The Bridge of Sigh*.
BY THOMAS HOOD.
In compliance with a request from a fair
subscriber to the Chronicle <tt Sentinel, we
republish this beautiful poem, feeling as
sured that it will be generally acceptable:
One more unfortunate
Weary of breath—
Rashly, importunate
(lone to her death.
Take her up tenderly,
_ Lift her with care,
Fashioned ao slenderly,
Young and so fair.
„ Look at her garments,
' Clinging like cerements,
Whilst the waves constantly
Drip from her clothing;
Take her up instantly.
Loving not loathing.
Touch her not scornfully.
Think ofher mournfully,
Gentle and humanly;
Naught of the stains of her
All that remains of her
Now, is pure womanly.
Make no deep scrutiny,
Into her mutiny
itash and undutiful.
I’ast all dishonor,
Death has only left on her
Only the beautiful.
StIU for all sKps of her’s,
One of Eve’s family,
Wipe those poor lips of her’s
Oozing so clammily.
Hind up her tresses
Escaped from the comb,
Her fair auburn tresses,
Whilst wonderment guesses
Where was her home ?
Where washer father,
Where was her mother ?
Had she a sister,
Had she a brother ?
Or was there a nearer oue
Still, and a dearer one
Yet thau all other.
Alas for the rarity
Os Christian charity
Under tLo sun!
Oh, it was pitiful
Near a whole city full,
Home she had none.
Fatherly, motherly,
Sisterly, brotherly
Feelings had changed;
Love by harsh evidence
Thrown from its eminence,
Even God’s providence
Seeming estranged.
Whore the lamps quiver
So far in the river
With many a light,
From window and casement*
From garret to basement—
She stood in amazement
Houseless by night.
The bleak winds of March
Made her shudder and shiver;
lint nor the dark arch
Or the black flowing river,
Mad from Life’s history
Glad to Death’s mystery
Swift to be hurled
Anywhere, anywhere
Out of the world.
In she plunged boldly,
No matter how coldly
The rough river ran;
lecture it, think of it,
Dissolute man;
Lave in it, drink of it
Then If you can.
Take her up tenderly,
Lift her with care,
Fashioned so slenderly,
Young and so fair.
Ere her limbs frigidly
Stiffen too rigidly,
Decently, kindly
Smooth and composo them
And her eyes close them,
Staring so blindly.
Dreadfully staring
Through muddy impurity
As whetqwHli the daring
Last look of despairing
Fixed on futurity.
Perishing gloomily,
Spurned uy ooutumoly,
Cold inhumanity,
Burning insanity,
Into her rest.
Gross her hands humbly
As if praying dumbly,
(Ivor her breast.
Owning her weakness,
Her evil behavior,
And leaving with meekness
Her sins to her Saviour.
From the Mobile Time*.
Grandma’s Delight.
BY A. .1. KEQUIEH.
Deep brown eyes and locks of gold,
Scarcely turn’d of live years old
Sharply, trim and cosy,
Half a girl and half a boy.
Dear, bewitching hobble--de-hoy
brimful of a breathless joy,
Is—our little Rosie!
Cornea aud goes, you know not whence,
Under hedge and over fence,
With some baby crony;
Now, about a doll is crazed,
With her sprightly eyes upraised.
Then—delighted and amazed
At a Shetland pony !
Changeful as tlio sunset dyes
Os her own deep Southern skies,
Or a fountain shilling
Where the Persic palms are bow'd
Over garden spice-endow'd,
Or the poet's magic cloud
With a “silver lining."
Romping, roguish, tiny elf!
Olimuiiig'up tint kitchen *tiolf,
Or among the rosea,
Tugging at grandmother's sleeve,
Grave as if a child oould grieve,
When the star belov’d of Eve
On lior breast reposes.
Who shall tell the turns that wait
On tlio undeveloped late
Os tlie winsome stranger,
When tlie germ shall be a ffowor,
Ripen’d by the sun and shower,
And tlio bridal-wreath liavo power
Through its hud, to change her ?
When the lamp of snowy* tlanie
Burns its essence to a name
Sacred beyond measure;
And the glittering starry cope,
With creation’s wider scope,
And the very* realms of Hope
Hold—a single treasure I
Ah! brown eyes and locks of gold
Toll not what cannot be told,
Aud tlio hard is prosy*
Who would look for hidden things,
When the breath is on his strings,
And thy smile upon his wings,
Blessed little Rosie!

A Memory.
BY MOINA.
On© bright memory alnnes like a star
In the sky of my spirit forever;
Aud over my pathway it flashes afar
A radiance that perishes never.
One bright memory—only one;
Aud I walk by the light of its gleaming;
It brightens my days—«nd whgn days an* done
It shines iu the Night o’er my dreaming.
One bright memory—whose golden rays
Illumine tlie glmua of my sorrows,
And I know that its lustre will gladden my gaio
In the shadows of all my to-morrows.
Oue bright memory—when I am sad
1 lilt up eyea to its shining.
And the clouds pass away; anil my spirit grows glad:
And my heart hushes all its repining.
One bright memory —all have paused
Itack into the shadows forever;
llut it. far and fair, bright and true to the last,
Sheds a light that will pass away never,
Shine on—shine always—-Thou star of my days.
And when Death's starless Night gathers o’er me,
Beam brighter than ever adown on my gaze.
And light the dark valley before mo.

Hope and Memory.
I am thinking to-day—how oft I think !
Os a Land that has failed from mortal eyes—
A Land, where I stood by the river’s brink.
That washes the gates of Paradise!
Ah! washes the gates that never ope,
Though forever trembling on golden hinges;
While mystical lights to the river slops,
Aud the blue Champak ita margin fringes!
here I watched the day, with footsteps fleet,
°otne down, like the Lydian King of old.
And saw at the touch of his kingly feet,
• How the rolling sands were turned to gold.
But now—the Lydian King has fled—
No more by the gates of Paradise*.
But by red and foaming waves I tread,
Aud watch the blood of Neasus risk*.
The hand has sunk ’neath the sobbing flood,
As darkly the billows onward roll;
But ah! it has left me the garment of blood,
That wraps in fire my shrinking soul.
1 strive to tear it with ijuivering hanAp
That art* powerless now to my will.
While Pain, th* Immortal, forever stands
Beside me and mocks—and still, yet still—
*Mid all the torture, how oft I think.
Os a Land, seen only through dreaming eyes—
LAnd. where I stood by the river’s brink,
.That the gates of Paradise;
And I see the day. with footsteps fleet,
emoe down, like the Lydian King of old;

Editors Chronicle it Sentinel:
'The Provision market during the past
week has lagged, and while holders have
been indifferent about selling at the de
cline asked by buyers, the latter have
bought sparingly, but withtheexception of
small holders, there seems to be a disposi
tion to hold back, in hopes of an improve
ment in prices generally next month. The
small demand that exists now is entirely
consumptive, speculation having played
out for the present. The market closes
quiet but with more iuquiry at any reduc
tion in figures than the asking rates.

Torqucniada Meade.

in the pleasant and profitable employment
of playing lacquey to Useless Silent Grant.

Senator Doolittle.
It is denied, upon the authority of Mr.
Doolittle, that he was at the late Philadel
phia Chase meeting or took part in its
proceedings.
Mr. D. does not consider himself at

either of the candidates whose names have
been mentioned, occupying, as he does,
the position of Chairman of the Executive
( qmmittee of the Congressional Dem
ocratic and Conservative Club.
The Supreme Court— Cliencelly vs. Bally
A Cleveland.
If there is any question which has. been
definitely settled and fixed, it is, that the
Confederate States Government was, dar
ing the iate war, a Government de facto,
and as such controlled, governed, and
regulated the conduct of the people who
were resident within her lorders. Each
of the three branches of the Federal Gov
ernment, at different times and on divers
occasions, recognized the Confederate
States as a de facto Government, and
treated with it as such.
The Supreme Court of the United States
—the highest tribunal known to the laws —
affismod and authoritatively settled this
point, in its decision in the prize cases as
early as 1862. The President of the
United States, by his proclamations, and by
his orders in regard to the exchange of
prisoners, recognized us as a de facto Gov
ernment ; and Congress, in various acts of
its legislation, broadly and fully admitted
our claims as such a Government.
If the Confederate States were a
Government in fact, and as such had a
right to exercise and did exercise the pow
ers incident to such Government, the citi
| sens of that Government were bound to obey
its laws.
One of the Laws of the Confederate
Government, passed for the very purpose
of firmly establishing its power, was that
which required of all residents within her
borders military service in tne armies of j
the Government. These armies were
necessary for the protection of the citizen
and all the people who received that pro
tection were bound to perform such duties
as the Government required.
If, then, military service was a duty to
Government which all its citizens were
bound to perform the citizen in per
forming this duty did not commit treason
against the Federal Government. This
service was not illegal as applied to the
citizen aDd by no known Code of Laws
can ke be held personally liable for such
acts. These propositions, it seqms to us,
are too plain to admit of argument.
There is a tribunal in this State .known
in the laws as the Supreme Court, estab
lished for the correction of' errors commit
ted in the Inferior Courts, and, by courtesy.
now called by the name given to it by the
statute. This tribunal, in a case recently
before it, has made a decision which is not
only in open violation of the principles
which we have just stated, but which is
shocking to the moral sense of mankind,
and if carried out to the fullest extent, in
volves a total disruption of our sucial con
dition, overturns legal decisions, unset
tles the rights ol property, places the stain
of'illegitimacy upon thousands of children,
subjects thousands of our people to the
chargeof adultery, tears open afresh the set
tlement of hundreds of estates, and, in a
word, leaves the State in a condition of
•social, legal and political chaos.
We do not over-estimate the fearful im
portance of the decision in the case of
Chencelly vs. Baily aud Cieaveland, decided
last week, in which they held (Judge Har
ris dissenting), that “a note given during
the war, the consideration for which was
services to be rendered as a substitute as
a soldier in the Confederate army to tight
and bear arms against the Government of
the United States was illegal and void.”
This decision is based upon the ground
that such act was treasonable, and that the
soldier who took up arms in obedience to
the commands of the Confederate Govern
ment was not protected by such command
for acts committed against the United
States Government. This view can only
be sustained by the theory that there was
no such government in the South as had a
right to demand the service of an armed
soldiery. In other words, that the Con
federate States were not a de facto govern
ment, but simply an unlawful combination
of individuals to subvert and destroy the
Government of the United States.
By this decision the Supreme Court have
given their sanction to the position held
by Wade, Stevens, Sumner, Phillips and
their extreme Radical adherents, that every
man in the South who engaged in, or
sympathized with the South in the late
war, are traitors and subject to the penal
ties imposed by law upon thfe crime of
treason. The great principles upon whieh
our government is founded are ignored
and denied by the Court. The great truth,
so forcibly and yet so beautifully and plain
ly established by Mr. Stephens in the open
ing chapter of his valuable history of the
war, that allegiance is due, not to govern
ment, but to the supreme or sovereign
power of the State, seems to be wholly
overlooked or unappreciated. The position
of Mr. Stephens is the true constitutional
! theory. It underlies the whole fabric of
State rights and is the foundation upon
] which Mr. Jefferson elaborated the famous
j Kentucky Resolutions of ’9B and Mr.
| Madison those of the Virginia legislature
j in ’99.
These are not mere abstractions. They
are vital in their character and scope and
| essential to the perpetuity of our form of
free Government. To deny or ignore them
j leads to consolidation, and finally to the
| despotism of an unbridled majority—the
i most agressive and tyrannical form of gov
: ernment which has ever been known to
exist. We are at no loss to account for
this decision. It cannot be claimed that it
was made through ignorance. Nor do we
believe that the people of Georgia will ev
| er be brought to the opinion that it was
made in the honest and conscientious dis
charge of official obligations. It has the
clear and unmistakable ring of political
j predjudice and party hate.
The Radical negro and Scalawag party,
- through gross frauds and perjuries, have
now or will.soon have the control of the
State Government. The negro-loving Bul
lock as Governor, has the power of ap
pointing ail the Judges of the State Courts.
His treachery to the Confederate Govern
ment has never been denied. His animos- j
ity to the Southern whites and his abject
subserviency to Radical behests are well
known. The anxiety of Stevens, Butler, i
Brown & Cos., to disgrace and degrade the j
Southern people has been long apparent.
A decision of the highest tribunal known
to our laws, whieh fixes the stain of trea
son upon the white people of Georgia, is a
service whieh must and will be recognized
by the Radical leaders. Verily the laborer
is worthy of his hire.
Kemuval of Mr. McCulloch.
It has been a matter of surprise to the
friends of Mr. Johnson that he has not,
long ago, sought to get rid of Mr. McCul
loch from the Treasury Department. It
is known throughout the entire country
that Mr. McCulloch is thoroughly identi
fied with the extreme wing of the Radical
party, and that he has, on more than one
occasion, used his office for the purpose of
aiding the Radicals in their revolutionary
designs. It is a matter of common notori
ty that, in order to save the impeachment
from the terrible effects which an advance
in Ow price of gold would have upon the
country growing out of that action, he
threw large amounts of Government coin
iu the market, and kept vast sums con- j
stantly for sale to arrest the tendency to a
rise in its price.
He has filled the Department, in all its
offices, with incompetent and oorrupt men, 1
and has failed to collect the revenue whieh *
ought to have been poured into the Treas- |
mry from the different sources of taxation.
In concluding a large article on this sub
ject the National Intelligencer, supposed
to he the organ of Mr. Johnson, speaks as
follows:
“The retentionof suehan official,incom
petent as well by the record as by his own
conlessions, with such a career as we
have thus hinted at rather than detailed,
cannot be justified or defended by anyone.
The President owes it to the country to
l remove him forthwith, if he will not re
! sign. To delay action is to defy the public
■ judgment. Mr. McCulloch’s heart, we
I believe, neyer for a moment was with the
j great Conservative movement of the land.
| acts, his principles, his sympathies,
i His associations all locate him with the
corrapt and profligate band from whom
we are soon to have a deliverance. A
part of this evil—and no small part of it—-
we inay get rid of at once, if the President
so wills it. He is not now powerless to
respond to the demands of public senti
ment If he retains this official, he will
have him for the future, and the responsi
bility lor the condition of affairs will be
long to two men instead of one. We be
lieve the President will do his duty. If he
does not, so much the worse for him. At
all events, in the name of the great Con
servative masses of the land now rising in
their might to accomplish a great political
•regeneration, we protest that Mr. McCul
loeh’s retention, both in the past and
henceforth, they are in no wise responsi
ble. This load does not fairly belong to
them, and they will not shoulder it iu the
great struggle before them. If the Presi
dent is patient enough to endure the bur
den, he may have the pleasure all to him
self.”
Emigration from the South. —In the
New York Journal of Commerce of the
13th instant, appears a letter dated from
the steamship Guiding Star, Caribbean
Sea, May 29th, 1868, from which we
make the following extract:
“On the decks below throng 600 passen
gers, some of them business men residing
in San Francisco or other parts of the
Pacitic slope, but they are all mostly emi
grants from the Southern States, seeking a
land where they may be permitted to ob
tain a subsistence. The accounts given by
these men of the condition of the South
are truly deplorable. They speak for near
ly all sections, but the most numerous rep
resentatives are from Alabama, Louis
iana and Mississippi, embracing the large
alluvial districts where negro labor is
almost the sole dependence. lam struck
with the remarkable large proportion who
are educated men, graduates of our literary
institutions, or who formerly were inllu
ential in mercantile life, like Dr. 8.. of
Mobile, a few years ago the possessor of a
large capital, but now a fugitive. All
alike abandon their homes in absolute
despair, and express a belief that were it
possible to command means adequate to
effect a removal, emigration would com
mence on an extensive scale. Their last
hope yields to a conviction that the negro
will hot work, added to which 3s the pros
pect that in several States negro majorities
will soon have everything their own way.
California; in the estimation of largo num
bers of Southern men, is now the land of
i promise, and there appears no reason to
| doubt that low fares across the isthmus of
; Panama or the completion of the Pacific
Railroad would give to this movement of
population a powerful stimulus.”
This is a sad picture. It is deplorable to
think of our people being driven from
their homes bv the infernal legislation of a
Radical Congress. But having borne with
and suffered this condition of affairs so
long, they should summon up fortitude
enough to struggle on a little longer. Eve
ry day is bringing us nearer to our deliver
ance. A year hence this question will
be solved in the interest of the
South, and the Southern people will be
rid, in a great measure, of the evils which
have so grievously oppressed them. The
success of the Democratic party in the
coming Presidential election will bury for
many a year the questions which now dis
tract us, and the authors and abettors of
the injustice and oppression which has
been inflicted on the South, will leave for
more congenial climes. It is, therefore,
criminal on the part of our people to leave
the South at this particular juncture when
the future looks so promising. Property
of every discription must be sacrificed if
sold now. There are none,we take it, who
want to go away and leave their property
behind with tlio hope of returning, should
the South regain her Constitutional rights.
Therefore the people of the South should
stand firmly together, and help to defeat
this Radical conspiracy, whieh is fall
ing to pieces from its own inherent rot
tenness.
Southern Presbyterian Churches.
---At the late session of the Old School
Presbyterian General Assembly, held at
Albany, the following preamble and reso
lutions in relation to the Synods that
separated from said Assembly during the
war, and whieh formed the Southern
General Assembly, convened in Dr. Bul
lock’s Church in Baltimore, were adopted:
Whereas, The Synods of Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, Memphis, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas
and Virginia, with the several Presbyte
ries under their care, have, with the ex
ception of the Presbytery of New Orleans,
in the Synod of Mississippi, voluntarily
withdrawn from our connection and or
ganized themselves into a separate church:
therefore
Resolved, That the Permanent Clerk is
directed to drop their names from the list
ofourSyuods and Presbyteries, anti they
are no longer to be regardetl as a part of
the Presbyterian Church under the care of
this Assembly, with the exception of the
Presbytery of New Orleans, which is
hereby attached to the Synod of Nashville.
Resolved, That the Assembly does here
by recognize the organization into which
these Synods have formed themselves as
a separate and independent church, sus
taining to us the same relation which we
accord to other branches of the Presby
terian Church, and hereafter it is to be
treated accordingly by all the courts under
our care.
Resolved, That the Assembly also takes
this occasion to say that while it cannot
justify these brethren in separating them
selves from the church of their lathers, it
regrets their withdrawal, and expresses
the earnest hope that they may see their
way clear to return to their former rela
tions. ’
FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Chronicle <fc Sentinel.
Washington, June 14.—The Nation’s
Capital, under the express rule of Con
gress, is just as liable to the municipal
troubles which are found in various South
ern cities, as they are when subject to mili
tary will under the instructions of Con
gress. Washington City is now blessed (?)
I with two mayors, two set of city aldermen
| and two boards of common council. The
i bogus mayor is also the city postmaster,
; and one of the most intense Radicals in
| the land. His commission as postmaster
i has expired, but for some unaccountable
j reason President Johnson is indifferent, or
1 seemingly so, to the petitions of the citi
zens of Washington to have a successor
named for that position, and allows him to
remain there, although he occupies, at the
! same time, half a dozen other offices
I besides. His election as Mayor of this ciry
has yet to be tested as to its legality ; but
he is in possession of the office and has
! locked the doors of the Chamber of Alder
i men and Council —had a police guard
’ placed at the doors of the City. Hall, and
violated law, precedent and honor all at
i the same time. Congress has come to the
rescue of the Radicals in this municipal
i difficulty, and while there is hope that
the courts before whom the matter of who
; is Mayor and what party has a majority
;in the City Councils shall come to be test
-1 ed, yet there is a general belief, that as so
much special legislation has been enacted
in behalf of Radicalism and its violations
of law, there is every danger of the proper
I representatives of the people of Washing
ton being defrauded of their just privi
leges. This has always been regarded
by Congress as a Southern city, and, con
sequently, must be dealt with as the Radi
cals have determined all other Southern
localities to be treated. That is, put en
tirely into the control of Radicals.
Excitement is beginning to run high
upon the subject of the Democratic nomi
nation at New York. The Radicals pro
fess, in their newspapers and public meet
ings, to be indifferent as to what is accom
plished there by their Conservative oppo
nents, but it is easy to see that their lead
ing men, who are here, are very anxious
on the subject, and would be glad to know
what is in the wind. It is, as yet, difficult
to speculate with any degree of certainty
as to who will receive the nomination, but
one thing is positive and sure : The Radii
cals here fear the nomination of Chase—
or rather the effect of his nomination— ]
above that of all others, and next to that !
they would tremble to hear of the eleva- j
tion of Hancock to be standard-bearer of
the political foes in the coming contest, j
The Democrats in Washington say very j
little yet; but some of the leading members
of the party have seen fit to intimate that
there is a probability of someone being
nominated whose name has not, so far, been
prominently mentioned in connection with ;
the nominations. There is everywhere—at :
least among the Democrats of this section i
—a disposition to sink every personal
prejudice for the sake of success, and who
doubts but what it will be done? Among
the names who now reoeive consideration
outside of those particularly prominent are
Dix of New York, Thurman of Ohio, Eng
lish of Connecticut, and Woodward of
Pennsylvania. Reports from New York
state that the feeling in that State in favor '
of the nomination of Chase is becoming ’
daily more aDd more wide-spread, and his
friends there are sanguine of his nomina
tion. The Western Democrats, enthusi
astic and ardent, cling with the tenacity of j
life-long advocates to the nomination of
Pendleton, but there is no earthly doubt
but that they, acting upon the suggestion !
of Mr. Pendleton himself, who, it is under- \
stood, desires no risk—not even the slight
| est—to be encountered in the path of the
consummation of Conservative success in
the coming election, and will give way and
cheerfully acquiesce in the .nomination of
some other distinguished statesman for the
accomplishment of that result.
The letters which have passed between
the Secretary of the Treasury and the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Mr.
Rollins, with regard to the resignation of
the latter, have had the effect of awaken
ing the public to the almost forgotten op
position which the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue has placed in the path of
a restoration of the Union and the prin
ciples of the Constitution. He charges in
the first letter (which no doubt by this
time has been universally read, as it was
i furnished to the press one day during
I the past week) that the President
jis responsible for the bad condition
of Revenue matters. No one knows
better than Roiiins himself that such
is not the fact, and Mr. McCulloch, in
his letter of yesterday, gave him such a
sharp, decisive and flat refutation of his
statements that, unless he is devoid of all
feeling, he will be apt to keep quiet here
after about official corruption. Rollins is
making capital with Congress ; but he is
backed by Chandler, late Assistant Secre
tary of the Treasury, who has kept the
former at the head of the Internal Bureau
so long. Rollins does not intend to resign,
but if he should be removed it is to be
hoped that his deputies will go the same
road, not one of whom is not intense in
his opposition to the principles of Govern
ment which the Radical party has very
nearly entirely subverted.
Representative Logan is disgusted with
the disloyality of the citizens of Washing
ton and wants to remove the Capital. To
morrow he will offer a result with the view
of accomplishing that desirable object.
Whether we are to be transferred, in our
capacity as Government officials, or Wash
ington correspondents to Cairo or in the
W'est or Logansville in the East, we are
not advised of. The ‘‘Honorable John ’
has actively succeeded in frightening some
of the timid owners of property in this
District. What will it be worth when the
Capital is removed ! What will beeome
of the Postoffiee building, and the Treas
ury Department ,and thejfJackson statue,
and the Lincoln monument and all the
public buildings, reservations and mon
uments that belong to the Government
and adorn the metropolis. There is some
anxiety to know who will second Mr.Logan
in his n'ew undertaking. He runs with
Butler pretty generally bat on this subject
perhaps they they will disagree.
Many of the readers of the Chronicle &
Sentinel who have passed their winters in
Washington,know of the prominent jew
elry firm of Galt & Brother of this city,
and no doubt it will be of interest for them
to know that this ancient firm have built
recently, and will open to-morrow
evening, anew establishment on
Pennsylvania Avenue which is one of
one of the finest and most expensive
structures in the United States. The
building is four stories high with a massive
iron front aud, altogether, a specimen of
architecture that does credit alike to the
city and to its owners. The gentlemen
comprising the firm are among the oldest
and best esteemed of the citizens of Wash
ington and it is a pleasure to commend
them to favorable consideration .far and
wide.
Amusements have been at rather a low
ebb .here for some time, owing to the
universal dullness that prevails. The
Richings Opera Troupe has been perform
ing at the National Theatre for three weeks
past, with tolerable success. To-morrow
night Ristori commences a short engage
ment. She appears first as Lor Teresa.
To-night at the same place there is to be a
sacred concert by the Baltimore Zieder
krantz and the Arion Quartette Ciub.
Warm weather is fully inaugurated and
the trees and shrubbery in the various pub
lic parks that adorn Washington are arrayed
in their greenest tints and thickest foliage.
The seventeen year locusts have also arrived
and the air is .vocal with their curious
melody. Members of Congress are anxious
to get home both on account of the warm
summer that is hastening upon them and
also that they may take the stump—the
majority of them—for Grant. The public*
business, however, demands much more
attention than can be given it in a few
weeks, and it is difficult to see how a com
promise can be effected, by which it can
be neglected and the energetic Radicals
allowed to go home. That should have
been thought of when so much time was
wasted upon impeachment, etc.
Arlington.
No one can use a personal pronoun so
grandiloquently as your small local. Limn
his column, and you find him using “we,”
“us,” and “our” as if he was the grand
centre and only topic of conversation in his
town, and certainly the hero of every
story. Some fellow gives him an indif
ferent segar, a mug of lager beer, (a glass
of soda water, or half a dozen sour apples.
—you then ought to hear him ! “Our
old, popular, highly esteemed and hand-'
some friend has presented US,” and so
on. The silly goose is usi-d as a town
pump, is heartily despised by sensible
people, and would handle an axe far more
usefully than a pen. He damns every
thing by praising everything. The most
villainous quack nostrum, the lowest grade
of liquor, the grandest rascal, all come In
for “a puff” from him. The result is, he
has no influence—his advocacy of an ob
ject, or praise of an individual, operates
the other way. His vapid effusions —his
dishwater —have no effect, and fall quite
still-born. — Journal & Messenger.
