The U. s. Senate, Which Party Has it

The u. S. Senate has had before it
for some days the question whether
Butler or Corbin should have the
South Carolina seat. Butler is the
odious character whose name was so
conspicuously connected with the
catching and shooting down negroes
in the summer of 1876, because they
belonged to a military company. 1t
is disgraceful to the American people
to seat such q brute as he is even if
elected. But he was not legally elect
ed. His presence is a fruit of the
Hayes policy. South Carolina was
given over to Hampton, and with him
the control of the State was put in the
hands of the minority. The other
Senator from that State, named Pat
terson, is Republican. His term is
nearly expired. He is now found yo-
ting with the Democrats to seat But
Ter. 1t is charged that corrupt means
were employed to secure his vote.
Another Republican Senator from
Florida, named Conovor, votes the
same way. If they were true to their
party and true to their oaths Butler
would not be admitted, but Corbin
would and Kellogg would. If these
gentlemen were seated the Senate
would remain Republican for the
next two years. If Butler and spof-
ford are admitted and if Patterson
Conoyer and Davis continue TO vote
with Democrats, the Democrats will
Immediately take control. If the Re-
publican party is to have the power
in the national Legislature it will be
by fighting its battles all over again.

IT would appear that there is a
great sympathy between the mind OF
man and falsehood; when we have
truth to tell. it takes if conveyed

shows that we may not only divert

but truth is even compelled to borrow
the habit of faIsehood to secure itself
an agreeable reception"

THE CARELESS WORD.

Twas bat word. careless word.
As thistle down 1t seemed as light;
II paused q moment in the air,
Then onward winged its fiighs.
Another lip caught up the word.
And br eathed ii with hearty sneer;
1t gathered weight as on it sped,
That careless word Ia its career.
Then rumor caught the flying word.
Aud busy gossip gave it weight,
Until that little word became
A vehicle of hate.
And then the word was winged with fire,
Its mission was thingof pain ;
For soon il fell like lava drops
Upon wildly tortured brain
And then another page Of lie
With burning, scalding tears were blurred
A load of care was heavier made,
Its added weight, that careless word.
That careless word, Oh, how 1t scorchsd
fainting, bleeding, quivering heart
twas liks hungry fire, that seorched
Through every tender, vital part
How wildly throbbed that aching heart
Deep agony Its fountains stirred;
1t Gained, but bitter ashes mark
The pathway of that careless word.
