'Mid the tumult, the hurry. the mfiadness
Of the strifes that convulse you to-dayL
Midthe echoes of frantidal gladholass.

Are ye deaf to the tempest which sunders .
The last ties that bind us to faith,
Aro deaf to the roll of the'thunders
" 'Forruahning the blackness of death ?
'Tis true that they-bear but a distant
Faint menace from lands of despair;
Where the Spirit once proudly resistant,
liath sighed its last gasp on the air;
Bpt a. F4to mutters low i1 that garning,
And the South-winds are ,laden with
ddoin--;
Aye ! ernali the wild omen with zoorning I
Aye! dance on the verge of your tomb!
Ye have swathed us with cloud..palls of sor
rows,
Your-brentlh was thebreath of Siinoons
Yo have stolen all light from our norrows,
And withered our freshest heanrtblooms
But the Hates your blind fury bath planted,
The dragon's teeth sown in your ire,
As. from heat of Bell's furrows enchanted,
Grow warm, and burst upward in Are I
Armed warrior-denions of ravage,
Unquelled by aspell or an art,
Fierce, monstrous. untainnbly savage,
And.thirsting for blood fiom the heart
.YouiChearts thatare t'uddy and swollen,
Not ours, so drained and so cold-,
With' no food bitt those memories olden
Of a tale that long since bath been told.
Do ye think to escape. 0 ! my mast ers,- ?
Do ye'say,'tis a dream ofaick thought-, ?
A night.mnrt of plantasmalsdis'asters

'How swift.ly fate's cohorts unite,

The- Panean Man-Milliner.
A Paris'letter, dated the 21st ultiuw,
says:
A soandal of the hour is the entertain
ment given by Worth, the uan-milliner, it
his chateau In Suresnes, a village over
looking the Bois do Boulogno. It did not
arise from the insolent luxury of his cha.
teau. This is unbearable to many per.
4M.
The chateau consists of five buildings, I
each added seemingly to the other as the
master's wealth increased. The extensive
grounds have almost as many capricious
excuses for spending money as Stowe, the
Duke of Dwokingham's estate. There are
ltrraces, iumner-houses, bridges, pagodas,
filled with bronzes, porcelains, old armor
or summer-houses or pagodas, statues and
rases for bridges and terraces.
The tables of the house are covered with
he most expensive cashmere shawls. The
irms of the chairs are covered with the.
Costliest laces. The scandal consists in his
nviting the very same ladies invited to
3ompiegne, and in their accepting his invi
ation; They durst not do otherwise.

rith the alacrity with which his invitations
rere accepted. But people with retentive
nennries will recall the embarrassment
ith which fnshionahle society was thrown

RAnto.r.t QUARsLIo.--The Washing
ton correspondent of the Now York Her.ld
ruder dato of the 18th instant, says :
Tho first fissure in the disentegration of
the tadcal party was displayed to-day, in
the wild writhings of the Pacific Railroad
rings over the exposures of a Cinolnnati
Radical paper of the conceded corruption
in and out of Congress in regard to the
granting of subsidies to Wosterrw road', and
in regard to the attempted Rile of lands
enough to form Whole tlates by the Interior
Department, to certain speculators for a
mre song. These swindles have been the
object of General Grant's denunciation
within and for the whole of a month past.
They received attention ini Mr. Washburne's
speech in the House, when he admitted that
his party exceeded in corruption and scoun
drels any other party ever born. These
statements, fortified by proofs, 'a Western
correspondent reproduced in the paper in
question. That correspondent and paper,
and the Now York Tribune, which copied
hid letter, were made the viutims to-day over
whose shoulders General Grant and Mr.
Washburne were lashed in the most abusive
and violent manner by the retained sona.
Lora of the railroad rings before mentioned.
t was an exhibition which shocked and
startled the ninny Republican leaders who
have sought to give a pause to the rank
3orruption characterizing their party on
railroad legislation. For more than two
tours did Harlan, Pomeroy and Conness
inblushingly defend these' railroad grants
tnd land sales which the President elect has
icelared will, if contmnued, ruin the 1ppub
ican party. Under the pretext of assailing
iewspapors which have but sympathized
rith Grant's desire to stop this torrent of
Corruption, these senators foully assailed
hat representation of the faqts for which
)rant has made himself responsible to the
ountry. The assault on the papers was
inly a cover behind whibh were gathered all
he force of the consolidated rings against
ho purposes of the President elect. In
rain did Trumbull, Conklin, and Morton,
tud other senators try to silence the fetid
y interruptions of other measures. The
ailroad senators had their say out. ;defend
d the swi ndles of the past and quoted
hem as the acts of the purty and
a the nets whileh would, mark its future.
omeroy says there are twelve more rail
ond bills, filled to the brim with subsides,
rhich are to be reported and passed this
ossion. These subsidies the best men in
ho party are bent on defeating for, the par
y's salvation sake. To.day the- gauntlet
ras thrown down by the railroad Congress
ten, that no railroad grants should be do.
eated, but all should be added on to the
ivisions which impeachment, civil fehure,
egro suffrage, financial affairs and whiskey
hieving are participating within the party.

t DEAR SIR:-Understanding that the cont.

the Inaugural Ball, I venture to drop you a
line, to say that if any choice is left to me,
I do not wish to disarrange any plans made

attending the inauguration, but in this
matter it will be agreeable to mue if your

unnecessary.

'nip. NExr CROr.-Cotton.is a royal arti
ele in the world's commerce: at present, it
- connands a royal price. We deem it pro.
- per to throw out a suggestion upon the next
crop. From all we can learn, more than
ever, our planters have in view to plant cot
ton almost exclusively. It is a dangerous
experiment. Every planter should, at
least, have in view to raise hit own bread
stuffs. The scarcity of corn andi bacon en
hancos the price of labor. Labor, for tho
last twelve months, has advanced tat least
20 per cent. in value. 1he iiegriO is distp
pearing, nobody know-, whore, and white
labor does not, as yet, take his place. The
white man will pause before ie comes, as a
laborer, to a country not well supplied with
beef and grain. Even at the present price
of negro labor, the Nlhito liaboe'r wouhl.i not
be willing to compete. If labor is to con
tinue scarce, and the price of labor to ad.
vance steadily by the inoreace of the rur.
face in cotton, it is doubtful if the planter
will be remunerated, suflioiently, by ihe
probable advance in the price of the great
staple. In all probability, the price of the
bulk of the present crop is the maximum
the staple '-ill attain. 'rte single article of
bacen now exhausts, to a large extent, the
wanges of the colored laborer and the profits
of the enloer.
These matt era should ho well-considered
itn t'ontection with pitching another crop.--.
It should not be forgotten, too, that the cat
erpillor, for two years, has been developing
no a tetrible destroyer of the plant. In
IS6g, this worar was two Weeks in ad
1 ance of his advent in 1867. If, in 1819,
he is ten days earlier than last year, the
crop in t is region would i c a dead failure.

IDEctoN IN REGAUD To TiUE INCoME-TAX
LAw.-In the case of the United States
against William E. Frost, indictment for t
false income return for 1800, the jury have
tt ined a verdict of not guilty. It appear
ilg that Mr. Frost's return for that year
showed an income of about, $1O.000. The
Government claimed that there outght to
have boon returnedl about, $8,000 in addi
tion. The defence set tip was that this som
was exempted from taxatom as had debts.
The case turned on a law point. Judge
Drumamond decided that a man was not
bound to retane as income debis of promacse
to pay, bnt was only rettuiredl to return the
gains, profits, or income of Ihis buciness ac
tually received, 'lHe thought. that it, would
be unreasonable on the part. of the Glovern

The Wreokers,
The ship is wrecked, and they whom
we see conspicuous on her deck, are no
portion of her crew, but a reckers. By
their false lights they have lured her
among the breakers and they are now
receiving the price of their perfidy.
In such a state of things, what
course ought we, Southern men, to
adopt?
Since all is lost, ought we not in self
defence to join the wreckers?
Many a Southern politician, we know
pe:fectly well, has asked himself a
question similar to the above, and some,
we grieve to say, have answered it iu
the sfirtuative.
Let, us see what is meant by joining
the wreckers-that is the Radical-mzons
gre: party.
Let us imavine.a Southern man en

his personal advancement; the only
possible motive that can take any sane
'man into such a party.
