We think the best thing Republicans can do, is to favor every investigation proposed by their opponents, for, judging by the past, such a course will viodicate them frm many, of the charges preferred against them. One thing is certain, most . of the former admirers of Governor Grover: are very reticent just now about his supposed-brave and statesmanlike action in the Electoral business; and he will receive no mere ovations. when .he: passes through San Francisco. =e ne A eee The Attempted Assassination. The name of the man who attempted to assassinate Governor Packard, was William Henry Weidon. The telegraph, as usual, mixes tp the matter so that it is difficult at present’to determine whether it was an organized plot or whether the assassin was actingupon his own promptings . unconnected with a political plot. It seems more than probab’ethat the man was not perfectly sane though his actions previous ta his entrance ' tothe State House showed a good deal of method. He was a country saver, like all the other assassins who have committed similar murder: during the past twelve yeare, and raid “the-murder of Packard and Hayes was his ethod ofsaving it. pe ee New.

Unfortunately, my joy was short lived.-This-mora= ing some unknown person sent mea mahogany casket, enclosea in which was a copy, of the Court Almanue of five yeurs ago. I found upon a marked leaf the same verse, bearing your signature, and dedicated to the venerable Lady Buckingham. You may well think I took this as an insult from yoa; or a3 an insipid joke. Addressing to me verses already dedieated to another, is not the manner ofa gentleman.

Tbe “Court: Almanse:-ef+five years ago! Why, it is almost an eternity! And I was told the edition was exhavsted.’’ “Then, after. musing awhile, “But it isthe fateof a poet. Our best verses are regarded by us asa sickly born child, which cannot livé, therefore we address them toa piince, a protector, or a. woman, for fluttery alone.” He walked to the bank of the Thames. ‘“‘Well, the excursion to be made by. two shall be made by one,” he exclaimed, thinking aloud, In a moment he was on the bosom of the placid Thames, the dip of his beatman’s oars alone breaking the His musings all ended im the qeestion, *‘What shalil donow?” ‘Lired of the silence, the boatman began a popular song, with a chorus ending: “So list, list to my song; Tobe tarried along. On the current of life, ex Without striving or strife, 1g the best thing to do, Ts the best thing to do; So pull away, pull away my boy,” ete. “Just the conclusion 1 weking,’’ thought Young. ‘Why be sad ataught that befulls me. I lose, ‘tis true, my sweet mistress, bat then, she hada detestable caprice.-’ Whenever I.saw her. she was sure to ask, ‘Have you learned the minuet? Haye you made much progress with the dance? Prtell you, Edward, if you don’t learn the minuet to perfectiony’ Eewill mever marry: you.’ In time that acted on meas the guat on the lion'suestrils. Lhe mention of the minuet set me distracted. I'm rid of that; thank heaven.” : By this:time, the boat had reached a portion of the river where hundreds of others .were enjoying the beautiful ‘night by gliding over the tranqail waters. Young ‘was not enly a poet, -but an accomplished musitian:” Hnehanted by the scene, and consoled by his own reflections, he drew forth a»sweet toned fiute, and executed an air from Lalli, then just introduced into Englund. The music drew rapturous plaudits from the occupants of passing boats. Gratified by this unexpected appiause, be began another air just as his bout entered the sombre shades of the tower, when his-attention was directed tou yacht, coming directly upon him, > ‘ ‘The boat was filled with ladies and officers, and it was easy to see the party were in the height of enjoyment—silvery ‘voices mingling wita manly tones, and shoutsof laughter came over the water. .

Addresses were at once exchanged for a meeting the hext évening, atid with a utual ‘‘Good night,’ the boats parted company. After a resiless night, the poet found himself ‘cogitating upon his peculiar position. ‘Here Lam,’’ he mused, ‘‘in one duy egy sweetheart and gaining a duel. It isa serious and yet ludicrous situation.”’ 3 Pacing the floor for a time in deep thought, his countenance presentty . brightened. **T have it,” he cried, and seating himself at his desk, penned the fol-} lowing note: : Officer, ete.: Dear Major: Ali Great Britaiti knows you are one of the most distinguished officers in the service, I have your word fora little conferevce to-night.

Promptly caine these replies: ‘*] shali-be punctual,’’ was.,. the Major’s reply. ‘If only for the siasi gularity of the thing, I shall be present,’’ wrote the lady. . . The rest of the day was consumed by Young, in arranging the Piccadilly soiree at the appuinted rendezvous,the house of an intimate friend. All things happened as the poet had expected.

At the -same +time the three ladies were seen on the watch. **Weloome, Major,"’ cried Young; “you are-as puuctaal as a lover saduld be.”” ‘Affairs of honor are serious ones,”’ **We shall begin at once,”’ said the “Be it so sir, let us commence.” *“Lbe spots at the end of the gar}den, beneath those piane.trees,’’ col» tinued Young. **Let us go thither.

People say that you poets are the image of butterflies, medniiig’that_you ure too inconstant to fix yourselves anywhere.

Unfortunately, my joy was short lived.-This-mora= ing some unknown person sent mea mahogany casket, enclosea in which was a copy, of the Court Almanue of five yeurs ago. I found upon a marked leaf the same verse, bearing your signature, and dedicated to the venerable Lady Buckingham. You may well think I took this as an insult from yoa; or a3 an insipid joke. Addressing to me verses already dedieated to another, is not the manner ofa gentleman. I was equally sirprised to find myself put in comparison With the Honorable Lady ®ackingham—old enough to be my gywnd-’ mother., J. shall never ‘conseat to seo you again.” “Silly girl!’ his face crimson with anger.— “Strange fatality that opposes this! marriage! Tbe “Court: Almanse:-ef+five years ago! Why, it is almost an eternity! And I was told the edition was exhavsted.’’ “Then, after. musing awhile, “But it isthe fateof a poet. Our best verses are regarded by us asa sickly born child, which cannot livé, therefore we address them toa piince, a protector, or a. woman, for fluttery alone.” He walked to the bank of the Thames. ‘“‘Well, the excursion to be made by. two shall be made by one,” he exclaimed, thinking aloud, In a moment he was on the bosom of the placid Thames, the dip of his beatman’s oars alone breaking the His musings all ended im the qeestion, *‘What shalil donow?” ‘Lired of the silence, the boatman began a popular song, with a chorus ending: “So list, list to my song; Tobe tarried along. On the current of life, ex Without striving or strife, 1g the best thing to do, Ts the best thing to do; So pull away, pull away my boy,” ete. “Just the conclusion 1 weking,’’ thought Young. ‘Why be sad ataught that befulls me. I lose, ‘tis true, my sweet mistress, bat then, she hada detestable caprice.-’ Whenever I.saw her. she was sure to ask, ‘Have you learned the minuet? Haye you made much progress with the dance? Prtell you, Edward, if you don’t learn the minuet to perfectiony’ Eewill mever marry: you.’ In time that acted on meas the guat on the lion'suestrils. Lhe mention of the minuet set me distracted. I'm rid of that; thank heaven.” : By this:time, the boat had reached a portion of the river where hundreds of others .were enjoying the beautiful ‘night by gliding over the tranqail waters. Young ‘was not enly a poet, -but an accomplished musitian:” Hnehanted by the scene, and consoled by his own reflections, he drew forth a»sweet toned fiute, and executed an air from Lalli, then just introduced into Englund. The music drew rapturous plaudits from the occupants of passing boats. Gratified by this unexpected appiause, be began another air just as

his bout entered the sombre shades of the tower, when his-attention was directed tou yacht, coming directly upon him, > ‘ ‘The boat was filled with ladies and officers, and it was easy to see the party were in the height of enjoyment—silvery ‘voices mingling wita manly tones, and shoutsof laughter came over the water. .

Addresses were at once exchanged for a meeting the hext évening, atid with a utual ‘‘Good night,’ the boats parted company. After a resiless night, the poet found himself ‘cogitating upon his peculiar position. ‘Here Lam,’’ he mused, ‘‘in one duy egy sweetheart and gaining a duel. It isa serious and yet ludicrous situation.”’ 3 Pacing the floor for a time in deep thought, his countenance presentty . brightened. **T have it,” he cried, and seating himself at his desk, penned the fol-} lowing note: : Officer, ete.: Dear Major: Ali Great Britaiti knows you are one of the most distinguished officers in the service, I have your word fora little conferevce to-night..

Promptly caine these replies: ‘*] shali-be punctual,’’ was.,. the Major’s reply. ‘If only for the siasi gularity of the thing, I shall be present,’’ wrote the lady. . .

At the -same +time the three ladies were seen on the watch. **Weloome, Major,"’ cried Young; “you are-as puuctaal as a lover saduld be.”” ‘Affairs of honor are serious ones,”’ **We shall begin at once,”’ said the “Be it so sir, let us commence.” *“Lbe spots at the end of the gar}den, beneath those piane.trees,’’ col» tinued Young. **Let us go thither.
