The night creeps uearily. ] Ii. my lamp
To hide the brightness of that mcsning star
That m ,cks me With sieeptessnsss like mine-
Coldly and giitteringly apart And aloAe
How unlike life it is-this sickness waking
conscious Of life's enfeebled link no more,
Thp soul feels deaf re eased and, as tho star
axes not the colors Of earths siumberiDg flowers,
Nor YARNS the darkness Of the mountain brow
From which so pathiessiy il soars away,
So with strange lift, uDusturally bright,
The sick man thought soars truck essly and far:--
The pale cheek on the pillow, and the pulse
of the sad silent heart, made deathlier only
BY thoughts la which their fsintness has no share

way which the committee probably would
not care to take, iy which the accuracy OF
the statements could be verified, and that is
BY summoning MIR. Collins to give in his tes-
timony. He sscould tale unfold which
would throw more light on this subject OF
Congressional corruption than dozen edi-
tors could do from information received
through indirect sources.
sIf the members of Congress wish to con
vince the public that tho reports to the dis.
credit of members of that body are unbound
ed, let them insist that the investigation
which is now going on shall be made thorough
and conclusive. Let them summons Messrs.
Collins and Vanderbilt, and other mail con.
tractors. Let them call upon the Presidents
of some Of the Western railroads which have
had large grants. Let them procure testi-
mony under oath from tho propretors OF the
Woodwork patent and from the agents OF
Col. Colt. Let them investigate the nodus
opcrandi by which many outrageous schemes
upon the ple,horic pocket Of Uncle Sam have
been successfully " engineered" through
Congress, and we venture the assertion tina,
the investigation will end in something more
than smoke"

rEsr oArHs TO BIZ nspHALKD.


A bill has passed the council repeating the
test oaths imposed by law, at the last scs-
sion.
that they would vote for repeal through pol
icy--othcrwise State Constitution recog-
MIXING slavery could not get through Con-
gross. The vote was unanimous in the same
body that enacted them unanimously last
year. The members OF the council state
that it was no concession to the free-soilers
OF the territory, to whom they declared end
less hostility.
The repeal of these test oaths, although q
just measure, is too late to be OF value to
the people of the territory. All OF the
counties will be organised, and county OIL
GERS appointed by this body before 1t goes
into force, and these hold Offices for several
years, and until Kansas will be state.
SUCCESSOR OF SHERIFF JONES.
Mr.. Shanard, who was appointed to hll the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF Jones,
by the county court OF Douglass county
itself appointed by the Legislature--has
been acting a. sheriff although not commits
stoned by the Governor, Gov. Geary having
refused to commission him. This has been
considered by the pro-slavery men ~ an A.
tack on their authority. Abill has been IN
troduced to the House, and having passed to
the third reading went into the hands OF the
committee on judiciary. 1t legalised the
past acts Of the sheriff, and authorised him
to act in such capacity independents OF gu
bernatorial commission. At this stage, on
notice, n committee was appointed to wait on
Gov. Geary and demand his reasons for not
commissioning Shanard.
The Governor sent special message re-
plying that the citizens Of Lecompton and
Of the county OF Douglass had sent him
memorial protesting against the appointment
to him and that besides these reasons, the
appointee was man Of violent passions and
character, an incorporate man, and would
only raise mobs and disturbances. His in
structions from the General Government
were to commission none such.
This message was received in silence By
the House, it Immediately adjourning.
1t had been supposed that the Governor
would take the position that the people
should elect their officers, and that the APP
pointment was therefore invalid. The Gov
ernor's position does not strike at their au-
thority altogether but there is much discus
sion by the members in private and deter
minntion to have their officers altogether free
from check or commission by federal az
pointees, or even the government ITSELF
Some act to accomplish this will likely BE-
passed.

Printing Offices wanted.

The Republicans of Poweshek county are
anxious for the establishment of paper TO
advocate their sentiments. Any printer de-
slrous OF locating there, will be assisted in
the enterprise, If not entirely furnished with
an establishment on terms within his mower
to pay. Address John Cassidy 4 Son, Mon
tczama, Poweshiek county, Iowa.
The people of St. Franclsv!lc are also de-
srous OF having newspaper established in
their midst. The politics not so much a
matter OF interest with them. a neutral or
independent paper would perhaps be most
acceptable. They will also give considera-
Die assistance. Address w. ii. Ciyer, or the
Postmaster, st. Francisyi!le, No.

The statement Of the Gate in relation
to the Horace Greeley bride is simply false
wiiluliy so. The original receipt Of sold
drao" for the money is within very short
distance of the daily walk Of tho Gate GIN.
- Times.
We have seen the affidavit OF Greeley to
the same eilec. with the statement of the mat .
ter made by us, and have no doub. Of it's
truth. Ills receipt is not at NIL inconsistent
with that statement, but confirms Il for in
CAGES of bribery parties s'coyer IN their
tracks, and leave no receipts for public in

suppose that the Des Moincs River Company
could have purchased Greeley for one thou

ONO AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI St.
Louis Inte'iigencer Of Friday, says that
crowds of people are waiting on the Levee,
in hourly expectation of the breaking Up Of
the ice, and that number Of boats at the
wharf had up steam ready to back out AS
soon as the ice begins to move. And the
Cincinnati Commercial says that it had been
raining for twenty-four hours, and that the
river had risen some eighteen inches. There
was general rise in all the small tributa-
ries of the Ohio, and boatmen were busy
on every hand preparing to avail themselves
OF the speedy opening of navigation.
We presume that the Ohio, and the Mis-
sissippi below st. Louis, are free from ice
and that the rivers are crowded with boats
before this time.
