Washington special Of the 7th to the Cincin-
natl Gazette says: Secretary Seward was
before both foreign commissions of Congress for
sometime to-day. He appeared principally for
the purpose of speaking about the st. Thomas
treaty, but during the interview had something to
say on nearly all questions of foreign policy. He
said with respect to the rights OF naturaIized cit
zens abroad. that the time had come when de.
clarstion ON behalf of our government should be
made, and he hoped that the same doctrine could
be found on which all civilized nations would
agree. He said with reference to the Ala
bama claims, that matters now stood
in very good position for the United
States, and bad little doubt that the fnal settle
had not mrch to say about Alaska, evidently be-
ieviDg that the House will agree to pay for that
when the time comes without special urging. He
gave full history of the st. Thomas purchase.
saving that the negotiations began in Mr. Lncoln's
administration and that he was entirely willing to
leave the question Of ratifying the treaty with
Congress- and should cheeTfully content himself
with its action. He stated, at some length, what
were deemed by the government as the ad-
vantages that would accrue to us from the
possession of the Islands, and alluded pleas
antly to the fact that earthquakes and hurri-
canes had been unusually abundant there
since he concluded the treaty. He said the
proposition to submit the question Of being sold
out to the vote of the Islands, was not broached
by the Danish government till after the bargain
had been made, but that he finally agreed to 1t,
because he did not want the inhabitants unless
they were willing to become citizens of our
country. vote was to have been taken last
month, but the storms and earthquakes created
too great disturbance. II will be taken on Thurs
day of this week, and he says it is the tenor Of
his advices that the people will vote almost unan-
mously for the transfer. He alluded to the re-
ports about the purchase of the Bay OF Samana.
and said the government of San Domingo had not
yet submitted any proposition since rejecting the
one he made to them last spring.

LABOR IN THE SOUTH.-A Washington special
dispatch CT the 7th TO the Cincinnati Enquirer
says:
A delegation is here from Louisiana, Mississippi
and Arkansas, TO lay before the president and
howard fTeedmen's bureau, a proposition to re-
organize labor in the South, to make it self-sus.
tanning and avert the horrors of starvation with
which various sections of those States are threat
eDed. The project is for the executive commits.
sioners to have plenary powers and provide work
for each labOrer, white and black, the planters to
furnish II things necessary to the cultivation of
the land, the negroes to be fed and receive one
fourth Of the net proceeds of the crops. The ex-
ecutive committee will be charged with the task
OF obtaining the necessary supplies from the
North and West, on which they shall give a lien
on the crops. Those who refuse to work are to
be reported to the commanding general, who will
cause them TO labor on the public works.
The delegation contend that If the freedmen's
bureau will cooperate the plan can be success
fully carried out and that without 1t is done thou
sands of persons will perish and that ultimately
anarchy will be the result.
The president regards the matter as feasible.

OLD EDTToRs.-It was stated at a meeting of
the New York press, few days since, that there
were no old reporters on the press that their
disappearance was as remarkable as that of the
pms, and that all tie leading journals of New
York were edited by young men. The facts are
just the other way. On the Herald there are
nearly twenty men who have been there over
twenty years-men of age, position and family
elderly men who have been there many years
on the Times there are men who have been there
since the starting of the paper on the Express
and Post it is the same. Mr.. Bennett, the editor
OF the Herald, is nearly, if not quite, seventyfve
years OF age; Mr.. Bryant is over seventy; Mr..
Thurlow Weed is not far from the allotted limit of
human LIE; Mr.. Greeley is about sixty, and Mr..
Raymond Is not far from fifty.

Pale as the white rose whitening she lay
Lovely, though dying, and her eye divine
Cleaned DER the deepening shadows OF decay,
Like stray sunbeam on a ruined shrine,
She seemed too beautiful for deaths embrace,
And holiness engirt her as a zone;
Language has fed, but music's pictured grace
Hung on those lips that hate had breathed its
tone.
o, thou the perjured cruel, fsithIess, blind
How could'st thou bow such sweetness to the
dust,
How break the heart where thy loved image
shrin'd,
Dwelt in the beauty of undoubted trust?
But thou didstt break it. Nature could not cope
With love neglected whose undying power,
E'en the very sepulchre Of hope,
Gushed forth like perfume from trampled
flower.
Tears for thy absence, sghs at thy neglect,
Prayers for thy safety-sailes at thy return,
And fond blindness to thy worst defect
Thou ddst repay with undissembed scorn.
Yet here she lay. and on her dying bed
She blessed thy name-then kissed the lock OF
That from thy brow in happier days she shred
Then looked to Heaven, and prayed to meet
thee there.
And with holy look Of hope and peace,
she how'd her head-the parting pang was
Yet no convulsions marked the SOULS release
The palid lip smile of rapture wore
Her fleeing soul one radiant beam had canght,
Warm from the fountain OF Eternal Day,
And left the image of the breathing thought
Impressed in beauty on the breathless clay.
i saw her buried with patrician state
The sable plumes waved proudly DER her bier,
With all the pomp which riches arrogate.
To deck the dust to which they yield no tear,
And as gaZed upon the formal scene,
Where all was cold colectedness and art,
I thought one tear of secret grief had been
filter tribute TO broken heart.
