Terrible times of sorrow and need ;
Times to make hearts of adamant bleed:
Times that seem to have been decreed
To chasten our wayward nation ;
Fathers and brothers thinning away:
Bread growing scarcer every day;
Famine to pinch and sword to slay~-
'Tis a woful situation 1
But even as Nero, in days of old,
Unmoved, beard Roman fire-bells tolled,
And saw the "machines" that rattled and rolled
To tbe scene of tbe great disaster,
The while he rosined his fiddle and bow.
And played some classic "Bob Ridley, Oh 1"
So we make merry while all things go
To the dickens faster and faster 1
Parties, socialables. visits and calls,
Operas, hops and Russian balls,
'Mid broken pillars, and tottering walls,
Enough to bewilder a body;
Silver and gold and gems of tbe mine, •
Satins to rustle aod silks to shine,
Feathers and fuss, and frippery fine—
The paraphernelia of shoddy !
Carriages flash through the crowded street,
FlunkeyB in livery stiff on each seat,
Buttoned and capped from Bead to feet—
Most solemn, majestical flunkeys ;
And "tiger" to let down tbe steps with a bow
Learned only by tigers, and heaven knows how,
Dressed in a fashion I must allow,
Like that of the organ monkeys.
The ladies who walk when the weather is fair,
Show marvellous taste with a marvellous air ;
Nothing can be too Bplendid to wear;
Too gaudy, too fine or too funny;
For credit is good when prices are high,
And a governmet nod or a wink of the eye
Can pile up "greenbacks" cleor to the sky—
"Greenbacks" being shoddy for money..
So yellows and blues and scarlets gay,
Go sweeping tbe pavement every day,
Making a rainbow of poor Broadway,
Witb a glare that is really stunning;
And even the churches where fashion goes,
Are a moss of follies and furbelows,
Flirtation and foolery under the rose
Past even Ihe Serpent's cunuing.
While shoddy over its turtle gloats,
Our soldiers shiverlag in rotten coats,
And our tars go down in their leaky boats,
The victims of contract building;
And poverty stares in its wretched Blums,
Or freezes to death when the  north  wind comes,
While shoddy is picking the sweetest plums
For its bed of gingerbread gilding.
But what cares shoddy for all these things?
Shoddy, the richest of paper kings-
Shoddy, who dances, fiddles and sings
On the crater ot wild infatuation 1
What does hp care 1   Not a sou marquee;
He fattens and battens in luxury,
As if his reign were a thing to be
Of eternal perpetuation.
But Damocles' sword hangs overhead;
Justice may sleep, but she is not dead.
"Veageance is mine 1" the Lord bath said,
And soon, at the end ofthe story,
Fruitiest wine shall be bitterest gall,
Silk and satin make shroud and pall.
Truth shall arise and Shoddy shall fall,
To tbe nation's lasting glory 1
English   and
Dry Goods.

Letter from Major JacSk   Downing.
Washington, Jan. 30,1864.
To the Editors ofthe Dabook :
Sure : I spose your readers  think I'm dead, or
mebby they think I've  run away  with  a pile o'
greenkacks,  as that is  kinder  faebionahul  now
a-days, but I aint in neither fix.   The rale truth is
that after I writ you my last lettur I got completely disgusted, and cam mitey nigh going back hum
to Downingville, and vowin I would never return
to this sink of sin agiu.   But the Kernel got at me
and begged I wouldn't think of it.   I telled him I
oouldn't stay in the White House over New Years
and see the knaves and fools thar would  be there
then.   So jest before Christmas, as good luck happened, old Fathnr Blair axed me to  go  down to
his place at Silvur Springs and stay over the holli-
days.   I tell you I was rale glad, fur   the old man
has got a floe place, and I could have it to  quite
and cozy there aftur my hard work ovur the message.    When I got there I was tuk down  with the
rumatiz and had to keep my room for   more than
Iwo weeks.   Howevur, the Kernal  sent me some
prime old rye, and that, together with some operi
dildock that old Aunt Keziah   Wiggleton   sent to
me by my nefu Zeke put me on my pins agin.   Old
Father Blair and I had long  talks   about Gineral
Jackson and the Kernel, the war niggers, the next
Presidency, and so on.   My old friend Blair was a
great man in Gineral Jackson's time, but the trub-
bel with him now is that he don't move along with
the world.   He actually thinks that he is yet fitin
Calhoun, an bavin got in the bote with tbe Abol-
ishernists, he don' know how to   git   out.    Last
week I cum back to see the Kernel and have been
looking around for a few days to see how the land
lay.   I Und that the principel idee in every body's
hed is whose to be the next President? Bat I tell
you when I look at the oondishun of  the country
it makes mi sick to talk about a President.   What
is the use of a President when  there's a standin
army ? What is the use of the President when the
balotbox aint half eo much account as the eartrldge
box ? The first day I got back to the White House
there waa a lot of Loyil Legers and  shoddy contractors cum to tell the Kernel that they had  nominated him for President.   After they went oat
Linkin see to me, ses  he,  "Majer,   what  do you
think of them fellows t" "Wall," ses I, "they look
to me mean enough to steal niggers."   The Kernel
did not say anything, but look kinder cross-eyed
at me.   The Kernel and I then had  a long; talk
abont  matters  and things,  and  alter taking a
good swig of old rye, went to bed.   That  nite I
had a wonderful dream.   The next mourning when
I went into the room where the Kernel was, sea he
"Majer, yoa look oneommon  serious this mornin;
what's the matter?" "Wall," ses I, I han a wonderful dream last nite that eenamost frightened me
to detb."   "Wall," ses he, "What on earth was it ?"
"Wall," seB I, "if Ltell you the hull of it jest as it
appeared to me you musn't get mad."   "Oh-," ses
the Kernel, "I don't keer nothin about dreems, for
I allers interprete them by  contraries."    "Wall,"
ses I, "yoa kin cypher oat the meanin of it to suit
yourself, but I'll tell it to you jest as it appeared
E___3
to me, and it seemed as plain aa if It was  broad
daylight."   "Wall," ses L "I thought  I was in a
grave yard, and there was a great big  grave dug
large enuff to hold four or five coffins, and while I
was standin there wonderin what  on  earth tbe
grave was for, I saw a big black hearse comin and
Stantin was drivin it.   That kinder startled me ;
but I looked agin, and I see it was bein drawn by
them War Democrats, Dickinson, Butler, Meagher,
Cochrane, and the bearee itself was marked 'War
Dimmycracy.'   When   Stantin   druv  up   to the
grave ses be, 'my jackasses had a heavy load, bat
tbey pulled through bravely,' for the poor War
Dimmycrats had heads of men on  tbe bodies  of
m ules.   I wandered what on airth could be in the
hearee for it seemed to be heavily loaded.   Right
behind the bearse walkin along were yoa and Sumner, and Greeley, and Cbase, and Beecher, and old
Grandfather Welles,   Pretty soon yoa all went to
work takin out the coffins and gettin ready to pnt
them in the grave.   The first   one  tuk  out was
marked 'habeas corpus,' the second one 'trial by
jury,' then the 'Union,' and then'the Constitution.
When they were all out on the gronnd   some dispute riz as to wbieb should   be  buried  first, but
Greeley cut it short by sayin 'put the Constitution
under, aud all else follows.'   So Greeley   got the
rope under one end of the coffin and Sumner under
tbe other, and began to let it down.   While it was
goin down yoa looked kinder   anxious   at Cbase
and ses you, 'Chase, think it will stay down ?' And
old Greenbacks ses he, 'My God,   Kernel, it  must
stay down or we will go up,   Greeley was tickled
eenamost to death, and ses he,  'we shall  bury ii
now so that it will never be heered  of agin.'  Old
Grandfather Welles, however, seemed  half fright-
ened to death, and trembled like a  sick dog, and
ses, 'Oh tbat it was all over.' Sumner  was wratby
at this, and ses he, shut up, you old fool, wait until it is al under.   And there, too, stood Beecher
with a nigger baby in  his  arms,   looking  up to
heaven and prayin all the while, as follows: "Oh 1
Lord, not thy will but mine be done.'   Finally, al'
tbe coffins were put on the grave  and covered up.
I wondered where Seward could be all   this time,
and looking up, tbere he was, flyin through the air
with wings and tails, and herns, lookin for all tbe
world like an evil spirit, and   ses he,   'if  'twere
done,'just bb if he was afraid that a day of resurrection was comin.   I tell you it made me feel sorrowful and sad, whed I saw tbe   old Constitution
and the Union put under tbe ground, out of sight,
and When I woke up, my eyes were full of tears and
I felt more like eryin' than  I  have sence I was
born."
After I got thru, ses I, "Kernel, what do you
think of my dream ?" He looked down on the
floor and tben looked up, then he looked down
agin end tben he looked up. I see he was kinder
worried, so I said nothin. Finally he kicked his
slipper off and ees he, "Majer, do you know wbat
good leather is?" "Wal," ses I, "Kernel, I used
to know something about lether." "Wal," ses he
"what do you think of the lether in that slipper ?
Is it good?" "Yes," ses I, "I think it's pretty
good." "Wal," ses he, "what kind is it ?" SeS I
.'It's calfskin." "Wal," ses he, "kin yoa tell me
whether the calf was a heifer or steer!" "No," ses
I. "I can't." "Wal," ses he, "I'm in jist the same
fix about your dream. It is a good dream, but I
can't tell whether its a heifer or a steer. But I
rather reckon it's a steer."
"Wal." ses I, "Lernel, you may think that my
dream don't amount to anythiu', but there are
thousands of people will see in it the fate of their
country."
He didn't seem disposed to talk Ut it, however, aDd I let it drop. Since tben I've been over
to the Copitol once or twice, and looked around
Washington a leetle, I never see such a change
in a place since I was born. Its dirtier, nastier
meaner lookin'than ever. In fact, it is just like
the country, all goin to rain. If the devil is ever
happy, I should think he would be nigh abont
tickled to deth now-a-days. I guess every thing
is goin ou to suit him to a fracshin. I kin tell
you one thing. There is goin to be a bigger fite
between Linkiu and Chase for president than most
pepil suppose. So look out for the musick ahed.
I shall keep a watch on all the doins, and write
you when the rumatiz, liketbe greenback market,
aint too Btriugint. Majer Jack Downing.
Violation* ofthe Constitution.
The violations of theUoflstitution by the pfesent
administration are thus concisely summed  up in
an address from the Caniden  (N. J.)  Democratic
Association.
I. The freedom of speech has been violated by
the arrest an imprisonment of a number of persona
charged with no crime, and whose only offense
was the utterance ol sentiments distasteful to tha
men in power.
II. The freedom ofthe press has been subverted
by the suppression of a number of Newspapers.
IIL The right to the security from arrest when
no crime is charged has been disregarded io tha
arreBt and incarceration of a number of persons,
denounced by the parasites of the administration
as sympathizers of the rebellion.
IV. The right to the security from the searches
and seizures bas been violated ia numerous instances, in wbich domiciles have been violated and
papers, etc., seized without legal authority.
V. The right of Mai by jury has been refused
in the case of citizens arrested and imprisoned of
banished by military orders or oonrt martial.
, VII. The freedom of every citizen has been taken Irom him by the illegal and unnecessary suspension of the right to demand tbe writ of habeas,
corpus.
VIII. -The right of property has been abrogated
by the Emancipation proclamtion and confi cation
act.
IX. The inviolability of contracts has been des-»
troyed by the act whicb makes deprecated treasury
notes a legal tender for all debts.
X. The freedom of religious Worship has beeti
violated on repeated occasions by the interference
of military officers.
XL Tbe right of States to. the management oi
their militia has been taken from them by tbe con*
scription act, wbich places the whole military
power of the country at tbe disposal of the President.
XII. The formation of the State of "West Vir*
ginia," was a violation of tbe third section of the
fourth article of the Constitution.
XIII. The heretofore undisputed right of the
people to elect their legislators and rulers has
been taken from them, and the will of majorities
disregarded, as is abundantly manifested in ths
manner in which elections bave recently been car*
ried by the grossest corruption in the border
states oi the South.
Where the Money Cokes From—The atnoilfll
of specie existing in the United States in 1863 is
estimated to bave been seven hundred and sixty
millions of dollars. Tbe product of the pacific!
mines of the United States in 1853, was sixty-five
millions j amount imported from foreign countries
and introduced by immigrants was eleven millions j
the amount of specie exported in 1863 and carried,
home by returning passengers and lost by abrasion
of coin and consumption In the art, was sixty-six
millions; making an addition to the supply ot ths
precious metals existing in the United States at
the present time of ten millions of dollars.
More Public Monet Missiho.—Onlt a Mttstfott
or so.—Didn't Senator Pomeroy have a million or
so, as agent of the government, to settle contrabands in Central America ? What has he done with
the money if he was entrusted witb it? He is a
man of undoubted "loyalty ;" he waBthe treasurer
of tbe "Kansas Aid Society," and showed himself
an excelent financier, "Father Abraham," too,
bad fifteen millions voted to bim as a secret service
fund. That's all right no doubt i but it is a very
snug little sum for one to use as be pleases. We
should like to try onr integrity upon it.—Boiton
Post.
What Mas* a Bushel.—The following table of
the number of pounds of various articles to tbe
bushel may be of interest to some ofour readers j
Wheat, 60 pounds ; shelled corn, 66 pounds ; corn
on the cob, 70 i rye, 56 j oats, 32 ; barley, .46 /

Some of the boys in a printing offioe sent td
another office for a pint of "editorial." The mes^

was promply returned with the explanation that
it was editorial they wanted, and not the cut ot
the editor.
Quarrel Among Thieves.
Senator Hale does not propose to take the raking down of the Democratic press withont exposing his accomplices ia corruption. To draw off
attention irom himself he points tothe frauds in
the Navy where millions have been stolen to his
thousands.
In a recent Senatorial dialogue between him and
Wilson, of Massachusetts, both shining lights of
Lincolnism, the following occurs. We apprehend
there will be no denial of the facts stated :
"Mr, Hale—I have seen—and I base this statement upon official documents wbich have come
under my notice—a list of artioles furnished by
advertised proposals to tbe Navy Department,
where the price varied from one hundred to ten
hundred per cent, above the market price.
"For instance, an attiole coating twelve dollars
had been famished for $150. That I have seen
in official statements.
"Mr. Wilson—Did the government   take  it at
that price ?
"Mr. Hale—The government took it; the
market price being twelve dollars, and the contract price $150. I will mention an other artiole
1 have seen in the same list. Cotton waste, tbe
market p ice of which was twenty-nine cents, has
been furnished by contract on advertised proposals at eighty cents. Things of that sort I have
from the official records of the Department."
Every department of the Administration is reeking with corruption and the people are to gronnd
down by taxes and duties to pay tbe hirelings of
an Administration which has not the courage or
disposition to punish the rascals.—Burlington Argus.
ViOHiAliCB.--Twenty.8even men have been hung
by the Vigilance Committee in Idaho Territory.
Truly there has been a vast amount of crime suspended, or a Vast amount committed!
