DEBATE IN THE SENATE IEsTEEDAY.-The
interest and excitement which have been mani
tested in the House for the past two days over
the San Domingo questionwere yesterday trans
ferred to the Senate and while the House, at
times, found itself without quorum, and al
most without spectators in the galleries. the
Senate presented just the opposite scene
Nearly every Senator vas in his seat, and
the crowd of visitors was so great that large
numbers of people were unable to gain admit
lance. Towards the close of the discussion, and
when the final vote was taken, Gen. Sherman
Secretary Robson, the Presidents private Sc
ceretary. and over seventy members of the
House were on the floor of the chamber. In
the diplomatic gallery several Of the foreign
legation were represented. In fact, IN the
language Of Senator Schurz. the Congress OF
the United States presented to-day remarka-
bic spectacle before the country and the world:
That Senator commented on this spectacle and
the occasion which created it in a speech of two
hours duration most remarkable for its new
and striking arguments at the close OF an al
elaborated in graceful and polished way that
commanded the undivided time and interest Of
the Senate and the large audience gathered to

irony the text of the Presidents message that
the country had looked upon the non-annexa-
ton at the last session Of Dominica as public
calamity, and dsied single instance of express
sion of the general sentiment to that intent
He also completely answered the fimsy pre-
tense of the message that if We did not annex
Dominica some European power would take
our place.
The speech stirred the administration Sena-
tors to their very depths, for they were inter-
jecting inquiries and comments almost every
ten minutes. The forcible and apt replies.

There was great scene of merriment at one
stage of the speech when Mr.. Sumner Joined
hands with Mr. Schurz. and virtually insisted
with him that the President was guilty of
mere pretense in assuming in his message that
he had information that Il European power had
taken step looking to the acquisition of Do

RE, OHIO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1871.



Rosy hours Of youth and fancy!
Happy hours Of Long Ago!
All, the playful, pictured memories
Let rs catch them as they doWs
C5aIaxfes of bIue-eyed ATerys,
With q Julia or a Jane,
Or troop of little Il4uraS
Laugh and blush and rOmp again.
Moonlight meetings, evening rambles,
When the night was still around
And a sweet voice, softly murmuring
Or a kiss, the onlyisound-
These remember! and remember
How the kind stars shone above,
Keeping in their softened Splendor,
Watch and ward upon our love.
Youth is as diamond daWning-
Behold 1t breaks to gorgeous day
Heavenly lights OF power and beauty
Glance and gleam along its way.
Far within the mighty future
There be sOlemn voices heard:
Shaped TO many a stately anthem,
Floats the music q word.
But that music, in the present.
Softly oroops, with sad decay,
TIL its echo in the spirit
Faints and fails AID dies away.
Green be then the tender memory
or the Past, foreEer sped.
That our Y OEIth may BE immortal
Though its days and dreams are
WGlgiam Winter.

Twas morn, and up the eastern sky.
Aurora, rosy fingered, erept;
A pale checked youth, whose rayless eye
Still paced the flOor-the stars for him,
The moon, the sun alike were dim
For him but two bright stars could rise
And those Two stars were IDA'S eyes
But they. to him, were nov observed
Though once he'd fondly thought they
And ali their dazzling Iovelight poured
Upon his path, for him alone;
Till doubt crept in, and then the past
Its sweet light DER the present cast,
To make shadows lingering there
More plainly seen, of " An DESPAIR

But would be reason, Cupid 5 power.

Thus spake a friend, who'd marked of late,
The youths wan cheek and fading eye,
And adds. ''if my advice you'1 take,
"Fair Ida's yours, you've but to try"
