HE AUTUMN RAIN.
Down falls the autumn rain,
Harp strings against the frame

Down falls the autumn rain,
Harp strings against the frame
OF Ebon night
Flow, dow, now, fow.
In steady flight
The sounds awake and hy,
Awake, and multiply
Now fast, now slow.
Wet shadows stalk the earth,
Winds roar in riotous mirth-
Rush, rush, rush, rush.
The poplar bends and sways,
The rain weeps and 1t prays;
One hour winds hush
The oak means and harsh creaks,
The red-scarred maple speaks
Blow, blow, blow, blow.
The vine against the wall
Olings close, boughs break and fan,
The blossoms GO
Leaves droop and fold on fold
Like little waves are rolled.
Fall. fan, fall, fall
Grass bends like dag ger blades,
Broke PUSHES in the glades
Together matted crawl.
Swallow in chimney steep
Blown from his sooty sleep
Drip, drip, drip, drip.
Cat at the hearth-stone lies,
Bird tween him and the skies,
His cup at cIuel Lip.
The window-curtain slowly stirs,
Weathercock without sharp whirrs-
Rain is falling faster.
Around the house, mp rugged street,
Demons of The night-storm sweep;
Earth hath found its master.
Flow, how, how, how.
A thousand pools are trimming;
The autumn harp is hymning
Melodious strains and slow.
1t dies away at break Of day;
The world is wet and cold and pale,
And tells a dreary winters tale.

WAsHINGroN, Nov. 5.-The Democratic House
will engage in the work of Investigations as soon
as committees are formed, and perhaps some in
vestigations will be ordered in advance of the
committee announcements Many resolutions
have been prepared for early presentation. One
of the first Investigations to be ordered is of
the administration OF the Department of JUS
of the charges is that bogus "Soutbern out
RACES " were manufactured in Washington by
officers or agents of that department, partly for
political effect and partly to forward private
schemes of the detectives. The Pacific Mail in-
vestlgation comes over as a legacy from the last
Congress, and must be continued. The Whisky
Ring will be investigated, 30 it is prom
ised, in order to bring to the pub
lie attention such things as might
cause scandal, If no good end were to be at

long threatened subject of new investigation,
the chief object sought by the projectors being
the vindication of Columbus Alexander. Navy
Department contracts and Indian frauds are also
on the list with many others, as the auction bills
say, " too numerous to menton.' The policy
of the Republican leaders will be not to ob5truct
Investigations in any way. but simply to doniand

THE SUCCESS OF FKERR-D!sAPPoINTMENT OF RAN

ousLY DEALT WITH.
Special Dispatch to the Net0 York Times.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-The apparent strength
ening of Mr.. Kert's forces yesterday has been
proved real by tho votes in the caucus to-day.
The Randall men, by their tactics of brag and
blur, deceived many, and few people were
foolish enough to evince their faith in his pros
poets by investing money in tho pools, where he
field. The character of the support given him
the better class of Democrats to engage
earnestly at tho last moment in support of
Mr.. Kerr. When the CAUCUS met this af-
ternoon the friends Of Randall who were
taken into the most secret councils admitted
that his chances were not favorable. Till yester-
day Mr. Randall seemed to have the foremost
position. This admitted by Mr.. Kerr
friends. 1t is probable, however, that Randalls
strength was all the time over. estimated, and
that the number of votes he received to-day was
~ great as he could nave at any time reasonably
expected 1t is asserted by his followers that
he WAS treacherously dealt with, aud it WAS
clear lust night that somebody was to be cheat
ed, since ten names or moro were on both lists,
and at least one Democratic member had made
written pledges to both Kerr and Randall.
Three ballots were taken. as follows First,
Randall So. Kerr H. Cox 81 Second, Randall
63, Kerr II, Cox 81 ; Third, Randall 63, Kerr 90
Cox 7. The Cox men generally went over to
Kerr, and so elected him.

From the New York Herald, Dec.
The election of Mr.. Kerr places in the Speak
el's chair gentleman of character, who will nc
doubt perform tho duties of that office with dig
nifty and fairness. The elements which elected
him, however, are not calculated to strengthen
the party throughout the country. From the very
beginning Mr.. Kerr has been supported by the
Bourbons of the democracy. He represents that
element Which has labored since the beginning
of the war to return the democratic party to the
position it occupied under Buchanan. His sue
CESS as Speaker is virtually Il repetition of the
policy which made Cockrell Senator from Mis-
souri,, Wallace from Pennsylvania and Eaton
from Connecticut 1t shows that the leaders of
the democratic party have learned nothing from
the results Of the war. They are as stiff necked
iii accepting the consequences of that great
event as Pharaoh when he held the people of
Israel and would not let them CO.
Altogether the event il deplorable, looking at
1T from democratic point of view and it seems
tho democrats will mover learn wisdom. This
House, which came into power to reform the
country, to overthrow Bourbonism, to free the
party from the malign influence of Tammany
Hall seems to begin in the old old way. This
election gives the republicans another chance.
From the Wilmington Herald, Dec. 8
The defeat of Mr.. Randall in the Democratic
caucus in Washington on Saturday night for the
Speakershp of the House, was the result of a
well arranged system of lying and cheating. So
far was his election conceded that it was con-
Hidered doubtful if there would be any necessity
for more than two ballots. But the wires of the
caucus were pulled by a number of tricksters
The whole defeat may be attributed to the action
of Fernando Wood, who Instead of keeping his
word, and casting his influence for Mr.. Randall,
secretly plotted against him, not only casting his
influence for Michael O. Kerr, but voting for
linn ODeuly.
