Entered at tLa Lchigliton poft-ollioe as
Second Clum Mail Matter.
The chairman ot tho Greenback La
lor Tarty, uf tills State lias Issued call
for a contention to be lipid In Harris
liurgon Wednesday, August 18, next.
They propose nominating a full ticket.
IttiMOiis have been rife for some time
past that our townsman T. A. Snyder,
C. 8., D. C, B. A., would llko to renre
rent this county In the next State Legis
lature. Should he "get there," wc sup
pose tits Cret motion would hcto exclude
all "reporters."
T!ev. John Williamson Nevix, I).
P., LI.. I)., the president of l'ranklln
and Marshall College and a noted lie
formed Church theologian, died at Ills
home, Caernarvon Place, Lancaster,
Sunday evening at 8 o'clock, In the
right; -fourth year of his age. He had
had been 111 about ten davs.
A oesuixe albino baby has been born
to Mr. and Mrs. John Jones, of Harrls
hurg, Pa. The little thing has hair as
white as enow and pink eyes, and Is said
to be very pretty. Its patents are both
dark. The presence In the house for
many months past of a tamo white rat
with ulnk eyes Is thought to account for
the peculiarities of the baby.
We whisper It gently to our readers
tho Council having, In Its immaculate
wisdom, debarred our reporter from the
Council Chamber, wo dare not speak It
loudly that all cattle found grazing
along our byeways and alloys are to be
arrested and impounded by our high
constable. This Is said to have been
resolved upon last Monday night, and
we suppose the weighty consideration of
this question was the reason for the ex
clusion of our "reporter."
Tnu $100 marriage fee which the
President gave the Hcv. Dr. Sunderland
was a brand-pew creenback flesh from
the treasury. Dr. Sunderland will have
It framed, but he will not put It on ex
hibition. He will, however, permit nil
couples who come to him to be married
to have a peep at It. The sight will be
apt to excite the liberality of future
bridegrooms, and so the worthy Doctor
may not be the worse off by refraining
from putting his hundred dollars Into
circulation.
It was gently borne upon the cool
breeze on Tuesday morning that the
borough counellmen had decided to pur
chase & lamps of the pattern on cxhlb
Itlon during the past few weeks on Dr,
German's corner. Probably the con.
stderation of this Uyht question was
why no "reporter" was needed last
Monday night In the Council Chamber.
The placing of these lamps unon the
streets was no doubt Intended to bo a
light surprise, for our people, her.ee the
resolve to exclude our '"reporter."
Tnr. news fiom Washington Is that
the Morrison tailff bill is lobe forced to
a vole. The revenue reformers in Con
gress, especially those from the West.
insist that thev should not be sent home
to their constituents without having n
chance to record themselves on the tar
iff question. Thero is no a good deal
of outside pressure. The meeting of
textile workers In Philadelphia was not
meaningless. It was Intended to show
Democratic Congressmen that the peo
ple are intcicsted In securing lower tar
iff taxes, and that they cannot shirk
tlieirduty In thlsrespcct Mr. Carlisle's
committee of chairmen are working very
hard to select the business which shall
he railed up during tho remainder of
tho session, and while they experience
much difficulty In making a choice, the
tariff bill Is the one measure on which
they all unite. It seems to be certain,
at all events, that the Morrison bill will
bo called up and debated, although a
Vote may be postponed until the next
session. The large appropriation bills
are still In tho way, and a good deal of
careful work looking to delay appear
to have been done by somebody.
Sosik three months aco our borough
council decided to allow our reporter to
attend their meetings to report proceed-'
Ings, tho Secretary of the board having
positively refused to give tho press a re
port. In almost every other borough It
Is customary for the Council to publish
their "doings" In the local papers, and
pay for It, so that the people may know
from month to month what moneys are
expended and what measures am adopt
ed for the health, protection and Im
provement of their respective towns.
We offered, for the benefit of our read
ers, to do this work free of charge If
they would furnish the report, as above
stated, the Secretary refused to give us
ii report. Wo then made arrangements
for the admission of a reporter, and for
two months he wm permitted to attend
and make his report of the proceedings.
When he appeared to report the pro
ceedings at last Monday evening's meet
ing, the Council adjourned from the
room usually used for their meetings,
and held a ten minutes secret session in
side room, where they resolved, on
motion of T. A. Snyder, that the
'Council did not need a reporter," and
delegated Chief llurgess Graer to con
vey the order to our rejiortcr. Xow, as
we understand, public olllcers are pub
lic servants, nnd' (lie people have a right
to know what they do in regard to the
government of the town and matters
pertaining to their interests. Hut It
appeals that ottr Council have decided
that they arc the masteis of the people,
that is, have icverscd the usual order of
things, and decided that-Jt Is none of
the people's business what they do,
hence, the expulsion of our reporter.
Of course our learnod friend, T, A.
Snyder, with and by the advice of the
gentlemen who "are the power behind
the throne," duly considered the con
icqtlehcet of his motion to "muzzle the
press" before he made It? The people
of Lchtghton will remember this Insult
to their Intelligence when they go to the
,pollf' next February, notwithstanding
' ibt W "borough Is Democratic."
TJK'jtttWtonV ou.r Jaonied friend,
'X-JL 'rrr,SsEi Attoriuy and
Counc'lmsn, Is directed to the following
extract from Purdcn's Digest:
"The doors of the respective halls of
(ho said select and common councils
shall be open for the admission of all
orderly and peaceable persons who shall
be desirous of being present.
BroaflMiii's Yorl Letter
Special to the Cahbon Advocate.
Tho United States has never been
famous for holidays. When I was a
boy there were only three, as near as'I
can recollect, Fourth of July, General
Training and Thanksgiving. Foreign
ers and a few church people kept Christ
mas and New Year's, but the great body
of the American people knew them not,
though New Year's was sacred to the
Dutch of New York, and with tho Vir
ginia Cavaliers Christmas was more
than a Human holiday. I am not at all
astonished at tho accepted pictures of
Brother Jonathan with Ms lantern jaws,
his bell crowned hat, his sttlpcd pants
and his long-tailed swinger, for he em
bodied a national Idea and brought Into
bold relief the enormity of the offense
of all work and no play. All through
Now England, particularly, the necessi
ty of constant work was Impressed upon
the boy from the moment he was able to
toddle and gather a basket of chips,
with which to prepare the inalltutlnal
meal, till the day that the undertaker
foreclosed his mortgage and the man
was gathered to his fathers. Work was
a virtue, play next to a crime; and to
put it in Its mildest share, It was un
questionably an awful and Inexcusable
waste, and as a natural consequence wo
were running to brains without muscle,
and the Ideal Brother Jonathan was a
type of the race begot of such training.
Fifty years ago a respectable man of
forty would no more be seen swinging a
a pair of clubs or dumb-bells than he
would be caught at a faro bank or a dog
fight; but that day, thank Providence,
is past. The Xew England man of to
day has not only brains, but muscle;and
from base-ball to bicycles he stands In
the van, satisfied that while brains may
conceive and work out the problem It
requires muscle fo move tho world.
It is, thci'cforc, that I rejoice In the
addition to our national holiday, which
will make the SOth of May memorable
for all time to come. Never since Decor
ation Day was made a national holiday
has New York or, indeed, any State In
the Union seen such a celebration as
that which marked this year. Here
rests the ashes of our mightiest chieftain,
and to New York it seemed as If the
whole nation turned Its steps hither to
pay its mourning tribute. It Is some
thing in tills hard, grasping, selfish age
to see an entire people, Jewand Gentile,
infidel and christian, confederate and
tcderal, millionaire and beggar, turn
aside from their dally work and devote
one day to honoring tho nation's 'dead.
For several days notable men have been
gathering from all parts of the ltepublic.
Men who had met face to face In the
death grapple at Antietam, Chancellor
vllle, Cedar Creek, Stone Itlver and
Gettysburg, clasped each other In fra
ternal embrace and blessed God that
they were once more standing as brothers
beneath the same old starry flag. The
sight of the grand procession would have
moved a heart of stone as it marched
on to the beautiful heights of Hiverslde,
where rests all that Is mortal of tho
great commander, Vljsses S. Grant.
We missed from the head of tho pro
cession the magnificent form of the hero
who led the van on that memorable day
when we laid our great soldier away to
rest, but loving hands will not forget to
decorate his grave, who turned the Iron
tide of death upon the Held of Gettys
burg and fought like a demi-god till
stricken down amid a hurricane of shot
and shell. Yei, we missed tho noble
form of General Winfield Scott Han
cock. The contributions, of (lowers
defy description. They came from every
State. In tho Union and from all parts of
the, British possessions. All sectional
lines were obliterated and costly tributes
came from the States which went Into
tho rebellion. In the hour of our grief
they appeared to forget the sting of
defeat, and to remember only the mag
nanimous soldier whorefnsed to humili
ate General Lee, and who told the
shattered remnant of his cavalry to take
their hot sea home they would need
them for spting plowing. In that pro
cession were some of the men who had
surrendered at Appomattox, and march
ing beside them were the Union soldiers
nlth their tattered battle-flags, their
scarred faces, and many with their
empty sleeve. It will not be many
years before these grand battailous fade
Into ghostly lines, and the army which
passed In review on Monday will be but
a shadowy memory. Ages will roll
away and tho names of Democrat and
Republican, Civil Service Reformer and
Political Iconoclast will have been ob
literated, perhaps, from our national
vocabulary ;but when these combinations
are forgotten and have passed from the
memory of men, let us hope that there
will still be enough of patriotism and
gratitude left among those who thall
come after us to honor with each re
turning spring the ashes of the men
w ho saved the nation from. dismember
ment and ruin. The day could not
have been surpassed. Whatever honor
tho living can pay the dead was given
with a broad liberality and reverential
homage that left nothing to be desired.
The presence, of the President of the
United States with his Cabinet, and the
knowledge that the review was witnessed
by tho beautiful young bride who is to
be tho future Queen of the White House,
added peculiar Interest to the occasion.
In addition to tills we were honored by
the presence of the General of the
Army, PhllSherldan, and grand old
Black Jack Logan in tho midst of that
splendid assembly was second to none.
No Serious accident marred the sacred
harmony of the day, and It Is pleasant
to reconl that the graves of the Confed
erate dead, thousands of which dot our
Northern cemeteries, were not forgotten,
but each and all received a floral tri
bute.
In ono way ami another our city life
Is constantly teeming with warnings.
About eight year ago a man named
Wilson apieared In New York aud
Brooklyn who had made a discovery
more valuable than the philosopher'
tone that could transmute the basest
metal and turn It Into gold. But wbt
of that? You could not tat It n drink-
it, It could not give you health, It could
not keep off tho lightning's stroke ncr
ncrtnnyf the thousand and one Ills
that flesh is heir to. But Wilson had
discovered Wilsnnla, and Wllsonla was
a panacea for every mortal ill; neural
gia, gout, asthma, yellow jaundice, I
rheumatism, cholera and tlcdoloreaux, 1
fled from Wllsonla In alTrlght. It was
good for fits, and unsurpassed in cases
of the rickets. It was no bad thing for
a broken leg, and for swelling behind
the cars It was Infalllablc. Great was
IHlsonl Greater still Wllsonla! He had
not started business many weeks when
his oflice was besieged with patients.
He advertised, and advertised, and it
brought him countless ducats. But
what Is Wllsonla, say you? Well, It
might be a cap or a stocking, a coat, a
vest, or a pair of breeches, it depended
very much on the part afTectcd; but It
was good for any ill, from the crown of
your head to tho sole of your foot. The
girmcnts were electrified, and electrici
ty applied directly from tho Wllsonla
garments was never known to fail.
Business fairly rushed at him; he took
the entire side of one of our great me
tropolitan dallies and frequently adver
tised In threo or four at a lime. Thou
sands of dollars were spent for advcitls-
lng In a day, but thousands kept rolling
In, and in n little time Wilson was
wealthy. Pictures, brlc-a-brac, fine
furniture, rare porcelains and articlcsof
vcrtu and ornaments filled every nook
and corner of his palatial residence; but
at last Iiick turned as It did with Doctor
Hclmbold and a hundred others, and
Mr. Wilson was laid out as fiat as a
flounder. He went from bad to worse
till ot last he did not know whereto
turn for a dollar. Then he shook htm
andiidvcitUcd for a partner with cash
and found him and started a new rack
et. Wllsonla was pretty well played
out; thousands of people had nil pants
and vests, jackets, shirts and magic
belts hung up In their garrets nnd cel
lars, serving as a constant reminder that
there is no experience like boughten ex
perience. So the new racket was called
Aetna, and in hundreds of papers ap
peared the wonderful advertisement,
Aetna cures lumbago, Aetna Is good for
ia'n In the'baek, Aetna cures deafness,
weak sights cured by Aetna. Mr.
Wilson Is "now in a law suit for the re
covery opsonic of his lost property, and
If ho catr only succeed In getting some
of his Wllsonla electric jackets and
breeches on the offending parties he
would soon bring them to terms.
The death of tho great Democratic
leader, John Kelly,though not altogeth
er unexpected fell on the city like an
elccti Ic shock on Tuesday. Few men
In this land have occupied a greater
space In the public eye, and few after
such a hard and stormy life will go
down to theirgraves with greater honor.
Whatever advantages John Kelly had
ho created them all himself. The stur
dy honesty of the man was born in Jiim,
and remained with him till the. golden
bowl was broken. A fierce fighter, a
hard hitter, an unrelenting enemy and
a firm and unfaltering friend, surround
ed by influences that would have des
troyed any other man, ho kept his char
acter In private and In public rure and
unspotted, nnd In djlng his bitterest
enemy can place no taint upon his
record. In the fierce partlzan conflicts
that now rend the city nnd State It Is
scarcely possible to do justice to the
dead Tammany leadei ; hut when the
bitterness of our present political strifes
shall have passed away, and the men
who have been actively engaged In the
conflict shall have returned to dust, the
historian who writes the history of this
troubled time, when speaking of John
Kelly, will accord him an honorable
place among tho statesmen and patriots
who have loved and served their conn
try.
With the rafcal Most ami his villain
ous confreres safe on Blackwell's Island
for n year, and Buddensell: theswind
ling builder In States Prison wo end the
week hopefully. For this all thanks.

Washington lews and Gossip.
From our Special Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, June 7. '60.
Mil. KniToit: Tho event so anxiouslv
looked for and discussed witli so much
ingenuity by the gossips of the nation,
lias taken place, nnd the title of the
"first lady of the land" has fmmally
passed fiom the sister to the wife of the.
President. It Is known that In man v of
the foreign countries It is customary on
ino ccieuration of any great event, for
the king, princo or potentate to man f est
grace and clemency by restoring to lib
erty prisoners who have suffered long
confinement. Although President Cleve
land has as a rule been slow to Interfere
with the operation of tho law. nnd the
judgment of courts, ho performed an
act of clemency upon his wedding day,
in granting a full and unconditional
pardon to B. F. Bicelow. who. as re
ceiving teller of the National Bank of
tne itepubiio, m this city, was convicted
of embezzling the funds ofilin haul.-.
and sentenced to serve a term In prison
for live years. The President had care
fully examined the parieis In the rase
several days before, anil after deciding
to grant toe application the papers were
retained upon his desk in order that the
act of pardoning might be consummated
upon his wedding day. There has
scarcely been a tonic of conversation
during the week, excepting the White
House wedding, and even now, that
seveial days have passed, nnd the happy
couple are spending their honeymoon
at a point distant frr.m this city, the In
terest seems to have scnrcclv abated.
Those who were present pronounce the
attalr a success In every respect. The
piogramme which had been previously
arranged, was carried out In all of Its
uetans. J lie decorations of tho White
House aero of an elaborate character.
and it Is said that the building never
presented a handsomer appearance.
Aside from the President' wedding,
w hich has so eclipsed all other events,
tho week, which commenced with
Decoration Day.has been an Interesting
one. Although thousands took advan
tage of the holiday for.a day' outing,
and all of tho resortsalong the river and
various railroad In the vicinity of the
city were occupied by excursion parties,
still the effect was scarcely noticeable at
tho attendtnee upon the memorial rx-

Congress lias been busy, the Senate 1
In the discussion of tho Canadian fish
eries trouble, the taxation of railroad
land grants, the Chinese Indemnity bill,
and other important measiircs, besides
passing unanimously a bill to prevent
tho acquisition of real property by aliens,
nnd to prohibit corporations, excepting
railroads, canal and turnpike companies
from owning more than five thousand
acres of land, under a penalty of forfeit
ure to the government.
The antfolcomargarlnoblll which has
occupied so much of 'the time of the
House durln" the. nast two nr tlirrn
weeks, was itassed nn Tlnirs.litv liv a I
very handsome majority, nnd It now re
mains to be seen as to what disposition
will be made of It In the senate.
Although the general Impression pre
vails that the present Congress has been
idle and that much of Its time has been
spent In irclcss talk, the rocords show
that a greater amount of work has been
done for the same length of 'time than
during any former Congress. It Is true
that a large proportion of tho great
number of bills that havo passed have
been of a private nature, still tlie num
ber of general bills has been greater
than ever hcfoic. Tho records niso re
veal the fact that the number of reports
from the committees In both ilonsesnrc
far in excess of any previous session.
Notwithstanding the fact that tile
President has vetoed several private
pension hills the warning has been un
heeded, and claims of this nature con
tinue to bo pushed through without
consideration, aud each House appears
to be striving to outdo the other lu the
pension business. II.
OUR SOUTHERN BUDGET
From ouit Spkciai. Coiii!esponiixt.
ItALinoit, N.U., May 2!), 1880.
"A big white houso
With nobody living In it
Down In "
The old song says'Mown in ALibam.?'
So we will let the savins of the son? no
for what it is worth. It is a fact, how
ever, that "down In North Carolina"
there are "mighty few" "big white
houses with nobody living in 'em."
Tlie houses, resnnlless of color, nnd al
most of condition, aro occupied. An
empty house Is a novelty. And even an
unoccupied cabin Is quite a rarity.
If there Is another part of Ihe United
States where It seems to he almost n
crime to have a house surrounded by
grass, I have never heard of it. Where
tho beauty of a door-yard devoid of
grass an open, eye-destroying plain of
white sand comes In, I have never yet
discovered.
Now this may sound almost treason
able to readers whohavewhlte. clnrintr
barrcn door-yards, but it is the truth,
nnd, quoting tlie sentiment of that elo
quent Southron, Henry, of Virginia, I
must say, if it is treason it must stand
as it is written. And yet experience has
shown that line lawns can bceijoyed
even on the sandiest of the sandy, lands.
I would like to suggest to the ladles 'of
tlie South that white patches of door
yards, where green grass should be
grown, are produclvc of eye disorders
aud headache.
"Do you see those shade trees?" In
quired a noble hearted geneious South
ern gentleman, pointing to a group of
noble oaks, sycamores and gums that
threw a cool shade over the sandy soil
beneath. Nodding acquiescence, he
made the startling confession that they
had cost him many thousands of dollars.
Lost in wonder I asked him to explain,
lie did so, nnd the explanation was to
the effect that tho .shade, had acted as a
wooer, and many hours that should
have been devoted to labor had been
spent In more quiet rest, In obedience to
the mute appeal of the wavln trees.
Iu-doors and out-doors in the Smith
too much dependance is placed on the
colored help. '1 bis Is especially true of
the natives. The writer knows of some
good workers among the colored popu
lation, but the good ones are largely In
the minority. Green girls, just ovef
from "the old sod," while considered
poor enough In the North, are far better
than the greater part of. Ihe domestic
help of the South. Here the colored
girls arc all cooksf !)and they understand
every branch of household Jabots-according
to tliclr ow n talk. The fart.!
that their skill as cooks consists In
knowing how to fry bacon nnd mnke
little round baking powder biscuit,
Further than that, silence on n.y partis
golden.
Now the following Is a fact, and we
would like to Impress It thoroughly In
the h -ads of some northern people.
It h an ei raucous notion that North
ern people iuve fallen Into that white
people w ho labor In the South are looked
down upon. Such -Is far from Hip fuel.
J'coplo want to bo self-reliant dow
here, i ney needs must have examples
set them In that direction. I lnw. mi
j -
to see the first Southern man who falls
to respect a man who knows how to do
his own work, and fearlessly dn It. "
As to working girls I would bo will
ing to guarantee good places for at least
twenty good working girls from the
North place? where they would be
properly treated, well and promptly
paid, and where they could provide
nanusomeiy lor uie future.
A groat effort Is often undo to in luce
men to come South, or "o West. I
would advise that an effort be made to
Induce nn Immigration of working girls.
I Wouldn't advise nny girl to go hap
hazard Into any new country, or into
tlie city; Put they are needed down here,
and they ran do a good work by com
In:?. Some friend should be wilii,.,,
or tho State Commissioner of Immigra
tion, 1 dare say, would Interest himself
tn bi-nair or any girls who want work,
and are willing to do their duly con
scientiously by their employers.
The chances In tho South Jiave not
been over-slated; but tlicre Isn't a won
derfully great opportunity for shoddy
aristocrats and kid-gloved gentlemen of
leisure, who havo no capital to back
them up. People who can faco ob
stacles with bmvc heart and hopeful
souls are needed liere and can dn urll
Those wJio. want and expect an easy
