Clouds of thickest blackness gathered O’er my soul’s dark sen of sin, And the port of heaven was guarded From my guilty entering in ; Then entile Jesus, walking to mo, O'er the surging waves of sin, Calling, clear above the tempest, ‘lie that trusteth, heaven shall win 1’ Now through all the sacred pages, YVhere my woe and doom had been, Glean these golden words of promise “He that trusteth, heaven shall win!” Blessed, suio, and blood bought protni>o Let Ine drink its sweetness in— He that trusts his soul in Jesua, “lie that truateth, heaven shall win 1” Trust—oh, Saviour, givo its fullness To mo at thy feet in prayer, Grant my dying lips to breath* it— Leave its lingering sweetness there : Sweetness ther*. to stay the breaking Os the hearts that love me so, YVhispering from my silent coffin, “Trust the hand which lays mo low.” Loved ones, ns yc rear the tnarldo Pure above my waiting duet, Grave no other word upon it But th« holiest, sweetest—Trust; For this password know the angels, Guarding o’er the pearly door, Password to his blessed presence, Whom I tiust forevermore.

A Washington letter says: “The order of General Sherman, designating his staff, creates considerable e minent, not only in army, but also in other circles hero. For the first timo in Hie history of this Government, the military commander of the army has taken the heads of several bureaus of the YVar Department, and made them members of his general staff.— Heretofore, the adjutant general, inspector general, quartermaster general, etc., have been under the direct orders of the Secretary of YVar, and tho genet al commanding the armies has had hi* own separate and distinct general staff. But General Sherman has placed them under his own complete control, and thus made a perfect military consolidation, for all orders to the quartermaster general, adjutant c-eneral or other head of a War Department bureau, must pass through the General of the army, and the Secretary ©f YVar is thus left with but little power, control or authority. In fact he is a more figure head—an official with a title, and not much else. The fact, too, that Get>eral Sherman has located hishoad quarters in the YVar Department, excites some comment.” Time as a Preserver. Air slaked lime has been frequently recom mended as a preserver for vegetables when stored in cellars or pits. Recently we heard a gentleman state that ho was in the habit of sprinkling it among his apples in barrels and bins, and he thought delicate fall varieties could thus be kapt much beyond their season. The lime dust could be easily removed from the apples by using a cloth or brush, and it imparted no flavor to the fruit. The use of lime in the cellar, as a preservative agent is a good idea. It acts by absorbing moisture, and if one individual in the mass decays, the lime arrests the spt ead of the disease to others. It is well to hint to our readers that cellars should be overhauled at this season, and all decaying matter removed ; the “sweating” stage with stored vegetables is over, and specimens moat prone to rot have developed disease. Sort them out, sprinkle some lime on the remainder, and purify your cellar from dangerous auxilia ries of the disease.—[Rural Now Yorker. Twenty one murders in ten days in Indiana, and only ten arrested. For a State barren of Ku Klux, filled with “trooly loil” people and enjoying a Radical government, this exhibits a most lamentable deaith of high moral ideas. New England should send out its missionaries immediately. Change Apprehended. The Washington correspondent of the Bat* tiinore Gazette, says: The intimations from this point of a contemplated change in tho form of our Government are by no menus sensational. They are tho effect of tho uni versal apathy of the people under flagrant usurpations of power. YVhen Cffl.sar crossed the Rubicon, the people of Rome had already become imbecile, luxurious and corrupt. The form of Government ceased to be a question in which they felt they had tho slightest concern. The contest was narrowed down to an issue purely between two rival militaty chieftains. It is the deliberate opinion of thoughtful men here, of both political parties, that we are upon the eve of a fundamental political change. The peojde of the United States aro at this moment in a condition more favorable to the ambitious views of a daring man than wore the Romans when they differed only iu the choice of a master —ranging themselves on the side of Ciß:ar and Puinpey respectively. Doubtless the present supinoness and docil ity of the people is to be attributed mainly to tho tremendous conflicts through which tho country has passed. The mero idea of the possibility of another is quite sufficient to throw a vast majority of them into a paroxysm of terror. It is also felt tlmt, with the popular suffrage diluted as it now is, and will further be. the right to vote is next to no right at all, and that being tho only one left, its surrender, together with the now unmeaning and expen sive forms of a Republic, would boa sacrifice amply compansated by the security to life and personal liberty and property, toe assumed fruits of kingly authority. A master is therefore wanted! An npathetic nation invites a yoke for its people to save them from an imaginary danger I YVlio will the King be? Undoubtedly Grant might, without a blow, have assumed and maintained regal power, Had he the nerve? Nol The thing was unquestionably in his head, and hence the original programme of his Cabinet and his other appointments. But he cowered at the first symptoms of revolt on the part of a faction in the Senate who would have sur rendered at discretion upon the summons of a single Orderly Sergeany People, although without courage, admire that virtue in leaders, and are marvelously quick iu discivering tho white feather. General Grant, by his surrender to Wilson and Sumner in the appointments of B -utwell to the Treasury and Motley to the English mission, has forever broken the spell that might have enthralled a great people.— The substitution of Boutwell for Stewart is the more astounding since the latter was a declared free-trader, (and therefore acceptable to the President's own section ) while the for mer is an avowed protectionist, and generally inimical to the interests of the YVest. Os the appointment of Motley I hear no special com plaint from any quarter. The reason is so obvimis that it need not be referred to. In other respects the new President has lost moral power. The very small piece of malice dis played in the removal of General R’air from merely an honorary position, at so early a time as to impart to the act character of mere spite, is quite sufficient to show that the Prasidcnt will prove harmless, except as the willing tool of the Radical faction. Church Stealing in Virginia. The Y’irginia Radical Church Conference at Alexandria adjourned a few days since. A paper signed by Phelps and Mitchell says : ‘ • We have been denounced as house stealers and robbers, hut this will not divert us from our purpose, if possible, to possess them. Those who contributed to build them gave their means in good faith to provide places for the worship of God. to he conducted under the authority of the Methodist Episcopal church, and an at tempt to divert the trust is, if successful, a breach of the contract. We cannot consent that this contract shall bo broken. YV e have driven no one from thoso temples, and those w ho have left voluntarily have no right to take the property that according to all just princi ples we are entitled to use. YYedoubt not that when the season of passion shall have passed away, reflecting and just men will accord our claim to tho property that, under the plan of separation, passed to tha Methodist Episcopal Church South,” [Tho whole claim is just this : The houses were deeded to the “M. E. Church tho peo ple in them joined tho M. K. Church South, and Phelps would cheat them because of the change of name.] —Macon lei. YValter N. Haldeman, who i» a live nevrs pajier man, full of energy and tact, has obtained entire control of the English newspaper press of Louisville.

The States and the 14th Amendment. The amendments to the bill enforcing the Fourteenth Amendment, proTido for proceed ing* by quo waTTQitlo, with precedence over all cases on thedoekets of the United State* Courts. The penalty is not more than ono yoar’s im prisonment or a fine of one thousand dollars and a perpetual disqualification from Federal offices. This is a bill which substantially abolishes the Stato Governments for all practical purpo ses of defense to the citizen. The first sec tion of the Fourteenth Amendment reads os follows : “ All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to tho jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the Unitod Status, and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of Citizens of the United States, nor shall any State de prive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal pro* tcction of the law.” Section 3d reads, “No person shall boa Senator or Representative in Congress, or Elector of President or Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under tho United States, or under any State, who, having pre viously taken an oath as a moinborof Oongres* or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of the State Legislature, or as an ex ecutive or judicial officer of any State, to sup port the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or support to tho enemies thereof. But Congress may, by n vote of two-thirds of each House, remove *tlch disability.” Soction 4th enacts, “ Tho validity of the puhlio debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for service* its snppress ing insurrection or rebellion, shall not bo ques tioned." YVe will not undertake a construction of tb# Fourteenth Amendment. It seems to have been drawn so as to cover, if desired, almost the whole range of questions at issue between the States an<! Congress upon Ethiopian rights and immunities—even this very question of negro office holding—what are tho “ privileges and immunities” of citizens of tho United States? What would be considered an abridgement? The amendment assumes to declare who are citizens of the States, and who may not he members of a State Legislature or State officers. Does it not prohibit an abridge ment of “ privileges and immunities” which it inflicts upon one class in respect to all others ? We think the amendment is so drawn as to leave these questions to judicial construction and interpretation. Again : YVhat means this amendment by declaring that the validity of the national debt “ shall not be questioned ?” Does it prohibit popular, or State, or judicial, or Congressional question of the validity of the public debt? or does it prohibit all questions ? Tlera, too, is quite a wide realm for tho range of interpre tation. Now, the bill before Congress enforcing the Fourteenth Amendment provides for the most summary proceedings, in the United States Courts, against all citizens of the States who violate the Fourteenth Amendment. It super cedes tho whole business of thoso courts until violation* of this Fourteenth Amendment are tried and punished by imprisonment or fine and perpetual disqualification. In view of the premises it seems to boa needless business to say that, under this act of Congress and the amendment together, the at titude of tha citizen in respect to the Federal Government is totally changod. The amend* ■luent* seems to be worded so as to create a class of mere political offenses, which shall, if need he, subject a citizen to summary punishment for even wagging his tongue indiscreetly, and the State Legislator for legislating in disre spect to nr denial of any of tho standing dog mas of tho Republican paaty so-called. The most extreme construction of the Fourteenth Amendment we have ailudod is the construc tion given to it by Senator Sumner and his followers, and henee ho proposed to reinstate the negroes in the Georgia Legislature by act to enforce the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Amendment, we rapeat, is couched in language so vague and general that it will mean whatever it* friends determine to make it mean. Th* gigantic progress of the Federal Govern ment in the destruction of the independence of tho. States, and through it, of the liberties of the people, must very speedily bring on a grand crisis in America, in which the decisive battle ot Republican liberty will be fought and the question settled whether we are to have any Constitutional securities at all, or the last vestige of them is to bo swept away and the Government is to sink into an absolutism of whosoever holds it in posession.—[Macon Telegraph. 1 a ♦ Tus Pardons Revoked by President Grant. —The YVajhington correspondent of the Bal timore Sun writes as follows: It will be recollected that President Grant, immediately upon his taking office as Presi dent, dirocted that certain pardons issued by President Johnson should be revoked, or withheld from the persons intended to bo par doned in ceitain cases in New York, Massa chusetts and elsewhere. Attorney General Iloar has had this subject under consideration, and it is understood he decides that the revo cation of the President will not stand in law ; that the not of the Executive was complete when ths warrant of pardon was placed in the hands of tire United States Marshal or other officer, and that if tho persons intended to bo pardoned shall not be released, that, upon Habeas Corpus, tho courts would release them. VOL 4. NO. 19 A Rttnaway Husband. At an early hour yesterday morning, a very protty young lady, announcing herself a* re cently from Springfield, LI., called oh tho Chief of Police to make inquiries about her husband, who she said was some sort of agci& in this city, and was named Janies Flower. ohe said he invariably inado a Southern tour in the winter, and although she could nov*r understand just exactly what his businosg was, she was sure it was a profitable one, aa he had suppliod her with money far exceeding her modest requirements. Not having heard from him for*severul months, she had b*com« uneasy and had determined to seek him. Her modest, lady-like demeanor, her exceed ing prcttinwss, interested tho Chief—who ever has an eye to female beauty—and he bsgged to be given a description of her husband, that he might ascertain if ho was still in the city. Tha description was furnished, and in addition a photograph of the party of whom she vu in search. Imagino the surprißo of the Chief and his officers when it was recognized as th* picture of a well known thief. Surprise held them spell-bound. It was evident the wife knew hotiiing of her husband's oecupa/100 and to tell her was an offico that no one eared to undertake. Tho man had been in tb« Workhouse for several months, which accoun ted for her not hearing from him. It was a sad duty to porform, but the Chief felt that she ought to know the truth, and as tenderly a* he could the intelligence was imparted. Her look of horror and the cry of bitter an* gnish that came from her lips, attested how little she had known of the truth. [N. O. Picayune. A Columbus, Mississippi, paper relate* that a pompous old negro lately rodo up to th* home of a citizen of that plac*, and asked th* favor of a word at the gate, as he couldn’t well leave his steed. YVell, what is, it?” quoth the man of th 6 house. “Mornin’ sah I I come to ax if you ow*d enything to Moses Dunn, 'ceased. Pm d* moderator oh de ’state now, and wishes to set* tie up ali hi* 'fairs. I can find plenty folk* dat he owe*, but its hard work to find any dat owe* him.” The gentleman didn’t owe anything. A Valuable Discovery. A process has been discovered for the pre vention of the decay of wood. As the result of a five years' experience, a paint is recom* mended whieh at tha sam* time possesses tho advantago of being impervious to water. It is oomposed of fifty parts of tar, forty part* of finely crushed chalk, five hundred parts of fine white, hard sand, four parts of linseed oil, one partof the red oxide of copper in its native state, and finally, one part of sulphuric acid. In order to manufacture tho paint from thi* multiplicity of materials, the tar, chalk, sand, and oil, are first heated in an iron kettle, th* oxide and sulphuric are then added with a groat deal of caution. The mass is very care* fully mixed and applied while hot. YVhen thoroughly dry, this paint is a* hard as a stone. ‘ Y ain Man.— YY hilst thou art building cas tles, the carpenter is building thy coffin. YVhile deceitful illusions are gilding thy future prospects, the painter i* leisurly putting the varnieh upon the casket that is being fitted for thy reception. YVhile thou art striving hard to distinguish thyself among thy fellows, the marble worker is fitting the slab that shall mark thy gravo. YVhile you aro querying as to the wherewithal you shall be clothed, mate rials for your burial suit are upon the trades man s shelf. You add field to field, and anx iously reach out for more ; but go to the gravo yard and stake out the lot which death shall soon assign you. “ Then whose shall those things be whith thou hast provided?" The Wars Coming. Two wars are said to be coming, for the reasons following: 1. A war with England, because, as is al leged, she interfered in behalf of the Southern rebels against tho United States. 2. A war with Spain, because the United States are going to interfere in behalf of th* Cuban rebel* against Spain. The eauses of th© wars, you will observo, are perfectly harmonious and consistent. The object is to teacli the nations of the earth to let each other’s concerns alone when the Uni ted States wants them to do so, and to “ make rebellion ojous.”—Macon Tel. Fifty-nine democrats in the Indiana Legis lature resigned the other day so as to prevent a quorum, and thus stave off the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the Federal Consti tution recently passed by Congress in favor of universal suffrage in all the States. Good Democrats, these.

Thirty-five years ago forty days were con-' sumed in a journey from Philadelphia to Chi cago—nine hundred miles ; but now we reach the Pacific a distance from Philadelphia of over three thousand miles, in a little more than a week. The New York Revolution exhorts the “girl* to stand by each other and by the men who stand by you.” A Mobile editor was arrested by a negro policeman and fined SSO the other day, for showing a country editor tho practical work-*' ing of the fire alarm telegraph by giving a false alarm of fire.
