THE CAPTAIN OF THE NoRTHFLEET.
DY GERALD MASSEY.

SO often Is the proud deed done
by men like this ut duty's call
SO many are the hon0ra won
by them, we cannot wear them oil
They make the heroic commonplace,
Aud dying thus the natural way;
Yet II is our worldwide English race
Eunobled by that death, to-day!
II brings the thoughts that fathoms things
To anchor fast where billows roll
II atirs us with sense Of wings
That strive to lift the earthicst Bonl.
Love was 10 new, and life so sweet,
But ut the call he left the wine,
Aud tprang full staured to his feet,
Responsive to the touch divine.
"Nay, dear, cannot see you die.
For me, have my work to do
Up here. Down to the boat Good-by.
God bless you. shall see 1t through
We read, until the vision dims
And browns; but, Gre the pang be past,
tide OF triumphs overbrims
And breaks with light from heaven at last
Thro' all the blackness of that night
A glory streams from out of the gloom
His bteadfast tplrit holds the light
That shines til night Is overcome.
The sea will do iia worst, and life
BE AObbed out IN DnDDNnB DreatHi
But firmly in tho coward strife
There stands nah who hath vanqllshod death
A soul that conquers wind and wave,
And towers above sinking deck,
A bridge across the gaping grave;
A rainbow rising DER the wreck.
He saved others; saved the name
Unsued that he gave his wife;
And dying with so pure an aim,
lie had no need to save his life.
Lord! how they shame the life we live,
These sailors Of our sea-g1rt isle
Who cheery take what Thou nayst give,
And go down with heayenward smile!
The men who SOW their lives to yield
A glorious crop in lives to be-:
Who turn 30 England's harvest field
The unfruitful burrows of the sea.
with such breed Of men so brave,
The old land has not had her day;
But long, her strength, with crested wave
Shall ride the seas, the proud old way.

AND SE0sIHLE ADVICE.

The editor OF the Norfolk Va.
Landmark is n clear-headed and saga
cious mau. Treating of the recent
Mississippi embroilment, he gives this
sensible advice 1--WE may fairly de-
maud from the white people wise re-
serve in their lit 4rcourse with the ne
groes. In this case it appears, that
white men, through idle curiosity,
were present, aud provoked the un-
authorized interference of the Mar
shall, whose action precipitated the
collision. 1t is true they had a right
to be present but every considera-
ton of policy and reIft aspect should
have restrained them from attending
the meeting. Had they left the ne
groes to their own devices this tragedy
would not have been enacted, and the
unhappy man whose illegal whiskey
brought about the trouble would not
have been murdered after his surrender.
In one word, our friends in the Gulf
States should hold themselves aloof
from tumuituous meetings Of the
blacks, and leave them to their orators
aud leaders, the idols to whom they
are irrevocably joined. There is but
one course for the white people to
adopt in the intensely black States,
and hat we have indicated. When
ever they depart from this they Will be
liable to the same treatment Sivelley
received, ard will run the risk, as hap
pened in this case, of involving others,
remote even from the scene of action.
There is ample room for the two races,
aud in the present agitated frame of
the Ethiopiad mind (?) in some of the
States to the South of Us. the very best
thing for the white people to do is to
abstain from all intact with the ne
groes on public occasions of a poliii-
cal nature. To violate this sound rule,
alike enforced by considerations of
public peace and personal dignity, will
be TO incur the risk of just such scenes
as that which has been enacted in
Mississippi.

The Atlanta Herald's reporter has
interviewed General Gordon, who has
returned from mississippi. Gordon
thinks the Democracy will carry the
State this time in fact, they are sick
of Radicalism and are determined to
do so. He says the main fight of the
Democrats will be made on the Legis-

to the Senate of the United States
He has hopes of two other Democratic
Congressman besides Lamar. We
hope General Gordon will prove true

By Mr.. Rumly, motion that 6
Committee of five be appointed to
wait on his Exce!iency, the Governor,
aud inform him of the organization
of this Convention and ready to re-
ceive any communication from him.
Mr.. Turner opposed the motion,
| thought the Governor was thoroughly
indifferent and did not care whether
| the Convention was organized Or not.
! His action in ordering the Orange
county election, thirty days after he
was notified instead of ten days,
showed that the Governor, or his
party, did not desire a Convention and
he was not willing to notify him of
this or any other action of the Con-
yention.
Mr.. Reid conceded with Mr.. Tur-
Der in his views of the action of the
Executive in regard TO the Orange
county vacancy, but he thought it en-
inently proper that this body, sitting
as representatives of the sovereigns of
North Carolina in the capital, that his
Exceilency, the Governor. should be
informed of the organization of this
body, etc. Mr.. Reid was interrogated
during his remarks by Messrj. Badger
ard Tourgee. as to his opinion,
whethor or not the Governor had the
power to order the election III Orange
IL less time than thirty days IL accor-
dance with law.
Mr. Reid said, he thonght the Gov
crror's power was ample and complete
to order the election earlier, and the
fact that he was IN favor Of All imme-
diate adj jDurn ment OF the Convention,
it was clear that he did not intend
that Orange county should be repre-
scnted il full. After further discus
sion between Messrs. i'OGrgee and
Turner, the vote was l@ken on the
motion and all the members with the
exception of Mr.. Turner voted in the
affirmative.

that such riots as have afflicted Mis-

it is because these States are out of

THE report on tho condition of the
laboring classes recently presented to
the French Assembly does not sustain
the common belief in the thrift and
sobriety OF the French poor. In Eng
land also, though the sanitary condi-
tion OF the factories has been greatly
improved of late years, deterioration
rather than an improvement has been
observed in the physical strength of
those who work in them. Ia the case

The State Journal publishes to-day an
other installment of abuse against Speak
er Haines as lobbyist" This time the
inventor of scavenger journalism quotes,
or pretends to quote, from the Peoria
Transcript, but whether the State .Jour-
nat claims originality or not, 1t is alike
seandaluus and Indecent. Mr. Haines is a
member Of the legislative department of
the state government. 1t is his privilege
10 be heard ON the floor, and his duty to
his constituents demands that he should
use his influence there. But John l.. Bev-
eridge is governor OF this state, the chief
executive of Illinois, and there has been no
more persistent lobbyist during the SEES
sion than Gov. Beveridge. He ignores
the dignity which belongs to his Office, and
may be seen almost any time on the floor
of either house, button holing members
to get them to vote on his side of the va
rious measures presented. Is it not
strange that while Republican papers and
legislative correspondents have had SO
much to say of Dir. Haines' lobbying,
they never feel called unon to notice Coz,
