A REVERIE.
BY FATHER RYAN.

BY FATHER RYAN
These hearts of ours-how strange !
how strange
How they ycarn to ramble and love to
range
Down through the wales of the years
long gone,
Up through the future that is fast roll
ing on.
To-days are dull as they wend their ways
Back to their beautiful yesterdays
The present is blank, as they wing their
flight
To future to-morrows where all seems
bright.
Build them bright and beautiful home
They'll soon grow weary and want to
Find them spot without sorrow or
pain, >.
They may stay day, but they be off
again.
These hears of ours-how wild ! how
They're as hard to tame as an Indians
child;
They're as restless as waves on the
sounding sea,
Like the breeze and the birds-theyre
tickle and free.
These hearts of ours-how lone !! how
lone
Forever, forever they mourn and moan,
Let them revel in JOY, let them riot in
cheer,
The revelry over, they're all the more
drear.
These hearts of.ours-how warm! how
warm
Like the suns bright ray-like the
summers charm
How they beam and burn ! how they
CLEAN and glow,
Their flash and flame hide but ashes be-
low.
These hearts of ours-how cold ! how
cold
Like December's SHOWS on the waste or
mould
And though our Decembers melt soon
into May,
Some know Decembers that pass not
away.
These hearts of ours-how deep! how
deep!
You may sound the sea where the cor
ais sleep,
Where never billow hath rumbled or
Depths still the deeper our hearts hide
and hold.
Where the wild storm tramps hath neer
been known,
The wrecks of the sea lie low and lone;
Thus the hearts surface may sparkle
and glow,
There's wreck far down, they're graves
below.
These hearts Of ours-but after all
How shallow and narrow-how tiny
and small,
Like scantiest streamlets or summers
least rill,
They re as easy to empty as easy to fill.
One hour of storm, and how the streams
One hour of sun, and the streams are
no more
One grief, how the tears Of the heart
gush and glide
One smile, flow they ever 30 fast they
are dried.
These hearts of ours-how wise ! how
wise!
They can lift their thoughts till they
touch the skies;
They can sink their shafts like a miner
bold
Where wisdom mines-hide their pearls
and gold.
Aloft they soar with undazzled gaze,
Where the halls of the Day-king burn
and blaze,
Or they fly with a wing that never will
fall
Ger the skys dark sea where the star
ships sail.
These hearts of ours-what fools! what
fools
How they laugh at wisdom, their laws
and rules,
How they waste their powers,and when
wasted, grieve
For what they have squandered, but
cannot retrieve.
These hearts of ours-how strong! how
strong
Let thousand sorrows around them
throng,
They can bear them all-and thous-
and more
And they're stronger than they were
before.
These hearts Of hours-how weak! how
weak
But q single word of unkiukness speak,
Like poisoned shaft, like vipers fang
That one slight word leaves a lifelong
pang.
These hearts of ours-but I've said
enough,

o. Louisiana. We extract from !. me l lol-
lowing vehement paragraphs:

~, ,,Ss n,tia,. I'm order that the forms OF law
M he duls rsspected, that Kellogg ana ms

;nd Ind or honest mind that he and they
,honId be forced by pebble opinion to resign
their places, and that the McEnery Govern
ment should be invited TO assume the otnces
TO which the people Of Louisiana called them.
"If SO much justice cannot be done, then,
nj least. in the name of the liberty which We
profess, let the Federal authority intervene
once more With martial law. Under tnat
rule political robbery and oppression Will
cease. and the people of Louisiana Will soon
be in a position to choose at the polls tbe,r
own government. Under the Kellogg RUE
they would have no such chance; ana hence
Bit is that we find the people OF great com.

military rule. They prefer the rule OF tDe
sword in the hands of an honest soldier 10
civic rule in the hands of men not honest. :
"Under any circumstances, after the re,
instatement of Kellogg, his power for EVIL
should be destroyed, either by bis immediate
resignation or the declaration by the Gov
eminent of martial law throughout LouiSl'
ana. That is the least that should be done,
and the honest, manly sentiment OF the
North, which hates wrong and injustice 10
any shape, should compel it to be DONE" i

The Louisville Courier continues Its STRAIN
of generous indignation at the wrongs Of
louisiana. 1t concludes an article by re-
marking that people, having tried ordlna'
ry instrumentalities Tor the redress OF sreal
grievances and failed, may take the course
p,inted out by Justice WOODBURY. in the
Rhode Island case pronounced from the
bench of the United States Supreme Court
Seeming to contemplate situation such as
produced the resistance in Louisiana, the
Judge said:
GAN that is left in extreme cases, where
the suffering is intolerable and the prospect
is good OF relief by action OF the people
without forms of law, is to do as did Hamp'
den and Washington and venture action
without those forms and abide the, conse'
quences."
But the condition annexed to this advice
could hardly have attended the action in
Louisiana. The prospect" was not 'good
for relief in the resistance to KELLOGG.
That the cause was good and strong cannot
be denied. Indeed, it has not been denied
by any decent Republican authority. But
men should not peril the safety of the com
munity, especially the helpless part OF 1t, by
a hopeless resistance.

The whole people Were much astonished
at this position Of Governor Montague,
knowing that he was quite: active In the,ex-
animation before the c0roner's jury, and was
greatly instrumental in sending Fisher 70
iail for mrtherltrial, having beard him, also,
express himself as decidedly Of the opinion
that Fisher was the guilty party.
After considerable discussion on tue part
of the defence Che prosecution were satisfied
that the court would decide properly and
according to law and great hesitancy OF the
court, continuance was granted on the
ground. as stated above, that Governor
Montague,s evidence was vital TO the 1ntcr-
est OF the prisoner, and that the Governor
could not attend the court In consequence OF
illness. .,,,
The grand Jury, was then dismissed TIL
October Ia. 1874, when the Fisher case will
again be called.
The autopsy was held by Dr.. w. z. Gate
wood. at the request OF the Commonwealth,
Friday, September II, 1874. There were
found three leaden bullets near the region
of the heart, each of which would weigh
down three buck.shot. Besides, several
small shot were found imbedded in the heart.
These bullets are said to compare precisely
with number of bullets discovered by the
Richmond detective, aided by party who
assisted Fisher in burying them. 95

II really strikes us that one OF The most
extraordinary propositions which has ever
cnanated from the Executive of State is
that which has just reached the President of
the United States asking him to turn over
the investigations of the recent kukluX out
RACES to the local tribunals Washington
Chronicle.
OF course all Republicans are struck with
the impudence of any such pretension on
the part OF State. They consider the States
as nothing-the Federal Government as
everything. And practically they are right
The States are helpless. Not one Of them
can protect one of their citizens from arrest
and transportation to any prison or place O
trial, or his detention without trial, under
the authority of the Federal Government
The northern States may we'll consider wha
they have done.

CHAMBERLAIN, the Radical nominee for
Governor of South Carolina, is Massachrl'
sets man and a graduate of Yale College
He was Attorney-Gene under SCOTT, late
Governor, and has been associated all the
time with the thieves, although it is said that
no proof appears that any money stuck to
his fingers. CAEDozA, colored State Trea'
surer, who nominated him, said that be did
so "on the recommendation Of General
GEANT." 1t would be more proper and
probably less injurious if General GRANT
were to appoint CHAMBERLAIN Governor.
CARpozo helped to make away with $4,000
of the public funds. 1t is not good TO have
such friend.

Letter from Petersburg.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
PETERSBURG, September 81, 1875.
Only a slight rain dash about IL O'Clock
yesterday morning, and brief blow OF
wind in the afternoon, prevented the day
being wholly clement, and the churches We're
accordingly well attended. At the Hebrew
synagogue on Tabb street there were very
interesting exercises appropriate to YOm
Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which were
attended by a number Of Gentiles as we'll as
q large congregation Of the devout children
of the ancient faith. Rev. Alexander Gross
led the services, intoniug with singular
richness Of voice and earnestness of manner,
| while the choir music, rendered in Hebrew,
German. and English, was very fine.
The Hastings Court, Hon. E. 81. Mann
Judge, adjourned this afternoon after ses.
sion of three days. During its term three
divorces alb vipcatlis n,atrtn,oni were granted
by the court, two to colored couples and one
to an inharmonious white pair, and all on
the ground of marital infdelity. The viii
of the late W. P. Elam was admitted to
probate. The judge has issued DEGREES
during the session of the court distributing
81, 900 and $4,000 in different cases. Judge
Mann will leave for the mountains Tomorrow
morning.
The Sabbath was profaned yesterday by a
lively row in the eating-house and bar-room
OF Joe Robinson (colored), Oh Short.Markei
| street. T. seems that two white men, one
named Charles Edwards, went into the
house and got their dinner, for which they
refused and were unable to pay. Robinson
pitched into Edwards's companion and bea
bin severely, which Edwards resented, and
the war was transferred to him and the pro
prietor, and continued to be severe. The
two men were finally gotten around to the
station-house after series OF scufles on the
street, and there the matter was arranged
before a justice.
The colored company, the "Guards'
which Captain j. II. Hill commands, had o
full dress-parade to-day on the streets, and
showed great proficiency alike in the manual
and the eyolutionS. They also had target
shooting near the city somewhere, but the
result Of the same have not yet heard.
The Grays-the white infantry company
will bold meeting tomorrow night to per.
feet their organization under the captaincy
of Captain F. e. Wright. learn that Cap
tain Wright will not undertake to revive the
company unless seyenty-five good men are
put on the roll to begin with.
The new house Of W. j. II. Claiborne, on
Union street, approaches completion, and is
very stylish and handsome structure.

TIE DANvILLE DAILY NEWS is the title OF
the first daily newspaper ever published in
the town of Danville. 1t is edited By
Messrs. WATSON q SAVAGE, and displays very
decidedly journalistic abilities. We wish it
all success. DanVille is prosperous town.
It's the centre Of the finest tobacco-growing
region in Virginia. 1t is the home of fine
and growing population, and of society as
genial as the sun and as hospitable as people
can be. Lovely woman crowns with gold
en- light the honors of the place. The Dan
pours her f,wing stream by the foot of the
graceful town, and nature has layish!y be
slowed her favors upon it. We can but
compare with surprise the town now with
what it was when we first saw it, and we
wish it continued prosperity.

gentlemen inquirpg whether they would re-
sisn in order that there might be new cleo
ton. McESERY replies promptly that ne IS
willing to do so; but KELLOGG refuses TO 40
SO. He, however, states that a Legislature
is soon to be elected which may act upon the
matter. and may remove any and all OF the
nresent State officers. He knows, however,
that by law of the fraudulent Legislature
the present government has complete control
O. the elections, and can make the Leslsla-
ture what they please to make it. No other
answer could have been expected from KEEL

Unless the impromptu conference at the
custom-house result in much more com.
p!ete understanding than seems possible be-
tween the opposing parties, the troubles
which are gradually running the State will
continue to aflict her.-Ne,o York Times.
This is but poor hope for Louisiana, which
was once one of the richest and most pros.
porous of the States. Is the North willing
to leave such State to her fate2 We rather
think that the financial question involved In
the matter will stir up a somewhat deeper
interest in the affairs of Louisiana and some
other States before long.
