THE LONG TOMORROW.

Old age, that strains the web of life,
And checks that shuttle's eager PAGES,
Brings rest from all the worlds vain strife,
And leaves an old man to old faces,
And still my heart beats warmly yet,
Although grandchildren play before me,
And can easily forget
That eighty summers have passed DER me,
Sweet maiden with the downcast eyes,
To whom my grandson gaily chatters,
And treasures up the low replies
You make on many foolish matters;
l wonder, when a dearer name
He whispers through those shining tresses
If you'll believe I've done the same,
And thrilled heart with my caresses
And when my youngest Joined his ship,
So fearful at the sad home faces,
Shrunk at his mothers qutvering lip,
The while he sighed for far off places
wonder if he ever thought
| had my dreams of earth and glory;
But silvered hairs have sternly taught
The worth of that heroic story.
And often in the may throng,
When little feet are lightly dancing,
And as each maiden whirls along
The bonny eyes give sWeeter glancing,
sit apart and idly dream
That my fair youth has not departed,
And older hopes and fancies seem
To leave me far more tender-hearted.
My life's gay spring had many joys,
The summer brought me loves first roses
The autumn gave me my brave boys,
wait until the winter Closes
Each season has in order brought
The mingled flowers of JOY and sorrow,
And many an earnest lesson taught
And so | wait the long tomorrow

Let Us Have Peace.

A gentleman of great intelligence, of
wide acquaintance, acquired during many
years of residence there, with the business
interests Of the South, and controlling
large amounts of capital now being invest
ed there under his immediate supervision,
writes thus encouragingly to friend in
this city: "Crops here are promising, and
altogether | consider that the darkest hour
has passed, and that our morning of pros
perity is dawHing. With Grant for Presi-
dent, settled government, and favorable
seasons We can not but have success"
Other letters from the same source eX-
press the strongest desire for General
Grants election as being necessary to the
best interests of the country. The writer
is no politician, but is busily engaged in the
prosecution of industrial enterprises of
great importance, on the success of which
depend all his hopes Of repairing heavy
losses suffered during the war. Men Of his
class can not afford to have the practical
reconstruction of their section retarded by
the reopening of the questions raised by
secession and answered by the success Of
the national arms. They do not like the
Blair revolutionary programme. They
want quiet and perceive that a "settled
government" is the great need .ot the
South, and re-echo with all their hearts the
noble sentiment of the great soldier, "Lel
us have peace"-a peace resting on the
solid foundations of national justice and hui

The Wells Claim.

Ex-Governor Wells, of Louisiana, has
laid out for himself an extensive and eontin-
uOus line of employment for the rest of his
lite. He is going into the claim business
on his own account, and has already flied
his papers. He has sent to the Legislature
of Louisiana a claim for salary as Govern
or, from the time that he was removed from
Office by General Sheridan, June 3, 1867.
At that time General Sheridan finding that
Wells was endeaVoring to corruptly use his
authority for the benefit of himself and his
party friends, and to the injury of the peo-
pie OF the State, removed him as "an i'm
pediment to the execution of the recon-
struction law" And although Wells pro-
fessed to be Radical, there was no dissent
in that party or among Democrats as to the
justice of the act Since that time LOuisi-
ana has had three governors under the re-
construction law. Benjamin F. Flanders
succeeded Wells, and on the third of Janu-
airy 1865, Joshua Baker succeeded Flanders;
about the beginning of July Henry G. War
moth was appointed in the place of Baker.
Warmoth is the Governor elect, but the
State government will not be completed
until the fourteenth Constitutional amend
ment is ratified and transmitted to Wash
ington, with proclamation issued thereon.
Wells complains to Legislature elected
under the reconstruction laws, and by
reason of authority given in those statutes
presses his claims before that body. It is
not likely that they will be regarded. But
being once pressed, Wells will bring them
up at every session hereafter, and, we pre-,
sumo, has. hopes that they will eventually
be paid. This may be doubtful. Wells
has no friends among the Republicans and
none among the Democrats. He will live
a long time before it is paid, and his ex.
ecutors will return the claim among his as
sets as hopeless. '-Phuddelphta Inquirer

sure protection to every honest man in the
republic. Then say. "We will resist to
the death this measure of iniquity, this
measure that compels you to admit the re-
gro to .perpetuity of suffrage with your
selves" These laws strike, as at blow,
all these brave and noble men from among
you who have been with you for the last
sixty years. Your Legislators, your judges
your friends-thOse who ia all seasons stood
by you and with you, are cast of by horde
OF carpet baggers and negro slaves, who
are the legislators of the present. So nu-
merous and powerful are the evils which
these people have inflicted upon you that
shrink from recounting them. The enor-
mites which we daily behold in every part
OF the country need no portrayal here. do
not, therefore, believe that there is a man
within the sound of my voice, nor an hon
est man anywhere, who will require any
inducement to join the ranks of the
Democratic party of the United
States. General Grant tells you
he wants peace What sort of peace? The

That is the peace that General Grant
wants. | will tell you another fact, which
is enough for this time, that as the late war
was produced by the defeated Democratic
party in 1860, we shall never have peace
until it is restored in 1868 If General
Grant wants peace, let him join the Demo-
cratic party. (Cheers.) l say, by God,
that neither despOtism nor tyranny, nor in
justice, meets with peace in this world, or
the next. We want no peace in chains;
peace worthy of freedom we want; and as
we have now no possibility of fighting with
the sword, let us fight with the baIlot-box.
