u. 5. SENAToR.-On the 20th ult. the
Legislature elected Hon. Eugene Casserly to
represent California in the United States
Senate, for six years, commencing March
4th, 1869. Although a Democrat in political
sentiment, Mr.. Casserly is liberal in his
views on questions of publich import and his
actions have ever been free from that harrow
hess and bigotry which characterizes many
of our public men. But while we accord
these merits to Mr.. Casserly personally, we
regret the circumstances that rendered his
election possible over some one of the many
able Union men Of the State. However, we
recognize the fact that regrets are now un-
ayailing, but we may be allowed to express
the hope that the Long Hair element Of the
Union party are now thoroughly satisfied
and highly pleased with the natural result Of
their labors and Engagement in the late
campaign, by which they succeeded in giving
the State over to the control of the Democ-
racy Now is the time for all good Long
Hairs to rejoice, for the practical results of
their andiwork are becoming manifest to
the minds Of the most obtuse.

And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace earth, good ,oiU to men
LoNGFELLOw
Oh, merry bells, fold up your Ginning
The hearts that are strangled in grief,
Whose slow measure pulses are riming
In dungeons as cold and as deaf
AS earth's tyrants, cry "pitiless anthems"
To your tripping voiced gold footed, notes:
"Your peace and good will are but phantoms
Rung out from the bells merry threats
Intangible, sweet, lying phantoms-
All born of the bells brazen throats"
Peace and good will! Oh, sweet error
That folds the sad earth in lie
Wbv bells, from your black mouths of horror,
Sing "peace" while men sicken and die?
Die meath the hoofs of the charger,
Or mold in the dew of the cell,
While the throats of the bells cape out larger,
And laugh out their merry "all WE'LL"
And the earth is tramped red by the charger,
And devils laugh joyous in help

Pimpette.-

BY T. IRWIN. DUBLIN, IRELAND.
Ny heart was like little isle
Whose commerce sailed all Fancys sea
Its imports, kisses sweet and wine,
It's exports, wit and gayety.
Its government, before met
It's potent conqueror, Pimpette,
Was republic, where all eyes
That beamed gave birth to codes of signs;
But when her bright orbs, black as coal,
Wrought revolution in my soul,
The smiles once represented there
Soon vanished into thinnest air;
And she, delightful despot sole,
Holds charming empire in my soul.

Back, back, gay Roulade, to your steeple,
Our land knows no "peace and good WILL"
You but sing Ger the graves of the people,
For tyrants that torture and kill.
Go tell your degenerate masters
You came to our hearths and we said,
"While we sup on despair and disasters,
And our hearts are as tombs for the dead,
Well not dance for your pitiless masters
On the hearts and the graves of our dead"
Lord, see how the devils have taken
Thy words from thy pitiful mouth,
And from silver tongued bells are they shaken,
From the famine faced West to the South,
"Peace and good WILL" while they're flying
Like focks of winged songs thro the air,
Our nation looks up to thee signing,
And chlls thee with eyes of despair;
And her mighty souled children are dying
In the prisons black death-dripping air.
Oh, jewellers in still dungeons hoary,
Great soldiers of failure and fame,
Yours is the sorrow of glory,
While ours is the freedom of shame.
On the red roll of Liberty, we men,
Clasped mute in your cold prison graves,
OF our race, ye alone are the freemen,
While we are the fetterless slaves.
In prisons and graves are our freemen,
Outside are the fetterless slaves.
Ring out merry bells, your sweet voice is
The soul of fatal belief
That leads us to grief and rejoices
Above the deep sea of our grief.
Laugh aloud from your homes in the seeple,
-, clo 10 tIo 1;frbt
AS from the crushed hearts of the people
The great keen of silence doth flow,
Up, up past your homes in the steeple,
From dark homes of ruin below.
Burst in with your pitiless laughter
To tenantless homes where the daw
Will sail down from his throne on the rafter,
To welcome your merry cha, ha."
Sing Peace and good wilP to King Famine,
Who rules over ruins and graves;
To his reign of lamenting cry "Amen,"
Tall steeples and collins and slaves
Will flourish while reigns great King Famine
The breeder of beggers and slaves
By the graves of the sweet hours departed
AS we sit, and our sad spirit swells
To the anthems of the broken hearted,
They mock us with jingling of bells.
They cry tally-ho from the steeple,
And fling out fox-hunting chime,
While the grief-laden hearts of the people
Are marching to funeral time.
To prisons and graves march the people,
Unawed, unsubdued and sublime.
Oh, merry bells, fold up your voices;
Back to your homes, tinkling slaves;
Cursed be the heart that rejoices,
When tyrants give nothing but graves.
When the dead from the earth shall have risen,
And the slave shall say master no more,
And Freedom raps loud at the prison,
And the reign of King Famine is Ger,
When Right holds the key of the prison,
Well have merry bells Ginning galore.

a Pretty Ballet Girl Abandens the
Stage for n Life Of ShRme-The Sad
story of Her Temptation and Fall.
The temptations surrounding poor girl
in the struggle for an honest livelihood,
are far more than the cold charity of the
big, unfeeling world ever takes into ac-
count when, at the first false step, il closes
It's doors against her forever. When the
portals Of that living death to which she
is driven close behind her, there is 40
angel voice to call her back to rectitnde
and the purity of a Christian life. No
music Of happy home can ever again greet
her longing ear, and there is naught but
the wailing Of her own lost soul to tell her
Of what might have been"
Many of the theater-goers of this city
will remember a very pretty girl at the
Adelphi Thea;er, who during the manage
ment Of Joel Davis, and at various times
before and since, figured in the ballet of
that grand old temple Of Thespis and had
among the younger class of amusement
seekers numberless admirers Her slight,
graceful figure, and artless ways were cal
any susceptible young man, though her
small features and chubby, dimped chin
showed little of the force of character so
necessary to young lady occupying her
position.
She was poor, living with her widowed
mother, and chose the stage "a means OF
securing the scsnt livelihood which she
was compelled to earn. Naturally of
| vivacious turn, she soon formed &C
| quaintances among the many admirers
who sought her company, and among 9th
ers, met a handsome young clerk of one Of
our large cotton houses. Falling in love
with him. she forgot all ia the wild pas
sion of her ardent nature, and he, not SLOW
| to take advantage of her weakness, became
her seducer. Though they we're frequently
seen together, until recently nothing was
known of their unhallowed relationship,
and the dreadful stroke fell with crushing
effect upon the poor mother and only sister
| of the unfortunate girl. Her brother-in-
law, anxious to conceal her disgrace, siren
uously endeavored to obtain her consent to
a marriage with her seducer, but she per
sistently refused to listen, saying that she
had gone too far ever to retrace her steps,
and that che preferred life of shame to
the position which she would necessarily
occupy after what had occurred.
This terrible resolution she firmly adj
hered to, and a night or two since packed
mp her clothing and abandoned her home,
going to notorious bagnio OH North Vine
street, and entering upon a career of infa-
my under the devilish tutorage Of Satan's
emi-saries in that neither hell, leaving a
heari-broken mother and sister to bear as
best they may the fearful burden of dis
grace she has heaped upon them.

Little Deaderick was again thrown into
feverish state at seven o'clock yesterday
morning, by the discovery that the Office
Of Justice Brien had been broken into
during the night, and the gambling appa-
ratus seized on the day previous, spirited
away through some agency unknown. The
doors were found locked as they had been
left, andit was sUrmised that the place had
been entered through rear window, but
nobody ventured to commit himself upon
the matter.
The hour coming aronnd for the trial Of
McCarty and Coleman, two of the proprie-
tors of the establishments taken up by the
police, the usual proceedings were had,
and it was supposed that the parties would
give bonds for their appearance before the
Criminal Court, but Justice Brien declared
the cases were not bailable, and ordered
the defendants into the custody of the
Sheriff, to be taken to Jail. They were not
lodged in Jail, however but applied to
Judge John III. Smith for writ of hGteas
corpus, which was granted, and upon an
investigation of the matter, Judge Smith
declared the cases bailable, aud the pris-
oners were released on giving bonds.
Both McC4rty and Coleman were then re-
arrested and taken before Justice Brien,
on charge of keeping gaming houses, and
