POETRY.
Hugh Latimer.
BY HENRY A. BEER

His lips amid the fame outsent
A music strong and sweet,
Like some unearthiy instrument
that's played upon by heat.
As spice wood tough, laid on the coal,
Sets all its perfume Tree,
The incense OF his hardy soul
Rose up exceedingly.
To open that great flower, too cold
Were sun and vernal rain;
But fire has forced it to unfold,
Nor will 1t shut again.

That is a curious letter the members of the
Remper County Grand Jury have sent to the
Governor of Mississippi. They say they were
compelled by the obligations of their oaths to find
indictments for several persons engaged in the
Chisolm massacre, but they hope the Governor
will pardon all of them, even before the tndict-
ments are tried because such pardon will accom-
plish more for the promotion of peace and good
order in county than a relentless prosecution
of these cases" This is a good specimen of the
Kemper idea of justice. The evidence against
the murderers was so strong that the jury was
forced against its will to find the indictments, and
yet the same jury turns about, before the
Indictments can be tried, and asks to have the
indicted persons psrdoned as sn incentive to
peace and good order!' If the Governor coin
cJes in this view, Kemper County will be more
than ever the best place in the country to move
away from.

In reply to the insinuations of the Stan
dard, we presented the other day for
midable array of figures. showing the ex-
celent condition of our State Finances,
resulting in cutting down the debt be-
tween two and three million dollars the
last ten years, and decreasing the appro-
priations from year to year, until. with
the help of the surplus accommodating in
the treasury, State Tax of three mills
on the dollar, in 1876, was found snffi-
cient to meet all the expenditures. All this
under republican rule. The Standard at
tempts reply this week, with lawyers
sophistrv and evasion. But it fails to
overthrow single figure in the array we
presented, or invalidate single state
ment. They cannot be overthrown, be-
cause they rest upon the hard-pan OF truth,
and are backed up by the official docu-
ments that the Standard editor may con-
suit at his leisure. The republican party
is Justly proud of its records on the ques-
ton of finances. While it has been whit
tling down the debt caused by demo-
cratic war, without neglecting any Of its
benevolent institutions, it has steadily less
ened the rate of taxation; and instead of
the State being in straitened circumstan
ces under the exercise of this judicious
economy, it has to-day in its treasury the
sum Of $500 with aprospect that even
the low rate OF taxation will furnish album
dant revenue for all the expenditures
This is result that must be gratifying to
every taxpayer, be he republican or dem
ocrat. And to the republican party be-
longs the credit.

Democratic Reform.

The attention of democratic paper
needs TO be called to the case of Door
keeper Polk. This individual has beer
guilty of gross corruption in office. He
has been under investigation. and the
committee has reported in favor OF his re-
moval from Office, but the democrats oil
the House stand in the way OF removing
him. The other day Mr. Carter Harrison,
chairman of the committee, undertook to
call up the subject in the House, but met
with all sorts of parliamentary obstacles
FINALLY by the aid of Mr.. Cox of Ohio
and other republicans, Mr.. Harrison got
control of the House, and proceeded to
speak in favor of the resolution for re-
moval reported by the investigating COM
mittee. Tho result was that the "demo-
cratic reformers" interrupted and bad
gered him in all possible ways. while he
was speaking, in order to break the force
of his remarks. He succeeded, however,
in showing that the<eport of the commit
tee was fully sustained by the evidence
that Col. Polk had disregarded the law in
the grossest manner, and had doctored
ND his rolls and books in order to cover
up his irregularities that he put the names
of men on the soldiers roll who were
never soldiers, and when called to ac-
count for il, in one instance substituted the
name of another man, allowing the orig
inal appointee to remain; perform the SER
vice and draw the pay on a power of at
torney given by the nominal holder of the
place.
But alas for Mr.. Harrison, he found that
although he did his duty bravely his party
was against him, didn't thank him for his
effort, and would retain Polk as Doorkeep-
er, notwithstanding his dishonesty, if it
could conveniently be done. The CORES
pondent of the Boston Journal in speak
ing of the scene in the House and Polk
says:
1.-THE scene during the afternoon was
often grotesque. The House was little
better than a menagerie, and the yells OF
maddened democrats, who were about to
see their own practices exposed, were
quite understandable. The House was a
perfect pandemonium, and is likely to be
until this question is settled. Doorkeeper
Polk has many friends. and is personally
by no means responsible for all of the evil
work OF his Office. His faults are mainly
due to the pressure OF Congressman and
to the insatiate crowd of hungry demo-
Gratis for office. but the fact stands that he
has grossly violated the law. and has been
guilty. doubtless, without intent, of lax
administration"
We hope the Maine Standard, Argus,
and Bangor Commercial will come to Har.
rison's rescue. Their neglect thus far to
say anything in denunciation of Polk indi-
Gates that Reform" is played out in the
democratic party.

A Word About Parties.

In brief review of parties the Tribune
says it is very true that the republican
party cannot hope to live upon the mere
plumbers of its opponents. But a broad
view of the nature, objects and tendencies
of both parties will probably control a
majority OF voters. If it appears that, in
the very nature of the democratic party.
there is ineradicable hostility to the equality
OF citizens. that will have weight. If il
appears that the democratic party, its ele-
ments remaining what they are, can never
help being hostile to the public creditor
and dangerous 10 the public credit, thai
will have weight. II it appears that it is
essentially Southern party, controlled
by sectional interest, and ready to sacri-
flee the public welfare at the behest OF
Southern greed or Southern vindictive-
ness, that will have weight. If it appears
that its promises of reform are empty ;
that 1t abolishes no sinecures which demo-
Gratis may hope soon to fill that il clamors
for non-partizanship in its opponents, but
manifests in its own behavior the mos,
shameless and INSCRIPTIONS partisanship ;
that it uses the whole public service rs a
machine for manufacturing partisan
victory. lends itself to the worst jobs for
the sake Of votes, and fills Offices with the
worst men in order to reward them for
party work, that will have its effect. If.
In short, it Is found that the democratic
party, as now constituted, is nothing but
a conspiracy of Southern ambition and
Northern ignorance and knavery, to seize
the government and use it for ends partly
reactionary and partly selfish, this wi as.
suredly have weight.
The republican party represents, after
all. forces which will never cease to be
powerful in this country until those hav,
passed away who helped to beat down :
rebellion. and those who once wore tn,
chains OF slavery, and those who trusted
the government in its hour of trial. Sc
long as the Legitimate results of the wal
are threatened, in any State, the republic
can party will be strong. So long as tn,
equal citizenship OF the emancipated rae,
Is anywhere denied or menaced, the re
publican party will be strong. So long a
the public debt exists, and millions of vot
ers have direct personal interest in main
tanning the nations credit, the republican
party will be strong. 1t will be stronge
when 1t has been seen that the Democrat,
party. not by accident but from an inexor
able necessity OF its existence, is party o
reaction with respect TO the war and th.
rights OF citizenship, Of sectonalism will
respect to national expenditures, and o
Reputation with respect TO the public debt
