will not chide your falling tears;
Besides, no rebel sprout can grow
From out your cold, declining years.
Go. 90 and toddle to the hills
And make your bed where wild flowers wave;
Your mother nursed you by the rills.
Now let your cradle be your grave.
Ny dear, scarcely think you know
That God has banned this Irish cause
That but the vulgar dig below
The surface of our English laws
The land is free to pray and sigh
Here church and jail and poorhouse thrive
The bees that make the honey die.
The drones are masters of the hive.
Go to the hills and save your soul,
Leave food and freedom to the gross,
Your o'erfed lands brook no control
Thus Freedoms gain is Heavens great loss.
And those who persisted for Ireland's ills,
Oh! name them not to ears polite,
But hollow their graves among the hills,
Where they never can haunt our loyal sight.
And, now, since Owen, your son, is dead,
Purge out the fire from your lawless blood;
While Ireland is first in your heart and head,
Believe me you never can come to good.

Washington dispatch says if the Presi-
dent is convicted Tuesday, bill will be
introduced for such reconstruction OF
the Supreme Court as would get rid of
Chief Justice Chase, and under the rule
of Ben Wade, place Stanton at the head
of the highest Judiciary tribunal. :
The same dispatch says Senator Fow-
Ter, of Tennessee, fled his opinion
upon the llth Article Of Impeachment
yesterday. 1t is quite lengthy, covering
about fifty pages Of legal cap paper,
half of which is devoted to the lst Arti,
Gle, and the argument against the I'd
Article occupies eleven pages more.
The paper is very ably prepared,
and presents an overwhelming ar
ray of the most powerful ar
guments against every article of the list.
The filing of this opinion leaves only
Senator Ross, of the seven Republicans
required to defeat conviction, uncom-
mitted on the remaining ten articles.
The Conservatives of the Senate, on
Monday, will call for a committee Of, in
vestigation to probe the charges of Col.
Cooper against Senator Pomeroy.
The witnesses examined yesterday by
the impeachment managers were: Col.
Henderson, an Indian agent, Perry Full
Ter, Sunset Cox, Sam. Ward, Treasurer
Spinner and ]. +. Leggett. Cox testified
that be was at dinner given to
the Presidents counsel by Mr.. Wooley,
but, SO far as he knew, nothing beyond
some of Joe Miller's jokes, revomped by
Cox, could be recolected by witness.
Henderson, Fowler and Ward refused to
tell what they did with the money they
drew out of the bank. It was used, as
they said, for purposes wholly foreign to
the inquiry on foot, and was no business
Of the Committees T
A Times dispatch says that Leggett
testified that be never read or delivered
letter from Senator Pomery to Colonel
Cooper, and as far as he knew, Pomeroy
never wrote or authorized the writing OF
such letter. ,.
Mr.. Burlingame expresses his wish
that all political and partisan ovations
should be avoided in any reception that
might be rendered him in appearing
here, as the representative accredited of
another nationality.
The Worlds Washington dispatch
says no one there dares to send dispatch
by telegraph, particularly if abiding to
whisky, for fear of being summoned
before the Impeachment managers.
One of the witnesses yesterday testified
that he gave Banks enc thousand dollars
to help him get elected to Congress

that our Bill was seemingly doing the

Stokes, who, after having taken actual
service in the rebellion and written as
,vehemently as he could in defense Of it,
made oath at the doors of Congress that
he had never given it the slightest coun-
tenance, can have the affrontery to show
bis face and open his mouth before
public assemblage. He is a disgrace to
his ancestry, whatever the color of their
skins or the shape of their heels, shins,
lips, and noses may have been.
