Serenade.

Will, tender trembling tonch
Kiss her fair brow Tonight;
And stars that heaf!i with such
A loving, living light,
Look in her eyes tonight
And say this much
:. He dreams of thee tonight!
o, whispering trees above.
With softly-shining leaves,
Breathe low, oh, sweet, oh. love!
He dreams of thee and weaves
All thoughts in one-thy love:
o, waves that plash below.
Catching the stars sweet smile,
Laugh out. I'VE know, we know!
He's loved thee all the while;
He loved thee long agoi
o, bird. that fiieth past
With tireless. noiseless wing
F.y to my loved one fast
And TREMENDOUSLY sing
From one whose heart thou Hast,
Who's loved thee first and last.

Senator Ben Hill. Oct ,. 1879

LSenator Ben Hill, Oct. ,, 1873.
Take it all in all its
origion, its extent, It's wicked adroit~
ness, its deliberation, the variety of
of characters engased, Its number
less prejudices andrecklcss forgerics,
its marvellous success and its abso-
lutte control of a great government of
unequaled patronage for its rewards
-and it must be confessed that the
Presidential fraud OF 1876 is with
ont q parallel in any history. It
dwarfs all other frauds, Gobspi:acies
and tobberies into comparative in
significance: If allowed to 90, un
punished it will elevate perjury in
to a virtue, forgery into an art, and
will reduce usnrpstion to Il science!
The Administrution which | for one
had fondiy Hoped would inaugnrate
a new era of elevation, purity and
efficiency in our civil sefviUe, has
presistently identified its lite, it:

frauds Of It's origin, and has thhs

which side is Revolutionary ,

Those who from the beginning, all the way
through, and to the end opposed the Elcc-
toral Commission, cannot be called revolu-
tionary. They were not for overturning
anything; they were not for changing any
thing; they were for conducting the count
of electoral votes as every previous count
had been conducted; for deciding what
votes should be counted as such questions
had heretofore been decided for preserving
the Government as IL had existed from It's
foundation. This was the reverse Of revo-
lutlonary. II was conservative.
On the other hand, those who proposed
the Electoral Commission proposed some-
thing entirely ncw Such thing had never
existed, never even been suggested before.
No ono pretends or has ever pretended that
any express warrant for this Commission
IL to bc found In the Constitution. The
Commission was created. The whole method
Of conducting the count Of electoral votes
was novel There was no precedent for It,
We have always regarded il as unconsttu-
tional, uniustiidblc. inoxcusabc We do
not say even that was revolutionary; for
revolution means n material or entire
change In the constit ution of government:
but We do say that though not, perhaps, en-
tircly fulfilling the definition Of rcvolu-
tionary. IT came much nearer being
revolutionary than anything we have
ever advocated, and that the term rcvolu-
tionary. which * so much employed lately
In a dcclamatory and unthlnking way, If it
applies to either side. applies to that Of our
opponents and not to ours. Indeed, our
great effort has been in opposition to any
Thing in the least degree revolutionary, or
approaching the character II revolutionary.
We have insisted that the Constitution was
good enough; that the old long established
way OF determining an election was good
enough, and better than any new method,
and we have insisted on its preservation
without change. Unless things that stand
still are revolutionary, 1t IL an entire mis-
homer for our opponents to apply the term
revolutionary to the policy which we adyo-
catc-whether it fifty describes their own
is another question

It Is thus demonstrated that GARFIELD
sworc at the outset in the most sweeping
FORM that he had no interest had received
no dividends or profits from the Credit
Mobilicr; and in the end he is found claim
ing, long after the investigation had begun.
a larger share than he had been allowed !
His own figures confront him, and he never
dared, while AMEs was alive to challenge
this proof of his fragrant corruption.
GARFIELD is more responsible than any
other member OF the infamous Forty-second
Congress for the passage Of the salary steal
and back pay grab. He, M Chairman OF the
Appropriations, had charge Of the Lcglsla-
tive, judicial and Executive bill, which was
sent back from the Senate on the oath OF
February, 1873, loaded down with amend
ments Of spoliation, and was called up late
at night by GARFIELD, though he had in
formed a number Of members not In the con-
spiracy that this bill would not be consld-
cred, while others were on tho ground
waiting to revive the grab, which had been
defeated n fortnight previously. This breach
OF faith opened the door for the steal and
DAWES in the chair, gave IL all the aid OF
the most shameful rulings TO admit the
amendment. With the entering wedge
driven home, the rest of the work was easy.
and resulted In the passage OF bill which
for barcfaced venality and audacious plum
der has hardly a parallel in legislation.
Throughout his whole career in Congress
GARFIELD has shown himself to be unwor-
thy of the least trust. He has upheld every
iniquity, voted for every job, defended every
Ring, and pockctcd all he could get. These
crimes are moro damning because he is a
man Of education, Of study, and Of consider
able resources, and he has been preacher
Of religion. He is at the head OF the corrupt
crew who have brought disgrace ON Con-
grcss, let down the whole tone of legislation.
and invited suspicion toward public men.
II was fitting that he should have led the
movement TO resist any investigation Of the
Great Fraud. because when the whole truth
shall be dragged from its hiding places he
will Toe found deep in the conspiracy by
which the vote Of Louisiana was stolen, n
one of the visiting statesmen and adj
viscrs Of the Returning Board lie was
seeking to protect himself and his associates
