NEW POEM BY BRET HARTE
G RAMON

"RAMoN"
lei Refugio Mine, Northern Mexico, 1871
Drunk and senseless in his place,
Prone and sprawing on his face,
More like brute than any man alive or dead,-
BY his great pump, out of gear;
Lay the peon engineer,
Waking only just to hear
Overhead
Angry tones that called his name.
~ Oaths and cries of bitter blame
Woke to hear all this, and waking, turned and ned!
ITO the man who'll bring to me,'
Cried ntendant Harry Lee,-
Harry Lee, the English foreman of the mine,-
Bring the sot alive or dead
I will give him. he said,
Fifteen hundred pesos down,
Just to see the rascals crown
eIneath this heel of mine;
Since but death
Deserves the man whose deed,
Be it vice want OF heed,
Stops the pumps that gives us breath
Stops the pumps that suck the death
From the poisoned lower levels OF the mlne!
No one answered. for a cry
From the shaft rose up on high;
And shufilng, Scrumbling tunbllng from peloW,
Came the miners each, the holder
Mounting on the weakers shoulder.
Graphing clingng to their hold or
Letting go.
As the weaker gasped and fell
From the ladder to the we'll
To the poisoned pit OF hell
Down below?
y TO the man who sets them free,'
Cried the foreman, Harry Lee
Marry Lee, the English foreman OF the mine
Brings them out and sets them free,
l will give the man. said he
'iTWice that sum, who with rope
Face to face with Death shall cope.
Let him come whe darcs to HOPPER
s.Hod your peace!'' some replied,
Standing by the foremans side;
s'There has one already gone, whoe'er he be-
Then they held their breath with awe,
Pulling Oh the rope and saw
Painting figures reappear,
On the slack rope swinging clear.
Fastened by some skillful hand from below;
Till a score the level gained,
And but one alone remained
He the hero and the last,
He whose skillful hand made fast
The long line that brought them back to hope and
cheer!
Haggard, gasping, down dropped he
At the feet of Harry Lee
Harry Lee, the English foreman OF the NINE;
Il have GOMEZ he gasped, 'to claim
Both rewards. Senior, my name
Is Ramon!
I'm the drunken engineer
I'm the coward, Senior" Here
He fell over, by that sign
Dead as stone

IMMIGRATION.

While this all-important SUBJECTS before
The Legislature we commend to their spe-
cial attention the report Of Mrs. Barnard
upon that subject. 1t contains important
suggestions, which will be Of value in
organizing any scheme to promote immi-
grafton to Virginia on large scale.
Nothing is more certain than the possible
ity of diverting from the West large share
Of the immigrants who are now almost ex-
clusively setting IN that region. This class
Of people carry with them the power to
unlock the hidden resources of wealth
wherever they go. A wise. liberal and
large-hearted policy will bring them here,
and with them such prosperity as this state
has never known before. And this policy
will also keep our own young men at
home. We hope to see early and active
measures taken upon this all-mportant
subject.

TIE TEXAS ELECTION DECLARED
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The news comes from Texas that there
is much excitement i'll that state, owing to
decision of the supreme court to the
effect that the recent election, which was
carried by the Democrats, was unconstitu-
tionsl, and consequently null and void. 1t
is said that the law passed by the last legs-
lature of the state providing for the late
election was declared unconstitutional be-
cause it specified that the said election
should be held on certain day, whereas
the constitution Of the state provides that
call elections for state, district, and county
Offices shall be held at the county seats
OF the several counties, until other
wise provided by law; and the polls
shall be open for four days, from
O'Clock q. IN. until o'clock p. IN. of
each day. The point made by the SUI
preme court of the state may be well
taken, but il is singular fact that the
unconstitutionality of the law of the
Legislature should not have been dis
covered until several weeks after the
election. Governor Davis seemed to
have no hesitation in approving the bill
aud it is not at all probable that the
question of the legality Of this election
would have been raised at all had he been
reelected. The fact is that Governor
Davis would insist on foisting himself upon
the Republican party as a candidate fol
governor, against the protests Of some Of
the best men of his own parry, who urged
that only OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES could
be successful. A Democratic majority of
10000 proved the correctness of their pre-
diction. 1t is intimated that the Demo-
Gratis who carried the state, and who have
been making preparations TO run it,' will
not submit quietly to the decision of the
supreme court, and will resort to force tc
get possession of the state offices. This
would put them in the wrong. They had
better fight it out legally.

The Civil Rights bill, now pending be.
fore Congress, has had no warmer or
ADLER advocates than Congressman Plat
and Stowell, Of this state. The misstate-
ment Of Their opposition thereto, copied
from another paper, appearing in our issue
of the 9TH instant, has already been cor
rected The speech Of Mr.. Stowell in
Congress, January 6, in advocacy of the
bill. is everywhere spoken Of as an able
effort. At present the bill stands recon-
mitted, for amendments, to the committee
from which it was originally reported
It's fate, in the mutation of time and party
politics, is problematical.

MIXED SCHOOLS.

We do not believe that any bill will pass
Congress enforcing mixed schools in the
South.
The colored people of Virginia, and es-
pecially the colored members of the Legis-
lature, have q grand chance, however, to
show them good sense, and their regard
for the permanent welfare of the whole
people by protesting against that feat ure of
the Civil Rights bill, now before Congress,
which looks to the forcible mixing of races
in the schools. We do not believe that
majority of our colored friends want it..
But if passed, there would be found some
mischievous persons to take advantage of
it and break up our schools.
