THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCE AT, BLOOMSBURGr, COLUMBIA COl NTT, PA. BE0CEWA7 EL7TELL,EdlUri. BmOMSBURG, PA. Friday. Mnroh 28, 18V O. "STICK." When tlie lying Stanton was about to bo deposed as Secretary of war by President Jolir.soti, Senator Sumner rent word to Ptanton to "Stick." TMs event, with ollim, iirotlticiil a collision between Congress tiuil the Kxicutlve. I-ngan, a head of the met nrpanlrnllon known at tlift Grand Army of the Republic, oflVred lt Services to Congress. Governors tendered the aid of their mllltta, anl lending generals of thn army plotted treann against their Commnn tier In-Chief and tlm country. The l'rcl dent was stripped of, or crippled In patron ge, and only a rertaln class of his appoint ments could be confirmed, Ho was at last lmp ached by the House, and the lUdioals lacked but one vote to succeed in the Sen ate. The people have rcvered all this. Thn Democrats have both Senate and Hons", as well as a large majority ot the States. Their President was elected by a quarter of n million majority, though not seated because o' tho most gigantic fraud In modern his lory. Tho Republicans having been hurled from power by an Indignant people, are now raislnga howl because frauds upon which they thrived are being unearthed, and so far as possible the perpetrators nre being punished. They complain also because the Democrats are abolishing useless oilicea and cutting down the expenses of others, But their terror and threats are especially caused by the firm determination of Con Kress to repeal the jurors' test oath law. By it men who participated in the war are ex eluded from federal juries. A man may ait in Congress, or hold any other office, but this relic of "reconstruction" times debars Mm from sitting as a juror if he ever partlclpn ted In the rebellion. Even Hayes' Post Master General is debarred by it. The next point of attack should be the infamous law for the appointment of Supervisors of elections. It was ordained for the purpose of perpetuating Republican rule by force, intimidation, and fraud. Its machinery cost the people la 1878 $270,000. Tbe monstrous power conferred by the supervisor law is in plain conflict with the Constitution, which declares, "No person halt be deprived of life, liberty, or proper ty without due process of law." Sectlou 6, 622 of the Revised Statutes not only forbids Interference by any State authority with "supervisors of election, or either of them, or the marshal, or his general or special deputies, or either of them," but provides that every person who "refuses or neglects to aid and assist any supervisor of election or tbe marshal, or his general or special deputies, or either of them, in the perform anceof his or their duties, when required by him or them, or either of them, to give such aid and assistance, shall be liable to in stant arrett without proccu, and shall be punished by imprisonment not more than two years, or by a fine of not more than three thousand dollars, or by both such fine and imprisonment, and shall pay the costs of prosecution." The attempted exercise of less tyrannical powers caused our fore-fathers to assemble at Ruunymede in 1215, and they extorted from King John Magna Charla which con tains this noble sentence, " We will sell to no man, we will not deny or delay to any man right or justice I Acts less arbitrary than this caused King Charles the First to lose his head. Rut this law gives power to low political hirelings to arrest without warrant, hearing, or appeal, and innocent men, under its provisions, are not only deprived of their votes, but may be imprisoned and fined. The law being contrary to the Constitu tion and oppressive, we say to Congress "Stick," and wipe from our statute book this blot upon our free institutions, aud the people will sustain you. A CRAZE FOU CMXS.-ONK CENT WORTH ONE llUNUIlKD DOLUltS. Old American coins are getting very scarce on this side of the water. Among those greatly in demand are the cents of 1793. which belong to the first series of United States copper coinage, and were coined this city at tbe old Mint, which was then Io cated at Seventh and Filbert streets. Anoth er scarce coin Is the 1787 cent, which was designed by Benjamin Franklin and coined in Hartford, 1793 cents are very rare. So also are the silver dollars made in tbe old Philadelphia Mint in 1794. One of these which is safely locked up iu the British Mu seum cost that institution $1,000. Silver quarter dollars coined in 1823-27 are worth $100 each. Silver half dimes, issued from the Mint in 1802, are also at a premium, and all efforts to obtain any of them to complete sets, even at the figure of $100, proved fu tile. Silver dollars of 1804 are extremely scarce, ouly five, so far as known, being in exis tence. Three of the be are owned in Kng land, and are valued at $1,000 each. Half dollars of 179G-97 coinage are worth V0, and the same figure is offered for a 1799 cent or a half cent of 179G. Notwithstanding these high prices, collectors say that in tell in; again abroad they average 100 per cent profit. They also say that tbe fictitious val ue of coins has increased 100 per cent dur ing the last five years, while the tendency I: stMl upward. Kxpeiimental coins are great ly in demand, and the goloid dollars, which were recently coined as a sample for the Government, are worth $25 to the collectors, Philadilphia Jleeord.

At tho Opera Houo on Wednesday evening of last week nn immense crowd attended tho exercises of tho Frccdnicii's Aid Society. It Is estimated that there were otleat fourteen hun- ilred people present. During tho progress of tho exercises thcto was loud applause, damp ing of feet, fcrcams and whistling. Binco then, many visitors havo expressed their sur prise nnd amazement at such conduct in n ro ligous meeting, and the impression has gono abroad that tho pcoplo of this town nro n dis orderly act of rowdies who do not know how to behavo thtinsclvcs. We regret that thero should have lieon any occasion for tho numerous rematks of censure and disapprobation that havo been called out by tho occurrences of that evening Ulooni'bnrg has nlways enjoy oil tho reputation of being a quiet, law abi ding town, with strong religious tendencies, and it is unfortunate that anything occurred during tho Confcreno to givo n different im pression, lliit whilo it is a fact that tho con duct of aomo was disgraceful, wo cannot allow tho charge against our general refinement and propriety In pass by unnoticed without n word in sclfdefcnsc. In tho first pl.ieo thero was an unusual inducement for a largo attend nnco. A company of co'ored vocalists was announced to Iks present and sing a number of plantation songs. No admission feo was charged, the doors were open to the world without any retrain!, and the consequence was that the gallery and some other parts of thu hall contained an clement of toeicty that cxits in almost every place, but which docs not oltcn inako Its appearance at public en. tcrtainmcnts, because they are prevented eith er by admission feo or by nolico regulations, In the second place, tho inoJting was not n. religious meeting. There were threo speech cs made, nnd whilo that of Col. Jackson was n fair, practical address, tho other two were simply repetitions of tho old radical abolition speeches of twenty years ago. Tho meeting was therefore uiado a political gathering, by the character of tho remarks, and the noisy part of tho audience lost sight of the fact that they were attending tho exercises of a re igious organization. The applauso was first started on tho lloor by members of tho confer' enco and others who do not by any means belong to tho rabble. This gave the gallery h cense, aud they added to it by screams and whistling. We do not wish to bo understood as reflecting on tho conferenco, as it, as a body, was not responsible for tho speeches, and we know that numbers of the clergy were indignant, aud by no means approved of tho rcmarka of tho speakers. Political .speeches arc all right at tho proper time and place, but they aro entirely out of order during tho scs' sions of a religious body. Thero were no police icgu'atlons at tho rial1 that night. If a few officers had been cnga god by tlioso whoso duty it was to make such arrangements, and if tho speakers had not changed tho character of the meeting them selves, and if tho brethren in front had not li censed the galleries to applaud by example, no one would havo had occasion to say that they were amazed at tho rough character of a Bloomsburg audience. Finally, as a matter of fact, fully one-half of the audience was made up ot members of tho conference, and pcoplo from the neighbor ing villages and country. It is therefore not fair to pay that all the noise was mado by the Bloomsburg half. We are willing tobecharg' cd with what belongs to our account, but uu der all the circumstances it appears that when the blame for the disorder of that night is justly distributed, tho citizens of Bloomsburg come iu only for a small share. The sermon of Bishop R. S. Foster of the M. E. Church at the Opera House on last Sunday morning is spoken of on every side as one of the ablest ever delivered in this town. The house was crowded to excess, and hundreds were disappointed by not be Ing able to obtain admission. That tbe Bishop is broad and liberal in his views, if lie be the same man, we gather from tho following extract which we clip from nn ex change. ''Preaching recently in the North End M. E, church at Boston, Bishop Foster paid a high tribute to Catholics. Among other things he said : "I have a great deal of re' spect for Roman Catholics and the Roman Catholic Church, and the feeling becomes stronger as I grow older. I do not think we can afford to criticise Catholics until we dis play at least equal zeal in the service of the Master. Who are they whose feet go clatter ing by our bouses these cold winter morn ins before daylight ? Who are they who fill their churches to worship God while we are in our beds ? Who throng our streets prayer-book in hand, reverent faces, aye, and perhaps with as reverent hearts as any of you bear 7 They are zealous, faithful Catholics, who believe in the truth of their Church, and feel that through it alone they can worship the God whom they (Var nnd love. To what church do those self-sacrificing communities belong that toil from morn lug until uight lor the good of God's peo pleT Who are these who come herefrom foreign lands, poor aud strange, with noth ing but a spade, and have erected temples that put us to shame 7 Isn't the poor ser vant girl, who lays a tithe of her earnings on the altar of God, sincere In her belief, and will she not find favor In God's eyes?" On tho first of next mouth an opportunity will be given to try experimentally a kind of GovernmentSavings I und. The certificates of djpo'it of tho denomination of $10, to bo issued then and thereafter, bear interest at the rata of four per cent, per annum, but they do not fully answer tho purpose of a savings fund, because they aro uot directly redeemable, but may bo converted into four per cent, bonds. Ten dollars having been invested in a certificate, tha holder, to realize upon it, must tell it at its market value, or having five of them, convert it into a bond, and sell that at its market value. The certifi cates will, however, bo very uselul to those who desire to buy bonds out of small savings for a permanent investment. They can by mcausofthe certificates gaiu four per cent, interest on each ten dollars saved, instead of hoarding the money witlnut profit to them-i-elves until they obtained fifty dollars. There is besides a real advantage to the p or man in having his small savings put where, with perfect security that ho can recover, thero is still ulittlo obstruction io the way of his doing so. Tills prevents him from wistiuj his sav ings. The certificates may do the tamo for tho spendthrift man that the little toy savings bank (without a cashier) eloas for tho child audits pennies; teach him the advantages of self-denial and the truth ofsomo old proverbs.

The undersigned unite In this call In the belief that there Is n general desire among the friends f temperatico for n united State Convention, for tho purpose of comparing vlos and devising method' of relief from the burdens of the liquor system. Tho last meeting of tills kind was In 1871. Alter tho late war, from 1S67 to 1871, eajh year witnessed such gatherings fur counsel and concurrent action, These meetings were followed by earnest appeals for the suppres sion of the license system, and the enact ment of prohibitory laws, which resulted In the passage of n Local Option law, by the L-gWalureyf 1872 -intended In 1873. Embracing thn opportunity thus alforded, the electors of forty-two of slxtyslx coun ties, voted agalii-t llcene. As results ol right law and right action, peace, prosperity tsscned criminality and taxes followtd al most Immediately, and the liquor trade was greatly reduced. Tho Internal Revenue Reports show n ile- creaso of 22 Distilleries and 205 Breweries, in this stale, from 1873 to 1875. The pto ceo ings of tho Beer Brewers' Congress for 1875 say, "The Local Option law of Penn sylvania reduced thu Breweries" In that stato from 500 In 1873, to 31(1 In 1871," nml de plore "adecreaso in Pennsylvania of 53,930 bnrrcls of beer" in 1S7-1, and of "107,421 gallons," or 33,575 barrels less in 5870 than in 1S74. "Very severe they nay, is the injury which the Brewers havo sustained lu tho so-called temperatico states." "Thero is mi doubt they continue, that, tho temper ance agitation and prohibitory laws are the chief ciiuscs," etc. We all remember that families and com munities pro'pered as tho manufacture and sale of liquors diminished under Local Op tion. Vice, crime, poverty, disturbance of ho streets, and Irroligion nro thus again shown to be Inevitable sequences of liquor selling, and that the latter rises in power for evil just in proportion as it is able to secure tho protection of law. Without animadverting upon anyone, we shall be credited when we say that it was an evil day nnd a wicked blow against the bestjnterests of our state, when, against the protests of thousands of petitioners, and without re-submission to the people, the Legislature and Executive repealed that law, and remanded those no-license districts back to a rejected license law. The tyranny of this act is inoro apparent when we re member that no convention of the people, either political or non-political, asked for such au overthrow of the popular will, though large and earnest conventions, nnd thousands of petitioners protested against such action. Thus, evil triumphed 1 But, if we do our duty, "the triumphirg of tho wicked will ha short." That power which frameth mischiefbyalaw," shall be overthrown I With the evil comes this good : we can coutrast the two years of no license, with the three that have succeeded the repeal of Local Option, and learn its value as n law. To overcome tho evil we deplore will ro quire tho expenditure of time and money, and earnest prayer for the blcising of God. Tho work cannot be accomplished in any other way. Relieving that the true line of thought and effort is now more clearly seen by tho masses than ever before, and that public sen timent demands the suppression of the man ufacture, importation and sale of of intoxica ting liquors for drickin? purposes, we, ns rep resentatives of Churches, Colleges , Semina ries, Sous of Temperance, Good Templars, Temples of Honor, Woman's Christian Tem perance Unions, Reform Clubs, Prohibition Alliances, Law and Order Associations, Pro hibitory Patty Clubs, Young Men's Chris tian Associations, etc , cto , invito one and all to send not icss than two delegates from each body to a State Tempcranco Convention to be held at Ilarrisburg, on Thursday and Friday, April 24th and 2jth, 1879. The Con vention will open in tho Court House at 11 a, m , Thursday. There will ''c an hour of de votion from 10 to 1 1 a. m. Let us como together for earnest prayer and consultation about the greatest and gravest question of our timo. Laying nsido for this occasion, our special methdus of action, let us seek to unite upon some plan of legislative id lief from tho present ovils of the terrible li quor system. Do not let any ordinary excuso keep you away from this Convention I Lt it be such a gathering as shall clearly express tho will oftlu people I Let all classes and all professions of both sexes, unite in ouo ear nest effort to make this Convention helpful to the cau"0 of temperance.

A republican organ sadly reflects that there are no colored men in the XLVIth Congrcsr, Well, who is to blamo for that? There aro a good many districts in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania andOiiio from which tho republicans could havo elected colored men to Cougress had they been so disposed. Tho ne groes serve tho purpose of "voting cattlo"but when offices and honors are to be distributed they aro shared among the white republicans. It there wcro any sincerity in the protesta tions of regard fur the colored brethren in which tho republicans indulge, so much more than oue northern district would be represent ed in Congress by capable colored men. But if republicans persistently neglect their cob ored brethren they havo no cause to reproach thu democrats. Patriot, WAflUINGTON LETTER.

Now that Congress has completed Its organization, the Senato distributed Its pittance of official patronage, and speaker Rindall Is Immersed In the committee making problem, a thank- ess task In which he will plono and offend everybody, the question Is, what next 7 The wires may tell before this letter reiches you, but there is nn answer to the question, at this end nf tho line, nt the present writing. The joint caucus nf the now politically con cordant legislative bodies will agreo upon a business programme fir tho session. At present the Senate Is disposed to adjourn as aoon as the bills, for which the extra session was called, are passed. The House, on the contrary, seems disposed to plunge Into gen eral legislation and revise and expunge gen erally. A'Ummer in Washington lias no terrors for members from Memphis, New Orleans and thereabouts, ao thev are in fa vor of revising the tarilf, amending the In ternal revenue Uw, and inflating the cur rency. Many believe that Congress will remain In sf sslon all summer. There Is great newspaper clamor for an early adjournment, but it is doubtful whether the American vo ter is at the bottom of it. Members of Congress are paid by tho year, and there would seem to be no reason why they should not make bills, motions, amendments, rise to points of order, nnd personal explanation all through the summer. If members of Congress were paid only for the time they are at the Capital and attending to legitl mato congressional business, the public treasury would save money, and somo mem' hers would get less than half their salary, If Congress really wishes to pass a useful law let it enact a bill appointing a time clerk who shall keep a record of the time of each member and pay him only for the time that he is attending to the public business. The millionaire senator from Neyada, who was present in the Senate, if I am not mistaken only sixty five days during the four years since he was elected, had the effrontery and dishonesty to draw his pay for the full time, amounting to more than $20,000, and includ ing $125 fur stationery. There is a law on the statute book to this effect : "The secretary of the Senato and the ser- eant-at-arms of the House, respectively, shall deduct from the monthly payments of each senator, member, or delegate tbe amount of his salary for each day that he has been absent from the Senate or House respectively, unless Mich member or dele gate asigus as the reason of such absence the sickness of himself or some member of his family." Now, will some one sue the Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate for money illegally paid ? tuesday the 20th, inst, will be remember ed In the Senate for Its lively interchanges of rhetoric, parliamentary of course, but verging on the language of Billingsgate, Senator Blaine said to Senator Hill : "don't be childish," and Senator Eaton told Sena tor Blaine that his talk was babyish. All this was on the subject of electing a secre tary, sergeant-at-arms, and other officers of Democratic precedents and proclivities to tie ollices that have been held by Republi cans. Theso officers are about one hundred In number and they will all be filled by Democrats. On Monday, Iu the rooms of Representa' tive Kelhy, tne Greenback Congressman held a caucus in which they agreed to vote with the Democrats for the repeal of the test oath, and tbe law allowing the soldiers to be sent to polling places, and for modi fyiug the supervisors law. The Greenback era hope that their financial schemes will be supported Tiy a sufficient number of Demo cratic votes to give them "the balance of poner," and their fraternization with Dem ocrataon political questions will be diplomat ic and with this expectation. A sub-corn mittee nt the caucus was appointed to pre pare a bill authorizing the issue of millions of greenbacks, tbe redemption of United States bonds in legal terders, and, In other respects, to carry out the plans of the Na tional party. Whatever may be the policy of the two great parties, with regard to the length nf the session, it is plainly the inten tlon of the Grcenbaekers to contend for more paper money, "if it takes all summer;'1 aud, if the majority shall decide to adjourn after passing the appropriation measures they will endeavor to foster their financial bill to one of the appropriation bills and pass it through. The Grcenbaekers will doubtless be able to form a coalition with some men in both parties who have similar views, but the strength of the coalition can not be determined until it is tested by actual vote. O A. 8. In tho general appropriation bill now before tho House at Ilarrisburg tho sum of $540,000 is appropriated for the payment of the ex pen.-es of tho Legislature for 1879 ; for the pay aud mileage of members, for tho pay and mileage of tho clerks and other employcsof both houses, for postage stamps for tho oieni bers and clerks, and for postage ntf the Leg niii're Record. This sum of $540,000 is tho outsido figure ; that is, it is a sum sufficient to cover all the pay and expenses of the mem bers for a session of one hundred and Gfty days, the utmost limit all iwel. It is at the 'ruto of $3,G00 a day for every day, including the threo or four days of each wtek that they do not sit. Nobody Is ridiculous enough to supposo that it could not have done the ono hundred days of the regular session all that was required, and an adjournment in that timo would save the State $180,000. Io stead of doing this, however, it generally pro (era to waste timo discussing ths reduction of salaries of Stato officials, witli tho alleged de sire of saving fifteen or twenty thousand dol lars n year. The imitation statesman knows his business. Tima, Tho Republicans are liorriQeJ at tho poiil Lility that the Democratic Congress may attach to tho appropriation bills, clauses rcpealiog the outrageous laws creating I'ederM Super vi-tors ot hlections aim establishing a test oath fir jurors. Inasmuch as these measures were passed by attaching them to appropria tion bills, there should bo no Hpicaling if tlioy arc repealed in tho same manner. Somehow theso republicans can't get over the fact that they aro not running tho Qoverumcnt ma qhinB as much as they did. tForthoCotsnsUK.) Messrs.

I began a aeries of meetings with tho Church of Chrit nt tho Lower Jackson Chapel, on tho ovenln? of Dec. 22d nnd continued the meetings until tho eveuiug of Jan. 20th, reaching In nil 33 tunes. Tho immcdiato tcsult was, thiritysovcn hearing, behoved nnd wcro baptized, and five reclaimed. Tho audiences were generally large, nnd at times tho houso was packed to its utmost capacity of sitting and standing room, notwithstand ing tho extremely cold weather.
