For the night to pass away,

Darkest just at dawn of day.
But the cross it seems so heavy,
And Gods ways so dark to me.
That Pve grown weary waiting
The dawning bright to see.
Oh, must it grow much darker
Ere the coming Of the light?
Will the bright, bright star OF morning
Ever show its promised light?
Some stars the darkness showed US,
But their light soon passed away,
And the darkness groweth deeper
Surely it must soon be day. =.
A quiet stealeth DER me,
For feel that morn is nigh;
Though all earth's paths are dreary,
There is light for us on high.

To mourning hearts is given;
And we shall know no sorrow,
For there's no night in heaven.

FLORIDA MOONLIGHT.

IAOh1UA MDONLIGHI.
Over the boughs Of the cypress,
Over the tops Of the pine,
Touching the sward beneath them
With radiance divine;
Over the limbs of the swamp-oak,
And on to the ground below;
Through the dark, dim aisles of the forest,
It shines with a wondrous glow.
It shines on creek and streamlet,
It shines on swamp and bay,
And covers the faults that the sun doth show
With light that is fairer than day.
The pine is rough and rugged.
But the moonlight tones it down;
The cypress is sad and mourntul,
BUTT haloes it with a crown.
Come again, beautiful moonlight
Come every night, to prove
A Heavenly Fathers message,-
The embodiment of LoveI

Tweed Declines TO be investigated

New YORK, April 22.-The New York
Senate committee appointed to investigate
the Tweed confession; called on him at the
Ludlow-street Jail, Saturday. Tweed look
ed well. In reply to the Question whether
he CFweed) knew any thing about the send
ing of the article to the World of the 18th,
duplicating Senator Woodin and others, his
counsel, Mr.. Townsend, read formal state
ment to the effect that he advises his client
not to give any testimony on the subject at
this time. He sets forth that Tweed's state
ment was submitted to the attorney general
On the assurance that its contents would re-
main undivulged should he decline to accede
to Tweed's release, and he further believes
that ali examination of Mr.. Tweed might
criminate him Tweed and also seriously
affect public interests by giving offenders an
opportunity to escape. Senator WooGln in
his speech had called attention to Tweed's
testimony i'm 1875 10 the effect that the
latter had never bribed anybody. This fact
further impresses the counsel with the pro-
priety of his advice for Tweed not to testify
at this time. Tweed then handed the COM
mittee paper declining to testify on the
ground of public policy, and that he might
criminate himself.
Hc disavowed all responsibility for the arti-
Gle in the World, the most of which, he said, was
fictitious, though it contained a few facts.
He persistently declined to answer repeated
questions designed to elicit information as
to specific charges made in the World article.
He manifested an anxious desire to get out
OF prison, and said he had been protecting
Others at his own expense long enough. He
was III good humor and talked with a live
ly air. and occasionally sharp and spicy.
The committee subsequently examined
Hugh j. Hastings, editor of the Commercial
Advertiser, who denied in detail the state
ment in the World so far as it concerned him.
The check given him by Tweed in 1870 for
$4,000 was, he said, for purely business
transactions in stock, and had no connec-
ton with legislative matters.

The Candidates.

The friends Of the various prominent can
didates for Governor are actively discussing
their respective claims, and, from indica-
tions, the canvass is to be lively, if not acri-
monious. Gen. Malone seems to be the OBJ
-ject of the most direct assaults. Some of
those who oppose him have been very plain
lin their criticism of his candidacy, which
iforeshadows a conflict in the Convention
that will be anything but tame and uninter-
esting. The friends of Holiday, in the VAL
ley, are very sanguine of his nomination,
but we think they greatly underrate the
strength of Malone, even in this section.
There have been no open public declarations
in his favor, but there is an undercurrent in
certain localities that may have its effect be-
fore the canvass is over. Daniel and Tal.a-
ferro have no following in this region that
we have heard Of. Massey is spoken Of as
probable independent candidate, running
upon his very creditable legislative record in
exposing the management in the basement
offices of the School fund, and the transac-
tions of Bradley johnson in the matter of
the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. Then Mas
sey's views of the State debt question have
much sympathy throughout the State. If
he could republish his pamphlet on that sub
.5ect, and get it into the hands of the people,
SO that the facts and figures he adduces
could be read and thought over, he would
sdevelep a strength not now thought Of.
There is going to be very lively CAM
spaign in advance of the Convention, which
eis called to meet i'll August; and the action
of that body will have to be remarkably pru-
dent, if the after proceedings are not still
more spicy and entertaining.

Testing the Policy.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, of the 23d has the follow
ing:
1t is perfectly understood here that thu
most important test of the President 8 South.
ern policy will be the degree of quiet which
is maintained in South Carolina and Louisia-
Ma. 1t is stated here among the Democrats
that both Nichols and Hampton will have
the earnest assistance of all the members of
Congress from their States, and the prominent
men in their State governments, in efforts
to insure peace and TO execute all the prom
ises made to the President in regard to the
fair treatment OF the colored citizens. 1t is
further stated that prominent Democrats in
each State will be sent through the interior
portions for the purpose of explaining to the
white people the exact situation, and the
pledges upon which the relief they have long
sought has been obtained.
The Democrats here who have Endorsed the
new policy seem to see clearly that it is in
every sense to the interest of the South that
the President shall be fully indicated, and
that the South would suffer greatly if it
should fail. On this account some very strong
influences will be set at work Immediately
to control all former disturbing white Gle
ments in the two States and impress them
with the grave Importance to themselves OF
the maintenance of peace and observance OF
all the conditional provisions and laws con-
corning the rights OF citizenship.

BELLE BoyD.-A young woman styling
herself ''Belle Boyd, the Rebel Spy" for
several years has been travelling through the
South, passing herself off as Belle Boyd, of
Valley war fame. The real Belle Boyd is
married, and is now happily living with her
husband and children in Baltimore. The
last Bazt1morean contains q card from her
exposing the impostor, which feelingly
closes: ''With me the past is in the eternal
past, and have no wish to drag it from the
grave in which it lies buried; but duty to
myself, family and friends compels me to
remove from the public mind the impression
that the vile imposter to whom l have re-
ferred, is or has any claims to the name of

War Inevitable.

Cable dispatches received by the State
Department at Washington up to the 22d
inst. indicate that there is no longer any
possibility OF averting war between Russia
and Turkey. Mail advices from various con-
sulates indicate that Russia is p repairing to
make a real or pretended flank movement on
Constantinople around the eastern shore OF
the Black Sea and through Asia Minor.
Troops are already moving in small bodies
towards several Russian towns in that direc-
tien and it is surmised that they VIII even
tually be concentrated at some point near
the northeastern boundary of Turkey in
Asia, and there be reinforced by aid from
Persia, in the event of the latter power be-
coming Russia's open ally. 1t is also be-
leved in Washing ton diplomatic circles that
crcuitous movement on Constantinople
will be made through Seryia and Montene-
gro. On this route the Russian forces would
encounter less formidable obstacles, either Of
a natural or an artificial character, and could
also count upon supplies and other assistance
from largely sympathetic population.
The war manifesto of the Gar was issued
on the 25th, and closes, "ln now invoking
the blessing Of Cod upon our valiant armies,
We give them the order to cross the Turkish
frontier.'' The greatest enthusiasm per-
vaded among the Russian troops.
