Tender and true,


You kept faith with me.
As l kept faith with you;
Though over us both
Since we plighted our trOth,
Long years have rolled;
But our love could hold
Through troubles and trials manifold.


My darling tender and truei

In your eyes gazed,
And my heart was safe knswi
Your trusting smile
Was pure of guile.
And read in sooth
On your brow's fair youth
The earnest of loyal trust and truth,


My darling, tender and truel

All my own at last
My blessing for all life through.
In death as in life
My own beloved wife
Mine-mine at last;
All troubles past.
And the future all happiness, deep and vast,


My darling. tender und true!

THE WIFE OF EDMUND BURKE.-Al letters
and all anecdotes, all conjectures and all facts,
agree in showing that the young lady who in
the twentythird year of her age exchanged
the name Of Miss Nugent for that Of Mrs.
Edmund Burke, made one of the best of wives
with which u man OF genius was ever blessed.
She was not indeed what is called regular
beauty But she was ever sweet and gentle in
her disposition, and inexpressbly winning and
graceful in her manners. Quiet, thoughtful,
retiring, firm and decided i'll her principles,
calm and cOnSiderate In all her actions, she
knew the world, but was not corrupted by it !;
and though good-natured to everybody, her
happiness was centered in her husband. The
beautiful character which Burke drew of her
on the thirteenth anniversary OF their marriage
reads like an ideal; but stern men OF the word,
like MIR. Hardy and Sir Phillip Francis spoke
of her as all that was beautiful and amiable
among women; and so shrewd a critic OF her
own sex as Miss Burney, and SO good and Sc
we're woman as Hannah More, have cordially
given similar testimony. A wife who could
make such men and women enthusiastically
praise her virtue and amlableneSs must have
been virtuouS and amiable indeed She gldes
with Quaker calmness, and an almost saintllke
beauty, through the agitating scenes OF Burke 5
daily life, ever soothing his natural lrrltablEty
| by her natural gentlenesS standing by his side
in moments of despOndence, cheering him in
poverty, nursing him in sickness, consoling
him in sorrow. Proud to live in the shadow
of him whom she so devotedly loved, she con-
fined herself almost exclusively to the home
which for him she was SO anxious to make
happy; and so unpretending indeed was she,
that few of Burke friends, except those who
habitually visited at his house, had the slight.
est acquaintance with his wife, or even seemed
to be aware of her existence. In that great
lottery where domestic happiness is staked
Burke was thoroughly success sful. Whatever
his subsequent troubles, it is much to remem-
ber that at his freside there was peace.

TIE GRIFFIN HABEAs CORPUS CASE-Mo-
TIoN TO QUAsH THE WRIT.-In the United
States Circuit Court yesterday Messrs.
Neeson and Johnson, attorneys for the re-
spondent, moved to quash the writ of hd0edS
corpus in the case Of Caesar Griffin. The
reason assigned was that the writ had been
improperly issued by the clerk of the Cir
cult instead of the District Court, the init
nation being that the District Judge had
no right to issue o writ returnable to the
Circuit Court.


The Chief Justice decided that the writ
was not pending in the Circuit Court, and
therefore the motion to quash could not be
entertained. He considered the writ to be
pending before Judge John C. Underwood
at cham bers, and that from his decision an
appeal would be othe Circuit Court. Owing
to the strange condition of the papers of the
caseit was not surprising thatthe impression
prevailed that the cause was pending in the
Circuit Court. The District Judge had or
dered the clerk Of the Circuit Court TO issue
the writ, and the clerk had issued the writ
returnahle before the Judge of his court.
The Chief Justice considered the case as if
the writ had been made returnable before
John G.. Underwood, Judge of the Circuit
Court, stating that the District Judge was
by law one of the Judges of the Circuit
Court. Judge Underwood could therefore
hear the cause under said writ as the Dis
trict Judge at chambers. The case could
come into the Circuit Court only by appeal
from Judge Underwood's decision.

supposed conductor, Captain Young asked
him if he could take another passenger
with him on his next trip. The conductor
(for such he proved to he) replied that he
was the conductor of the milk train, and
was not going out again that night. Cap
tain Young again asked him, in case he
went out that night, to take him as pas
senger, and the conductor again insisted
that he was moi going out that night. While
thus engaged in conversation three clear
and distinct whistles were sounded from
the direction of the Bergen tunnel. This
was answered by the conductor swinging his
lantern. The station agent here became
very much excited, declared that the train
in the depot had no business on the main
track, and ordered the engineer to at
once take it out of the way of the sup
posed incoming train. The engineer at
once sprang to his post, the conductor men
toned above sprang on the platform of the
car, and at rapid rate Of speed the train
left the depot. Instead of running on
side track, however, the speed of the train
was increased, and at a rapid rate it dashed
into the tunnel and disappeared in the dis
tance The drawingroom car is supposed
to have contained Messrs. Fisk and Gould.
The train left about A. NJ. at % o'clock
A. NJ. the carriage which had left the front
Of the Eric building WAS observed crossingto
this side on one Of the Pavonia Avenue ferry
boats, but the former occupants had disap-
peared. 1t is coniectured that the carriage
and its occupants crossed on either the
Christopher-street or some other of the up
town ferries.


Yesterday neither of the directors men
toned was to be seen in or around the Erie
building, and the rumor that they had fled,
taking with them the entire available as
sets of the road, amounting, in stocks and
money, so the rumor ran, to from SIS ,0O0,O 900
to s60,000,000. Where the refugees have
gone to is q mystery. The car episode
would seem to indicate that they had gone
long distance down the Erie railway, but
there are those who do not hesitate to assert
that both gentlemen can be found, should
iiligent search be made, either in this
city or Jersey City. The affair has created
the most intense excitement in Wall street
and in legal circles, considerable curiosity
being evinced to know what ex-Judge Henry
s. Davies, the receiver recently appointed
by Judge Sutherland, will do in the matter.
In the mean time those most directly in
terested in the road, with the aid of the
police of this city, are endeavoring to as
certain the whereabouts Of the missing Off
GERS and the large sum they have in Gus
tody.

THE JUDICIARY. = The action of the
Legislature in redstricting the Territory
and making a new assignment of Judges,
requires explanation. The ncompetency of
Judge Hewitt, and his entire unGtness for
the discharge of judicial duties was such
that the people of the Second District were
clamoring for his removal This was the
condition of affairs at the opening of the
session. Two modes of relief presented
themselves: The first, was to pass memo
rial asking his removal The second, was
to create new District, where there would
be little or no litigation. This last was The
course adopted, and Judge Hewitt assigned
to a position where his opportunities for
mischief will be limited Whether the
Legislature acted wisely in this matter, is
for the people to determine. The assignment
of the Chief Justice to District embracing
but single county, rendered reorganiza'
tion of the remaining Districts necessary,
and accordingly Wala Walla and Yakima
counties were added to tie Second Judicial
District. The bill as it originally passed the
Council assigned Judge Darwin to the Sec.
ond District, and Judge Wyche to the Third
In the House this assignment was reversed,
and the bill coming back to the Council the
amendment was concurred in. Politics had
nothing to do with the movement, the mea,
sure having originated with the republicans
and was supported by the democrats for the
reason that they believed it to be their duty
to aid in relieving the people from the curse
of an incompetent judicial officer.

The die is cast and the radicals are jubilant.
The egg laid BY Ashley, watched and kept "Ar"
BY covode, has at last brought forth the long
sought articles Of ofimpeaebment The eonmit'ee
on rsconstructiou, to whom the question was
referred, reported 10 favor Of imPeaehing Andrew
Johnson Of high crimes and nisdemeanors
Immediately thereupon The question was put 10
the House and passed BY strict party vote.
The grounds for this outrage upon the Consutu-
ton and liberties Of the people is what-simpy
removing Stanton, a man who is to-day cotfess'
edly the most unpopular man who ever held
position under the government. He is man
who haS ever treated the soldier Of the country
as dog. rather than as a man. When we read
that Mr.. s. has the army with him in bis quarrel
with the President, we are called upon to stamp
t as libel on the soldiery. Under the Tenure
Office Bill Mr.. Johnson had right to suspend
him, the law of Congress giving bim that power.
In what position does Mr.. Stanton stand to-day
before the American people He is the individual
who wrote the veto message upon said bill. In
that paper-and it was an able one-he took
strong grounds that Congress bad no right 10
pass bill of that character, that it was nncon-
stitutioual he even went so far as to intimate
that no gentleman would hold an Office under the
provisions of the bill. He is convicted upon his
own deliberate testimony as man devoid oi
principle or that high regard for the Constitution
that every good citizen should entertain. The
Senate has now tie duty to decide the question
whether the charges of the House are sustained
by the evidence about to be submitted to
them. We have some knowledge of the Senate
and from that we have no fears but that Andrew
Johnson will continue to hold bis Office until the
4rh of March, go. Under the Constitution, il
requires two-thirds of all the Senators to i'm
peach. In looking over the list of Senators We
do not find that number who will sustain the
action Of the House in its mad attempt to over
throw coordinate branch of the government
Come what may, we have the utmost confidence
in the people that they will stand by the Presi


dent in any steps he may take to perpetuate thu
government founded by Washington.
