The PowEGs OF THE COMMANDMENTS FROM
GENERAL H4scocE on TIE SrBJECT.-Judge w Z.
Cooley says the New Orleans Times having addressed
note to Gen. Hancock iuquirng whether the General
would enforce ordinance passed by the Convention
to stay execution all Judgments rendered and to
he rendered by State courts until January, 1870 upon
certain condtons received the following reply 1t is
needless for say that Judge Cooley was aware of
the fac. that the Convention had no power to act
the subject:
HEADQUARTERS FIFTH HrI.r74R7 DISTRICT,
OFFICE OF SECRETARY FOB CIVIL AFFAIRS,
New Orleans, La, Jan. IS, 1868.
Hon Y. Il. Cooley, New Orleans, Louisiana:
SF-lhe AiJor General commanding directs me to
acknowledge The receipt OF your letter Of the 18TH
Inst, IN whicn you ask whether he Z" will enforce an
ordinance which the Constitutional Convention NAV
adopt. providing for stay CT execution on all iudg-
nrns rendered i'll this State by State courts until the
is OF January, 1870, excepting judgments for taxes
and for wages Of aboreTs, exc and in reply to call
your attention to the tth and 9Th sectios Of tic act
OF Congress passed ON the 23d March, 1867 defining
the powers Of the Convention. By the first Of these
sections it is enacted that " when organised. it shall
proceed to frame constitution and civil government
according to the provisions of this and the
which it is supplementary and the 9Th section pro-
vides that the Convention for each State fhaL pre-
scribe the fees salary and compensation be paid
all delegates anu other officers and agents herein
horsed necessary carry into effect the purposes
of this acs not herein Otherwise provided for, and
shall provide for the levy and collection of such taxes
on the property IL eacb State may De necessary TO
pay the same"
From these provisions it is ciesr that the Convention
is clothed with the extraordinary power Of framing
constitution and cisii government, etc, and that it
possesses no authority deal with Subjects Of ord
narf legislation, except to levy and provide for the
collection Of taxes TO pay its members, officers. etc
And as tile ordnance 70 which YOU refer in yoar let
ser il entirely foreign the framing Of constitution
and civil government, appears to the Major General
commanding that such ordinance. II passed BY the
Convention would be without any validity.
Very respectfully, your obeden; servant, T

Judge. -"This court can have nothing

Lawyer -"But your, honor, this case
was brought by an administrator, and you
cannot, under law, force him to give Sc
curity."
Judge -'Mr. H., this court, if it
knows itself, is presumed to know the law,
and it does not sit here to be dictated to
by lawyers"
Lawyer I'VE your honor, if this
is your decision. know my remedy; l

THE SPHINX,

Dresd warder of an ancient land,
Thou wo~drous form of changeless stone,
Rsignisg DER leagues of shiftless sand,
Unnumbered ages for thy throne;
9igmies, we gaze and pass away
now, Cambyses yesterday.
Dim memories of forgotten things
Haunt those large eyes; the shepherd chiefs,
The victor's crewn-the pride of kings,
Fen meaner mortars lesser griefs;
Tanst thou recall old Menes' face!
Hast bowed before Rhodopes grace!
Those grand lack-lustre eyes perchancs
Saw Helen like goddess move;
And Alexander's hateful trance
That ruined lion for her love;
Didst hear stern Proteus quick dismiss
The wretch who married a guest-friepd's bliss ?
Vain-worse than vain-no word comes thro'
Thy lips cold portals Thou hast seen
The conq'ring Mede, the crafty Jew,
Greek sages Antony's dark queen;
Is it to their ghosts in yon soft haze
Thou turn'st that everlasting gaze?
Great Horns, answef-art thou mutes
Hast thou no responsive chords for eve,
Like Morn old yot'ry? l salute
Thine awful silence. Let me weave
Ny puny fancies, knowing well
Man may not learn tn Inscrutable.
What though thy buried secret sleeps
In far Ogygian icons? Still
The daily sunshine DER thee creeps,
And so for unknown ages will;
And men shall view thy massive brow,
And marvel at lis calm, as now.
Ewes rich glow fingers round thy head,
And ligh's thy melancholy face,
AS loving all its gold to shed
On the last monarch of thy race;
Slow fade the purple tints--farewell!
Deep are thy thoughts-too deep to tell.

Hartford and vicinity still flourish. School
and Church in capital condition. At the pro-
tracted. meeting which closed week ago on
Eagle creek, thirty-eight joined the church.
Bro. McAnulty has been laboring week or so
here, and already thirty eight have been added
to the church, and the meetings are increasing
in interest. Almost every young lady and
gentleman connected with the school have
Joined thu church. The work is almost like
the effort with which Bro. MacBurney closed
his year at Baldwin City, but not so extensive
yet. The community is wide awake, and OF
course Prof. Chambers is doubly pleased with
his school.
The spring-like weather we have had has set
farmers to work, and blowing and sowing are
the order now.
Trade is not very brisk. Town lots and
small parcels of land have been changing hands,
and some are preparing to go to the new Ger
