No Regular Paper Next Week This issue of the JOURNAL closes the present volume, and as we desire to start the new volume with the first week in the new year, no regular paper will be issued next week, but we will issue a half-sheet for the purpose of legalizing the Sheriff's sales, the Court advertisements, etc. We must ask our readers to excuse the dingy looking and inferior paper used in printing the JOURNAL this week, and for two or three weeks to come. The gentle men who furnish us with pager were un able to procure the kind used by us, and in order that we might get our issue out on time sent us the paper we are now using.

TUE popular American .dgriculturist, and the JOURNAL, "the handsomest and best paper in the county," one year for only $3.00. The money, in every case, to accompany the order. This is a rare chance. tf. THE town of Red Rock, in Bradford county, was destroyed by fire on Thursday night of last week. Several hundred thousand gallons of oil were burned, and about three hundred dwellings. The loss is estimated at $300,000. SENATOR CAMERON, of Wisconsin, who was one of the Kellogg-Spofford investi gating committee, has returned to Wash ington. As to Louisiana witnesses, he is credited with saying that he - "belicved in an old Scotch Presbyterian hell, and didn't think that even that would do justice to some of the people he saw down there." THE Philadelphia Record. in speaking of ex-Governor Curtin's efforts to steal a seat in Congress, says that "the spectacle of an ex Governor of Pennsylvania knock ing like a beggar, hat in hand, at the door of Congress, whining for a seat to which he was never elected, would make the ju. dicious grieve were the sight less disgust- i 2g." JOSHUA SAXTON, ESQ., a native of this town, who for almost forty two years has published and edited the Urbana Co. Citizen and Gazette, retired from that paper, on the 4th inst. He has spent fifty seven years of his life in a printing off►ce, and for fortyeight years has done editorial duty. We wish our old friend joy and long life in his retirement. WE notice in the Globe of this week an article, purporting to have been written by the Stockholders of the Juniata Valley Camp Meeting, and signed by Samuel 11. McCoy, Kennedy M. King and John A. McKee, who profess to be a committee appointed for that purpose, in which some allusions are made to the JOURNAL not very complimentary nor yet very genteel. We propose to publish the article, with our own cnmments, hereafter, so that the publie may be able to judge as to which of us has acted the gentleman in this eon_ troversy. Tux Altoona daily Sun made its appear ance on Thursday last, bright and shining. The whole appearance of the paper shows that the mechanical department is in the hands of one competent for the place, while the editorial and local pages give evidence that they are presided over by no novices in the newspaper business. 'ihe paper starts wits a very liberal advertising pa tronage, and if the Democrats of Blair county fail to sustain so handsome and able exponent of the principles of their party they will prove themselves derelict of duty. We wish the new venture all the financial success possible. Tus Democrats of Maine are still en gaged in concocting a plan by which they can steal the electoral vote of that State. This is a game that two can work at, and if the Democrats of the Pine Tree State set the example, the. Republicans of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire ,Vermon t,Massach usetts,Rhode Islatd,.Connectieut, Ohio, Illinois, Mich. igan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, lowa, Colon da, Nevada, Nebraska and Kansas, should not be slow to follow it. These States have all Republican Legislatures, and it will be an easy matter for them to appoint Presidential Electors. If the Maine fraud is consummated the Republican Legislatures of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, and every other doubtful State will be justified in appointing Electors who will vote for the Republican nominee for President in the next college. In this e ise "what is sauce for the goose will be Dance for the gander." FITZ JOHN PORTER'S CASE.—A Wash ingtou dispatch says : The prompt action of the committee in appointing Messrs Sparkes, LeFevre, and M'Cook to consider the application of Fitz John Porter re instatement ;$1 the at my indicat( s a de termination to pasA the necessary legisla Lion to have his name restored to the rolls of the army, which will carry with it the arrears of pay of a colonel from lSti:l to the date of reinstatement - . It is very evi- Editor. •.~•t;t that when this bill comes bdire the House quite a number of Republicans will antagonize it. Among the leaders in that direction will be General Garfield, who was a member of the court which con. &caned Fitz John Porter and dismissed him from the service. Itis a matter of secret history that the first sentence of this court was that he should be shot as a traitor, but the good nature of President Lincoln was operated upon by the in fluence of army officers who had known General Porter, and did not believe in the evidence upon which he was convicted, and the sentence was commuted to his being cashiered. All of this will probably be brought out in the debate which this question of reinstatement will inaugurate. WE are in receipt of a copy of the daily Sun and Press, published at Jacksonville, Florida, containing an account of the re ception given to Hon. W. W. Hicks on his arrival in that city on the evening of the Bth inst. The speech of welcome and introduction was made by Hon. Horatio Bisbee, jr., in the course of which the speaker referred in eloquent terms to the services of Mr. Hicks in behalf of Repub lican principles. Mr. Hicks replied at some length, giving a history of the work ings of the Democracy in the South, and closed by paying a glowing and eloquent tribute to the men who stand up for the right in a section of our country where life and property are engendered by so doing. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 17, 1879. The nation will, undoubtedly, embalm the memory of Senator Gordon, the in venter of the new-fangled Democratic doctrine of "Keep quiet ! Do nothing." Though no Senator has more personal need of the application of such a policy, for the foul blot of Hamburg clings to his hands as the spot on Macbeth's hands ; yet we put him up on national grounds, and trust he may have a monument as big as the Egyptian obelisk erected to his memory, so happy are the Democrats in Congress over his invention. Now they can go ahead, knowiag full well that no Democratic blunder is involved in pursu ing it. No businest has, as yet, been trans acted at the Capitol, and, as the customary holidays adjournment begins on the 19th inst., and extends to January 6th, your readers can appreciate the near approach the Democrats make to the how-not to do it policy. The death of M-r. Lay, of Mis souri, came at a happy juncture when the Democrats wanted a pretext for adjourn went, so as to avoid a threatened rush of bills upon the House. These various bless ings have wonderfully enlivened the Dem ocrats, and if the Republicans are not an nihilated between this and next August it will not be from lack of confidence at the present. The retiracy of Mr. McCrary from the Cabinet occasions much regret among those who know him personally. lie pos sesses much more executive ability and sound horse•sense than he is generally credited with, and had any national exi gency demanded the exercise of both these qualities, he would have equalled the la mented Stanton as a War Minister. Mrs. McCrary is a quiet, domestic woman, who made friends everywhere, and her recep tions were attended by as many personal admirers its those of any other Cabinet Minister's wife. As Senator, Mr. Ramsey, who succeeds Mr. McCrary, was very pop , ular, and we trust may prove so while in charge of the War Portfolio. Among the many superb statues which adorn the public parks and squares of the National capital, there have none yet been reared to any of the great and accomplish ed jurists of America, whose names and learning stand out in our legal literature and on the pages of history as great as those of Erskio, Eldon, or Coke. It is gratifying, therefore, to see that a bill has just been introduced in the Senate appro priating $20,000 for the erection of a statute of ex-Chief Justice Marshall, of the United States Supreme Court, in Ju diciary Square, Washington City. Wheth er it will pass, depends on the Congress ional appreciation of America's most ewi• nent jurist and greatest Chief Justice. We have two classes of migratory birds in Washington just now. The tramps from the north, who are moving southward, and the black birds' exodus from North Caro lina, on their way to the happy land of Canaan, known as Indiana. The first are in tribulation pt finding the doors of the station-house closed to them after the second nights' lodging, and the work house open to them as vagrants.— They are therefore gathering pennies through the day. Six or eight will meet among the board piles at night, dump their pennies into a common bank, "pool their issues," get a quart of whisky as a partnership blanket, and make night hide ous with their orgies. The black emi grants come here by rail, not alone, but with their ebony families, not in small gangs, but by the car-load. Out of money and out of transportion, they are given a place of refuge, in a colored church—men; women, children and dogs—until money is raised by contributions throughout the city to send them to the land of promise in the ague districts of Indiana, where they can shiver and rejoice as they look back with scorn on the deserted tarheels and clay eaters in the turpentine forests of the Carolinas. The joint committee of the library have under consideration a proposition to pur chase thesword worn by General Washing ton when he resigned - his commission at Annapolis. The sword is offered for sale to the Government by Mr. 11. H. Lewis, of Maryland, who has come into possession of it, by inheritance, through Major Lewis, a nephew of General Washington. The action of the committee will doubtless in spire our zealOus antiquarians to resurrect a carload of old hatchets with which Georgie cut the cherry tree The English astronomer, Richard A. Proctor, whose predictions -of a magnifi cent meteoric shower kept thousands of paople with their heads out of the window till 2 o'clock in the morning, and sent them to bed with a cold in the head, dis appointed and sold, is lecturing in this city on "Other Worlds and Other Suns." Many who remember his brilliant display of meteors keep away from this shower of worlds and suns. _ . A subscription list is being circulated in the House of Representatives in aid of the indigent districts of Ireland. About seventy-five members have contributed, and it is expeeted that the list will be adorned with the names of all the mem bers of the House, and many dollars of our dads, before it is sent to the Emerald Isle. In emulation of the example of our national representatives, the Irish citizens of Wash ington are organizing with a view to se- cure contributions from the citizens of Washington fir the suffering poor of their native land, and in view of the proverbial gen.rosity of that race, we think they will in,ke as t znod showing of contributions as ;u ~thr city. Toe Irish stand here, in numbe!s, newt below the colored people; but when any public demonstration, in volving their nationality, is called for from them, they exhibit on our streets an as tonishing mass of drilled, able bodied men, out of all proportion to the displays of the other rat-!.
