In the time when yellow lilies shake
Their dusty gold on river and lake,
When the cuckoo calls In the heart o the
heat.
When the dog-star foams and the shade is
sweet;
Where cool and fresh the river ran,
I sat by the side of CHAIRMAN,
And heard no sound from the world OF man.
II.
All was so sweet and stilI that davI
The rustling shade, the ripping stream,
All life, all breath, dissolved away
Into a golden dream
Warm and sweet the scented shade
DrOagsily caught the breeze and stirred
Faint and low through the green glade
Came hum Of bee and song Of bird;
Our hearts were full Of drOWsy bliss,
And yet we did not clasp nor kiss,
Nor did we break the happy spell
With tender tone or syllable.
But TO ease our hearts and set thought free,
We plucked the flowers of red-rOse tree,
And leaf by Leaf we threw them, sweet
Into the river at our feet.
And in an iudOlen6 delight
Watch'd them glide onward out Of sight.

Charter ELECTORS.


Below will be found accounts of charter
elections that have gone Democratic unex-
pectedly:
A Detroit special says the election al
Owassa resulted in Democratic success
AURORA, ILL.-The following is the re-
suit of the. city election held: Mayor
elected Carter, Assessor; J. Hackney, Col
lector; J. Kontenburger, Treasurer; VIM.
Miller, Police Magistrate; j. w. PAIRING
McMiken, B. Barns. Aldermen.
Rock KIsLAND.-The city election here on
the 9Th inst, resulted in the choice of Egg
gleston, Democrat, for Mayor, by 213 ma
iority, and Major III. G. Connolly, Demo-
crat, for Police Magistrate, by S5 majority.
The vote was the largest ever cast in the
city. Last spring the Republicans carried
the Mayor and Police Magistrate, and
last fall Logan had 81 majority. The
Democrats have to-day elected three out oi
the four Aldermen. The next City Council
will stand six Democrats and three Repub-
Iicans.
Iowa CITY-The city election, held here
to-day, resulted in a Democratic success,
as follows:
The Democrats elected their mayor, mar
shall, treasurer and five out of eight coun-
cilmen. The Democratic majorities range
from to 69, the average being about thirty
greater than last year.
The election was closely contested by
both parties. .t a ..-

yesterday, the Democratic ticket was tri-
umphant. How are you Radicals?

General Chalmers.

The Confederate General JAMES r. CHAL-
MERs has written letter that gives salts.
faction to the Radicals. He is willing to
make terms with the Radicals on the basis
OF the Military Reconstruction bill. He
thinks the bill unconstitutiona and de-
grading but fears that terms more uncon-
stitutional and more degrading will be
forced upon the South, if she shall not &C.
cept the situation under this bill. He pro-
fesses to believe in secession, and to believe
the South did seceGe and thereby became
an independent nation; that she was an in
dependent nation when conquered, and
that by reason of that the United States
have right to prescribe new terms. If the
South is conquered nation, instead of ar
integral part of the Union, the measure;
the Radicals propose are not unconstitu-
tional. They may be degrading and un
worthy an age that is considered pre-.
eminent for its civilization.
The Southern States are not in the atti
tude of a conquered nation. Even were the
doctrine of secession true-did the Consti-
tuition extend to it all implied sanction, YET
the Southern States were thwarted in their
purpose of building up an Independent
Confederacy by the strong arm of the Fed
eral Government. The Southern States
were held in their respective places in the
Union. We can not consent to admit that
the Southern States did succeed in the es.
tablishment of ga foreign nation," even to
please such rebel Generals as CHALMERS,
because it is not true.

DIR. Livingstone.
'ecent cable dispatch announced that

A recent cable dispatch announced that
DIR. Livingstone, the celebrated African
traveller, had been killed by the Caffres.-
The N e1o YOrk Tribune furnishes the follow
ing brief memoir of this eminent man:
"Mr. Livingstone was born at Blantyre,
upon the banks of the Clyde, near Glasgow.
in 1917. AS youth he earned his liveli-
hood in the cotton mills of Blantyre, but by
hard labor he was enabled to pursue, during
the winter months, his studies at Glasgow.
As he grew up he resolved to devote him
self to the life of missionary, hoping that
Africa or China would be the scene of his
labors. After studying medicine and the
ology, he offered his services, in 1888, to the
London Missionary Society, and was ac-
cepted. He reached the shores of Africa in
the summer of, 1910. For sixteen years
(l940-5G) he labored at various stations in
South Africa. In 1856 the Royal Geograph-
ical Society of England conferred upon him
the Victoria or Patrons gold medal. In the
same year, DR.. Livingstone successfully
made journey across Southern Africa
He visited England in 1885, and met with a
magnificent reception. In 1853 he returned
to Africa and continued his geographical
explorations. His works on his travels in
Africa have had an immense sale, and en-
deared his name to tens of thousands in
both hemispheres." 80

Correction.

In the Legislative proceedings as pub
lished yesterday, Mr.. BLOOMS substitute
was inaccurately reported. We print it
corrected. Mr.. STANToN's resolution being
under consideration,
Mr.. Bloom offered the following as a
substitute to the amendment and resolution:
ResolUed, That the Congress of the Unit
ed States, at the commencement of the late
civil war, declared that it should not be
waged on the part of the Government for
the purpose of overthrowing or interfering
with the rights of these States, but to de-
fend and maintain the supremacy of the
Constitution, and to preserve the Union,
with all the dignity, equality and rights of
the several States unimpaired.
Resolued, That upon the enforcement of
these propositions in the manner declared
bfT0 fTftfT of tiso- 60vefnIheIG pledged
an appeal to the arbitrament of arms taken;
the lives and properly of our citizens free
ly offered; and upon these propositions was
brought to successful termination.
ReSOEUed, That secession having failed, il
follows that the Constitution has been main
taincd. that the Union has been preserved,
with all the dignity, equality and rights of
the several States unimpaired and that the
people of those States are, therefore, now
entitled TO equal representation in the Con-
gress of the United States, by Representa-
tives having the qualifications prescribed
by the Constitution of the United States,
and the laws passed in pursuance thereof.
ResolUed, That as. during the war, the
Government of the United States could not
with honor recede from the position as
sumed so now it cannot without dishonor
exact other terms not declared during the
existence of the war and unauthorized by
the Constitution of the United States.
Mr.. Bloom moved to lay the aubstitute
on the table to print. Disagreed to.
Mr.. Gardner demanded the previous
question, which was sustained-yeas 4S,
nays 20, "a strict party vote,)
The substitute was rejected-yeas 25,
nays 80. "a strict party vote.)

Departure of the Nh. e. Church
from its Original l. md Marks.

from its Original l. md Marks.
The change that has taken place in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, during the
past ten or fifteen years, is of such radical
character that the old landmarks are quite
lost to sight and old-fashioned Methodists
feel little at home in modern church socie-
ties.
Originally, the rules of this church. or
ganization required the most rigid sim
plicity in all things, and its members were
essentially utilitarian in all their habits
and practices. Church members were ex-
pected, if not required, to dress in the
plainest possible manner, for the purpose
of avoiding that contrast in dress which
is sometimes so annoying to the poor who
cannot appear in garments corresponding
in richness with those worn by their more
wealthy neighbors. Another token of her
regard for the poor and unlearned was
found in her ''class meetings." where few
only met together to worship, thus reliev-
| ing the unlearned from the embarrass-
ments that would naturally attend their
worship in a large assemblage of persons.
These were benevolent and christian
features of the NJ. E. Church that we al
ways admired. They were designed to aid
| tlan. DOOR and -unlearned in becoming o.
christians, by making them feel that, in the
eyes of God and christian men, wealth
made no distinction-that the poor were as
much beloved by the Creator as the rich
that every obstacle that would have a
tendency to prevent the poor and illiterate
from hnn Svarr A.
should be removed, and that vanity and its
evil attendants should be expelled from
their church organizations.
These were all admirable features and at
tracted to that church the great mass of the
Protestant poor. 1t embraced within its
folds numerous, but not wealthy class
of people, and exerted an influence upon
society at large greater than that of any
other religious denomination.
In many localities it is no longer recog-
niZed as the most suitable harbinger for
Gods poor, but has allowed vanity to sup
plant Christian humility, and costly church
editices to be erected with the means that
formerly were devoted to the dissemination
of the Gospel among the poor. In some
localities the NJ. E. Church edifices are of
the most magnificent character, and M. E
Church members are the most aristocratic
citizens. Their pews are sold out at rates
altogether too high for poor people, who
are thus very quietly and unceremoniously
shut out, in effect, from the church which,
in former<years, gave them hearty well
come. In one locality in this State, where
a society has been involved to a large
amount in the erection of a costly edifice,
at a recent mite society, given to raise
means for paying off a portion of the in
debtedness, they actually had fiddling and
dancing! Think of that, ye Methodists OF
twenty years ago! and then ask yourselves
the cause of this departure from thee
landmarks of the church. Have we not
stated facts
