The Silent Mel0dS.

Bring me my broken harp" he sxid:
I'VE both are wfecks-but Is ye will
Though all its ringing tones have fed,
Their echoes linger round il sti'i;
u had SOME golden strings, know.
But that was lohg-hOw long i-agQ,
q
u cannot see its furnished gold,
| cannot hear its banished tbte,
Scarcs can my trembling fingers hold
lie pillared frame 50 long their own.
We both are wrecks-a while ago
/, had some silver strings, | know
"But on them Time too long has ,,,,.a
The solemn strain thar ..ows no cb,n,.
And where of 90 20 my fingers ,,rayed
" ne lords they find are new and strange;
.ss; iron strngs-I know know
We both sre wrecks Of long ago.
I'VE both are wrecks=A 4 shattered pair
Strange TO ourselves in Times Disguise
What say YOU to the lovesick air
That brought the tears frCm Mariap's eyes
tyi trust me-under breasts Of snow
Hearts could be melted long ago.
"Or will ye hear the storm. songs crash
That from his dreams the soldier woke
And bade him face the lightning fash,
When battles cloud in thunder brokef
Wrecks-naught but wrecks the time was
We two were worth thousand men r',r
And 20 the broken harp they bring
With plying smiles that none could blame:
Alas! there's not single string
or all that filled the furnished frame!
Bnt see! like children oveIjoyed,
HIS fingers rambling through the void.
bclasp thee! Ay-mine ancient lvre-
Nay, guide my wandering finsers-Ther.,
They love to daily with tho wire,
As Isaac played with Esau'. hair
Hush! ye shall hear the famons tune
That Marian called the breath of June.r
And 50 they softly gathered round;
Rspt ia his tuneful trance he seems:
His fingers move, but not q sound!
A silence like the song OF dreams
~Ihere! ye have heard the air." he cries
"Ihat brought the tears from Marians eyes"
An smile not at his fond concei,,
Nor deem his fancy wrought in vain;
To him the unreal sounds are sweet
No discord mars the silent strain
Scored on life's latest starlit page
The voiceless melody of age.
Sweet are the lips of all that sing,
when natures music breathes unsought
But never yet could voice or string
SO truly shape our tenderest thought
As when by life's decaying fire
Our fingers swept the stringless Tyre!

Beware of Anti Tammany!!!

The following article appeared in
the Baltimore Gazette, of a recent
date, as an advertisement:
The indiscreet friends of Elk. Sena-
tor Hamilton have begun rather ear ly
the same vut-throat policy which has
just eliminated in the defeat of Hon.
George Peter for Congress, for in
their threat of repeating Anti-Tam-
many here il their faVorite is not
nominated for Governor, they only
invite defeat for him should he OBJ
tain the nomination. A gentleman
hailing from a district, W hich swings
from II Democratic majority to 800
Republican majority, simply because
the Congressional nominee does not
suit his friends and adherents, should
not allow his adherents to threaten Il
community which has for years
given more than 10000 Democratic
majority, and upon which that par
tvs success in this State is chiefly
-bOttomeI.
Mr.. Hamilton has been ttUice de-
fedted for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton and if he wishes to try it again
nobody objects and he will have a
fairopportunitv, but when his friends
wantonly insult other Democrats
and threaten combination with Re
pubicans the Baltimore Democracy
will resentit and give thema Roland

ment to office Of so many Of the Re-
formers Of 1875 without revolution
among the regular Democracy, we
should hear no more of that mean
style of opDrObri0uS warfare in DEM
ocratic ranks. One thing is certain,
if the mudsiingers act in the mode
adopted by "Democrat'' in Tuesdays
Sun, there will be Lively times before

all ON one side, and if we are to
surrender the state to Republican
control be it so, it will never be
transferred to apOstate Democrats,
that is sure. The declaration Of war
from the "Anti-Yammany" camp
has no terrors for tue Democrats, for
they can live under Radical domino

The Independent Movement.

Some of our daily contemporaries
have been discussing this week an
independent movement" which one
Of them processes to have discovered
to be gently "booming" in this city
and State. Whether such move
ment has yet taken shape or not,
there can be very little doubt in the
mind of any one acquainted with
our local politics that there will be
such a movement before the next
election. There are so many fat of
fees at stake, and 50 many anxious
Office seekers who would like to fill
them, that disappointed aspirants
will probably be numerous in the
State after the nominations have
been made.
We have no doubt, however, that
there will be only too abundant
cause for an honest independent
movement in this city at least.
Those who now hold the offices want
to hold on to them, and by dint of
official influence, as well as by re-
course to other "methods" with
which they are only too familiar, may
succeed i'll getting the regular nomi-
nations, in which case it is probable
they will not get anything else.
The contest next Fall will be one
of the most exciting that we ever
had in the State, and from all the
circumstances it seems more than
probable that it will give rise to an
independent movement of the most
formidable character, and in which
many prominent Democrats will
take d part.-B0LtiHOre02l.

Frauds in South Carolina.

The independent speaks Of the rev.
Citations Of fraud in this State as afro

"But we will remember that those
who fight against right fight against

fore they gain the mastery. Fraud
and terrorism may carry an election
for year or two; but there is an
other year, and another after that,
and at last the side that has the goods
will win. Education, religion will
develop manIiness in the Negroes;
and by and by they will deserve
their rights and be able to maintain
and defend them. Long before that
time we hope the temper Of the South
will have changed, and the whites

The Potter committee will not hold
a session until after the meeting of
Congress. One of the first things that
will engage It's attention, if it ever
does meet, will be the propriety of
issuing a subpoena for the editor Of
the New York tribune, citing him
to appear before the committee, with
the famous cipher dispatches. This
matter is already under adYisement,
privately, between different mem.
bers of the committee. The object
will be not to give the Republicans
in the House time to move in the
matter, and a subpoena dtces tecual
will issue before the meeting of
Congress.

If "the calling of the State con-

tic hopes for the future, and they are
looking forward to success in the
campaign Of the ensuing year under
the management Of our present lead
ers; hence it would be imp0litic to
renew former strifes which should be
forever buried in oblivion.
Suppose a new State convention
did assemble-if a full representation
could be got together, which is very
doubtful -who could be found as a
leader who would render the party
more service, oratorically, financial
ly, or ministerially, than our present
honOred chairman He assumed
the management with an empty
treasury, an almost hopeless division
of the party, with bitter envenomed
opponents, fiercely jealous of the as
tendency of others than themselves,
and ready to totally destroy the par
ty if their own selfish aims could not
be accomplished. We might say
"the bottom was almost out of it,"
He restored order out of chaos care
full and circumspect in all his actions,
DESTROYS of avoiding offence, forget
ting the past, exhibiting no personal
feeling or antipathy to any, at the
commencement of the campaign he
invited all Republicans who desired
the success Of the party to aid him.
The result, in part, has been a sue
cessful campaign and some Of his
most bitter opponents have been
compelled to acknowledge that his
management has been a success
through difficulties under which any
ordinary man would havesuccumbed.
The lesson of the past has taught
US that unity Of action should be
our motto. A renewal of former
contentious in Baltimore or else
where in the State is to be deprecat-
ed and it is to be hoped that no more
such articles will be published b. any
Republican paper that has the true
interests of the prrty at heart.
Fully approaching TIE services
rendered our district by the State
committee and having entire conf
dence in itand our representatives in
that body, we see no reason for any
change, and we think that any
movement looking to call for a new
State convention, outside Of the le-
Ultimate channel. is itself an attempt
at disorganization that should be
universally condemned by the Re-
publican party.

In fact, such arrests have been here
