, THE DYING GIHL'S FAREWELL.
Willie dearest, I am dying,
* Soon, ob .' soon I shall be gone ;
And the birds will chant ray requiem
In the Spring time's early bloom.
Yes, dear Willie, I must leave yon:
We have been so happy here;
But if angels gnard their loved ones,
I will aver hoTer near.
I will ever guard your footsteps,
When in danger's path yan tread;
Whisper words of hope and comfort,
When in grief you bow your head.
Dearest Willie, I've been dreaming
Of the past, the happy past;
And the roseate tints still linger
'Round those hours that could not last.

Ever 'round my path, dear Willie,
Since first we met, your love baa shone ;
And the roaea in love's garland,
Twined by yon, were wine alone.
Ju».t two years ago I met you ;
Met you in the festal halls;
Aud o'en now, with mournful cadence,
Ou my ear sweet music falls.
Willie, you will not forget me
When I reat beneath the aod :
When this heart has ceaaed its beating,
And my spirit dwells with God.
Tbo' when time has soothed your anguish,
And my lone grave the violets hide,
The voico of love your heart shall waken,
And you may seek another bride.
Yet when fairy fingers linger
In your locks with soft caress,
You will thiuk of pale hands fulded,
Which your own once fondly pressed.
I am dying now, dear Willie,
Kaiso my head upon your breast;
Promise that you'll meet me, Willie,
In that bliasful land of rest.
Hark ! with strains of sweetest music,
Augels woo mo to their home ;
At Heaven's gate I'll wait, dear Willie ;
Watch and wait nntil you come.

Facts for Working Men.
From the St. Louis RepubHcau.
It is the settled opinion of all ob-serving
men that the office holding
portion of the radical faction have be-come
bolder, more graspiug and un-scrupulous,
in their plundering of the
people every year since they came into
power. But let as suppose that they
are no worse than they were five years
ago, when the yet retained a trifle of
their original innocency; still, their
crimes are great enough to make every
honest mau detenniue to hurl them
from the places they are abusing.
More thau four years ago, the Hon.
Freeman Clark, late comptroller of the
treasury, in a letter to Senator Mor-gan,
dated December 24, 1867, said :
'•The honest lax payers are now pay-ing
upon a basis of revenue of about
nine hundred millions of dollars jwr
annum, while not more than one-half
of that sum finds its way into the
treasury. Statistics of the manufac-tures,
productions, &c, of the country
prove that if the tax to which they
were subjected were fairly collected,
and the Mime rule applied to our cus
torn duties, the income or revenue
would amount to about the sum named
above—#900,000,000. And special
commissioner Wells in his report for
1868, p. 24, says : "The commissioner
in both of his previous reports has
given it as his opinion, and adduced
(acts in support of the same, that not
over fifty per cent, of the amount of
the assessed internal revenue taxes is
received into the national treasury."
Now add to these astounding bets,
"which nobody will deny," the interest
iog calculation made by the late edi-tor-
of the Rochester Daily Union, and
the working man will see what it cost
to uphold the radical dynasty.
The public debt is, say $2,500,000,-
000. The average price i>er day for
unskilled labor in this country, when
the currency was iu a sound condition,
taking the whole year into account,
was about one dollar. Calliug from
20 to 00 years of age the effective pe-riod
of nan, nnd taking the English
ceosofl for authority for the fact that
oue-hnlf the number of men who reach
20 years live to be 60, (in England
54.60 per cent., here the average is
something less), we have the principal
data for an interesting calculation.—
On this basis, 20 years constitute the
average working life of all men who
attain to adult age. The average
number of day's work per mau, allow-ing
for casualties, sickness, weather,
holidays, rest, &c., is estimated at
250 a year. The annual charge for in-terest
on our debt is officially stated in
round numbers at $130,000,000. On
the authority of Messrs. Wells and
and Clarke add an equal sum for frauds
and cost of collection, and we have
$260,000,000 a year. This sum, on
the basis of average figures, is equiva-lent
to the same number of days' work,
and taking 5,000 days as the average
total working days of the laboring
man (36 years of 250 working days
each! and the snm is equivalent to the
life wages of 52,000 men ! Iu other
words the lives of 26,000 men are vir-tually
sacrifled every year to pay the
contrast of the great Seneca Gift-En-terpriser
:
Back of the capital, on Marshal
street, stands a large residence, oue of
the finest in Virginia. It occupies a
commanding position, known as l'res-ident
Hill. This house was built many
years ago by a wealthy gentleman
named Brockeubrough. He aspired
to have the most costly and beautiful
residence and surroundings in Rich-mond,
and to that end Spared neither
money nor pains. The grounds were
laid out in beantiful style, traversed
by graveled walks, ami adorned by
statuary and fountains.
When the capitol of the Confedera-cy
was removed from Montgomery to
Richmond the council here proposed to
do something handsome fur "president
Davis," sc they bought the Bracken-brough
residence, with the intention
o*' presenting it to him. When he ar-rived
here from Montgomery the city
authorities had gone so far as to pay
for the property, aud bad the title ves-ted
in Mr. Davis. A formal presen-tation
of the property was then made
by the city council, when, much to
their surprise and mortification, ho re-spectfully
yet firmly refused the pres-ent.
He warmly thanked the author-ities
in his behalf, yet be could not,
consistent with his own self respect
and the dignity of his office, accept
the gift. The city, however, refused to
take the property back, ami for a time
there was a quandary. Mr. Davis,
however, held out firmly, and at last
I the matter was compromised by an
agreement on the part of the city to
become the owner of the property, aud
an agreement by Davis to five in it
during his term of office. His term
was cut off by the operations of the
Federal army, ami has never been fil-ed
out. The property now belongs to
the city, nnd is used for school purpo-ses.
I don't wish to draw any contrast
between the conduct of Jeff. Davis
and Grant iu the matter of" accepting
houses and lots as gifts, but the read
er can do that for himself.
After gazing at the rectangular,
three storied, stuccoed pile before
mentioned, thinking of the hopes and
fears, disappointments, sorrows and
joys that must have successively in-habited
the bieast of the rebel Presi-dent
while he inhabited the city's
three story house, I passed on to take
a look at the residence occupied by
General Lee during the war, and yet
known as the "Lee house." It is u
plain, unpretending, three-story brick
building, No. 707 Franklin street,
and is now occupied by Mrs. George
Davis. Whether it was the property
of Lee or not I do not know, but at ail
event* he occupied it: At the begin-ning
of the war a number of wealthy
citizens of Richmond made up a hand-some
sum of money to buy General
Lee a house suited to his station and
rank. But he refused to accept the
proffered present, and the money was
refunded to the subscribers. Here we
have two instances of refusals lo ac
cept houses antl lots by two of the
prominent men in the late Confedera-cy.
In the light of our President's
conduct, these two old Confederates
were great fools.
Impoverishment of the South.
"It is only now and then, and by in-direct
ways, that we get a vivid light
ttrown npon the ghastly wounds cut
into the body of tbesuffering South by
the two edged sword of war losses anil
carpet-bag iniquities. Sums total do
*£Fcffff> becan»e the people
stunned by their presentation. So
we have only a faint realising sense of
what is meant by the fact that State

of $618,232,387, in 1870 was as-sessed

can see something of the terrible state
of General
Grant has signally failed in the per-formance
of its high duties; that it
has governed for the benefit ofa party,
aud a section, and not for the good of
the whole; that the President has
neglected his duties iu the pursuit of
pleasure; that he has practiced nep
otism to an unprecedented and odious
extent; that ho has received gifts, to which

MR. GBBEXET'S OPPOSITION TO
GRANT.—Horace Grt-eley is a great
deal more earnest and determined in
his opposition to the renomination of
Gea. Grant than most people suppose.
or than has yet appeared Iron: any-thing
helms written in the Trihiuic.
In conveisation on the subject he ex-presses
himself with all hischaracteris.
tic pungency. He says it is no sham
fight in which he is engaged, but a real
Struggle, in which he "fires bullets,"
aud iu which his side must either win
or be crushed. At present he can only
indulge in a sort of a bushwhacking,
owing to tho nature of the ground,
the condition of the roads, the state
of the weather, aud the fact that the
forces ou his side are not yet in hand
or order, bnt very soon all the forces,
cavalry, infantry, artillery and horse
mariue—.vill be brought into action,
fie says he neither expects to support
Grant nor a Democratic candidate, but
expects to uphold and vote lor a Re-publican
who will defeat Grant, either
in the convention or at the polls. • •
He looks forward with lively hope to
the Cincinnati Couvciition^iu which
he expects to take part.—If. Y. Cor.

Political Credentials-—Among the
credentials of the defaulting State
Agent Evans was one from State
Treasurer Kemball toE. J. Coffey,Esq.
Washington, as follows :
"Allow me to introduce to you my
particular friend, Mr. (leo.o! Evans.
He has a claim of some magnitude
which he wishes yon to help him in.—
Pnt him through as yon would me.
He understands, addition.division and
silence."—Philadelphia Age.
The Rochester 'Union, says that
Grant has done as much toward reduc-ing
the national debt as the brass .noz-zle
on the cowcatcher on an engine
does toward drawing a train.
Public Robbery in South Caro-lina.
The opposition iu the South Caroli-na
Legislature threatening to over-throw
the supremacy of Scott in the
affairs of that Slate seems to have
ended, as the carpet-baggers and ig-norant
negroes who make laws in Col-umbia
have just passed a bill intended
to confirm ail the illegal operations of
the new candidate for the second place
on the Grant ticket, and at the same
time exempt him and his confederates
from punishment for their unblushing
robbery of the people.
Since the close of the war nearlv
$11,000,000 has been added to the debt
of South Carolina, according to the
report of the Congressional Ku klux
Committee, aud less than one-tenth of
this enormous ami unt of money has
been spent (or legitimate purposes.—
The State Treasurer last year issued
two or three millions of illegal bonds
which he sold MI Wall street at forty
cenls on the dollar; blithe prudently
avoided appearing before tue Congres-sional
committee to explain what he
had done with the money.
The bill just passed by the Legisla-ture
makes rand all the bunds and ob-ligations
issued in behalf of tho State,
ratifies nnd confirms all the issues, and
pledges the faith, credit, and funds of
the State for their payment. The.bill
also exonerates the officers who issued
tho bonds from all legal responsibility
for any violation of law and good faith
of which they may have been guilty—
a proceeding which is of itself a con-fession
of the rascality which has
characterized the proceedings of ihe
Scott gang. A section of the bill pro-viding
that there should be no further
increase of the debt except by vote of
the people was stricken out.
It will be remembered that the office-holders'
Convention which elected del-egates
to the Philadelphia Convention
passed resolutions endorsing the offi-cial
course of Scott and Grant. This
was eminently consistent, as the sup
porters of the two men in South Car-olina

of the Governor.
The examination of the Penitentia-ry
convicts who engaged in the revolt
on Thursday, is going on, at the Pen-itentiary.
Up to last night seven
witnesses had bf en examined. All of
them concur in the statement that ar-rangements
had beeu made for a gen-eral
uprising of the inmates, but for
want of concert of action the plan mis-carried.
They further state, the cause
of the revolt was information which
had come through the nurses at the
Hospital that the Governor had stated
publicly that if the convicts were to
endeavor to escape, the Guard would
not be justifiable in shooting, and if
they did shoot and kill any of the con-victs,
that he, the Governor, would
have the guard hung for murder.—

A disconsolate editor thus bemoans
his departed spouse :
"Thus my wife died : Xo more will
those loving hands pull off my boots
and part my back hair, as ouly a true
wife can: nor will ever those willing

and hie herself away to build the fire,
without disturbing the slumbers ol

body, but I found that I could embalm
her memory cheaper. I procured ol

death ; but she rallied last Spring and

upon her tombstone : "To the

drought in nearly all the wheat grow-ings
sections of the South, whilst all
his neighbors crops were rained by
rest, his escaped by the useof ashes.
He considers it an infallible cure for
the rust, and that be has found it the
means of preventing rust in four out of
live of his ciops. Xo doubt the ashes
will be found a most valuable manure
for this and almost all other crops,
and il in addition then to.' hey will pre-vent
the rust also, it "ill be more than
