Now along the welkin'»gloom
Autumn's mournful dirge is sounding.
Like a warning from the tomb
On the ear ot mirth resounding ;
And the lading Holds rfisumo
Sickly hues of white and sallow.
And the trees, bereft of bloom.
is of red and yellow.
W

All is cheerlwt*— all is dresr ;
Hoaroo a month sinne, all was blooming.
Now the leaf i§ brown and soar
That tho worm is fast oon«utninr;
Where g a? notes were wont to oh en ,
Like tuned barf»« on pinions riy.ug,
Now no rutiisnrn greets the car
Save tb« voice oi Nu.uie etching.
But let Autumn's breezes blow.
And the olouds of winter gather.
Deluging with ice and snow
Smiling hill and blooming farther ;
Still within nur hearts shall slow
Ties that Time shall fail to sever ;
Still the amaranth shall grow,
Blooming in our souls forever.

1er.
There dwells in this city a lady, who, in
all respects, seems a son3 sensible woman.
Sh« Io- 1 ,11 vo years n^o, au only daughter of
gre it promise, seveuteen >earn old, and the
idol oi the mother, biuce lur child's death
hlie has had the room she used to occupy,
cleaned daily, and the untouched bed pulled
to j i con and made over. She sits before a
vac ant chuir nl the table, aud carefully tills
the unused plate, and Spring and Full buya
the newest und prettic3t thiugs tor "Addie,"
my tho last year's gu.meuts,
"Addie" having done with them. There is
no appearance of mental gloom or disorder
about her, yet she cnirics this vagary into
♦ very act (»I her life. Riding out,
giving
one

ini Jgiuury an drawn daughter. Wheu
: taken at n thjulre, he.' busbeud al
wavfr gets three. You see tno vacant chiir
b twe u th m. where shj tuppos« % the dead
"Addie" sits nud views the performance.
8he is cheerful aud happy, und asked a
frieud of rnino the other day,for the pattern
of u wrapper, saying Addie kept her room so
much it would be serviceable, and several
«lays later I saw the poor mother busily
braiding a cashmere sick for "Addie." Nile
will speak with ult rationality for hours on
»II subjects, but suddenly excuse herself,
ÿ tying she mips t po to "Addle" for a few
minutes. «Sitting beside the empty bed (to
winch her daughter was conflued for two
years before her death) she clnsp an unseen
li.iiid uud iiilks hours together with her
phantom child. It is a strange case, but by
mns n sad one, since her tender minis
tn this viewless "Addie" makes her
's heart rejoice. To alt intent* aud

and controlled. as it used to be governed
and ocmbroUed Id ancient, pro-slavery
times, bj the rebels and traitors of the
South. Thw ia an essential point with
the Radicals. It enables them, with
what they think a show of plausibility,
te propagate a conceit most likely to ex
cite the prejudices of therNorth, and
also to serve as a foundation for the
theory that Jefferson Da via ia to be
eleoted President of the United States:
that the national debt is to be repudiat
ed and the Cqpfederate debt Assumed;
that the emancipated slaves are to be
paid for out of the National Treasury :
that the enfranchised freed men are to
be remanded to a condition of quasi
slavery, and, in short, that the tide
the Potomac is to be suspended, wni
grandpa Allen and Uncle Sam Tile
and Cousin Tom Bayard set tKe river on
nre. The rum of probabilities counts
for nothing with the pregs which has
defended Kellogg and excused Moses.
The organic law of the land obstructs
their theories as little as it has obstruct
ed the practices of their betters. The
lesson of their prosperity is oant, and,
failing to see that the night of smug
faced hypocrisy is on the wane, and that
the day-chinks of the dawn of a genuine
manliness and an honest love of country
are streaking the political horizon, they
fall bock upon the old tricks by which
for ten years they have bamboozled and
honeyf uggletl the many good people who
fought und won the fight for the Union.
A word from the South may not be out
of season. The South asks nothing but
an erasure of the score with the same
liberty enjoyed bv the North to mind its
own business. The statesmen of the
South who made and lost the fight for
the Confederacy are either old men, no
longer in anybody's way, or else they
sleep the sleep that knows no waking.
The young men of the South, the rank
and tile of the Confederacy, have as clear
a title to the land they till and the air
they breathe os the rank and file of the
Union, and they ask to be given an equal
title in the Government, to whose sup
port they contribute their proper share,
'l ue South knows very well that, since
the day of the Toombses, the Slidells,
the llavisos, the Yanceys, the Wigfalls,
and the Rhetts, a new sectional power
i • f n ? en ' the % rc&t Northwest, from
which the country must expeot and from
whence the Democratic party will get its
policy. The South, as a sectional power,
can arouso no reasonable apprehension.
It is no longe? North and South : it is
East and West. The South is but a de
partment of the West.
In its own time the Democratic party
will develop it3 policy. It will certainly
not look to the Republican press even
for hints, though the Republican press,
" j r , eaU y desired information, might
read the recent speeohes of Mr. Tilden
and Mr. Bayard and Judge Thurman with
profit. The policy of the of the Demo
cratic party, we may safely premise, will
5° fc bo .^evolutionary or sensational.
1 hero will be no effort to turn the Miss
issippi up stream or to lock and dam Ni
agara There will be no proscription of
any class, black or white. There will be
no geographical discriminations,
spirit of the party is national, its pur
pose-*thft sentimental as well as the ma
terial—the unification of the Union, and
its methods will be simple, constitutional
and humane. It will fly the old star
spangled banner as a symbol of universal
protection and peaöe, not as a theatrical
drop-curtain to cover up iniquity and ex
ouae oppression. It will see that the laws
are enforced and that officials are honest.
It will cleanse the Federal stable, leaving
each of the States to put its stall in order.
In a word, it has prevailed as a party of
rofonn, not as a party of revolution, and
it wul be true to its mission. Its accès
Bion to power must in the nature ©f
things be gradual, and there is no dan
ger of its losing its head ns it mores up
to the front. To be sure it can no more
hope to be exempt from its fools than
the Republioan party, but as long as it
is not outnumbered by its knaves, it can
trust itself and be trusted by the people.
.The wiser Republican press, journals
like tho Chicago Tribune, under Medill,
and the Cincinnati GaxeUe, under Rich
ard Smith, set an example to suoh igno
rant servitors as tho organs we have
named—an example which ought to be
felt. But lossoi j are wasted on such
cattle. Nay, the better tho lessons the
greater the waste.
It is not quite oertain that Grant, as a
factor in tho Republican party, is a dead
cock in the pit. The tl ird term danger
is f voided, as far as the country is con
cerned, but it is not yet withdrawn from
the Republican party. There are eviden
ces that it is still cherished by the Presi
dent s household partisans, and what
may we not expect of the man who tried
to juggle Santo Domingo into the Union,
who appointed Borie Secretary of the
Navy, who named Williams and Cushing
far Cfuef Justice of tho United States,
and who lias stuck to the District ring
just like the paper on the wall y Grant's
virtue is hia tenacity. His experience is
a series of romantic and extraordinary
surprises.
Why not a third term, no more extra
ordinary than the rest ? Hia resources for
a nom inati_o n are the rather increased by
the reduction of his chanoes of election ;
tho command of an army of retainers : the
possession of tho official machine; the
corruptibility of the Radical pretos ; the
demoralization among the Radical mass
; the disgust of decent Republicans
everywhere. So much, along with his own
bull-dog pluck and horsey sense, is Gen.
Grant s stock in trade, and we may be
sure that ho is not going to be restrained
by any considerations of contemporary
delicacy or posthumous repute. Gen.
Grant is as stolid to the suggestions of
mere honor as David in their play:
"Zounds, David," -says Acres, "think
what it would be to disgrace my ances
tors; 'to which Davidreplies, "Under fa
vor, the surest way of not disgracing
them is to keep longest out of their
paay," a most matter-of-fact, material,
Grantlike view of the subject. The theo
ry of Urantism is to keep what you have
and to get all you can, and its chief ex
emplar is not going to be thwarted by
any historic notions as to the propriety

If Grant would, till March, 1877,
consent to play President as Victoria
plays Quoen we could see ground for
hope in a new Cabinet created by the
Democrats whom the people have just
now elevated. That would give to
tire people possession of the Executive
Department in advance of the time
prescribed by the forms of law, but
even then Congress would need to dit
solve itself to make the revolution com
plete. There were four men at the re
cent Manhattan Club rejoicing— Til
den, Tburmnn, Bayard and Eaton—
who to-day stand out prominently as
the exponents of the political will of
the people as manifested in the late
elections, and a Cabinet selected by
ilicm and taking place immediately
would be a logical and natural result
of the revolution, povided Grant
would [consent to bo merely a titular
President as Victoria is a titular sov
ereign. But unless Grant thus abdi
cates, we see little hope for relief in a
new Cabinet, for the reason that he
has been in power long enough to
know (if lie ever can know) what the
country needs ; and the President, tin
der our system, lias tremendous prero
gatives. Grant can take off the rude
hand of tyranical executive power
from [the South by a word to Belk
nap and Williams. lie can, by the
stroke of his pen, remove the wretches
who hold revenue offices in the South
ern ports. A hint to Bristow will ex
pel Blodgett from the Tariff Bureau of
the Treasury Department, back to his
place as General Appraiser, banish the
dead-beats from Custom-Houses along
the North Atlantic and the Canadian
boundary, and put an end to the usur
pution and extortions practised under
color of the Poland revision. Mr.
Fish would not require a kick to com
pel him cither to permit Graut to exe
cute ltia own 1 sweet will with the for
eign affairs of the nation or to retire
absolutely from office.
The Herald proceeds on the idea
that Grant will be an endurable Presi
dent till March, 1877, if he have good
heads of departments. Can a new
Cabinet break down the influence of
the military bummers who have thus
far so fatally inspired him ? What
Cabinet could have mado certain that
he would keep his promise not to en
deavor to replace Boss Shepherd in
authority in the District of Columbia y
What Cabinet could perpetually i-tsud
watch and ward, day and nîgbt, in
Washington and at Long Brauch, to
keep out of the influence of Conkling,
Hufa^ngalls, Murphy, Bliss and com
pany in this State ; Cameron and Kel
ley of Pennsylvania ; Carpenter of
Wisconsin: Edmunds in Vermont;
Morton in Indiana ; Frelinghuysen in
New Jersey, and so on all around the
tier of States ? If, we repeat, Grant
would abdicate, and such men as Bay
ard or Seymour could be in the State
Department, and Tilden or Thurman
in the Treasury, and McClellan or
Dick Taylor in the War Office, and
Pendleton or Charles Levi Woodbury
in tho Navy, and Headricks or Ca>
ssrly in the Interior, and Eaton or
Stevenson in the Post-Office, a:.d Clisa
O'Conor or George Ticknor Curtis in
the Department of Justice, that wcu d
be worth while till March, lb77.
The Herald only mentions as illus
trations of dissatisfaction with the Ex
ecutive these items :
"It has pronunccd its verdict against
the ruinous financial policy of Secre
tary Boulwcll, which was a main cause
of last year's panic and this year's stag
nation. The country has condemned
tho policy of Attorney-General Wil
liams in dealing with Louisiana, whicit
ranks next to the panic in exciting
S ublic dissatisfaction. The country
islike his Santo Domingo job and his
Cuban apathy."
Boutwell is out of office, and Bris
tow is at liberty to correct the blun
ders of his predecessor so far as nny
head of the Treasury can. Williams
can be brought to a halt by a word
from Grant. The Santo Domingo job
was eminently one personal to Graut,
and by a sentence can he, in his forth
coming annual Message, nulify "his
Cuban apathy," and isalisfy the 2,700
Cuban naturalized citizens who in the
late election in this city and Brooklyn
voted solid against himself and Dix, ami
worked for Tilton.
The Republican leaders in Congress
charge Grant with responsibility for
the late revolution. He, in turn, say s
he has done nothin
behests of the Republican party
other end of the avenue. The 1
is, we infer, disposed to sympathize
with Congress. Tho World takes tho
side of the neither, but looks on with
a nutnlity which is not benevolent but
intensely malevolent towards both the
