Ar THE GARDEN GATE--A SUM
81 MEK PICTURE.
RYcHRIsTrANRE1p.

4 i
The light of summer sunset still fingers
down the west. ,..sy-.
The tender charm of the cleaning is full
of quiet rest;
The trembling stars are faint and few in
the misty sky above,
AS stand alone IN the garden gate
waiting for yon love:
Over archway and vine and strelIis, the
perfumed roses cling,
Some rich with the hue of damask, some
white as the buds of spring
This proud as the Orient beauty, lifting
her glowing cheek,
That, fair as a stainless yestal, gentle,
and pure and meek.
The balmy breeze Of the sunset steals by
like shy caress,
Sent out from the golden cloudland to
heearth's rich loyeliness;
It comes with the breath of-summer on
its pinions as they pass,
Rustling the dropping foliage and stirring
the fragrant grass.
In the starry. shade of the. jasmine ves-
per song is heard,
Tender and sweet and Joyous, from the
throat of nlocking-b bird;
And there in the shadowy woodlands,
here in the oak tree hid,
Ringing clear through the stiffness is the
voiceeof the katydid. d2e
The far off low of cattle, and the sound
of tinkling bell,
Come family borne through the twilight
from gentle upland swell;
And where the dark-green forest melts
blue into. distance fair,
Ascent OF sweet, fresh clover breathes
on the dewy air.
In the magic light of the cleaning, the
royal fields of June
Rest under the gracious promise OF u fair
young harvest moon;
It hangs like golden sickle where the
tints are soft and bright,
And the sunset glow will scarcely fade
through the long summer night.
And, far in the purple hoifows under the
crest of the hill
hear the fret of the water as it dashes
around tho mill;
Ihearit hurry onward, singing a sweet
oldtune-
Sweet as.the summer fragrance, old as
the skies of June.
A song of love and of parting, of faith
and of courage, too
OF faith that has never faltered, of love
that is ever true!
OF quiet and patient yearning, of hope
that has learned to wait;
And perhaps who knows of amaiden,
alone at a garden gate.

Beauregard on the War.
How the Old Confederate Leader
Would Conduct Operations Against
Russia.

|
Russia.
!Ithas Just come to light that in
1866 the newly inducted Charles Of
Hahenzollern, Domnitor Prince OF
Roumania, rendered to Gen. P. G. T.
Beauregard, then living in Paris, the
command of his armies, with the rank
Of field marshal, complete outfit
and 100000 year pay. Gen. Beau
regard was to be at liberty to select
his own staff and certain other off
GERS, and to designate their rank. 1t
was promised that the army should
be kept at minimum of lO0,OOOmen.
The General, however, declined the
offer and returned to New Orleans,
where he now is. He has written a
letter, under date Of May 10, in
which he refers to this offer, and ex,
presses his warm sympathy with the
Turks, because they are the weaker
party and are defending their homes
aud fresides. As to the pretext of
war--"tke protection Of the Chris
tians"-he says: 1t reminds me Of
the complaint Of the wolf drinking
at th3 same spring with the lamb. !
General Beauregar1 adds: Turkey

SENATOR Buffers CONDUCT AT
THE CAPTURE OF CIAMBERsBURG.-
The Philadelphia Times says: " Mr..
G. r. Messersmith, who was u bank
cashier at Chambersburg at the time
Gen. Jeb Stuart raided that place,
has written letter to Senator NJ. G.
Butler. of South Carolina, who was
one of the raiding party, whichletter
is full of the spirit of goodwill which
the Presidents policy has inspired.
Mr.. Messersmith says that long ago
he decided that as soon as all lrritat-
ing traces of the war were obliterated
he would write Gen. Butler and thank
him for his kind and geatle treatment
Of his family, at the trying time when
Chambersblrg was in the hands Of
the Confederates. Now says MIR.
Messersmith, 'that President Hayes
has released the last of: the States
from military rule, / deem it a fitting
occasion to do So. and to assure you
of my pleasant recollection and good
wishes, and to say to you now, what
I could not say wher last we met,
that Iwould be glad to see you at
my home, where warm and cordial
greeting will always await you. This
IS a good kind of reconciliation, and
Mr.. Messers-lith's letter will doubt
less give Senator Butler somewhat
different character than he has had
in the eyes of most Northern people.

SENATE.

The Vice President laid before the
Senate communication from the Secre-
tary of the Interior calling attention to
the law in regard TO compensation Tor
government advertising, and complaints
daily received rs TO the inadequacy OF
such compensation. He suggested that
the law be so amended as to allOW the
department 10 pay the same rates tor
advertising as the papers receive IRON
private individuals. Referred to the
committee on Civil Service and Retrech-
ment.
Mr.. Cameron, OF Wisconsin, called up
House Joint resolution relating to reser-
voirs to promote the navigation OF the
Mississippi river. Passed.
Mr.. Edmunds, by request, introduced
a bill to extend the operations oi the act
of February q, 1876, to provide for II
settlement with certain railway COM
psnies. Referred.
At the experation of the morning hour
consideration was resumed OF MT
Matthews resolution declaring the
right of the government to pay It's bonds
in silver, and Mr.. Hereford spoke in
favor thereof.
Mr.. Hereford argued that the govern
ment had the right to Pay the bonds IN
silver. and when the first act OF Congress
authorizing their issue was under con-
s,deration, it was distinctly stated in the
House of Representatives, by the great
Commouer, Thsddeus Stephens, that they
were redeemable in legal tenders. He
then read from q letter of the present
Secretary of the Treasury to MIR. Mann,
of Brooklyn, dated March ~, 1868,
10 the effect that be construed
the law TO authorize the payment OF the
bonds in legal tenders. The bo1dholders
should not object to taking the money
they paid for their bonds. If the case
was to DE tested by law, then he Sher-
man was right. If 1t was to be tested
by Jsy Cooke and advertisement, he WAS
wrong. MIR. Hereford argued that the
proposition to pay the bonds IN gold was
pretentious. 1t had been argued that the
remonetization of silver would drive
gold out of the country. Suppose
It did? We could pay all our debts
in silver, though 1t was not
true that its reconciliation would drive
gold out of the country. Why had
not that been the effect in France. The
country has been told by the syndicate
that If the resolution passed our bonds
could not be refunded and that we would
have to pay per cent interest instesd OF
per cent. This syndicate virtually
asked Congress to bind the country topay
the debt in gold and pay the syndicate
s7,ls5,OOO Tor the luxury of doing so. de
denied that the payment of bonds in sill
yer was any violation of the pledges to
foreign creditors.

In any event, the theory that MCGREw
was toully dealt with need not be aban-
doned. Another person turns up to add
to the mystery of the affair. On the day
of the drowning, Dec. 11th, man came
to FINDLEY McGREw's house named
ALEXANDER MCGhEw, who resides in
Monroe county, Ohio, and who is reputed
to be relative of the former.
During the afternoon he procured
whisky and treated" the now
dead man. 1t was this whisky
that filled the unfortunate MCGREw's
head with the determination to go
over to wheeling that night, ana Whlcn
his wife and Mr.. MILLIGAN were trying
to prevent. Was this whisky drugged?
Was the idea of coming to Wheeling put
into his head so ss to give the murderer
a Better opportunity to perpetrate his
dark crime2
Did ALEXANDER MCGREw leave
Bridgeport before the murder? No one
is certain that he was seen in the town
later than three or four o'clock in the
afternoon.
The Coroner's jury adjourned again
last night until this afternoon. The
mystery deepens.
