J. W. DICKERSON,
Ch'n Dem. Co. Com.
FIAT .M STITIAF..
The Inquirer lias published several
editorials reflecting upon the extrava
gance of its party in the legislature,
which seem to lie more particularly
leveled at the gentleman who repre
sents this county in that body.
It is not our province to take up the
cudgels for Mr. Longenecker. That is
the duty of his friends in his own pr.r
ty. When the Inquirer asks for one
man to stand up against the corrupt
practices of the legislature, and when
it suvs, "a very feeble voice might do
so much as this and show the people
who are responsible," it becomes the
duty of the political friends of Mr.
Longenecker to clear him of the impu
tation that he is not the man to resist
the dishonest schemes of the majority
and that be is not the voice to "show
the people who are responsible."
But we would like to know why this
one man is to deserve special blame?
The increase of the number of pasters
and folders and other "officers" of the
legislature, was made a. parly measure
by the radical majority in the two
houses. The lash of the caucus was
applied to every refractory member
and the resolution increasing the force
of parters and folders, etc., was put
through under the whip and spur of
the party leaders. Was Mr. Longen
ecker to vote against his party on this
question? Doubtless he should ha\e
done so. We would have been grati
fied if he had. But the whole radical
side of the house voted for the resolu
tion, and Mr. Longenecker, taught in
the school of unflinching opposition to
everything democratic, of course was
found voting with his own party and
against the Democrats. His vote was
wrong, hut the whole radical member
ship voted as did Mr. Longenecker.
Now, therefore, we are glad to find
that the Inquirer is inclined to blame
its party as well as the individual mem
ber at whom it aims its denunciations,
it says, "Where none object, all alike
are guilty." That is to say, Mr. Long
enecker and the entire radical party in
the legislature are alike guilty. But
when the ides of October come, the
Inquirer will be found battling as usu
al to elect the verv same sort of men
to the legislature as those who now
control that lody. Mark the predic
tion !
DIOIOCK VTU' MEETISU.
We call attention to the call of the
Cuairman of the Democratic County
Committee, published in this issue, for
a meeting of the Democracy to be held
in the Court House, on Monday cve
n iug of the coming court week. Busi
ness of importance to the party will he
transacted by the meeting, and we
hope, therefore, that there will l>e a
full attendance. A Governor, Judge
of the supreme Court, and an impor
tant county ticket are to he chosen
next fall, and it behooves the friends
of the Democratic cause to see to it
that they enter the contest under prop
er standard-bearers and with perfect
organization. New York and New
Jersey have been redeemed by the
election of Democratic Governors.—
Let Pennsylvania be placed side by
side with them in the list ol regener
ated states.
NOT satisfied ,v ilh the enormous bur
den of debt now piled upon the shoul
ders of the people, the Radicals have
ordered, received, and paid for plan.-
for a new building for the War Depart
ment, which w ill cost not less than
two million of dollars—the building
we mean, not the plans. It strikes us
very forcibly that if the present build
ings were sufficient for the business of
the department during the entire war,
they ought to answer ali its purposes
now, and for years to come, m >ry es
pecially in view of the fact that the
army is to tie cut down to the peace
standard shortly.
JAMES A. LAY \UI> and Thomas J".
Layard, father and son, were elected
United States Senators fjom Delaware
the other day ; the father to fill an un
expired term, and the son for a full
term of six years. This is the first
instance of the kind on record, we be
lieve, and attests how the noble ser
vices ofthe Layards are appreciated
by the gallant Democracy of little
Delaware.
EXITED STATES SENATORS.
Hon. Jtfhu Scott was elected United
•States Senator, by the Legislature of
this State, on Tuesday. The lienio
crats voted for Hon Win. A. Wallace.
In the Senate the vote stood, Scott 17,
Wallace 18; In the House, Scott 61,
Wallace 38.
The Legislature of Delaware elected
James A. Bayard United States Sena
tor, to serve until March tth, and his
son, Thomas F. Bayard, to serve six
years from that date.
The Legislature of Maine elected
Hannibal Hamlin, laying Morrill on
the shelf. The Democrats voted for
A. G. Gould.
New York elected Governor Fenton,
shelving Morgan. The Democrats vo
ted for Senator Murphy.
Missouri elected Schurz, the infidel,
the Democrats supporting John Phelps.
Sumner has been re-elected from
Massachusetts.
Minnesotta has re-elected Ramsey,
and Michigan the drunken Chandler.
In Indiana the regular caucus nomi
nee, Cum back was defeated, and Hon.
D. I>. Pratt chosen. The Democrats
supported Hendricks the present Sen
ator.
Hon. John F. Stockton, who a few
years ago was voted out of his seat in
the Senate by the Radical Jacobins, has
again been elected from New Jersey.
J. H. LONG EN K<KK;T, Esq., will
please accept our thanks for copies of
the Daily legislative Record , and oth
er valuable documents.
A niKi. has been Introduced into the
United States Senate, the object of
which is to afford relief to Mrs. Abra
ham Lincoln, who failed to make mon
ey out of the sale of the rich garments
which were presented to her by army
contractors and others who sought
thus to curry favor with her husband.
It is proposed by this to pension Mrs.
L. as the widow of the Commander-in-
Chief, he, by some legal fiction, being
supposed to have been killed in battle.
Upon such reasoning Congress might
patriotic".!My determine to provision
the White House by ordering rations
for President Grant, and increase his
salary to any extent by allowing him
to draw money in commutation for the
rations. The .skill with which the
Radicals devise ways and means for
depleting the treasury is really re
markable. If they want to give Mrs.
Lincoln five thousand dollars a year,
let them vote it straight out, without
resorting to any silly subterfuge.
A Baptist minister from Boston
preached in one ol'the Baptist Church
es in this city last Sunday, and he
spoke of Boston fourteen times in
his sermon. In fact his sermon was
most all about Boston and the war. If
there were no Boston and no war, he
would have no gospel, poor fellow.—
He said however, that there are 10,000
young men in Boston who never go to
church. We have no doubt thoyoung
men of Boston are great sinners, but we
very much doubt if there are 40,000
young men in Boston. But we have
ceased to look for much exact truth
from political pulpits.— iV. Y. I)ay-
Boolc.
THE LOHBY,— The Alexandria Ga
zette always speaks to the point. It
well says: "When a plan is now
broached by any adventurer or schemer,
or any 'ring' of the same sort, to be
acted upon by and 'engineered' through
Congress, the question is not whether
it is constitutional, but, first, will it
'pay' the inventors, or enable them to
pocket government money! Indeed,
many of the per-ons engaged in the-e
schemes for bleeding the treasury do
not know what is constitutional or
what is not—being the most ignorant
as well as the most impudent of men !
Their pretensions would be laughable
if they were not often enabled, by col
lusion with accomplices, to effect their
i lesigns.''
PENSIONS.— There have been, it is
stated, 919 bills granting pensions to
individuals offered during the present
Congress. The House committee on
pensions, it is announced, have now
under consideration, and expect to re
port, a bill rearranging the pension
laws. Among the amendments to the
present law are provisions for a more
eflicient system of detecting frauds up
on the government in the collection of
pensions, and for the disposition of ar
rears of pension where parties have
died, leaving pensions to which they
were entitled. One clause prohibits a
widow from trar.-ferring by will the
arrears of her pension to the prejudice
of the children of her deceased hus
band.
CAIU. St'HURZHAS received the Rad
ical nomination for United States Sen
ator from Missouri. He is a'n avowed
and outspoken infidel. Among other
public utterances, he said, " God is
only (in imaginary gentleman who dwells
beyond the clouds." " The Ilible is a book
only fit to amuse children." " The Sab
bath is a relic of Barbarism ." Such is
the man whom "the party of great
moral ideas" choses to represent it in
the United States Senate. The choice
iseminently proper and fitting.
The Detroit Post says that thesmall
pox is now very prevalent in the Wes
tern cities. A hundred deaths a day
have been reported in Cincinnati; it is
declared to be an epidemic in St. Louis,
it is scourging Chicago, though noth
ing is said about it in the newspapers;
and in Milwaukee the public schools
and the rink have been closed in con
sequence, and the shutting up of the
theatres, concert saloons, and other
places where people most do congre
gate has been discussed.
Si ven counterfeiters were arrested
in New York last week, and $27,000 in
counterfeit notes captured. Subse
quently three other parties connected
with the "ring" were secured.

WASHINGTON, Jaauary 19.
In the Senate, a memorial was pre
sented from Maryland asking for uni
versal suffrage -that is, to allow both
whites and blacks to vote at all elec
tions. After the introduction and re
ference of several bill-, fhe copper tar
iff bill was taken up, when a lively de
bate ensued, in which Messrs. Viekers
and White, of Maryland, took an ac
tive part. The bill was amended and
then passed.
The House passed the bill to preserve
the purity of elections in the several
Territories.
WASHINGTON, January 20.
In the Senate, bills were introduced
to reorganize the grade of general
officers in the army, and for the reduc
tion of the military force. The bill to
reorganize the general officers of the
army retains the general at the same
pay ; makes three lieutenant generals,
at reduced pay; nine major generals,
at reduced pay; abolishes the briga
diers, and provides that in time of war
brigades shall be commanded by col
onels, selected for merit. The bill of
Mr. Sherman, in favor of the proposed
charter by Congress of a railroad
through to New York, was taken up,
and led to an interesting debate. Sen
ator Whyte, of Maryland, made an
able speech In opposition to the bill,
and on the general subject of tlie pow
er of Congress to charter rail-roads in
States. He read a letter from Gov.
Bowie, president of the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad, confirming the fact
that the road is to be completed to
Washington by the Ist of January, 18-
70. The last annual report of the com
pany, made in September, 1868, Bates
that the contract (allied for theconstruc
tion of the road to Upper Marlboro'
by the time above stated.
The House passed a bill to restrict
and regulate the frankiogprivilege, and
also a bill removing political disabili
ties from several citizens of Virginia
and other Southern States.
WASHINGTON, January 21.
In the Senate, Mr. Sherman, from
the finance committee, reported a sub
stitute for the bill amending the
national currency act. The "air-line"
railroad bill was taken up, amended,
and discussed at considerable length.
Mr. Viekers of Maryland, made an
able speech in opposition to the power
of Congress to charter. The section
providing for railroads to Cleveland
and Cincinnati was stricken out, so that
the bill only provides for a road from
Washington to New York. An a
mendment, however, was also adopt
ed that the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad should form a part of the air
line road to New York. < )ther amend
ments were pending at the hour of ad
journment.
In the House, a bill was passed pro
viding for theappointment of midship
men in the Naval Academy from the
Southern States. It provides that
members of the present Congress may
make nominations for their respective
States prior to May, 1869, in eases
where congressional elections do not
take place until later than that period.
The contested election from Missouri
was debated at length, and resulted in
declaring that Mr. Anderson, the sit
ting member, and not Mr. Switzler,
the contestant, was entitled to his seat.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.
The Senate to-day was prolific of im
portant and able speeches, but barren
of a single act of legislation. The
moring hour was extended to 2o'clock
in order to allow M< ssr. Frelinghuy
sen and Morton respectfully to assail
and defend the hitter's bill prohibiting
States from taxing railroads per capita
on passengers. This disposed of, the
Airline Railroad bill came up, and Sen
ator Do.,little delivered a long, elo
quent, and very powerful speech a
gainst it. Not so much against the
bill itself as agaist the whole system of
extra-constitutional legislation, of
which the measure is a specimen.—
Then, speaking to the bill, he so
thorougnly reviewed the speeches of
Messrs. Sherman and Morton that he
had them continually on their feet in
attempted reply. Mr. Doolittle's
speech, in its whole scope, is esteemed
the ablest of the session, if not in his
lifetime. The galleries were crowded
and attentive to the last degree while
he spoke. The Senate then inconclu
sively debated whether to agree to the
conference committees' report relating
to Registers in Bankruptcy taking
testimony in eases of contested elec
tions, and then adjourned, in order to
stave off an executive session, which
several Senators were anxious should
be held.
The House to-day look up tlie bill
granting additional subsidies to the
Kansas Pacific Railway, but came to
no vote. The lobby says they will
carry the day when the time comes.
Mr. Barnes, of New York,attempted to
report a bill to prevent the banks from
locking up greenbacks, but a single ob
jection rflied it out, and it remains in
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency. The day's proceedings were
closed with the Congressional funeral,
in heavy manuscript, of the late Mr.
Hinds, M. ('. from Arkansas.
WASHINGTON, January 2d.
In the Senate, to-day, resolutions of
the New York Chamber of Commerce
were presented protessting against any
further extension of the bankrupt law.
Mr. Hendricks submitted an amend
ment to be acted on when the joint
resolution proposing an amendment
to the constitution comes up. It pro
vides that no amendment she." be con
sidered ratified by any State Legisla
tures unless some of the members shall
have been elected after such amend
ment shall have been proposed by Con
gress. A resolution was offered re
moving persons holding civil offices in
Virginia and Texas who cannot take
the oath prescribed by act of Congress.
The air-line railroad bill was taken up
and debated at some length.
In the House a bill was introduced
authorizing married women in the
District of Columbus to possess proper
ty in their own right. The constitu
tional amendment in regard to suffrage
was called up, and Mr. Bout well made a
speech in advocacy of the measure.
The amendment was ordered to be
printed.

scarcely caused the least vibration in
i the solid timbers. The first man flog

The high tone and vigorof thissterling
l>i mineral ic Magazine, which was so
marked in the January number, is still

THE OI.D GUARD wears well, not only
sustaining the reputation which its
six year's publication has won, but it
improves like good wine, the older it
grows. The February issue is replete
with political, literary, and misoelane
ous matter. "Religious Inequality of
Human Races," by the Editor, is es
pecially worthy of atttention. "The
Cub of the Panther," by W. Gilniore
Simrns, Esq., keeps up its interest.

THE NEW COINS.— Shall we ever

since the establishment of a govern

has tried his hand at the matter,* and
it may safely be said that the United

earth. We are glad to learn that the
House Committee on Coins have de
cided, and will, next week, report in
favor of adopting new coins of nickel

fins YEAR ASII THE METHODISTS.
—The year 1860 is destined to he the
most important in the annals of Amer
ican Methodism. During the year the
people will be called upon to decide
wii ther or no they will accept the
measures proposed to them by the
General Conference, for the admission
of lay representatives to that assembly
and the Annual Conferences. It is al
so an important fact that a new con
stituency has been created by the late
(iuneral Conference; all mem hereof the
church over twenty-one years of age,
whether men or women, will be eligi
ble to vote upon this question.
INTERESTING TO FARMERS.—' The
Commissioner of Internal lie venue
has decided that farmers have no right
to have their grain manufactured into
flour in any manner, without paying
a license t<> the Government, and if
they do, they are liable to the penal
ties provided by law. We mention
the fact for the benefit of those who
may be interested in knowing it. Day
by day the people are becoming more
and more acquainted with the face of
the tax collector, and we are growing
more familiar with the ramifications of
the Internal lie venue law.
SMAIJL FKUIT WINKS.—TO make
good wine from blackberries, strawber

ries, is a simple process. Mash the
fruit fine in a gallon of boiling water,
to eacii gallon of fruit, add four poun is
of sugar, and, after standing twenty
four hours, strain and put into a cask
auil deposit in the cellar. If, after fer
mentation, it should be racked off' and
corked up in bottles, all the better;
but it will do to rack it into another
cask, in which it will keep very well
though on lap for the year. The cost
of this wine, including a fair price for
the berries, will be about thirty-five
cents per gallon.
POSTAL K STAMPS.—. Complaints arc
