THE SABBATH BELLS.

ae HaA-
The old man sits in his easy-chsir,
And his ear has caught the ringing
Of many church-bell far and near,
Their own sweet music singing.
AMI his head sinks low on the aged breast,
While his thoughts far back are reaching
To the Sabbath merns of his bsyish days,
And a mether's sacred teaching.
A few years later, and 10 !! the bells
A merrier strain were pealing.
4 And heavenward bore the marriage vows
Which his manhood's joys were sealing.
But the old mans eyes are dimmiag now,
As memory holds before him
Z The sad, sad picture Of later years,
When the tide Of grief rolled o'er him.
When the bells were tolling for loved ones
gone!
For the wife, for the sons and daughters.
Who, one BY one, from his home went out,
And down into deaths dark waters.
B0tthe aged heart has still one joy
Which his old life daily blssses,
And his eyes grow bright and his pulses
Meath . erandchild's sweet carssses.
But the old man wakes from his rsvsris,
And bis dear old face 10 smiling,
While the child with her serious eyes reads
lAs on, esa
The Sabbath hours beguiling.
All /! bells, once more 70 will ring for him,
When the heavenly hand shall sever
The cord Of life, and his freed soul fiss
TO dwell with his own forever. s5

friends, turned states evidence, laid
open the frauds, he had long been par
ty to, created popular excitement
and rode triumphantly into the halls
of the United States Senate. This
year he is by the same means endeav-
oring to elect State ticket subservient
to his will. With an ambition equal
to his treachery, he has longing eye
on the Presidency and he wants the
assistance of this State to further his
designs. But he can never get it. He
has lost this State by large majority.
The rebuke he and his followers will
this year receive, may serve to soften
his fall from the giddy heights at
which he has been soaring to the medi-
ocre level, to which he belongs. II it
does not, We may at some near time,
at his untimely death have to mourn,
as we did that of HORACE GREELY,
another victim of Disappointment.
We would rather BOOTH should live
to enjoy the bitter fruits of his own
growing. We would rather he should
live to see the old Democracy in pow
er and hear himself condemed by the
party he betrayed as traitor to a
great cause, as man false to his best
friends, and recreant to those to whom
he had sworn eternal fidelity.

WE learn that while here Senator
BOOTH expressed astonishment and
dissatisfaction at the so called Inde-
pendent County ticket. He pointed
out to the leaders that they had COM
mitted grave, and he feared, fatal
mistake in permitting the Federal Of
flee ring to make up the ticket. He
feels that if the candidates are elect
ed, in place of remaining with and
strengthening the Independent organ
ization, they will assist in killing it
by going over to the Republican par
ty from whence they were taken. He
recognized at glance that the Inde-
pendent candidates were nearly all
Republicans and he knows that they
have no sympathy with the Indepen-
dent movement. He saw that his
friends had been duped and deceived
into nominating their worst enemies.

Senator Booths Speech.

We were in hopes, that the distin-
guished leader of the great "purity
party,n would not commit himself in
any manner, in his address to the
people of this city. We understand
and appreciate the feelings of respect
and admiration, entertained by honest
citizens for a United States Senator
1t is human nature to admire the man
who has been elevated to such an hon
ored station. Far be it from US to de-
tract from any mans honor but when
public man, be his position high or
low, places himself in vulnerable
position by his own utterances, then
his record becomes public property.
Wew certainly astonished at the
cool audacity with which Senator
BOOTH denounced the "Despotism of
Party" A man who owes his eleva-
tion to the Gubernatorial chair of this
State, and his notoriety throughout
this entire coast,to the rigid discipline
of the Republican party, should blush
with shame at the thought that he
ever delivered himself of such an ex-
preston. Four years ago when he
was nominated for Governor-when
the "despotism of party" was welded
in his favor, and when he in his
speeches upheld that despotism, and
exhorted the Republicans from Siski-
you to San Diego, to stand firm, and
to follow the party that he said had
saved this county, when plunged in a
civil war, no such thought as the
"despotism of party" ever entered his
head. He was too corrupt then. 1t
was only after he became "purified,n
by breaking faith with his truest
friends; it was only when in violation
of his pledge not to use his high office
as stepping stone to the United
States Senate; when he saw no hopes
of success in his own party and deter
mined to go before the people and lay
before them its rottenness, that the
idea of the "Despotism of Party" sug-
gested itself. He saw it in power to
be exerted in his own favor. He
coupled it with the cry of reform, of
purity, that fell from his lips, and
with degree of effrontry that would
have done justice to despot aided by
hungry band of office seekers, he
made venomous attack upon the
breast that had nurtured him, the
head that had counsled him, the pow
er that had elevated him, forsook his

A Lame Explanation.

1t would have been well for Judge
BLACK ifhe never had written word
about the BIDwELL title. He con-
fesses that the notorious HARRY Nc
GRAH interposed to have the appeal
dismissed in this case. Mr.. BLACK
full well knew there was not the first
condition in BIDwELL's papers to con-
stitute Mexican grant. He refused
at first to listen to the nephew Of Pres
ident BUCHANAN, HARRY MCGRAH,
as an able Lawyer should do. He
was again appealed to by HARRY and
then he shifted the responsibility on
Mr.. STANTON, a subordinate in his of
flee. The $4,000 ofhonest JOHN got
STANTON as he and HARRY were on
the divide. HARRY was, during the
administration of Mr.. BUCHANAN
the go between In all the departments
for all kinds of mail contracts, Indian
supplies and all the stealing of these
days, which were few compared with
with those of our present ring, but
such as they were HARRY had to be
seen and the venal rascal was the black
spot on this administration. BU-
cHANAN and his good niece, Miss
LANE, begged this fellow TO leave
Washington, but 20 no use. HARRY
was the JOHN DELANo of that day.
The letter of BLACK and HARRY's
completely is proof to every discrimi-
mating mind in the Union that JOHN
BIDwELL used his money to corrupt a
department; to swindle the govern
ment and people out of $4,000 acres of
public land. SENATOR SARGENT is
correct in all he says about this BID
WELL steal. BLACKS letter proves it
beyond question Of doubt. We will
do BLACK the credit to say that we do
not believe he ever received q dollar
of BIDwELHs money, but HARRY and
STANTON did.

Col. J. ]. Warner, leading Independent OF
Los Angeles county, said recently, in pub
lie speech at an Independent meeting, that
Judge Thompson, the Independent candi-
date for Congress in the Fourth District, was
put up by the Central Pacific. The Bulletin
supports Thompson.-S. +. Alta.
If the Colonel's statement is correct
it affords proofpositive that the rail-
road company has gone out of politics
and into the past time of putting up
candidates that have no more chance
for election than HoUGHTON has for
a third term. If the railroad company
"put up" Judge THOMPSON they are
indeed out of politics and ought to be
in an insane asylum.
