MOTHER'S ORATE.
BY G. D. PRENTIC-
The trembling dew drops fall
ITpon the shutting flowers, like souls at
rest:
The-etars shine gloriously, snd all
Save me are blest.
Mother, I love thy grave !
Tits violet, with its blossoms blue aud
mild,
Waves o’er they bead. When will it wave
Above thy child ?
’Tis a sweot flewnr, yet must
Its bright leave* to the morning temptest
' bow;
Dear mother, 'tis thins emblem—-dust
Is on thy brow.
And I could love to die—
To leave untasted life’s dark bitter streams
By thee, as erst ia childhood, lie
And share thy dreams.
And I must linger here,
To slain the plumage of my sinless years
And mourn the hopes of childhood dear
With bitter tears.
Aye; I must linger here,
A lonely branch upon a withered tree,
Whose last trail leaf untimely sear
Vent down with thee.
Oft from life’s withered bower.
In still communion with the past, I turn,
And muse on thee, the only dower
In memory’s urn.
Aud when the evening paly
Bows like a mourner on the dim blue wave,
I stay to hear the night wiud’s wail
Around thy grave.
Where is tby spirit flown ?
l%;tr,e shove—thy look is imaged there—
I listen, aud thy gentle tone
fs on the air.
while horn I ores*
mild
Thrilling tones us tenderness,
Bless bless thy child.

Adrsiral Semmcs ;
Dear Sir; I take tho liberty ol address
ing you these few lines to request you to
publish an Appeal to our people'in my be
half, I have been a prisoner without trial
i nee *he 13th of September, 1866, now
over eighteen months. God only knows
what I have suffered during that time, sub'
ject as lam to the rules of a convict pri
son. My health is suffering from long con
finement, and my family are in the most
extreme poverty from my incarceration. I
think that there are some in your eity who
knew me as an officer of our navy, who will
not refuse to assist me in my hour of need.
I sadly need money for legal expenses and
for my family. If I were released to-mor
row I should be adrift without a cent, for
my imprisonment has ruined me both in
health and packet.
1 must beg leave to thank you for the
kitd presents which you were kind enough
to|tund me through the handsyof Mr. 0.,
'cf at that time I was in rags, but now.
God, I am well supplied with cloth
ing and the necessaries of life, through the
ki lness of Col. A. W Foute, of Missis-ip
pijwho has proved himself to be a real
blether and countrymen in my hour of need
—fie has do.ic everything in his power ;
hit. we need money. I am also under nt,
njobligations to General Losing, of Ala
bina, aud others for their kiudness.
it think, eir, that if you will be kim
eiiugb to publish an appeal to our people,
tljit they will be kind enough to hear the
ppyer of oi e who tried to do his duty to
olr lost cause. 1 pray God that they will,

I General Order*, No. ss.
The attention of the Major General Com
manding has been called to the extraordi
nary course of let lieutenant Charles T*
Johnson. 15th Regiment Infantry, which he
deems so important ns to justify comment
in this public manner.
The facts of the case, arc, thnt Lieuten
ant Johnson, differing in opinion with
Judge B. T. Pope of the Circuit Court of
Calhoun county, Alabama, as to the proper
construction of General Orders, Nos. 53
and 55, of 1867—after indicating to Jndge
Pope, his views, and the Judge failing to
comply therewith, proceed to close the
court, arrested the Judge and ascertaining
t at the Clerk of the Court, did not ttgrte
in bis views, although no act was charged
against him, arre-ted him sire. Lfcut*n*»t
Johnson herein committed two grave errors.
In the first place, had the Judge violated
General Orders 63 and 55, there was no
warrantor authority for hia arrest by Lt
Johnson. The power ol closing oourit- and
arresting Judges, is vested alone in the
Commanding General of the Third Milita
ry District and, has not been delegated, by
any orders to any subordinate officer. Oil
the contrary Par. I, General Orders No. 4.
series of 1867, whilst it requires subordi'
nate officers to report all failures of the
civil officers or tribunals to render equal
justice to the people, expressly declares
said civil officers and ttlbtinals are not to
be interferred with in the discharge of their
duties. Lieutenant Johnson should have
confined himself to calling rn Judge Pope
tor explanation and reporting the fact tc
these Headquarters—his assumption of au
thority to arrest, is deserving of the sever
est censure, and is not justified or palliated
by his zeal or conscientious desire to do his
duty, both of which the Commanding Gen
eral is willing to admit.
In the second place. Lieut. Johnson err
ed in judgment, bis construction of Gener
al Orders 53 and 55 not being correct, and
so far as the Commanding General can
judge from the correspondence submitted,
the construction of Judge Pope was tacb as j
object of General Orders no*, on ana t«>, I
was not to declare, as seems to be Li*ut>
Johnson's opinion, that all juries must be in
part composed of colf/red men. and that no
jury was if gal unless colored raou were im
panneiLd. The object and intent of these
orders was simply to remove the distinction
which the laws of the Rtale In this District
made on the ground of color, and to add
lo the qualifications foi jurors required by
the statute, the additional one that ai! ju
rors should be registered voters. It docs
not appear from the papers submitted that
Judge Pope declined obedience to those
orders as thus construed, or that his course
was in conflict therewith. The Command
ing General trusts this public disapproval
of the conduct of Lt. Johnson will have the
effect to render all subordinate officers cau
tions, nnd to refrain from hasty and unau
thorised exercise of » power which is only
vested by law in the highest military officer
in the District.

ive Ceremony.
An impressive Masonic ceremony occur
red in Trinity Church, New Y'ork, on Sun
day last, viz: the baptism of the adopted
daughter of tbc Masonic fraternity. The
origin of this incidcut, according to th’
Sun, is as follows:
"About a ycat since a very respectable
man and wife came f.o this country from
England. Shortly after their arrival, the
husband was taken sick, and, being un
known, fell into great distress, o much io
that, when he died his remains were buried
in the Potter's Field. Shortly after, tin
wife gave birth to a daughter, and h- taol
was ascertained that the unfortunate man
bad been a Freemason; a secret b ■> b and kep 1
entirely t« binise sand wife Ttn body
was at once disinterred, and subsequently
buri.d in Green vood with proper Masonic
honors. Soon after, the mother died, leav
ing the infant, but nice days old, to the
charity of the world. Two lodgvs in HiF
oily, ‘Atnericua’ an- ‘Crescent,’ together
with the Masonic Board of Relief,' took
charge of the child, and placed it in the
hands of a nurse. The Sisters of Alpha
Chapter of the Eastern Star having becu
very recently informed of the above facts,
gome of them determined to visit the child,
and fouud that the nurse had not properly
attended to the duty for which she hi.d been
paid; and they resolved lo remove the child
and to look after its future welfare.

The Future of the Negro
Race.
In one of his recent lectures in
Sew York, Du Chal’.llu, the great
traveler and naturalist, who has
Been more, perhaps, of the interior
of Africa than any other living
i white man. took occasion to give
his views concerning the relations
of the different races of men, Ac-,
cordiDg to his theory, which is the
same that has been advanced in
Great Britain and been maintained
by one o the great British Quar
terly Reviews, there is among ani*
mals. a law of "naiurul selection’"
which operates the disapoearante
of the inferior types and the in
- oorJ, .Icwy-'- rC * L *
jl)u Cliaillu. “i: the extinction of
I the races of men with the exception
joi the progressive Caucasian race.
II not only believe in that cxtinc-.
[ tion, but I see it. Hence the HoN
tentot Bushman, be’ng the slowest
type of The neg.o, will d’sappear
first,”
But he does not accuse the white
race of cruelty and injustice to the
other races. On the contrary, he
soys: ‘1 am amazed when I hear men
averting that the white man ; s the
came of the extinction of the aborv
i (fines, wherever h f tomes in con
tact with them—as it races had on
ly been disappearing of late,’ 'We
see the raceß disappearing one af
ter another ; and, as 1 have said
many times before, f mourn not ;
for in this order of things 1 see a
wise law of Providence— a law by
which the highest man takes the
place of the lowest.’
If. indeed, there exists such a law
of Nature, how certainly will its
operation be hastened by every elc
ment of antagonism that may be
introduced between the white and
black races ! —Charleston News,
