Immediately !

good many complaints from the country have
reached us as to the alleged mismanagement of the
Republican State campaign, and the consequent in
roads of Mr.. Lucius Robinson upon Gov. Morgans
strength. The complainers have always held Mr A.
b. Cornell in some way responsible We have had
occasion to look into the matter somewhat and are
inclined to think that they do this gentleman IN
Justice. The circumstances of the nominating con-
vention, and his appointment to the committee,
placed him from the outset in peculiarly delicate
position but VIC have seen no reason to believe
that he has not discharged his duties with single
hearted fidelity, and according to his best lights.
If there has been trouble in the conduct of the State
campaign it will probably be needful to look else
where for 1t.

1t comes very hard to get up much sympathy
over the recent discovery Of Democratic con-
spiracy in Philadelphia to facilitate fraudulent
voting. There is general impression, wicked
and unjust, no doubt, that the industry of
both parties in that city is about equal in the
matter of fraudulent devices, and the outside
public takes only a languid interest in the
party that happens to outstrip the other. JUST
now the Republicans seem to be ahead.

Mr.. L. p. Morton of Morton, Bliss & Co.
has been nominated for Congress in the Muir
ray Hill district. Mr.. Morton is not poti-
clan, but successful banker, ard his accept

gratitude therefore, at learning that he has
consented to forego his private interests and
obey this call to a public duty. Two years
ago this district was carried 10y Mr.. Willis, IN

Between him and Mr.. Morton there can be no
comparison whatever and we trust that there
can be no doubt of Mr.. Morton's election. Tho
district is naturally Republican, and Mr. Nor
ton will certainly command more than every
Republican vote in it.

Congress yesterday.

In the Senate yesterday, a bill was
introduced amending the act providing
for the admission of Colorado to the
Union, but objection being made to
its present consideration the bill went
over. The bill amending the pension
act was further discussed, but no action
taken on it. Mr.. Wadleigh's motion
to reconsider the vote adopting the
conference report on the 3.65 bond
bill of the District of Columbia, was
laid on the table. The bill comforting
exclusive jurisdiction over Indian re-
servations upon the U. s. Courts and
for the punishment of crimes commit
ted by and against the Indians, was
debated at length and referred to the
committee on Indian Affairs. The
death of Congressman Starkweather.
of Conn, was announcer and appro-
pirate action taken thereon.
In the house it was ordered that
Saturdays session be for debate only.
A bill was introduced for the eeualiz-
alton and settlement of all claims for
damages sustained by reason Of public
improvements in the District Of Col
umbia. A bill was reported for the
construction of a custom house OF
Memphis, Tenn, and limiting the ap-
preparation to 100000; after debate
the limit was fixed at $40O, O,06o. The
death of Mr. Starkweather, late men,
ber of the House from Connecticut,
was announced, a number of eulogies
delivered, and resolutions of respect
and coincidence adopted, after which
the House adjourned.

OLD LOVE.

The br adsword lcoses Its glitter
AS it hangs in the ancient hall:
Rusted and blunt grows the keen edged
blade
That once so gallant n champion made
As it cleaned from the castle wall.
The jewel losps its lustre
AS it lies in its velvet nest,
Till dull and dim is the COED red gold
That showed such royal liz hit OF old
AS it flashed from a beauty's breast.
The blue eye loses its power
AS age comes creeping on;
The fair form dr0ops from it's stately grace
The ros es fly from the care-worn face,
The charm from the trembling tone.
The color fades from the canvas,
The magic from ringing rhyme;
Nor is there joy in this world OF ours,
Riches. or glories. or hopes, or flowers,
But dies at the touch of time?
Ay, Love in his pure serenity
Can the pitiless spell defy,
For tears cannot drown or absence dim
And death himself may not conquer him,
For true love never can die.
