The BALL-AKERs CONTROVERSY. In the
"Nebule" of the February number of the Gal
axy, Mr.. Richard Grant White has the follow
ing:
The great literary question of the day is,
Who wrote Crock me to sleep, mother?" up.
on which momentous subject Mr.. A. M. w.
Ball has loaded himself into book and fired
himself off upon an unresisting public; and
not content with this cruelty, has rammed
himself down very hard in the "Tribune," and
let himself off again, with the same purpose
and with equal effect. Well, we have read Mr..
Balls defence of his claim to the authorship of
Rock me to sleep, mother"-of which amaz-
ing performance we had scarcely heard until
we received this Ball in our brain, and which
is a very nice little poem in the sentimental
style-and without any knowledge of either
himself or Mrs. Akers, or of the dispute as to
the authorship in question, except Mr. Balls
own statement and the testimony which he
brings in to support his claim, upon that we
decide without hesitation that, whoever may
have written Crock me to sleep, mother" Mr.
Ball did not. Moreover, if he were the man to
have written 1t, he would not be the man to
make such fuss about it. 1t is right that Mr.
Ball should be told that he has in this matter
behaved very foolishly.

Political Notes.

President johnson, it is said, will not veto
the Authorization bill, but will allow it to
become law by withholding it beyond the
constitutional limitation OF ten days. Among
all his exploits in vetoing, it is quite remark
able that he should decline this admirable
chance. -
The New York Tribune well says of Doolit-
ties proposition to make one of three qualifi-
cations necessary for the negro before exercis-
ing the right of suffrage that it is as appropri-
ate to the present time as a proposition from
Pharaoh to release the Hebrews after the He
brews had got safely across, and the Egypt
ians were drowning. .1
Mr.. Thornton, the new English Minister, ar
rived in New York on Monday.
On Thursday and Friday of this week, the
Universal Peace Society is to hold its annual
convention in Washington, and very properly
in Harmonial hall. The circular calling the
convention is a peculiarly worked document
signed by Mr.. A. H. Love as president, who
declares I'VE are tired and sick of Glory to
Military Glory in the highest, on Earth War
and Destruction unto mankind"
General Cary of Ohio got great credit
among the Democrats for a series of flinpant
questions put by him to his colIepue Mr.
Bingham, in Congress few DAYS ago. but Il
is now discovered that he found them in a
Cincinnati paper and appropriated them to
his own use without credit.
1t is pity all our Congressman cannot sit
while speaking on reconstruction, if that atti-
tude would result in the Matching of as many
brilliant and logical ideas as Senator Morton
of Indiana expressed in his great speech in
reply to Doolittle The speech ought to be
spread broadcast over the land as a campaign
document
The Copperheads of Connecticut manifest
much alarm from the fact that Grant and
Jewell are both tanners. They think they
see their hides on the fence.
The New York Evening Post saws of the
Southern Conventions: "We have watched
attentiyely the action of the Southern convap-
tions, and it is due to their members f,. tho
most part men accustomed to public lifa---,o

decorum and have exhibited no desire 70 ~,

contrary, the constitution of Alabama the only

We make the following extract from an "Es-
say on the Commerce and Transportation of
the Valleys of the Great Lakes and Rivers of
the North West, by Alvin Bronson, ESQ.," re-
Gently published by direction of the Oswego
Board of Trade:
The Mississippi and st. Lawrence offer the
cheap routes to this trade; the former conducts
to low latitude, unfriendly to northern pro-
ducts; the latter to high latitude unfavOra-
bic to early and late navigation. New York,
Boston and Portland are competitors for the
residue and doubtless the major part of this
trade. The natural advantages of these three
points are so equally balanced that the share
of each will depend on the facilities provided
by each in railroads, harbors and warehouses,
as well as in the enterprise liberality and fair
dealings of their merchants. New York and
Portland each possess unrivalled harbors; are
each, or soon will be, connected with the lakes
with railroads of about equal length, or about
400 miles each. Mr.. Bronson must have refer
ence to the distance from Portland to Oswego,
as the distance from Portland to Ogdensburg
Uid the Notch will be less than $40 miles /
New York has her Erie of 433, and the Cen
trail & Hudson River of 440 miles, while Port
land has the Collingwood, between Lakes HUI
ron and Ontario, of 81, and the Ogdensburg
& Lake Champlain of III miles, with still a
link to be added to the Vermont Central to
complete the chain. When this chain is complet-
ed Portland WiH be nearer to Chicago by 200

January q, 1868, the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted and or
dered to be placed on record: a,I .
Whereas in the providence of God Rev. O

been removed from his earthly labors, leaving
in this community the memory of a Christian
character and work, and field of philanthro-
pic toll not easily to be supplied with sue.
cessor as Jealous and devoted as he has been;
therefore
ResolUed, That gratefully acknowledging the
long continued and faithful services of our la
mented associate, we record the expression OF
our sorrow, that we are deprived of the iudic-
ious connSels, the warm heart and the ready
help of one who from its organization has been
the most efficient agent and assistant of the
Committee for the Relief of Sufferers by the
fire. -
Resolued, That greatly indebted as we are to
his knowledge of those most needy and his
forethought in arranging such system as
greatly assisted us in the work of distribution,
we cannot omit this tribute to the memory OF
one whose earnest endeavor was, regardless of
his own ease and comfort, to do good to his
fellow men. -
ResolUed, That we desire to offer to his be-
reaved family the heartfelt assurance of our
deep sympathy with them in their affliction,
and our conviction that in this city which has
so long enjoyed his self sacrificing labors of
charity, both in ordinary and remarkable times
of trial, his name will not soon be forgotten.
ReSolUed, That the foregoing resolutions be
signed by the Chairman and Secretary and
forwarded to the family of our late associate
HENRY Fox, Chairman.

STRIKE.-In consequence of notice given
by the proprietors of all the largest car
riage manufactures in this city of large re-
duction in the wages paid to the employees, to
take place ON and after the LIST of February,
the workmen struck on Monday, and refused
to do any further work. They number over
two hundred men, and have since held meet
ings to adopt measures to maintain the pres
emit rates. AT meeting held by them yester-
day afternoon some of the propretors were
present. Every thing was conducted peacea-
bly, and with propriety. but no conclusion or
agreements were arrived at. The proprietors
say that in the present dull state of the mar
ket it would be better for them to suspend op-
erations for while; but they are willing to-
keep the establishments in operation provided
they can do so without loss; and for this pur-
pose it is absolutely necessary to reduce the
pay of the workmen. A
The reduction proposed by the manufactur-
ers in this city, Saco and Biddeford is twenty
per cent, which is less than the reduction
which has been made in the wages at New
York, New Haven, and other places. There is
no ill feeling existing between employees and
employers, and it is highly probable that a
mutual understanding will be arrived at, and
work in the manufactures will be continued
The proprietors express willingness to pay
all that the business will afford, and the en-
ployees are now looking at it in this light.

take Plantation Bitters, which has the power
of fortifying the system against disease, and of
