Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,

And plenteous funeral tears have washed

And the proud forms, in battle gashed,
Are freed from anguish now.

SEVERE WINTER.

The World says: The earnest intensi'
ty with which winter begins its career
this year is severely felt in more ways
than one. Not only do the poor, who
are always unprepared for emergencies,
suffer from insufficient shelter, clothing
and food, but the rich have received a
sharp cut from the discriminating sea
son. A large number Of canal-boats
have been suddenly stopped on the way
from the West by the closing in Of the
ice, and many millions of bushels Of
grain are thereby kept from the market.
Some Of the vessels have been damaged
and portions Of the cargoeg lost. On
the lakes, too, some losses have occur
red. 1t is fact worthy of note that
on the other side Of the Atlantic the
winter has set in still earlier than here,
and with greater severity. There is
every reason to anticipate & more than
usually severe season, and whatever can
be done to escape its disadvantages and
alleviate the sufferings that it will
cause should be done quickly.

PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, December Sin &C
cordance with the instructions of Judge
Paxton, Investigations have been made
into the affairs Of the City Treasury.
Official report says that all business Of
the City Treasury is suspended, no per-
son being authorized to receive or pay
any money after such suspension. Large
sums have accumulated in the hands of
the chiefs of the various departments
greatly in excess of the money for which
bonds have been entered into by said
departments. Such facts have been pre-
scented that the Grand Inquest are Of
opinion that those whose duty it is to
provide for the management Of the City
Treasury and the safety of the city
funds have been derelict in their duty.
For such mismanagement, whereby the
city finds have been endangered, citi-
zens subjected 70 inconvenience and
Joss, and the credit Of the oity impaired,
Judge PaEton is considering what action
to take in the premises.

which taxes are assessed and collected,
shall be entitled 10 vote in all the muni-
cipal elections in said city for city Off
GERS, whether said owners of real estate
are resident within the limits Of the city

Nothing could be clearer, under a
fair and legal construction of the sec
ton. Yesterday Mr.. Droesher, registrar
OF the Fifth ward, sat in his Office. pom
dering over the election, when lady
entered, accompanied by several we'll
known gentlemen, and asked for the
Registrar of the Fifth ward" Mr..
Droesher, with the politeness for which
he is noted, asked what he could do for
the fair inquirer. When he discovered
that registration papers were wanted, he
looked blank. his mind vibrating be-
tween the questions OF gallantry and
law. Before he could answer, the above
section of the City Charter was placed
before him. He read and pondered for
few seconds. Reaching for his regis
tration book he turned to No. 355 and
wrote down the name of Mrs. Elizabeth
Avery Meriwether as a legal voter of
the Fifth ward.
There are hundreds of ladies in this
city who own real estate, and who (under
this fair construction of the Charter) are
entitled to- vote. Will the judges of the
election refuse to receive the votes of
ladies' who have registration papers
The Supreme Court has settled this
question. The registrar is the judge of
the qualification Of voters, and the
Judges OF election can only inquire as to
The identity of the party, and whether or
not the voter has been a citizen of the
ward for thirty days prior to the day of
alactiOn .#

sELF-GovFRNMEET.

The people who govern themselves
through representatives care little for
men. They want competency, faithful
ness and disinterestedness. When they
cease to listen to the siren songs Of spec
ulative combinations, they will have ar
rived at a point long coveted by the pa
.triot. What do they care about a mans
cleveruess if he be competent to trans
act their business2 Does not good

6eers, we should retain good one when
we find him2 1t does not matter if hun
dreds be superior to him in many re-
spects. II matters everything that one
has been tried and the others have not.

served by the defeat of Johnson2 Is

he not made the most of the resources
of the city2 Has he not been faithful,

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, December 9.--No reply
has been received to the letter Of the
forty-Gve Representative Senators to
Secretary Fish entreating him to remain
in the cabinet. The Senators who did
not sign this document speak Of it as
undigni6ed and unprecedented. They
say that as Senators are judges Of the
fitness of appointees to public Offices, it
is peculiarly improper for them to ex-
press opinions in this way on the pro-
priety Of rumored changes. To request
an officer to remain in his place is, in
their opinion, only little less objectiona-
BILE than to advise him to resign. One
Senator, when asked to sign the letter,
said that the President had not asked
his advice on any subject of late, and he
did not propose to volunteer it upon
question of whom he had better have in
his cabinet.
Delegate Hooper, Of Utah. will leave
Washington this evening for home, and
will be absent about three weeks. While
at Salt Lake City he hopes to arrange
plan for the admission Of Utah, which
will settle the question of polygamyr
and be satisfactory to the Mormons and
Congress. His plan is to have Utah ad-
mitted as State during this winter
on condition that no more polygamous
marriages should be contracted, but that
no families already thus formed shall be
Hooper has presented his
plan to many of the leading Senators
and Representatives, and all admit that /
It is, all things considered, the most
practicable that has yet been proposed.
Hooper feels sanguine of being able 10
induce his people to agree to it.

and Escapes.
Yesterday Nelson Cole, son Of a negro
preacher, was hunting out on the line OF
the Charleston railroad with friend,
when they met Sam Jones. After some
words with reference to the shooting OF
Cole by Jones some weeks since, the
matter was apparently settled. Cole
gave his shotgun to Jones, who immedi-
ately leyeled his pistol and fired. The
load entered the head of the victim,
and death ensued Immediately. Coles
friend ran away and was fred at by
Jones, but without effect. Last evening
ESQUIRE Elliott held an inquest on the
body and the above facts we're ELECTED.
Jones has not been arrested, but the
officers are on his track and feel conf
dent Of his speedy capture.
PRELIMINARY ExAMIYATIoN.
Sam Jones surrendered himself be-
fore Esquire Elliott this afternoon, and
a warrant was at once sworn out, charg-
ing Jones and John Williams with the
murder Of Nelson Cole. The testimony
introduced changes materially the facts
set forth above. One of the witnesses
testified that he, Nelson Cole, and two
others went out hunting and passed by
the place where Sam Jones and John
Williams were chopping wood, When
within few feet of the wood-choppers,
Jones and Williams ran to stump and
got their six-shooters. Cole fred at
Williams with the shotgun, Williams re-
turned the FIRE with his pistol. Cole ran
behind a tree and shot again at Will
liams, who returned the fire and ran in
on Cole, saying; Eve got you now"
Sam Jones then ran up to Cole, and
said; Give me your gun and will not
shoot you" Cole gave up the gun, and
as Jones took it with one hand he shot
him through the head with his pistol. 1t
seemed to have been q general fight.
Esquire Elliott was hearing the case at
.wo O'Clock this afternoon.

THE PRINCE OF WALES.

The Prince Of Wales is dying.
That is short, but to the point. Seldom
has more been suggested to the mind
by the same number Of words. 1.-THE
Prince of Wales is dead" will proba-
bly, be added to-day. And then what ?
The Queen and Princess Of Wales are
crazed with grief. The heir to the
throne of England must quit his great
realm, close his royal eyes on land be
was destined to govern, and take his
place with the humblest of his subjects
The common destroyer does not recog-
nze distinctions that men make among
themselves, but descends to the har-
. vest, striking wherever subject is
j found, whether it wears crown or
g starves in the desolate fields. England
will lose King, pomp and power an
instrument, but what will the people
lose that they would not lose if an
ordinary person died He has,
so far, done little to crafty
his countrymen and it has been
whispered all over the realm that such
was the want of popular confidence in
{ him that the death of the Queen would
be the signal for the proclamation of
republic. Such an event could not oc-
cur on the death of the Princes We do
not suppose that it win unsettle any
thing, or make more than ripple on
the surface of England's affairs. With
out regard to royalty, the opinions of
the world will progress, and those prob
'iems suggested by an advancing age
will be worked out whether royalty lives
or dies. Whether for better or for
worse, the people of all lands would dis
pense with the expense of royal fami-
lies. That is the course the sentiment
Of the world is taking. There is in
England a strong Republican party.
Its workings are mostly i secret, but
nevertheless effective. The under class
es are easily impressed, and when told
that change of institutions would work
a change in their condition, they cannot
remain Indifferent. But violent change
in the form of the English government
need not be expected, whether the
Prince or the Queen die 1t is impossi-
BILE not to sympathize with the Attic
tons of the royal family. Whatever
else may be said of the Queen, it will
not be denied that she is an amiable
ruler and an excellent woman.
