Nightfall.

Alone stand; on either hand
In gathering gloom stretch sea and land;
Beneath my feet, with ceaseess beat,
The waters mulmur low and sweet.
Slow falls the night; the tender light
OF stars grows brighter and more bright;
The lingering ray of dying day
Sinks deeper down and fades away.
Now fast, now slow, the south winds blow.
And softly whisper, breathing low;
With gentle grace they kiss my face;
Or fold me in their cool embrace,
Where one pale star, DER waters far,
DroOps down to touch the harbor bar
A faint light CLEANS, a light that seems
To grow and grow till nature teens
With mellow haze; and to my gaze
Comes proudly rising with its rays
No longer dim, the moon; its rim
In splendor gilds its billowy brim.
watch It gain the heavenly plain;
Behind 1t trails a starry train,
While low and sweet the wavelets beat
Their murmuring music at my feet.
Fair night of June! yon silver moon
Cleans pale and still. The tender tune,
Faint-iOating, plays, in moonlight lays,
A melody Of other days.
IT'S sacred ground; peace profound
Comes DER my soul. hear no sound,
Save at my feet the ceaseess beat
OF waters murmuring low and sweet.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS-.

Congress has at length adjourned,
and we hardly doubt that the an
nouncement will be welcomed as a re-
lief by all who hear it. Whether they
be Congressman themselves or polite
ians outside of Congress, or lobbyists,
or Office seekers, or Office holders or
Democrats or Radicals or Editors of
Newspapers or Readers of them. The
doings of congress however important,
however interesting, are possessed of
an interest quite capable of being ex-
hausted, and have this session been
subject to a treatment peculiarly ex-
hausting.
1t must be admitted that the trans
actions of the Congress of 1876
are to no one altogether satisfactory.
One circumstance alone has effectually
prevented their becoming so, namely
the fact that, at time when party
spirit ran unusually high, the prepond-
erance in one house was Republican,
in the other Democratic. This is east
ly accounted for by the popularity that
the House of Representatives changes
its personnel much more rapidly than
the Senate, the whole of the for
mer going out of Office in two years
while only one third of the Senate
goes out in the same time, so that it
takes six years to change the whole
body of the Senate. Now, at the time
when the present House of Represen-
tatives was elected, striking reaction
was going on in public opinion. Down
to the last reelection of General
Grant four years ago the whole nation,
all of it, that is, which was free to ex-
press its sentiments was with wonder
full unanimity republican. A prepond-
Grant majority voted republican in both
houses and the President and Cabinet
were of course devoted to the same
party, and so despotically was this pre-
ponderance pushed by parliamentary
management that the Democracy was
scarcely heard except in the form of a
protest CONTEMPORARY disregarded by
the predominant party.
Before however the time arrived for
the present House of Representatives
to be elected, many causes had COM
bined to produce a great reaction in
public sentiment. The high handed
usurpations of Federal prerogative,
the rapidly increasing public expendi-
ture and above all the astounding d.
mansions of public peculation and cor
ruption, not yet the subject of official
Investigation but yet incapable of con-
cealment- -all these and other causes
eoncurred to establish strong Demo-

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

/ THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
The work of organization is being
quietly and theoretically pushed for
ward. with results which are very en-
couraging to all who desire a change
in conducting the administration of
our national affairs. The letters of
acceptance have had a very decided
influence upon the direction of public
opinion. Men who were in darkness
as to the position which Tilden and
Hendricks would take upon the proper
method of solving the grave political
problem now confronting us, have re-
ceived assurance from these epistles
that they are the candidates who have
clear ideas upon the subject, and who
will, when elected, fearlessly carry
out their views. The fact that they
and the honest men throughout the
land are in strict accord as to the
principles upon which the Govern
ment should be conducted, has very
soothing effect upon the minds of men
who were in doubt about the matter,
and is drawing them in great numbers
to the Reform standard.
Other things have had a great infu-
ence in increasing our numbers. In
fight men like to be on the winning
side, and there are so many plain in
dications that the tide is running
strongly in our favor, that the neces-
sity of drumming up recruits does not
exist. The result Of the battle in AL
ALBANIA has clearly established the fall
sity of the statements, first, that fair
election cannot be had in the South,
without the interference of the militia
ry, and second, that when the people
of that section are left free in the ex-
ercise of the franchise they will al
ways give majority to the Republi-
cans. This election will have very
decided effect upon the fortunes of the
two parties. The loss of their hold
upon the South will be to the Repub-
licans blow as severe as any they
could be called upon to endure. 1t
has been the great section from whence
their most available political capital
has been derived. By fomenting dis
sensions between the blacks and the
whites, and instigating the worst por
tons OF each race to the commission
of atrocious crimes and outrages, they
have been enabled to hold up the
whole section as in the hands of a
lawless and irresponsible mob, which
could not be kept in check without
the bayonets of the soldiers. This IL
fusion has been dispelled. Alabama
gives 10000 Democratic majority,
without sign of disorder. The me-
groes of the State are at length per-
ceiving under whose rule they are
safest and most prosperous, and are
fiocking into the Democratic fold.
Indiana has also materially helped
the cause by asserting her indepen-

OUR IMPRESSION OF The STATE
CONVENTION.

We have presented our readers this
week as adequate description of the
proceedings at Nashville on the ninth
as we are able. 1t would be useless
for us to say that it's platform is al
together satisfactory to us-the whole
previous course of this paper would
contradict us if we did. But the old
Greek aphorism comesin pleon heneisu
pantoS the half is better than the
whole-meaning the half you can do
is better than the whole which you can
only wish for, and we are consoled for
not being able to accomplish all we
could wish by seeing how much
worse things might have been.
We expect to have little to say on
State politics now till legislature meets
giving all our efforts now to the great
Presidential contest. With an honest
and economical Federal Government
which shall leave more of our money
in our pockets for State purposes, we
can still look forward hopefully to the
day when our State Indebtedness will
no longer be an insoluble problem.

A SAD LETTER.

|
Having occasion to visit Stewart
county last week, [ heard of one of
the most dastardly murders that /
have known for years. Mr.. McClish,
living near Dover, was on his way
home on Monday, 9TH inst, on foot.
Some distance from town he fell in
company with two negroes-Bill
Mockbee and another whose name l
have forgotten. One of them was
carrying an axe, and walking in front
of his victim when, turning suddenly
around, he dealt him a blow on the
side of the head with the pole of the
axe and mashed his skull. They then
dragged him about one hundred yards
from the road, and literally chopped
his head off; and after robbing him of
his hat, shoes, and os.e dime, they left
him to become food for the vultures
of the air, Search was instituted for
the missing man, but he was not found
till Saturday. One of the negroes left
his old hat near the murdered man,
and it led to their detection. Great
excitement prevailed, and it was
thought that a mob, with no confidence
in the certainty of justice being meted
out to these inhuman wretches, would
take them from the guard and make
short work of it. However, the Cir
cult Court convened there last Mon
day, and the law may have its course.
Mr.. McOlish was a poor, but quiet,
christian man. He embraced religion
last fall, and afterward attached him
self to the Methodist Church, in which
he promised great usefulness. His
wife and two little ones are left in
truly deplorable condition.
Leaving community that | loved,
in the midst of gracious revival, yet
overwhelmed with this shocking affair,
l dashed away to Cedar Hill camp
meeting, weary worn and sad. The
blues had hardly passed away amid the
heartfelt how do-ye-do' of Monday,
when still more shocking affair over
whelmed me. | had just arrived on
Monday night with my good friend,
w. r. Featherston, of Cedar Hill, and
begun to talk on subjects dear to US,
when a freight train passed the depot
some 30 feet from our room. Soon
after it passed l heard meanings at the
depot, and went down Immediately
with my friend and beheld a sight
which will remain photographed upon
my mind forever My old friend and
formerly family physician, DR.. B. A.
Morris, lay upon the railroad track,
the most horribly mangled object that
l ever beheld. T. j. Ayers and one
or two others had reached him before
did, and were doing everything in
their power for the dying man. He
recognized me, but could hardly make
himself understood. His right leg
was broken in three places bis left In
two; his left arm and shoulder were
literally crushed his back and breast
bones were broken, and his head and
face most horribly mutilated. The
wonder is that the man ever breathed
after the train passed over him, yet he
! lived about thirty minutes, perfectly
