SPOKEN AT SEA.


oM THEL LOG BOOK OF THE STEAMSHIP "vIRGINII
from the Gatdry)
Twelve hundred miles and more
From the stormy English shore,
All right, the seventh night,
On her course our vessel bore
Her lantern shone ahead,
And the green lamp and the red
To staTboard, and to larboard,
Shot their light.
Close on the midnight call
What a msr began TO iall,
And TO nide the ocean vide,
And to wraI us in pail
Beneath its iolds we past;
Hidden were shroud and mast,
And faces, in near places
Side by side.
Sudden there also fell
A summons like knell:
Every ear the words could hear
whence spoken, who could tell !?
What ship is this where boundw
Oh what dismal sound
stranger, aud in danger,
Sailing near.
'The Virginia, on her route
From the Mersey, seven days out;
Fore and att, our trusty craft
Carries thousand souls, about"
''All these souls may travel still,
Westward bound, il go they will;
Bodies rather, would gather !"
Loud he laughed.
"Who is't that halls so rude,
And Tor what thus idle mood?
Words like these, on midnight seas,
Bode no friend nor fortune good !"
''Care not to know my name,
But whence lastly came,
At lPisure, tor my pleasure,
Ask the breeze.
ITO the people of your port
Bear message of this sort;
Say, | haste unto the West,
A sharer OF their sport.
Let them sweep the houses clean;
Their fathers did, | ween,
When hearing of my nearing
As a guest
LAS by Halifax ye sail
And the steamship England hail,
or me, then, bespeak her men;
She took my latest mail
Twas somewhere near this spot:
Doubtless they've not forgot,
Remind them iii you find them y
Once again.
'Yet that you all may know
Who is't that hailed you so,
(Slow he saith, and under breath),
leave my sign below!'
Then from our crowded hold
A dreadful cry uprolled,
UnbToken, and the token
1t was Death.

The Negro Suffrage Bill.

passed the lower House Of Congress. 1t
will be seen that it is without any quail

whites upon a perfect equality. The most

hold Office with the most accomplished
statesman in the District:

they read precisely alike. Here is what
the $40 bond says:
"lT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED THAT

Trial and Sentence of Fernandis
for the Murder of OterO.

New YORK, Jan. 10.-The trial of
Gonzales Fernandis, for the murder Of
Ortero, was concluded yesterday. He
was found guilty of murder in the first
degree, and remanded for sentence. The
prisoner has all through the trial present
ed an unmoved and manly appearance.
On this, the last day of the trial, he
looked haggard and anxious, but betray-
ed no sign of weakness or fear. During
his summing up the counsel for the
prosecution now and then turned and
faced him, and on these occasions he
seemed rather anxious and turned his
eyes in another direction. When the
jury returned he went, attended by the
officer, to the corner of the court room
close by the open window, and seemed to
enjoy the fresh air. He said a few words
to the officer and smiled. He understands
just a few words of English. So soon as
the verdict was declared it was translated
to him, and then his dark complexion
grew a shade paler, but it was only for a
moment, and he quickly regained his or
binary demeanor.

M, Plants and Negro safrrage.

~
Can Mr.. Plants or any Of his friends
explain ION what principle of representa-
ton he voted for Negro Suffrage in the
District of Columbia viii he or his
friends dare claim that in doing olhe
represented the wishes Of a majority Of
his constituents One full third of the
Republicans of this district are opposed
to Negro Suffrage, and these, added to the
Democrats, make a large majority. Mr..
Plants, therefore, does not represent his
constituents but simply the radical major
itY of his party.
But even if a majority Of his constitu-
ents favored Negro Suffrage, Mr.. Plants
shows himself to be more of a fanatic
than statesman, in forcing this obnoxious
measure on an unwilling and protesting
people. A test vote in the District showed
the majority against the bill to be in the
proportion Of one hundred to one. Only
bigotry, intolerance and fanaticism could
prompt him to vote for such a bill under
such, circumstances.
Mr. Plants doubtless desires to be re-
elected, and it is only through this desire
that his outraged constituents can proper
II rebuke him.
1t is full time that our representatives
were taught an important lesson. They
must learn that they are not sent to leg
i%slative halls to carry out some favorite
schemes Of their own which they have
srtfully concealed while canyassing for
election They must learn that they are
cent there to represent the will and wishes
Of their constituents. They must be
taught that they are not the masters, but
the servants of those they represent.
The theory, and the only sound prac.
tee, Of representation is that the Repre-
sentative shall conform to the well settled
convictions of those he represents.
The people of this district surely have
the spirit to resent and rebuke this out
rageolas violation of duty. One lessor
viii be sufficient for years to come. lie
the people show Mr.. Plants that the,
have intelligence enough to form opinions
aud 6rnness enough to see they are no
despised and trodden down by the agen
employed to uphold and sustain them
When this is done, and not before, vii

Caution to Ex-soIdiers.

An Ohio exchange remarks that since
the introduction Of the bill in Congress
to equalize the bounties of volunteers,
by giving those who enlisted in 1862
an extra bounty, the "sharks" in the
cities are sending out their circulars,
stating that the bill will soon be passed,
and that they will collect the money for
those who send them their discharge pa
pers, as soon as it becomes a law. We
would say to our friends that they had
better hold OF to their papers themselves
The bill is not passed yet, and it will
hardly become a law this winter. If ii
does, there are those nearer home, with
whom it would probably be better to
leave your papers for collection.

hTAn action has been brought in one
of the New York Courts bya person
claiming that he has been injured to the
extent Of $4,000 by being described as a
colorsd person in one Of the city directo-
ries. Thr error happened in this wise:
The person who gathered the names for
the directory, set down %"coll," collector
of bills, after the mans name. The
compositor set it up "coll'd," and SO ii
went into print.

What Became of the Attempted
Persecution of a Democratic
Minister of the Gospel.

The Rev. Mr.. Nichols has been a cir
cult preacher of the Methodist pursua-
sion for the last twenty years. through
out the entire time of which he has lived
a most exemplary life as a man and as
q christian. For some time past, he has
lived near hassieville, in Ross county,
where he had charge Of the church com
prising the Methodist congregation Of
that place and vicinity. His stipulated
salary was $500 a year, payable quarterly.
He don't preach politics, but quietly
votes the Democratic ticket; and, in &C
cordance with that custom, he voted for
Gcneral Morgan and the Democratic tick.
ct last fall. He was watched by some Of
the SUPERFICIAL Of his congregation; and
when his last quarter was due, he was
handed but two dollars as his pay, in.
stead of one hundred and fifty dollars
which was justly his due. This was ac-
companied by the remark of the presid.
ing elder, that che was sorry that there
was a drop Of 'Copperhead' blood to be
found in the church."
The state Of the case soon gained gen.
e.al publicity, and the neighbors and the
members who possessed a liberal and
christian spirit, gave the Reverend Mr.
Nichols a most agreeable surprise on New
Years evening, who, on going to hi,
door, found "the trees in front of i
bending beneath a load of poultry of al
kinds, and meats in such varieties anc
quantities as to insure ample provision,
for the family during the winter; and a
this juncture his house was invaded By
his neighbors; men and women, bringin.
in a bounteful supply of every comfort
and all necessaries of life with which th,
house was literally filled and the family
overwhelmed" In addition, a quarter
salary has been promptly subscribed.
These facts we get from the Chilicoth,
Advertiser of the 18th inst. The me-

barThe President will get the better
Of the Radicals if they are not vigilant.
He has power, and that is nine points in
the game. He distributes the Offices and
Ispoils. A rampant demagogue who has
ridden into Office on his eolored hobby
wants the patronage in his region. He
calls on the President, and finds out that
kissing goes by favor. He begins to see
merit in the President. He feels that
the negro is not worth as much as he was,
and hat rebels, after all, are not as great
sinners as he once thought. Thad. Ste.
yens & Co., find the sand giving away
under their feet. Governor, Andrew, the
meanest d~emagogue in the North, beginl
