LAVEN DER.


How prone we are to hide and hoard
Each little token love has stored,
To tell of happy hours:
We lay aside with tender care .. .
A tattered book, a curl of hair,
bunch Of faded flowers.
When Death has led with pulseless hand
Our darlngs to the silent land,
while we sit bereft. .'a ..s 90.
But time goes on; anon we rise,
Our dead being buried from our eyes,
We gather what is left.
The books they loved, the songs they sang,
The little flute whose music rang
So cheerily of old;
The pictures we have watched them paint,
The last-plucked flower, with odor faint,
That fell from fingers cold.
We smooth and fold with reyercnt care
The robes they, living, used to wear;
And painful pulses stif,
As DER the relics of our dead,
With bitter rain of tears, we spread
Pale purple lavender.
And when we come in aftcr-years,
With only tender April tears
On checks once white with care,
10 look at treasures put away,
Despairing, on that tar.ott day,
A subtle scent is there.
Dew-wet and fresh we gathered them,
These fragrant tlowcrs-now every stem
Is bare of all its bloom.
Tcar-wet and sweet we strewed them here,
TO lend our relics sacred, dear,
Their beautiful perfume.
That scent abides on book and Lutte,
On curl and flower, and with its mute
But eloquent appeal
1t wins from lis n deeper sob
For our lost dcad-a sharper thrOb
Than we are wont TO feel.
1t whispers Of the long ago,
Its love, its loss its aching woe,
And buried sorrows stir;
And tears like those we shed of old
Roll down our checks rs we behold
Our faded lavender.

and We feel confident that the intelligence and
patriotism of the people cannot be SO cloudcd
by the partisan clamor of those who have lost
power by their own folly and reckless abuse of
1t, as to destroy the future prosperity of Mary
land by committing its government to those
who were, in 1867, driven from power by the
immense uprising of the people of this State
Citizens of Maryland, we have thus briefly
portrayed your present happy financial condi-
ton, and sought calmly and truthfully to warn
you ofyour danger. We have stated only facts,
and recalled to you the plain teachings of the
past We have presented to you as candidates
for State offices men whose record for patriot
ism, intelligence and purity of character cannot
be surpassed, and it remains for you, in your
several counties and the city of Baltimore, to
aid them by the election of your best men to
the Legislature, that by their united efforts such
reforms as experience may show TO be necessary
shall be secured under the administration of the
Democratic conservative party.
That its management in the past may have
been at times not rs discreet as, in the judg-
ment of some of its adherents, it might have
been, is possible; yet, judged by the general re-
suits ofthe government of this State, it will
challenge the approval of all fair and impartial
men.
By order of the State Central Committee.

papers are charging against the democracy,
without specification or proof, but by shameless
perversion of facts and figures, the very sins of
which their party at Washington, even under
the pallating reports of their own party, have
been found guilty by the verdict of the whole
country.
The attempt to throw discrcdit upon the man
agement OF the State treasury is as weak as it
Is false. Thcreare some things so patent to the
common comprehension that they cannot be
disturbed, even by the most barefaced Sian
derer.
The finances of the State are in a condition of
uneXampled prosperity, and we frankly chal-
lenge Il comparison of the condition of the
treasury with that of any State in the Union. Its
credit is at the highest point, and its certificates
oil debt are sought for in all quarters as the
safest Investments, for which the largest price
Is paid. Indeed, its stocks can hardly be pur-
chased at any reasonable figures, and wherever
oi1ered are seized upon by capitalists with the
greatest ayidity. reference to the daily re-
ported stock list will verify this assertion.
Inc expenditures of the State government are
being rapidly reduced. Under tho last two

a Washington despatch dated the Sth says
Senator Cameron, who was here to-day, expresses
the utmost confidence in the ability of the repub-
licans of Pennsylvania to elect their State ticket
next November. He says the victory gained in
Pennsylvania by the democrats last Fall was pure
ly accidental 1t was not owing to any serious de-
fiction among the republicans of the State, but
arose from local causes which have been swept
away by defeat which has served to make the re-
publicans united and determined in the pending
struggle. The third term question might have
troubled the republicans in the canvass had it not
been stihed by Grants letter. The third term,
however, is now cut of the canvass, and though
the democrats may keep up a beating upon their
gongs no one will be frightened. lie thinks the
President might have made his declnation more
pointed and positive, but has no doubt that he in.
tended to inform the country that he is looking
to a denomination. That is the view of the Presi-
dents letter all republicans take, and Mr. Cameron
thinks it is OF little consequence how the letter is
regarded by the democracy, or what motives they
may ascribe to the President. The letter was
written to the republicans of the country to salts
fly growing feeling of uneasness touching the
third term. They accept it as final, and will per-
NIT no division to be made in their ranks by the
transparent ieints of the enemy"

the object in view, and may adopt any which
might be appropriate and which were conducive
TO the end. Applying the reasoning of the Court
to this case, where the express power to enforce
the provisions of the amendment is given in the
fifth section it seems to me that Congress can leg
isate, even though a State had passed no obnox-
ious law, and may also in advance of such enact
ments as it may deem suitable and necessary, re-
medy the evil against which this amendment pro-
poses to guard. If the opinion in that case cor
rectly represents the extent of Congressional leg
isation the power of congress can be eXcrted di-
rectly to put down all Outrage or discrimination

mates only in OF color.

Outside Of the democratic papers there
is great unanimity in condemning the
course of the New Hampshire democrats.
and dissatisfaction with the eyasive course
of the court. which allows palpable out
rage to go unrebuked. The Boston ADJ
vertiser says: The failure 10 obtain a
decision on the points really in controver-
sy is disappointing, The republicans have
claimed that the governor was guilty OF
two wrongs: The first, in undertake. ing
to pass upon the qualifications Of candi-
dates, and the second, in making an erro-
eous decision. The court does not touch
upon either point, aud a precedent may
thus be allowed to grow ogt OF a danger
Gus and alarming usurpasion Republi-
cans who reflect calmly upon the affair
will ultimately admit That the constitution
gives the governor the power, not the
right. to count into the senate anybody
whomsoever. For the time being he i.
the interpreter of the constitution, and the
only remedy left is with the body which
has persons not elected thrust upon it
And US In this very case the result of the
act was to create body that would sus
tain the governors act, the only remedy
becomes no remedy at all. What was
wanted was an opinion whether the gov
ernor had right as well as power on his
side. And while we admit the ineonven
fence and improperly of The courts going
out OF its sphere to condemn the governor
for exceeding his rightful authority, We
cannot but wish that there had been som,
way of obtaining judicious opinion as tC
the worth of the principles on which thu
governor acted"
