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!

Remedy for Eard Times.
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'
