FREEDMEN LEAVING TEXAs. A re-
port received by Surgeon Horner,
chief surgeon of the Bureau of Freed
men, Refugees, &c, from DR.. S. J..
W. Mintzer Surgeon-in- chief of the
district of Texas, dated December /,
1865, states that large numbers of
freedmen are returning to Louisiana
and other States, principally with
their former masters. 1t is estimated
by the most reliable citizens on the
Sabinetown road that an average Of
about 300 freedmen have gone out of
the State by that road in the past
sixty days. Those with whom the
surgeon had conversed expressed a
desire to get home, and seemed not
to like Texas, saying there was too
much beef. and not enough of bacon
there

The day, with It's sandals dipped In dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden gates
| And u single star In the cloudless blue
For the rising moon in silence waits;
| While the winds that sigh to the languid hours
A lullaby breathe DER the folded flowers.
| The lilies nod to the sound Of the stream
That winds along with lulllng flow, "
And either awake or half a.dream,
I pass through tho realms Of long ngo;
While faces peer with many q smile
From the bower Of memory's magical Isle.
| There arejoys and sunshine, sorrows and tears
That check tho path Of life's April hours,
And q longing wish for the coming years, r. o.
That hope ever wreaths with the falrest flowers
There are friendships guileless-loye rs bright
And pure rs the stars In the halls Of night.
There are ashen memories. bitter pain.
And buried hopes and a broken VOW,
Aud an aching heart by the reckless main,
And the sea. breeze tanning n paid brow;
And q wanderer on tho shell.lined shore ....
Listening for voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong and ambitions wild,
And tho fierce desire to stand In the van
OF the battle Of life-and the heart Of the child
Is crushed In the breast Of the struggling man
But short arc tho regrets, and few are the tears,
That fall at the tomb Of the banished years.
There ID q quiet and peace end domestic love,
And Toys arising from faith and truth,
And q truth unquestioning, far above
The passionate dreamings OF ardent youth
And kisses Of children on lips and cheek,
And parents bliss which no tongue can speak.
There arc loved ones lost There are little graves
In the distant dell, meath protecting trees,

And tho grasses sway 10 the signing breeze;
And we mourn for pressure Of tender lips,
And the light ofeyes dsrkened In death eclipse.

We can not congratulate our readers
this morning on q prospect OF speedy re-
construction. The President and his
Cabinet appear to be dead against the plan
Of the Committee. If, therefore, it fails Of
q two-thirds majority in each House, il
fails altogether 4; and the extreme radicals
Of the Senate seem to be determined on its
defeat in that body. Sumner, who insists
upon a negro suffrage clause, declares for
postponement. He will require not moro
than two or three adherents to defeat q
two-thirds majority in that branch Of Con-
gress, and he 10 likely to find them in Howe,
Of Wisconsin, and Wade, Of Ohio. The
House is no doubt all right, but that will
not avail. The Senate will postpone the
consideration OF the subject and delay a
vote as long as possible. Delay, in our
opinion, is death to the efforts Of Con-
gress in resisting Executive enactments,
and this is really the gist of the quar-
rel. What the Committee has presented
the country is willing to accept, but the
country is likely to be disappointed by
the unfortunate disagreement between
Senators on the question Of suffrage. Yet
il these extreme radical Senators-Sum-
ner, Howe and Wade. had succeeded in
their plan, had prevailed upon the Com
mittee to ingraft their favorite idea in its
proposed amendment to the Constitution,
We know very well that it would have
failed Of the necessary three.fourths of the
States In ratification. Hence these three
Senators, whatever their moral or intel
lectual standing. are merely political i'm
practicables. They cannot obtain all, but
they will have all or nothing. If the
President succeeds they will be the means
Of his success.
What the Reconstruction Committee
propose is the utmost that is practically
attainabls in favor Of the Government and
the loyal States I; and as Mr.. Fessenden
remarked, dit is the matured opinion of
men who had carefully considered the
whole subject" and is, therefore, entitled
to great weight. A portion Of the radical
press hastily condemn il the South is as
sumed to be against it, the President and
his Cabinet are known to be against it.
There is therefore, from present indica-
tons, little hope that it will carry, and
much danger that the President will have
his arbitrary way. At least the business
of reconstruction will be postponed and
the political interests Of the country suffer.

An AFFECTING SIeHT.-Yesterday af-
ternoon, when Gilfoy, the Jehu Of the
vehicle which conveys prisoners from the
calaboose to the Workhouse, started on
his usual trip with his wagon crammed
full Of miserable wretches, two little girls
ran after the vehicle, shouting, Mamma!
o, mamma! :" Gilfoy put whip to his
spanking bays and drove rapidly up Ches-
nut street, but the two little girls followed
as fast as their tender limbs would carry
them, and continued to shout, 30, NAM

degraded mother of the poor children had
been fined by the Recorder for violating O
law Of the city, and being unable to pay
her 6ne, she was sent to the Workhouse
to work it out" The children waited all
the morning in the street opposite the
door Of the dreadful calaboose, anxious to
catch a glimpse of their mother. and when
at length she appeared and was tumbled
into the "Black Maria" their little hearts
bounded with joy, and they few to meet
her. But the imperative decree Of the law
tore the mother from her little ones, and
left them desolate and abandoned. They
obeyed the instincts OF their nature and
pursued the ~retreaing vehicle, but were
unable to overtake it. What did these
poor children know. Of the laws What
did they know Of the degraded character
Of their mothera They only knew that
she loved them, and that she was their
only protector. and they hurried forward
to receive a kiss from her polluted lips,
but were forbidden. The hard heart of a
Chestnut stree, constable melted at the
sight Of the two little girls, and tears
gathered in his eyes, and he offered TO
pay the woman's fine and restore her to
her children, but it was too late-the

items about the condition Of affairs at that
post. There are now some 500 Indians
in the vicinity Of the post, waiting the ar

quest Of Colonel Maynadier, who seems to
have great influence with them, they re-
main entirely of the main roads, and
people travel all over the country in per-

He has been upon the war-path for twenty
years, and has never during that time Wis

friendship. He informed Colonel May
nader that during the late rebellion he
was instigated to hos.ilities against, the
people Of the United States by the British.

So the charter expressly provides. The

reading, anything in the general election
law passed last winter, changing the char
ter law in the premises. It is not a mis-
take of much Consequence, anyway; only
an inadvertance. A friend at u elbow

though largely in the minority, have had
nearly half the talking time. The great
majority Of the speeches on both sides are
very readable. Nevada has been repre-
sented on both sides-by Stewart. Nye
made n Of the longest speeches delivered
in the Senate. Ashley made two OF the
shortest and best, delivered in the House.
The debates have been, as a whole, worthy

CHICAGO, May 5.-Sherman's Loan Bill
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury
to issue registered or coupon bonds IN
such form and denominations as he may
prescribe, interest payable in coin' bear
ing interest not exceeding 8 per cent per
annum, payable semi-annually. Bonds
to run not exceeding 80 years, and DO
disposed of at not less than par, The
proceeds are to be used exclusively IN re-
ducing obligations or other Indebtedness
Of the United States, except United States
notes. Section two provides that bonds
issued under this act shall be known as
Consolidated Debt Of the United States
and shall be exempt from taxation in any
form, by or under state, municipal or
local authority, and in consideration OF
rates of interest shall also be exempt from
tax on incomes derived therefrom. Sec
ton three requires that the amount OF in
terest saved to Government shall be ap-
piled to payment of principal, and that
for the purpose of insuring payment
thereof, and in lieu Of the sinking fund
contemplated by the Act Of 26th February
1852, the sum of at least so millions, in
GLIDING saving Of interest aforesaid, shall
be annually applied to the redemption Oh
debt. Section four requires holders OF
7.SO Treasury notes to inform the Secre-
tary at least six months before maturity
of such notes whether they desire 6.2o
bonds in lieu thereof, and failure to give
such notice, will be deemed conclusive
that said 1905 shall DO paid in lawful
money.
Senator Sherman, in offering the bill,
said it contained two propositions likely
to excite opposition, namely: exemption
from tax, and option Of holders Of 7-3os.
BE said that strong feeling grows out Of
exemption from State taxation Of SO large
an amount Of property, and while United
States bonds bear interest equal to tina,
paid in most States, on notes and securi-
ties subject to taxation, this feeling will
continue to increase. He said the bill
was approved by the Secretary of the
Treasury, and had been partially consid-
cred by the Finance Committee. r-
1t is expected that the holders of the
present bonds will not convert them ;.bu'
fortunately nearly all our securities will
soon be within reach by their maturity
It i, the confident belief that this PROPOSE.
ton Of reducing the rate Of interest, will
be so far adjusted between conflicting in
terests Of bond.holders and Taxpayers,
that it will be accepted BY both, and thu
consolidate the debt Of the United States
All the advantages proposed by the bill
will be more properly considered when il
is reported to the Senate; in the mean
time. it is but right to submit it to the i'm
partial test Of public judgment, and to TIT
consideration Of every one who pays taxe'
or who holds National securities. Tit
