stock market in New York during last week
was dull until the close of the week, when very
large sales of all the leading stocks were made
generally at better prices. Milwaukee and Mis-
sissippi Railroad advanced 1-2, and Chicago and
Rock Island /, and all the Western Railroad
Stocks closed firm at quotations.
The steamer Washington, with three days later
news, arrived in New York on yesterday Con-
soils quoted firm at 90 3.S. Unless the mails dis
close more unfavorable state of things in Eu-
rope, stocks will no doubt further improve during
the coming week.
The money market continues active, but the
supply is equal to the demand, the ruling rates
being Z per cent. on call
Land Warrants have been in active demand since
our last report, and are firm at the above quota
tions. The supply is very great, but not greater
than the demand. One dealer purchased nearly
sixty thousand acres last week, and readily sold
at one cent per acre advance on buying rates.
On Friday and Saturday 81 05, for $l20's 81 90,

CAPTAIN BIRcH--Much fault has been found
with the conduct of this officer, in admitting
Washington Naylor to bail. He replies to the COM
plants against him in the following note, which we
copy from the IntelIigencer Of this morning
WASHINGTON, April IA, 1866.
Editors of the Istelligencer
An article having appeared in one of our city
papers of the 1lth instant rejecting upon me for
taking the bail did for Naylor, will here state
the facts as they occurred On the morning of the
18th instant, about o'clock, light was discov-
cred in the shoe store OF Mr.. Forrest by Messrs.
Mockabee and Elliott, members of the Auxiliary
Guard When Mr.. Forrest came down Mr.. Hof.
fer's door was open and Mr.. Naylor was lying di-
rectly across the doorway, apparently very much
intoxicated. He was brought to the guard-house.
then sent for Mr. >Hammack, who testified upon
oath that Naylor was at his house after eleven
o'clock very much intoxicated, and that he wanted
more liquor, and he refused to let him have it, and
requested the two persons who were with him to
take him home, which they agreed to do, but be-
fore they started they took one more drink. In
less than two hours after this Naylor found in
the house of DR.. Hoffer, above stated. From the
evidence of Mr.. Hammack / was inclined to be-
lieve that the two persons had taken Naylor into
the house with them, and as they had to make a
hasty retreat could not take him of, he being too
drunk.
held NayIor to bail, believing could not find
any thing against him, but that might find out
something about the two other persons. Young
Demaine, who saw the persons, did not see Nay
lor with the others, and supposed Mr.. Demaine
to Be evidencefor the United States, sOlich a
terDards proved to the contrary. There was no
evidence, considering his condition, to convict
Naylor; and as far as the examination has gone
no person in their testimony has mentioned Nay
lor's name. Soon after Naylor left issued war
rants for the other persons, and gave them to
James w. Allen and VIM. Mockabee, who, upon
arriving at Rays house, about six o'clock, found
Naylor there. They returned, bringing Ray and
Crogan with them, and informed me of the fact,
which created some suspicion in relation to Nay
lor, and caused me to issue search warrant for
Rays house; and had Naylor kept from Rays
house it is doubtful if ! should have taken that
course. And If the goods had not been found
there was no evidence to hold either of the Others
but the finding of the goods was the only evidence
4 also had Naylor's house searched, and there was
nothing found and no evidence that any thing had

suffraxe in the District.

correspondent of the New York Herald, wri.
ting from this city under date Of the 9th instant
predicts that the Suffrage Bill reported by Mr.
Meacham will pass the House. and In shape even
more Objectionable than that In which il was first
presented.
Wedo not know what alterations are to be made in
the bill to render 1t more Objectionable than II was
at first--nor can we well conceive how 1t can be
rendered more Objectionable. But it behooves our
citizens to be on their guard and arrest ifpossible
any infamous project that may be in course of con-
coction, to deliver up the city of Washington to
the horde of foreigners, who already stand like
hungry wolves, swapping their lean jaws over their
anticipated prey.
The people of Washington do not desire any
legislation on the subject of suffrage They are
content with the law as it now stands. Why then
should the Committee on the District Of Columbia
interfere in the matter at all? Our elections have
uniformly been conducted with order and propriety
There was never held in this or any other country
a more quiet election than the last municipal cleo
ton in this city, If this bill passes the result, we
fear, will be anything but favorable to the peace
and morals of the city of Washington. An igno-.
rant and semi barbarous force of transient foreign
ers will be thrust into the midst of our native pop
ulation by the tools of the administration and
after being maddened by cheap whiskey furnished
gratuitously by government officers or their agents,
driven to the polls to counteract the votes of old
residents who have summered and wintered in
the city for life time. If, under such circum-
stances, riots should occur, whom ought the
blame to fall Manifestly on those who unnecessa-
rily create difficulty and dissenson, where previ-
ously all was peace and quietness

The LittIe Cofin.

She sleeps in her little coffin,
She rests by the moaning wave,
And only the star and zeohyr
Keep watch by her little grave;
The violet blooms Ger her pillow,
And breathes its perfume there,
And a wreath of white yerbena
Encircles her golden hair.
Fair as the fairest flower,
Frail as the lute's soft string,
Forth from affections bower,
Borne on an angels wing,
Glided her spirit lightly,
Lovely, and merry, and fair,
With the red on her lip vet brightly,
And the glow on her golden hair.
Earth twineth her grave with myrtle,
And gemmeth with pearly dew
Each spray Of that shining kirtle,
And bloom Of the violet blue.
Yet she waketh her not from her sleeping,
Enfolding her gently there,
And tendsrly earth is keeping
Those tresses of golden hair.
Silent each heeting hour,
In her deserted home,
Faded the cherished flower, ...
flushed every loving tone;
But she sleeps in her little coffin,
She rests by the moaning wave,
