MR.. MASON'S POSITION.

Some discussion aud controversy having
arisen in relation to the position of Mr.. Mason.
the delegate from Jefferson county, in relation
to the impeachment proceedings, arspOrsSs
of the Register called upon that gentleman
last Saturday night aud elicited the following
expression Of his viewE:
Mr.. Mason says that from the beginning Of
this controversy he has maintained that
TtsaAurer Burdett ought to DO (and If the
case be properly managed will Boy cSnyictodI
aud that the case against Auditor Bennett wills
fail. if forced before the Senate. That the
prosecution ought to be conducted by Demo-
cratic managers, because Democrats should
purge their own party and not turn the JOB
over to Republicans.
He says that the Board Of Managers oriRi>
nally consisted Of four Democrats, two ReA
publicans aud one Independent Neither
BIakemors nor Wsleh attended any meeting
Of the Board, nor paid any attention to the
investigation that was had. Mr.. Mason was
thus left in q committee of which the repub>
licans had = majority, aud his efforts to make
a fair investigation were hampered his eoun~
sells were disrsgarded, aud ho found that he
could not agree with tho conclusions Of the
committee. Finding that he oould not act
under Republican dictation in what appeared
to be q scheme to furnish party capital to the
Radical faction, he had resigned his position
as enc Of the Board Of Nanagers.
He says further that he is convinced, from
the testimony adduesd before the committee,
that the charges Of bribery, conspiracy aad
extortisn cannnot be sustained before the
Senate. The investigation Of these charges
will involve the summoning of an immense
number Of witnesses aud occasion an enor.
nous expense. Believing that ne such casS
can be made out, he was avsrse TO subjeesine
the State to this unnecessary outlay, and hence
had voted against those articles Of impaaohs
mSnt in which these ofensss were eharged.
In his opinion the only question in the case
is, whether it is an impeachabls ofonso foF
an oficsr to receive large presents from psrs
soss interested in the performance Of his ~
fetal duty. He says that, in legal aspect,
if spsciic crime is alleged, ne denarToF

of receiving presents to influence the officer
in the discharge of his duty be made, dss

Our meeting was . brief eneSdady.
A il we had met but to pSrti
But yeArs cannot rAss tho imprsSsl0n
That q moment oft stanaps on the heart.
Though far from thy smiles and thy Drsasnsa
Ny home and vocation may be.
Yet there o'er the steep retmountaina
Ny thoughts are reading with thee.
1t Is late in tho chilly November.
And fallen the leaves from the trees.
And 1t seems that the saduess of parting
Is borne on the wings Of the breeze.
As shades on the hills aRd the valleys,
By the clouds of the winter are wrought,
30 life wears the gloom of the sorrow,
That we met; Ahl We met but to part.
It ia sweet to remember theo, lady,
For thy bright and thy ready replies.
For the soft and the winning expression,
That shone in thy beautiful eyes.
Oh love to remember thee, lady.
7 might Try to forget thee in vain.
And hope for the bliss in tho future
OF meeting thee often again.
