BY "Dus."


From the North to the South came a poor car
pet-bagger,
The flesh on his body was shrivclled and scant;
Bus he smiled like the ghost of the ancient Bar
abbas,
As he grasped the commission presented by
Grant,
And his breast wildly heaved with tnmultuous
emotion,
For he saw in the future the chance Of q meal.
While his voice earollsd sweetly in anticipation
The Radical anthem of :" Plumber and Steal"
Borne down by the burden Of Vars deso'ation,
The country in ~fullsess OF misery groaned;
Her child,en deprived Of their freedom aud
birthright.
For charity, mercy--availing naught--moaued.
But their yearnings, like Pslan6's, dismeu-
bered, were treason,
And Might fercer crushed them meath ebony
heel,
While louder the scallawag. true to his nature,
Gave vent to the melody. "Plunder and
Steal"
Where he came poor as job soon he lives like a
His pockets weii-lined with corraptions base

While wretchedness holds her dread wings Ger

And Death, with Starvation. alternately
reigns;
Till the land, swept as bare as the sands Of Sa-
hara,
Deny to the earthworm its underground meal;
His heart OVERLOOKING with JOY truly loyal.
Still sings the proud anthem of 'Plunder and
Steal"

WHIPPING IN DELA W4RE

Delaware still retains the pillory and " hip
ping post The last instance of the infection
Of these penalties was at Newcastle on the
23d. Delaware paper describing the scene,
remarks that there was rather more than usu-
al curiosity to witness it, because the sheriff
whose duty it was to apply the lash, is a new
incumbent, and there was a little doubt
whether he would perform his duties manful-
ly. The generous crowd Of three hundred
men, women and children, who gathered on
the occasion were in no way disappointed,
but, as the paper alluded to says, "many Of
them seemed to especially enjoy the proceed
ing" Their offenses ranged from petty lar,
ceny to highway robbery; and the punish
ment was one hour in the pilory, and from
twenty to sixty lashes. One Of the prisoners
was sentenced for the larceny of door mat,
and received twenty lashes, with the addi.
tional penalty of six months imprisonment
and six months OF convict dress in public.

BOSTON DRY GOODS MARKET.
FRIDAY, NoY. 90

There Is steady but not an active demand for
me various descriptions Of dry goods from those
Joobers who have became established in new quar-
up quite large. Most goods are still sold at Old
prices, but the demand for some of the favoritc
makes Of cottons has led to an advance In price
med nm and light weights but the sales have been
light The sales of brown cottons have been con
siderable, and on some of tho popular brands an
advance Is asked OF u TO lie yard. There is, how
ever not much dlspos ton to pay any higher rates
and purchases are limited to just such quantities
as are required for immediate Distribution lhere
Is, of course, temporary scarcity OF some grades
of goods, but with unimpared facilities FOR prouuc
ton and an ample cotton crop, there 10 not likely
to be any permanent rise in cotton fabrics, except
on such goods as were sold at too low hgure be-
fore the fire. The market remains firm for bleached
cottons and the best makes of fine goods are still
selling at the advance noticed in last, while
some medium we light goods are selling in small
quantities at IL cent above he quotations of last
titles. Sesias and Jeans are in fair demand by
the clothing trade, and the stock is being reduced.
In priets there is no change to note and the mar
ket is quiet.
Shawls are in moderate request from jobLcrs but
the sales are in small parcels. The clothing trade
continues TO purchase small lots OF wooiens to
cut up Tor immediate use, but there is disposi-
lon 10 purchase spring stocks of woolcus at pres
ent, as clothers are not in condition to employ a
large number OF workmen at present. Prices are
unchanged, and buyers have found no difficulty in
supplying their wants at old prices. Elannels and
blankets remain in very limited supply, and the
market is decidedly hrm.
Carpets are quiet and unchanged.

TUESDAY MORNING, December 3, 1879.
CONGRESS-.

The session of Congress now opened
will not in all probability furnish much
excitement or be distinguished by remar-
kable activity. The session before the
Presidential campaign is the period at
which the members are all in fighting
trim, and that after is the time for survey
ing the battle ground, resting from care
and deliberately looking forward to the
future. 1t is only the shutting out of the
old Congress and administration and
preparation for the new. The members
who are going to private life after the
fourth of March next have little DISPOSE
ton to work, while those who hold over
will prefer to begin labor with the new ad-
'ministration inaugurated and the clearer
perception of their public duties which the
lapse of a year will afford
There is no disposition manifested to
engage in party strife, either upon new
projects or to fight over again the battles
Of the campaign. The victors are not in,
clined TO be otherwise than generous, and
the defeated are So badly worsted, that
they will have no heart and but little cause
to be belligerent. The sad death of Mr..
Greeley will soften party bitterness, and
create more ~kindly feeling among the
members. Such lesson of the fraity of
human life, the mutablity OF fortune, the
danger Of allowing ambition for political
distinction to absorb the life, will he felt
benefically in Congress and all leading
political circles.
1t is surmised there may be discussion
and perhaps action in relation 10 civil SER
vice reform. There is some opposition
to the measures now adopted, but the
general feeling is in favor of making q
fair trial for reform, either under the pres
ent rules as they are or by amendment if
necessary. The new Internal Revenue
bill will be an important topic for consid-
Grafton. The postal telegraph will also
claim and have a hearing. There will be
legislation in connection with the Treaty
of Washington, something to be done to
regulate the distribution Of the Alabama
award, and something should be done for
shipbuiding and commerce These are
the most important subjects 40 far under
agitation for the consideration of Cong
ress, all of them needing the best atten-
tion!of that body, which will not, however,
