And tho wild bird's song rang loud and high Through the morning’s dewy air. Over tho meadow brook I loaned, Watching Its merry fall, s * And over tho little bridge sho came, My lovo, my darling of all. “ Now. heart,’* I said, “bo bravo and bold, And hush your wild, wild beating; Now faltering lips, bo quick,” I said, “ To give her love's own greeting. “ To toll her all tho deep, llcop lovo That never will lot mo rest; To toll her tho terrible doubts and fears That rankle iu ray breast.” . But O, when sbo stood bcsldo mo, So daintily sweet and fair. With her deep wood violet’s blue In her eyes, And tho chestnut brown iu her hair. My stammering Ups refused to speak, • My coward eyes looked away; And over the meadow sho went and took All the brightness of the day. The brightness of my life sho took Forever and ever away; For lu all the springs that the slow years bring. Will never come back that day. The wild birds sing still loud and high, And the meadow grasses wave, And the sunlight still is rich and warm, But rhinos, ah, mot on her grave. THE JUDGE, THE DETECTIVE, AND THE SILVER TEA-POT. Mr. Justice Mullen, of the Supreme Court of New York, is distinguished for grout simplicity of manner and superior abilities as a judge. The exigencies of judicial business frequently demanded bis presence in this district. On a recent visit be brought with him a valuable sll ver tea pot needing a little repair, and re quiring nicer manipulation than was ob tainable at his rural residence. On leav ing the tit. Nicholas Hotel, where ho was stopping, he did precisely what he would have done at home—took the pot in ins hand to carry to the silversmith. On coming out’ of the door, however, he thought he would slip it under his over coat, which he did, hut did it just at the moment a detective happened to be pass ing; who noticed the movement, mid thought he would 11 pipe” the old gent After doing this for a few rods, aua no ticing that the party frequently cast fur tive glances at different objects, he be came satisfied that the pot must have been purloined from the hotel. He there fore quietly tupped the judge on the shoulder and said: “ I want you !” “For what, sir!” “Oh you know I Just you come aloug with me I” “ Come along with you! What do you mean ?” slightly indignant. “ Oh, no use to try that on me; you come Quietly to tho station house, that’s all! That tea pot under your understand?” , “ Why” (assuming a more decided tone) “ that's my tea pot. u Oh, certainly !by all means! of course it’s your tea pot; won’t do though ; that dodge is played out; come along, aud don’t bother!” Here the justice stopped and said: “Sir, I am Justice Mullen, of the Su preme Court. I don?t know you, nor what vou men- n --°ofi-dnnt.wi»h.-to-te* uoyetr.-* “ You Justice Mullen I Oh, certainly I no doubt about that! of course you’re Justice Mullen ! Justicescf the Supreme Court are always going down Broadway with silver tea pots under their coats— always doing-that sort of thing! But that cock won’t tight; so come along, or I’li make short work with you.” “ Hook here, sir,” said the Judge, "here is an establishment” (pointing to the store in front of which they stood) ‘•the proprietor of which will at once identify me, and stop this farce.” “ All right, .go in v* In they walked, but unfortunately the proprietor was out. Detective, becoming impatient, said; “Do any of you know this fellow?” Not being recognized by any of the clerical‘force, the officer thinking there hud been too much “talkee, tulkee” al ready insisted upon a prompt compliance .with hia requisition. His Honor saw the ridiculous predicament he was in, and at once proposed going to the hotel, where his identity could be promptly estab lished. Detective, sure be hud “ nipped” an old and adroit offender, and thinking it might perhaps be well to restore th tea pot to the owner, and then have his light-fingered friend committed, acqui esced, and accompanied ' the “ Hotel thief” to the St; Nibholus- The sequel can be better imagined than written. A cheaper looking, a cheaper feeling Indi vidual than the “ expert,” it would be difficult to find. He is familiarly allu ded to as “ Justice Mullen,” but he don’t like it much. The Grave of Braddock.— Among the many things which time has brought to light, is the answer of the oft repealed query, “ Who killed Braddock ?. During that memorable retreat of the British atm provincial troops, Braddock ordered that hla troops should not protect themselves behind trees. One Jacob Fausett pre sumed to disobey this order, when Brad dock, in a passion, struck him with his sword. Tom Fausett, who was but a short distance from bis brother, saw the whole transaction and immediately shot the General through the luugs. The Hon. *. Stewart, of Unlontown, Pa., says ids father often heard Fausett ac knowledge this. After Braddock fell, his body was carried by the troops for four days, when heexpired. He was interred in the middle of the road, so that all the soldiers, wagons and horses might puss over and obliterate nil vestiges of his grave from the eyes of the savages. About twenty-nineyeorsago, some laborers who were repairing the road came upon the remains, and taking a number of the most prominent bones, re-interred the others. Sometime alter wards the scat tered bones were collected and sent to. Peale’s Museum, which was in Philadel phia at that time. Bradaook’s grave is in Fayette county, this State, and is marked by a plain shingle nailed to a tree, where partof the bones are interred. This is the only monument which serves to point out to the traveler the last rest ing place of the proud and brave but un fortunate victim of Indian warfare. Too Bio to Count. —The task of coun ting out the dollars, at the rate of one dollar a second or sixty a minute, which would discharge the two thousand five hundred millions of public debt of this 'country, would consume over two hun dred years if attempted by a single indi vidual, and ho could live to accomplish it. To cancel this debt would require, at the rate of cancellation now going on, the labor of six millions, of operatives ovcr*two thousand years; and then it could not be.done for wc are not wiping out any portion of it the present year, nor do we bid fair to. The operation of this “ blessing” has been “ splendid” for all the Jay Cooke tribe. Millions per year have gone from the many poor into the pockets of the few rich. It is quite easy to perform our du ties when they are pleasant and imply no self saoVifice; the test of principle is to perform them with equal readiness when they are onerous and disagreeable. The Holy Land in 1867.—Th0 Chica go Journal-lias a correspondent who Is ptrollng through the Holy Land , and Pallestine. He is not particularly Im pressed with the present state, whatever Its past may have been. Ho says : “ T have not seen a wagon road Iu Pal estine. Even the stones and timber for building the houses of Jerusalem must be brought into thejclty upon the ’bucks of camels and donkeys; and the roads over which Abraham, David,. Christ and the Apostles once traveled are but paths winding over rocks aud around the base of sterile mountains. In fact, this whole land, said to have been so beautiful, is now but a rocks*, barren waste. I think I hove seen more good land iu onesqimre mile In lowa or Illinois than in all Pal estine. Much of the country is occupied by the Bedouin Arabs, and for the'privilege of visiting the river Jordan and Bead Sea, their Stick requires; $2.50 ’cents for each person. For this Amount ho sends a guard of Arabs with you. The population of Jerusalem is now said to he but 13,000. The correspondent upon this faot moralizes thus: “While looking at the city as it now Stands, with its narrow streets Ailed with dogs, Arabs, and filth, it is hard to real ize that it was once the homo of more than one million human beings, and the proud metropolis of a mighty nation.— while looking out at the window nt the Mosque of Omar, where the Turk bears rule, 1 can but ask myself the question, is It possible that on that spot stood tho temple of Solomon ? Ts it there that David held his court? The pages of ids tory answer, “Yea, that spoils Mount Moriah. Upon that temple whoso glory tilled the whole earth,” Pretty Incident.— The other day a wedding took place at tho Madeline Church in Paris, between a very noble gentleman and lady, and among the crowd that gathered outside to see the splendid bridal party was a miserable beggar about twelve years old. Now in Paris every one who has not something to sell’ls curried off to a police house—if they stop in the streets as this one did— and accordingly an officer was just asking her if she had anything to dispose of and die poor thing was trembling in every limb for fear of imprisonment, when a sweet little girl, a sister ot the bride hap pened to overhear the policeman us he passed by, and to save the ragged offen der she quickly placed In her hand u su perb boquet she was carrying, and an swering for her, eald : “Yes, she has ; these flowers, but she asks too much and f cannot buy them.” As she turned to go on, an old gentleman, who saw and understood it ail, stepped forward, and putting a gold piece in the poor child's palm, remarked: “I will give twenty francs for it,” aud presented it to the amiable.little angel whose goodness had been more fragrant than the choicest blossom that ever graced a garden. Incomprehensible.— There are three things supremely Incomprehensible Time, distance,'‘velocity. Of time, we are always its possessors but never pos sess it. The post gone, the present is go ing, and the future Ims not come to us.— As for distance, we may indeed gaze into its realms, but who cau measure Us pro fundity but Him whom the heaven of heavens cannot contain Science makes the brain reel as it sends down its sound ing lines, but what they bring up is but sand grains from the fathomless caves aud vast immensities of eternity's ocean. And of velocity, we pause utterly con founded at the idea of light moving twelve millions of miles a minute, sweep ing down to Us from stars so remote that It takes thirty-live thousand years to ac complish thejourney. - • AFTER DBATIT.—Tt Jg very singular how the fact of a man’s death often seems to give people a truer idea of ids character, whether lor good or evil, than they have ever possessed while he was Jiving and acting among them.— Death is so genuine a fact that it is a touchstone that proves the gold and dlsr. honors the baser metal. Could the de parted, whoever he may be, return in a week after his decease, he would almost invariably find himself at a higher or lower point that be had formerly occupi ed on the scale of public appreciation. Newspapers.— ln a lecture upon news papers, delivered in Philadelphia, by Kev. De Witt Talmage,. he said: “I now declare that I consider the newspa pers to be the grand agency by which the Gospel is preached, ignorance cast out, oppression dethroned, crime extirpated, the world saved, Heaven rejoiced and God glotified. In the clunking of the firinting press, as sheets fly out proclaim ng to all the dead nations of the earth, ‘ Lazarus, come forth I’ and to the retreat ing surges of darkness, * Let there be light.’ A Good Hit. —An editor who seems to have lost hla temper, gets off, the follow ing well merited hit: “ Those fellows who don’t take their homo paper, watch them ! they are al ways on the alert on the publication day, and when the paper comes around to your place of business, are the first to snatch ft up; failing in this, they read it over your shoulders, too impatient to de mean themselves in a respectful manner. Spot these fellows. They are the small suuled, stingy handful, who go through the world on other folk’s money,” Value op Advertising. —The largest income in New Hampshire is said to he that of a proprietor of a preparation known as a** hair restorer.” A half doz en years ago this “restorer” was un known; and to-day would probably have been worthless but foradVcrtiHlng. This income is from printer’s ink. People who have anything to sell shotiUl.inaUo a note of the fact. SSfA. good woman living in Hart ford, Conn., stepped up to a member of the legal profession and inquired : “ Mr. , will you please tell me where the Union Prayer meeting is held this af ternoon?” The lawyer, having looked every way for escape, finally stammer ed out: “ Madam, 1 give it up—you’d better try some some other profession!” tg&'A. very learned man has said, the three hardest words in the English lan guage to pronounce are, “ I was mista-. ken.” And when Frederick the Great wrote his letter to the Senate, “ I have just lost a great battle and it was entire ly my own fault.” Goldsmith says:— “ This confession displayed more great ness than all his victories.” “Is this what the ladies , wear around their waist* ?” asked a country youth of a friend who was a clerk in u dry goods store in the city.. “Of corset Is,” returned the counter-jumper, with a mischievous wink. j&ar*“ Patrick, can you read the name on the shop just opposite, for mo?" asked a nearsighted young lady. “Sure, miss,” replied Pat, “it’s as ignorant as yourself ' um. They nlver taught me to read cither.” JSS?“No leas than 2.8G9 liquor stores have been opened In Massachusetts since November 5, 2807. BSf A man who claims an extraordina ry amount of veneration, says he respects old age in everything except chickens for dinner. i6g?*An exchange says no man who chews tobacco can expect to rate os a gentleman. iPoliliraJL THE “LOII.” LEAGUE.

Why is the South threatened with a war of races and civil law trampled under foot in that section ? Why are millions of white men not represented In Congress? Why have all the. guarantees of the Constitution been broken down, and the rights of free-born Americans subjugated to the arbitrary will of Irresponsible sa traps?

The industrial classes of the North will find an answer to all these questions in the destructives. It is to them we are in debted for the evils by which the country is threatened, And the worst has yet to come. The negroes refuse to work, and the great productiveness of the youth is lost to the country. The white men of the free states are oppressed with taxation,. that they may be supported in idleness. Of the four or five hundred millions of dollars which are raised upon the Indus tryof this section every year, a large pro portion is expended in the devilish work of reversing the natural order of the races.

Washington, June 24.—The follow- U the protest which Mr. Brooks proposed to oiler in the House to-day against the Mtlmission of the Representatives of the Slate of Arkansas: t Tne recognized presence of three per sons on the Hour of this House from the State of Arkansas, sent here hy military force, acting under a Brigadier General of the army, but nevertheless claiming to be members of this Congress, and to share with us, the Representatives of the free States, in the imposition of taxes and customs and ether laws upon our people, makes It our imperative duty, in this the .first case, to remonstrate most solemnly and to protest ua solemnly against this perilous and destructive innovation up on the principles and practices of our hitherto constitutional self-govern ment. The so-called reconstruction nets which created the military government in Arkansas and like governments in other Squthern States to share with us in the legislative power of the Northern and Western free people, wo have every rea son to believe, have been held to be un constitutional by the Spureme Court of the United Stales, the public declaration of which fact was avoided only hy the extraordinary and strange device of tills Congress in snatching Jurisdiction from the Court in the MoArdlo case, when wuch a vuVj\\o dcctoWm Tfna aVinut to lie made. Of the three great branches of the Government, it seems, then, that after tlie Executive vetoed these acts as uncon stitutional, the judiciary adjudicated them to be so, while a Congress, the cre ation of but twenty-seven of the thirty seven Slates of the Union, overrides these equal and co-ordinate branches of that Government, first by* voting down the vetoes, next by nullifying tbe judgment of the Court, in an era of profound peace, when not an armed man rises against the Government from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, there, in.ten States, our American historical way of creating the organic law has been utterly subverted hy the bayonet. Ever since the Declara tlon of Independence—with scarcely an exception—and even amid the battles of tlie Revolution, coventions have been convoked through, and constitutions cre ated by, the electors ol the States, the only authorized depositories of tlie sov ereign power of every Slate, without.ex terior dictation, as under the existing Federal Constitution. The hardest and harshest* test oath required from X77(> to the peace of 1783 was au abjuratlo oath of allegiance to George - the Third, while some of the so-called bayonet made Con stitutions from tlie South propose absurd and cruel tests—absurd, as is Arkansas where Is interwoven In tlie organic Jaw a mere party that between the Radical Recoustructionists and the Democratic Conservatives, such us would exclude from voting, if living there, the thou sands and tens of thousands and hun dreds of thousands of Democrats in the free States, (article 8, section 4 ;) or cruel, as in Alabama, where no white man can vote who will not forever foresware his own race and color mid perjure himself by swearing, in defiance of the law of Ood, that the negro is his equal, and forever to be his equal,at the ballot-hoxpn the jury box,with the cartouch box, in the school, in the college, in house and home and by the fireside—in short, in* every way, every where—(article 7 section 4.) Now, in tlnjso and the other Southern States, in the midst of war,rresident Lin coln in His proclamation of December S. 18- OU,offered amnesty and pardon to rebels then in arms If they would lay down their arms and take an oath of fidelity, while now not a Union man in Arkansas or Alabama can vole unless in the hist placehe»wearaaUegiauce to lire majesty of this Congress, and in the next swears' oh his Americanism and Africanizes him self. Hitherto constitutions with ns have been the outgrowth of popularijfe.sprlng bur from the cxhoberanco of our enter prize and energy in the settlement of the loreat or pralriesof our country ; but here before us now are nine conslitututiona with one, if not three more to come from Texas, which have all been 1 imposed up on the people by live military satraps ,or Penturehs in a manner never before known under the law, but borrowed at best from Imperial Homan civilization, or’ from the worst precedents of tl e French revolution. Franco is then recorded to have had five constitutions In throe years, so frequently made and so frequently .changed that they were ironically classed by the French people with the periodi cal lileiature «l the day. LouLiaua, a colony of that France, lias had four con stitutions hi four years, and a constitu tion there has now become periodical lit erature, us In France In.the agonies ami throes of tin* great revolution. Laws were statute laws, which can never be created by'constitutions, are appended, more or less, to all these constitutions; and these bayonet-created, one branch governments, with no Executive, no Senate, no House of Representatives, no Judiciary, have ordained invpealable, irreversible laws in the very organism of the Stale such as cannot thus be created by the Executive, the Senate ami the House of Representatives of legitimate governments.when acting in unison and all combined. Aii this has been dong without regard to preceding constitutions or precedents, or to .the common law of the Stales, or the law of nations. The military, which under legitimate Institu tions can only he used in times ««f peace to conserve or preserve the Stale, have here been used to destroy Stales. The General of the army, who represent the sword, and only the sword of the Ri-puh- Ifc, has been exulted by acts of Congress above the constitutional Comnmnder-in- Chief of the army and navy, in order to execute those military decrees, ami a* the surer way to throw out every vestige left of constitutional law or liberty, the same General of the army, in order to prolong or perpetuate his military domination, North and West, as well as South, has been selected in parly convention, at Chicago, to head the electoral vole for the Presidency in ten of our, States, which are as much under his feel as I urkey is under the Sultan, or Poland under the Czar of Russia But, as If only to add insult to the injury of this military out rage upon the popular Government in these ten Stales,.either by act of Congress or by these Congresssoldier-nmde Stale constitutions, at leitst 250,000 whites have been disfranchised, while 750,000 negroes inexperienced in ah law making, and more ignorant than our children, have been enfranchised in their stead, and have thus been created absolute masters and sovereigns over the whole white population of the’South. Because of all this, and in opposition to all this, we, Representatives ot the people from the free States, in behalf of our constituents, and of*thousands and tens of thousands of others who would Kates for 3,s»crUsmQ.

There Is no law in the land oyer the con- Htitutiontil law; there la no government but constitutional government; und hence all bayonet-made, all Congress-im posed constitutions are of no weight, au thority, or sanction, save that enforced by arms, an element of power unknown to Americans In peace, and nev»-r re quired but as It acts in and under the su preme civil law,- tho Constitution, and the statutes erected in pursuance thereof. Wo protest then, in the behalf of the free people of the North und West, against the right of this,military oligar chy, established in Arkunsaw and else where in the now re-enslaved States of tho South, to impose upon us through Congress, taxes, customs; or other laws to maintain this oligarchy or its ifreed men’s Bureaus. We protest against going into tho now proposed copartnership of riSUitary dic tators aud negroes in the administration of this Government.

Munb.cn, Henry Clay’s Prophecy. —Henry Clay, in his celebrated speech before the Senate, delivered February 7, 1839, utter ed the following prediction. It Is no less prophetic Hum was the prediction of Daniel Webster, in regard to the results of abolitionism. Wo commend It to the attention of the negro-lovers of to-day : “The abolitionists, let mo suppose, succeed in their present aims of uniting the inhabitants of the free States as one man against the inhabitants of the slave Slates. * * * A virtual disso lution of the Union will have already ta ken place, while theform of its existence remains. Tbe most valuable elements of union—mutual kindness the feelings, of sympathy, the fraternal bouds which now happily unite us, will have been ex tinguished forever. One . section will stand, in menacing and hostile array against the’ other. The collision of opin ion will be quickly followed Ify the clash of arms. I will not attempt to describe scenes which now lie happily concealed from our view. Abolitionists themselves would shrink back in dismay and horror at the contemplation of desolated Helds, conflagrated -cities, murdered inhabi tants, and the overthrow of the fairest fabric of human government that ever rose to animate the hopes of civilized man. * * * I am, Mr. Presi dent, no friend of slavery, * * but I prefer the liberty of my own country to that of any other people, and the liberty of my own race to that of any other race. The liberty of the descendants of Africa in the United States, * * * If, it were possible, could only be establish ed by violating tlie incontestable powers of the States, and subverting the Union. And beneath the ruins of the Union would be burled, sooner or inter, the lib erty of both races,” The Attorney General Elect Mur ders an Editor.— it seems, says the Montgomery Mail , Unit Jo slum Morse, the secessionist, who beloro the war cru alii’ beat a negro, ami poured sale on the quivering wounds, and who since the war lias been promoted by the negroes and Congress to the position of Attorney General of the bogus Government, has continued his Infamous career by mur dering the editor of the CAoctaw herald, a man who has not hesitated from theoul «et to expose the’disgraceful character of the loaders of the Radical party. By a gentleman just from Butler we learn that our friend N. E. Thomas, editor of the Choctaw Herald , was murdered in a moat cowardly manner by Joshua Morse, the Attorney General of the Hcallawug olh gurchy which the so-called Congress at Washington has just voted to recognize ns the lawful government of what was the State of Alabama. He was assisted by one Win, Gilmore, a loss eminent member of the gang ,of renegade white men, but well enough known. Mr. Thomas has not been backward in ex pressing his opinion of these creatures, and It seems that they took the occasion of the absence of most of his friends, on a fishing excursion, or something of the sort, to visit him athUolllce and provoke a dUUculty. Gilmore made a commence ment which brought on an altercation, which resulted in Thomas firing a pistol at him. Morse, who hud kept himself in the background, appeal's by this time to have niovided himself with a double barrelled gun, with which he fired twice at Thomas, lodging thirty-eight buckshot In his body, causing death within a half uu hour. Both the,assassins imme diately lied, and it is understood that they have made their way to Atlanta to shelter themselves under the protection of General Meade.— Mobile (Ala.) A<ivr)" liner. Dead all Around.—A correspondent of a New York paper, ’who went to Chi cago to attend the late convention, gives the following asamong the first incidents of I is arrival : Some delegations had arrived. I spoke to one of the delegates Irom lowa. , “ How is Griines ?” says I. ** Grimes Is dead,” says he. Then 1 met a delegate from Maine, and asked him If he had seen Fessenden. “ Fessenden is dead,” says he. The next delegate I met was from Illi nois, so I asked him how Trumbull was getting on. , ** Trumbull Is dead,” says he. A delegate from Missouri then came along, and I spoke to him about Hender son. Henderson is dead,” soys he. The next delegate I saw woafropi Kan sas, and 1 asked him If he hud seen Rons, “Rosa is dead,” says he. Then 1 went up to a delegate from Tennessee, and mentioned Fowler. “ Fowler is dead,’* says.he. A delegate from West Virginia came in, ami 1 inquired for Van Winnie.. “ Van Winkle Is dead,” says he. • I was getting tired of this, bo 1 asked the next delegate that eamo in how wo* the party. And, ho said he thought the party was dead too.
