The Geneseo Republic declares that Mr.:
Hawley is now out of the Congressional
canvass and suggests that the Republicans
of that county now 60 tor Gen Henderson,
of Bureau. y The Republic had an
opportunity to support Gen. Henderson for
Congress several years ago against man
who was regarded as very much his infer
ior both in intellect and virtue, yet the
Republic then made itself notorious if not
infamous for the reckless violence of its OPP
position to Gen. Henderson. y y The
Republic then labored for Ingersoll for the
same reason that, more recently, itlabored
for Hawley-because its post office was at
stake. By its course and that of the other
office holders of the district, aided by a lib
eral corruption fund, Henderson was de-
feated and the district was lost to the Re-
publicans. Roch Island, Union, 18th.
The editor of the Union shows inexcus-
able ignorance Of Illinois politics in the
above. Gen. Henderson was not candi-
date against Ingersoll. Henderson was
the candidate of the Democrats against
Lovcjoy 1t was in 1862 Henderson was
at the war then, but permitted himself to
be used by the Democrats to defeat Owen
Lovejoy The Republic opposed Hender-
son and supported the regular Republican
nominee-Lovejoy, but Hobbs had no
post office then,no was the district lost
to the Republicans, for Lovejoy was elect
ed. The vote was as follows
| Y t-aa
owen lovejoy'. 10
T. j. Henderson. O2l
| Loyejoy's majority ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 7O5
Lovejov would have been defeated but
for a few Bourbon Democrats who run Ben
Graham as third candidate, thus soaring
hundreds of Republicans from Henderson
to Lovejoy for fear Graham would be elect
ed
When the old Fifth district was lost to
the Republicans the candidates were In
gersoll, Republican, and Bradford n. Ste
vens, Democrat. This was in 1870, and
the vote was as follows

A ROMANCE.
Love BIighted Ends I'm a Convent.

Love Blighfed Ends I'm a Convent.
Bertha Gerolt, daughter of the late
Prussian Minister TO the United States, J
who entered the monastery Of the Visi-
tation in the District of Columbia,
about three years ago, took the final
VOWS on Saturday, Feb. z, 1874, and
will hereafter be seen no more in the
midst of that unconscious history per-
forming within her daily hearing.
Many years ago, one sister Gertrude
or Miss Ann g. Wight, a beautiful
girl of an old Maryland family, was
sent to this convent school while her
family visited Europe; and, when they
returned, she was pledged to the
Church. There she showed such zeal
that she was talked Of for Lady Su-
perior; but, for someeause never known
she covered herself with Monk s cloak
one night, and escaped into the city, re-
fusing to all applications to return, and
she again became 4 brilliant woman of
society, not without influence in official
things, and demonstrated her clever
ness by going to the city of Mexico in
pursuit of a legacy left her by a school
mate, the daughter of the Emperor
Iturbide, and recovering it. Miss
Wight never married, and, a little
while prior to the rebellion, she died in
the family Of John n. Mason, United
States Senator.
THE HEROINE OF THE CONVENT.
Miss Bertha Gerolt was Of Catholic
family, although her father represented
a Protestant Kingdom. She was of
refined nature, much sweetness and
sensibility, and probably felt for her
father, who was growing old, was quite
poor, and, IN the movement of Count
Bismarck against the Catholic Church,
stood danger Of losing his Legation.
About that time there lived with the
Baron Gerolt, an attache, a young man
belonging to one of the noblest and old
est Protestant houses of Brandenburg
people as proud of theirreligious con-
sistency as Of their rank. He grew en-
amored of Miss Gerolt, and the alliance
would have been proper and acceptable
In every way but for the matter of re-
hgion. The attaches mother in Prus-
STA, repealed the idea of the Catholic
COnnecLOH, Willie the cccleSlaSJlcS IN
America, seeing an apparent OPP
pOrtunity to do some pros
elyting around the Prussian
court; operated upon Miss Gerolt's
mind. After the parents on both sides
were tolerably agreed, the religious
issue was kept up, and the question of
children had to be settled IN advance,
until the young mans patience was
worn out and hebruke the engagement.
The church, which had been successful
in the matter, was, of course, entitled
to the bride; and about this time some
controversy arose between our govern
mcnt and the State authorities at Ber-
lin, which ended IN therecan of the old
Minister, The only one, although a
Catholic, to adhere with enthusiasm to
the cause of the Federal government,
during the dark days of the rebellion
Bertha Gerold has disappeared, as
did before her, and within the same
walls, daughter of the Emperor Itur-
bide and daughter Of Gen. Scott. A
few weeks ago the daughter of Admiral
Sands took the white veil in this con-
vent; her father IS n native of Mary
land and Superintendent of the Naval
Observatory.

AWIyTER sTysEr.

Cold, still and mOtiOnless doth all things lie,
Upon this winters day,
While rays of light still linger in the evening
sky,
As though they fain would stay,
To touch with brightness ere the day is done,
The wintry clouds again,
And from the brilliant glory of the dying sun,
An added fairness lend.
The ancient fOOtpath to the ehurchyard gate
Is covered now with snow;
Upon the old familiar bridge / linger1ate,
And think on days Of yOre.
Locked in tn embrace of death the river lies
And low from far and near,
The keen, shrin growing of the cocks comes FAINT
and dies
Upon the startled ear.
And soon the night winds chill shall stir the
trees.
And sweep the meadows DER;
With saddened heart shall nature bow beneath
the breeze,
That blows her drifts of snow.
Ali life, so cold and drear, take heart once
more,
Hope will a message send,
For faireSt flowers lie beneath the snow,
That soon shall bloom again.
