No other indrt&l dotli appeal 4 To me, So perfect fts thou art, Or, privileged by heaven to share Of all that's geod so large a part. ATI graces In you Becln to Mend, In perfection and in" unity, While flngels on your footsteps tend, ~ ')To guard your saiut-like purity ! Indeed, to heavtJn you arc allied : i So closely, that it's understood, *Tou were created for a guidfe To all the holy, pure and good. There's love in all you saj »hd do To win the wayward to the right, And gently draw all hearts to you, As new bora llowers turn to the light. Sweet guardian angel of my Way, I sometimes doubt if it were wrong To worship you, if here we may, Those who from eartu to heaven have gviie. For naught you've ever said or done, Hath caused a mortal one to stray ; While by you. virtues, like the sun, You make more glorious every day. I'm sure there never lived On earth, , A wanner, purer heart-than thine ; Or breast so full of priceless worth, Or, love and friendship more divine. And you're with mC where ere i rgo, In scenes of pleasure, joy, or pain ; And nearer, and dearer, ever grow, 'Till now I feel wkare the same«! r Oh! who can tell tliy-uiatehless, worth ? Thou art the paragon of earth—, Ail stars before thee fade aWay. There is no other voice like thine, „No other form so light and fair ; TliofPart-a Creature so divine ; That thou shoftldst dwell where angels are. I knoTVMjiere cannot be on earth, Of all its beauties, one to me So full of loveliness and worth ; Ah, no ! there's rio one else like thee ; Thon art In ftil my brightest dreams, Thy image with me eveiywhere; I go to nmse by childhood's streams, On dear old and find thee there. I neVer view a pleasant sfcene Or lovely flewer, but I can see, While gazing on its charms seronC, How true, there's no one else like tllee. I've looked up to the starry skies, And wondered-if those worlds of light Contained a being I could prize Like thee, or one as pure and bright. And always something Strange replied Within my heart, there cannot be— Thou art alone in all thy jiride, My love, there Vno one else like tiiee I've gafced on many a beaming face, Where youth and wit, and beauty shone, But never saw such modest graca As seems to dwell in thine alone. Though other oyes may be as bright,. And other hearts as pure and free ; Thou, thou art like the morning light, My dear, there's no one elselike thee. And many, many an hour I've sought, In golden hopes and dreams for one With whom to share each little thought— One I could lov«j aud call my own, And though I've wandered far ard wide, I have found in sincerity, None I could wish to be my bride, Allie, on earth, t'jxrjiling thee ! Theu tie the dew-drops on the rose, Or honey in the lilly's bell, So let mo iu thy heart repose And you in mine forever dwell. Then all on earth would give me elieor And a far sweetec zest to life ; Were you torcver smiling near, A faithful friend or loving wife ! For ever dear and charming maid, My heart is linked by love U» thine, As cqoluess is to summer shade, • Or light and warmth to the sun shine. And as the rose-bud to its stem, Or purple clusters to the vine ; There it will hang —through life like them. And die if severed once from thine. . For believe, or believe mc not At other shrine I ne'er shall bow; The world itself may bo forgot Hut AUie never, never thou! Tbo' absent I recall thy charm* And wish as lovers, when they part— I'd like a vine, a thousand arms To clasp thee—hold tliee—to my heart. # There's not a pulse within my hi east; But thrills and trembles to thy touch : Forget—oh no the fear is lest My soul may love thee overmuch. .Thy very name each feeling warms, And oft though vain, the wish will start That like a rice I had strong arms To clasp thee ever to my heart. Then, though on earth I'd be in heaven, For heaven, is nothing else but love; And nothing better can be given, To mortals here, or saints above ! Then let me to thy bosom fly And there forever fine my rest A prelude to the one on high And joy like that within thy breast. GRAHAM, N. C„ TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1875. Till! KECKNI? il lOF THE BLACK KIKNO A • AIUNAPOI.IM, MD.~TIIK litW ROBBED OF ITS VICTIiiIuFIKTIIEK PAKTItt" It ARM. .The tplegraph has already giyen us a brief account of the hanging of the ne gro fiend Sims, at Annapolis, Md.. Sun day night, by a disguised party of citi zens taking him from the jail after breaking into the prison, overpowering the jailor and taking the negro out and hanging him to a tree not far from the town. Sims was guilty of the heinous crime of committing rape on the sth inst., on the person of a Miss Jackson, a white gil l, residing near Odeuton> Anno Arundel county, Md. At a meeting held at Odenton a few days since by the citizens of the Fourth Election District of Anne Arundel county* the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Ftjlou'-Citizens .•—ln view of the fact that wo arc about to take hands the sword of justice to do t7death one who is now incarcerated in our County Jail, it is meet that we shall give some reasons for the purpose we hope to con summate: First then. JFhile we can but honor the deep feeling of interest, manifested by those who are the proper guardians of our lives, our property aud our honor, and while we> as true and loyal citizens of the State of Mary land and of Anne Arundel county, do bend to supreme majesty of the law and acknowledge trial by jury as the arch stone in the grand edifice of human rights, still we know that to. the vilest criminal is accorded the same rights under the law that belong to the petty thief, nor can this devil* incarnate, should he claim his rights, be denied the privilege of venue. Such a circum stance might possibiy rob the gallows of its due and foil the aims of. the law. llcforo God wo believe in tho ex istence of a higher code than that which is dignified by the great seal of a com monwealth, and that the high and holy time to exercise it is when the chastity of our women is tarnished by the fou breath of an imp from hell, and the sanctity of our homes .invaded by a demon. • Socondly« Admitting that in the event of a trial by furv he should be hung, a highly probable result, yet would his execution be as illegal as though done by a band of wronged citi zens ; for must not a juror be a peer, and with amind free of bias for or against a prisoner? And where will a man be found competent to try this case? Who can be found of his level, and who that has heard, has not already con viced him in his mind? At best, that which would be done under the semblence of law would be a mere sham by forceof all the circumstances connected with this horrible deed; aud if under the law the penalty is death, aud we kuow the deed was committed by him, we claim that there is no moral difference iu the means of destroying him' and WC act upon this conviction. Thirdly. We arc not willing that his victim shall bo dragged into the court to tell over and over again the story of her terrible wrong, or that her name shall be entered upou the records of criminal jurisprudence for future refer ence. Itumors had been afloat lu Annapolis for several days that Sims would be lynched, but not much credence was given to it.' About 2 o'clock Monday inoruing) however) Warden Alleu White was awakened by a noise at th® front door of the jail. He looked, out and saw a man who said be was Officer Cairnes and that be bad a prisoner. Af ter a little parley the Warden, doubt less snspecting a lynching party, refus ed to let the mythical officer in. In a few seconds a noise began at the back door, a heavy woodeu structure, which soon gave way under blows of a ham mer and an immense iron axle. War den White stood inside the passage threatening to shoot, but whether the parties heard it or not, Is uot known. It did not deter them in the least in their attack on the door. The door down, Warden White managed to hide his keys. A party ot fifteen men, with blackened faces we re now in the jail, Sims had heard tho noise, and being told they were after him, said Mr, White would not let them come in. This iA all he said during the whole transaction. Th# Warden had now re treated to a room) where the crowd found him, and demanded the keys at the muzzle of a pistol. Warden White refused, when they began a search and found the keys, opened the door aud entered the cell where Sims was, and proceeded lb break the chains upon the fated man. They first attempted to pull the staple from the floor, but that resist ing their efforts the chain itsplf wasbro- 'ken and the prisoner taken out. The only light used was tlic gas light burn ing in the passage of the jail \ that throw sufficient light into the cell by which | the prisoner was recognized. Sims was I then hurriedly carried in the arms of the lynchers out of town by ft back Wfty over the fields to Berry's Gnte> nboltt a mile and a half from Annapolis, and hung to an oak tree on a liiub about twenty feet from the ground* A jury of inquest was held oil Monday over the body of the negro> and a ver dict returned that "he came to his death by strangulation- from hanging, at the "hands of a mob, to the jury unknown, on the morning of June 14, 1875, at Ber ry's Gate> near Annapolis, and the jury further find that no blame is to attach tor the sheriff or the officer on duty at time/' Wlhl.lAM AIIIIEN* l b. VONRKOM .Vlnp Who May Be Pfcu j , iall*lll. [Philadelphia Times, Independent.] The distinguished gentleman, tho present Governor, of Ohio, was yester day ror\pminated by tho Democratic convention 'of that State. Mr. Allen was born iu Odenton, North Carolina, in 1807. Having Hie misfortune to loose both his parent# at an early age, the ties of home associations were thus severed, and he removed to Lynchburg, where ho learned the business of a sad dler and harness maker. At the age ot t sixteen years he started for the West, attracted by glowing reports from that region> and walked the long load from Lynchburg, Virginia* to Chillicotho, Ohio. Here the sister ot Mr. Allen re sided, Mrs. Thurmau, the mother of Senator Thurinan, and by this sister young Allen was sent to the Chillicotho Academy, and this was tho real conn, nicuccmcut of his education) as up to that time lie had only caught up such snatches of learning as fell iu his way. At the proper ago Mi% Allen entered j tho office of Hon, Edward King, in Chillicothe, as a law student. His pre ceptor was eminent in his profession, and the son of Itufus King, who figured prominently in tho war of the Ameri can devolution. Upon being admitted to the bar Mr. Allen immediately cb taincd • a respectable business for a young man. This was "owing to great steadiness ot character and the posses sion of fine oratorical powers. The latter made him powerful aud success ful before,, juries. As a counselor he al so acquired an enviable reputation. At the early age of 20 Mr. Allen attracted J the notice ot the politicians of his sec tion of Ohio, and was nominated by the Democrats as their candidate for Con gress iu the Chillccothe district. The district was Whig by a decided majori ty aud Mr. Allen's opponent wat Gov ernor Duncan McArthur, an able aud popular man, who was induced to de cline a re-election for the place he occu pied and take the field against the young champion of the Democracy. In this contest Mr. Allen met iu debate not only Mr. Arthur, but William Sumpter Murphy, a fine speaker, before a popu lar audience. After a memorable strug gle Mr. Allen was declared elected by one vote, and took his seat iu the Twen ty-third Congress. Iu this body he soon became a prominent member, and ' took part iu the debates upon all lead ing questions. He was accepted as one of the most forcible speakers in the House. At the eud of Mr. Allen's Congressional term a choice tor United States Senator was to be made in Ohio, and his friends and admirers at once named him for the post. The Demo crats carried ihc Legislature by one majority, and Mr. Allen was nominated aud elected over lion Thomas Ewiug, who was then iu the Senate. Ihus in two instances was Mr. Allen advanced on the political road by one majority. The newly elected Senator reached Washington* on the'Sd of March, 1878, and on the 4th, which was the inaugu ration day of Martin Vau llurcn, he took his seat in tlie Senate. Before the end of his first term, Senator Allen was re-elected—this lime by a decided ma jority—and served uutil tbo 4tb of March, 1849, two fall terms. While iu the Senate, Mr. Alien was Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, a position which he filled with signal abil | ity. He was an early friend ot Cuba, | and labored in all proper ways to ob- I tain the separate nationality and inde ! pendeuce of that island. All the other quesJons of importance which came before the Committe of Foreign Rela tions while Mr. Allen was chairman of that body were also treated by him with great thought, intelligence and force. Id the discharge or public duties, while in the Senate and House, Mr. Allen was strictly and rigidly conscientious. - ' im , ' 7 .

Allen imtioved to the beauti ful and fertile valley, of the Scioto, and became one of the largest and most successful farmers in the State. Iu 18 78, when the Democrats of Ohio want ed a man to carry the State against a popular leader of the Republican party, they called Mr. Allen from his home and put him at the head of their columns, lie made an active canvasp, and Was elected by nearly one thousand majori ty, being Jhc only candidate on thst ticket who escaped defeat. On the 12th of January, 1874. he was inaugu rated, aud his address on that occasion received commendatloifij from leadiftg papers of both parties. The New York Tribune said "it was a model document, devoted to the necessity for reducing taxes and enforcing the most rigid econ omy in all matters of Stateexpenditure." tpolT tills point tho Governor enuncia ted the following sentiments: "I do not mean that vague and mere verbal econ omy which public men are so ready to profess with regard to public efcpendi* tures —I mean (hat earnest and iiiGxo=- rable economy which proclaims) its ex istence by accomplished facts." After a full term of service as Governor, the Democi'ats have again presented Mr. Allen to* tho people of Ohio for their en dorsement and acceptance. PRESIDE.tTIAI. PIIUII.INn> WashintoN) June 15,• 18?5. To hc Editor of The World. Sir : That his excellency Tresident Grant hath a sneaking kindness tor that friend of man and of the butchers' stalls I the "bullpurpy" hath long beeu known > It may bo a weakness iu a in a great mail) but it is an amiablO' weakness surely, and was shared by eminent personages so uuliko each oth er unlike President Grant as Alcibiades | and "Lo I the poor Indian." But it is not pnrhaps so well known that like some other notable human friends and v allies of the bull-purp,'' His Excellency is a stalwart pugilist. Yet such is the fact; and all Washington (within acer r tain charmed circle) is now quietly re velling in a recent illustration thereof. It is now, accordiiigto our City Fathers, , in order to muzzle dogs, that the dogs I 'may go Visibly mad, and that black po-. liccmau ad hoc may bo duly rewarded l for putting an end to them. Tho Pres ident's friend and brother (iu-law) Mr. Sharp, happens to on u a particularly flue aud striking dog of I know not what breed, but a personable aud dig nified dog, presumably of no mean ori gin. This dog the other day was dis porting himself iu the area of his tcr's house, while his master, unseen of men, sat above in the embrasure of a window. Suddenly there appeared in the vicinity tho state coach provided by the municipality for tho comprehension, of all "vagrom" dogs, accompanied by certain dismounted negro Uhlans, whose duty and delight it is to catch offenders and either hold them to ransom or drown them promptly, as in each case may seem best. Oue of these worthies, espying the noble dog of Mr. Sharp, forthwith recognised iu hiin a priie worth laying hands upou. The master of such a dog would nev er leave him to perish in the pound for lack of a paltry fire-dollar bill. So the thrifty son of Africa crept up to the area-foc>ce and with soft words and 'whistles enticed the unsuspecting beast forth into the highway. There be sei-, .sod upou bis prey, and with the help of his fellows sought to force the animal loudly barking and with no mean strength resisting this perfidious vio lence) into his fatal van. The racket brought forth Mr. Sharp, high in auger, i and reclaiming his deceived and foully capturcd favorite. The negroes turned a deaf ear to the demands of Mr. Sharp. A somewhat short |and squarely built personage who had tome out in com pany with Mr. interfered iu sup> port of what undoubtedly was the just aud well-founded pretest of the dog's nsxt friend. To him, thus meddling with grave municipal questions, the burly black replied, not with words on ly, but with gestures, bidding bim "mind his own business," aud seeking by a prompt pressure upon his shoulder to enforce the suggestion. 11l fit red the preßuinptous child of Ham 1 For as his pudacious hand was laid upon bis inter locutor's arm, that interlocutor' swiftly drew back, threw himselt "into posi tion," and with oue well-delivered blow from the left shoulder sent the oham- piOM of the Washington J.ilig hcadloi;Sf into Hit} roadway, there to reel and fall pfostratc and astounded even as Black Mollyneux, of fell ill the presence of England's assembled chiv alry-, when smitten by the stupendous fist of Crib! To gather himself up, to rush back upon his antagonist, io ex claiirt that in his person "the law" had been struck downfall this was the work of a moment* "Stand off, voit black fooil" shouted Slh Sharp hastily ■, putting himself Jit the way. "Stand oft, this is the President of the United States!" » »»_»••• * Alas! alas! that the hand which sign ed the Civil Bights bill should, by black ingratitude, be brought to use base as this! Still* it may be as well for Vice-Pres ident Wilson, Mr. Blaine* Mr. Bri*tow, and tlits mob of Republican candidates for the Presidency to know, in the first place, that His Excellency will not stand all kinds of nonsense, and in the §ecoud place, that it* His Excellency is " not a very brilliant writer, be at least bos been taught, and has not forgotten, how to make his fist intelligible by the meanest capacity upon occasion.

Look" at him through the rose-colored glasses of partisanship, and his squat, ugly, contemptible shape retuses to take on a pleasing Hue. His face is cunning, and docs showatrace of intellectual strength> His forehead is narrow and retreating. His eye's small and fisbey. His nose a broken sneak of an aquiline* that droops over a sandy scraggle of a moastaclK» Under this scraggle are two full sen sious lips, thon comes a retreadnj chin, upon which grows a turf of reddish beard. There is a greasy plumpness about the face that only comes from ex* ccssivc vulgarity of his pudgy hands, chucked feet and porpoise-like body is not relieved by a single feature as grace or breeding. He is a vulgar brute* who WHS ouco a bar keeper in Mew York. He is a living exposition of the fact what circumstance may do for even a lump of brutalized stupidity like himself. His day is verily run; i* the republican party iu the senate can uliord to be virtuous enough to loose his vote, be will be kicked out next winter. He cau then join with his pal*) the late fraudulent postoffice con-* tractors, and invent some bnnko game for his future support. Nearly all of these Alabama men irt power here are an. uuclcau lot. The 'oue glaring oxception to the crowd of blacks-legs and pirates in Congress is ; Senator Uoldtbwaite. Ho is simply a fool. His mind is now so far gone that any commission of lunacy would be jus* tified lu sending him to an asylum! When Congress is iu session he requires more looking after than a family of small children.
