J. w. Polk, door-keeper of the Lower
House of Congress, has been arraigned
for having too many men in his employ.
There is no charge that the government
is defrauded, simply that he takes part
Of the pay belonging to the regularly

it to others not regularly appointed.
The Republicans are making big fuss
over it, but the truth is the Democrats
in the last Congress reduced the number

The Trip to Cuba,

We leaau that on the steamer
which leaves Savannah on the 18th with
the delegation in the interest of trade;
there are fifty through passengers from
New York and other Eastern cities.
These fifty persons are seeker after
health, not trade. Many Of them are in
the last stages of Consumption while
others are just experiencing their first
trouble resulting from a neglected cold
and cough. A trip to Cuba is expensive
and not within the reach of all, but for
fifty cents any one can procure bottle
of Symphyx, which if taken when q
cold first commences will prevent the
necessity of this expensive Journey.

to find man who would put his name
down on her bail bond. Notwithstand-

the bonds of the United States, yet she
langHishes in the city prison.

HELMS.
by EVA WILLIAMS.
o merry bells
Cease now your joyous chime,
HArbingers Of coming time;
Death in our midst, to day,
Is stealing soul awayl
Glad bells ring not, pray,
Lest hearts should break.
One home is dark i;
One voice is silent now;
Ieily cold one brow;
One smile viii never more
Bless, As in days of yore,
Loved ones SO dear.
Another is gone
Gone from this weary life,
Gone from it's pain and strife
Never again to know
sorrowful pang of woeI
Is she not blest ?
Blest evermore
Not in the silent tomb
Not in the wintry gloom;
Not where her form is laid
Not where the roses fade
win she repose.
o if the grave
Had power to hold our dead
To prison the spirit fed;
Then should we never know
Surcease of grief or woe
For loved ones gone!
Sweet is the thought
That cen while we lay to rest,
Down in the green earth's breast,
Forms of our loved and best,
Gladly the soul shall soar,
Finding foreve more
Rest with the Lord

was made by Hacker.
1t may be proper to say that this case,
or the crime leading to it, is mixed up
with other matters. Besides the origin
al offence, the shooting of Floyd Col
Tins, it is well known in Hancock coun-
ty that Rhea and others were after

ready for any conflict that might arise.

conclusion of the arguments, that he
had not yet made up his mind in the
matter, and should not till he had ex-
amined carefully all the authorities
