DIRGE OF SUMNER.

All in the arms Of autumn lying.
Fading flowers round her signing,
Summer sick and sad is dying.
Now no more shall she be seen,
In the evening deep serene,
Wearing garlands white and green
Fold herin a winding sheet,
Woven all Of blossoms meet
For the shrOud Of maiden sweet
Crimson rose and lily white
Al she had of best and bright
Long have vanished from the light.
Gather autumn 5 palest flowers,
Dank with autumn softest showers
Bring them to her leafess bowers.
Then through winters icy gloom,
She shall rest as in the toub;
Sheeted snow shall shr0ud her bloom
Shroud her bloom, but not forever;
MOrtals die, but seasons never.
When the chains of winter sever,
Spring shall wake her up again,
Lead her forth TO bill and plain,
over wiling hearts to reign.

the spirit Of the whole shows that the
rebels want Democratic victory. As soon
as it is gained, they propose to quit their
tranquil state, They win then reorgauize
as rebels. They viii defy national author
ity! They win Kill the negroes. They
will drive out all northerners who have
settled among them They will have a
war ofraces, and possibly a southern Demo
cratic republic upon diplomatic terms with
another in the North But whatever they
may elect 10 do, they win do as they please,
and will do all they can TO hurt the North.

The BLACKS TO THE WHITES. The ad-
dress Of the negroes of South Carolina to
their white fellow citizens is very significant,
The point of this address is in the following
sentence:
"And if we are to be massaered because
we refuse to vote the Democratic ticket; if
we are to be murdered in cold blood because
we will not sell our manhood, then ltt come
we can die but once, and if, as you state,
thirty millions Of white men are going to fall
upon four millions because they are black,
and will not vote for Horatio Seymour and
F. 2. Blair for President and Vice President
of the United States, both of whom have
declared that the negroes have no right to
vote, then 1oe are prepared to die, Lut not to
vote 10 be killed I"
We do no. think logic could be stronger
than this

paper laws
l. A Postmaster is required to give notice By
letter. returning paper does not answer the Law
when a subscriber does not take his paper cut Of
the office, and state the reasons for its not being
taken; and neglect to do so makes the POstnas-
ter repsoRsibie 70 the publishers for the payment
2, Any person who takes paper from the Post
Office, whether directed to hs name or smother, or
whether be has subscribed or not Is responsible
for the pay.
3. If person orders his paper discontinued, he
must pay all arrearages. or the publisher may
continue 10 send it until payment is made, aud
collect the whole amount, l1Aetier Il be taken 5r9m
the office or aot There can be no legal discontin-
uence until the payment is made.
T. If the subscriber orders his paper 10 be
stopped al a certain time, and the publisher con
tinues to send the subscriber is bound to pay for
il, Il BE takes q oRt Of Ae Post Q6iee- The law
proceeds upon the ground that q must pay
for what he uses.
s. The courts have decided that refusing TO take
newspapers and periodicals from the Post Office,
or removing and having them HEcalled for, Is

TuAT ANNUAL REDUCTION oFTHE STATE
DIRT There are two sublime results before
which the Democracy are now utterly dumb
founded One is the election in Vermont
which ogerwheims the conservative with
some thing Ike the effect produced by
Union victories during the war. The other
is the fact that while John f. Hartranft
has been Auditor General, the State debt
has been reduced at the rate almost Of mil
lion and half annually. There Is no es-
cape from such results. The Democracy
may iterate and reiterate charges Of mis-
management against the Republican party,
but figures show that the debt of Pennsyl
vania has been annually reduced 81 344,092
IA. This is historical. 1t is part of the
official record. Why don't the Democracy
give the figures in the Vermont election, as
well as those showing the annual reduction
of the State debt?
