Faint and fainter come. my breath +;
And these shadows stealing slowly
Must, know, be ta"se of death.
Sit down close beside me. daring
Let me clasp your warm strong h'ho'
Yeurs that ever has sustained me-
To the borders Of this land.
For YOUR God and mins-our Fatnei
Thence shall ever lead me on;
Where upon throne eternal,
Sits His loved and only Son
I've had visions and been dreaming
Der the past of joy and pain,
Year by year I've wandered backward,
Till was a child again.
Dreaming of eirlhood, and the moment
When stood your wife and bride,
How my heart filled Loves triumph,
In that hour of woman's pride.
Dreaming Of thee ard all the earth chords
Firmly twin-d about my heart
Oh the bitter burning anguish,
When first knew we must part.
It has 2assed--and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend;
he that's more than friend or brother,
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow Ger the portals,
Leading to nv heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal,
And It's lie that bids me come.
When life's trials await around thee,
And its chilling billows swell;
Thoul't thank heaven that I'm spared them,s
Thoul't then feel that ''ai is well;
Bring our boys unto my bedside;
Nv last blessing let them keep
But they're sleeping do not wake them
They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them often OF their mother,
Kiss them for me when they wake,
Lead them gently in iife's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake,
Clasp my hand still closer, darlin
This, the last night of my life;
For Tomorrow shall never
Answer when you call me 'swi'e,
Fare thee we'll my noble husband,
Fan, not 'nea-h the chast'ning rod;
Tbroy YOUR strong arm 'rouni oar children,
Keep them close rhee-and God.

A Hard Hit.

The freedmen in Kentucky held a
convention lately, and the Presi-
dent on taking the chair, made a
sensible and excellent speech, clos
ing as follows:
"We don't ask for social equali-
ty. Inever saw that white woman
yet that looked so well, in my eyes,
as a good brown colored woman.
And if it wasn't so, we don't need
their social equality doctrine, be-
cause our friends, the white folks,
have kindly managed it so that we
have every shade to choose from,
from the deepest jet black to the
purest white. Laughter] And as
there are no ladies present allow me
to say that the practice of social
equality has not been on our side,
but on the part of the whites, who,
in their dark and devious ways,
swere not always able, let us charlta-
bly, suppose, to tell black from
white. This social equality has not
been sought by us; but they have
run after us; and though we have
been emancipated and free they
haven't stopped. IA yoice-We'll
stop it when we get the testimony.
Yes, that's so. They had better
not come my way even now. We
say to them, Let us alone; we don't
want any mixture If they had
left me alone l mil hit have known
what color l was; but as it is, my
greatest trouble is to keep my hair
Just right. Don't talk about social
equality. If l was white man in
Kentucky, 1 would hide my head;
/ wouldn't t mention it, with so many
evidences standing around of my
social equality. We don't want
any more of it. Keep on your own
side of the line, and we'll keep on
our side; and in the course of time
wen get back where God left us. "
[Cheers and applause.

Under the gag rule of the pre-
vious question IN each House of the
Legislature of this State, resolu-
ton has passed by q strictly party
vote, resembling the joint resolu-
ton passed January 1lth, 1867,
(last session., ratifying the l4th
amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States. When the pre-
vious question is called, according
to the rule, all debate upon the
question is cut Off The Democra-
cy are determined to put the gag
upon all who wish to exercise the
right of free discussionupon ques-
tions involving their policy, when
they know they cannot stand the
ordeal Of fair investigation. Their
resembling resolutions only amount
to an exhibition Of their indomita
bic perverseness. The Constitution
of the United States has been
amended by the vote of the requi-
site number Of States, and Congress
will not probably authorize the
States to nullify their acts by an
other amendment.

this kind was passed by the Demo.
cratic Legislature of this State a
few years since, (moybe in 1850

State. 1t had been previously de-
clored by the Supreme Court
more than once that where
there was q preponderance

THE INAUGURATION.

Coy. Hayes and Lieut., Gov Lee
the newly elected Governor ana
Lieutenant Governor of this State,
were inaugurated on Monday last,
We will publish their inaugural ad-
dresses next week.
Upon this occasion the Demo
cratic members showed their pre-
dominant spirit of intolerance tow
ards a class of men who took up
arms, and assisted with their lives
in their hands, as it were, to put
down the rebellion, and save the
Union from destruction by South
ern rebels. Among those invited
to participate or to be pres
ent at the Inauguration, was the
Columbus Military companies. But
the Democratic members Of the Leg
islature, true to their instructive ha-
tired of the colored race, and es-
pccially of that portion who helped
to thrash their Southern Democrat
ic friends during the war, ascertain
ell that there was a colored Compa-
ny in the city, and that the invita-
ton to "the Military, in the alb
sence of any exception, was an in
yitation to the colored military as
well as to the white military, and
that this invitation was given, too,
by the votes of Democratic mem
bers. Here was mice Of alarming
proportions that must be extracted
from the invitation so they amend
ed the resolution Of invitation by
inserting the word "white" before
military. The amendment was car
ried by a strictly party vote, and
the Democracy thus exhonerated
themselves from the charge of in
viting negro soldiers to become
their equals; and the invitation,
when correctly interpreted, reads:
"The military of Columbus, mig
gers ercepted, are invited to be
present at the inauguration"

- The Senate Of the U, S., have
re-instated Mr.. Stanton as Secreta-
ry of War. 1t is supposed by some
that the President will now remove
Mr.. Stanton, and appoint some one
else to the position, and others sup
posed that Mr., Stanton, being now
satisfied and sustained against the
arbitrary will of a President who
has deserted the principles upon
which he was elected, will resign.

Standing Committaes.

The Legislature Of this State,
which has majority of Democrats
in it, in order to take the appoint
ment of standing COMMITTEES in the
Senate from the Lieutenant Gov
crnor, who is a Republican, have
changed the rule, and put the ap-
pointing power in the hands of a
special committee made up of ma
jority of their own party.
We notice that Col. Yeoman, the
Senator from Fayette, Greene and
Clinton, is put upon the following
standing committees:
Claims, Corporations, Roads and
Highway, and State Buildings. The
committee, we observe, have taken
especial pains to put no Union man
as chairman of any important com
mittee, and generally the Union
men occupy "back Seats" on the
standing committees. Having adopt
ed q new rule for the appointing of
standing committees in the Senate,
the Speaker is of their own politi-
ical persuasion, for the purpose of
claiming consistency, have also
changed the rule in the House, and
the standing COMMITTEES
by a special committee chosen for
that service.
Col. Kerr, the Representative
from this county, is placed upon the
following standing committees:
Claims, and Corporations. AS
in the Senate, Republicans are per-
mitted to occupy rear seats on these
committees. Col. Kerr is an old
member, and has experience as a
legislator, yet he has no place on
any important committee, and is at
the rear end OF the two committC G
upon which he is placed.

Some effort is being made in
the Legislature of this State, to re-
peal the law authorizing the con-
struction of free turnpike roads in
counties where a majority of the
people interested in such roads, ask
the Co. Commissioners to assess the
necessary tax and construct such
roads in accordance with the pro
vision of the existing law of this
State.

sion: He states that an attempt by

the payment of the debt in accord
