So far as tho essay on municipal reform Is concerned wo would susgeat that ho owes his election and tho success of his party to tho very localities whero corruption and ex travaganco prevail; uudifho is in earnest about municipal reform, why did ho veto the bill cutting down tho immense fees of City and County officials.

It is related that Lucian, tho blind prince, had his portrait painted in profile by a cclc bratcd artit, in order that his deformity might not bo seen. So with tho Republican party. They discourso about slavery, about tho war about reconstruction, but never alludo to the crimes and short-corn ings of their own organization. They are either discreetly silent, or attempt to gloss over tho dark spots. Land grants, credit mobilicrs, Sanborn contracts, Jayno moieties, Whiskey King? Pension Fraud;, all consummated by Uepub lican official", with tho connivance ol the Administration from tho President down, calls forth no complaint from the "organ" but they picture tho "blind man" in profile so that tho peoplo cannot sec the truo feat ures. Vnnt, hunger and general distress sharp cu the wiU, 'tis said, and the time has come when if the peoplo ask for bread, a stone will not answer. Sixteen years of Republican rule has brought about our present siilferings. The boast of leaving threo millions of slaves idle, and putting the ballot in tho hands o( tho most degraded and ignorant of our popu lation does not excuse fraud and corrupt Ion nor put bread into the mouth of tho la borer. UEPEAIj THE IlESUMl'TION ACT. A Republican Congre63 passed, and a Republican President signed tho act to force the resumption of specie payments in 1879. After cursing tho country with National Banks, and an irredeemable currency, in the midst of widespread financial distress and ruin they solemnly declare that in thrco years specie payments shall bo resumed, even if it bankrupts niuo tenths of tho peo ple. McCullougb, then Secretary of the Treasury, in his report to Congress in Dec, 1SC0, said that specie payments could safely bo resumed July 1st, 18GS. We were not able to resume then, nor can wo do so now, without infinite distress. Its impracticabil ity U shown by the fact that in a few ye'ais $1,000,000,000 has lelt this country, and largely to pay tho interest on our bout's held abroad. We export now $00,000,000 moro than wo receive, and forty-two per cent of tho product of our mines goes to Kuropo in bars. Under the operations of the re 4 sumption act distress is overwhero prevalent, and yet we-xiro in its first stages. Again, we would ask how wo would re sume specio payments with $180,000,000, cf specio and $SOO,000,003 of currency ? It is simply impossible. Resumption should bs our objectivo point, but in such a manner aad at such a time as will not ruin tho coun try. Even with our present circulation it is al most impossible for tho debtor class to meet their obligations, and combined capital ia exacting ruinous rates of iutcrost that no legitimate business can stand' for any length of time. Tho most of the contracts now in exist ence were made upon a currency basis ; and to compel the debtor to pay in specie which will have a fabulous premiumisin its essence a violation 'of the contract. Tho capitolUts and monopolies alone can profit by such a measure. They can affird to hoard their money, or call it in on short notice, and their debtor who has striven for a homo or to build up a trade must givo up allforasoug. Tho accumulation of a lifu is swept away in a moment j not becausu of lack ofeconomy, not beeamo of indulgence, but because of tho false legislation of tl)e party in power. At ono limo they said a piece of paper worth but forty cents was a dollar, and now seek to disown their own child. We call upon tho Democratic Houso of Representatives to repeal thU law. If th Sjaato or President refuse then upon them. let the responsibility rest, and in the cam paign pf this year we will got the verdict of tlit. people. JEFF. DAVIS AGAIN. The School Question, raised by Grant at Dcs Moines flashed In the pan. Maine, howover, has made a bid for tho Presidency by a malignant speech against Jefferson Davis, and excepting him from the general amnesty. Tho war Is over, and with it should die sectional passions. Our Centen nial should be a year of peaco and good feeling. If old and 1'gly questions relating to tho war are to bo lovamped, It will bo the workof scheming politicians, who have no solid merit to recommend them to the peo ple, and a party which has outlived its mo fulness. AJjilt that Jeff, Davis was a traitor. Lougstrcet caused moro bloodshed than ho did, aul was appointed by Grant to the best oilicoiuthe South. Musby, tho guerri.l i hada.Jiablt of hanging his prisoners In a tree r shooting them ou the spot, and ha is Grant's most trusted friend. Gen.

Different I'limcs of Masons. In an nrliclo In tho Juno Voice, Dr.Mnck- cy divides Mas6nt inti three classes: l'irst. -Thoso wjio mado their application for initiation not from a dcsiie of knowledge but from some accidental inntivo not always hoiiornblc. Such men liavo been led to took reception either, because in their opinion, It would facilltatn their business operations, or to advance their political prospect, or in sonic other way to personally benefit them, l heir object having been attained, or hav ing failed to attain it, theso men becomo in- liil'orciit, nnd, in time, fall into tho ranks of the noii-nffllinfcs. Of such Masons thero is no hope. They nro dead trees, having no promises of fruit. Let thm pas as utterly worthless and Incapable df improvement. Second. A class consisting of men ssho arc tho initial and Masonic antipodes of the tlrxt. Thcso mako their application fur ad mission prompted, as the ritual requires,"by a favorable opinion conceived of tho institu tion, and a desire of knowledge " As soon as they nro initiated they seo In tho ceremo nies through which they liavo passcd,a phil osophical meaning worthy of inquiry. Uicy devote themselves to this inquiry ; make themselves acquainted with tho history of the Association; investigate its origin nnd its ultimate design ; and explore the hidden sense of its symbols nnd acquire the inter' prctation. Such Masons are always useful members of the Order, and very frequently beeomo its shining lights. Third. A class between tho two above mentioned, consisting of Masons who joincc the society with unquestionable motives, and perhaps, tho best intentions, but they have failed to carry theso Intentions into effect, They have supposed that initiation was all that was rcquislto to mako them Mnsons.and that any further study was unnecessary And yet there is no want of Masonic nmbi tion in any of them, but their ambition is not in tho right direction. They have no thirst for knowledge, but they havo a very great thirst for ollice and degrees. These men do great injury to Masonry. They havo been called its drones. They arc more than that tho wasps, the deadly enemies of the industrious bees. The Doctor says that tho ultimatb success of Masonry depends on the intelligence ol her disciples. $10,000 Spent Over a Twenty-five Cent Trans action. Six years ago Messrs. Wolcott, Johnson &Co., of Freehold, N. si., sold to Lewis 1). Mount, a farmer' a twenty-five cent package of what they represented as feed that would produce excellent early turnips. The seed brought forth late-turnips, and of such a poor quality that Mr. Mount was compelled to feed them to his cattle. Mr. Mount sued for dam ages before a Justice of the Peace, and wa granted a judgement of J90 damages. The plea of tho defendants was thalthcy had pur chased the seed under the impression that il was first-class, and, having paid the ordinary price, no fraud was intended. An appeal was taken to the Court of Com mon Pleas a yoar afterward, and judgement of the Justice of the Peace was sustained by the full bench. Tho case was then carried to tho Supreme Court, and two years ago the judgment of the Common Pleas was affirmed. The caso was then taken to the Court of Errors and Appeals, and all the judges af firmed the original decision. In tho suit $101000 in legal expenses have been paid. Col. Fitzhugh, the newly-elected door keeper of Congress, tendered a position to a son of Senator Gordon, hearing which, the father wroto to tho son as follows : "Write immediately to Col. Fitzhugh. mv son, and thank him for ids consideration. And say, in addition, that by reason of cir cumstances over which you have no control, it wouiu be improper lor you to accept any appointive office under tho auspices of any political party And to settle this matter. onco for all, let it be understood that so long as I hold a position of trust and influence uy virtue ot tlio siitiragcs ol tlio legislative representatives of the people of Cieorcia, you cannot accept any appointment what ever. Jt the people, ol ueorgin should ever require your services, they will signify the fact by electing you to the portion they may desire you to fill. Hut the fact that they have chosen me to represent them in the Senate does not signify that they require your services in any capacity." How much more respected President Grant would be to-day had he adopted Senator Gordon's admirable sentiments in regard to the legion of relatives who havo importuned for and been supplied with lucrative public positions by him. Hut that isn't in his line. Grant's Strictly Auti-scctarian Schools. Tho school is open. Tho class in spelling and defining will recite. "Spell creation'." ''Creation." "Define it." "iiringing into being from nothing." "Stop! That is a re ligious idea. That is forbidden. Try again." 'That fOAer in matter by which it evolves into higher and moro perfect forms." Hold I That is an atheistic idea. That is forbidden." "Well, by Jupiter, that is tho " Stop 1 my boy, that is a Pagan idea prohibited in this school," "Spell soul," "Now defino it" "Jhe immortal substance " "Hold on! 1 hat is u religious idea, prohibited.', "Spell sin." "A transgression of tlio divine law." "I can't allow that; it is a religious idea." "That is what my book says " ''Well, all of you bring new books tomorrow." "Master, where can wo get the right kind of books?" "From General Grant." A Dangerous l'rinriple. Tlio Christian Advocate says : "The Methodist church is going into the business of making Presidents. To attempt this is stepping very far aside from the work to whtchGod calls us. We havo very cmphati cully condemned tho Catholic church as a political body working unitedly for political ends. And our ecclesiastical machinery must nut be turned to political uses. It will not-so be employed. A Methodist, whether laymun, minister or bishop, us an individual may work for General Grant or anybody else, but let him beware how he attempts to wield the power of the church as a church to accomplish his purposes. The principal is full of danger; we utteily repudiate it." Notwithstanding that the debt of the United States is-less than that of several other counttics, tho interest we pay Is great' er than fhat paid by any other nation. Great llrltuiu carries her debt at about threo per cent, interest, France at four percent, and soino other uountrlts havo negotiated their loans at as low a rate ns two per cent Tho interest paid on our national loans will average tnoro than six percent, whiln the State and county loans bear -six per cent. Thus though the prlnclpul of the debt of Great llritain(without the colonics)! nearly twice as large m ours, tho uggu-gute amount of interest is about tho same. It is time that our financial managers should reduce the rate of interest.

The trial of George W Fletcher, for tho murder of Janus Hanley, which has been in progress duriug the week, was brought to a close Friday. In charging il.o jury, Judge lliddle, to his credit bo it said, took emphat ic grounds against tho latelytidopted theory that drunkenness could bo offered as a plea in extenuation of murder. In his charge to tho jury he said, "There nover was a greater mistake or a greater libel on tlio adminis tration of justice. If drunkenness were nu excuse, it would only bo necessary for a rufllau to arm hinibclf with a deadly wea pon, go on what lie call "a drunk," and the whole community would be at Ids mercy.

DEMOCRAT, BLOCiiSI URG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. tCommuntcntcd.1 PiULAm-Lt'ittATanuary 7th, 1870. Missi'R, Editors t The cxcitcmont Inci dent to tlio Holidays seemed to increase rather than diminish tho interest in tho meet ings conducted by Messrs. Mootly and Sankey,lu tho great D'pot Hall, 13tlt nnd Market Sts,, in this city. The only meeting omitted was on Chrisunas Eve; the services appropriate to Christmas day being held on Tiiuisday evening, whero to an immense audience Mr. Moody preached from tho text, "Heboid I bring you good tiding of great jov, which shall be to all people." Mr. San key nnd somo of his preat choir sang tunc of their sweetest and most joyous Christmas hymns During tho protracted season of Inclement weather tho attendance was far beyond the expectations of any, nnd on the wont evenings tho nttendancs was not less than from fho to sir thousand, nnd when the evening was at all passable tho attend unco was much larger. With iho return of good weather comes nightly the jreat crowds of tho opening days, stud, week days and Sundays the lull U full, ten thousand being the regular audiences, with at times thousands moro turned away unable fo jet in. The desire to get seats near the plat form is so great that parties como and wait about the doors for bonis before they open, and feur and five thousand people nro often waiting for admission Many come in at the close of ono service and sit for three nnd four hours waiting for tho ni'xt one. On New Year's eve servico bejan at 9 o'cltick and nt 4 o'clock tho crowd began to gather, and at 7.30, when the doors wero open, the bouse was filled in a few minutts. The ser vice lasted from 9 till 12 o'clock, and ut each hour the doors were opened for Ingress ano egress. The Hall was densely racked during all the evening, full fifteen thousand beih present, nnd thousands were turned awa unable to get in. A few months ago "who "was sanguine enough to suppose that ten to fifteen thous' nnd people would Bit from 9 to 13 o'clock ti hear a simple presentation of the Gospel and simple songs of pniec, and that, too, 01 the New Year eve of the Centennial Year when the city Tins all ablaze with illuraiiiii' tions, fireworks, lag raising", proccsaioi s anil merry-makings, and with the excite ment in the streets seldom, if ever befon equaled ? It is fair to tuppos half of tin audience were not church goers. Mr. Mood) prcuched three most impressive sermons, and in the midst of one of them called the vanerit' bio Dr. Plummcr, of South Carolina, into tin witness stand to testify as to tho reality ol the Gospel preached, Mr. Moody propound ed some practical questions ou different phases of Chri-tian experience, and tho diffi culties met with every day in thj inquiry rooms, nnd the doctor's ready and exhaus tive answers thrilled the vast nudiencc. Dur ing the evening Mr. Sankey sang with great effect "The Ninety-and-Ninc," and othn solos, and with the choir out in full force sang a number of appropriate bymni, ar ranged for the occasion. Slips, containing the 1 lymns, had been distributed to the im mense aud enccjiind when the many thous and voices swelled the chorus, a might volume of bwect sounds of praise ascendu heavenward. On Sunday last the eigln o'clock morning lecture to Christians wn- attended by some six or seven thousand, largely tho representative Christians of om most active churches. All over tho housi t he ruitle of leaves, as passage after patsagi was referred to, showed that the audienci were noting them in their Uibles for futun use. In the afternoon the hall was crowdte with women only, and in tho evening, not withstanding the rein, n large audience oi men only were present. Many of tho prominent ministers of all de nomination? are present at every service, and among the distinguished men on tin platform other than these have been tin President ol the United States, Postmastci General Jewell, Ex-Speaker Blaine, seuators and numbers of Congress, Judge of tin United States Supremo Court, all the Judges of the PeunsjlynniuSupreme Court, Uisiiiq Vail, of the Episcopal Church, Hishop Samp son, Peck, and Haws, ol'the Methodist Epis c .pal Church, and most of the prominent citizens of Philadelphia A list of tho meet ings in a single day willgive soine idea oi the variety of work now being carried on. Each day the noonday meeting is held in the Hall and the part partitioned oh" for it, hold ing over three thousand, has had to bo en larged to accommodate tho increased daily attendance. Over a hundred have arisen loi prayer at different meetings this week. It is followed by a meeting lor men only, conduc ted by Mr. Sankey, and for women only, conducted by Mr Moody, and at the close of these inquiry-meetings are held. At 3 o' clock this week the union meetings cownec ted with the observance of tlio day of prayer are held in the Hall, following at 4 o'clock by a bible-reading by Mr. Moody. At 4.30 a meeting for young ladies only is held, and at the ".line hour one for older people. At 8 o'clock is preaching service, followed at 9 o'clock by a prayer-meeting, each for men and women only. A young men's meeting, a boy's meeting, and a meeting for thcso who havo been addicted to strong drink. Each of theso meetings is followed by a meet ing fur inquirers. Tho question most frequently asked by those interested in but not personally fuin iliar with the work is "And what is tho re sult so far." In general terms of reply the attendance nt ull tho meetings is largo be yond precedent aud the attendance all that c mid bo desired The requests for prayer presented daily aro numbered by hundreds, and ut ovcry meeting, when tho opportunity is given, verbal requests for prayer by porsons for themselves and for friends nro so nu merous that they cannot be heard. The in quiry rooms, often as they are open, have always many seeking the way of life, and tho rooms aro at tjmes so crowded that the doors liavo to be locked, And thero aro large numbers not Christians who go nway from every meeting deeply impressed to ssek advico from pastors nnd to consider it quietly at home. Largo numbers go from the inquiry.rooms after personal contact with ministers and christian workers, trust, ing Christ ns their Saviour One can scarcely come into contact with thoso engaged 'n tho Inquiry-room work without finding them ready to tell ofsome marked or inter esting special case of conversion, and tlio work is so fascinating that once in it is a sae'rltlce to remain away a single evening. Those who havo been engnged in the in qulry room wori meet with muyh less diffi culty, noy that at the opening of tlo meeting tlio inquirers theipselves sewn to unjeistiuid the plan of salvation much better, std the workers have mare experience lu presenting it, as well as tact in meeting and removing difficulties Usually met with. Any one ac quainted with the work would unhesitatingly uy tliu t many have been converted at every meeting, but how many will only bo known when the "Lamb's Hook of Life is opened?' Many churches havo already received large uccesilous, and very many moro ure upply? lug for admission. Mr. Moody has a inert-1 lug for young couvcrts every Monday Eve uuiatjd while but a small proportion of tUipt, jttou it btUivcdhtvQ been waver- I ted nttennded any one evening the number of new faces Is steadily on the increase.
