Hoar seems to be dead in tho shell.
Hoar was one Of those infinitessimal
little souls who once having had
greatness very unexpectedly to him
SELF and tc everybody else, thrust up
on him, forthwith put on 80 many
airs, and assumed SO much IF the in
science Of Office, that an ordinary
Senator or Representative who
might have done ever 80 much to-
wards the success Of that party of
which Hoar was unearned, reaping
the highest honors, that the aforesaid
Senator or Representative cau!'..,
approach the aforesaid consequential
Hoar with ten foot pole, and hat
in hand, without getting snubbed.

The Old Admiral.
From the Galaxy.

Gone at last,
That brave old hero of the Past,
His spirit has second birth.
An unknown, grander life;
All OF him that was earth
Lies mute and cold,
Like wrinkled sheath and old
Thr ,wn of forever from the shimmering
blade
That has good entrance made
Upon some distant, glorious strife.
Earth to earth his dust Is laid.
Methinks his stately shade
On the shadow Of "a great ship leaves the
shore;
Over cloudless western seas
Seet the far Hesperides,
The islands OF the blest,
Where no turbulent pillows roar
Where Is rest.
His ghost upon the shadowy quarter stands
Nearing the deathless lands,
There all his martial mates, renewed and
Await his coming long.
lsee the happy II eroeS rise
With graduation in their eyes:
welcome, old comrade," Lawrence cries;
"Ah. Stewart, tell us OF the wars ~
Who win The glory and the scars?
How floats the skyey hag-how many stars?
Still speak they of Decaturs name,
OF Bainbridges and Perry's fame?
Or me, who earliest came?
Make ready, all:
Room for the Admirali
Come, Stewart tell us of the warsi'

Senator Harlan.

a, MIR. Iincoln's second election
Senator Harlan was appointed Sec y
of the Interior, tor the express pur
pose Of cleaning out that "Robbcrs
Roost'', known as the Indian Bureau.
and which had been run up to that
timely such au uncomfortable pack of
thieves, as to be an intolerablc stencil
in the nostr,ls of every honest man.
Mr.. Harlan went bravely at his
work, but unfortuna tely, MI. Lincoln
was directly slain, and An drew John
son commenced restoring tho thieves
about as fast as Harlan put them out.
One Boynton, correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette over q year ago,
in the interests evidently of somo of
these discounted thieves, made a
lot OF circumstantial charges against
Mr.. Harlan for corruption, while in
office, all Of which Mr.. Harlan com.
pletely disproved from his place in
tho Senate last March.
Boynton has again this winter re.
turned to his assaults with renewed
venom, to which, various and sundry
Washington correspondents of Iowa
papers have made complete and thor.
ough refutation.
We have before us three column
com munication to the Washington
Chronicle from the pen of our friend,
Col. VIM. Penn Clarke, late chief
Clerk Of tho Interior Department, in
which he shows, by sworn officials
who were perfectly cognizant of all
the facts, that in so far as Mr. Harlan
is concerned, these charges OF Boyn-
ton, are in detail and in the aggregate
pack of most unmitigated lies.
We doubt if the angel Gabriel
could administer the affairs of the
Interior Departmental any great length
Of time without acquiring tho repu-
tation Of being first class thief.
More certainly would this be the
case if that aforesaid angel had too
much confidence in human nature,
and too much goodness in his heart,
to see that certain lot of soft hand
cd, oily CANNON sinuous dcmagogues
surrounding him, were really high
waymen, and ready and willing to
steal anything not red hot, instead OF
being the honest and conscientious,
and christian men they pretended to
be for the sake ofpublic plumber,
Unfortunately Mr.. Harlan had his
share of these men in his Depart.
ment, who were robbing without his
knowledge, and who are now faunt
4 ing their i'll -gottop-goine in the face
OF the public, but when Boynton or
anyothcr man makes the people of
Iowa believe that Mr. Harlan had
any knowledge of these facts, or any
participation in their spoils, and for
the short time be was 10 Office didn't
do everything in the power ofmortal
man to reform the abuses OF his De.
partment, then he will have but little
farther trouble to establish tho fact
that common honesty is banishcd
from the face of the earth.

The above is a
copy of the proceedings of the Wash

olution was passed, requesting the
Secretary of the meeting to furnish a
copy Of the proceedings to each OF
the Washington papers, and copy
for the committee from Ottumwa.-
For the purpose of informing the
citizens of Ottumwa more fully IN re.

of Washington towards Ottumwa, il

Washington enjoys a line retail
trade. Washington County, a por-
ton Of Louisa, Henry, Jefferson,
johnson and nearly all of Keokuk
North Of Skunk River, pay her trib.
ute. She has long enjoyed all the
advantages of being at the terminus
of one railroad, and would now BE-
quite willing to be let alone. Could
she be let alone, and remain secure in
the trade Of an immense scope of
magnificent country, which she now
commands, she would be very slow
in raising the first dollar tor the
South Western road. But her saga
cious mon see that the time has
come when road must and will be
constructed from Washington, or
from some point east or west of that
place, southwest /; and If a reasona-
able subscription will protect and
advance the interests of Washington
we believe her citizens will prompt
ly act. Little fear exists there in re.
lation ID the Columbus City route

seeking the shortest line for "a great
