AS soon as the act of amnesty removed


their disabilities some politicians resumed


the enterprise Of gaining control OF the
government by rekindiing the fame be-
tween the former slaveholding and non

should cross into the dominions which


they claimed for their own. They revived

very many Of them had sought for ''Ian'

cotton. These remedies proposed are


merely the restoration Of sectional hatred,


and the "Yankees" are to be whipped out


with their own men and their own money


by these adroit and irreconcilable mana


gers. 1t is due to the Southern people to


say that an immense majority OF them look


upon the political marabouts and whlri-


ing dervishes as crazy. They are satlstec


that these galvanized fossils do an i'm


mense harm, and obstruct the very resto-
ration to which their faraticism pretends.


But the old party combinations between


the North and South can never be re-


newed. The old term Of copartnership is
gone. Once it was only necessary to de-


tail some Pennsylvania Democrats to vote
for duty on iron. and allow some Louisi.

and protective tariff beng assured. the
politicians of the South could take such
domestic offices or foreign missions as
they wished. The tariff of revenue is
now tariff of protection. and so the
Northern people. in virtue Of their supe-

offices without any Southern partnership.
But now the farmers of the West become
discontented with the oppressive exac-
tons of the railroads. The metaphy-
sicians. not one of whom could tell
what is the legal weight Of a
bushel of corn, prick up their ears at the
idea that the West may be set against the
East and South Carolina may come in
to establish protectorate over them both.
So. having learned that the West is
another cardinal point on the political
compass. our metaphysicians look to that,
and propose to hiss the West on the East.
Their mode Of efecting this is SO clumsy
and antiquated that we can not forbear to
repeat it. They remind the farmer that
the tariff Oh the railroad is first
cousin of the tariff on imported goods,
and exhor. them to so construe the federal
constitution as to reinstate the rights Of
the States. The antiquarians do not know

How IT STANDs.--It has heretofore
been generally understood, particularly
b. people residing in the Eastern States
and Europe, that San Francisco was To-
Gated in and was part Of the State of
California. y meeting recently held at
the Chamber Of Commerce, in San Fran
cisco, to express opposition to the Goat Isl
and bill, will serve to correct this impres-
sion. The speeches made on the occasion
referred to show plainly that the intor-
estsof California depend entirely upon
San Francisco and are subordinate there
TO, and that the interior has no rights
which the metropolis is in any way bound
TO respect. Some remarkable speeches
and resolutions offered at this meeting
were considered as proving this doctrine
so clearly that they were ordered tcle-
graphed to the Associated Press Of New
York. The election Of Clayton, who was
said to be strongly in favor Of the Goat
Island bill, by vote Of one thousand
over Grant in the city Of San Fancisco,
may now be put down in the category Of
fables. The immense public meeting Of
about three hundred persons, represent

composed Of attorneys and correspond

proves true and becomes known soon

two-thirds Of present rates, and the duty

not upon the Government, but upon a

Twas good, no dopbt-'tis gone at last

Why should we sis where ivies creep,
And shroud ourselves in charnels deep,
Or the worlds yesterdays depiore
Mid crum bling ruins messy hoar;
Why should we see with dead mems eyes,
Looking at Was from morn to night,
When the beauteous Now, the divine To Be,
Woo with their charms our living sight?
Why should We hear but echoes dull
When the world OF sound so beautiful,

Why in the darkness should we grope,
When the sun, in heavens respondent cope,
Shines as bright as it ever shone?
The Present needs as. Every age
Bequeaths the next for heritage,
No lazy luxury delight,
But strenuous labor for the right;
For Now, the child and sire Of Time,
Demands the deeds Of earnest men
To make it better than the past,


And stretch the circle Of its ken,
Now is a fact that men deplore,
Though it might bless them evermore;
Would they but fashion it Alright,
'Tis ever new, it's ever bright,
Time nor eternity hath seen
A repetition Of delight
In all its phases; meier hath been


For men angels that which Is;
And that which it hath ceased to be
Ere we have breathed it, and its place
Is lost in the eternity.
But Now is ever good and fair,

And we of it. So let us live
That from the Past we may receive
Light for the Now-frOm Now a joy
That fate nor Time shall ne'er destroy.

THE military officers at new Camp Grant have been so industrious and publicly use- fu1, that it is with reluctance THE CITIZEN finds just little fault with them; but a case is reported wherein it don't seem com patible with the high and holy mission of a Journalist to fail to properly mention. The case is reported about this way: One of the noble red men who failed to escape capture by the troops, has been in irons at Grant Of late. Deprived of liberty, he wanted to get rid of life, too, and first tried to kill himself with knife, then with a piece of glass, and lastly by hanging. Now it is doubtful if ever Apache attempt ed any better labor than did this same fel- low, ana yet he was prevented by some body in authority at Grant. It is therefore not surprising that on last Sunday night, when everything was still, this abused and thwarted "SOn of the forest" slipped off his manacles and left his oppressors. It is likely that this unfortunate savage had listened to the glowing descriptions of "the peaceful realms above" by the saintly COlyer and Howard, and longed to E be yar,' and we feel impelled to say that the authorities at Grant did considerable violation to the Golden Rule in not letting him "gC yar.''

Report Of the Committee on Temper
ance:


The improper use of alchoholic stimu'
lants is the cause of nine-tenths of the
crimes, pauperism and suffering now en-.
dured by the community. And the
Church of Jesus Christ, bdng the light
Of the world, and in virtue Of her char
acter and high commission, she is bound
to have a clear and distinct testimony
against crime and the cause Of crime.
And our appointment making it a duty
binding on us to consider the subject in
relation to our own Church-therefore


Resolved, lst. That it is the sense Of
this General Assembly that it is sin to
make, buy, sell or give, in any way to
use as a beverage, intoxicating drink Of
any descriptions.


I'd. That in cases where church mem
bers persist in the violation of the prin-
ciples above stated, that the church ses-
sion be urged to deal with such offenders
and free the church from the guilt and
scandal of such unchristian conduct.


3D.. That inasmuch as these evils Of
such immense magnitude can only be
successfully resisted by associated effort,
our ministry and members are advised TO
encourage temperance organizations wher-
ever it is practicable.


4th. That we heartily approve the
temperance legislation which has been had
in several of the States recently, and we
earnestly recommend our people to aid
by all prudent means the enforcement of
temperance laws wherever they exist.
