f "A BATTLE-S0RR0W.

I've stood upon the parting deck,
Amid the horror of the wreck;
I've struggled with the waves
I've headed our undaunted rank
On fields where unknown heroes sank
Into unnOticed graves.
The wheat God gave for wholesome bread
I've seen il stained with deadly red;
I've heard the women's cry,
In honest country kitchens, when
We've come to lead away the men
To conquer or to'die. lf,.gr
~ I've never felt my spirit sink,
Save once, when fighting on the brink
OF Russia's northern sea.
Within my range STRIPPING came,
And as took my sudden aim

/ felt as ifFd known him well,
And shivered with surprise;
Stung by a sudden, nameless pain
Those other men whom had slain

saw him when the fight was done:
Out in the playful summer sun,
o lie lay as if he slept; .lsal
His hand had fallen on his breast.
Some blossoms fastened there it pressed

And all that night, and all the next,
With troubled dreams my sleep was yext,
Which made my waking sad;
How, in some village. still and cool.
Alittle maiden, in her school, .
Sat thinking of the lad.
And when to England we returned,
And bells were rung and bontires burned
From Wight to Shetland isle,

For those / d made TO sit alone,
Forgetting how to smile. a
Our kings have made their quarrel up.
And pass about their loving cup
As friendly as can be ffr

DECAY or PARTY ORGANs.-'rhe New York
World, commenting on the uecessity of party
organs, says that 'the journal that is blind to
the faults of its own party, as we'll as to the
merits of the opposing party, is not the one
that commends itself to the average American
This fact the leading papers in the country
perceive; SO that now, in place of the old
slang-whanging partisan organs that used to
flourish so extensively, there is large and
growing class of journals which exercise the
right to judge impartially Of the acts Of either
party though in, the main advocating the
claims of one of them. So long as public
measures cam be adopted only by means of
organized political parties, and so long as vo-
tiers will side with one or the other of these
parties, just so long will party journals be IA
necessity; but these Journals will obtain influ-
ence Ill inverse ratio to their blind adherence
to party. They must dc independent, but not
neutral ="

How to Declare a Federal Policy.

The practical suggestion contained in the
following remarks Of the Winnsboro' Neacs,
upon the way Of declaring Federal policy,
deserve q careful consideration. There Ia
no doubt that the growing absorption OF the
control OF the local affairs of the States by
the Federal Government is danger to every
citizen, whether Democrat or Republican; ;
and declaration in favor of local self-gov-
ernment could not, it would seem, be objec-
tionable to either party.
"We have reiterated our impression that
Federal policy is absolutely necessary. and the
June Convention having declared none ws pro-
pose now to suggest how the deficiency can be
supplied. The Congressional Nominating Con-
vention. should any such be held, can lay down
the principles that the State is willing to abide
by. The chief difficulty seems to be, that
some men prefer to call themselves Democrats,
no matter what principles they hold. Now,
whether it will be best for the Southern States
to act with the National Democracy, should
the opposition prefer that name in 1879, or not
need not cater into this Canvass. Let care.
fully dlgested statement of principles be put
forth, and called neither by one name nor by
another, principles avoiding all minor points
Of difference. but covering the policy that the
people are known to be willing to support. We
will with full confidence. name but one-locat
selfgouernm,ent- some are disposed to
MAINTAIN as sovereign right, but which others,
who believe in consolidation, favor as priUi-
lsge not causelessly to be interiered with. II
the platform consist simply Of pledge to sup
port honesty and economy in the collection and
disbursement Of taxes. and insist only upon
the SINGLE principle Of indepen lent local SELF
government, it will b, far better than having
! no Federal platform at all.

Our Public Servants.

The Forty-frst Congress met in its second
session on the 9Th day Of December, 1859,
and adjourned on the 18th day Of July, 1870,
having been in actual session one hundred
aud.si1ty-six days. During that time up to
Monday night last the roll, was called three
hundred and seventy times in the House Of
Representatives, and there were introduced
two thousand two hundred and ffty-elght
bills, OF which four hundred and eighty-fve
passed. The New York Tribune gives the
record of each member, carefully compiled,
as far as might be, from the Journal Of tho
House. showing the number OF days each
was absent from the House, the number OF
roll-calls to which each failed to respond,
and the number of bills which each introduc-
ed (whether public or privately The record
shows that Mr.. John Morrissey was absent
from his place one hundred and twenty days
in session Of only one hundred and sixty
six. The most industrious Congressman
was Aaron A. Sargent, Of California, who
was absent only four days, and introduced
thirty-four bills, only two OF which were OF a
private character. At the head OF the roll OF
honor OF those who have been busiest in
passing private bills we find the name OF W.
B. Stokes, OF Tennessee, who submitted just
twenty-nine Of these usually obnoxious meas
ures. Third upon the same list is Roderick
Random Butler, Of the same State, parent OF
twenty-one private schemes, exclusive OF the
one in regard to the sales Of leadership.
The South Carolina members have very
significant record. Wallace we omit, be-
cause he did not take bis seat till May II,
and Whittemore does not count as he re-
signed on February 24th. Bowen and Hoge
were the only representatives Of the State
throughout the session.
Solomon L. Hoge was absent eighty-th''ee
days out OF one hundred and si1ty-str. He
failed to respond to the call Of the roll taOo
hundred and seoeuty-t,oo times and did not
introduce solitary bill, public or private.
Christopher Columbus Bowen, we grieve
to say, has worse record than Solomon l..
Hoge. Mr.. Bowen was absent ninetyjfue
days, but only failed to answer at rol-call
too hundred and tttrty-eight times. Mr..
Bowen introduced three public bills and one
private bill--one Of these was, we presume,
the bill for the relief OF the Sisters OF Mercy,
which Mr. Bowen championed with persis-
tent zeal and energy.
The public can now see for themselves
what Messrs. Hoge and Bowen have done to
deserve at their hands renewal of their
want OF confidence in the shape Of a Radical
nomination.
