I'm waiting tonight N the lone, lone street,
out in the dark and the rain anil tho sIeet,
shiyer to feel tie rough blast passing hy,
0 dear, how wish thar tonight might die.
see Il elis 10 the wipdowsebnt not for me.
Ana hearts are inside running over with glcc.
Bnt have been toiling oil day ioand fro.
And to:nig ght poor beggar I've no place to 60.
/ hear laughter md music and mirth all
around,
And from bright lighted halls comes many a
sound,
turn In this alley away from the s'ght,
A beggar, and must stay IN the street to- night.
No father, no Mother, no sister, alone
am len in the world to wander unknown;
And here must suffer andIerc innsf fall,
For no body cares, I'm besg thai's salt.
I'm SO hungry aud cold and weary tonight,
AndlLy eyes already are losing their sight;
Owhat shall ! do when the suow, coming
down.
Falls terrible robe all over the town,
These close mnfHed men with hasty feet,
Have no time to give beggars bite to eat,
And dare not cen ask place IN the shed,
Where tonight might pillow my sching head
Ali, WE'LL In this world ! am certain that
Am not needed, and sol may as wen die;
IN be foandhn the morning under the sleet,
And no one will care that died in the street.

To a Friend.

The Night was calm as the brow ofdealh,
Not cloud was in the sky,
And the Winds blew soft Ms the timid breath
That whispers lovers sigh;
The'fclds all glistencd with frozen dow
That flashd from a thousand stems,
And Heaven, that looked like an ocean ofbluc
Was clustered with starry gems.
Igszd on the moon, for herpensiye beam
In lovcliesi glory shone;
gnzd till my bosom felt n CLEAN
As placid and pure rs her own;
And Ithoughtin my soul there was one per
elmnce,
That look'd on the moon with me,
And then in wild and heavenly ttapee
Ny spirit remembered thee.
The ftful breeze as II !rembled by,
just play'd upon my check,
And voice, like pitying angels sigh.
For moment seemed to speak
turned me round perhaps twas nought
But the coldly passing AIR;
Yet OH how sweet was the soothing thought
Ofihy spirit lowering there.

The Suffrage Amendment.

The Cincinnati Commerc al con
cludes an able article favoring
the adoption of constitutional
amendment prescribing a uniform
rule ofsuffrage throughout the Uni
ted States, with the following para.
graph;
What we maintain is, that the
United States ought, Of its own
right, TO have the power to declare
as well what shall constitute a
political as well as what shall
constitute O civil citizen of that
Government. 1t is thought no
hardship to the States that tho
Constitution invested Congress
with the power to establish uni.
form rule of naturalization--to de-
termine upon what conditions he
the foreigner-may be adopted
into the political family; nor will
it be any serious loss of the evil
dences Of limited sovereignty il
they surrender to the General
Government the right to declare
the conditions of suffrage, and 80,
like the conditions oil naturalization,
mako them Uniform throughout
the United States. The diversity
of practice in the States in this
matter is rather an argument for
than against the propriety OF al
lowing the Government to declare
the basis of suffrage, and, to pre-
vent any sudden change by reason
Of partisan fiuctuations,- lodging
the conditions oft in the Constitu
tion itself.

AllN Ahithhs
Considerable excitement was created on
Saturday night at Fifteenth and Race streets,
owing to report that n boy had been shot
and fatally injured. 1t appears that Lieute-

Officers John Green, Thomas Duncan, and
others to go out in citizens dress and arrest
the inmates of the houses referred to as they
left the premises. Bv the time they arrived

point they were attacked by several young
men. crowd was soon gathered, and the
officers were struck with stones by the assail-
ing party. Officer Green then gave his pri-
SOner in charge of Officer Duncan, and went
back to the crowd, but was soon assailed by
the party in a furious manner, when he rushed
among them and made for one of the ring
leaders, when he was knocked down. He
then drew a revolver and fired two shots into
the crowd. One OF the balls struck a boy.
aged fifteen years, named Thomas Lilly,
passing into the forepart OF the left thigh, and
lodging back of the lemoral bone. The in
jury is considered dangerous. Two of the
persons said to have been implicated were
arrested and held to await the result of the
injuries inflicted. Lilly was removed TO his
residence, Twelfth street, above Race.

o'clock, William Bowley was struck in the
head with porter bottle. at No. All Girard

tion about drinks. Rowley was removed to

Views of The Presidents POIicy-A savage Let
ter from Judge Dent to the President.
The following is an extract of letter writ
ten on Saturday by Judge Dent, of Mis5is-
sippi in reply to one received by President
Grant the early part of the present month.
President Grant, in the letter referred to,
gave his reasons for casting the weight Of his
influence in favor of the Radical party in
Mississippi, and il is TO that part that Judge
Dent replies thus:-
Isit reasonable to suppose that pcOple having
the Tree choice oi their Representatives would elect
for their rulers class OF politicians whose ag-res-
sivc ana hostile conduct hitherto nus rendered them
peculiarly obnoxious and disawcgable! This is the
charge made by trc people OF mississippi against the
radicals or ..hittcr-eudcrs as they are called The
charge is not made because they fought against the
south and secession, for many OF that class fought
on the side Of the South. 10 is not made because
they are of Northern birth and education, for
many men of Northern birth and education
ana of the Northern army are with us
in antagOnsm to this obnoxious party. 1t
Is not because they are Republicans, for their
antagonists were among the first in the South to
organize on the Republican platform ana to alvO-
cate the clyll and political equality OF all men were
sent as delegates to Chicago, and for their con-
S.s,teI % 49, ~ w , ny !Ou vi
offices OF trust ana honor But this charge is made,
have said before, because the proScriptiye ante
ccdcnts and aggressive policy of these politicians
toward the people of Mississippi have made them
the objects OF peculiar adherence.
That policy consists not only in the continual adj
vocacy OF prescription but in preaching TO the freed
men, in time OF profound peace such revolutionary
doctrines as excite and direct against the white men
of the South and their families a most dangerous
animosy, such animOsty, indeed, rs, with con-
tinuattOn OF the same fuel would inevitably lead to
black mans party ana war of races Neither
are such doctrines preached with an honest desire
to ameHorate the condition OF the freemen or
promote the ends Of peace or strengthen the
Republican party in the South, but solely to
alienate from the planter the time-hOnored
confidence ana affection Of this race in
order that the new political element under the ban
ncr OF Rcpublicanism might he entirely controlled
and SubOrdnatcd to their own purposes of pOWcr
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT. And to this class of men,
whom you fOiled in their attempt to force upon the
people of Mississippi the OdiOus Constitution re-
friendship and support, and spurn from you that
other class, who, in accepting the invitation of the
Republican party in good faith, in mass in Nr-
ginia and Tennessee, as they Wnl come in Msss-
sipp and Texas, to stand upon its platform and ad-
vOCatc its principles. LEWIS DENT.
