THE HOUR OF NORTHERN VICTORY.


Roll not drum, sound not a clarion note
OF naughty triumph to the silent skyi
Hush be the shout of joy in eT' ry throat,
And veil'd the flash Of pride in ev'ry eye
Not with Te Deums loud and high Hosannas
Greet We the awful victory we have won,
But with our arms reversed and lowsr'd banners
We stand-our work is done.
Thy work is done, God, terrible and just,
Who laydst upon our hearts and hands this task,
And kneeling, with our forheads In the dust
Bleeding and writhing underneath our sword,
PROSTATE our brethren lie, Thy fallen foe,
Struck down by Thee through US, avenging Lord,
By Thy dread hand laid low.
For our own guilt have we been doomedt to smite
These our kindred, Thy great laws defying,
These our own flesh and blood, who nowNunite,
In one thing only with us-bravely dying.
Dying how bravely, yet how bitterly!
Not for the better side, for the worse,
Blindly and madly striving against Thee
For the bad cause where Thou hast set Thy curse.
At whose defeat we may not raise our voice,
Save in the deep thanksgiving of our prayers,
Lord we have fought in the ightH but to rejoice
Is ours no more than theirs.
Call back thy dreaded ministers of wrath
Who may have led on our hosts to this greatdR;
Let our feet halt now in the avengers path,
And bid our weapons stay.
Upon our land Freedoms inheritance,
Turn Thou once more the splendor of Thy face
Where nations serving Thee to Light advance,
Give us again our place.
Not our bewilderng past prosperity,
Not all thy former ill-requited grace,
But this one bOou-Ohl grant us still to be
The home Of Hope to the whole human race.

THE SUFFRAGE QUESTIoN.-The Oregon
Legislature very properly disposed of the
negro suffrage quoot;a.. y a., olortior of a
series of resolutions, offered by Mr.. Lawson,
Of Iamhill county. The resolutions are sens
sibe, and such as every man not blinded by
partisan bigotry can endorse. We copy:
That we agree with President johnson in
lis position that suffrage is "A question that
constitutionally belongs to the States and
not to Congress, and that suffrage is poltti-
cal not a natural sht.
That the freedmen of the United States,
by the suflerings and wrongs they have en-
durcd, and their services in the cause of the
Nation and the Union, have merited the
right TO rise to the highest condition Of which
they are capable, and that it will be the duty
of Congress, so far as they have power, to
guide and assist them in that elevation.
That while Congress has no power to grant
political rights to the freedmen in any State,
yet, if the States where they reside do not
by adequate laws protect them in their uatu-
raj rights, then it shall be the duty of Com
gress to devise such measures as in its wis.
dom it shall deem most just and proper for
their protection in such rights. And in the
event that the freedmen be not satisfied with
an inferior condition, and they shall petition
therefor, We believe that Congress ought to
take steps for their removal from those States
as soon as the finances Of the country will
admit, and provide for them a country, sepd-
rate anaapart from oppression where, under
a protectorate of the United States they can,
by the philanthropic assistance of the Chris
tian world, realize and arrive at that high
estate desired for them by their greatest and
best friend, Abraham Lincoln = that of a
Christian Republican Nation.

GEN. WRIGHT.-Gov. Low, of California,
in his message to the Legislature of that
State, pays the following worthy tribute to
the late Gen. George Wright:
1t becomes my painful duty to announce
to you the decease of Brig Gen. George
Wright, for some years in command of the
Military Department Of the Pacific; to whose
loyalty, fidelity aud military ability the peo>
pie of the State are so much indebted for the
peace and good order that prevailed during
the dark days of the Republic. While all
recognize the services rendered to us by this
distinguished officer, to none were they so
apparent as to those connected with the
Executive Department, Brave, generous
and discreet, in him were combined all the
qualities that go to make up the gallant
soldier and wise commander; while his mod
esty of manner aud gentleness of disposition
endeared him to all who mingled with him
in social life As his last duties on earth
were performed here, it seems be6tting that
bis final resting place should be among those
whom he had served so well therefore, at
my request, and with the consent ofthe Trus-
tees, the remains of General Wright and his
Wue nave Oeeu lhteEEeu III Ine otaOe DutJlnS
Grounds, near the Capitol. In consideration
Of the services rendered the nation, through
a long military career, and in recognition Of
the debt Of gratitude due to him by us, l re-
commend that suitable monument be erected
to his memory, and ask that a reasonable
appropriation be made for that purpose.

METALLIC CEILING While all other de-
parments in the internal decorations Of houses
have kept Improvements in other branches OF
industry, it is a somewhat remarkable fact, and
one that has engaged the attention OF archl'
tects, that the ceiling of our rooms, with their
unseemly blisters and network cracks, are still,
general speaking, just what they we're many
years ago. Mr.. Little has invented system
for the construction of ceilings, which con-
sists in the application Ofthe jOisting of very
thin stamped ductie metal in ornamental em-
bossed panels, of such sizes and shapes as
may be required. These stamped panels are
fitted for every kind of decoration in color,
and, ifinserted as plain surfaces, may be used
as the ground for every description of cartoon
painting, combining with lightness and dura-
bility artistic and ornamental effect, at a com,
paratively small cost. Besides its appl'ca-
bility to the ceilings of rooms, and all pub
lie buildings, churches, etc, the system may
be made use of with the same effect in stair
cases, mills, and porticos, and even on the
walls of the rooms.-RyldndS Cireatdr.

BONDS OF THE IRISH RFPUBLIC.-The
bonds are of the denominations $40, $50,
800 and $500, of varied general arrange
ment, admirable in design, and Of elaborate
execution. One allagorical vignette Of exclu-
sive and fitting character is prominent upon
all. The verbal matter in form is as follows:
i. at is hereby certified that The Irish
Republic' is indebted unto ---, or
bearer, in the sum of - Dollars, redeems
able six months after the acknowledgement
of the Independence of the Irish Nation, with
interest from the date hereof, inclusive, at
six per cent per annum, payable on presen-
tation of the bonds at the Treasury OF the
Irish Republic" ,A
Ofthe conspicuous devices npon the bonds,
the portraits of the well>known Irish patriots
Robert Emmet, Wolfe Tone and Fitzgerald
are prominent. These are skillfully engraved
from authentic original pictures. The com
position of the principal allegorical vignette
upon these bonds deserves particular notice
from the fact that one Of the chief officers
connected with this interest furnished sug>
cestions adopted by the artist in its design.
Erin is represented as maiden pointing TO
the sunbnrst from behind distant mountains,
which are typical of the centuries of oppres-
sion, and of the difficulties to be overcome
before the Just sun of liberty will be IN the
ascendant. with the right hand she points
to the unsheathed sword lying upon the
ground, thus indicating the only hope for
the regeneration of Ireland. An Irish soldier
is represented as STOPPING to grasp the sword
with his eyes fixed ia the direction of the
rising sun. In the foreground accessories
of the picture is shown the Irish wolf hound
crouching at the feet Of the figure Ert'., and
the ancient Harp of Erin. In the back
ground, one of the ancient round towers OF
ireland is cOnspicuous'pOint in the land'
scape.

exclaims "Shame on johnson, who has
basely betrayed those who placed him in
power, on Seward and Stanton and the whole
>setxho have not the honor to resist him.
If the United States is not to
sink under this aceursed corruption of Its
moral sense through slavery, our true men
must and will now arise, and pledge them
selves to the negro to go abreast with him
through another sea of blood, if it must be,
rather than to allow. the Johnsons, the Shar-
