Over the river they beckon to me Loved ones who've croused to the farther side; s, The gleam of their snowy robes I see, But their voices are drowned in the rushing tide. There's one, with ringlet, of sunny gold, And eyes, the reflection of heaven's own r. blue; He crossed in the twilight, gray and eold, And the palo mist hid him from mortal "" view. We saw not the angels thatmet him there; The gates of the city we could not see; Over the river, over the river, My brother stands waiting to welcome me! 6 Over the river the boatman pale Carried another-the household pet; Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale Darling Minnie ! I see her yet! She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands, And fearlessly entered the phantom bark; We watched it glide from the silver sands, And all our sunshine grew strangely dark. We know she is safe on the farther side, ý' Where all the ransomed and angels be; J, Over the river, the mystic river, My childhood's idol is waiting for me! - For none return from those quiet shores, e Who cross with the boatman cold and pale; We hear the dip of the golden oars, y And catch a gleam of the snowy sail, r And, lo! they have passed from our yearning hearts; They cross the stream, and are done for a aye; n We may not sunder the veil apart That hides from our vision the gates of We only know that their bark no more M May sail with us o'er life's stormy sea; e Yet, somewhere, I know, on toe unseen shore, They watch, and beckon, and wait for And I sit and think, when the sunset's 11 gold e Is flushing river, and hill, and shore, I alndl one day stand by the water cold, And list for the sound of the boatunens our; I shall watch for a gleam of the flapping t I shall hear the boat as it gains the strand; I shall paaa from sight with the boatman { p..le, r T' the better shore of the spirit-land; I shall know the loved who have gone before, And joyfully sweet shall the meeting be, 1 When over the river, the peaceful river, The angel of death shall carry me ! COY. BULLOCI'S ALLEGED IEASON FOR ` 1ESIG11IyG. Democratic organs are howling all over the country that Governor Bullock, of Georgia, resigned his position after robbing the State of enough to keep him in affluence the remainder of his life, and in order to avoid the exposures that would have followed in the impeach ment which certainly awaited him. The ex-Governor haa spoken for l himself on this subject, and this is what he says:-[ED. ILou. EL. Dru-'v 8trsr or Guoaou, Avw.rra, October 23, 1871. To my "'olitical Friends and the People of (leorgia: I have this day received informa tion, the truth of which Iecannot doubt, that the political conspira- t tors who seek the overthrow, not only of the reconstructed govern ment of Georgia, but of the United States, have secured the pledges of a a sufficient number of the incoming members of the Lower House of General Assembly to vote without previous investigation for Articles of Impeachment against me imme-b diately after they have assembled b and organized on Wednesday, the s first day of November next; and that having adopted such articles in the House, a sufficient numnber of Republican Senators will be Un seated to ensure conviction upon the articles so pr~eseted. I also h learn that the Judge of the Supreme * Court, who is personally and politi cally bitterly hostile to me, has in-o formed his friends that this pro- ~ gramme has been perfected, and that i he has been selected to prid over the Senate during the trial; andw that the Senator representinig (Gen. ~ Toombe' district is to be elected President of the Senate, and imnme diately announce himself as, and elaim to be, Governor during the pending impeachment and there-a after for the balance of my uoex- o pired term,.r Upon this state of hets I have decided to resign the offes of Gov ernor, to take effect before the meet ing and qualification of ths new members of the new body, and thereby defeat this nefarious scheme i5t of these desperate political seoe pirators. he By this course Ishall be protected my political friends in the Senate Id, from the expulsion that has been " foreordained in order to secure my I, impeachment, and, at the same at time, save the State from the disas ters that would be sure to follow in re; the wake of success on the pact of 'e; the unpardoned unrepentant Rebel ne leaders, who, though comparatively few in numbers, move the masses by the irresistible pressure of sec tional hate and social proscription. tie I have maintained my official position against the assaults of these people upon the course of ed equal rights and Republican goy m ernment just as long as it is pos sible for me to be of service, and ,, now, for the purpose of again de Iy feating this latest onslaught of these destroyers, I have resigned this offlee into the hands of that noble and unswerving friend of right and justice, the Hon. Ben. Conley, who, under the Constitu tion, by reason of being President of the Senate, becomes Governor during the unexpired part of my term, or until a successor is elected r by the people. No charge has yet been brought against him, because he has not heretofore been sup posed to be an obstacle in the aay of of the conspirator's success. If as saults are now made upon him the ý country will understand the pur n pose for which they are made. As for myself, being divested of offi )r cial position, the charges of every character which these people are I 's sure to make and claim against me can be brought before the courts, and I shall never shrink from any a ,a judicial inquiry that is divested of t political bias and prejudice. May I f g be pardoned for a word of warning t to the men who fought for the eUnion ? Six months ago in Georgia the mass of the people were acquiescing in the results of the war, and were e willing to accept those results as being finalities, but under the later public teaching of certain old lead- 1 ere who need not be named, the whole situation has changed, and leading gentlemen, even in the De mocratic party, who dared to speakI in favor of acquiescence and peace have been assailed and denounced, and the people so intimidated that t they dare not follow the advice. f These conspirators fear, above all n else, the re-election of General P Grant. Their insidious efforts to mislead him as to the true situation P - in the South having utterly failed, G they now fear that some persistent k and irresistible maintenance of the t right under civil administration ° which so brilliantly marked General t Grant's military advances in the overthrow of the rebellion may do rfeat their revolutionary purposes. I am now fully persuaded and h satiasfed that the.e men propose to' control the Government, and reverse the political results of the past few h years by peaceful means, if they can, orby foul means, if they dare. ~ Failing in this, another attempt at 0 Separation will be made. If evidence of this were~wanting, we need but point to the public and private utterances of those who t were foremost in seeession and re- p bellion, and now denounce and ig- u nore the fundamental law--the Con- ¶ stitution of the United States. s Will the country heed and take c care, before it is too late to prevent n another war with its frightful eon-a sequences? v If my action in this emergency had been postponed until after the t( meeting of the izwouasing body of le- 5 gislators, the Executive brsneh of" our State Government would have 0o been absorbed by the eonspirstors in the Legislative branch, and there' would have been no eheck upon the wholesale repeal and destruetion of a all the great masures of reform and o progress that we have Iabores4 so o1 hard to establish. The free school(I system would be abolished, the cal ored sitiasm dened every rihtguar mntmed *9 him, sad the whole work of internal improvement carried op t by Noa~rtbn capital would be swept ci n away. The growing spirit of law lessness and proescription for opin L- ion's sake is rendering the property . and lives of Union men and Repub d licans more and more unsafe, and I e fear the worst consequences if the F-Executive office should be filled by one not only in sympathy d with those who urge on and iufame e this feeling, but who is moved and n actuated by them. With no one in the Executive office to all upon the e general government for protection, . its friends and supporters would be n handed over without mercy to the ºf assaults of their enemies. I For these reasons, I have de y termined on this step, believing that s much which has already been ac - complished can be preserved ý. through the wise and firm check 1 upon revolutionary measures that f will be given by Governor Conley t in control of the Executive branch - of the Government, and that there by the good of the whole people of I Georgia will be promoted ; and I - shall cheerfully give to Governor f Conley all the information and as l sistance within my power that he E may desire. f Rwrs B.

He was then l a hod-carrier by profession and a e repeater liy practice. He attracted l the attention uv Mr. Tweed by his zeal in votin and his bravery in e knockin down opposiehen voters, t and wuz uv course rewarded. He is now Assistant Inspector uv t Musket Triggers uv the Ninth a Regimental Armory, at a salara uv t $300 per month, Skool Inspector i in the Sixth Ward atea elary uv p $400 per month, and Thirty-second n Assistant Law Adviser to the corn- n mission for condemning private t property, for streets and sich, at a fi salary uv three thousand dollars a per year, besides which he hex a to tenth interest in the contract for e keepin the glass in repair uv the two back winders uv two Armories, out uv which he made $10,000 in 'I thefArft six months. He wax tu b hey hod the contrack for the two J7 front winders in addition, but the h raid the people made on the Ring ti busted that. He hex, however, in- u vested largely in city lote, and A wears kid gloves and a diamond cx ra big es a peachstone. Dennis said o that of the infernal Amerikens and a Germana kin be beat down and the ti control uv Noo York left with the (I Irish, where it belongs, he will be u tolerably well offin ayear or two. a Dennis, being of consequence in ft the party, wus, uv course, in the a private counsels uv the managers tl uv the State Convenshun. He and U1 Tweed, Sweeny, Mayor Hall, Key- p1 aer, Garwin, and the entire convo- bi cashon wux at Rochester, though nobody knowed it. They went in ic a speshel private car, and bed pri- ea vate rooms at the Osborne Hoese, us with a private wire runnin directly hi to the hall into which the Conven- bi shun wus held. It wus the most impressive scene I ever witnessed, nt one which these old eyes will prob- ga ab~ly never look onto agin.

The I great man read em attentively, and r handed ur em back. " "They won't do," sed he, senten tiously. "In what respeck are they faulty?" asked the Chairman, obsequiously. "Woodent it be well enough," said Tweed, with a smile still more bland than the first, "woodent it be well enough to put in a reeolooshen - denouncin corrupshen, in general c terms, uv course, specifyin par r tikelerly, however, the especial cor E rupehen uv the Nashnel Govern ment, and that uv States which is under radikal control ?" The sublimity uv sich a sejestion comin from Tweed struck the chair man all uv a heap. "Certainly I will, of yoo wish it," said he, "but I sposed-that is, my t idee was-in a general way, you I know, that the least sod about cor I rupehen, in view uv-well, I am' jist now holding a place which pays I somethin like ten thou-but never I mind, it shel be done." + "Then agin," said Tweed, smilin + stia blander and with the faintest' sejestion ova wink in his left eye, "I would aejest that you pledge the Democratic party to a honest and economical expenditoor uv the I public funds 1" The Chairman turned pale with I surprise, but he coincided. Every- I body coincides with Tweed. "And while you are at it," con- a tinned the great chieftain with a smile, the blandnis uv which can't' be described, "you hed better put I in a resolooshen denouncin the profligacy uv the management uv 1 matters in Noo York City, but I makin it, mind yoo, ez the legi- ( timate result uv Radicallegislashen 1 four years ago. Draw up this re- t solooshen so es to make it plain t that it's me yoor drivin at, without I exactly namin me." "Why, what shell we-" c "Don't go on, my friend," said f Tweed, smilin a smile which for t blandais excelled the most delishus Joon morning, "its much better to a hey the corrupehen denounet by us than by the enemy, partikerlerly em we know more definitely about it. AndlIwould sejeet that yoo heva a reeolooehen, boldly challenging aE comparison between the Republikin a and Democratic administrations uv the State and city governments, and I (here he smiled with a blanduis wish was heavenly, ez he fingered a most gigantic diamond on the little finger of his left hand, and sipped a glass of champagne) any little I thing wich you kin throw inas to tie necessity nv asea~rn to thesmm* b plicity uv our Puritan fathers wood be well." The Chairzisan wus too aseated U to say aword, but he made thee. w' ceassry notes, and easein en. look h UT astonishment at the greatness of $ his cheeft who eat thsre smilin blandly, retired from the presemee. But the great man's work wuzs not yet done. He promptly tale- a graat every prominent Demonsatiec to denounce him in the bibtrest terms, and then tellin the Couse..

(Wich was Postmaster.) Want of space last week pre vented our making mention of the remarkable public meeting in Phila delphia, on Friday, the 13th, to denounce the murder of Major Oc tavius V. Catto-ayoung and highly esteemed colored man, professor in a colored institute-in the election disturbances of the Tuesday pre vious. One would have to go South fora parallel instance of cold-blooded assassination, in which the police were abettors, two of them having released the murderer after he had been handed over to them, and a third, whose protection warbesought by the victim, having answered him (as he himself testified on the stand), "Protect yourself; you have a pistol" Doubtless it was the complete fraternisation of the police force with the rioter-not then exhibited for the first time, but then most villanoosly-that special ly roused the indignation of the citizens of Philadelphia who met in Nstional Hall to do what they could to retrieve the sullied reputation of the city. It was a gathering of . great numbers and eminent re spectability, and, considering the 1 occasion of it, even at this distance from the Emancipation Proclama tio'almust epochal in its character. Among the speakers, bath white and black, Colonel McClure struck the keynote when he said that it I was not the mission of the mneeting "to seine the murderer and ezecate hasty punishment," but to invoke public sentiment against taspirit of meste which had inueithis murder. This spirit has, as every body knows, lingered longer in Philadelphia than in any other largeacty inthe country; san, in fact, logically, there is but a single step from the eashigaso of colored people from the horn-cars to the shooting of Major cattoa Ismem-. bering the slsam of persons who de (smnled this eotesion, we fear that the elseton of s Republican city government and of a District-At- ( tcrmey (who, for -oo rsesons rea behind his tieket J "praying to live, that he may ahow by hisllse the truth of his promise," to give his C fellow-aihiusas "peae sand sesurity," is not going to doall that theusest. ing meared to empeet it wealdt wards ~Mthe vulgar preja dies agintthe asgr..
