will ocho back the paeans of victory.
THE PEOPLE Of Virginia are going

TiHE PilLnDFru1A 7Ties thinks,
"What is really needed in this
contry is a political platform that
will guarantee the farmer a tre
mendous price for his flour, and
also assure the workingman that
he shall have his bread for almost
nothing. Such a platform would
rake in all the olements and sweep
the country like wildfiro."
IN VIEW of the possibility of the
Popo's death occurring at any
moment it has been arrangod that
the Cardinals may elect a new pope
either within twenty -four hours or
some longer period. The fear is that
if any considerablo notice be given
the crowned heads of Europe may
have timo to collect the Cardinals
in their respoective dominions and
by sending them to the college, to
control the election.
ROSC(JE CONKI.INo, who has little
use for Hayes, now admits that
Tildon was elected. A report was
prevalent at the time of the elec
torial commission that Conkling at
first threatened to vote in the
Senato against admtting the vote
of Louisiana, but that through
persistent bulldozing he was in
duced to simply refrain from voting
at all.
CAss CARPENTER has come to
grief again. Ho had two claims,
one for $1,720, and one for $1,784,
each paid twice, besides which he
stole a thousand dollars each in
twenty claims by prolixing the
figure 1 before the hundreds as
the bills were first approved. True
bills have been found against him.
Hogo, Scott, Patterson and Owens
have had several additional true
bills found against them. The
wvork goes bravely on.
Our Georgia Cousins.
The Georgia Convention has
adopted a State Constitution which
la pronounced by its admirers a
masterpiece of kind. Salaries are
reduced to the lowest limit. Legis
lative sessions are viennial, and no
speeial legislation is permitted.
The homestead is reduced to six
teen hundred dollars, with the right
of waiver of thirteen hundred. The
further division of counties is
prohibited. Stringent regulations
are prescribed for increasing the
State debt. The habeas eorpus act
shall in no case be suspended. The
homestead provision and the ques
tion of the Sltate capital will be
submitted to a separate vote by the
people. iledgeville and Atlanta
.are rival aspirants. As Milledge
ville was ihe old capital, and as it
contains a handsome State--house
and capacious public buildings,
while -Atlanta las no,ne and as
Milledgeville is. more .- ceut'rally
Jocated, the argument appears to
be in favor of a change, although
the bare mention of it. The
adoption of the ordinanco sub
mnitting thd question to the poOple
was a victory for Milledgeville. It
is said to have boee dtu) largely to
the energy anil activity displyod by
Senator Furman, of AMilledgovillo,
who was also a member of the
convention. Senator Furman is a
graduate of the South Carolina
University, and there he displayed
the same ability that has since dis
tinguished him. Whenever the
Senator fairly sots himsolf to work,
things aro bound to move.

The Bird.
Pretty bird, you little mnite,
Do you but move one ard in flight,
Simgimg your sweet merry lay,
All through the long warm summer day ?
Resting now antd then on a braneh,
Or from it startled finickly launch
Far up in the bright aerial sky,
Or down again in the fields of rye,
Singing your very sweetest to m1e,
From among the limbs of the old oak tree,
Oheoring my sad and lonely mind.
Oh 1 little bird, you ate so kind.
What (10 you do when rain pours down,
And lightnmng and thunder aro all around ?
Do you go) to your nest, to your little one,
.T'il fromj behind the clond you see the sun?
Oh I ho* ? wish that I stag free,
And oould fly and hop aroufld n ith thee;
I weo.ld sing all day to that Glorious King
Who in H!is goodness and greatness has
m.ade every thing.
