OUK FOURTH YEAR.
With tbls issue the third year of the pres
ent niaongement of the Columbian expires,
It has been our endeavor in the past to fur
nlsh n newspaper that would be interesting,
entertaining, and instructive to all classes cf
readers. The patronaga that wo hare re
celved, notwithstanding the hard times,
hows that in this effort wo have not entire
ly failed. Thoujh our list is not as large by
several hundred as it was a few years ago, it
la not because subscribers havo withdrawn
their support, but became we have (truck
from the list n large number of those who
would not pay for the paper. With the
commencement of the fourth year we shall
strike off all those remaining who have not
piid anything since October 1st, 1875. The
Columbian will continue In the future, as it
liu always betn In the past, to be a stanch
Deraocntlc piper, opposed to tho corruption
of Republicanism, the fallacies of Nation
alism, and to splits or bolts in the party. It
will never hesitate to denounce what it be
lieves to be wrong, whether in or out of the
party. The Columbian is not only the
largest paper published in the county, but
it Is offered at lower rates than any other,
a discount of 25 per cent, being allowed on
advance payments fur subscription making
the price per year one dollar and a half.
Thia offer is made to meet the exigencies of
the times, and will continue only bo long as
we see the people are ready to take advan
tage of It. The regular price is $2,00 and
no deviation will be made from this except
for advance payment. We hope to merit
the continued support of the citizens of this
county, and will not relax in our efforts to
make the Columbian a necessity in every
household.
THEIR WEAK SPOT.
Our Greenback friends, and their dupes
have not examined the question of the
Constitutionality of a further issue of green
backs as money.
Article 1, Sec. 8, Par. 5 in enumerating
the powers of Congress, says :
"To coin money, regulate the value thereof
and of foreign coin, and fix the ttandard of
weights and measures." Now to "coin money"
coin is necessary, but paper is not coin. The
Supreme Court have held, Chief Justice
Chase, the father of the paper system de
livering the opinion, that the issuance of
greenbacks is unconstitutional. To reverse
that decision Grant packed the Supreme
Court by appointing as additional members
Bradley and Strong, who earned their price
by reversing the former decision. This aet
was reprobated not only by every Domocrat
in the land, but by every sound lawyer and
jurist. But even then the Court based its
action on the ground that making green baclt
a leyal tender was a war measure and justified
by the exigencies of the timet. While it may
fca.Te.becn an excuse for an unconstitutional
act at the times, that is no reason why the
precedent should be followed. The enact
ment of unconstitutional laws, and the at
tempt at their enforcement, will lead to cha
os in the government and iu society, an
event which communists may desire, but
which every good citizen should oppose,
To sum up, Congress has no authority but
what is granted it by the" Constitution. This
point is too plain for question. The Consti
tution does not give Congress the power to
issue as currency anything but coin. Paper
is not coin.
In addition we might state that the pres
ent House of Representatives is Democratic.
TTte incoming Senate is strongly so, and
cannot be changed for a dozen years. The
Supreme Court is strongly opposed to this
modern heresy, and cannot be altered in
twenty five years. Within that time this
new tangieu movement will nave died a
natural death as did Know-Notblngism, and
other issues, and tbo honest masses who have
been induced to stray from the teachings of
the fathers, will find that they have been
made the dupes of political mounte-banks,
who are fusing them for selfish purposes.
When the Democrat are on the point of
ascendancy, it is cowardice to desert to a
guerrilla band.
NOT YET.
Many of tho opposition predict, and a few
Democrats fear that in the impending crisis
our party will be captured by the dissatisfied
dements of all the old parties. Not Yet,
nd cspecially'when they are led by such men
as Ben. Butler, Kearney, Cohen, Smith apd
Orvis. We agree with the rottsvilte Chroni
etc, "that so long as the life-blood of popular
liberty flows in tho veins of the race so long
as the republic endures there will bo a dem
ocratic party." It has stood at the cradle and
the grave of half a dozen opposing organiza
tions. All its instincts are on on tho side of
the people. lor fourscore years of our na
tional life it has been the historic frieud and
champion of human labor and the steadfast
foe of the money power. It held the reins of
power for almost tixty yean of continuous
rule. It tripled tho territorial extent of the
republic It struck down the old money pow
er of tbo United States bank and gave the
people an independent treasury. It found
the republic a feeblo littlo confederacy, skirt'
ing tho Atlantic and struggling over the
mountains westward. It left it a mighty na
tion girded by tho oceans, tbo lakes and tho
gulfs. Tho last ten years of its power were-
the brightest in the annals of American pros,
perity. For the last eighteen years it has not
been in power, but it has battled on as. of old
for tho constitutional rights of the states and
of the people. Out of power as well as in.
it has been tho steadfast foe of the moseyed
monopolies. In such an hour when tho ooun
try has so great need of its services, it would
be strange indeed if democrats should aban-
don their organization and desert their old
flag. There are most conclusive and urgent
reasons for sticking together. There is no ex
cuse- for any democrat to leave his party to
vote for currency or governmental refurm
There are reasons why men who havs acted
with tho republican party thould leavo the
organization, even if they throw away their
votes on a third ticket. Hut now that the dem
ocratio party has compelled Iho country (o
recognise and endorse its creed now that it
will have control of both houses of congress
and of twenty four states in the Union, it isn1
likely it is going to permit itself to be swallow
ed.
THE "NATIONAIj" CIRCUS.
This now celrbratrd troupo had an enter-
t-tlnment in this county on Tuesday last,
l"lie first performance was nt Orangevlllo in
tbc aftornoon,but only two or three hundred
people were in attendance. In the evening
an entertainment was held at the Opera
House in this place, and it was filled with
spectators anxious to know how to avoid the
hard times." The proceedings were open
ed by an imported mlntrel troupo of two
men, who did pretty well, but still are Infe
rior to Carncross A Dixey's show. Then ap
peared Mr. Mason, the Labor candidate for
Governor, lie is of prepossessing appear
ance, and speak well. In severe terms he
arraigned the Republican pirty for Its vl
cious financial legislation, to all which wo
asjree. In vivid terms ho painted the hard
ship ol the times, which nobody disputes,
Hut he utterly failed to point out the remedy,
True, be said that everything would he love
ly If he, and those of his faith were elected,
but the people will want to see some other
remedy. As he spoke one and three-quarter
hours, we have not space enough this week
to review Ills speech In detail, ills many
misstatements are refuted by the olil
c'al records, and show how easy an Ignorant
man may be gulled. He was opposed to
forcd resumption. So is the Democratic
party. It not only said so in its Platform,
but passed a bill to that effect in the House
of Representatives, but it was defeated by
the Republican msjority in the Senate. But
he forgot to add that the act goes into ef
feet on tho First of January, and the Con
gress to bi elected this year docs not meet
until a year from next December, so that
even if the Greenback party should succeed
they could not stay its operations.
He was in favor of remonctization of sil
ver. Why the Democrats passed a bill to
that effect, and it is now in operati on. Mr
Mason, therefore, must bo a hard money
man, and in favor of a currency that has in
trinsic value. His tirade against corpora'
tiens was weak, arid unworthy of the man
If there were no corporations where would
the laboring men get work ? If corpora
tions ceased to exist, how would Mercer
county! develop its oil, our people mine
coal, our furnaces get or keep in blast, or
Mason cme t Bloomsburg on a free pass I
Besides, Mr. Mason is a corporation lawyer,
His wealth has been gained from them, and
if they are grasping and unmerciful, Mr,
Mason Itas been their trusted counsellor.
Lack of space prevents us from reviewing
the speech further this week. It is remark
able, however, that at no time did be touch
upon State questions, the vital ones now at
issue. The Governor, Lieut. Governor,
Judgo of ourjiupreme Court, and Secretary
of Internal Affairs, have no more to do with
the finances of the nation, than the Khedive
of Eypt.
The performance very appropriately clos
ed by a aeries of laughable conundrums be,

SENATORIAL CONFERENCE.
All tho counties composing tho XXIV tl
senatorial district having held their conven
tions and named a candidate, tho next thing
in order is the holding of the conference
mako a nomination for tho district. Tho
counties havo mado the following nomina
tions :
Columbia E. J. McIIenry.
Lycoming John Piatt.
Montour Thomas Chalfant.
Sullivan George D. Jackson
The conference will meet in Williamsport
Tuesday, October 1st, to ballot for a candi-
date. Each county is entitled to two confei
ces, and as there are four candidates and
least two counties are tenacious of their claims
a spirited and protracted contest is not im
probable.
Lycoming has just had two terms, and
therefore should step down and out. Mon-
tour has had the Senator since Columbia, and
as Senator Chalfant wa9 always a stickler for
"rotation he should not seriorsly claim
nomination now.
At tho Imt election for State Senator
1876, the vote stood as follows :

ther equity nor reason should make one man
in Sullivan equal to five in this county. Wo
therefore claim that we are entitled to tho

BEX. BUTLER REPUDIATED.
The regular Democratic convention of
Massachusetts met in Boston on the 25th,

All who are familar with the workings of our
courts are aware that a vast amount of useless
itigation is the result of a frco-and-casy way
f conducting business. Nothing is easier than
for men to honestly differ regarding a matter
of which they have no record. Tho following
well limed paragraph from the Potter Enter
prise should be heeded ; "Dusiness carried
on verbally sometimes answers every purpose,
but iu many cases it is inexpedient and fre
qnently results in trouble and litigation put all
contracts in writing and take receipts for all
monies paid out, however trifling tho amount
may ue. .uany misunuersiauings result Irom
tho looso way in which important business mat
tcrs aro talked over, and after each party has
put his or her own construction on the con,
traot, the matter is dropped with expression
of "all right" from each. In many cases
proves "all wrong" aud affords n little job for
lawyers, juries and courts. If persons persist
cd in pnttiug their agreements in writing;
mnch litigation wonld bo avoied."

Why Should a Democrat Join the Green
barkers ?
There Is no conceivable reason. By doing
o he takes at least onn vote from the Dem
ocrats, and gives the Republicans that
much better chance for success. If enough
Democrats join tho Grcenbackers to give
tho Republicans mccss, what follows?
Clearly the firm establishment of all the
measures of which tho Oreeiibafkers corn-
lain, for all these measures were passed by
the Republicans when they had the Presi
dent, anil large insjnrltles in both branches
of Congress. If the Republicans are again
successful, they will continue the measures
they have heretofore passed and bus
talned In operation. Any one may clearly
see, therefore, that continued Republican
success Is to continue all the governmental
extravagance, corruption, hard times and
public oppression that tho measures of the
Republican party have produced.
Let.every Democrat-Greenbackerjask him.
self the question, why should lie ah,
stract his vote from the democrats, and thus
help to continue the Republicans in power?
Success to the Greenbackers is utterly and
palpably iinposslble.nnil a vote fur the "Na
tionnl" State candidates is, therefore, a vote
merely thrown away.
Why should any Democratic-Greeubaek
er abandon his party now, when after long
tribulation, It Is on the point of success?
With a majority only In the lower House
of Congress, and with the President and
Senate against it, the Democratic party has
favored the ideas of tho Greenbackers
By compelling the remonctization of sil
ver
lly stopping the further destruction of
grftnbacks
By passing in tho House a bill requiring
the government to receive greenbacks the
same as gold In the payment of duties,
which would soon have brought them to
par
ity attempting to repeal the arbitrary re,
sumption act, and drawing its most poison
ous fangs by making the silver dollar a le
gal tender
It has diminished an unnecessarily larg
standing army thus saving millions and
has reduced the enormous Balarii s and ex
travagant perquisites of high army officers
and retired the useless ones thus saving
millions more
It has taken the sword and the bayonet
from the throats of the Southern people,and
thus permitted them again to assume self-
government and re-instate prosperity thus
restoring a trade by which the Northern
people in times of Democratic government
and in future will again mako hundreds of
millions of profits for the people of the
North
The Democratic party in Congress has
proposed and endeavored to pass every possi
bie measure of economy and reform, an
has been defeated in its full purposes only
by the opposition and obstinacy of the Re,
publican Senate and President.
There is not a just and proper measure of
reform that the Democratic-Greenbacker fa
vors that has not in the past been and will
in the future be supported by the old Dem
cratic party then why shall the Greenback
er now abandon it ?
Come back, friend Democratic-Green

can be crushed, never can be permanently

Outlawed Claims.
Several correspondents have recently ad
dressed The Times asking explanation of the
different phases of outlawed debts under our
State laws. The repeal of the Bankrupt law
restores all of the old State statutes relating
to the collection of debts, and the long su
ordination of the local laws of debtor an
creditor to the national bankruptcy act, has
made business men, as a rule, unfamiliar
with the Urs now In force.
The statutes limltiug the period for the
collection of debts in Pennsylvania, vary
with the varied forms of claims against
debtors. In case of an ordinary promissory
or commercial note or book account, recovery
is barred by the statute in six years. It
must be specially pleaded in the action, and
the limitation is defeated by any proven
promise of the debto- within six years, in
ucli form as creates n new contract to pay.
A debtor who has paid any part of the claim
principal or interest, within six years, there
by gives a new assumption that makes the
statute of limitations date anew from that
perioj.
All notes or o her obligations under seal
are valid claims against debtors for twenty
years, and then they are not absolutely bir
red by the statute. A debt of that character
including judgments of record, on which no
payment has been made by the debtor and
(i measures taken by the creditor for col
lection, is presumed by the law to have been
paid ; but the creditor may rebut the pre
sumption by proving nou-payment,and thu8
make the claim a legal debt again. The
burden of proof, however, is wholly on the
creditor to prove that the debt has not been
paid, as the presumption of law Is wholly
hum tbe debtor.
The Hen of a judgment expires in five
years from the date of Its record. If not re-
newed by legal proceedings or amicable scire
facias, within five years, it loses Its priority
of lien, although it is legal evidence of debt
for twenty years, when the presumption of
payment arises. The only effect of the fail
ure to revive a judgment within five years, is
to give priority to subsequent Hens. In
other words a judgment that has been of
record over five years, is postponed in its
lien to any later judgments entered before
its revival,
All obligations under seal as well as ac
counts and every form of debt except Btrict-
ly 'commercial paper,' when assigned and
transferred to a new purchaser, carry with
them all the equities between the original
contracting parties; and any legal set-off that
existed between them at the time, or that
has arisen between them after the transfer,!
a legal set-off as against the claim of th
purchaser. Commercial notes make the only
exception to the rule that enables the debtor
to claim equitable credits against the holde
of his obligations, and if they are transferred
after maturity, they are also subject to all
equities between the original parties to the
transaction.
Debts and contracts of all kinds are Inter
preted and enforced according to the laws o
tbe State In which the contract Is made, no
matter what may bo the laws on like que
tions in the State where parties seek to en
force them, Iu all matters of remedy, the
law of tbe State where remedy is sought
governs tbe proceedings, but obligations are

PARIS LETTER.
Paius, August 30th 1878,
After all, thcro is this much to admire, to
wonder nt and to philosophise over in a Uni
vcr.sal hthibition, in tho fact that each of
these shows is, after its kind, unique, and
that tho thing in it complete entirety can
never ho seen again. Its component parts
may hc,nnd in all probability, will lie, brought
together again, sinco one half of tho world is
never tired of shop-keeping, r, at least, of
storing into shop windows thinking what it
would buy if it only had the money. And,
in truth, a modern Exposition is, abstractedly
only a manner of kaleidoscope. Tho manu
facturers and tho shopkeepers havo nn cn

to bo enthusiastic about anything, but in no
direction is enthusiasm of the gushing kind
so much to bo deprecated as in the case of
International hxhibitious as "Congresses of

this need not prevent our enjoying the di S'
play of all the Kingdoms of the World and
tho glories thereof which Satan and th
French people have grouped together hero
for our temptation.
Iu decorative bronzo sculpture, as I have
more than once observed, the French aro well
nigh unapproachable. In inaiblo statuary
they hold their own very nobly, although they
are closely oppressed by the Italians ; hut in
ccclesia-tieal decoration, and even in ure na
tive architecture,! can but think that France,
through her aldictedness to florid color and
excessive ornamentation, is very seriously ret
rograding. That the paintings executed by
M. Paul Baudry at the New Grand Opera
House are truly magnificent, and that th
proportions of that edifice are very grandio
mti'-t at at cure bo obvious, but I was born
cither too caily or too lato to appreciate the
beauty oi the Opera House facade. It seems
to me a meretricious mass, the whole effect ot I
which notnithstanding all tho costliness of
the materials of which it is c imposed and all
the consummate plastic skill which has bcci
lavished on its adornment, is not, to my mind
more attractive than M'Giraudin's sweet stuff
shop on the Hue de la Paix. And I am pos
itivcly sure that I never paw anything more
architecturally hideous than tho exterior of
tho Exhibition Pah-ice of the Trocadero,
the facade of tbo Champ dc Mars Palace
witli its clumsy figures looking towards th
terrace of tbo llridge of Jena. Tho two tow
ering iioita's which give entrance to the to
cal exhibits of La Villc de Paris and the Gal-
eric des Beaux-Arts arc equally disastrous
examples of a deteriorated taste, in tho way
of meagie and pmeity stricken design, bol
stered up by excess of carvinjr, gilJmg und
adornment of every degree: of garishness It
is very irritatiug to observe this and to con
trast it with tho exquisite refinement and
taste which tho Frcncli modeller and art
worker bestows on tho conception and execu
tion of tho most trifling hibtlol a mirror, a
wa-hstoud, a lady's chatelaine, a pen tray, or
paper wei 'lit. Abating tho displays of
Sevres, Heauvai's aud the Gobelins, the car
pets, the marble statuary, and Gustavo Dare's
asc, there is very little on a large Vcalo in
tho French department that can bo called ele
gant. Die little things aro supremely taste
ful and beautiful. They seem to have gone
to work more earnestly and more thoughtful
ly in tho illustration of the products of Lilli-
put than in those of Urabdingnaz ; and after
all tho author of tho Tableau de Paris may
havo been hitting tho right nail on tho head
in saying that Frenchmen aro always serious
in little things, and always frivolous in great
ones.
The Bibliothcque Monumcntallo is a collec
tion of translations in all known languages of
Ihe Ilulla Infulabllis in which was formula
ted and proclaimed the dogma of the immac-
ulato conception, It is displayed in a case
which extorts admiration for the sumptuous-
nessol'its materials, and tho marvellous ex
cellence of the main d' oeuvre. It is altogeth
er an exceptional production ; and, looking
at it, we may, for once, put the canons of fine
taste on the shelf ; but tho examples of ex
clusively ecclesiastical decoration which I havo
seen in tho French saloons of tho Exhibition
aro 1 think detestable. There was an art
critic onco who said that although he c-snsid
ercd Michael Angelo to bo tho greatest artist
that ever lived, he hated his memory liccauso
his example had been the means of producing
the detestable Bernini. Unless I am mis
taken the name ot tho ait critic was
Thiers. Bernini however had his admi
rers : among them Sir Christopher Wren,
who went over to Paris to confer with him :
hut complained that tho cralty Italian would
not allow luui to study tho drawings that bo
had made fur the works at Versailles and the
Louvro. Hut imagine tho disciples of Bcr
nini, not as architects but as iculptors and
decorators. Imagine tho preposterous atti
tudes, tho tempest tossed and tormented dra
peries of Ilerniui's figures imitated by tenth
rato modellers, trying to be classio or Oothio
with the Itenatssanco in their hands and
paganism in their hearts.

Its system ot nnance has been onn or favnrto
moneyed monopoly, of unequal taxation, ot exemp

morseless contraction, which has destroyed every

flt HUH IKnilU, UJCII DUUSUIUW.
Tho only remedy for these evils Is an entire
change of policy and the dethronement or those In

And we resolve that further contraction of the
volume of United states le?al tender notes is unwKn
nnd unnecessary. They should be received for cus
toms ii ui lea anu rcu-suea as rast as receirea.
Gold sliver and United Malts legal tender notes
at par therewith, are Just basis for paper clrcula-
uuu.
A close connection of the federal tmvernmenf with
the business Interests of the neoDie. through nntinn.
al banks, tends to monopoly and centralization, but.
In changing the system, uniformity of notes, securi
ty to the note bolder, and protection ot the capital
Invested, should be provided for.
Treasury noM.lssued in exchange for bonds.bear
Ing a low rate of interest, Is the best form In which
the credit ot tho government can bo given to a paper
utoor ana capital nave equal demands upon and
responsibilities to law. commerce and munurnc.
tures should be encouraged, so that steady work and
fair wagea may bo yielded to labor, whilst safety ot
Investment and moderate returns for Its use belong
to capital. Violence or breach of order In aupport ot
tho real or supposed rights of either should be promt
ly suppressed by the strong arm of the law,
Tho Republican party, by Its legislation lnl67S,
which reduced the tariff oa bituminous coal from

the Industries and labor of IVnnsj Ivanla.
The public lands are tho common property of the
