CHANGED.
By MARIA MIGNoNETTE q,

Gone are the surchsrged hours of old:
And golden days that once were swift,
Come iistlessly from out the east
And coldly through the seasons drift.
oh Morning Whose first blush awoke
NV heart anew to Loves sweet day,
Where are thy robes OF flame ana gold
Why contest thou in sullen grey
And evenirg-whose blue hush was mine
To pour to God my grateful heart,
To sit with wrapt eyes on the stars
And wonder at my happy part
Why droppest thou upon the hills
Starless and full of sullen gloom
Seeing each night some dream fade out
Making each night some hopes dark tomb
oh proud Heart I'VE have wandered far
And ruthlessly have flung away
The clinging hopes, that bloomed SO falr
Around our lives that bridal day.
Remembered thou that bygone life?
Its daring Low e-awakened powers,
Its roseate strength, its great resolves,
Its undertone of freside hoursf
Al.si-as sometime golden mists
Sweep off and show the frowning hills,
So has our dream dissolving left
Only life's stern, ungiIded ills.
And not again IN all our lives
Shall we see, through the easement bars,
The morning come in flame and gold,
And evening with her heaven OF stars.

Assenably.-At the session last evening,
the Democratic side of the house was on
time. The Republicans came in little
slowly. The Democrats for a short time
were Ii a majority, and piled up several
OF the buncombe resolutions from our side,
and would have put their own through in
short order but for timely call of the
House. Afterwards Mr.. JONES gave his
views at length on the state of the coun-

This morning there were several more
petitions against compensated emancipa-

withdraw all State aid from the State His
torical Society, and one to organize Bur-
nett county for county and judicial pur-
poses. The bill relieving the State Print.

both houses. Several bills We're passed
but none of general Importance. =.

The New Orleans Representatives Sworn
| m-FavOrable Look for the COnscrip-
|
Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. !


WASHINGTON, Feb. II, 1868.
AS foreshadowed in these dispatches last
night. though contrary to all previous in
dications, and to general expectation, the
New Orleans applicants for seats in the
House were to day admitted. Flanders is
absent in New Hampshire stumping for
the Republican candidates. Hahn, how
ever, was present and sworn in. Before
the vote was taken he made speech in
behalf of his own and Flanders claim,
which greatly benefited his cause, and
sampled him as rising man in the House.
On being sworn in he was warmly con-
graduated by members as the first Repre-
sentative from the Cotton States, legally
elected and admitted since the rebellion.
Little or no doubt is entertained that both
he and Flanders may be relied on as
strongly Union men and supporters of
the Administration in all vital measures.
There is general rejoicing over the
unanimous passage of the Consumption
bill in the Senate last night. Tie Demo.
Gratis were expected to oppose it bitterly,
but they did not suppose it would be put
on its passage, and so went off about 10
or II o'clock at night to u party at Count
Mercier's. The loyal Border State men,
however, with Republicans made up a
majority and put the bill through by a
vote at midnight. 1t exempts no.
body Oh account of official position except
the President, Cabinet officers, members
of the Judiciary and Governors. The at
tempt to exempt clergymen was voted
down by large majority, as also was an
attempt to exempt congressman and mem.
bers Of the State Legislatures. 1t con.
tains, however, provision for paying the
Government a sum Of money, where the
conscript cannot go, with which bounty
the Government will procure substitute
The exemptions are nearly all in behalf OF
poor, and persons having poor, dependent
families in charge. 1t is expected tina,
those features will render il remarkably
popular.

BURG.-Ihe feat was performed on Friday
night. She started at II o'clock. 1t was
dark, drizzly, feggy night, but manned
by unquailing hearts, she started on be-
perilous voyage, with watchful ewes on

precautions, was seen. The signal passed
from battery to battery; t. en- came the
roar OF artillery and the iron rain. Every

The Adjournment of the Illinois LegIs-
lature-The COpperhead Democracy
FOiied at Every Point.

Springfield, Feb. IA. 1s63-The Legis-
lature has finally adjourned. Had the
body been Republican the Union men
could scarcely have been better satisfied
with the result of its deliberations. All
the pet measures of the Democracy have
been defeated, while the Republicans have
carried nearly all they could have posi-
bly, expected.
The attacks upon the Governor, like
those made upon him in the Constitution
al Convention, fell still-born the Commit.
tees of Investigation not even daring to
make reports. He was accused by the Chi.
cago Times of having, in collision with
the State Treasurer, robbed the State OF
over $4,000. The Senate Committee on
this subject have pronounced the charge
utterly without foundation.
The Committee OF Investigation into
his expenditure of the war fund have been
discharged by an almost unanimous vote
OF the Senate. the two leading Democrats
in that body speaking in favor of such
discharge.

how 1t came to bear this singular cogno-

short he granted certain privileges, with a

Of paper, the exclusive right Of which wai

enriched the Government also at the ex-
pense Of those who were obliged to use pa

in every conceivable manner; and, under
other indignities to the memory of King
Charles, it was ordered that the ROYAL arms
be removed from the paper, and the "fooPs

their turn were also removed when the
Rump Parliament was proroged; but paper
