?he Life Harp. The noiseless moving hours are brlnginj Changes; ever changes ringing On the harp of life, -whose measures Beat to Bolemn sounds and pleasures. "With low tones of misery mourning, Blowly, sadly, in the morning ; But tne shades of evening stealing O'er us hear its merry pealing. Changing, changing, ever changing, Oh! life harp thy strains are blending Karthly tones with heaven 1}" breathing Holy thoughts with carcs en wreathing O'er earth's wide wilderness it sings Till death with rude hands sweeps th< strings, One wailing song, the harp is broken, * OftAlrilll Its dying noiea mi; otivuj But when the strings are rudely riven The echo sounds afar in heaven And greets the soul just newly corac In welcome to its heavenly home. Thro' the days of our rejoicing, Thro' the days of prayer and fasting, When demon doubts around us sweep In darkening robe3 and bid us weep; When hope, with gentle guiding hand Points upward to the better land, Ita measured murmurs still beat on, As fall the life one by one. Oh! dear life harp, what hand woul< stay Thy fitful music for ono day! One hour, one moment let it be, In life or death 'tis destiny. We would not know when we were bles II ail nours were uuurs ui icoi, Kor would we know the doubts of love If human hearts could never rove. For those who suffer most, love best, Know most, feel most, from out the pas They lessons learn, and memories sad, Of other days make these seem glad. < ? ? Mr. Sumner's Letter. "Washington, July 30.?Mr. Sum ner has written a long letter to i number of colored citizens who latelj addressed him. Mr. Sumner dcclarcj for Greeley. The following is a syn opsis of his etter: He addresses bis correspondents as gentlemen and fel low citizens. He delayed answering " that he might reflect and fully inform himself, lie has listened to much from both sides but his best judgment is now in harmony with his early ??XTrv in fKtt flirt nn.

They dc him ample justice when thoy believe that his counsel at this critical junct ure would be free from personal or partisan prejudice. Mr. Sumner con trasts the two candidates?Greeley was born in poverty and educated himself in a printing office. Grant fortunato in early parentage becarao a cadet at "West Point and was educated at the public expense; one started with nothing but industry and charac rnitK o in? 111??rv nnmmis. tcr, UIU VI/X1U1 lilvu u sion. One was trained as a civillian tho other as a soldier. Horace Gree ley stood forth as a reformer and abo litionist. The President enlisted as r proilavery Democrat, and .at the election of James Buchanan, fortified by his voto all the pretensions of sla very even tho Dred Scott decision Greeley fVom early life was earnesl end constant against slavery, fnll oi sympathy with the colored race, anc always foremosot in the great battl< for their rights. President Grant except as a soldier, summoned by th< terrible accident of war, never die anything against slavery, nor has h< at any time shown any sympathy witl: tho colored race. Horace Greelcj earnestly desired that tbo colored cit ohnnlrl find ablv chamniou cd impartial suffrage, but Presidenl Grapt was on the other sido, Beyond these contrasts which are marked, il cap ?ot be forgotten that Horacc Grealey is a person of large heart and a large understanding trained to sup port numan rights.

Mr. Sumner, then considers * th present position of the two cand dates. .Each was nominiut-u uy Republican Convention; lie lauds th materia! composing tha Cincinnal Convention comparing tho characte of the supporters of tho two candi dates. He says tho country know too well the military ring, the senate rial ring, tho custom house ring through the Prcsidont acts, such suj: porters are a vory poor recommends tion. Ho says it is idle to say tha Hotyco Greeley and the Republican whitih nominated him at Cincinnat are any - loss Republicans becaus nnifpH with thfim in th wpport of cherished principles an ti?e candidate who represents then Mr. Sumner says the hardihood c political falsehood roaches its extrew S>int when it is assorted that unde oraco Greeley, the freed men will b re-enslaved, or that the colorcd pc< pie will in many ways suffer in the: equal rights. On the contrary, the haro in his eioction not only th promise of tho platform, but also th splendid example for a lull generatio durmg-whtch he has never wavcre in the assertion of their, rights. T plaeotf; whero ho can do them th roost good will depart from tho rul of fififTS&hest life is an insult to ror eon.-y-It is none the less idle* to suj poso that Democrats in supportin Horace Greeley oxpect or desire tha he should depart from thoso princ pies which are tho glory of hia chai aeter.

Therefore while justly careful of ; your own rights you cannot be indif ferent to tho blessings of good gov ernment. It is for }'Oii to consider if ? tho time has not come for something better than the sword, and whether a character like Horace Greeley docs not give stronger assurance of good 1 government than can bo found in the insulter of tho colored race already famous for the rings about him, and his plan in aptitudo for civil life. Speaking for myself, 1 have to say t that my vote will be given for Horace Greeley, but in giving it, I do not go ' tn Dprnnr-mtic nartv. nor am I ~ v ^ f an}- loss a Republican.

NORTH CAROLINA. Col. William Johnston, of Charlotte, X. C., was interviewed recently in New York by a correspondent of the New York Herald. Col. Johnston expressed the opinion that the Liberal ticket in North Caroli na would be carried by a majority of S,000. The sentiment of the colored people was for Grant. This was due, he thought, to the influence of Loyal League organizations. Col. Johnston said: "Thero would be no trouble at the South but for the Loyal Legues. They have been the prime cause of all disor ders even in other States than South Carolina. It was Governor Scott's (of South Carolina) assertion that the rifle and ball in negro hands was the only means by which to govern the Southern people, followed by his indiscriminate arming of the negroes as militiamen, that gave birth to the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux was organized as a purely defensive measure against the prompt ings of men like Scott uttered to the negroes; but imprudent rash men in the Ku Klux led to the condemnation of that organization. Instead 01 remain ing a defensive organization their fears, and, perhaps, their spirit of retaliation led them iutoactsof violent aggression, and tor these I myself condemn them as heartily as anybody." "How does the South look upon Grant" "As a bold, though weak and vacilla ting man, whose vacillation renders his boldness dangerous. He has supported State Governments at the South that have been a curse to the South. At the request of vagabond Executives, such as Bullock, Holden and Scott, be has used the military arm where it should never have been interposed, and by sending them armed support whenever they re quested it he enabled them under shad ow of his sanction to carry out many infamous schemes of their own. The Southern people do not like urani ne causo he lifts been regardless of rights both State and Federal?both in the ex ecution and in the framing of laws for the South, He has been harsh in the extreme in these affairs, and they look upon him as a man disposed to exercise at all times the military instead of the civil law. It is, in fact looked upon as a contest between centralization and civil liberty that is to be decided in the coming National campaign; and it is the opinion of the Southern people that if they fail to offer resistance to these measures they will go under, and that when they go under the militarv system the North too will be compelled to suc cumb to the same power. "Why, Colonel, is the South so frank in accepting Mr. Greeley?" "Well, mainly because he has always been so frank with the South. In sla very times he was unwavering in his fight for abolition, and the South knew * * 1 it. Since aDomion nas ocen at-uievuu ho has advocated peace in every form that he could do. Ev?n during the war lie desired to reach peace by the quickest methods, and went to meet Thompson, Tucker and Saunders at Niagara, with that purpose in. view. Again, he held out the olive branch when the war was over, by going bail for Jefferson Davis. And when Lee surrendered, he advo cated universal amnesty and recom mended a liberal reconstruction of the Union- We regard him as a man of noble and generous impulses, against whose integrity and honesty nothing can be imputed.either by either friend or foe. The South will take him because ( he is an honest man, and they know what he means. When he fights he fights, and when he stacks his arms he stacks them, because he wants peace and wants others to enjoy peace with him." "And these are your general views- of the sentiments of the people South ?" "Yes; they are the views as I under stand the people u> express rnem. There is one thing, however, in a gener al way that has struck my attention, and that was the attitude of Stephens and Voorhees in opposing Mr. Greeley. The}- both belong to the old-type Demo cratic school, and their defection has done much good among men of their class by convincing them that there was 110 "sell-out" of the Democratic party in the endorsement of Greeley. The Democratic party did not go over "body and breeches," althoughrVoorhees has sinoe recognized the power of the move ment and accepts the ticket. This will serve to convince many now that the movement is sincere, and that each party is still in existence, though now united in one common eftort." Behind the Scenes.?A leading Re Eublican, says the Charleston Courier, as in preparation, and will shortly issue, a pamphlet showing up the ras calities practiced in carrying through sundry bills in the Legislature. The parts the different State ofllcials took in the matter will be detailed, and their names given; also, what' bribes and amounts were used to make successful sundry iniquitous measures. The au thor expresses himself as heartily sick and disgusted at the rascality that has Knon rrnirH* nn nrul is <li>tr>rminr>d fn expose it. Ye chosen ones stand from under, there's a heavy blow coming tliis time. Ex-Senator Hendricks, the distin guished Indiana statesman, made his opening campaign speech on a recent occasion at Indianapolis. lie advocated tlie cordial uuion of Liberal Republicans and 3)i mocrats, and showed in what respect he considered both Greeley and Brown worthy of support. Greeley's administration he contended would be safe and thrifty. Mr. Hendricks sug gested as the watchword of the Liberal campaigners, "just laws and public vir tue." :he first bale of new cotton. t is Sold at Ninety-threes Cents Per Pound. The first bale of new cotton was re ported by telegraph as having reached jialveston a few days since. A further lispatch from that city says that the jale was sold oil the 16th instant by Fockc Sc Wilson to Richard & Hawkins it ninety-three cents, gold, per pound, rho Ncxv Orleans Times notices the matter as follows: The fancy price of 93 cents gold per pound paid for the first bale of new cot <%r> ,-nri fJnlvoqfnn must have jeen predicated on the premium of $500 }fibred for the first bale by the St. Louis Cotton Association. A bale of 400 nt 93 ;ents gold is equal to about $420 curren cy. If the holder of the bale receive :he $500 prize and then sell at the fancy price of twenty-five cents per pound, he ivill receive $600, showing a profit on he transaction of $180, less transporta ;ion and other charges. But to secure /his he has to run some risks. Had tha weather been clear and warm he might lave been preceded by a bale from Lou siana or Mississippi.

The showery weather, however, ias dispelled their hopes, and we have leard of nothing farther from them on -he subject. "We have little or no doubt that this Texas bale from the Iiio Graude will be :echnically entitled to the St. Louis premium if it be first presented, but rether suspect that, in offering the price, >ur enterprising friends up the river lontemplated cotton from some part of :he wide cotton region to the business of tvhich they aspire, and did not imagine hey would find a competitor for the prize from the borders of Mexico.

Tongue can not describe my suffering; I was re duced almost to a skeleton, and had a perfect loathing of food. I was attend ed by several physicians, who rendered me no relief. I despaired of over being well again; but thanks to a kind Provi dance, I accidentally heard of yourmed. icine. I sent for half a dozen bottles, and before I had taken three I began to feel better, my appetite improved, and the rheumatic pains became less severe and I could enjoy sleep. I have contin ued its use, and have taken eleven bot ties, and believe I am a sound man again. The ulcers have all healed, my skin is smooth and healthy, and I have gained 22 pounds in weight.

A Debt of Two Million Dollars lNNULLED.?The Columbia correspon ent of the Charleston News writes: Judge Willard announced his decision >day in the case of the State ex rela ioue Edwin F. Gary, auditor, vs. Park r and others, State and county treasur rs. This is the Blue Ridge scrip case, 'he decision is very lengthy, and en irely satisfactory to the plaintifife. The ct of Assembly under which the scrip ras issued is pronounced null and void, s contravening the clause of the Con titution of the United States prohibit ng the States from issuing bills of cred ;; and the injunction heretofore granted gainst the receipt of the scrip for taxes nd the issuing of it is sustained, and emains of fullforce. The counsel in lie case were Pope and Haskell for the IaintifFs, Magrath, Melton and Cham erlain for the defendants. The amount aved the State is something over two lillion dollars. The opinion of Judge Villard concludes as follows: "Consid ring the act in its entire aspect, as well s its integral parts, it is clear that the iegislature intended that the scrip hould circulate as money, and that for his reason the provisions of the act au liorising the issue of scrip are in conflict ?ith the prohibitions or the Constitu ion of the United States as to the emis ion of bills of credit by States. The ct being unconstitutional, it is void, lo far as it contemplates the issue of cvenue bond scrip it is unimportant, herefore, to inquire whether the scrip hat was actually issued was conforma ble to, and anthorized by, the act. The njunction heretofore issued must be ontinued until the final hearing and ;etermination of the action."

A great variety of dis orders arise from its irritation, among which are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh.

Their sugar-coating preserves them ever Ircsli, and makes them pleasant to take, wttto being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by thelrpowerlhl influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action?remove the obstructions of the stomacn, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de rangements as are the first origin of disease. Minute directions are given In the mapper on the box, for the following complaints, which tbeee PWa rapidly cure:? For DyipejMla or Zediyeedw, new, Liuiffnor and Xmmm of App?HW, thqy should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom ach, and restore its healthy tone and action. For JLiver Complaint and its various symp toms, Bilious Hcadocbe, Sick Head ache, jMMltce or 6r*?a Slcfaaew, Ml* lou Colic and Billou JPevora, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which cause it.
