a, returning emigrant passed thro
Enfala, Ala, the other day. We quote
from the Times: "He says Texas is

extreme, and that they would joyfully
return to their old homes if they only
had the means of doing so. Money
alone commands sympathy for the Tex.

may desire to labor for living, il he

A LONELY BuRIAL.--Last night be
tween ten and eleven o'clock, q strange
and lonely burial took place. The cof-
Tin contained the remains of Mrs Dell
plaine and her child--victims Of the
small pox-was placed on hand sled
and taken by two men to lonely bur.
ial in Woodland cemetery. Facing
the fierce January gale, and lighted
only by the stars of Heaven, they car
ried their burden of perished human
ity to its last resting place. No mourn
ersto follow the loved ones, no priest
to say over them the Offices of the dead
no throng of sorrowful, friends--only
the workmen who had volunteered TO
perform the lonely task-this was the
cortege, and the coffin was lowered to
Its place without prayer or hymn. Not
however, rudely or heartlessly, but the
imperious demands of the living re-
quired this seeming neglect Of the
dead. After the sections sad task was
done, they went to the pest house
which had been previously prepared
and changed their garments before re.
turning to their homes.
Lightly as we may, and too frequent.
ly do, in this modern day, speak of the
time when we must lie down 10 sleep
the sleep that knows no waking, there
Is in every heart fond hope that with
death may not como the forgetfulness
Of friends, nor the neglect to pay prop
or regard to our burial. How terribly
sad then, mast the scene oflast night
have been 10 the family from whose
presence the victims of this fearful dis
! ease were taken to such sepultnre

reavement aud its mournful ending

A correspondent of tho Chicago
.yoaracl, writing from N. Y. City, has
the following to say of the jury in the
case of the great thief, VIM. M.
Tweed, now on trial In that city:
Seven OF the twelve jurymen sitting
on the Tweed trial are reported to be
iiouor-dealers and stable keepers,
With,one exception they are all far from
prepossessing. They are jury which
excites unfavorable comment from
every quarter. The report around the
court room is that seven Of them have
already been secured by Tweed. How
ever this may be (and / doubt whether
there is any real foundation for the
story, though Tweed would doubtless
be glad to give them twenty, or twice
twenty, thousand dollars apiece) every
one of them who dares to vote "not
guilty" after such damning revelations
and testimony as are coming to light
will consign himself to everlast-
ing infamy. The Judge viii nm
doubtediy give o most ovcrwhelm-
ing charge against the prisoner.
Then let us sec how many of these
men dare to vote not guilty. New
York will be as uncomfortable for
them as jamestown now is for the
traitor Winans who sold out to Tweed
at albany two years ago. Not an hour
passes that not enough evidence is not
elected to convict Tweed ten times
over. 1t is noteworthy that, notwith-
standing the treachery Of many of his
friends and his abandonment by many
others, Tweed has not SO far "squealed''
upon single person. He has not d.
vnlged a word which would convict
Others. To use the highwayman's
vernacular, he has not "hoIlered' for
once. Amid the perfect hurricane oil
abuse that is showered upon him, he
has never for once uttered or written
q word which would implicate others
in his rascalities, either here or al

RESUMPTION.

M RESUMPTION.
Senator Sherman's bill looking tc
the resumption of specie payments
and his able speech in defense of the
bill attract general attention. His
plan, which we published on the 18th
inst, is to redeem u. s. notes after
January 1st, 1874, in this manner, viz
that the Government can either elect
to redeem them in coin or in U. s. five
per cent. bonds at par. In addition
to this it provides in effect for free
banking, and for the repeal of the
clause in the National bank act, which,
requires the banks to hold a certain
All. cunt in reserve, as to all banks who
shall after the lst of January next re
deem their notes with legal tender
notes or in coin.
The speech Of the Senator and his
plan proposed, are quite favorably
commented upon by some Of the best
financiers Of the country. This is a
grave and very important question,
inasmuch as blunder made in II
would work the most disastrous re-
suits to tho country. An attempt once
made to resume must not fail; there
must be no room left for possible lack
of complete success. While we think
therefore, that Congress docs well to
agitate it, we cannot think that the
thirty working days left in which Con.
gress can act this session, will afford
sufficient time for reflection and discus.
sion upon SO grave matter, and at
the same time transact other necessary
business. 1t is, however, best that the
people of the country should be FORE
warned that resumption must come,
probably at no very distant day, and
that they should understand that debts
which they now create will, iflong de
layed in payment, have to be paid in
specie or its equivalent. This view of
things may place a healthy restraint
upon the people about going into debt.
The new Senator from Kansas, John
James ingalls,, is native of Essex,
Massachusetts,, and a graduate OF Will
liam's College. He is reported to be
a lawyer of fine practice, a finished
scholar, and an excellent speaker. He
is young, being only thirty-eight years
OF age.
Col. A. NJ. York, who sold Senator
Pomcroy, is a banker by profession,
q man of few words, seldom ever at
tempting to make a speech, but is said
to be bold, determined man, and pos
sessed of cool, clear and calculating
judgment. II, as appears upon the face
of the transaction, as at present given
to the public, in regard to his getting
$1,000 out of Pomeroy, for his vote,
and then exposing him, and placing
the money in the hands of the Legisla-
ture, is true, then he has performed a
good work. We glory in seeing cor
ruptionists brought to the block, and
owing to the keen, subtle cunning OF
those who buy legislators, it is justifia-
BILE to use almost any means to circum
vent them.
If it shall prove to be true, that Mr..
Pomeroy is guilty, he should be ex-
pelled from the U. S. Senate, though
he has but a month to serve.
II fhowever, Mr. York and his friends
have played bold, rascally game aud
won, we trust there will be way to
find it out.

A Big Search AT er thu Missing one,
With no Success.

The great facilities We havejn this country
for getting and sending of news between differ
ent places. however widely separated, make
it almost impossible that any should leave q
city and remain away long without some
word being heard from him or her, either
directly or indirectly. YET, there are such
cases, and che of this like has just come tc
our notice.

living for herself, and, therefore, was bent
upon leaving home. Maria, for that was the
young woman's name, one morning in the
early part of October last, started for thi-
city from the Fort, telling her parents if she
obtained work. they need not look for her
back soon, but if she failed, she would return
At night When night came no Maria sp-
peared, and the parents, supposing their
daughter had found employment, thought no
more oft. A week or two passed away and
they looked for . visit. Another week or 20
rolled along, and no daughter showed her
welcome form. Mr.. Evenson then began to
think not all was right. and so instituted .
vigorous seach after Maria. This he con-
tinued for some weeks, engaging Others to
assist him, bat his searches were all in vain.
He sent word to all the neighboring cities
and took advantage of every possible oEpor-
tunity to find any clue to his lost daughter.
He i sill on the search. making enquiries,
bot with no hopes of success. At first b.
consoled himself with the unpleasant though,
that his daughter had gone into the country,
near by, to work and was unable to send him
word, but after his diligent search he hse
given that up. 1t is now feared she has been
led of into house of i'll fame, where she il
