A HERO.

He has not fashion, wealth, nor worldly station
Nor has he aught of grand scholastic lo'e;
Early and late he tolls at his vocation
But no one hungry ever leaves the door,
No childish eve upturned to his appealing,
Fer prays in vain; no beggar passing BY
No wounded spirit its deep pain concealing'
But find response in that true heart and eye
The widow and the orphan know It's poun'yi
The hungry and the poor his loaf nave shareu
The eheayy-burdened his strong arm mas hlteu'
And his own strength Of manhood never spareu
No truer eye e'er told its honest purpose
No nobler heart e'er beat in human breast
And still the weary feet are onward pressing,
And the tired hands can find no time for rest
Earth knows him not No, for the angels often
Are visitors among us unawaresi
'Tis said they come our cares and griefto softeu'
Silently down the the cleaning golden stair
And when my Hero, who is e'er ascending,
Has reached the top, the world will never know
Perhaps, that it was better for his presence,
And few will gIieve that he was called to CO.
The oilstained hands will tellno tales OF DleSSihg
II was their wont so constant to bestoW;
And the dumb lips, as now, refuse confessing
The deeds of love and charity they know.
All good deeds blossom constantly around him,
And peace and purity about him shine:
The loving angels always bend above him
.And walk with him. Is not this life sublime2

Mr.. Caleb P. Marsh testifes that he
talked with the late Secretary of War
four years ago about the publication in
the New York Tribune at that time of the
sale of the post-tradership at Fort Sill,
He asked Belknap how that could have
been instigated, and Beiknap said it
must bave been the work of Gen. Hazen,
This probably accounts for Hazen's ban
ishment to the most remote station oi
the army.

THE most pitiful thing about poor Mrs.
Belknap's case is, that she cannot be
made to see the enormity of her offense.
The Springfield Republican says her re-
ported remark that she only did what
others were doing, recalls poor Lady Nor
daunt.

GENTLEMEN: In reply to our sugges-
ton, l beg to say that in consequence of
the election of last November, | found
myself confronted with hostile Legisla-
ture, and embarrassed and baffled in my
endeavors to carry out my plans for the
welfare of my State and my party. re-
solved, therefore, to resign my office as
Governor of the State of Mississippi, but
meanwhile articles of impeachment were
instituted against me, and of course l
could not and would not retire from my
position under the imputation of any
charge affecting my honor or integrity.
For the reason indicated, l still desire to
escape the burdens which are compensa-
ted by no public usefulness, and if the
articles ofimpeachment presented against
me we're dismissed, l should feel at lib
erty to carry out my desire and purpose
of resignation.
| am, very truly, yours,
ADELBERT AMEs.
At 3 O'Clock the Impeachment court as
sembIed, and Mr.. Featherton presented
the resolutions and asked that the i'm
peachment articles against Gov. Ames be
dismissed, which was done.
Mr.. Durant, of Governor Ames' coun-
sci, then read as follows.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
JACKSON, 81, March rs. !
To the People of the Stale Of Mississippi!
hereby respectfully resign my office
of Governor of the State of Mississippi.

Colonel J, NJ. Stone, President pro tenn.
of the Senate, was installed as Governor
at 5 D. m.
The resignation of the Governor was a
complete surprise to all excepta few who
had agreed on the plan last night. Re-
publicans generally are quite indignant.

and the "6re-eater of fre-eaters" says !:
''He was one of the few men in
South Carolina who opposed to the very

State to that grave and most perilous
experiment He was notoriously an an
tagonist of that movement; spoke and
voted in the South Caroline Senate
against the ordinance Of secession, and
has been universally recognized since
the war as one Of the most moderate
men in any Southern State. So far
from being the "fire-eatsr Of 6re-
eaters," he has been in very truth the
conservative of conservatives. He was
the first man. believe. in all the south,
if not the whole country, to advocate

turning Board-so stsrnly condemned
last year for its frauds by Messrs

and makes Hayes best friends tremble

THE CRowNING INFAMY IN SouTn

not support its authority, which the
Board have denied. the vote of the
State must be counted for Hayes The
throwing out Of two Democratic coun-
ties gives the State and the Legislature.
vhich carries United States Senator
ship with it, to the Republicans The
audacity Of this act betrays great des-
peration. If undone in the course Of
justice it will stand as monumental
infamy Even if the Court fails to
reach the Board the electoral vote of
the State will be little better than
stolen goods, which will taint the re-
ceiver as we'll as the sharp practitioners
who purloined it. Can the Republican
party afford to take it's first instalmeDt

The TRUE AND VITAL IssUE.-The
real issue. the true and vital issue, the
issue upon the rigbtful decision of which
the American people have set their
hearts day is not whether Gov Hayes
or Gov. Tilden is to be declared elected
President. but whether they are to have
q President who, beyond fair and rea-
sonable doubt in the minds of impartial
men, has been freely and honestly elect
ed, and declared elected, according to |
the Constitution and the laws of the |
land, or whether they are to have rea-
sonable ground for supposing that their
will. expressed at the polls on the 7th |
day of last month, has been thwarted
BY dishonest men acting in the interest
Of party. The certain and assured evils
arising from loss of confidence in the
means adopted by US for procuring a
fair and true expression of the national

The Republican party have been con-
elusively beaten in the elections held
on November 7th, and the people Of the
United States, have thus shown that
their anger at the open profession of
political immortality is not to be dissi-
pated BY party cries designed to arouse
panic, The D. mocratic candidates were
not successful so much because the elec-
tors had profound confidence in the
eminent fitness for executive power of
Mr.. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks, or be-
cause they preferred tho Democratic
view of State rights, the currency and
the tariff questions to the Republican
view, but rather because they had ceas-

the assurances on which the Republi-
cans demanded the maintenance Of their
party in power"
The Nation rep says:--The board
