No Night in Heaven.
"AsD THERE SHALL BE NO NIGHT ."-Rrv. %,


No night shall be in heaven-no gathering gloom
Shall o'er that glorious landscape ever come.
No tears shall fall In sadness O'er those flowers
breathe their fragrance through celestial bowers
No night shall be In heaveD-no dreadful hour
or mental darkness, or the tempter's power;
Across those skies no envious clouds shall roli'
To dim the sunlight of the enraPtured SOUL
No night shall be in heaven. Forbid to sleep,
These ewes no more their mournful Vigils keep'
Tbeir fountains dried-their tears all wiped away;
They gaze, unda zzled, on eternal day.
No night shall be In heaven-no sorrows reign
No secret anguish-no corporeal pain
No shiyering limbs-no burning fever there
No souls ecIipse-no winter Of despair.
No night shall be in heaven-but endless noon;
No fast declining sun nor waning moon;
But there the Lamb shall yield perpetual light,
mid pastures green and waters ever bright
No night shall be in heaven-no darkened room'
No bed of death nor silence Of the tomb;
But breezes ever fresh with love and truth,
Shall brace the frame with an immortal youth.
No night shall be in heaven-but night Is here
The night of sorrow and the night OF fear
1 mourn the ills that now my steps attend,
And shrink from others that may yet impend.
No night shall be in Heaven! Oh, had faith
To rest in what the faithful Witness saith
That Faith should make these hideous phantoms ne'
And leave no night henceforth on earth to me.

THURSDAY MORNING, MAY II, 1861
THE MEETING TONIGHT


A mass meeting of citizens will be held at Odd
Fellows Hall tonight, to endorse the Citizens
Ticket now before the people for their suffrages
on the first Monday in June. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to make an appeal for a full turnout on the
occasion. The people appreciate the Importance
Of securing safe and efficient administration of
the Municipal Government for the next two years,
and they will attest their interest in the matter
tonight by full and imposing demonstration.
We need not urge upon every citizen the duty Of
giving his personal attention to this subject, for it
is each ones duty, no less than his privilege Not
alone his individual welfare, but the welfare and
future destiny Of our great and growing city, are
involved in the selection Of our municipal officers.
1t is therefore, of the highest Importance that the
people, irrespective of party, and in the interest
of the development and future growth and welfare
of New Orleans, should signify their appreciation
of the subject in an emphatic manner. Let there
be such demonstration as will reflect the real
sentiments of the people upon an issue involving
the best interests of the city for the ensuing two
years.

TALK ON CHANGE.

Our flags are thinning off daily. 1t is almost i'm
possible to raise sergeant's guard on the hereto
fore reliable corners Of Carondelet and enylrons.
We are rapidly tending to the summer standard.
There were some sales of the staple yesterday,
and if there were to-day in our market quarter Of
million bales of clean cotton, or more, to be had,
it would command prices at from 1l@l23c. The
time and season for talking about cotton is draw
ing to close; whatever we may have to say in
general will only be confirmatory Of the views we
expressed last autumn of yield beyond the esti-
mates which were from time to time promulgated.
AS we have been delayed in receiving the figures
or receipts from two ports, we are compelled to
make up another semi-weekly table of receipts.
The last weekly receipts from the Texas ports took
many operators by surprise. These receipts, send
ing the quantity up to 225 900 bales at the Gulf
ports, seem to confound the views of some parties.
we are confirmed in our views that very few indi-
viduals are aware Of the great and vast productive
powers Of the great Southwest Of these United
States, or the cotton-growing section. For in
stance, circulars have been forwarded to England
during the present season containing remarks that
the maximum production of cotton in the United
States had been attained, placing this maximum at
the figures of 1900 900 bales. 1t will thus be seen
know of the producing capacities Of the cotton
growing States.
We are gratified to find that our respected CO.
temporary, the New Orleans Price Current, has
found sufficient material to send the receipts at the
seaports over 100000 bales. Our neighbor has
been keeping the Virginia and North Carolina re-
ceipts at the same figures for four weeks. Our
neighbor is also very skeptcal about the Florida
receipts. We trust he will take no umbrage if we
intrude on his figures and tables, promising that the
difference in figures will not have any remark
able influence on the value of the staple. Our
neighbor is fully 10000 bales short in his figures
1t is no sort Of use to be awaiting on what the New
York Price Current may say or its tables indicate.
We move onward, regardless Of what the New
York folks may figure up. Let US now figure up,
or foot up, how we stood last evening on the great
receipts. We have

Congressional Proceedings.


WASHINGTON, May 16.-A resolution was passed
by the House yesterday inviting the Japanese EN-
bassy to visit the Hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
As the time of the Embassy's sojourn is short,
they will most probably accept the invitation to-
day or tomorrow.
In the Senate yesterday, Senator Douglas opened
his speech on the Davis Federal Resolutions. The
Senate was well attended by members, and the
lobby and galleries densely crowded by ladies and
gentlemen, anxious to hear his remarks. The
speech was rather caustic.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-In the House of Repre-
sentatives, to-day, a resolution was adopted re-
quring Postmaster-General Holt to communicate
at as early day as possible the facts and circum.
stances relative to the Fowler defalcation.
In the case of the contested seats between
Cooper and Howard, the House has excluded the
former and admitted the latter.
in the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Green of Missouri
from the Committee on Territories, reported, with
out recommendation, the House bill for the admis
sion of Kansas.
Mr.. Hale, of New Hampshire, offered o resolu
tion asking Postmaster-General Holt to lay before
the Senate the facts respecting the Fowler defal
cation.
WASHINGTON, May 16.--In the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday, the Committee on Postof
and Post Roads decided in favor of the Butterfield
foreign mail contract.
They informed the House that bill would be
reported granting him postal contract
He proposes to establish mail line of steamers
which shall touch at twelve of the principal ports
on the Gulf of Mexico
The BILL as introduced, provides for weekly
mail service at 500 600 per annum.
WASHINGTON, May 16-In the Senate to-day Mr.
Douglas resumed his speech on the Davis resou
tions.
The galleries and lobby were crowded with
spectators.
Black Republican National Convention.
CHICAGO, May 16.-The delegates to the BLACK
Republican Convention assembled this morning al
II o'clock, in the spacious building erected ex
pressly for their convenience.
1t lis estimated by good Judges that at least 1000
spectators were present.
The galleries, which had been reserved for tn
ladies, were closely packed by them; in fact ever
| available spot was occupied.
The Convention was called to order by Go,
Morgan, Of New York. He proposed the Hor
Basd Wilmet. of Pennsylvania, as temporar

The motion was carried, and Mr.. Wilmot electe

ARE ooNeRBssMRu ooRRuPr1nLEs

our telegraphic column, yesterday, contained
yery curious announcement from Washington. 1t
was reported that a development has been made
before the Coyode Investigating Committee, affect
ing the integrity Of certain members of the last
Congress who voted for the English bill. It was
specifically charged that several members sud
denly changed their votes upon this proposition
when it came before the House, and that the dates
and particulars of certain checks for money issued
by Cornelius Wendell, explained their opportune
conversion.
The names of these members are not given-nor
have we any idea at present to whom alluslon IS
made, But as Cornelius Wendell, who has lately
quarreled with the Administration, has exhibited
remarkable readiness to disclose all the Disgrace
ful political transactions in which he has ever been
engaged, we may expect very soon to be duly en-
lightened on the subject. Since this CoVode Com-
mittee has been in session, Wendell has developed
rascality enough-of his own and other peoples
to supply whole colony of Botany Bay convicts
for the remainder of their lives. Nor does he ap-
pear to have any eompunctions OF conscience
about it, or be at oil conscious OF any moral de-
linouency of his own. Wendell is one of those
precious patriots, educated in the school of the
Albany Regency, who think that there is not only
no harm in political dlshonesly, out that such
things should be set down to the credit OF man
rather than to his disparagement He blazons
forth his own disgrace with refreshing GOODNESS
that it is really charming TO contemplate.
When the particulars of this affair come to be
made known, we shall be enabled to ascertain
with accuracy the precise money value of mem
Der. of Congress. We feel confident no Southern
member will be impeaehed. But it is important
that the true tariff of rates by which members are
to be purchased should be made known, so that
the cost of procuring the passage of any measure
through Congress may be definitely determined.
Let Mr.. Wendell furnish the specific items of the
bill, with the receipts of each member in full.
