Federal oflico holders In iliflcrcnt parti
of tho tha country contlnuo' to Inquire of the
President whether his civil service order re
main! In furco, or has been modified. Ac
cording to a Washington dispatch, "it con
bo stated on authority that tho order will
to enforced." It prohibits Federal officials
from taking part in caucuses, primaries, or
conventions, but docs not prevent them
from contributing voluntarily to campaign
funds.
Tho appropriations made at the lato ses
sion of Congress amount altogether to $158,
37.1,493, compared with $153,008,681 for
1877 and $177,370,087 for 1870. This docs
not include interest or sinking fund for tho
public debt. Tho increaso this year, com
pared with last year, Is $4,704,812, but, de
ducting the extraordinary item of $5,500,
000 for tho Fishery Award, there is actually
a, decrease this year, compared with last
year, of $735,1 88.
The trade returns of tho United States
for ten months of the current fiscal year
Hiding with April aggregate $360,201,333
merchandise Imports and $381,040,541 mcr
chandlso exports. This is an increase of
eight millions Imports and sovcnty-elght
millions exports over tho previous year, and
shows an excess of nearly 2251 millions ex
ports over Imports, all tho values being in
gold. Tho specie movement of tho ten
months was $26,072,090 imports and $21,
802,113 exports.
"A fly in the gravy" caused Mrs. Mil
lie of Burkovillo, Va., to kill Mr. Miller.
"Wife, here's a fly In tho gravy," the hus
band remarked, as ho sat down to his beef
steak. "You're all tho time finding fault,,
the wife replied. Harsh words wcro follow
ed by angry words, Mrs. Miller seised a
a coffee pot and Mr. Mn.Lia clutched a
carving knife. Tho sceno of combat was
shifted from the kitchen to tho woodshed,
and Mrs. Mill picked up an axe, severed
Mr. MiLLcn's head from his body, and
fainted.
The New York Sun . A correspondent
at Easton, Md., does not admit tho correct
ness of some recent remarks of ours respect
ing tho national banks. That system of
bonkine our correspondent condemns as an
outrageous monopoly. "How," ho asks,
"does the goodness of a national bank bill
cover tho denial to every ono elso of the
right to make one as good or better 7" Wo
answer that It does not cover it, becauso
there is no such denial. Any number of
persons who can put up the requisite amount
ofiCftiHal may organlio a national bank
anywhere. How, then, con tho system of

Godfather, sent by the Apostollo Ablegate a
wedding ring, blessed by his Holiness, and
a roso of diamonds for tho Queen. The
Duke do Montpensicr gave his daughter
twenty-five million francs, in addition to
a great quantity of diamonds and a wonder
fully rich trousseau. King Alfonso gave his
Quccu several suits of jewels and bis portrait

lasted for fivo days, during which fetes, balls,
parties, reviews, illuminations, races, bull
fights, fireworks, special theatrical perform.
anccs and other, amusements kept Madrid
In a continual state of excitement. Alms
were distributed to tho poor, political pris
oners were pardoned and new foundations
established in tho institutions of learning
for poor students. Since their marriage the
lives of the King and Queen have been at
quiet and happy as ths lives of Kings and
Queent can be, until the sickness set in
which has terminated fatally.
As much of Gen. McKeniio's report of
his expedition into Mexico as can be obtain
ed for publication is as follows i The expedi
tion was in two columns, ono under Lieut
Col. Bhafter, being the Twenty-fourth In
fantry, and the other the Eighth Cavalry,
under Capt Young. Gen McKemio moved
with the command of Capt. Young. This
latter column left camp at Devil's river on
June 11, and crossed, June 12, fifteen miles
above-the month, camping that night ten
miles southwest of the river, at a dry camp.
On. tha 13th and 14th the oolum marched
forty miles, to Buro mountain, and on the
15thintended to march twenty-fivo miles,
but the guide,. after conducting the column
twelve milesfellsiok, and' as water could
not be reached, and there wot danger of all
the stock perishing, word was sent to C61.
Bhafter not to-cross, and If he had crossed,
to rucoss. I( was then- determined,, on, o
count of frequent cattlo raids, to taaroh the
rbuotry on the San Diego and San'Rodrlgo;
Col. Shafter was accordingly notified and
the commands joined oft the San Diego on
the 7th and moved to Itemollnoon the head
waters of the San IloJrigo. Mexican troops
wcro met under Col, Voldes, who said that
ho was ordered la repel the Americans on
Mexican territory, llo was Informed that
the command had no hostility toward Mexi
co, but was after thieves and . ndians. Col.
Nuncio., who had arrived with additional
trooM, said in general terms that ho was
obliged to obey his orders and attack tho
United States troops.whcreuponsomocorrcs
pondenro passed, tho Mexican force crossed
the return rottto of our troops a second time,
and asked for an apology for tho presence of
tho troops. Tho entire command reached
the river without collision, trouble, or an
noyance. Tho expedition failed mainly on
account of the scarcity of water and tho
sickness and failure of tho guides. Tho
Mexican forces wcro weak, and refused to
render any assistance in arresting tho
thieves and Indians.
Points In Politics.
romcroy is canvassing Kansas for the
United States Senatorshlp.
Hayes Is tho latest Presidential candid'
ate for 18S0. His strength is of the growing
kind.
Cincinnati Inquirer (dcm.) : "Garfield
will go back to Congress. Foster can wait
and run for Governor."
Burlington (Iowa) HawUyc j "Grant
and Wilson." That sounds familiar, and it
will mean business in 1880."
Cincinnati Gazelle (rep.) : 'Some of the
Ohio democratic county conventions favor
tho nomination of Thurman for President
in 1880."
-Cincinnati Gazette (rep.) : "There is a
story that W. E. Chandler is seeking tho re
publican nomination for Congress in one of
tho New Hampshire districts."
-Tho Clcavland Herald regrets that tho
President did not appoint Murat Halstead,
for his advocacy of tho double standard, a
commisioner at tho Monotary Congress.
Tho republican faction in Oregon which
has a spite against Senator Mitchell Is re
sponsible for tho election of a democratic
Legislature, and tho consequent loss of a
valuablo voto in tho next Congress. It Is
the old tablo of tho facial quarrel.
Cincmuall Enquirer (dcm.) : "Tho
candidates for tho Governorship of Ken
tucky already in tho field are Luko P
Blankburn, Thomas Lovely Jones, Hon. J,
M. Bigger, of Jlct'rackcn j Lieutenant Gov
ernor Underwood and John Younj Brown,
Cincinnati Commercial (ind.) ; 'This
country does not stand in need of millitory
government, and if it did, republicanism
might bo stamped out with more decency
than by tho replacement of Grant in tho of
fico that ho always affected to despiso and
never honored."
-Cincinnati Enquirer (dem) : "In the
Second district tho Congressional priio lies
between Banning and Goss nnd Shank, or
between Goss and Banning and Shank, or
between Shank and Goss and Banning, or
but there aro too many permutations. Hon.
Sam F. Hunt declines to bo a candidate.
Tho Cincinntl Commercial (ind.) says;
"It is perfectly truo that President Hayes
announced an infiexiblo determination not
to stand for a second term. It has often
happened, however, that circumstances ore
stronger than resolutions in such matters,
Certainly ho has stronger reasons for revis
ing his orginal determination than any
other incumbent of the office ever had."
Atlanta Cbnstituton (dem.) : "Mr,
Stephens may be, as he claims to be, a dcm
ocrat in theory, but at this time wo need
men who are democrats both in theory and
practice men who aro not too great to fol
low when they cannot lead. Tho Forty
sixth Congress has a world of important
work beforo it. It must pavo tho way for
the incomingofa democratic administration,
Tho democrats of tho Eighth district will be
called uKn next August to put such a man
beforo tho people.
Our Washington Utter.
Closing Scenes in Congress Drunkcnnesi,
Confusion and Disorder The President
Arrested Sins of Omission A Happy
Family Jic-union.
Washington, D.C., Juno 22.
With the exception of a national conven
tion which fuses suddenly upon tho Presi
dential nomination of a Polk, a Pierce or a
Hayes, there is no spectacle in this country
so depressing to a believer in republican
government as the ordinary close of a ses
sion of Congress. Both houses of Congress ad
journed sine die yesterday morning at seven
o'clock, tho delay being caused by the en
grossment of tho Sundry Service bill. Tho
scenes in the House during the closing
hours wcro of the wildest description, many
of the members being decidedly tho worse
for liquor. Everything was confusion and
disorder, and after two o'clock, recesses were
taken every other hour as a means of restor
ing order and bringing members to their
senses. Tho galleries wcro thronged thro'
out the night, and the drunken ribaldry of
many of tbe spectators added to the din.
Many captious and unimportant amend
ments were made to the Sundry Service bill,
and it kept oscillating between the two
houses every two or three hours. During
the recesses in the House, the pages, joined
by members, amused themselves by singing
comic songs, and the galleries joining in the
choruses made the welkin ring. From in
dications tho proceedings of the Houso may
bo aptly described as a H. O. T. " High
Old Time!"
The Senate relaxed somewhat from its
customary dignity, but was a convent of
quiet and order in comiiarisou with the other
end of tho Capitol. While waiting upon
the House, several unimportant bills were
disposed of, aud at seven o'clock tho hands
of the clock wero turned back for about ten
minutesinordertoallow action on a few min
or nominations just made by the President.
The Senate went into executive session, con
firmed tho nominations and, upon opening
Hie uuutVfUiijuurucu.
President Hayes remained in hit room on
tbe Benito aids all night up to the very
mfnuto of adiourcment,' tho Iztt bill he
signed being tho ono pro v Wing for a lout'
misskni to select a new site for tho National
Observatory. A good joko is told on tho
President. Ho hwl mndo all arrangements
to attend the rommeneeinent of Princeton
College, which takes place to-ilay, anil where
his son is to fcrudunt. He Was also looked
to for a speech there. With this idea in
view ho bod gone to the B.ltlmoro k Poto
mac ilopot lasl nigut, onu was huoiu 10
board tho nlno o'clock northern express,
when he was captured by a commlttco of
Senators and hustled oil' to tho Capitol,
where ho was detained oil night signing
bills. It may tie imagined that his feelings
were not of tho plcosantcst.

ine nisgracuiiu scenes ivmrii piguunzvu
tho lost memorable nlcht .session will lung
bo remembered, and If tho names of thoso
who figured most prominently in theso
Bochanalian orgies arc not given to the
public, itls only because a'fccling of patriot
ism and a senso of Indignant shame, which
brines tho Hush of ancer to tho cheek, has'
ed tno representatives oi mo great, papers
n our cities to flinc a charitablo niantlo of
oblivion over tho crying vices which ill-in
formed lorcigners mignipoBsibiy suppose to
bo national.
Thcv form. alas, tho outward manifesta
tions of a dread disease, whoso roots aro
deep and dangerous. Theso sad anil mourn-
lul spectacles are but mo ouiconio aim ex
pression of those deadly symptoms which
mark tho feverish restlessness of a disjoint
ed time, for when public decency is so far
lorgottcn Dy tno cnoscn law-givers oi ino
notion, it is because the civic virtues which
made that nation great and glorious have
been laid asido liko cumbcrous and forgot
ten carments in the Cavo of Circe. Tins
Congress which has been in almost constant
session sinco tho 15th of last October (eight
months), has, according to tbo saying of
Senator Bavard. done less cood and less
harm than many persons expected. In fact,
one of its chief merits is that it lias done
verv little: its Bins are mostly sins or omis
sion. Asido from the llivcr and Harbor
b 11. it Is puillv of not n sinclo job, and tbo
lobby lias dono no business at oil at this
long session, for tho Kivcr and Harbor bill
is tn'ob which needs no lobby. People who
mnir no that tho business ot a legislative
body is to pass os many laws as possible,
will bo disgusted with tho beggarly account
of the acts of tho Forty-fifth Congress. But
tho moro sensible people, who remember
Hint Hnniress is never so near to n blunder
as when it votes, and that debate is its real
business, will bo tuanwui to uavo got on os
well. The present Congress has done but
little harm, if it has dono absolutely no good.
Rnnnidprinn Ihnt ov.'r4.P00 bill were ollcrcU
in tho Houso alono during tte eight months,
and that numerous jobs prwcaior iwugiii
tion, the country has reason fo be thankful
that so little wnn ilnnn.
Tho Houso Committee, on Expenditures
in tho Interior Department called in .P"I
last for a list of persons employed in thjt
Deportment who ore related ono to another
by blood or marriage, to which Secretary
Scluirz has just made answer, from which it
appears that there arc employed under him
in this city 12 persons who are related as
brother-in-law and sister-in-law, 8 as father-in-law
and sou-iu-law, 20 brothers-in-law,
8 sisters, 4 fathers and sons, 6 brothers and
sisters, 14 nephews and uncles, 12 brothers,
6 fathers and daughters, 6 uncles and nie
ces, 2 aunt and ncicc, 2 mother-in-law and
son-in-law, 2 mother and son. Total, 102.
This is a very good showing for a single, de
partment, ond evinces on uncommon affec
tion among tha persons employed, especially
on the part of tho unliable, individual who
secured a place for his mother-in-law. It
would be interesting reading to have an
analysis of tho number of the obovowhoaro
related to bureau autocrats, chief clerks, ap
pointment clerks and chiefs of divisions. It
is to bo hoped that tho other executiyo de
partments will define their position on this
affectionate family theme. Euw.vnu.

Istmestiko Church History. Luther
an emigrants began to settle in West Vir
ginia In 1730. Tho congregation at Shep-
herdstown wasorgaized in 1705. llev. Mr.
Bauer became its first regular pastor in
1776. It was subsequently served by Itevs.
Wiltbahn and Nichodemus, and afterwards
supplied with preaching by Bcvs. Georgo
Young and Weymau, from llagcrstown, Md.
and also by Kev. Christian Strcit, from
Winchester, Vo. In 1790, tho congregotion
became associated with that at Mortinsburg,
and Rev. D. Young was called to live
among them. During his pastorate, in 1795
the church was built. In 1802, Itcv. F.
W. Itoskinsky became pastor, who was suc
ceeded by Hcv. Bobcnach, ond in 1818, by
Kev. J. Kehler. During tho last -three
pastorates, the transition from tho use of the
German to that of the English longuago was
commenced and continued.
Rev. C. P. Krauth, sr., took charge in
1829, and served eight years; Iter. J. Med
tart in 1827 (7 years) i Rev. It. Weiser in
IMS (.'yean): iiev. u. iuarun in ltai 14
years); Rev. S. Sprecher in 1842 (1 year);
Rev. J. A. Seiss in 1813 (4 years). In 1845,
the congregation was separated from Mar
tiusburgi and for the first time, secured tho
residence of tho pastor nt Shcpherdslown.
In 1848, Rev. 1. P. Krauth, jr., became
pastor, and remained seven months. Dur
ing his pastorale, Shephcrdstown was again
associated with Martinsburg. In 1848 Rev.
B. M. Schmucker took charge, and served
31 years. In 1852. Rev. J. P. Smclttcr be
came pastor at Harper's Ferry, to which
the congregation was attached , and served
bv him 7 vears. Burin? his nattorate. the
church at Unionvllle was erected, and after
his resignation, the Shephcnlstowii congre
gation became independent, and has since
sustained a pastor in its midst. Since separa
tion irom ine Bmunneiu, Aianmsuurg, anu
Harper's Ferry congregations, Rev. J. I.
Miller has been its pastor 5 years ; Rev. J.
F. Camnbell. 2 vears i Rev. D. II. Bittle. 4
years) and Rev. J. Hawkins, 3 years, Dur
ing Kev. II. it. iiuties time, ine cnurcn
edifice was thoroughly remodeled and
beautified, and a large and comfortable par
sonace erected iu the heart of tho town
Rev. R. C. Hollane entered upon his
pastoral duties there in 1875, and is still
laboring with encouraging success. The
conrreration numbers upwards of two hull
drcd members, and has a Sunday school of
one Hundred and tilty scholars and teachers.
It is regarded as one of the largest and most
efficient congregations in the Virginia
synod.
Our young friend, Frank F. Hummel,
of the Dover (N. J.) Index, has just accom
plished the most sensible thing of hit life,
i. e. he hat dropped the "patent" outside
business, and now publishes a newspaper,
We liave long thought Frank would get
tired drinking skim milk and giving the
"patent" men the cream from his paper.
