BY y. G.. WHITTIER.

How thrills once more the frightening chain
OF memory at the thought OF thee
Old hopes, which long in dust have lain,
Old dreams come thronging back again,
And boyhood lives in me;
l feel its glow upon my cheek,
Its fullness of the heart Is mine,
As when learned to hear thee speak,
Or raised my doubtful eye to thine.
/ hear again thy low replies,
feel thy arm within my own,
And timidly again up-rise
The friHged lids or thy hazel eyes,
with soft, brown tresses oyerbiown.
All memories OF sweet summer ewes,
OF moonlit waves aud willowy way,
Of stars, and flowers, and dewy leaves,
And smiles and tones more dear than they
Ere this thy quiet eye hath smiled
My picture Of thy you'h to see,
When, half a woman, half child,
Thy very artlesspess beguiled.
And foliy's self seemed wise in me.
/ too can smile when FER that hour
The lights of memory backward stream,
Yet feel the while that man hood q power
Is yainer than my boyhood's dream.
Years have passed on, and left their trace
OF graver care and deeper thought,
And unto me the calm, cold face
Uf mankind-and To thee, the grace
OF woman's psnsive beauty brought.
On lifes rough bisst, fer blame or praise,
The sehool-boy's name has widely flown
Thine, in the green and quiet ways
OF unobtruave goodness known.
And wider yet, in thought and deed,
Our still divefging paths incline;
Thine the Genevan sternest creed
While answers 10 nay spirit need,
The Yorkshire pes. ant e simplest line;
For thee, the priestly rite and prayer,
And holy day, and solemn psalm;
For me, the silent reverence whore
My brethren gather, slow and calm.
Yet hath thy spirit left me
An impress Time has worn notout,
And something of myself In thee,
A shadow from the past, see
Lingering 'en yet thy way about.
Not wholly can the heart uslearn
That lesson Of its better hours,
Nor yet has Times dull footstep worn
To common dust that path Of flowers.

VIRGINIA PolitIcs-From Richmond.

RICHMOND, June 10.-Robert G.. Scott oi
Alabama, addressed the citizens of Richmond
last night, defending the Southern movement
at Charleston, and denying that it was a dis
union movement but one to save the Union
by maintaining equal protection to all. He
denounced Douglas and squatter sovereignty
in unrneasured terms. If the Richmond Con.
yention adjourned tp Baltimore, he would
there insist upon the same platform as a
Charleston Fiji was refused, he would come
back to Richmond. ~ 'irb1H f
Mr.. Fisher, of Va, also spoke vindicating
his course at Charleston. .,..t a.r
Nearly all the delegates from Louisiana,
Texas, Alabama Mississippi, Georgia, South
Carolina and Florida, have arrived. There
Is diversity of opinion as to the course TO
pursue, though nearly all are agreed to go 10
Baltimore to contest the seats Of the Douglas
claimants before taking final action.
The difficulty is, whether they shall resume
their seats, If granted them, unless the plat
form is rescinded. The Louisiana delegates
demanded Of Virginia that the delegates
should pledge themselves to withdraw, # the
seeeders are not admitted to seats, il being
contended that if Virginia will pursue this
course, North Carolina, Kentucky Tennessee
and part of Maryland will follow suit, and
that Cushing will resign and leave the Chair.
The position OF the New York delegates is
anxiously discussed. II is contended by
some, who have been to New York sound
ing the delegates that they are ready to
abandon Douglas, while others claim that
they are more firmly welded to Douglas
than ever, since the withdrawal Of Mr.. Sey-
mour, and some Of them express the deter
mination TO. oppose the admission of any
delegates who are accredited to the Rich
mond Convention, on the ground that they
are dlsorganizers, and not National Demo-

| Attorney-General Black has addressed d
| letter to the President showing that about
one hundred and fifty millions worth of land
in California are claimed under forged land
warrants purporting TO have been issued by
the Mexican authorities After stating that
in order TO detect these frauds some four
hundred folio volumes of the archives of the
Mexican Government scattered over Cali
fornia, were collected and bound, the letter
continues
'The archives thus collected furnish ire
sistible proof that there had been an organized
system of fabricating land-titles carried on
for long time in California, by Mexican of
fieials that forgery and perjury had been re-
duced to q regular foccupation; that the
making Of false grants, with the .subordina-
ton Of false witnesses to prove them, had
become q trade and q business. Desolate
islands, barren rocks and protecting promon-
tories, useless to individuals, but of priceless
value to the Goyerhnieht, had been seized
upon under these spurious titles, with view
OF extorting millions from the United States,
for sites necessary to defend the national
possessions on the Pacific, and defend and
guard the commerce Of the coast. 1r t.
''The richest part of San Francisco was found
to be covered by no less than FIVE different
grants, every one of them forged after the
conquest. Sacramento, Marysville, Stockton
and Petaluma were claimed on titles no bet

lection, collation.. and translation Of the
archives, the Government acquired the means
of demonstrating these frauds, or distinguish

fabricated, and have been enabled to make

EXTRAORDINARY TEsAcITY OF A DEATH

his brother, was drowned at Albany, N. Y,
six miles up stream. As some men employed
ON board Of one of the tow-boats were en-
gagged hauling up the hawser, the body of the
little fellow was found, both hands ciinging

ever been ascribed to the death grip. II is
supposed that as he was sinking he grasped
the rope, but was too far gone to pull him.

corpse was fastened to the rope for forty
eight hours, and its tenacity was so great
that even the very strong current necessarily
met with in dragging the body six miles up
stream had not force enough to loosen it.
