FREEDMEN IN DELAWARE AND MARY
LAND revet Major Gen. E. NJ. Gregory,
Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's
Bureau for the States of Delaware and Mary
land, has rendered his report for the quarter
ending March 81, 1867. The General states
that the general condition OF the eolored
people coming under his observation while
in Delaware was satisfactory. Labor seemed
abundant, and no evidences OF idleness were
apparent. Thus far no complaints of inabil-
ity to secure justice through the civil courts
of the State have been received from freed
men, and the influence of the Bureau in the
State has only been exertcd IN the cause Of
education. 1t will be impracticable, he
thinks, to fully make known and extend
through Delaware the object OF the Bureau,
other than educational, unless the State is
constituted a subdistrict, in charge of an
officer stationed at Wilmington or some
other central point.

there is no saying when and where 1t may
again bloom forth Does not almost every
body remember some kind hearted man who
showed him kindness in the dulcet days of
his childho0dg The writer orthis recollects
himself at this moment, as barefooted lad,
standing at the wooden fence OF poor little
garden in his native village, while with long
ing eyes he gazed on the flowers which were
blooming there quietly in the brightness of
Sunday morning The possessor came
forth from his little cottage; he was wood
cutter by trade, and spent the whole week
at work in the woods. He had come into
the garden to gather flowers to stick into his
coat when he went into church. He saw the
boy, and breaking off the most beautiful Of
his carnations-it was streaked with red and
white-he gave it to him. Neither the giver
nor the receiver spoke word; and with
bounding steps the boy ran home. And now
here, at vast distance from that home, after
so many events of SO many years, the feel
ing OF gratitude which agitated the breast
OF that boy expresses itself ON paper. The
carnation has long since withered, but now
it blooms afresh.-DOugldss Jerrold

OUT IN THE CoLD.-The Supreme Court
OF the United States has unanimously de.
cided that an injunction against the Presl.

from executing law of Congress cannot
hold, and in the case of Mississippi has
been denied. The court in its decision saws;

on the other hand the President complies
with the order OF the court, and refuses 10
execute the act of Congress, is it not clear
that collision may occur between the ex.
eculive and legislative departments of the
Government May not the House of Repre-.
srntatives impeach the President for such
retusalr and in that case could this court
lnterpose in behalf of the President, thus
endangered by compliance with its mandate,
and restrain, by injunction, the Senate of the
United States from sitting as a court of i'm.
parchment? Would not the strange specta.

attempt by this court TO arrest proceedings
in that court?
These questions answer themselves. Iii
True that State may file an original bill in

Died, in this city on Tuesday morning,

Funeral services were performed at Trinity
chapel, on Thursday morning, by the Rector
Rev. Charles Breck.
Tread lightly, speak gently,
For here 'neath the shade
VI the cypress and myrtle,
Sweet Elsie is laid.
Where the fragrant sweet,brlar
And the jessamines climb,
And the wild flowers blossom
10 the brooks mellow chime;
In the vale Of her birth,
Just in LIES summer morn
Perished Elsie; oh Elsiel
Thou hast left us forlorn.
SO graceful thy beauty,
So guileless thy truth,
OH why hast thou fallen
In the spring OF thy youths
Fair rose of our valley,
Like the roses of June,
Though withered, they still yield
A fragrant perfume;
So thy beauty still lyeth,
In our inner heart CLOVIS,
And hallowed sweetness
Ger our memory throws
When the Spring birds were Joyous,
And hilsides were green,
And the maple buds crimson,
And mignonette seen,
Her step was as light
AS the nimhle gazelle's,
And as blithe was her song
As the glad marriage bells,
Till death, cruel death,
Without warning came he,
In the bloom of her youth
Struck down lovely Elsie.
Then tread lightly, speak softly,
For here meath the shade
OF the cypress and myrtle,
her grave we have made;
Long the murmuring brooklet
Where the Yiolets bloom,
In the spot that she loved,
We have made her tomb
And though tears wet the grass
or her grave meath the tree.
Yet we know bright angel
Art thou, lovely Elsie. M.
