What the Choir Sang: About the New Bonnet. A foolish little maiden bought a foolish little bonnet, With a ribbon and a feather and a little lace upon it, And that the other maidens of the town might know it, She thought she’d go to meeting the next Sunday just to show it. But though the little bonnet was scarcely larger than a dime, The getting of it settled pnjved to be a work of time; So when ’twas fairly tied, all the bells had stopped their ringing, And when she came to meeting, sure enough the folks were singing. So the foolish little maiden stood and waited at the door ; And she shook her ruffles out behind and smoothed them down before. “Hallelujah! hallelujah!” sang the choir above her bead, “Hardly knew you ! hardly knew you !” were the words she thought they said. This made the little maiden feel so very, very cross That she gave her little mouth a twitch, her little head a toss; For she thought the very hymn they sang was all about her bonnet. With the ribbon, and the feather, and the bit of lace upon it. And she would not wait to listen to the sermon or the praayer, But pattered down the silent street and hurried up the stair, Till she’d reached her little bureau, and in a bandbox on it, Ilad bidden, safe from critic’s eye, her foolish little bonnet. Which proves, my little maidens, that each of you will find In every Sabbath service but an echo of your mind ; And that the little head that’s filled with silly airs, Will never get a blessing from sermons or from prayers. The arrangements for the Interna tional Prison Congress are now near ly complete. Seventy representatives haye been appointed by the United States, including twenty commission ers. Several of these are of consid erable eminence, Chief-Justice Chase doubtless occupying the highest po sition. The Congress, which orgin ated with the United States, will con sist partly of officials, delegates ap pointed by the Governments of their respective countries, and partly of representatives of national commit tees. The Government of every continental power in Europe—ex cept Portugal—has appointed com missioners to attend. The British Government, too, do not propose ex actly to appoint commissioners, but they have prepared elaborate prison statistics for the use of the Congress, and have promised General Schenck, who brought the matter before them, that every facility would be afforded the commissioners for visiting the English prisons, and making them selves acquainted with the English penal system. The Western and Atlantic Railroad. —The tirst annual report of the President and Superintendent of the Western & Atlantic Railroad Company has just been issued. It contains a full report of the opera* tions of the Road from the 27th of December, 1870—the date of the lease—to the Ist of January, 1872 covering a period of four days more than a year. During this time the earnings from all sources have aggregated $1,397, 742 60, and the expensive have been $1,678,765.11; or $381,022.51 in excess of the earnings. The President, Gov. Joseph E. Brown, in his report says, when the lessees took charge of the Road it was in the worst possible condition it could be to be in operation at all. The engines, cars, rails and tanks all gave evidence of hard usage. The track was in a wretched and unsafe condition, and the rolling-stock to tally inadequate to the business of the Road. During the year the company have laid down about twenty-six miles of new iron, and have purchased 7 new engines, 215 new box cars and 12 new coal cars, and made extensive repairs on the old ones. About 40 miles of new iron will have to belaid during the present year. But this is above the average of annual repairs that will bo necessary to keep the road up. The President estimates that, in addition to the regular outlay for iron, the company will, each year, have to pay for engines, and 125 cars of all descriptions. To this will be added the expense of keeping up 26 bridges, aggregating a length of 5,550 feet—all more or less decayed. — At. Sun. General Kirby Smith is sojourning iu Macon. Lawrenceville, Ga., Wednesday, July. 24, 1872. Speech of ex-Senator .J. It. l>oolittlc, Permanent Chair man of the Baltimore Con tion. Senator Bayard and Gov. llofF man conducted liim to the chair. He was received with great applause. He aaid: “Gentlemen of the Convention : I thank you for this great honor; words can baldly tell how much, but you will allow me to pass at once from what is personal to speak of the great occasion, the duty and the pur pose which brings us here. Two years ago, nearly five years, after the bloody period of the civil war had closed the Liberal Republicans of Missouri [applause] feeling keenly all the evils of the proscriptive test oath, the hates and the strifes and the pas sions of the war had left upon them long after the war itself had ceased, and feeling keenly the Executive Federal power in their local elections, determined to organize a movement to restore equal rights to all our citi zens, [applause,] to restore local self government, and to arrest the further centralization of Fedeial power; [applause] they then said this thing has gone far enough, if not already too tar. The time has come when all honest and patriotic Republicans i must sav halt,and re assert the vital doctrine of Republican government ; that under the Constitution the pow ers of the Federal government are defined and limited, [applause and cries of good]; and that the people of the States have the right to gov ern themselves in their own domestic affairs upon the basis of the equality of all the States before the higher law, before the Constitution and the equality of ail men before the law. [Applause.] Of universal loyalty, amnesty, suffrage, and peace, taking uo steps backward ; taking no rights and franchise which had been secured to the blacks; pledging themselves to support them all, in their full vigor; they, at the same time demanded, in the name of peace* in the name of liberty, in the name of the Republican Government itself, that freedom and equal rights should be restored to the white people. — [Great applause.] “They organized nearly forty thou sand strong and called upon li. Gratz Brown [applause] to lead the move ment. They placed him in nomina tion for Governor. Then what fol | lowed? Eighty thousand Democrats | arid Republicans [cheers] looking ' upon the success ot that movement as above any party triumphs [pro longed cheers] resolved to sustain it with their whole strength. Love of country, love of republican liberty, love of the equal rights of all men, inspired that union and taught men to act together who had been politi cally opposed to each other all their lives upon other questions and in other times, and without violating honor, logic, conscience or consisten cy on either side. This patriotic union was based on higher grounds than ordinarily control political ac tion. [Greatapplause.] Even those who fought against each other in battle clasped hands over the bloody chasm [renewed applause] and side by side, like brotheis, with heartß in unison beating strong with the same high purpose, they helped to bear its flag to a glorious victory. That, gentlemen, is Liberal Republicanism [enthusiasm], and that is Democratic- Republicanism. (Great enthusiasm.) The victory which came from that union was the end of proscription, test oaths, of pain and strife, and of all disloyalty, in a word the real end of the civill war came with that victory, and did not come until then in Mis souri. (Intense applause.) It re- I deemed the State—it gave the right ! of freemen to 10,000 men who had been bound and fettered. Missouri is now a free State in this Union with all her rights and dighity and equal ity under the Constitution, and not one murmer of disloyalty is anywhere heard. By that Union Federal die tation in Missouri, iu their local elec tions, was overthrown, and by that union stiife and hate have given place to peace aud good will. By that union, liberty with equal rights for all, have given to the State unbound ed prosperity, and to her people a joy almost unspeakable. So great was their joy, and so complete their success, the Liberal Republicans of that Siato were not content without making an effort to extend the same union of Liberal and Democratic Republicans, and with it the same Messing of liberty, peace and frater nity to all the other Stales. (Rounds of applause.) Accordingly, in the State convention on the 25th of : March last they resolved to invite the Liberal Republicans in all the States to meet them iu National Convention iu Cincinnati on the Ist of Wav. — “COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!” That invitation was accepted. There was indeed a great response ; they I came by thousands, in such vast 1 numbers that a delegated convention of reptesentatives of all the Stales was formed, both from principle and from necessity, to give form to its proceedings. Many of the ablest inen of the country, lately leaders in the Republican party, wore there and took part in its deliberations. They were assured that large numbers of Liberal Republicans in every State and from all portions of the country stood ready to su-tain them and they were morally certain that if the three million whom we this day represent (cheers) would only come to their support, then the number of Liberal Republicans would reach half a mill ion more. (Great cheers) That convention presented a platform, and presented candidates to the country, for President, Horace Greeley, (long and continued cheering.) and for Vice President, B. Gratz Brown, (more cheers,) and the convention, for the promotion and success of the princi ples declared in that platform, there enunciated and the support of the candidates nominated by that Con vention have invited and cordially welcomed the co-operation of all pa triotic citizens without regard to pre vious political affiliation. These prin ciples were so dearly and concisely stated in the platform itself, and re stated in tire letter of acceptance of Mr.-Greeley, (more cheering.) and tlrev are so well known to you all that 1 will not restate them. For weeks that platform and these candi dates have been before the country. Meanwhile the Convention called to nominate Grant, (hisses) and to in dorse and to continue the principles, practices and policy pf his adminis tration has done its work ; | hisses] as between tire Libera! Republicans and tire followers of the Grant ad ministration the issue is clearly made up; it is Grant or Greeley. [lm mense enthusiasm, arid cries of Gree ley ! Greeley!!] While these events were passing the Democratic-Repub licans whom we represent, held their conventions in all the States. The Liberal Republican movement, the example of Missouri, the Cincinnati Convention, its platform aud its can didates, with their letters of accept ance, were all before these conven tious, which were very largely attend ed by their ablest men, and the para mount questions before these conven tions were, shall we accept this invi tation to co-operate with the Liberal Republicans? (Great applause.) Shall we adopt their platform. (Loud cries of yes, yes, and some cries of never;) shall we nominate ilie same candidates? (Yes, yes.) And shall wc elect them ? (Yes, yes, yes, and loud cheering;) or shall we refuse to co-opeiale? (No, no.) Nominate other candidates (No, no, Greeley, Greeley,) and strive to elect them over both tickets already in the field. Gentlemen, these are the questions which you are to decide now and here—that you will decide them wisely 1 cannot doubt, uor can any one doubt who looks over this body of men, representing as they do three millions' of citizer s, and who feel, as every one must feel, the high and patriotic purposes which inspire you. Gentlemen, what means this great and rising movement which we every where see ! What means this pro posed union of three millions of Democratic Republicans with a mill ion, it may be, of Liberal Republi cans ? What means this union upon a common platform, and this pro posed union upon the same candi dates, a union so sudden, so compact, j so earnest as to surprise its friends I and to confound its enemies (ap- j plause) which comes as the winds i come—to borrow a figure over whelms the ordinary currents of pub j lie opinion as the great storms always I run counter to the surface currents, i What means all this ? '1 here are ; some things, gentlemen, it does not 1 mean. It means no abandonment of what is true, of what is just, of what is good in human government. (Applause.) It means no union of the dead upon dead issues, but a union of the living upon the l.ving issues of the present. (Applause) It means no union for the spoils of ofiice. (liounds of applause.) But it means a union of men with the same feelings upon the great and paramount issues of the present hour, a frank, manly, honorable and equal uuion of men who have the sagacity to see, the moral courago to accept the situation. (Good, good, loud j cheers ) It means a union ot men who have the sagacity to see what is j past and to deal with the issue of the i present, and for the future to do j their duty to their country, their ; | God and their fellow men. (Ap- j plause.) '1 ho issue ot to day is not the repeal of the Missouri com promise nor the question of sla very in the territories upon which alone the Republican party was or ganized in 1850. It is not upon that which followed when the Lecompton Constitution for Kansas divided the Democratic party in twain and elect ed Lincoln to the Presidency in 1800. It is not tho question of secession, nor of a war to put down the rebel lion, nor the abolition of slavery in the States by military order or con stitutional amendment, upon which Mr. Lincoln was re elected in 1864. Nor yet is it the question of recon Htiuction, or of the 14th or of the 15th amendment, nor the question ot negro suffrage, nor of the establish meat by Federal power of universal negro suffrage as a condition piece dent to the States of the South hav ing any rights or any existence, even as States, in the Union. It is not of these questions that is now in itsuc. All these have been iussues in the past, great issues, sufficient in them selves to create and dissolve political parties, because ideas are stronger than men or parties. But they are all past issues. They have been fought out and fought to tho end in the forum, or in the field, and they are no more in issue to-day than the Mexican war or the war of tho rebel lion. (Applause) W@ could not re-open them if we would, and they falsely misrepresent our purposes who say that we would re-open them if we could. (Loud cheering.) This great union, therefore, moans no steps backward (cheers,) forward is the word (loud cheers,) and first of all it means to-day for all the other States of the South what it lias al ready done in Missouri. (Cheers) Instead of proscription, test oaths) suspension of the habeas corpus and military despotism, it means personal freedom for tho individual and Re publican Government for all. (Loud applause.) Instead of negro suffrage upheld by proscription and the bayo net, it means equal rights to all men, white as well as black. (L<jud ap plause.) Instead of a thieving Gov ernment organized to plunder subju gated States, it means the dominion once more of intelligence and integ rity ; it means justice, liberty, peace, loyalty and good \\i 11• And, gentle* mon, lor our whole country, East, West, North and South, it means, instead of a war l’resideut, trained only in a military school, and whose whole career lias been formed in the ideas, arts, habits, and despotism of military life, instead of this it means the election of a peace IhesiJent, (cheers,) trained in the ideas, arts, blessings and Republican simplicity of peace and universal freedom (loud cheers,) of liberty, not under arrest awaiting trial, sentence and execution o ' t by a drumhead court martial, but the liberty and peace which the Consti tution secures by placing the civil law above the sword. (Loud ap plause.) By preserving in full vigor the writ of habeas corpus and by the right of trial by jury. (Applause.) It means another thing, and perhaps the most important of them all, the means to arrest the centralization of power in the Federal Government. (Loud cheers.) It means to assert the vital principles of our Republi can system, and in which it moves and has its very being—t.'iat consli* unions are made by the people in their sovereign capacity for the ex press purpose of defining and limiting thepow e' of government —(aplause) —p- mmmmai all governments, State or - It means that we are determined that Presidents and Gov ernors, Congresses and State Legis latures, and every department of the government shall obey tbe Constitu tion.” (Prolonged applause.) Mr. Doolittle concluded : “Gentlemen : I have thus briefly stated the situation, duties and pur poses which bring us here. A great responsibility rests upon this conven tion. If its action shall be such, 1 doubt not it will be such as to put an end to this misrule, which for the past few years has afflicted our beloved country. This generaloin and gen* eratious to come after us, will remem ber with pride and gratification the Convention at Baltimore of the 9th of July, (Loud and long con tinued applause.) Mr. Doolittle took his seat. Mr*. Mary Chase Barney, daughter of the late Judge Samuel Chase', of Maryland, one ot the signers of the Declaration of American Independ ence, died in Washington yesterday, in her eighty-eigth yiar. She was the widow of a son of Commodore Barney. It was rocently ascertained that Mrs. Barney and one other lady wero the only surviving daughters of any of the a'gners of the Declaration. [s2 A YEAR.

New llaven, Ct., June 6. From the Washington Capital. An Extraordinary Story of l.ove, Secret Marriage, Be trayal, Desertion, Divorce mill Revenge-- A Bombshell for Washington Society. Some six years since a young law student in this city fell in love with and courted a beautiful girl, who raturned his passion and the two be came engaged to be married. The young gentleman was poor, however, and uot yet admitted to his proses sion, so that marying for the time seemed out of the question, lie madly iu loic, however, and fearing that before lie could secure a sufli cient competence to justify marrying lie might lose the object of bis affec tions, be pleaded with her to have a secret marriage, and promised that immediately after the ceremony she should return to her home, and he would, as usual, go to his bachelor quarters. After much persuasion she consented, and the two were united in wedlock at the Church of St. John, in Georgetown, by the Rev. Mr. Tillinghast, upon the of June, 1860. The young man for a while was true to his promise, but he soon be came as importunate for the posses sion of her person as ho had been for the secret marriage. Of course she yielded, but they both kept their se cret, and as progress in the law was very slow, she, at his suggestion, brought an influence to bear upon the Administration that resulted in an appointment to a western Territo ry. Her social position and connec tions were sufficient to control the appointment, and she had money enough to provide him with an outfit. Tho young man departed, an 1 made quite a successful career for himself in his new field of operations, and, writing regularly and returning at intervals, lie assured her of his heartfelt affectiou and earnest endeav ors to procure a home suited to her This sort of tiling continued for four years, when she was telegrapheJ to meet him at Cincinnati. She hast ened to obey, and arriving at the last named place, found het husband in a state of great excitement. He told her that he had got involved in some moneyed transactions, and the choice was presented to him of either marrying a very rich woman, who loved him to distraction, or being sentenced to the penitentiary, and that he was married and was now in her power. She could punish him for his dastardly conduct, and if she did that he could uot complain ; he added, however, that he had parted from the woman at the door of the church, that he did not love her, and could uot love any one but Iris lawful wife. Appealed to in this manner she could only ask him what could be done, saying that »he was ready and willing to shield him to the last. He then suggested a divorce, and said that he could go to New York and procure one without any difficulty. To this she consented, and the two wended their way to the great com mercial centre, where he found a di vorce lawyer, and in three days a divorce was procured upon testimony manufactured between the husband and the shyster, of the most extraor dinary character. One man, for ex ample, by the name of , swore that he had known the plaintiff and her husband for years in Dowings ville, Pa , a place the poor woman had uevor been.

Upon this showing tho divorce was granted, and the de cree winds up as follows : That the marriage between the said plaintiff, , and the said de fendant, , be dissolved, ami their said marriage is hereby dissolved ac cotdingly. And the said parties are and each of them is free from the oh ligations thereof.

E: ter, S. Jones. Judge. 'lhe poor wile returned to her home fee ing that she had done a heroic net in shielding the man she loved, and sustaining herself with this thought rolled on, until one morning she awakened to the fact that she had been cruelly sacrificed. She learned that the man to whom she had clung was about to man v a fadiioiiahle lady of the first connec tion in the land. She made inquiry, and found, to her sickening disgust, that the day was actually set upon which this infamous outrage was to bo perpetrated. She hastened to Now York and procured a ceitificate copy of the decree, intending to ap pear at the church on the day of the mock marriage and forbid the banns by presenting a copy of the legal documents that showed that,although separated front her, he was not au thorized to marry another. Unfortunately,through circumstan ces over which she had no control, she anired too late. The cruel act had been accomplished. A grand wedding, graced by the presence of members of the Cabinet and our most aristocratic people, had occur red, and the papers were full of glow ing accounts of the magnificent cere mony. Our readers will recollect the event, and they will have occa sion to recur to it again, as legal steps are being taken by the betrayed wife’s friends to* bring this doer to punishment. The wile is now satis fied that the whole story of the sec ond marriage was fabricated to de ceive her, and she is, of (.ot.ro* , very indignant. In addition to all this we learn that this gay Lothario paid his court last winter (o one of our most beau tiful and accomplished belles, whose appearance in society always created a flutter among the gentlemen who flocked to her side to bask in the sunshine of tier smiles and to enjoy tho brilliancy other conversation. It was supposed that the gentleman, as he then appeared to be, and this fas cinating lady, whose family is one of the oldest and most exclusive in the country, were engaged ; but it seems that while she enjoyed his conversa tional powers, she discouiaged any tender emotions, and thus saved her self from occuping the unpleasant position which the last mentioned bride now holds. In a few days the fashionable cir cles of Washington and a certain lady of the Cabinet will be at sea iu a high slate of astonishment and ex citement, and a ceitsin territorial official, now candidate for Governor, will be brought up with a round turn. How is this for I’ooii ?—An exchange is responsible for the fol lowing: "There is a place in Gran ville, North Carolina, said to be so rocky that when a certain farmer goes to plant corn he looks for crev ices iu the rocks, and shoots the grains iu with amu-ket; he can’t raise ducks there nohow, for tho stones are so thick that tlio ducks can't get their bills between them to pick up the grasshoppers, aud the ouly way that sheep can get at the sprigs of grass is by grinding their nose on a grindstone. The most in dustrious man iu the country works this farm. But that isn’t a circum stance to a farm above Oxford, which is so poor that on a clear day you can see the grasshoppers climb up a inallen stalk, and the bumble bees have to gl» down on thoir knees to get at the grass; all the mosquitoes died of starvation, and the turkey buzzards had to emigrate. This tract of land is familllarly known, in the police! world, bv the D ime of ‘Kildee’ land." ’
