hedge about and secure the right of
the laborng poor, and adopt measures
that shall bring peace and prosperity
to the country recently swept by the
storms Of civil war. The President.
in his exercise of the war powers had
effected the organization of the rebel
lious States. While making those or
CARNATIONS, he assured the country
that if they were not properly organi-
zed, the power was reserved by the
Government of the United States to
change and correct. Itcoulf not be-
denied that the reorganiZed Rebel
States were as completely in the hands
OF men engaged in the Rebellion as
they were when JEFF Davis was at the
head of the Confederacy. When Con-
gress assembled the demand was made
for the immediate admission of the
Senators and Representatives from
these reconstructed States, nearly all
OF whom were unrepentant Rebels :;
men who could not take the oath I'M
less they were false as the Senators
and Representatives who left their
seats in 1861. Congress, in order that
there should be unity of purpose be-
tween the two Houses appointed a
joint committee to inquire into the con-
dition of the States lately i'm rebellion.
The President had been called upon to
furnish the papers and evidence rela-
ting to these States but he said he
thought proper to Withhold those pa
pers. Possibly those papers might
satisfy Congress that the reconstruct
ed States were prepared to take part
in the government of the country
The Committee was proceeding toI
take testimony, and il was to be hoped |
that the testimony would soon be re.
ported to the country. All would be |
glad to know, to learn that these States .
were prepared to take part--not for
admission into the Union, for they !
were in the Union nOw-but s5r par |
in the legislation of the coun-
try. The loyal people of the country,
who had poured ont SO much blood |
and treasure for its preservation, were
in favor of protecting the people of
the rebeliious States, white and black, |
loyal and dis!oyal. But they had a
right to demand, before entrusting the |
of the country to the
trainers of the Confederate government
and to the soldiers who had met their
sons on bloody fields, some security
for the rights of loyal men of every
race, and some security for the money
loaned Meir country to clothe, feed,
arm, equip, and pay the defenders of
the Republic.

Touching.

One of the most touching things
we ever read is the following from
j. NJ. Dixon, for many years the local
editor of the Des Moines Register.
For months he has been afflicted with
diseased eyes, and for the past two
months has been entirely shut ont
from the light of day, until he seems to
greatly fear that he is henceforth
shronded in darkness. Hear him !:

Labor.
By L. LIGHT.


A song for honest labor
The band which serves to bind
Each yeoman to his neighbor,
And to the human kind
Not he deserves our praises
Who lives but to be served,
But he whom labor raises
To fame that is deserved.
Then shout for honest labor;
The hero of the plow
Looks not TO ship or sabre ...
For wreaths to crown his brow.
We honor all our brave men
Who fought for liberty,
Or died, like saints, to save men
From curse of slavery.
We love our gallant seamen,
Those patriotic tars.
Who, like true-hearted freemen,
Defend our stripes and stars.
But still those same brave sailors
Would not be worth fig"
Unless we had our tailors
To give them each "a rig"
With honest pride we cherish
The fame. our soldiers due.
Their names shall never perish,
Those noble boys in blue!
But all our men of battle
Would everywhere retreat,
Unless the men of cattle
Could find them food to eat.
Then let us love to labor,
To strengthen bonds which bind
Each freeman to his neighbor
And To the human kind.

Of their oars This was the "good
time" when Louis the Fourteenth
reigned over France with iron rule,
and in this galley there was not only
the ordinary assortment of Partisan
rogues and country criminals, but "a
party of Iroquois Indians. They had
been enticed from their hunting
grounds, aud sent TO France, where
they were at once made to toll in the
galleys. Hard as was their lot, none
of them were so harshly treated as
those on the galley L'Orient, whereof
Jerome Margry was captain.
Bend TO your oars |" he shouted,
and stridnig along the centre Of the
galley, he unsparingly laid the lash of
his whip upon the shoulders of those
who we're at all behind their compan-
ions in toll. Urged TO strain every
nerve, the unfortunate galley-slaves

Who was it?p
No one answered, for it was known
that whenever the galley returned
after a hard days toll, the daughter of
one of the savages was always at the
quay, ready to throw rope. and to
assist them in making fast Even the
most hardened criminals had been
touched by the devotion displayed by
this maiden, and the fact that she had
indignantly repulsed the advances of
Captain Margry. but raised her in their
estimation.
She was called by the tribe "Dain.
dasee." or the BIne JAY" from the
singular fact that her eyes were of a
deep. dark blue, so rarely seen among
the daughters of the forest. Torn
from her forest home, she endeavored
TO cheer her father aud his comrades,
and her smiles alone shed rays OF hap
piness upon their rugged path. Aud
now she stood upon the quay. scanti-
ly clad, yet strangely beautisul, az she
awaited the consequences OF her un.

her to carry it to his quarters. Once

and she now shook her head negative

humble attitude.

Daindasee did not move, aud with an
oath. he raised his heavy whip to
strike her. Ere the lash could descend,
