The lines were written by a convict In the Ohio penitentiary: Fve wanderM far from thee, mother, Far from my happy home; Tv left the land that gave my birth, In other climes to roam; And time, since then, has roll'd Its years And mark'd them on my brow; Yet, I have often thought of thee I'm thinking of thee now. I'm thinking on the day mother, When, at thy tender side, You watched the dawning of my youth, And kiss'd me in your pride; Then brightly was my heart lit up With hopes of future joy, While your bright fancy honors wove To deck thy darling boy. I'm thinking of the day, mother, When, with such anxious care. You lifted up your heart to Heaven Your hope, your trust was there : Fond memory brings thy parting words, While tears rolled down your eheek; Thy long, last, loving look told more Than ever words could speak. I'm far away from thee, mother; No friend Is near me now, To soothe me with a tender word Or cool my burning brow; The dearest ties affection wove Are all now torn from me; They left me when the trouble came : They did not love like thee. I'm lonely and forsaken now, UnpiQed and unblest; Yet still I would not have thee know How sorely I'm distressed. I know you would not chide, mother, You would not give me blame; But soothe me with your tender words, And bid me hope again. I would not have thee know, mother, How brightest hopes decay; The tempter with his baleful cup Has dash'd them all away; And shame has left Its venom sting. To rack with anguish wild Yet, still I would not have thee know The sorrows of thy child. Oh! I have wonder'd far, mother, Since I deserted thee, And left thy trusting heart to break, Beyond the deep blue sea. Oh! mother, still I love thee well, And long to hear thee speak, And feel again thy balmy breath Upon my careworn cheek. But, ah! there Is a thought, mother, Prevades my beating breast, That thy freed spirit may have flown To its eternal rest; And while I wite the tear away, There whispers in my ear A voice, that speaks of heaven and thee, And bids me seek thee there.

Too Many Leaders and Too Little Courage. Louisville Courler-JoumaL It is an old saying that an army of sheep led by a lion is capable of doing more effective service than an army oi lions led by a sheep. Perhaps an army of lions with no leader at all is worst of all ; and this seems to be the situation of the Democratic majority in the present House of llepresentatives. There are too many lions. If one offers to lead, the rest straightway pro ceed to put hittfdewn. ..Thus, nosooner did Mr. Fernando Wood venture to criticise the President's message, which ne did exceedingly weiL than it began to be bruited about that he was guilty oi an indiscretion ; and, even since, a reluctance to pass a very judicious reso lution of his has shown itself. Now, by his right of Chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee, Mr. Wood is the official leader of the House. But he by no means holds this as his sole baton of command. His term of service in Con gress ante-dates that of any of his col leagues. He is in the prime of a vigor ous intellect and varied experience, which, whenever they have been tried, have shown themselves sufficient. He is a gentleman of character and dignity as well as ot ability, and tnere is no reason why he should not take the lead and hold it, except that, if St Paul him self should come to life again and enter that bear garden as a representative at large from Paradise, he- could not get a following from the Democrats, each one of whom expects to be President of the United States, and worse still each of whom is the happy possessor of a "theory," warranted to cure every financial ill, at least, of which the country complains. Home for Chrisfma?. LCharleston News & Courier, 19th. The streets were enlivened yesterday by the presence of several hundred colored people, all wen uressea, aoie bodied men. They arrived from Flori da, on the steamer St. John's, and are on their way to their homes in North Carolina and Virginia, to spena tneir Christmas with their relatives and friends. Accompanying them are a number of white men from Virginia, who came from the same place, and who have been engaged in turpentine farming, in Nassau County, Florida. The, farms are rim by John D. Jones &nd)W. H. Jones & Co of Virginia, who every year bring down from North Carolina and Virginia several hundred colored men, paying them from $175 to 0200 a year, with provisions, &c. Work has been stopped on these farms until January 15th, and the hands are now on their way home ith pockets full of money and light hearts. Most of them wore fancy colored ribbons on their hats, all were well dressed and orderly, and seemed contented.- During the day they stood around on the sunny side of the streets, or went out to hunt for Christmas presents.

The board met yesterday at 11 o'clock, pursuant to adjournment in the Hall of the House of Representatives for the purpose of proceeding with the count in the seeond district Present The Governor, Secretary of State, the Attorney-General, Senator Waddell and Senator Everett Mr. Kitchin was present represented by Judge Fowle, Fab H. Busbee and R. H. Battle, of counsel; and CHara was also in the Hall with his counsel Messrs. Gilliam and Gattling. The Governor inquired if there were any more injunctions. The count was then begun. When Craven county was called, Mr. Gatling asked if any further returns had been sent up from Edgecombe. TheSecretary of State replied that there had not been. Then said, Mr. Gatling, we wish to make the following motion: That the board adjourn to the 20th of February, at which time they would have submitted to them full returns of the election held on the 5th of Novem ber, in'the second congressional district, for a member to the 46th United States Congress. Mr. Gatling said that his client had appealed to the courts for the enforce ment of his rights and had done every thing in his power to have the returns, the only true return, sent up promptly. O'Hara file and affidavit, which was read, setting forth : That complete returns from Halifax and Edgecombe would show that he was elected to the forty-six Congress ; that the returns from Caledonia town ship were in the possession of one John T. Brinkley, who he was informed avoided service of the mandamus by the sheriff and withheld these returns from the county canvassing board. That the county canvassers of both these counties failed to obey the man date of Judge Seymour to meet on Mon day the 16th and canvass the returns rejected by them on the 7th of Novem ber, and asked a delay in canvassing the returns until all should be made under the judgment of the Courts, which' now had these matters under consideration. He asked an adjournment until the appeal prayed by the canvassing boards from the order of Judge Seymour should be heard by the Supreme Court Mr. Gatling then argued the . power and discretion of the boards to adjourn for more than twenty days, claiming that the time was merely directory and not mandatory, and that the "board should not fail of its duty on account of any difficulty of fact Mr. Battle said that he was prepared to controvert by affidavit if necessary some of the facts stated in O'Hara's affidavit; that he was informed Mr. Brinkly was shingle getting in North ampton countyand had had no conver sation with Mr. Kitchin since the decision by Judge Seymour, and was not privy to any hiding out This is not a question of fact but is a question of law. Judge Fowle desired to submit a statement for Mr. Kitchin to relieve a gentleman of a grave charge made against him, in the affidavit ot O'Hara. There was no confederation on the part of Mr. Brinkley and Capt Kitchin's friends, to keep out of the way, but a confederation of others to keep in the way, in order to submit to a speedy summons, and organize an immediate assemblage. The question is however purely a legal one. Mr. Busbee feared that the learned counsel had forgot that the board Was purely ministerial, and had almost vested it with judicial powers. If the adjournmen t asked for were granted, there was no end to the chain of con tingencies that would have to happen before a result could be reached. The limit of adjournment when reached would leave you functus officio. Mr. Gilliam. We lost many days in this matter through the patient con sideration of Judge Seymour. As re gards the power of adjournment it is sustained by the Supreme Courts of at least six States. The Supreme Court has decided that the Board -ot Commis sioners of a county having failed to count the full returns, could be com pelled to reconvene and make the eounfc- It is the purpose of the law that this board should assertain who has been really elected who has received the majority of the votes of the electors of the district; and we only ask now that the board-shall take further time to arrive at that decision, and until after proper decisions shall have been had from higher tribunals, We want to get at the returns of election which are in the possession of Brinkley, who 'was not served with the mandamns issued by Judge Seymour. It appears that certain returns have been with held from this Board. The questions raised will be decided by the Supreme Court during the sixth week perhaps before, in view of the exigency of the case. We ask that this board adjourn until that time. We believe conscien tiously that our client has been legally elected, and we believe that no man is better assured of the fact than the gen tleman who claims the commission. The board then took a recess of fif--teen minutes for consultation, at the expiration of which time, having reconvened, the President announced the unanimous determination of the board to proceed with the count of the vote from the second district. Mr. Everett explained his vote at some length. The following is the official count: Kitchin. O'Hara. Harris. Craven, Edgecombe, Greene, Halifax, Jones, Lenoir, Northampton, Warren, Wayne, Wilson, 765 1383 284 805 1802 26 842 930 16 1119 1348 709 584 548 114 1164 702 " 70 831 1333 227 926 757 887 2244 242 1353 1424 687 312 10,704 0682 : 3948 j. over O'Hara 1022. Thorne received 584 Kitchin's maj J. Williams votes, all in Warren. There were 28 votes scattering. Before adjourning, the board passed a resolution directing the secretary to write to the solicitors and request them to institute proceedings against the can vassing boards in the counties of Ashe, Madison and Burke, for failure to send abstracts of the votes at the election for members of the 46th Congress. No returns from the proper officers were raceived from these counties, and we learn that Ashe county sent in no returns of the Angust election. The board then adjourned sine dir.

Tbe Prospect ot the Tobacco Tax Reduction. rWashlngton Special to Richmond Dispatch, 18th. After a careful investigation, it looks to-day to me as if the Senate is in favor of reducing the tobacco tax if the com mittee will only report the bill, so that action may be taken upon it without further belay. Democratic senators who a few weeks ago were doubtful I find now warmly on our side : and I ascer tained last night that a Republican sen-J ator, who is even no w.,couatea -against reduction, is for it. Our friends are all more hopeful to-day, and it is clear that the Lorillards believe the bill will pass the Senate. Chairman Morrill to-day again assured Senator Withers that the committee will report as speedily .as possible.

READ HIS STATEMENT: Sprlngvale, Me., Oct 12, 1 876. Mr. H. R. Stevens: - Dear Sir Fifteen years ago last fall I was taken sick with rheumatism, was unable to move until the next April. From that time until three yean ago this fall I suffered everything withxheumatism. Sometimes there would be weeks at a time that I could not step one step; these attacks were quite often. I suffered everything that a man could. Over three years ago last spring I commenced tak ing VEGETINE and followed it up until I bad tak en seven bottles; have had no rheumatism since that time. I always advise every one that is trou bled with rheumatism to try VEGETINE, and not suffer for years as I have done. This statement is gratuitous as far as Mr. Stevens is concerned! ; Yours, ALBERT CROOKER. Firm .of A Crooker & Co., Druggists k Apothecaries VEGETINE HAS ENTIRELY CURED ME. Boston, Oct., 1876. Mr. H. R. Stevens: Al - Dear Sir My daughter, after having a severe at tack of Whooping, Cough, was left In a feeble state of health. Being advised by a friend she tried the VEGETINE, and after using a few bottles was ful ly restored to health, i I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism. I have taken several Lotties of the VEGETINE for this comolalat and am happy to say it has entirely cured me. I have recommended the VEGETINE , to others with tbe same good results.! it is a great cleanser and partner of the blood; it Is pleasant to take and I can cheerfully recommend it JAMES MORSE, 364 Athens street RHEUMATISM IS A DISEASE OF THE BLOOD. The blood in this d'sease Is found to contain an excess of nbrim. VEGETINE acts by converting the blood from its diseased condition to a healthy circulation. VEGETINE regulates the bowels which is very important in this complaint One bottle of Vegetlne will give relief; but to effect a permanent cure, it must be taken regularly, and may take several bottles, especially in cases of long standing. Vegetlne is sold by all Druggists. ' Try it and your verdict will be the same as that oi thousands before you, who say, "I never found so much relief as from tbe use of Vegetlne," which is composed exclusively of barks, roots and herbs. "VEGETINE," says a Boston physician,-"has no equal as a blood partner. ; Hearing of . its many wonderful cures, after other remedies had failed,! visited the laboratory and convinced myself of Its genuine merit It i is prepared from- barks, wots and herbs, each of which is highly effective; and they are compounded hi such a manner as to produoe astonishing results."
