He left when the Summer s light Lay over all the land, . . . „ And only said "Hw-et love, good night, And fondly kiss’d my hand. He did not come when morning came. And days and weeks went by, And though I loudly ca I’d his name, There came back no reply; But when the earth wa* white with snow, And Winter winds blew chill, A letter from afar did -how He was my lover still. When the fi-st violet came out To -ee if Spring were come, And bluebirds made a merry rout About my quiet home, I said when robins sing, I know His face I sure will see; This m 'ruing you your red breast show, Ana he iB here with me. —Thomas 8. Collier. LAMENT. *>■ I love him not; and yet, now he is gone, I feel I am alone. *- I checked him while he spoke ; yet could he speak, Alas! I would not check. For reasons not to love him once I sought, And wearied all my thought To vex myself and him ; I now would give My love, could lie but live Who lately lived for me, and when he found ’Tas vain, in holy ground He hid his face amid the shades of death! I waste for him my breath Who anted his for me ! but mine returns, And this lorn bosom burns With stifling heat, heaving it up in sleep, Ana waking me to weep Tears that had melted his soft heart ; for years Wept he as b: tter tears ! “Merciful God!” such was his latest prayer, “These may she never share!” Quieter is his breath, his breast more cold Than dairies in the mold, Where children spell, athwart the churchyard gate. His name and life’s brief date. Pray for him, gentle souls, whoe’er you be. And oh, pray too for me! llAltlt.il HARMAN-AGED 18. BY MBS. SUE M. ARTHUR. [For the Chronicle and Sentinel.] He lay with the death-damp on his brow, In the sultry Summer-day gloaming. How calmly at rest are his features now, While his thoughts are Heavenward roaming . Then o’er his face, like a rapture, swept A thrill of most exquisite pleasure ; And lie looked arouud, where his, loved ones kept Tender watch by their ’parting treasure. His mother stood there with bleeding heart— She had baried her darliug Ella— And now, ere removtd w*s the poisoned dart, This, the greatest of griefs, befell her. What confident hope his eve expressed ! Andie tried, though in vain, to tell her, [As she bowed her head on her troubled breast) That “he watched for their angel Ella." He gazed on her face, all worn with care— As he loved her, he loved no other— And gently he u'ter.d the words so dear : “The Angels are calling me, Mother !" Our Saviour while on th' accursed tree, Ere the breath of life had departed. Failed not, in the vast, moving crowd, to see His Mother, bereft, broken-hearted! Those last words, “Woman! Behold thy Son! Were fraught with much tender emotion With the wouderous triumph her child had won. And her child's sincere devotion. That triumph has brought these angels down. To waft a pure spirit to Heaven. And place on his b-ow an immortal crown, By his Heavenly Father given. That love has perfected the holy tie Betweeu the good child aud his mother. And reunited, where love cannot die, That fond angel sister and brother. Lexington C. H., S. C., July, 1876. THE MASTERY OF THE NEXT SENATE. Which Party Will Have It f—The Situation at Present—Twenty-Two Senators To Be Elected. [Correspondence of (he M. T. Tribune.] Washington, August 16.—As the Sen ate now stands there are 71 members only qualified; one elected but not yet sworn in (Mr. Blaine), and two vacancies —one in Louisiana, in place of Mr. Pinchback, and one in West Virginia, in place of Mr. Caperton. Of tne whole number of 74, the terms of 25 will ex pire on the 4th of March next, namely : Alcorn of Mississippi, AnthoDy of Rhode Island, Blaine of Maine, Boutwell of Massachusetts, Clayton of Arkansas, Oooper of Tennessee, Cragin of New Hampshire, Davis of West Virginia, Ferry of Michigan, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Goldthwaite of Alabama, Hamilton of Texas, Harvey of Kansas, Hitchcock of Nebaaska, Johnson of Vir ginia, Kelly of Oregon, Logan of Illi nois, Norwood of Georgia, Ransom of North Carolina, Robertson of South Carolina, Sanlsbury of Delaware, Stev enson of Kentucky, West of Louisiana, Windom of Minnesota, and Wright of lowa, Of the 25, 16 are Republicans and 9 Democrats. Messrs. Anthony and Johnson have already been re-elected. Mr. Lamar has been chosen in place of Mr. Alcorn, E. H. Rollins in place of Mr. Cragin, Gov. Coke in place of Mr. Hamilton, James B. Beck, in place of Mr. Stevenson, and Gov. Kirkwood in place of Mr. Wright. Of those so far chosen for the term 1883, three are Re publicans and four Democrats, being a gain of two for the Democracy. The terms of 24 Senators will expire in 1879 and 25 in 1881. Of the 49 Senators holding over from the 4th of March next, 27 are Republicans, 19 Democrats, and 1 Independent (Mr. Booth, of Cali fornia). There are two vacancies, one from West Virginia and one from Louis iana. Adding the Senators already elected for the term beginning in March next, the next Senate stands 30 Republi Counting Colorado, which is now a State, there are 22 Senators yet to be chosen, dependent on the elections com ing off in the Fall. .In order to secure a majority of one, the Democracy must elect 16 of these 22, and they have the following States to elect from : Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor gia. Alabama, Louisiana (two), West Virginia (two), Illinois, Michigan, Ten nessee, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Oregon and Colorado. It -will thus be seen that it is almost a cer tainty that the Republicans will control •the Senate for the first two years of the new Administration, bat by a very alim majority. THE EXHIBITION. HOW TO SEE THE SHOW IN THREE DAYS. Useful 44vie* to Those Whose Time la Phila delphia lo Limited—Articles Whieh Should he Seen—A Catalo#ue in Brief. Those who have visited the Centennial Exposition will recognize the value of the following guide to the great show in Philadelphia, which has been prepared by a correspondent cf the New York Tribune. Perhaps it would be a better plan for the visitor to reverse the order of the first day and commence at the west end of the Main Hall, instead of at the east, exercising his freshest powers on the more attractive articles contained in foreign departments, and arriving at the end of the day among the not uu familiar objects in the home depart ment. First Day. Bide around the grounds on the steam railway; then devote the whole day to the Main Building. As there are thirty six different National sections in it, this will give an average qf only fifteen minutes to each. To some you will do well to devote half an hour or e en more, while others will have to be passed over with a hurried glance. The most notable and characteristic exhibits in each are named below ; United States: Silverware, jewels, chemicals, furniture, the book trade pa vilion, chandeliers, the piano pavilion, the marble and slate mantels, and the very extensive display of textile fabric*. The educational exhibits in the south and east galleries should also be seen. The foreign countries are mentioned in the order in which they occur in the building, beginning at the eastern end, and taking first those on the north side of the main aisle, and afterward those on the south side. The method of traversing the building should be to en ter each section from the main aisle and return to the aisle before going to the next section. This will preserve the unity of the impression made by each national display. Exceptions will, of course, have to be made in the cases of the few sections which do not abut upon this chief artery of communication. Mexico; Most noticeable are the im mense casting of silver, the articles of MexicaQ onyx, and the leather and woven goods. Netherlands.; See the engineering ex hibit aud the East India curiosities. Brazil: Notice the feather flowers end beetle jewelry; take a glance at the photographs and the furniture. Belgium; See the court of laces and the school house (both will be found at some distance back from the main aisle). j Notice in the aisle the great pulpit of ! carved oak. Switzerland: Watches, lace curtains, embroideries, and carved woodwork ate the best exhibits. France : Half an hour should be spent here, 'examining the bronzes, porcelain, tapestries, silks, Limoges enamels, laces, ladies’ dresses, and the multitude ol fancy articles. See, also, the church images aud decorations. England : This department also re quires much time. The silverware, por celain, Poulton ware, ornamental tiles, furniture, and'lhe product of the Royal School of Needlework re best worth notice. ’ , , , ludia : The carved furniture, jewelry, fine tissues of silk and linen, shawls aud embroideries are admirable. Canada ; No special objects. A walk through the section will reveal a remark able variety of excellent manufactures, resembling closely those of the United States. Minor British Colonies; Beginning with Jamaica, which fronts on the cen tral aisle, these exhibits extend in a line back to the wall. A glance should be takeu at each. The Australian Group : It includes Victoria, New South Wales, Queens land, South Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania; all lie together, but each has a separate court. While there is a mark ed similarity, each colony has objects of special interest. Sweden : Here the costumed peasant figures, the porcelain, the furs, and the iron are most worthy of attention. Norway; See filigree jewelry, the fig ures of Laplanders, and the picturesque iron work. Italy: Carved woodwork, mosaics, corals, jewelry, and photographs. Argentine Republic: Not particularly interesting. See the mineral, the vieu na shawls, and the trunk that can be converted into a bed, hotel table, etc, Peru (back of the Argentine Repub lic): The Aztec Bkulls and articles from aneient tomb# are aloue worth seeing. Orange Free State (still further back): Diamonds and ostrich feathers. Chili: Not much besides minerals. China: Porcelain and wonderful carv ings in wood and ivory. Do not miss the carved bedstead. Japan: Give as much time as you can spare to this section. The bronzes, por celains, lacquered work, and embroider ed screens are inimitable. Denmark: Stop only to see the beau tiful imitations of Etruscan and Egyp tian pottery iu the first alcove. Tunis (bads of Denmark): Notice the inlaid arms, jewelry, engraved silver ware, and rich gold-thread embroideries. Sandwich Islands (next the wall): Queen Emma's feather cloak, wooden bowls, and native ornaments and uten sils should be seen. Egypt; The gorgeous embroideries, the curious Arabic engraved brass salv ers, the stuffed crocodile, and the hand some cabinets may be seen in a few min utes. Turkey: The finest sights are em broideries in silks, linen and woolen, pipes, curious pottery, old arms, and at tar of roses. Portugal (back of Turkey): Here the peculiar pottery, the filigree jewelry and the fine carvings in wood for architec tural ornaments, are best worth seeing. Spain: - xamine the emblematic facade to the Spanish court. Also, the mural tiles, carved sideboards, pottery, silver and the large show of textile fabrics. Russia; One of the most interesting sections. See the silverware, the mala chite and lapislazuli objects, the cloths of gold and silver, and the furs. Austrian Hungary: Hero the Bohem ian glass, the Viennese work in gilt, bronze, leather, meerschaum and amber, the garnet jewelry, and the Hungarian opals should be seen. Germany: The Berlin porcelain, t#e collective book exhibit, and the pianos are best features. Nmmiil Kay. Visit first the Shoe and Leather Build ing. There is a good deal ol sameness here, but the display gives, by its ex tent, a strong impression of the impor tance of this industry. The shoemaking machinery is very interesting. Go next to Machinery Hall. Three broad ave nues run the whole length of this huge structure, and by traversing each slowly and diverging from the one on tbn south side into the hydraulic annex, a good generel idea will be gained of the larg est collection of maAines in motion the world has ever had an opportunity of seeing. The following manufacturing processes carried on every day will be found worth stopping a few minutes to inspect: Weaving silks, woolens, car pets, stockings, book marks, etc., print ing, lithographing, paper making, scroll sawing, barrel making, glass engraving, chocolate and candy making, typo cast ing, type washing, making gutta porcha shoes' tobacco making, watch making, rock drilling and many other operations. From Machinery Hall the visitor should walk rapidly past the buildings at the western end of the grounds, noticing particularly the glass factory and the Chilian, Japanese, English and Spanish buildings, entering the latter for a few minutes' stay, ihe Government Build ing, the Woman’s Pavilion and the Hor ticultural Hall will finish the day’s, work. Third Day. Divide the day between the Art Galle ries and Agricultural Hall. In Memorial Hall see the Casteilani collection and the English gallery pretty thoroughly ; look at Makart’s Catherine Carnaro in the Austrian gallery; pass rapidly through the French, German, Swedish and American collections, not forgetting, however, to notioe in the former the Gobelin tapestry; see the Spanish and Russian pictures with more care, and do not overlook the Mosaics sent by the Pope, and a few really good Norwegian landscapes. Then pass to the annex, where there are acres of mediocrity, with here and there a good canvas. The Dutch aud Belgian collections are per haps the best, bnt there are some Amer ican and French pictures that ought not to be missed. The Italian marbles will be found pretty and attractive. Take, if possible, a half hoar for the Photographic Hall, where there are ad mirable displays by English, French, Australian, German, Russian Austrian, Swedish nd Amencam photographers. In Agricultural Hall see first in suc cession the various foreign sections— English, French, Japanese, Dutch, Venezuelan, Danish, Swedish, Nor wegian, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Canadian, Italian and Liberian. Daring the remainder of the time at your dis posal walk through the aisles in the American Department, and examine the most interesting exhibits. The Aquaria should not be forgotten, and a little time should be devoted to the Brewers’ Building, near the hall Citdii Aim. Miuobd, August 22 —During a drunken melee in Yatesville, Charles Fay was literally cut to pieces by Tom Japliu, a notorious rough. Fay’s in juries were fatal. Japliu escaped. 60V. TILDEN’S WAR RECORD MB. HEWITT If K F KN D IHO IT AGAINST MR. HASSON’S AB -8 AULTS. - A Brilliant Speech that ElectrMed the House —All of Hmmi’i Chargee Disproved—Air. Hewitt Warmly Congratalated Upon nis Effort—A Letter from Mr. Man toe Marhie. Washington, August 15.—The pro ceedings of the House last night were the most exciting of the session. The House had taken a recess until 8, p. m. After the transaction of unimportant business General Banks took the fl]or and delivered a speech on the Silver bill. Then Mr. Kassan, of lowa, began a vio lent and vindictive politicpl campaign speech, in which he indulged in person al attacks upon Gov Tilden. He de nounced him in most flagrant terms as having been a secessionist and disuniou ist. At this point Mr. Springer, of Illinois, arose and interrupted Mr. Kas son, asserting in emphatic language that hi# accusations were untrue. Great con fusion ensned, followed by a running debate between Messrs. Kasson, Clymer, Cox, Randall, and other members of the House, which continued for over an hour, amid intense excitement. Every one of Hasson's attacks upon Governor Tilden were indignantly repelled on the snot. The disgraceful scene between Kasson and Cox, which was followed by protracted filibustering on the part of Republicans to prevent Cox from getting the floor, has already been portrayed in these dispatches. The Republicans re fused to vote on the question to allow Cox to proceed in order, thus leaving the House without a quorum. Then began filibustering which lasted during the Right, the session not adjourning until 6 o’clock this morning. An at tempt was made to send for absentees under a call of the House, but dilatory motions followed each other in quick succession until about five o'clock, and then a call of the House was ordered and absentees were sent for. While the Sergeant-at-Arms and his deputies were out waking up members at all the boarding houses and hotels in Washington where members were stop ping, Mr. Hewitt obtained the floor, and in five minutes' talk obtained unanimous consent to withdraw all further proceed ing under the call and allow Messrs. Cox and Kasson tp make explanations of their unparalleled language. Mr. Cox there upon said that he had not intended to be offensive to the gentleman from lowa, but that when the charge was made that Gov rnor Tilden had written the circu lar letter about sending in the returns of the election, Mr. Kasson had refused to let TildfeD’s denial go upon the reoord, and that in the excitement of the mo ment he had characterized it by lan guage which he reoognized as unparlia mentary .* He then asked to have Gov. Tilden’s letter read as an explanation of his statement that Governor Tilden had never written or authorized the publics tion of the letter. After the readihg of this letter Mr. Kasson made an explana tion of his offensive language to Mr. Cox, and the amende honorable passed between them. Mr. Hewitt Takes th* Floor. The floor was then accorded to Mr Hewitt, who, at a quarter past 5 o’clock, began one of the most remarkable speeches ever pronounced in the halls of Congress. Jt was tip to the best days of the Republic, and would have done honor to Clav, Webster, Calhoun, or Benton. The House listened with pro found attention to every word that fell from his lips, which frequently called forth tremendous applause from the House and the gallaries. He began by a careful review of Kasson’s speech in every statement and particular. In a masterly, logical and earnest manner he spoke of Governor Tilden's record. He met and disproved every one of the charges affecting Governor Tilden’s in tegrity, his Union sentiments, his course daring the war, his position with refer ence to the Tweed ring, his connection with railroad corporations—in fact, his whole political history. He spoke in emphatic terms, exonerating Mr. Tilden from every charge against him. Mr. Hewitt makes no pretense as an orator, but on this occasion he seemed to speak in a manner unaccountable to his friends and surprising to himself. He knew Governor Tilden ; he was his personal and intimate friend and associate. His record was perfectly familiar to him in all its particulars, and he was prepared to speak with a full knowledge of what he was talking abpqt. His withering sarcasm and inveotive as addressed to Kasson have had no parallel in this ex citing session of Congress. The days of Blaine and Hill were tame in com parison with this terrific philippic that was uttered by Hewitt. It was the unanimous opinion of all his friends that he had utterly overwhelmed and emshed Kasson. At the close of the speech he pro nounced a glowing eulogy upon the statesmanship and patriotism of Gov. Tilden, and sat down amid the most tu multuous applause. He was immedi ately surrounded by every member on the Democratic side offering their con gratulations, and utterly stopping all proceedings of the House, rendering the Speaker powerless to preserve order. It was fully five minutes before any thing like deliberation could be obtain ed iu prder to entertain even a motion to adjourn. Never was a vindication more complete and perfect, and never a d-feat more thorough and overwhelming than that which Kasson received for ha* unprovoked and wanton attack upon the Democratic Presidential candidate. Mr. Hewitt is a man of rather delicate phy sique, and considering the fact that he had been up all night without sleep, he must have been greatly exhausted by ths fatigue of a continuous session of the House of over twenty hours. Yet he showed no signs whatever of mental exhaustion, but spoke with all the vigor ! and power that could have been expect ed under the most favorable circum stances. fje has established his repu tation by this effort as one of the fore most of Americau statesman and orators. A nummary of Mr. HewitUs Si^eedi. In the night session of Monday in the House, Mr. Hewiit, of New York, re plied to Mr. Kasson’s attack on Gov. Tilden. He spoke of Mr. Kasson’s speech as a painful surprise, and a mel ancholy experience. He could hardly have believed tu.at *Jjat gentleman, with his intellectual endowments, .could have go far abdicated his own self-respect as to have indulged in the partisan and malicious statements which he had gaade. He (Mr. Hewitt) approached the subject as he would take hold of a slimy snake, with $ desire to get rid of it. The first charge was that Gov. Tilflen bad beeu a Secessionist. It was possible that Gov. Tilden might before the law less strife have entertained views in com mon with Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, and other great men who had given con struction to the Constitution and Gov ernment of the country. At the out break of the rebellion he (Mr. Hewitt) was in daily and aim oß * hourly commu nion with Goy. Tilden, and he knew that no more loyai or pathetic heart was then beating in the United Sta'ss. When the first call of troops came, Tammany Hall, which bad not then fallen into the hands of the Ring, raised a regiment The Grand Sachem of Tammany Hall (W. D. Kennedy) was colonel of that regiment, and it was officered mostly by members of the Tammany Society. On account of his own (Mr, Hewitt’s) health hp bad been unable to go, but he had sent his nephew as one of the officers of that regiment. ~ ~ Mr. Lapham (Rep., N. V.): After the fall of Tort Sumter did not Mr. Tilden refuse to sign the call for the great Cooper Institute meeting, and refuse to attend the meeting ? Mr. Hewitt: ft is sot true that he re fused to sign it, and he did the meeting. [Applause on the Democratic side., Mr. Samuel Sloan, then a mem ber of the Uuioß Safety Committee of New York, applied to Mr. ? time when he was engaged in the tr a of a case, te .affix his name to <?&) and his reply was ‘'l am very busy just now. Send me the resolutions after the trial of this case and if they are en tirely proper I will sign the call.” The call was never sent to him, but when the meeting took place he attended it, and the received his absolute and un qualified approval. I B *y now that Tammany Hall raised a regiment for the war, and that Governor Tilden was a large contributor to that fund. Mr. Conger: How much? Mr. Hewitt : I am not going to state dollars and cents. Patriotism is above dollars and oents in some quarters. Mr. Conger; It is denied in the public press that Mr. Tilden ever contributed one cent for any such purpose. [Geri sive laughter on the Democratic side. 1 Will the gentleman state when and where and to what amount he ever con tributed to the raising of a regiment ? Mr. Hewitt: I state when, in stating that the Tammany regiment was raised, aad I state where* when I say in the city of New York. I do not state the amount, because Democrats did not go carrying the hat around- [Laughter.] Mr. Davy (Rep.), N. J : I supposed we had settled all our difficulties, aud that this was a sort of love feast. Mr. Randall (Dem., Pa.) : The love feast is to be on the fourth of March next. Mr. Hewett : Subsequently to that period no man in New York was more frequently called into counsel there and in Washington than Mr. Tilden I know that he was twice called for by President Lincoln, and eame to Washington and held cheerful consultation with him, re sulting in the early and rapid filling of the quota from the State of New York, and I know that during the whole of that trying time there never was .doubt as to the loyalty and patriotism of Samuel J. Tilden. As to the resolution of the Chicago Convention, quoted by Mr. Kas san against Mr. Tilden. declaring the war a~ failure, he (Mr. Kasson) should have known that within a month past a public and positive statement bad been made by Mr. Manton Marble, the Secre tary of the Committee on Resolutions, that Governor Tilden opposed that reso lution publicly and privately, and it was within his own (Mr. Hewitt’s) knowl edge that Governor Tilden urged Gen. McClellan after his nomination to make such a declaration in his letter of accep tance as would nullify that portion of the Chicago platform. Mr. Randall: Which was “The Union at all hazards. Mr. Hewitt: Those were the words in serted in the Chicago Convention. Gov. Tilden declared that the ad j uatment of the controversy between the North and South on any other basis than the res toration of the Union was impossible; that the moment any party went out of the Union the question must be settled by war, aud that the war must be prose cuted until the question was settled. These declarations of his were publish ed in the New York and Chicago papers at the time of the Convention, and that is my answer to the statement of the gentleman from lowa that Gov. Tilden never made any declaration in favor of the prosecution of the war, and that he was a disnnionist. In regard to the insinuations connect ing Gov. Tilden’s name with that of Wm. M. Tweed, he (Mr. Hewitt) said that Gov. Tilden had, for more than three years, like a hound ou the scent, followed members of the ring patiently, secretly, delightedly. He knew Mr. Tilden’s untiring efforts day and night; he knew how he tracked these people to their dens of iniquity, aud finally dragged them forth to public execration. [Applause.] Mr. Davy asked whether, subsequent ly to the exposure of Tweed, Mr. Tilden had not met Tweed at the Rochester Convention and had not raised his voice against Tweed taking a seat ? Mr. Cox (to whom Mr. Hewitt yielded for an answer) replied that there was no necessity for Tilden doing so, as Tweed was not in the Convention. Mr. Hewitt: The bare, naked fact is this: There was war—war to the knife— between Gov. Tilden and Tweed, and it ended in the defeat and exile of Tweed. [Loud applause on the Democratic side.] That is all there is about it. I call the House to witness that I have an swered, and'am willing to answer, every question bearing ou the merits of this case. No oue will intimate that there was the slightest intimacy, personal or political, at aQy time, between Samuel J Tilden aud William M. Tweed. There never was. There*was that asso ciation which comes from the en forced appointment of men on com mittees from their living in the same community and from their belonging to the same party. Bat the one man stood in the community above and beyond sus picion, and the other was always an ob ject of hatred aud finally of detestation. I defy the gentlemen to lay their hands upon a dishonest dollar in the posses sion of Samuel J. Tilden. The people whom he served are his friends to day, and his best friends ; and it is the ser vice which he rendered to them that will, notwithstanding the insinuations of the gentleman from lowa, give him the vote of those great Western States with in whose borders he reconstructed high ways which are to them to-day the arte ries of oommerce and blessings whose value cannot be properly estimated.— Through the whole of his remarkable career he has been the wisest of men. He has been the truest of friends. He has been the most zealous and earnest of patriots. He is to-day the wisest, the most accomplished statesman in the land ; and he will, by the blessing of God, be one of the greatest—perhaps the greatest—of Presidents of the Uni ted States, beciuse he will have the op portunity to rescue this Government from the hands of the incompetent and dishonest men who have controlled it so long and have made it a reproach in the eyes of the civilized world. [Great ap plause on the Democratic side.] A Telegram From Mantou Marble. The following telegram was received this afternoon by Mr, Hewitt in sup port of his reply to Mr. Kasson this morning: New Lebanon, N. Y., Aug. 15. To the Hon. A. S. Hewitt, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. : Your telegram received and shown me. Although Mr. Tilden was, for the ten years previous to the war and during the war, in private life, hi ß position in respect to the war was never open to the slightest doubt. He had been early ed ucated to condemn nullification and se cession. He had foreseen the danger of the civil wap when many derided it, and did all be could tq avoid it} but when it arrived he took an open and decided support in favor of the Government enforcing its jurisdiction and averting a dismemberment of the oountry. He at tended the meeting of the 20th of 'April, 1861, and again on the 22d of April the meeting of the New York bar. He soon afterwaads addressed a regi ment setting out for the front. He attended the presentation of colors to the Seventy-ninth Highlanders, and after ward afforded that regiment special aid and service, to say nothing of frequent contributions elspwhepe. His attitude throughout the war was that qf a man disapproving of the scatteration military management and the inflation financial policy adopted by the Administration, because they tended to prolong the war and increase its sacrifice. Nevertheless he sustained the arm of the Government. Every utterance of his during the whole war was in accord with this position. Every statement to the contrary about any single act or expression is totally false. Borne of hfe speecees I heard my self, particularly a great speeph which he made before the New York delega tion at the Chicago Democratic Con vention of 1864. I was the bearer of a message fponi him to Gen. McClellan, advising him to discard the objection able words in the platfopm, lyhieh were alsq discarded iu the subsequent plat form of the ijew York Demopratip Con vention. J haye possession of the origi nal manuscript of a declaration which he prepared in Obtober, 1862, to be used to define the position of the New York Democracy—the position whieh he thought it ought to take, and which he did take. I select this from among many expressions for its brevity. It is as follows; What Got. Tilden \y T rore In 1868. “And now, if my voice could reach the Southern people through the journals of our metropolis, I would say to them that in no event can the triumph of the con seryatiyp sentiment of New York in the election m e s n cpnpent to disunion, either now or hereafter. Jta tripe import is restoration, North and South, of that Constitution whieh had secured every right, under whose shelter all had been happy and prosperous until you madly fled from its protection. It was your act which began this calamitous, * evil war. It was your act which disabled us, as we are now disabled, from shap ing the polipy or limiting the objects of that war. Loyally a? *e maintained your rights wili we maintain the rights of the Government. We will not strike down its arm as loDg as yours is lifted against it.

A funny story is told of the second son of the Prince of Wales, Prince George Frederic. He is a merry scamp, fond of tricks, and no more awed by the majesty of his sovereign than most lads are by their grandmother. He was even less amenable to discipline a few years ago than he is now, and on one occasion, when staying with the Queen at the Castle, played her a pretty prank. Bhe had a solemn dinner, at whieh a Grand Duke, Mr. Gladstone, and Dean Stan ley assisted. At dessert the children were sent for. When they came in George was riotous. Grandmamma re proved him. He went on heedlessly. Grandmamma was again obliged to in terfere, At last the youngster became very obstreperous, and he had to be sent under the table, from whence he was not to emerge until he had confessed his sin and promised amendment. He was very quiet—to everybody’s surprise, but, when challenged, assured his im perturbable grandmamma that he was not yet quite good, but would be soon. At last he was satisfied with his own condition, and emerged as naked as when he was born. He thought that he could not do better than his first pa rents, and returned, therefore, to a state of Paradisaical innocence. THE WAR WITH THE SIOPS. THE COMMANDS OP GENERALS TERRY AND CROOK UNITED. The Combined Force on the March After the Savaseo —The Whereabout* of the Indians Unknown—A Meson*e from Sitting Bull. St. Paul, Minn., August 18.—Capt. Collins, of the Seventeenth Infantry, ar rived at Bismarck from Fort Buford last night. He fails to confirm the report of the Sioux squaw of a recent battle be tween the Indians and Terry’s forces. Scouts from General Terry’s column Wo days out arrived at Fort Buford on Monday evening. Couriers who arrived at the supply depot, at the month of the Rosebud, on the 11th instant, report that General Terry’s command met the head of General Crook’s command early ou the 10th instant. General Crook’s men were following a large Indian trail in the direction of the Powder river. After a shorf consultation between Generals Terry and Crook the commands were united, and the joint forces pro ceeded on the trail General Crook was following. The Fifth Infantry was detached from Gen. Terry’s column and ordered back to the stockade, with instructions to take 40,000 rations, embark on the steamer Far West, and patrol the Yel lowstone river as far as the mouth of the Powder river, and ascertain whether or not the Indians had sncceeded in cross ing the Yellowstone, and if not, they are to prevent them. In the meantime Gens. Terry and Crook will come down on them with their combiped commands and force a battle. It is # not positively known whether the Indians are on the Tongue or on the Powder river. Five hundred Crows have volunteered to join Gen. Terry. They were at once retained and forwarded to him. They will be sent down the north side of the river with Gen. Miles’ command, the Fifth Infantry. The Ptoneer Press and Tribune re ceived a special dispatch from Bismarck this evening, which contains interest ing news in addition to that already sent. The steamer Silver Lake arrived from above to-day. She reports that the steamer Far West was fired into a few miles below Fort Buford, on Tuesday last, by a party of about fifty Indians. No’ damage was done. A band of well armed Indians recent ly ran off a herd of 400 beef cattle from the Black Hills, and killed all but o u e. A large number of horses have also been run off. One of the Indians was killed in the operation, and his head, preserved in alcohol, will be sent to Washington when opportunity presents. Grey Ea gle’s scalp, whieh was taken by Dave Campbell, was sent to the Bismarek Tribune by the steamer Josephine, so that this settles the question whether the fellow was scalped. Medicine Cloud and his party, belong ing to the Fort Peck Agency, whom Major Mitchell, Indian Agent at Fort Peck, sent to Sitting Bull with a mes sage on the 27th of May last, has re turned to the agency. The message was to the effect that Major Mitchell desired Sitting Bull to visit Fort Peck, hoping that such a step would result in his re turning upon the reservation and ceas ing hostilities against the whites. Hitting Bull replied, July 27: “Tell him I am coming before long to his post to trade. Tell him I did not commence the war. Ia getting old, and I did not want to fight, but the whites rush on me, and lam compelled to defend myself. But for the soldiers stationed on the Rosebud, Iwith my people would have been there before that. If I was assured of the protection of the Great Father I would go.to Fort Peck for the purpose of making peace. I and other chiefs want the Black Hills I abandoned and we will make peace.” Medicine Cloud numbers the hostiles as consisting of Brules, Uncpapas, San tos, MinnecoDjous, Sarasaes, Ogallallas, Cheyennes and Blackfeet. Of the latter there are but thirty lodges. He says he does not remember the names of many of the leading chiefs. Four Horns and Black Moon are Uncpapas. Each nation has two or three chiefs present, and they all insist that they did not intend to fight the whites, but the Santos be gan the trouble. Some years ago the whites crowded them back and they took np arms. He also says that there are no Yanktonites with them. He estimates the hostiles as consisting of from 8,000 to 10,000 fighting men. The Saranacs and Cheyennes are most numerous, and they all have many wo men and children with them. There were several chiefs at Standing Rock, but they did not engage in the fight. One of these chiefs started to go to th 6 whites with paper, but was shot. There are no white men co-operating with them. He does not know how much ammunition they have, but they have plenty of'guns and pistols. He thinks they get their ammunition from a place called the Burning Grounds, beyond the Black Hills. They captured many horses during the fight, but only a few mules. The Blackfeet Indians made many presents of horses, &c., to warriors in order to induce them to retire from the conflict, but after accepting the offer the request was not allowed. They watch oontinuallv for whites, but do not intend to attack; they will, however, fight hard in their own defense. They are living entirely on (peat, which they find very to procure, owing to the close proximity of the whites. The hos tile oamp is now on Tongue river, one and a half days’ ride south of the Yel lowstone. Tiie Indians are in constant alarm, and ’there is no sleep in their camp. In answer to inquiries concerning the fight on the Little Big Horn, he says that the total number of Indians killed was thirty-one, and his estimatp of ppr loss oorrespouds. with what has been heretofore published. He saw five dead Indians in camp dressed in citizens’ clothes. The son of the Big Chief of the Cheyennes was killed, and was one of the nine warriors found in the tent. These nine were brave young men, but none were chiefs. The horses sacrificed round the tent were the property of dead men, and were killed in accordance with their re ligions belief, that they may have horses noon which to ride in the “Happy Hunting Ground. ” The For Peck letter conclndes : “While I am writing a large party of hostile Indians have arrived on the op posite bank of the river, including the sons of the Chiefs Four Horns and Black Moon, and are now engaged in telegraphing, by sigps, (o the Indians on this side; but what their object is has not yet transpired.” Lake City, August 19.— The two Utesi reported as haying arrivpd at Og den yesterday, froip (general ferry's command, en route tp this city, haye not as yet turned up here, although diligent search has been made to find them. The commanding officer at Oamp Douglass says he has received no news of any bat tle having been fought at the time a n j place reported by these Indians. Huntington, an old Indian interpreter and ex-Indian agent, who i wpl( posted on Indian patters 'and personally ac quainted with all the chiefs of the Utes and other tribes in Montana and Wyo ming, says that the story of the Utes is likely a hoax. He says that Washakee, named in the dispatoh from Ogden, has only ten Utes with him, and they are the worst in the tribe—unreliable and can not be trusted. He farther says that when any Indians come to the city they always report to hiq) immediately, and if the Utes arrived as reported he would have known it. It is more than likely that the two Indians are renegades, and came into Ogden in the manner that they did to excite sympathy in order to get money and eatables. The story is not belieyed here. ChexENNR, August 22.—A1l but twen ty-seven of the Utes, whet left Foyt terman, after being feasted and armed, haye deserted, taking with them arm# furnished with which to fight the Sioux. Chicago, August 23. —A dispatch re ceived at military headquarters here, says an Indian who arrived at the Stand ing Bock Agency, on the Jdissouri river, yesterday, reports that a severe fight took plane ten or twelve days since between the troops and the Indians at a point north of the Black Hills. The losses on both sides were very heavy, bat the troops had possession of the field. The Indians broke into bands and dispersed over the country. The troops are in pursuit. Improving Engiush Cloths . —A re markable practice is said to have come into vogue among some of the cloth sel lers of India. Bales of English goods are, as soon as received, carried to the river and washed, the object of this be ing tq thicken the texture of the cloth, and by this means to obtain a much higher price than that current for them as they arrive from the manufactories or original sources of production. The process is very simple. The pieces are one by one opened out at the river’s bank and washed in the running water, which takes off the English sizing; they are next re-rolled and beaten with wooden clubs, dipped and beaten again and again, and so ou for hours; the threads then begin to swell and thicken the cloth, so that the weaving appears close and tough. They are then reopen ed and partly dried, dipped in a hot tub of well bailed rice water, such as is used foy starching, and carefully bung out to dry: when dry, the cloth if care fully refolded and pressed. The change thus effected if so great that a coarse, long, very cheap cloth is transformed to a close-textured fabric, rivalling the very bast. • SPEAKER KERR. TRANQUIL END OF A NOBLE AND USEFUL CAREER. Friend* Who Stood at Hi* Bedside—'Tribute* k; the Heraid and the World—Funeral Ar rangements—KSecl of Hi* Death Upon the Organisation or the House. New Yobk, August 20. —A special from Rockbridge Alum Springs says : Speaker Kerr expired precisely at twen ty minutes after seven o’clock yester day eveniDg. The last half hour was painless and peaceful. He was surround by his wife and son, his secretaries, Messrs. White and Scudder, and Mr. Gox and wife. Mr. Gox states that on Friday Mr. Kerr conversed in whispers, consciously and intelligently, giving di rections to his secretary on private mat ters, and words of consolation to his wife and son. Dr. Pope was in constant attendance. Mr. Gox asked him if he was ready to go; he expressed his entire oontent. With heroic gentleness he conversed freely about the future world, its re wards, hopes and expectations, with calmness and serenity. He had suffered so much, he said, that he desired to be relieved, and yet he would not have his pain alleviated so as to distract and stupify his mind. He based his hopes of a better world upon the justice and benevolence which he had endeavored to illustrate in his life; he impressed his views upon his son, who is just entering manhood. Mr. Kerr’s frame was a mere skeleton ; there was really no flesh left; the wonder is that has survived so long. He recognized everybody to the last. He talked of the country, of his rela tives, and of politics, with Mr. Gox, and expressed his pride at the part he had taken in public affairs. Abouti. four o’clock yesterday evening death seemed approaching; his breath came short and feeble. He sank into a collapse, and seemed in great pain, and was heard to whisper “Suffocation;” yet amid all, he showed great fortitude, and recognized his friends. He pressed the handsof Gox and Montgomery Blair, exclaiming to the former, “Good-bye, dear friend; God bless you.” His pulse ceased at the wrist, and his limbs grew cold as marble. At six, p. m., the breathing grew stronger, and the pulse returned to the wrists. As sunset drew near, Dr. Pope asked: “Do you suffer any pain ?” Mr. Kerr shook his head. “Do you feel any easier now ?” He nodded in reply; then as the sun sank, his breathing became faint. The family and friends gathered around him, and the last heart-breaking farewells were breathed. He died very gently and peacefully, just at sunset. He was little over forty-nine years of age. The Herald, in commenting on the death of Speaker Kerr, pays a warm tribute to his character, aud says that in many ways he had endeared himself to the people of the United States. No man was truer in his friendships. Asa Democratic leader he had comparatively little influence upon the fortunes of his party, but, had he lived, he might have made an important figure in our history. As it is, he leaves a bright memory behind him. His publio career is without a blemish. The World also pays him a tribute of respect and honor. It says : “The West was proud of him, because he belong to that section; the East hon ored him for his steadfast adhesion to safe theories of finance; the South loved him on account of his ardent champion ship of her cause during the dark days of reconstruction. Among men of all parties he was esteemed for the purity of his life and the nobility of his motives.” Washington, D. C., August 20.—Hon. Milton Sayler and Mr. Adams, Clerk of the House of Representatives, leave here to-night for Rockbridge Alum Springs, to assist in making arrangements for the funeral ceremonies of the ex- Speaker. An embalmer was sent down last night, and a casket, similar to that in which Vice-President Wilson was buried, will be taken down to-night. Ar rangements will be made to take the body from the Springs *to Huntington, thence by steamer to Cincinnati. It was expected that after Mr. Kerr’s death his body would be brought to Washington and placed in the Speaker’s room at the Capitol for a few days, and an opportunity be given members of Congress remaining in the city, as well as the citizens of Washington, an oppor tunity to pay that respect to the remains of |tlie dead Speaker which his exalted position in life demanded. But owing to the absence of the Sergeant at-Arms of the House, the only officer of that body who has authority to incur the ex pense necessary to an arrangement of this kind, prevents it being carried into effect. Mr. Adams, the Clerk, has taken the responsibility of having the body embalmed and procuring a suitable casket in which to transport it in to the home of Mr. Kerr’s family at New Al bany, Indiana. Hon. Milton Sayler haying been elect ed to serve as Speaker only during the absence of the Speaker, the death of Mr. Kerr leaves the House of Representa tives without a presiding officer, and on the assembling of that body it will be the duty of the Clerk to call the House to order, and to preside until a Speaker is duly elected. No other business can be transacted by the House, however, until such election. Kerr’s Remains. An embalmer was sent to Rockbridge Alum Springs last night to embalm the body of the late Speaker Kerr, and to night a casket for the remains was for warded, the party accompanying it in cluding Representatives Sayler, Case and Yonge, together with Col. Adams, Clerk of the House, under whose direc tion, in the absence of the authorized agencies, the preparations were made. Ex-Speaker Banks was invited to go, but was obliged to decline tq engage ments requiring him to. leave Washing ton to-night for tfie East. Representa tive Cos? is at the springs. Although Presidents and Vice-Presidents have died while in office, this is the only case where a Speaker of the House has died. The party which left to-night for the will arrive there to-morrow morning at 8 o’clock, when it will be de termined whether tfm remains of Mr. Kerr will be conveyed to New Albany hy the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and Ohio river, or hy continuous rail road to New Albany by way of Wash ington. Washington, August 21.— The follow ing was received this afternoon from Hon. S. S. Cox: Rockbridge, Alum Springs, Va., Au gust 21.—Mr. Adams and Mr. dayler ar rived this a. m , with a casket. The re mains are embalmed and the escort will leave for Washington tips evening, and arrive there at seven in the morning and fhen'ce by first train for the West. When the remains of the late Speaker Kerr arriye here, Sergeant-at-Arms Thompson will take charge qf them. He is in fayqr of having them lie in state qne day in the rotunda of the Capitol. Speaker Sayler, before leaving last night for Rockbridge Alum Springs, silso strongly favored such a course. This will depend very much on the feelings Z M i airs. Kerr in this respect, and until the funeral party arrive here no one can tell what the Programme will be. New Albany, Ind., August 23.— The remains of M. C. Kerr will arriye here at midnight and % removed to the rotunda of the Court House, which has been draped in mourning from the dome to the ground floor. The remains will lie in state until to-morrow evening, when they will be removed to the late residence of the Speaker- The |fnneral services yrfU take place Friday after noon. POLITICAL NOTES, Candler, Hammond, or Hoge? That’s the way it stands in the Fifth District, and a lively primary canvass may be ex pected. Dr. Felton will, in all probability, be returned to Congress from the Seventh District- His constituents gave him a most cordial reception on his return from Washington. Hon. L. N. Trammell, Presidential elector, opened 1 the campaign at Spring Place, Manry county, on the §lst inst. He delivered an able and eloquent speech to a large assemblage. Now come telegrams which declare that Col W. H. Dabney will be the re gular Democratic candidate for Congress in the Seventh. No better man in the District than Col. D. The Democracy of South Carolina are rapidly perfecting their organization in the counties. Quite a large number of colored voters are renouncing their al legianoe and declaring for Hampton and victory. The Columbia Register is informed that-lodge Mackey has come out flat footed for Hampton for Governor. We think the Governor himself had better give np the contest, and come oat for him, too. He ought to know, as Mackey knows, that the thing has gone far enough. Radicalism mast die the death. The Chatham Democracy are unani mous for the renomination of Hon. Julian Hartridge for Congress. The delegation to the nominating Conven tion ur a strong one. The wife of James Monroe, nearSauls bnry, presented him wilh three fine boy's the other night. Names as fol lows: Samuel J.

The Deputy Sheriff Assaulted—Ten of the Rioters Surrender to Smalls—The Trou bles Not Yet Ended. [Special Dispatch to the Chronicle and Sentinel. [ Yemasske, August 23.—Deputy Sheriff Sams and a small posse , acting by order of Governor Chamberlain, proceeded to Combahee to compel the surrender of the ringleaders. A mob of some three or four hundred rioters was encountered yesterday evening. Five of the ring leaders were arrested, but the guard was subsequently attacked, the prisoners rescued and the posse se verely beaten and effectually dispersed. The Sheriff was one of those injured. They retu ned straggling to Yemassee. This morning the Sheriff started with a small party and being reinforced by Smalls and Gleaves at Sheldon, again started for the strikers. They met them at Gardner’s Corner. The rioters threatened the whites and abused them horribly bat some ten sue oumbed to the eloquence of Smalls and surrendered to him. They wonld not yield to the Sheriff. They were sent to Beaufort under guard. The rest dispersed but the end is not yet. GeD. Conner, acting by the request of Chamberlain, Col. Rhett, Maj. Bnist and several other prominent Charlestonians, came up this evening on a special train,.to obtain an exact know ledge of affairs.' They fouud things as stated. They congratulated the whites on their forbearance, aud return in a few minutes hence. Press Telecrams. The latest from Combahee reports that through the offorts of Congress man Smalls and Lieutenant-Governor Gleaves, both ofiored, the mob of riot ous strikers were this evening induced toMisperse. The ringleaders have been arrested and lodged in Beaufort jail. The strike is regarded as virtually end ed. Caterpillars. Montgomery, August 23. —Caterpil lars have made their appearance in great numbers throughout this section, and farmers are apprehensive of the almost total destruction of the cotton crop through the prairie belt. Efforts are being extensively made to stop their ravages by the use of poison, but many are discouraged and think all efforts vain. The next ten days if the late con tinuous rains continue will decide the fate of the crop. The Cotton Caterpillar—lts Rav ages Commenced. The Charleston News and Courier says : A gentleman who arrived here yesterday from Edisto Island had in his possession a box con taining quite a number of specimens of the genuine destructive oaterpillar.— They were extremely lively and active, and although they had been closely con fined for some time, were still full of vi tality. They were taken from a field where they were busily engaged in strip ping the plant of its leaves, and were rapidly devouring everything green around, and so far as was learned there was only one plantation on which they had up to this time do eloped this destructive action, but they were to be seen in various stages, and in a short period they would be over the entire island. Wherever Paris green had been carefully applied it had acted as a com plete remedy. The sea island orops of cotton generally look well, but in some cases the plant has put on yellow leaves and appears less vigorous than is indi cated by a good growth. The First New Carolina Rice.—The Charleston News and Courier* says: The first receipt of the new crop of Carolina rough rice, of the-present year’s growth, was received yestetday by Messrs. Geo. H. Ingraham & Son, factors. It con sisted of a lot of about 250 bushels, and was grown on Pon Pon, by A. R. Deas, who has on several occasions sent the first new rice to market. It was sent to Bennett’s Mill to be cleaned, and will probably be placed on the market to day. A lot was also received yesterday by Messrs. W. C. Bee & Cos., consisting of 300 bushels of the new crop, fronl the plantation of J. Bennett Bissell, Esq., on Combahee. This lot was also sent to Bennett’s Mill, ancF will be on the mar ket to-day.
