4 DIX SHELLEY.

Liko the ghost of a dear friend dead
Is the time long past;
A tone which is now forever fed,
A hope which Is now forever past,
A love so sweet it couldsnot last,
Was time long past:
4
There were sweet deans in the night
OF time long past;
And, was it sadness or delight,
Each day shadow onward cast,
Which made us wish it yet might last
That time long past?
There Is regret, almost remorse,
For time long past;
'Tis like child's beloved corse
A father watches, till at last
Beauty is like remembrance cast
From the leng past.

A number of bills have been introduced
and referred to the different committees.
There was an interesting debate in the
Senate on Wednesday,, on st. Domingo
Mr.. Sumner opened the session with per-
sonal explanation of his position towards
the President, and 'arrayed himself boldly
against the annexation policy of the ad-
ministration. He sent to the Secretary an
article in the Washington Patriot, which
makes the following Statements; Within
the1ast ten days, attempts have been made
to effect reconciliation between Mr.. Sum-
ner and the President. The latter, how
ever, has refused all overturcs. declaring
that Mr.. Sumner had attacked him in Ex-
ecutive sessions of the Senate, grossly a
bused him on various occasions, and at
tributed dishonest motives to him. The
President added that if it were not for his
official position he would demand personal
satisfaction of Mr. Sumner. The Presi-
dents feelings are, shared by his staff Off
GERS and one of them. General Babcock, is
reported to have declared that if he were
not officially connected with the Executive
he would subject Mr. Sumner to personal
violence This article haying been read,
Mr.. Sumner said that be had been notified
that the statement was coming out, and
would be telegraphed all over the country.
He said that he had never spoke of the
President personally in Executive session,
except with kindness. and had criticised
his acts only as Senator should He
called on Senator Morton to state this fact
to the President. In regard to the other
assertions. he said the Secretaries Of State
and the Treasury, to whom he had said
harder things of the President than to any
others, knew whether the mputation was
justified. Senator Morton, on the other
side, took up the lance for the President
and St. Domingo. The duel is quite as
interesting as the famous spurt between
Senators Drake and Schurz. The House
bill to change the tax on sugar was passed
and now only awaits the Presidents sigma
ture to become law.
In the House it was evident from the
