account of the attack which Mr..

that Mr Edmunds and Mr.. FreiIng-

had affirmed that there was no such

to Gen. Gartieid'S speech, in which
he was understood to declare that
there was such power in certain cases.
He referred also to Mr.. Murton's
declaration in the Senate that it was
the bounden duty of the Tribunal to
go behind the returns. lie then
quoted from Mr.. Hoar's speech in

the assertion that the bill was not Il

BY WILLIAM PITT PALMER,

From the quickencd womb Of the primo
| gloom
The sun rolled bleak and bare,
| fill wove him a vest for his Ethiop breast
OF the threads Of my golden hair;
And when the broad tent of the tirmament
Arose on its airy bars
penciled the hue of the matehess blue
And spangled it around the tars.
| painted the flowers of Eden's bowers,
| And their leaves of living green,
| Nnd mine were the oS eS in the sinless eyes
o. Eden's virgin queen
And when the ficnd's art on the trusiul
heart
| Had fastened its mortal spell,
| In the silvery sphere OF tie hrst-born teal
To the trembling earth fell
When the waves that burst DER a VIZ {,
aecufsed ~
Their work cf wrallhsii ped
And the ark's lone few, the tried did true.
Came for h amongst the dead,
With the wondrous eleaihs of my bridal
beams
l bade their terrors cease,
AS wrote on the roll of the storms dark
scroll
Gods covenant of Peace.
Like pal at rest on schseless breast,
NIGHT funeral shadow slept
When shepherd swains on Bethlehem IS
plains,
Their owly virgils kept
Then | flashed On their sight the heralds
bri-ht ...
As they chanted the morn Of a Saviour born
JOY, joy to the outca t man! -
Equal favor show to the lofty and low,
On the jus. and unjust / DESCENT:
Fen the blind, whose vain spheres roll in
darkness and tears.
Feel my smile. the hest smile dr a friend
Nay, the flower OF the waste BY my love is
embraced
As the rose in the garden of kings,
AT the crysalis bier of the worm appear,
And 10! he gay butterfly wings.
The desolate morn, like mourncr forlorn,
Conccals all the pride Of his charms,
Till bid the bright hours chase the night
from her bowers
And lead her young day to her arms!
And when the gay rover seeks I've for his
lover
And sinks TO her balmy repose,
I wrap the soft rest by the zephyr famed
West
In curtains OF amber and rose
From mysentinel sleep by the night-dreadcd
deep
gaze with unsumbering eyes,
When the cynosure star Oft mariner
Is blotte1 from out the sky!
And guided by me through the mcrciless sea,
Though spread by the hurricanes wings
His composites, dark, lone weltering bark
To the haven home safely he brings.
I wallen the flowers in the dew spangled
bowers
The birds in their chambers of green,
And the mountain AMI plain glow with
beauty again.
AS they baSk in their matinaI sheen.

Hawk-EyetemS

Mr.. Tilden is now engaged in wri-
ting Il letter declining the st. Louis
nomination.
1t appears that the democrats are
not selecting Mr.. Tilden's cabinet so
much as they were six weeks ago.
They must have it completed.
Pools are selling even that the war
in Europe will be over before the
American democrats become resigned
to arbitration and its consequences.
Ii appears to us that something has
occurred to irritate our democratic
friends. They betray a growing
irascibility for which we cannot ac-
count.
1t is now believed that somebody
lai' a piece of blue glass over the
ground hogs hole. and thus spoiled
his prophecy and let the bottom out
of his weather prognostications.
George Washington died yesterday
hui there are SO many men like Mr..
Tilden, and Littletie,d, and Hewitt,
and Senator Kelly, and Madd,x in

missed.

equip branch road to the Black
Hills. Three routes are to be surveyed
this spring, and the work of constru-
ction will be begun as soon as the
line iSlocated. The branch will prob.
ably start on Nebraska soil. 1t is now
barely eighteen months since gold
was discovered in the Black Hills by
John b. Pearson and six companions.
The pioneers had travelled l40 mills,
and were resting on the bank of lit
tie stream. Being thirsty, the leader
Of the party threw himself on his
hands and knees and bent over the
bank to lap up the water. A frag-
ment of white flint quartz glistened
in the clear water and caught his
eye. 1t waJethe first gold found in
the Black Hills. Boys, YOU can

comes the locomotive.
