Il was in December last year that the
Colonial Council, in behalf Of this commu-
nity, applied to His ExceIIercy soliciting
him TO proceed to Copenhagen, and there
use his influence In favour of the interests
of this island, His ExceIIency entertained
the wish he left in January last, and
returned to these islands last month.
His present visit is his first to st. Croix
since his return, he having delayed coming
over until the plan be had in hands for
this island could be fairly said to be
definitely secured.
It will be remembered that, at the time,
the auspices generally wore a very I'M
favourable and threatening aspect for the
nearest future Of the island. The means
hitherto so literally distributed to keep
IN the main-we might almost say only
resource of the island were all expended,
and private assistance was nowhere to be
obtained The past crops had been fail
ures. giving no returns, All rhat had been
laid aside from previous years vas gone.
Still there was the large rural ,abourIng
population to be fed, a population which,
from the nature of the position it is placed
in bv the law of the land, had a claim, and
an Hnmistakable and unavoidable claim,
to receive their wages in money and
food as stipulated in their contracts. And
by degrees, as the prospects of carry
ing out the only plan likely to
secure a change Of any perma-
nent benefit to the COMMUNICATIVE of
the establishment of Central Factories
grew less, owing to lukewarmness on the
part of those whose s~hortsightedness per-
haps more than anything else did not allow
them to appreciate the plan, the hitherto
ready willingness on the part OF the
Mothercountry, to come to our aid in the
hour of need, also waued. At the time in

THURMAN ON PLNCHBACK.

The greatest speech of the season on
the Pinchback case was made by Senator
Thurman on Monday of last week. A
correspondent writes:
The strongest part of the speech was its
consideration of the Legality of the Loui-
siana Legislature, which, as piece of
cumulative and comparative argument
deduced from historical facts, have rarely
been eqlaled. The chief weapon used
was the report of the Senate's own Loui-
siana Investigating Committee, but in the
hands of Mr.. Thurman it proved keener
than a razor and more destructive than
two-edged sword. His review ofthe lille
gal birth of the pseudo Legislature which
elected Pinchback was concise, and yet
nothing essential was omitted. From the
report he read to them the facts that
according to the judgment of their own
committee, the wholly unauthorized and
illegal Lynch Returning Board, who
never had the official vote before them,
made an illegal canvass and returned
Legislature that the infam-
GUS Durell wholly without authority Of
law issued an entirely illegal order, under
which the State House was seized and
held by Federal troops and then com
manded that none but members return
ed by the Lynch" Board should take in
the Legislature, and that it was this Leg
islature which elected Pinchback. Then
he clinched the nail on the head by
reading from minority report made by
Morton himself, wherein that gentleman
declared that Durell acted wholly with
out authority. Unless this Senate is
prepared to say that sham Legislature,
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-02-24

established by an illegal order OF a Judge
and the use Of the military, is a legal
Government; unless this Senate is pre-
pared to ratify this usurpation and recog,
nize one of its colspirators," thundered
Thurman, while the Republicans hitched
uneasily in their seats and Morton look
ed gloomily. Bu this was only the be-
ginning of the agony. From the report
the Speaker read again their recorded
Judgment that CLEARLY either McEnry
Government must be recognized ora new
election ordered" and then read sigma
lures: "Matt Carpenter, Logan Alcornl,
Anthony Hill, and even Morton himself
differing only as to local conclusion,
and not denying the facts" "If these
gentlemen will stand by their solemnly
recorded declaration that the Legislature
which elected Ray and Pinchback was
Illegal" came as the moral. Then Matt
Carpenters bill declaring that no legal
government then existed in Louisiana
was trotted ov& for inspection with the
attached signatures of the eighteen who
voted for it, Sepventeen of them were
Republicans, and eight of that seventeen
were on the floor to-day, "If the gem
tleman on my right from New Hampshire
(MR Cragin) if the gentleman from
Michigan Mr.. Ferry, if the gentleman
from New Jersey (Mr Frelinghusen), if
the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Hamlin);
ifthe gentleman from Illinois Mr.. Lo-
gam, if the gentleman from Wisconsin
(Mr. Howell if the gentleman from
Rhode Isla nd, (Mr. Anthony, if the
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. John Sher-
man will vote to day as they voted on
Matt Carpenters bill this question will
be settled and settled correctly" This
was the climax, and rustic of excite
ment swept through the chamber as the
speaker uttered it, and more than one of
the Senators named looked dubious as
Thurman sat down Christiancy mod
esty yet manly avowed that he thought
the Seator from Ohio had fairly stated
the case, and he should vote according
to his convictions and against Pinchback
evidently added to the impression al
ready created.

FAREWELL BUT WHENEVER YOU VEL
COME THE HOUR,


Farewell but whenever you welcome the hour'
That awakens the night song of mirth In your
bower,
Then think of a friend who once welcomed II TOO,
And forgot his own grleis to be happy with you
His grlefs may return, not hope may remain
OF the few that once frightened his pathway
ofpain,
But he neer will forget the bright visions that
threw
Their entertainments around him while lingering
with you.
And still, on that evening when pleasure fills up
To the highest top sparkle each heart and each
cup,
Where er my path lies, be 1t gloomy and bright
NV soul, happy friends shall be with you that
night,
Shall join in your revels, your sports and your
wiles
And return to me, beaming all DER with your
smiles
Too blest if 1t tell me that mid the gay cheer
Some kind voice had murmered Il wish he were
here"
Let fate do her worst, there are relics OF JOY
Bright dreams of the past which she cannot de-
stroy
Which comes in the nighttime of sorrow and
care,
And brings back the features that JOY used towear'
Long. long, be my heart with such memories
filed;
Like the vase in which roses have once been dis
TILED,
You may break you may shatter the vase If you
will
But the sent Of the roses will hang round it still.

ROMANTIC HISTORY oF A WAT

One of the uptown churches in this
city was filled by a fashionable congre-
cation about a week ago on the occasion
of the marriage of a well known sorioty
girl to the man of her choice-the stion
of popular Philadelphia sugar mer-
chant. Probably not a dozen persons
present knew the most interesting actin
the history of the bride. She was poor
neglected waif twenty years ago, and
was found one wintry morning upon a
doorstep in st. Marks Place-then
fashionable quarter of the city. No clue
to her parentage was ever found, but the
family (chosen probably with that OBJ
iect), having no child of their own, took
in the waif, and treated he little girl
with as much care as if she had been
their own. A few years after ali applica-
ton was made to Judge Charles P. DAILY,
of this city, for decree awarding legal
custody of the child to its protectors, and
henceforth she took their name. She
was educated thoroughly, and became
pet of the family as effectually as ifshe
had been born into it. In time she was
introduced into society as Miss G.,
and net her present husband at family
reunion in Philadelphia. Now she is
honored and petted by society, and
promises to become a reigning favorite.
Who knows but somewhere the real
mother of this interesting woman may
not be watching the career of her child
and that, some time, may make herself
known Truly, fact is often stranger
than fction.-N Y. Cor. Chicago Tribune.

JUDGE BLACK WAS THE AUTHOR OF IT.
When the military court was gathered
in Chicago for the purpose of finding a
little whitewash for Babcock--a job that
was spoiled by the promptness of the st.
Louis grand jury-Gen. Hancock pre-
sented well written and forcible argu-
ment in favor of adjourninA the inquiry
until the civil authorities had disposed
of the case. The paper attracted no lit
tie attention, and the General was highly
commended by many for the ability he
displayed in dealing with an important
point of constitutional law. And now it
appears that Hancock deserves no more
fthe credit of that paper then the mere
reading oft, and that its real author was
Jere Black, of Pennsylvania.-Chicdg

Fast Stage Driving

A Santa Barbara correspondent Of the
Louisville Courier Journal has seen
the Easiest stage-driver in California -
This is the breezy story; 1.-THE tallest
time / ever made was when o
wager of 3d. 900 was pending
between the old California Stage Com
pany and the Pioneer Stage Company.
l drove for the California. The track
was from Virginia City toSan Francis
co. Old Lent telegraphed me to drive
him fifty-fve miles on the way. Istrap-
ped myself on the box, and Lent and
two other fellows jumped into the stage
and l laid my whip on. There were
six horses, as fine flesh as you ever seen.
Them horses was worth S10,0 Laid
the whip on every jump. l never took
off the whip during the whole fifty
miles. We were going down grade,
down the Sierras. The road was pretty
rocky, and sometimes / didn't skip the
chasms, 1000 feet deep, by more than
two inches. 1t makes my flesh crawl
now to think of it, but then l was just
nerved up to do anything, and we come
down that grade a-fiuking. Taylor was
to drive the next fifty miles, and he
starts down the road and me after him,
and we ran each other five miles before
gers. l was black and blue all over,
but l made fifty miles in four hours;
the times on record, OF / wouldn't tell
it. That's the fastest time ever made
with a stage coach. The California
beat by one hour and twenty minutes
the whole distance" NrA
