WHY THE LEGIsLATURE ADJ
JOURNED.

The late Republican legislature had
evinced such a tenacious disposition to
remain in continuous session until their
Democratic successors were elected and
qualified, that it was a matter of sur
prise to many that they suddenly and
mysteriously, about the middle of April
last, com to the determination to re-
peal the laws Furnishing embezzlement
Of the public moneys, and then adjourn
and go home.
A solution of this matter, which ap.
peared to us more satisfactory than any
thing we have seen or heard, was given
by 7. j. KENNY, Esq, in his speech be-
fore che Convention held here last week.
Mr.. K. stated that the Republican
Legislature we're undoubtedly posted as
TO the exact condition of the Treasury,
and they eat short their time SO as to
have il meet the last dollar in the vaultsl
The sequel showed, said Mr.. K, that
they we're more expert in financial esti-
mates, than they generally had credit
for. He was for giving the colored gen
tlemen their duo, as he had always Civ,
en- their father his due. Their estimatt
was q close and accurate one.

The candidate for Governor.

A week or two since we expressed the
belief that Hon. Rufus P. Ranney, if
nominated, would be one of the ablest
and most popular candidates that could
be brought into the field for Governor.
We believe hat he possesses those quail
fcations of integrity and ability, which
arc SO essential to the character of the
chief magistrate of Ohio, and further
than this, that he enjoys in an eminent
degree, the confidence of the people
He is we'll known, and he has been
thoroughly tried.-Portage Sentinel

Riots-The Fourth.

New York, July s.
Several riots occurred in this city yes
terday, which originated in the Bowery.
The fight continued with great fcrocity
for an hour. Clubs, stones, bottles, and
firearms were freely used. The Five
Pointers we're gradually driven. Eight
persons were killed in this riot, and about
80, including several policemen, wound
ed. AT one period the rioters had streets
barricaded, defying the policemen.
There were upwards of 100 present,
8 regiments of State troops ordered out
and kept in reserve, but their services
were not required, as the riot was final
ly suppressed by the exertions of the po-
lice. I'm minor riots, which occurred du-
ring the day, 2 persons were killed, 20
or so badly wounded. In nearly all the
disturbances the ex-policemen were con-
spicuous actors, with the exception of
those among rowdies-
The day passed off finely. The wealth
er was propitious. The military and
civil displays brilliant and imposing, and
the fire works at Brooklyn, Williams
burg and other suburbs of the most
gorg go US description. The pyrotechuic
display of the city proper postponed on
account of partial damage to pieces
cused by the damp weather of the week.

between four and five o'clock yesterday
afternoon, accompanied by terrific thuu-
der. Hail stones fell as large as hens
eggs. All the windows on the wind

The one coming north was thrown
from the track and three persons were
slightly injured.
RICHMOND, Va, July 2.-The hail
storn of last night was very destructive

Not thine. not thine. is the glitterng crest
And the glance OF the snOw-White plume
Nor the badge that CLEANS from the warriors breas
Like star mid the battles gloom,
Nor is thyplace mid thy country's host,
Where the war steed champs the rein
Where waving pumes are like sea foam tost,
And the turf wears CORY stain.
Not these not hese' are thy glorious DOVER.
But holier gift is thine,
When the proud have fallen in triumphs hour
And the red blood flowed like wine,
To wipe the dew from the clanlmy brow
To raise the dropping head
To cool the parched lips tevered glow
And to smooth down the l0wly bed
Not thine not thine. is the towering height,
Where Ambition makes his throne
The timid dove wings not her flight
Where the eagle Scars alone:
But in the hall, and in the bower,
And by the humblest hearth,
Man feels the charm, and owns the power
That binds him still to earth
Yes, these are thine and who can say
His is a brighter doom,
Who wins Fame's CORY wreath of bay,
Round an aching brow to bloom?
Oh! to watch deaths liyid hues depart
To soothe every pang of wO-
And to whisper hope, to the fainting heart
Is the proudest NEED below.

By ST. LEGER L. CARTER, OF VIRGINIA.
I've often thought if were asked
Whose lot envied most
What one, thought, most lightly taskad
OF mans unnumbered host
I'd say, I'd be mountain boy.
And drive noble team, Wo, hoy.
Wo, hoy: I'd cry,
And lightly fly
Into my saddle seat
My rein I'd slack
Ny whip I'd crack
What music is 50 sweet?
Six blacks Id drive, of ample chest,
All carrying high the head
All harness'd tight, and gaiy drest,
in winkers tipp1 with red
Oh, yes, Id be a mountain hoy,
And such team I'd drive, No. hoy!
Wo, hoy. Id cry,
The lint should fly
Wo, hoy! YOU Dobbin Ball
Their feet Should ring
And would sing
Id sing my tal De rol.
My bells would Jingle. tingle ling,
Beneath each bcarskin cap:
And as | saw them swing and swing,
I'd be the merrest chap
Yes, then Id be mountain boy.
Anu uilEe Jh9ing team, N0, hOy!
Wo, hoy. Id cry
My words should fly,
Each horse would prick his ear:
With tighten'd chain
My numbering vain
Would move in its career.
The golden sparks. you'd see them spring
Beneath my horse tread;
Each tail, Id braid it up with string
Of blue, Or Haunting red
So does, you know, the mountain boy
Who drives q dashing team, Wo, hoy!
Wo, hoy. Id cry
Each horses eye
With fire would seem to burn:
With lifted head
And nostril spread
They'd seem the earth to spurn.
They'd champ the bit, and fling the foam,
As on they dragged my load
And l would think of distant home,
And whistle upon the road
Oh, would I We're n mountain boy
Id drive a six-horse team, We, hoy!
Wo, hoy Id cry
Now by yon sky,
d sooner drive those steeds
Than win renown
Or wear crown
Won by victorious deeds
For crowns oft press the languid head,
And health the wearcr shu3s,
And Victory trampling on the dead
May do for roth, and Huns
Seek them who will, they have no Joys
For mountain lads, and wagon boys.
