THE REPORTER FOR 1876.
In presenting the Maims of the
REPORTER. fora continuance of, the..
generous support heretofore accorded
to it, we desire to return our sincere',
thanks for the many expressions of
. •
confidence and approbation which - w'
have received, as well as for the pat-
ronaae so. liberal!y extended to us;
both as regards subscriptions, adver
tisOc:, and job-work.
The past history of the REI!OIXTEIT:
is an earnest of what may be expeet;.,
ed in the future.
AS A FAMILY JOURNAL,
thq ItErurEn has always borne a.
high reputation whereter it has been
.read. ' All objectionable advertise
ments arc excluded, and nothing
which the most fastidious can object
to ever appears as reading matter in.
its' columris. It is our aim to make.
the REror.TEn an acceptable weekly
visitor to all the members of the
hoikzebohl. The stories and other
selections are prepared with the
greatest r care, and with a special view
to creating a healthy_ moral senti
ment, while entertaining and edifying
the readerS, young and old. With
the doctrines and theories which have
become quite' prevalent in. these
times, caleuldted to umTennine,one

Aianity and freU governitient the

POLITICAL L 17,
it- is unnecessary for us to say, the
EPORTER will continue uncompro-

that party organizations are essential
to the best interests of ,the govern
! ment and constitutional liberty.
When political papers profess to
have "no party," it is the best evi
dence they represent no principles.
We support the Republican Party,
because we believe it based on sound
and patriotic principles, and eaten
lated to confer the greatest good,Up
on the greatest number. "PrinciOes,
not men," is our motto; and so long
as the Republican organization con
tinues to inscribe upon its banner
the principles which brought it into
existence and have .characterized,,,its
history for the past twenty yearti, it
Will find in the REPORTER a firm and
nnflinching supporter. We can never,
however, become so strongly wedded
to a name as to adhere to a party
without principle.', and if. the Repub.
I:ean party shall ever follow in.:, the
wake of the corrupt.- orranizat.ion

must not count upon us for an ally.

time since extended to the President
and Cabinet and both Houses of Con

selves the Centennial arrangements.
The iny4atioit was accepted, and on
Friday evening last the invited guests
were conveyed from Washington to
Philadelphia by special train. On
Saturday morning they were taken
in carriages and driven to the Park,
where a sumptuous dinner was pre
pared.
After the viands had been disposed
of, Mr. JOHN C. BULLITT, who pre
sided, explained the dimensions. of
the Centennial Buildings, and said
they would cover more ground than
those of any exhibition given in
modern times. • Already more than
half of the space had been taken up
by forei% governments. Speaking
of the cost he said it would be $6,-
7:24,850. What was needed to Com
plete the work was $1,537,11Q. The
speaker urged upon the representa
tives of the government to consider
the importance of the exhibition, and
to afford the means necessary to fin
ish the Wbrk. Whatever prestige
rr
may resulrfrom its success will inure
to the credit of the entire country.,
To the toast, "The President 'of
the United States," President GRANT
simply bowed and declined to mple
a speech. Chief Justice WAITE' re
sponded to the toast, " The Supreme
Court of the United Stites." " The
Senate , of the United States " was
responded, to by Senator MonToN.
Governor BEDLE, of 'Sew Jersey,
responded to the toast of "The Gov
ernors of - the several States." "The
agriculture basis of the prosperity of
the nation," was - responded to by
lion. HENRY HARRISON, of Illinois.
Ile spoke eloquently in favor of the
great exposition. "Commerce, the
handmaid of all other industries in
exchanging commodities among our.
own people and with foreign nations,"
was responded to by JAMES G. BLAINE.
"Mining—it furnishes the fuel that
supplies the furnaces' and forges of
our manufactories and mechaniCal
industries ; for agriculture it provides
the material and the implements ,
and for, commerce the gold and silver
necessary in the exchang:e of our pro
ducts with'the nations of the world."
This toast was responded to by lion.
GEO. BANCROFT. JOHN WELSH and
Ex-Governor HAWLEY then made
addresses on the Centennial; after
which the banquet was brought to; a
close.
After five o'clock Horticultural
Hall was illuminated with reflectors,
gas not having yet been introduced
into the building. The majority of
the gentlemen from Washington: re,
turned in the 6 o'clock train, which
started from the Hall. Gen. GRANT
and other dignitaries remained over
to attend the reception giventy the
Saturday Night Club.
MEETING OF STATE GRANGE.
The State Grange was convened,
in Lancaster last week. About six
hundred Patrons were in attendance,
and after the usual preliminary exer
cises Mr. R. 11. THOMAS, Secretary,
read his report, from which we select'
the folloWing portion relating to.the .
financial affairs of the Grangei .or
.whether the " Grange pays in dollars
and cents:"
The State business agent during the
past year,
since April last, has transacted
business for the order to the amount of
$131.823, and saved to the order fully 15
per cent., aggregating at least $.20;000,
whilst the entire expense of the agency is
within $2,700, or about 2 per cent. of the
business transacted.. Ile also mentioned
that more business has been transacted
directly by the Patrons with manufacturer
and wholesale dealers than through the
agency, and that, as an organization, the
operations may : safely be estimated at
$ . 400,000 during the present year, with a
net saving of from $75,000 to 100,000.
The condition offlie order is very flour
ishing. At the time of meeting last year
tlfe,Granges in the State numbered 440 ;
now 630, showing an increase of 100,
Whilst only 14 have ceased to exist by con
solidation or surrender of charters. The
total number of members in the State on
the 30th of Sept. last wa5.25,000, and by
counting or estimating additions during
the present quarter, not yet officially re
ported, the membership, cannot be less
than 30,000 to-day. For the quarter end
ing Dec. 31, 1874, 378 grangers reported
and paid dues ; for • the second, ending
March 31, only 10 out (if A 27 were dclin
yneut
; for the third qteirter, 17 out of
51N failed to report, and out' of 569
have not yet reported'for the last quarter
ending Sept. 30. What becomes of all
the money 2" the secretary answers by a
minute statement of receipts and expend
itures, footing up---req!ipts for the year,
$:1,812.35, and disintrsements, $8,216.
leaving a balance on hand of $396.22,
which account is pronounced correct by
the finance committee. To this is added
$7lO, balance on former account for 1874.
The Pomona granges arc all in good
working condition. Nineteen were or
ganized,during the present year.
ion. B. LAPORTE was made, chair
man of. the Centennial Committee.
Mr.. G LADD' NG having resigned as - a
member of the Executive Committee,

made at the approaching session of
the !Legislature for the enactment of
a c law pro,hibiting cattle, swine, ke.,
,from running at large in the streets
and roads of this county. Such a
movement should meet the approba- I
tion of every good citizen. The prac
tice of allowing cattle and other do- 1

yam 'secretary, with havino some connec

in their interest havimt, imPropetly influ
enced yoti to rc%oko the order of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, tansferring su

have claimed the credit of having intlu-
eneed you to revoke that o
my duty now to assume they
and ireceive whatever odin
tachei the retd, and with thi.,
leavg to remind you of 02.'1
occur to me.
On or- about the last d. y of January,
WO,: I received a letter - rout Commis
sioner Douglass, includitlg ite:Secretary's
Orddr Of the firth of Januat '
transferring
mc to ,St. Louis district and directing me
to report there for duty o i n the 15th of
February. I went to Washington on the
night of the 3d of February ; saw Com
missioner Douglass on the morning of the
4th,i and asked him how 'Ong I eras ex
pected to remain at St. Louis, to which he
replied : "Perhaps 4 year ;I six months .at
least." I said, if so, I wohld have to re
sign, as I could natgo to St. e Louis for six
months: 3lr. Douglass sta d that these
transfers originated and ware ordered by
the ; Secretary, and that I lfad better see
him..,
I then went directly to the Arlington,
; Where Secretary Bristowas confined to
hisiroom from the effects o a fall. I had
I
quite a lengthy interview. I made sub-.
stantially the statement to 4im t that if t'
wa's proposed to keep me at St. Louis six
months or a year, I would be- compelled
to tender my resignation, as I could 'not
take my family with mc, and I would not
leaVe them six' months for the sake of the
office ; besides which, thad some property
anil other pet .lonal interests that could not .
he ;neglected for that length of time. The
llOnorablo SeCretary finally agreed that I
should go,- with the tinders lading that 1 1
was at libertY, to return of the Ist day of
.IPril, thus making my ab encc about six
weeks.
To this I assented, but .a the same tine
stated I should not be able to accomplish
attY goO ; that if the ex i tensive frauds
which he- feared were hei to- perpetrated
there and at other points by the distillers,,
were committed with the . y id of the local
- officers, they would lover 't up so, deep
that I should not be able to discover it ;
that the fact of the tradsf rs of supervis
ors and revenue agentsim 'Mg .been pub
lished, giving the parties full notice for
two or three weeks that tl ere were to be.
such changes, would give ample time to
the persons interested to so completely
cover their fraudulent t . .sactions as to
render it almost impossibfe to trace them,
'and :I respectfully suggelted that in my
opinion it would be - much better to send
some competent, diScre4 person who
would not be known, an whose whose move-
Ments would be entire]3secret, to see
i
what was going on/and n this way the
ptirties could be on/and
i i the act of de
frauding, and sufficient e idence obtained
on which to make seizuT, and thereby
g!t other proofs of frau I ; and I urged
that this plan should be adopted, not only
in St. Louis, but Chicago and other sits:
pected points, anti suggested that Special!
Agent Brooks, who, ]tae, been on duty
with me for about-ve years, would be
the very best man for that purpose Of
Whem I had knowledge.
Finally, the Secretary

! You listened to me attentively and final
ly stid the more youthought about the
Subject the more you were convinced that
the transfer of supervisors as ordered
Would result in little or no goo - d. You
!said that you would suspend the order
that day. Thus you filly decided to sus
pend the order and so sated to me before
I left you, and before General Babcock
had an opportunity to speak to you on the
subject, as he was not present at the time;.
and I am quite certain that you arrived
at this conclusion during our interview. --

What I said to you on the stbject was
in my judgment for the best interests of

felt it due both to you and Gen. Babcock
to make this statenient of facts, to be

charges made from time 'to time in the

war" we do not aeeiept the notions of
statesmen, but the blunders of un
reasoning malice a d stupidity, and
of, course we coal no 'to accept it

There is the who c case in a nut

North during a political . campaign
keeps these rebel villains discreet:
;
Once let them gai power to 'undo

th Republican party deserves the ,credit

"Certainly. If it had been a Wit() atom

check for the amount, and after.the lat
ter had retired, Mr. SUMNER, tuning to
Mr. CARPENTER, remarked : "There is
an incident worth remembering such a
one as could never have occurred in any
country but our own." That cancelled
check, if still in existence, with:'-,Senator
SUMNER'S signature on.its face and Vice-
President l'itiLriOles the haelr, would
be a very desirable autograph. The
statement has been published that Mr.
WILSON left property worth only $5,000,
of which $3,000 is in a house in Natick
and $2,000 in miscellaneous securities.
This is all ho had saved after along life
in service where none but the rifest scru
pulous man would have failed to amass
Wealth. It was of the utmost importance
that an honest man should be, dftring the
war, chairman of the Senate COmmittee
on Military Affairs. I
Tun editor of the Springflela (Mass.)
Republican has taken the trOuble'to draw
a comparison between the wages! paid for,
labor now with those paid it 18t and he
finds that in all the important dep, rtments
of service except railroads there is an ad-
vance still retained of from 40445 65 per
cent., and the average advance for all
classes covered by, the investiOation is,
on railroads, 3.5 per cent.; in cotton facto-
ries,. 50 per cent.; woolen 65 per
cent.; paper milLs, 55 percent; button
factories, 55 per cent.; cigar makers, 50
pee cent.; whip factories, 44 'per cent.;
iron and Wooden ware work. 4, 64 'per cent.,
domestic service, 65 per cent.; day labor,
40 per cent. In commenting on these
facts, au exchange says : "In view of
this advance of wages and theigreat de
cline in the prices of goods and in the
value of property and securities, the re
duced chances for capital arc: apparent
enough."
THE list of special buildings 6n the Cen
tennial Grounds is constantly . increasing,
and the present indications are that their
total number will be from oto 250.
Most of the important foreign : nations—
England, Germany, Austria, France,.Swe

had another attack of the third term

by a vote of 232 yeas, to 1 8 nays:
Resolved. That in the opinion of this
House the precedent established by Wash

Stites in retiring from the 'iPresidential
office after their second term has becoine
by universal concurrence a part of .our
