Orphan hours, tho yoar is dead, Como and sigh, oorno and weep, Merry hours smile instead, For tho year is but asleep; Seo, it smiles as it is stooping, Mocking your untimely weeping. As an earthquake rooks a corpse, And its collin in the day, So white winter, that rough nurse, ''oaks thc dead-cold year to-day. Solomo hours] wail aloud, I'V your mother in her shroud. As tho wild air stirs cud sways Tho tree swung cradle of a ohild, So the breath of thoso rude days Hooks tho year; bo oalm and mild Trembling hours; she will arise With now lovo witina her oyes.

Second. Resolved, that the Qovornmcnt of tho United StP.tos and tho governments of tho sovorai States are distinot, and each has citizens of its a Wu who owe it allegiance, ind whoso righto within its jurisdiction it might protect; that tho Government, of tho United States ?8 OOO of delora ted powers alono.

Third. Resolved, That the Constitution )f tho United 8 titos has not conferred tho right of suffrngo upon any ooo, aud tho United States Havo no voters of their own sieation in States; but the lfi.th amendment of tho Constitution has invested citizens of tho United States with a DOW constitutional right whioh is exemption from discrimina tion in tho exercise of thcclectivo franohiBO on account of raoo, color or previous ooudi tion of servitude, and it is within tho juris diction of the Government of the United States, whioh Congress way oxort by appro priated legislation to prevent the denial or abridgemout by u Statu of the right of n citizen to vote, when suoh denial or abridge* mont is ou account of race, or color, or previous condition of servitude of the voter.

In tho United States Supreme Court (J. DcTrcvillc vs. Robt. Smalls) a suit was instituted to recover possession of land in Beaufort, S.
