A Washington dispatch. ,.ot Inc 9th iast., to
tine New York Trihnue, says:
1t is now agreed, on all hands,. that there is
no longer any hope for the success OF the San

abandoned, some time since, the idea ofbrlng-
ing annexation about by the passage OF Joint
resolution, following the precedent made In
the case OF the admission Of Texas. They
found that the. Democrats would vote In body
against the proposition in any shape, and that
SO great a number of Republicans would take
the same course, including several Of the
oldest and most prominent members, that IL
was hopeless 10 expect to get majority vote.
Tha only other course remaining is TO accom-
plish the annexation by: the ratification of
treaty by the Senate, which requires O two
thirds vote Of that body. The Senate is com-
posed Of seventy-four members, SO that it Will
take fifty votes to constitute two-thlrds. ne.

that nine Republicans shall vote with the six

the annexation treaty; and more Than that
number declare in positive terms that they are
opposed to annexation in any form, and that
they will vote against it iron first to last,
their opposition being intensified by the
action OF the caucus to-day. It not certain

prudent course that could be pursued to settle
the trouble. At Rossville ninety arms were

The colored people appear to fully realize
that they have been deceived, and if their
protestations are to be believed, they mean

The whites are determined to protect them
selves in life and property, and only ask on
the other hand obedience to law anc order.
In this they will be sustained by both the civil

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY.
For the Herald.
wRANGLING OVER A PICNIC.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is surprising that in
this enlightened age (when we would
suppose that christianity would be near
err perfection than ever to see such
wrangling and pickering among the
christian brethren over such small
thing as pic mic. The methodists used
to have the reputation of being the most
uncoiuIronlislng christians; but we
think the methodists of Smyrna have
"gone back" on their reputation "bad."
1t was proposed to have an entertain
ment for the children belonging to the
Sunday School. Some proposed all ex-
cursion tn Lewes, and some, q pic mic in
| the woods. 1t was decided after much
alteration to go to Lewes. A committee
was appointed to charter cars and make
all necessary arrangements. Every
thing was moving along smoothly as we
supposed, but last Sunday there was
meeting of the officers and teachers con-
nected with the school, called after tine
school dismissed.
The question was then discussed with
as much sharpness and vehemence as a
question of "dolla 8 and cents" would
he discussed by "worldings." 1t was
| first decided Cnstead of going to Lewes
Oh an excursion) to have picnic in
Hills wood; but as there was so much
dissatisfaction manifested by some
of the members of the association,
it was reconsidered, aud motion
made to go to Fraland which was car
ried. The president rppointtd another
committee to procure conveyancss for
the children and make all arrangements.
But is an old saying and a true one,
'slhere's many slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip" The committee became
dis sa isfied, and another meeting was
called on last evening after the prayer
meeting. The same scene was gone
through with that enacted on Sunday.
The confusion and quarrelling was car
ried 10 an extent the meeting WAS call
ed TO order by the "pastor." the presi
dent having left. This time the Fra
land and the IIewes party were defeated
and the wopds party was triumphant
| II is astonishing Mr.. Editor that profess
ing christians will lay theInseles open tn
reproach. Instead of being the flights
of the world" they bring a reproach
upon the cause Christ and lower the
standard of christian ty. We fear Mr..
Editor there is rot the harmony or unity
existing in the Methodist chur h in
Smyrna there should be. Instead of il
being united it is divided into three oil
four factions, and there is as much wire
| pulling going on as you'll nd in a polit.
ical party. And unless certain ones are
at the head of every movement it is {
failure. VIRTUE.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Ninety-fve years ago next Tuesday, |
cur fathers unable longer to endure
the oppression of the Mother Country,
solemnly declared that "these United
Colonies are, and of right, ought to be
free and independent States" To
make good that declaration, they came
from the East, they came from the
West, they came from the North, they
came from the South, and nobly
pledging to each other 'stheir lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor" many
of them fell sacrifices on freedoms al
ter.
But it is not our purpose to follow
them in their long and weary marches,
to relate the fearful odds against which
they contended, their many battles lost
and won. At one broad glance we
can behold, but our pen is inadequate
to describe, the hardships they endur-
ed, sufferings which they recounted to
their children ''till tears ofpity glisten-
ed IN their eyes, Or boiling passions
shook their tender frames" Suffice it
to say that by their united efforts they
achieved a common liberty for them
selves and their posterity forever.
Under just, wise and humane ad-
ministration of the government they
established, the American Republic
soon became first in the great family
of nations. Peace, plenty and happi-
ness reigned supreme i'll all her borders,
Then it was in good old Democratic
times Baron Won Humboldt declared
that the American people "are the
happiest people on the face of the earth
they have government, they car
neither see nor feel"
Until the Republican party did en-
ter our political Eden we did eat of tn,
pleasant fruits of the tree ofliberty ant
were content. 1t came and with it death
This unhallowed party has violated
every fundamental principle of eivi
liberty. It has overridden the consti
tuition, set the Supreme Court at def
ance, and even laid its rude and ruth
less hsrds upon one of their own Presi
dents, for daring to execute the swor
duties of his office.

MARY's LATTI Il LAMB.

Mary had little lamb
That did caress and 'Lorn" her;
He followed her to Sunday school,
At '':he little church round the cor
ner."
Tho teacher tried to put him out,
But Mary at him flew,
She said, show dare you touch that
lamb,
'I'll put head on you.'"
Now, Mary's lamb would butt like sin,
None knew him but to fear;
He quickly broke the teachers back,
Then walked off on his car"
And then he pulled down all the books
That lay upon the shelf,
Then bleated out in thunder tones,
"You know how it's yourself"
Then Mary Rugged her little lamb,
And babe the school goodbye,
And patting him upon the back,
Sand, "How is that for high ?"

THE canvass in Kentucky is going
on with activity. The rival candi-
dates for the different offices are trav-
cling about the State and holding meet
lngs together. In the mountain coun-
ties. Gov Leslie and Gen. Harlan, who
are running against each other for Gov
ernor, are spending all their time to-
gether, driving from place to place in
the same carriage, and, where accom-
modations are limited, even sleeping
IN the same bed. This custom of can
wasting together is a good one, and
might be extended to other parts of the
country with great advantage. Fancy
Philosopher Greeley and Gen. Grant
travelling about and addressing audi
ences together as rival candidates for
Presidency! We do not believe they
would ever be able to live so intimate
ry with each other while engaged in this
duty as the candidates in Kentucky
They might ride in one carriage and
eat at the same table, but they would
hardly be willing to sleep together
Besides, Grant would want to have
with him military staff of three or four
brevet generals, while the Philosoper
would go alone and carry his own car
pet-bag. However, let them try it,
and we can guarantee for them the big

may appear to speak.-N. Y. San.
