UNION AND AMERICAN
For the Nashville Union and American.
i'OH, NAY WE SPEND THE DAY
WITH THEE
T-ba bnrn of b1sv life he'd ceased


The hum Of busy life had ceased
And day was fading into night,
The Eastern sky was growing dim,
The West was lit with golden light.
Labors were ceased, and ceased all toll,
Saturday night IL peace had come;
Children of toll their fOOtstep turn
In haste 10 gain their cheerful home.
In quiet all were resting then
In waning twiight's holy hour,
They looked to God who giveth peace
And rested in His mighty power.
An old man sat beside his door,
HOary his head by Time was made;
And being worn by ceaseless toll
To God the Merciful he prayed.
NThe sins of all the week forgive,
Father, my heart from envy free,
And on the Sabbath Thine own day
Oh may l spend the hours with Thee"
A youthful form was resting then
On pillows where the sunlight played;
The girl looked up into the sky
And filed with humble trust she prayed.
"Oh Jesus, Sufferer, Blessed Friend
My body wastes with tOrturing pain,
Like Thee, oh may all endure
Nor murmur in my heart again.
In sweet communion with Thy word
Tomorrow may happy be,
Like the long Sabbath of the blest
Oh. may spend the day with Thee"
Then sank they in unconscious rest,
Night came with gentle sleep
Which makes the sick forget to mourn,
The weary ones forget TO weep.
ThSt night the blessed angel Death
His hand on burning foreheads prest,
He gave the sick suTcease from pains
And to the mOrtals weary, rest.
On Monday morning two new graves
We're gilded by the rising beam;
In solitude and peace they rest
Beneath the willow by the stream.
The old mans labOrs nor are done,
The maiden's soul from pain set free,
Both happy now in heaven above,
Father, they spent the day with Thee.

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
Butler and FRrnswOrth as TeEiers of
the House of Representatives.

tSAAW EoNASWOEAA ss7 VI
the House of Representatives.
A Washington correspondent writes as
follows: While the House was in commit
tee of the Whole to-day on the Deficiency
Appropriation Bill question arose ON which
a division OF the House was demanded, and
the Chairman, Stevenson, of Ohio, appoint
eds Gen. Butler and Gen. Farnsworth
tellers. Butler and FarnswOrth are not on
speaking terms, and when they met in front
of the Clerks desk they did not observe the
usual custom of shaking hands, whereupon
some member, wishing to carry on the joke,
insisted upon introducing them. Butler
was unwilling TO look at Farnsworth, while
the latter refused to recognize Butler. They
stood looking away from each other, with
out speaking, to the great amusement ofthe
members who are familiar with their pecu-
liar relations. Each tried to ignore the
presence of the other, and each announced
the count Of his side without consultation or
agreement. Fortunately for Farnsworth, he
could not tell whether Butler was looking
at him or not. He has an impression that
occasionally Butler went one eye on him,
but he is not sure of this, for sometimes it
seemed as if Butler was looking in two or
three different directions at once. The
affair passed off without any personal col
lision.

Greeley's-f1r his support v,ald have been
confined to the Bourbous. The IACeral
Republicans and the Liberal Democrats
would net have voted for him. Between
such a candidate and Grant great numbers of
these tvoCiassCs would Save voted for Grant,
and contributed to swell his majority beyond
lbs present magnitude, great as it Is.
10 is needless, however, TO consider these
questions. Il is enough to know that, after

settipg the Matter Right.

The newspapers all over the country are
specializing upon the causes that contributed
to tbc Wonderful success Of ths Republican
Presidential ticket 1t really is not worth
while TO 90 further than to the October cleo
lions d ini the true cause Had they gone
lor Greeley he would have been elected. The
partisaus ufths Administration knew this, and
they were resolved that they should not if
there Was amy efficacy in money. in fraudulent
voting aa,l ia false counting. These means
were AL rcs3r,el to in the most shameless man
ucr. aad ihe result was that the two great
States II Pennsylvania aud Ohio were carried
Cor Grant. That fair vote aud an honest
couu, would havo given us these TIVE States,
We have no doubt.
When the news that Grant had carried them,
aud by means referred to, wassprcad abroad,
thousands Of voters in every State saw at once
that further resistance would he vain aud fu-
tile. They felt that it was useless to take the
trouble to 80 to the polls and cast their bal
lots since it was apparent that the fixed pur-
pose Of the Radical election officers was to count
their caudidateiu. This discouraged the whole
body Of Liberals aud Democrats, and they
weut into the battle with al instinct of defeat.
The Republicans haG their own election officers
10 a large majority of the States, and if Gree
ley had received half million more votes than
his competitor they would not have awaited
him, for the latter would, notwithstan ding,
have been c0Unted 10.
1t is idle to attribute the result to the per-
soaal popularity Of the successful candidate to
tie confidence Of the masses in his statesman
ship and wisdom. and to the popular belief
that he has any peculiar qualifications for the
Chief Magstracy. Everybody knows that
/ personally General Grant is not popular, that
he is not a statesman, aud that all he knows is
how to set a squadron il the field. Knowing
these things to be facts, everybody would be
puzzled to account for his triumphant rS-elec-
tisu-ifit were not equally we'll known that,
the Republican party-managers had SO fixed
the triggers as to give him the election. Uh-
der their manipulation it was as easy to give
him a large as a small majority.
In these days of corruption, and under this
ballo, system the party that has the count is
sure Of the victory.
Its IDLE to attempt to cover up or gloss over
the frauds that have been committed, and to
seek to make it appear that the vote as count
ed is the honest vote of the masses. No man
with three grains of sense can bsiinposed upon
by such preteuces. The sooner the people Of
the country realize aud understand the rotten
political condition of the country, the sooner
