poor ass, the federal government, in the
way of railroad commissioners appointed
to embarrass commerce under pretext
of regulating it, and canal projects. and
river improvements. and telegraph pur-
chases, and savings banks and what not;
but it would be very short estimate to
confine the amount to that of our present
national debt-all of it to come out OF the
people at time when the agricultural
classes are mad with suffering, when the
mercantile classes are almost prestrate
under the effects of a monetary Crisis
and when the workingmen parade the
streets of our cities uttering cries wholly
new to us, and which are only heard at
intervals among the oppressed popuia-
tions of the old world.
Do the gentlemen at Washington un-
derstand these things? or will they go
on with their petty and preposterous
projects until outbreaks worse than pam
les bring them suddenly to their senses
We want economy first of all-thorough,
rigid, uncompromising and then we
want the real interests of the country
attended to, and not the schemes of spec
ulators and lobbyists.

To the Editors of the Evening Post:
Some fifteen years ago cut the enclosed poem

Attacked by rapid consumption his physician
The hope of again seeing his wife ere he closed
his eyes to the world sustained him for time,
and in one of those rev1ving moments so COM

these touching lines, his parting memento to

TO MY WIFE.
Come to me, dearest, I'm lonely without thee,
Daytime and nighttime I'm thinking about
Nighttime and Daytime in dreams behold
Unwelcome the waking that ceases to fold thee.
Come in thy beauty to bless and to brighten,
Come in thy womanhood, meekIy and lowly,
Come in thy lovingness, queenly and holy!
Swallows will fit round the desolate ruin,
Telling of Spring and its joyous renewing
And thoughts of thy love and its manifold
treasure
Are circiing my heart with a promise of pleas
Oh, Spring of my spirit; oh, May of my bosom!
Shine out on my soul till it bourgeon and bios
The waste of my life has rose-root within it,
And thy fondness alone to the sunshine can
win 1t.
Figures that move like a song through the
Features lit up by reflex of heaven
Eyes like the skies of poor Erin, our mother,
Where shadow and sunshine are chasing each
other;
Smiles coming seldom, but child-lfke and
Oh, thanks thanks to the Savior that ever thy seeming
Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming!
You have been glad when you knew was glad
dened-
Dear, are you sad now to hear 1 am saddened
Our hearts ever answer in tune and in time
love,
AS octave to octave and rhyme unto rhyme
love;
cannot weep but your tears will be flowing
You cannot smile but my cheek Will be glow
ing
would not die without you at my side, love
Yon will not linger when shall have died
love.
Come to me- dear, ere die of my sorrow,
Rise on my gloom like the sun of tomorrow;
Strong, swift and fond as the words which
speak, love,
With song on your lip and smile on you
cheek, love;
Come for my heart in your absence is weary
Haste, for my spirit is sickened and dreary-
Come to the arms which alone should cares
thee
Come to the heart that is throbbing to pres

SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.

The elections in the States of Tennessee
and North Carolina have resulted as
might have been expected. They carry
with them their moral. In each State the
canvass was an exciting one, the main is
sue being the Civil Rights Bill. In each
State the vote was larger than ever pelled
since the war. Many failed to vote here
tofore, as has been The case in the more
southern States, from the natural dlsln-
clination to vote, as it were, under Radl-
cal duress-in the face almost Ct Radical
muskets. These elections however, were
without these concomitants, and had the
additional inducement of the Civil Rights
issue. This was telling card. The Rad
icais were compelled to force 1t, by thelf
colored allies, and it has rebounded. Ien-
nessee and North Carolina have take Il the
initiative Although the latter has been
under Radical influence since the war, she
now is Conservative from ten to twenty
thousand, and all the strongest Radical
strongholds have gone Conservative. save
one. Tennessee couldn't stand the Civil
Rights issue, and even Brownlow inveigll-
ed against its' Blood is thicker than wa

most Radical eye. 1t must be forced IN
every other State in the South. Like
Banquo's ghost, it will not down. The
result will not be in doubt. The South
rons can care for, school and attempt to
make the colored man good and useful
citizen, but there is a line they cannot
cross. In the Civil Rights Bill they have
reached that line. Already the Radicals
are regretting it as an issue, but too late
