En- la tumba de Rosal1a Torres.

Sobre los bordes del sepulcro helado
4 do examine duerme Rosalfa,
cual blaDco lirio de su olor privado
una lAgrma vierte ell alma mia.
iAllf yace en- apacible calma
ell imperio trlste de la. muerte!
iAllf un canto triste exhala ell alma
al yer su cuerpo que reposa inerte!
5Sabeis quien es la que Ell dolor levanta
mi turbado corazon, que siente
que hasta el pensamiento 10 quebranta
y deja henchido de pesar la mentei
LA conoces sin duda, porque pura
modelo de virtud fu6 sus meaore
porque jamas quiso gozar de la ventura
viendo en- su redor llanto Y doloresI
Mas s------ no es 6sta la illusion lloresa
porque Sc entona mi penada lira
40 solo Rosalia fue virtuosa,
nj tan solo 81 virtud me inspira.
Que al traves de su espl6ndida pureza
una santa sublime sc ocultaba.
pues cada pensamiento en- su cabeza
era un nuevo candor que la ensazlabs.
La dulce carload era su tema,
su mundo fu6, su porvenir, su encanto:
con clio Sc teji6 bella diadema
digua tan solo del que muere santo.. -

...........
Necio de aquel que en- placido momento
immortal contempl6 su ser humane,
y en- fervida illusion del pensamieato
ell decreto olvid6 del soberano.
rPor ESQ fue que en- mi dolor profundo
sombras tuve no mas de trista duelo:
una vida busqr6 que datls al mundo.
vida que ardiente deelandaba al 1ccifelo..
La demandaba, 81, porque esperaba
que Ell cielo oyera mi cantar sombrio;
mas va la yfrgen raudo vuelo alzaba
dejando Ell pecho cual el marm0f frio.
81 cielo no me oy6, crespon luctuose,
palido cubre el corazon amigo,
y tan solo un lamento misterioso
vino al deserto a suspirar conmigo.

Candida lmagen, celestial tesoro

ELECTION FRAUDS IN PHJLADEL.
RHEA.

The election frauds By the Radicals that
are being unearthed in Philadelphia are of
so shameless and outrageous a character as
to compel The condemnation Of Radical pa
pers in that city. The Philadelphia Piss
(Forney's paper) says:
Election officers disregarded all law;
personation and repeating were counte-
nanced and abetted by them, ard respecta-
HE citizens, at their dictaticn, were driven
from the polls
The Philadelphia Post (Radica) says;
We lave 10 hesitation in saying that the
debauchery of the ballot OF Jan. so, last,
was the most extensive and shameless ever
known in this country, and the men who
practiSed this wholesale debauchery, and
those who aided and encOura- ed them,
should be made to feel the full severity Of
the law they so wantonly outraged and de-
l!berately defied. What will the District
Attorney do about it9
The Philadelphia Bulletin (RadicaD
says:
"The testimony offered by Mr.. Mcclure
proves, first that bands Of repeateTs acting
under instructions from persons who ars
interested strongly in the success of Gray,
voted frequently in the Fourth District
second, that the election officers not only
received these votes, sometimes in despite
Of protest, but actually threw out the ballots
of honest citizens in order TO give Gray a
majority that he did not have; third, that
the entire body Of office holders in this city
contributed money to Gray's cause, and
that some of The most active perpetrators
and abettOrs Of fraud were men who held,
and do now hold positions under the mu-
nicipal and Federal governments"
Whenthe Radicals VIII thus q eat ian cleo
ton between members OF their own party,
we may judge what they would do as be-
tween Democratic and Radical candidates.
We have in these frauds an explanation Of
the reason why the Radicals have carried
almost every election in Philadelphia. This
is worse than anything that ever occurred
in the way Of election frauds in New York.

WHAT'S THE MATTER.

On the 2lsC Of February the Washington
correspondent Of the New York Tribune
wrote as follows:
at is understood that some Of the at
taches of the White House ciccles conceived
the idea, some weeks ago, Of Interviewing
4 hundred Congressman on the subject Of
Gen. Grants denomination, with view OF
publishing that number as tavoring that OBJ
iect. Considerable speculation has been
INDUCED in as TO the cause OF the non-ap-
pearance ofthis manifestation of the popu-
lar yearning for the Presidents renomina-
ton; but it is now understood that the re-
port has been made to the White House,
and that it has not been published Tor the
very excellent reason that very m uch less
than 100 members expressed themselves as
being positively in favor of the PTesi dents
reelection"
Two or three days afterwards the Wash
ington Republican, regarded as Grants hand
organ, stated that the liss of the hundred
Congressman favorable to Grants nomina-
ton, had been completed, and that would
publish the same IN few days. 1t has not
done SO yet. The thing hangs fire from
some cause. What's The matter? Has
there beena backing out on she part of some
who constitute the hundred?

A New YORK paper that has been look
ing into penitentiary statistics finds in them
very strong point against the popular the
ory that ignorance is the parent of crime.
Il says:
"That there Is a fallacy In this theory Is
proved by some figures presented in the re-
port Of the Inspectors Of the State Peniten-
tiary in Western Pennsylvania. OF the
four hundred and eighteen inmates Of this
institution there are only forty-seven who
can neither read nor write aud fouy-four
who can read only, while those who can
both read and write number three hundred
and twenty-seven. That is 20 say, the pro-
portion of CELEBRATES among these prison
ers is actually considerably less than the
proportion of them among the whole adult
population of the Northern States taken to
gether. The same seems to be true Of 9TH
er prisons. The reports from Auburn pris-
on, in this State, and from the prison at
Columbus, in Ohio, also show that the vast
majority Of criminals have received 8 fair
education"

MORE Bogus SOLDIERS REAP A
HARVEST

It appears that Tinker Dave Beatty's are
not the only soldiers that have been making
an irregular" raid upon the public trcasu-
~. The Washington Patriot Of the 7th
inst. says;
The act Of Congress Of April %, 1871,
placed five companies Of Kansas stay-at-
home soldiers, the Westport Police Guards
and Hickman Mills Company, who were
mustered into the service in 1868, on the
same footing as regards pay rs other United
States troops.
Shortly after the passage Of the act, it
seems that these troops were paid Off to
tune Of 100000, the vouchers covering the
the entire amount of the claims being on
file with the accounting officers Of the
Treasury. By some remarkable lack Of
information in the accounting Office, it has
been supposed until within a few DAYS, that
these accounts had not been settled; but
lately numerous letters have been received
from parties in the West, asking pointed
questions concerning their claims under
the act, which develops at least a strong
suspicion that there has been fraud and
forgery connected with the collection Of
the claims referred TO. Measures have
been taken to thoroughly sift the matter"

THE Louisville Commercial (Radical) has
a useful and convenient ally in the Nash
vile UNION AND AMERICAN, in the joint
partisan endeavor to discourage the Liberal
Republicans of Tennessee from sending
delegates to the Cincinnati National Con-
Yention.-BGlaer.
The Banner knows that, instead Of en-
deavoring ito discourage the Liberal Re-
pubIeans of Tennessee from sending dele
gates to the Cincinnati National Conven-
tion," the UNIoE AND AMERICAN has en-
couraged them to send delegates TO that
Convention. The Convention which we
have opposed is that which the Banner is
trying to get up here in Nashville on the
same day ofth Cincinnati Convention, the
object ofthe prime movers in the Banner
movement being TO disorganize the Democ-
racy.

Court, held at Montgomery, for Ku-Klux

THE CONFEDERATE GOLD.

The Richmond Dispatch recently pub
lished a communication in reference to the
Confederate gold, in which the following
appears
II learn from an old army acquaintance
of highest responsibility, who was one of
the party formed here to guard it while
being transported to Augusta, that the re-
turned soldiers were prevented from help
ing themselves by being told that the
money was to be used for the benefit of
our prisoners at the North; that it reached
Augusta in safety; that guards were then
paid twenty-five dollars each for their servi-
ces and discharged; and while it cannot be
proved exactly what became of the gold,
vet it is certain that our suffering boys in
prison never heard of it."
Mai r. J. Moses, late Confederate Com
missary fer the State Of Georgia, the officer
to whose care the gold referred to was en-
trusted, replied to the article in a conmuni-
aAion to the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer.
The money amounting to nearly $4,000 in
bullion was taken 10 Washington, Wilkes
county, Georgia, where it was handed over
to Mai. Moses. On tie order Of Maj. W.
f. Alexand1r, assistant to the Quarter
master General, three boxes of bullion, es-
,imatcd at $4,000 were paid to the Quar-
termsster's Department. Msj. Moses had
remaining thirteen boxes Of bullion
weighing S34,965. With the concur
renee Of Gen. L. McLaws, then
commanding officer at Augusta, Ga, he
wrote to General Mollyneux to ascertain if
arrangements could be made with the Fed
eral Authorities to place the balance of the
Confederate funds at their command for the
purpose Of feeding and providing for the re-
turning sick and wounded Confederate SOL
diers. 4 favorable reply having been re-
ceiyed the thirteen boxes Of bullion were
handed over 10 General Mollyneux who am
ply provided for the returning troops from
The United States COmmissary. The
recent for the money is in the
hands Of Hon. Jere. S. Black. Maj. Moses
in his communication relates another curl
Gus Incident. About the time of the trans
action referred to above, - countryman
threw bag over Gen. Tcombs' fence and
calloped of, Itwas found to contain $1,000
in gold. This sum was Immediately hand
ed over to the Federal Quartermaster, then
stationed in Washington, Ga, to be applied
to the same purpose as the larger sum given
to Gen. Mollyneux. Maj. Moses presents a
clear case, and it viii be gratifying reflec-
ton to those who fought for the 'lost
cause" to remember that the men in whom
they reposed confidence were worthy of it.
