Though watch of old where the SIMS mellow gold

I've buried my hopes in the dust of the past,

As brief as now seemeth day,
In beautiful bowers, where the blissladen hours
Stole swiftly and silent away.
Oh! how can silence the voice Of the past.
Or ausht of its pleasures resigni
Dear love that never be mine any more,
Dear love that never be mine.

THE "REFORMER."-The Democracy have got
a Reform bonanza in Tilden. He had been ac-
cused of stealing railroad shares, but has ex-
planned that in certain year he received S2O, 900
as a railroad attorney. That same year, he made
a sworn statement of his income to the revenue
assessor, and set the amount at $1,000, upon
which sum he paid tax. To escape the stigma
Of thief, he confesses to being perjurer The
excuse of his friends is, that others did the same
thing! 1t is nice excuse for a great Reformer.
The dilemma in which he is placed, is telling
against him fearfnlly

Stanley, who assisted Lappin to escape. 1t was
written at sea-they were on the voyage to
South America. The route they took from To-
peka, was north to Beatrice, Nebraska, thence to

EV Those boiling Atchison Republicans are
just now very anxious that the Democrats should
not make nomination for Congress, but should
unite with them. There is where their anxiety
to stick TO the ticket ends 1t is a dreadful bad
thing to unite with the Drmocrats to elect a
competent man for Judge, but it is all right and
lovely to go in cahoot with Democrats to defeat
the Republican nominee for Congress-

y Gen. Mcclellan has written a letter in IA
vOr of rilden. He is the man who was nomina-
ted by the Democratic Convention that declared
the war failure, because he had done all lie
could to make it so. This is about the time of
year that he could not pursue the defeated reb-
els at Antietam, because his troops had no over
coats. If his efforts for Tilden are no more en-
ergetic he will not be of much service to him.

Y The Atchison Champion talks about Fed
eral office-holders running the Congressional
Convention, and the honest, unselfish Republi-
cans being opposed to Phillips. 1t is nice, COM
ing from the editor of the Champion, who for
twelve years was Federal Office holder, and
made full hand at running Conventions; who
held a commission in the army and lucrative
post-Office at the same time aud who refused
toallow Senator Ingalls, name to appear in the
columns of his paper, until the arrangement
was made that large portion of the emoluments
of the post-office should remain in the family.
Federal office holders!

MIssoURI.-In calculating the general result,
Missouri is always conceded to the Democrats.
But the Republicans of that State are not will
ling to be thus counted whipped. They say they
believe they can carry the State, and they are
going to try to do it. They feel confident of
electing five ont of the thirteen Congressman,
and think they have at least chance for two
more. They have strong State ticket, while
the Democracy are unfortunate in having the
steamboat hero at the head of their ticket. At
the last election, when the Republicans were di-
vided and apathetic, and the Liberals were all
against them, the Democratic majority in the
State was less than 10000. Now the Republi-
cans are united and enthusiastic, and of the Lib
eral vote of 10000, a majority are with the Re-
publeans. 1t will therefore be seen that Mis-
souri, is not so hopeless she is generally
garded.

The Phillips outfit at Abilene played Atchison
ward tactics ON the Guthrie eountrymen, and
came out ahead. Hence Guthrie's men look with

falr play is richness. Take your medicine, boys,
without squealing.-Patriot.

The delegates who remained numbered 6s, exact
ly two-thirds Of full Convention Only "a
withdrew, aud the balance declined to take part
in either Convention.
The Phillips men, having offered several plans
of compromise, without avail, then proceeded to
business. They first appointed committee to
meet similar committee Of the other faction. to
endeavor to harmonic; but the other committee
would not consider any compromise short Of
withdrawing all candidates then before the Con-
vention, and putting mp a new man. 1t was the
same determination to beat Col. Phillips. They
had worked for that for months, and had at
tempted TO break up the Convention by mob
for that pu rose, and nothing short of this end
would satisfy them. Whether the expectant new
man was there with his finger in the row, depo-
nent saith not. The Convention rejected the
proposition, and unanimously nominated Col
Phillips for Congress. The boiling squad nomi-
mated W. w. Guthrie. Phillips accepted, but
Guthrie holds his nomination under advisement.
1t is said that if the Democrats nominate candi-
date this week, he will decline; but if they make
no nomination, he will run the race. Those
Atchison meu are mighty powerful, but they
will hardly succeed in prevailing upon the Dem
ocrats to give up the ield for the benefit of their
defeated candidate. But whether the Democrats
make nomination or not, Col Phillips will be
triumphantly elected.
An effort is made to continue the fraud aud de-
ception, after the Convention has adjourned.
The Atchison Champion publishes what purports
to he the proceedings of the Convention that
nominated Guthrie, in which delegates are
ported as being present who were not there. The
First District of Donipban County is reported as
being represented by J. p. johnson and John H.
UT. The First District was represented by j.
P. johnson and A. s. Campbell, who both re-
mained in the Phillips Convention. Utt was an
alternate, but as both delegates were performing
their duties, the altern ate had more authority
than an outsider. We understand that UT owns
up that he voted for himself, and also as altern-
ate for johnson, and considers it a good joke |!
G. W. Lowman, of Jefferson, and d. NJ. Younk-
man and John Q. Myers, Of jackson, are reported
as delegates in in the Guthrie Convention. They
remained in the Phillips Convention.
But to clinch the matter, and put an effeetual
quietus upon all future claims and assertions,
the delegates remaining in the regular Conyen-
tion signed their names to the roll, showing how
they voted. The roll is now before us, contain
ing 81 names, just one less than two-thrds of all
the delegates to which the District was entitled.
Here is the list signed by the hands of the sew
eral delegates, and the statement to which they
subscribe:

Convention held Abilene this 3lst day Of August, A
