In the world I've gained iuj' knowledge, Aud for it I've had to pay, Though I never went to college, Yet I've heard the poets say Life is like a mighty river, Rolling on from day to day, Men are vessels launched upon it, Sometimes wrecked and cast away. Clio. -So, then, do your best for one another, Making life a plcajsaot dream, Help a worn aud weary brother Pulling hard agaiust the stream. Many a bright, good-hearted fellow, Many a noble-minded man, Finds himself iu water shallow ; Then, assist him, if you can. Some succeed at every turning, Fortune favors every scheme, Others, too, though more deserving, Have to pull against the stream. If the wind is in your favor, And you've weathered every squall, Think of those who luckless labor, Never get fair winds at all : Working liard, contented, willing, Struggling through life's ocean wide : Not a friend, and not a shilling, Pulling hard agains the tide. Don't give way to foolish sorrow Let this keep you iu good cheer ; Brighter da may come to-morrow, If you try and pe rsevere , Darkest nights will have a morning, Though the sky be overcast ; Longest lanes must have a tuniing, And the tide will turn at last. SPEECH OF SENATOR MORTON. On Saturday nt;:ht, April 8th, Senator Mortou was serenaded at the National Hotel, in Vashio:tont by the Indiana Republican Association aud other resident Republicans. Presideut Grant, Vice President Colfax and several Indiana de legates, appeared at the balcony, and were loudly cheered. Representative Wil liama read a scries of resolutions, plcdg i otr fealty to aud confidence in the inte grity of the Republican party; depreca ting any attempt to disunite the organiza tion ; expressing hearty and sincere ap proval of the course and policy that have marked the administration of the Geucral Government during the past two ears ; rccoguizing in President Grant one who has proved himself true to his promises to the people aud to the great principles of the 'Republican party ; thanking Sena tor Morton for his devotiou to Ilepubli can principle?, aud referring with pride and pleasure to the course of Vice Presi dent Colfax, after which Senator Morton spoke substantially as follows: The Southern people are committed to slavery, because they have declared that slavery was wrongfully and illegally abolished. The result of such a policy would be the disfranchicsment of the col ored people, taking from them the right of suffrage. They would be able to dis franchise the colored man in GO days. They would do it now were it not that the Governmcot is in the hands of Re publicans. Having the military power, they would drive the colored meu from the polls, or vote their disfranchisement. If not, they would reduce them to slavery or to serfdom. What are to be the issues in 1872 ? It is said in the Senate that the Reconstruction acts are of no more effect than if passed by a mob or a town meeting, and that the amendments are fraudulent. The Democrats have never accepted these amendments, with the ex ception here and there of a newspaper like the New York World, which is wiser than most of its friends. The Democra tic party, North and South, are unani mous against suffrage and civil rights to the colored people. Another poiut is, shall Republicans in the South live in peace and be protected in life, liberty and property ? This is a great question. They are struggling for this protection to day. The Democrats 6ay that they ore against National bauks, yet they would not restore the old State baoks. They say they are for free trade, yet they do not say that money to sup port the Government shall be raised by direct taxes. They are not jn harmony with the tariff. The Democrats are in favor of high duties where there is any thing to protect, and free trade every where else laughter, but they dare not carry it out in its results. Although our distinguished Chief Magistrate is here, I can safely say we have uot had a better Administration in half a century, if we ever had a better odc. We may, how ever, have had as good. When the Re public was smaller I ban it is now, every de partment w:is administered with ability, integrity and success. Under this Ad ministration we have funded the debt at a lower rate of interest than the old bonds, aod the prospect is the new bonds will soou be subscribed to their full limit. In 25 months $201,0U0,000 .of the public debt have been paid off. An annual in terest of S12.000.000 his thus been sav ed. During these 25 months Congress has repealed taxes to the extent of over 383,000,000, and by retrenchment in every part of the Government large sums of mouey have been saved, which have hitherto been squandered ; ard by a sue cescful and honest enforcement ot the re venue laws a larger sum Iras collected roQj uniller taxations than under pre vious Administrations, and the work will still go ou. At the next session the Re- publ icans will make further reduction, and modify the tariff in important parti culars. I voted against the repeal of the in come tax because I thought the time had not arrived for it, but if the Administra tion goes on with the same success in the future as in the past, I believe we shall repeal it at the next session. We cannot do everything at once ; we do not pretend that we can repeal all taxes, because the public credit must be maiutaiued, and the Government supported. Our Democra tic friends say they can abolish all taxes and carry on the Government by a sound policy wc cannot do that. The President has proved faithful to every principle of the party. He is a greater Radical to-day thau some of those who started before him. He is not a Johnson, a Fillmore, or a Tyler. He is carrying out in good faith the principles on which he was elected, and as long as he does that he cannot be beateo dowu. Look at the Injian policy of President I Grant. It is the peace, kindness and ' 1 "11- . 1. r goou win inauguraieu oy iwiam i eun. Not ia a hundred years has there been so much quiet among the Indian tribes as there is to day. His paths are paths of peace, and though in trying to preserve the peace of a neighboring Republic he has been arraigned as a criminal ; he has been acquitted by public opinion. Those who attempted to impeach him of high crimes aud misdemeanors have impeach ed themselves of supreme folly. Several weeks ago the Democrats took great courage at the election -in New Hamp shire. They recorded it a9 au evidence of a reaction in their behalf, and as un evidence that the Republican party is dy ing. The result was owing to local dis sensions and the apathy which follows the continuation of triumphs. Rut wc have had another clcctiou. It was in in Connecticut. You have doubtless heard of it. The State has been very close for a good while, but the Ilepubli caus showed the Democracy they counted without their host. The people do not intend to put the Government into the hands of that party which nearly brought ruin to the coun try. So far from the Republican party being in a state of decay, it is full of life, aud will have a victory in 1872. If there should be an election in Indiana to mor row, the State would be carried by the Republicans by a majority of 10,000 votes. In the election of 1S72 they will not forget the services of our soldiers and their glorious leader. They have not forgotten the principles of that party that can save the country, and they have not forgotten the heroes who led our our army to victory. In conclusion Senator Mor ton said there were present distinguished frieuds whom the crowd would be jrlad to hear, among them the Vice President from his own State, a gentleman who presides over the Senate with distinguish ed ability, and representatives from In diana who had faithfully served the coun try for years. One word about the Dis trict of Columbia. It was said in the Senate that the Republicans had shown their distrust for colored suffrage by pas sing the bill establishing a Territorial Government. There was not a word of truth in this. For the first time, the people here were empowered to elect their Legislature and make their own laws, and elect their delegate to Congress. The Democratic party, during long years of rule never conceived the idea, of self government for the people of this Dis trict. It must be remembered that this is the gift of the Republican party. The last lingering argument of Democrats is an appeal to the white people to raise prejudice against color. That had been their meat and drink for the last 30 years, but he was glad to learn that their rations had nearly exhausted. Redeeming; the 6 per cent Stat3 Loan. The State Treasurer gives notice that, uotil further directed, he will purchase for redemption the 5. 10 series of the G per cent, loau of the Commonwealth, on presentation at the Farmers' & Mechanics' Dank in Philadelphia, at a premium of 3 per cent, and accrued interest. This series of the loan is redeemable on the 1st of February next, and its payment is anticipated in order to relieve the Treasury of its prescsnt unproductive surplus. The amount of this loan is five millions of dollars, and is nearly nil held in this country. Ry the last exhibit made of the condition of the Treasury, the unappro priated balance was somewhere between one and a half and two millions of dollars. This amouut will probably be doubled by the receipts of 1871 ; so that it is fair to calculate that the Treasury will be iu condition to pay off two thirds of the en tire loan bj' the time it matures Hold ers will therefore see the advantage of surrendering their bonds now, while they may obtain a premium of o per cent., as alter the period of maturity, which is ne-nr at hand, they will be paid at par. The State would like to pay its G per cent, war loan, but just at present this cannot be done without paying in coin, that loau having been created before the passage of the legal tender law, February, 1S62. Two Irishmen, disputing about their pedigree, suggests the best idea of re spectable pedigree. 'My ancestor," sard one Paddy, "was an invited guest in- the ark." "To the divil wid yer oil," re jo'ued his fellow-Hibernian ; "I'd hev ye to onderstand that my progenitor had a boat of bis owu." The Umpire's Decision. The umpire, to whom was referred cer tain poiuts in reference to the control of the collieries, upou which poiuts the arbi trators hero present, chosen respectively by the operators and miners, have failed to agree, makes the following report : First. The right of au owner or lessee and operator ot a colliery to the entire aud exclusive control and management of his works is guaranteed to him by the law of the laud, aud is ol such au unques tionable character that it ought not to be iuterferred with cither directly or indi rectly. Second. The umpire concurs with and adopts as a correct statement of the law i that part of the late proclamation of the Executive of this Commonwealth, where iu he says that it is uulawlul for any per son or association of persous, by violence, threats or other coercive mcaus to pre ! vent any laborers or miners from work ing when they please, lor whom they please aud at such wages as they please, aud alike uuluwiul by such violence or threats to deter or prevent the owners or operators of mines from employiug whom soever they may choose to employ, aud at such wages as may be agrceU upon be tween the employers aud the persons em ployed. .ihiid. It is the uudoubted right of men to refuse to work except upon such terms us shall be agreeable to them, but a general understanding that no person of laborers shall work for any operator who has iu his employ a member of such association who has uot paid his dues to the association, or who does not belong to such association, is contrary to the pol icy of the law, and subversive of the best interests of the miners aud their employ ers. Au association may inflict fiucs up ou its members lor breach of its by-laws u,nd expel lor nou pay meu t, but it has no right, by combined action, to place the detaulter iu the light of an outlaw iu -the transaction of business with others. Fourth. The umpire decides that it is coutrary. to the spirit of the law, as stat ed secondly above, for a body of meu to agree not to work because their employer refuses to employ a particular person, or because he has discharged such person. If such a case arises where the act of the operator is deemed to be oppressive, aud he refuses to redress the wrootr. it is a proper oue for local arbitration, by which, iu most cases, the difficulty could be pro perly settled without the disastrous con sequences arising both to the employers auU employed by a strike even at one colliery. Fifth. As persons of sound miud and competent age are permitted by law to bargain lor themselves, their contracts in regard to labor at the mices should be held as sacred as other contracts, aud should not be aunulled or set aside in any mauuer different from that provided for other cases. Interference by persons uot parties to the contract is uot to be tolera ted. Sixth. Operators ought not iu any man ner to combine against persons who be long to the Miuers' and Laborer's Rene volent Association. Any operator who refuses to employ a person because he is so connected, or who shall discharge him for that reason, wunld thereby give good ground for censure and for other mem bers to refuse to work for him. Seventh. No member of the M. and L. Dencvolcnt Association ought to be deprived of work because of his being selected by his branch to perform the du ties mentioned in section 8, article 10. of the by laws of that association, if his duties are performed in the mauner there iu mentioned. Eighth. In regard to the right claim ed by the miners to cease work when they see cause, whether in a body or otherwise, it is impossible to lay down any rule, and I am not aware that is expected of me to uo so. but I may be allowed to recom mend that after resumption again takes place, and business is agaiu moving iu itsj accustomed channels, immediate steps be j taken to provide for the adjustment of; difficulties, if any shall arise iu future be-! fore they reach the disatrous proportions: of those which now inflict not only the! laborers and operators, but the whole! country. j Ninth. Whenever it is stated in the' foregoing report that an act is unlawful,! is ceusurable or ought not to be, it is to be understood iu the same nianuer as if' the umpire had awarded that such actj shall not be doue nor allowed by either! oi me panics represcntcu in mis aioita tion.

Speaking of the depression of business of all kinds, and the compiaiuts thereof which proceed from ull quarters, the Providence Star believes there is a rem edy for the sluggish state of things which almost everybody has a chance, in a greater or less degree, to oppl.v. " It costs too much," it says, " to do business." Every thing is on too expensive a scale. Wo are on the froth of shoddy, instead of on the hard pan of real life.- During the war every thing became fictitious, prices aug mented rapidly, and money was coined so freely by every body that no one cared what he might have to pay. As time ha rolled on business has fallen into narrowed channels, and there is none of this piling up of money and profits we have alluded to. Put people will not recognize this iac, out nou on to the liigh prices. None but the very rich can staud the pressure ; others feel the effects of the change, yet Hesitate to take the step to extrieattf themselves. There must be a fall in prices ; recta arc enormous, and where two or three thousand dollars are a rental, it must take a heavy business at good profits to meet it and pay other expenses and live. Extravagance rules the hour, wc fear our people are Ephraims joined to their idols; and will hug them until a grand eras shall come and sweep away the artificial aud meretricious state of things now exist ing. We have talk of specie payments as a panacea it is only talk. If paper and specie were at a level, things would be no .better. The trouble is deeper than paper; mouey. It comes from attempting to keep up the prices, habtia and customs of wartimes. Wheu this fact iyseenand men are willing to accept the inevitable snnntuge ot values necccssary for stated business, hard times will disappear, and a twelve month will see a reorganized aud, recuperated industry' The Washington monument. Recorder Wolf, of Washington, has published an address to the Jewish ladies of the United States to complete or to as sist to complete the Washington morr umcnt in that city. "What a gloriouy thing," he says, "it would be were the Jewish ladies of the United States to finish a work that stands now in its hide ousnes3 a disgrace to the capital. Wo. owe it to the great add good man a? Americans ; we owe it more as Jews, for his services gave us religious freedom." Speaking od the same subject the Capital says : The unfinished mounment is peculiarity natural to America. Our land is covered with unfinished mounments A greateful people staft out with intense enthusiasm, lay a cornerstone with im posing ceremonies and a bore of an ora tion, and then disperse; the monument thus begun may gat a- foundation, tut that is all. Sometimes this foundation is built into view, but most generally not. k This monument to the Father of his Couutry ought to make an exception, andj wc trust that it will. Important Decision-. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania hasdecided (Judg Sharswood delivering the opinion-that a purchaser at Sheriff's sale is not bound to look beyond the judgment docket to ascertain whether the entries thereon are properly made by authoit', and that where there is a defective entry of judg ment, or an uuauthorir-jd entry of a fac tion, the prothonotary is liable for damages totheparty injured. Hence, where the pro--thonotary, without the authority of th Court, eutered on docket against a judg ment, satisfied Ji. fa , it was held that the entry was perfectly regular and conclusive as to third persons to whom the judgmcut itself regularly docketed, was conclusive uotice, and that it was not necessary to search further and ascertain whether there was a record of an order of the Court dircctiug such satisfaction. A ludicrous scene happened at place of William the First after his (ha re ar turn to Rerlin. The Emperor has enormous Newfoundland dog, which he did not take with him to France. When William entered for the first time after his return the hall way leading to his private apartmeuts, the huuc, auimal, cognizing his voice, rushed ttnon ro- tha Emperor, and, in its impetuous jo7, oc- tually threw William the Firt oa tha floor. The Emperor rose smilingly and caressed the dog. 3 The Germans in New York, Raltimora and the other largo cities clebrated the conclusion of peace cn Monday of last, week by grand parades, public meetings and other ceremonies. In New York there was a mammoth procession and the display is said to havo been the finc?t ever wituesed iu that city. In every place banners, flowers aud other decora tions marked the course of the proces sions, and the demonstratious" were of tho most enthusiastic character. Some go to church for a walk, Some go lo church for a talk, Some go there to gain a friend. Some go there their faults to mend, Some go there to see the fashions. Some go there to calm their passions, Some go there to seek a lover, Sme go there their faults to cover, Some go there to doze and nod, And some go there to worship God.
