THURSDAY NOV. 21, 1878.
The election of Blsbee (Rep ) In
Florida la now conceded.
The Treasury Department ha
commenced the purchase of silver bul
lion at Denver, Colorado, for green
backs. This elves the miners an on-
portunity of dealing directly with the
Treasury Department, Instead of
through brokers.
Government officers In New York
are continuing the Investigations Into
the adulteration of refined sugars,
They decline to make known the re
sult of their analysis at present, pre-
terring not to mention names of bus-
pected refiners until proofs of fraud are
firmly established.
C It is reported, on what is said
to be good information, that the bodv
of A. T. Stewart was taken to Canada,
and is now concealed there. Thieves
who demand a ransom of 8100.000 for
the remains, have placed the matter
in the hands of a Moutreal lawver and
are negotiating through him. as there
Is no treaty governing cases of this
kind. It will bo impossible to arrest
the thelves. Another report says the
body Is hidden at or near Shamong,
Jiuriington county, New Jersey forty
miles northeast of Camden, and the
thieves can bearrcstcd at any moment.
The Philadelphia Record says
that Chairman Quay was pretty well
tired out Tuesday night. When he
sought his bed in the morning, after
the exciting events of the night, he
gained no rest. A pet canary which
had become infused with the spirit ot
enthusiasm that pervaded all Repub
lican hearts, sang loud the notes of
victory ,by the couch of the man who
led the hosts to victory, and the chair
man failed to sleep. It is something
unusual for a bird to sing at four
o'clock in the morning, but this was
an unusual occasion.
3Iuch ex Itenient was created in
oil circles on the 16th by reports from
the bullion district thai Phil ipi' well,
on the R. Vandcrlin farm, had struck
and was flowing at the rate of 1,000
barrels a day. Reliable intelligence
places the production at from 500 to
800. The well is owned by Phillips'
Brothers, who have drilled twenty-five
dry holes in search of this belt. The
bullion district is in Venango county,
eighteen miles from Oil City. In con
sequence of the strike the market de
clined from 90 6-8 to 80 5-8, notwith
standing desperate efforts of the bulls
to prevent it.
A young farmer named Albert
Vansiccle, who lived nearSligo, John
boii township, and removed last spring
to the northwestern partof Kansas, in
tending as soon as he had a home, to
return for his wife and children, who
remained behind. It is reported, un
fortunately, that while absent in Kan
sas, he formed the acquaintance of a
certain female, and in a short time be
came too Intimate, so much so that
since his return numerous letters have
passed between them, the contents of
which became known to his wife. To
solve his domestic difficulties he blew
out his brains with a revolver, after
having Imbibed a pint of whisky to
strengthen his nerves for his leap into
eternity.
The Philadelphia Record says:
"There is an old law in this State
wheh provides that all persons who
use profane language are amenable to
it, and upon conviction may be fined
$100 and suffer an Imprisonment of
three months. Esquire Simons f
Conshohocken, has had occasion to re
vive the ancient statute, because
while hearing a case yesterday, Leslie
Stewart, a police officer, of West Con
Bhohocken, became unruly in hisofllcc,
and, it is averred, used profane words
to the Justice. In order to mete out
punishment to the officer, Squire Si
mons caused the arrest and had him
held to bail for violating this sacred
law. This is the first case of the sort
which has occurred for years.
A terrible story of scandal and
death comes from Washington county.
A man named Henry Walls, who is in
the coal mining business, lived at a
little town named Coal Bluff with a
Wife and eight children. His eldest
child is a daughter, twenty-two years
of age, who has a child about five years
oldv which is supposed to have her
father as its parent. About a month
ago an abortion is said to have been
procured by Walls upon his daughter
to cover his guilt a second time. Wails
eloped with his daughter and went to
Ohio. Mrs. Walls became partly in
sane, and on Saturday she deliberately
drowned herself, leaving seven child
ren completely destitute. Wall is a
man about fifty years of age.
We learn that a meeting of a few'
of the moneyed kings of Wellsville was
held a few evenings since to discuss
the subject of a norrow gauge railroai
from that place to Eldred. Fron
what we can glean the cost of complet
ing the toad was estimated at $125,000,
It is said that over 75,000 would be
ubscribed Immediately by parties re-
Biding in Wellsville. It is understood
that the Wellsville people are anxious,
if the road should be built, to have the
control of the same, and it would prob
ably be owned by a few individuals.
If the road should be built it would
certainly get a large passenger bu
siness,, and If the oil territory in the
vicinity cf Wellsville should prove
fruitful, the road would in a short
time be an important one as a connect
ing Hue between two oil fields. El

From the ItnUlmoro Uuzotte. -
There is something of moral force
and grandeur in the rule of the Cam
erohs in Pennsylvania. Since Simon
the First rose from his humble print
ing office and began to sway the poli
tics of that State fifty Empires hove
come and gone among men. He saw
the Fourth William of England sink
into the grave and Victoria ascend the
throne. He saw Charles X of Franco
fleeing before the wrath of a betrayed
people j saw Louis Phllllppe dethroned
In France and a Republic established,
and he saw the usurping Napoleon
rise to the head of an Empire, while
he was great in the State, ond saw
him tumble off his pasteboard throne
like a clown In the pantomime. Since
he become the dictator of politics in
Pennsylvania, Austria, Italy and
Greece have successively been shaken
by the revolution. He has known two
Czars of Russia and three Kings of
Italy, and has seen the Padlshas of
Turkey come and go like puppet in
the skilled hands of a showman. New
worlds have grown up ami have been
fitted with rulers since he became the
leader of men. He has seen the Pal-
merstons and the great Premiers of Eu
rope rise to power and dwindle out of
sight. He saw Thiers twice the savior
of France, and then followed him to
his grave In all these years his power
hasremaitcd unchanged and unshaken
and he passes his sceptre to his son,
with undiminished grandeur, while
he steps back into ease and domestic
peace, with the complacency of a Lear
who divided his kingdom. Gre-t is
the name of Cameron, and great Is the
dynasty which Simon has founded iu
Pennsylvania. It is a mighty power
to-day, and it will doubtless exist with
vigor unimpaired, when the New
Zeulund traveller sketches the ruins
of St. Paul, and when the last of
the race of the drunken weavers
of Moyamenslng pauses on a frosty
moonlight night in front of the dial on
Independence Hall, and, leaning
against the fence, musingly contem
plates the marches of the centuries on
its pale face.
The "Fat Contributor" says in last
Saturday Sight: "Some heartless para-
grapher thinks it would be easy enough
for Dan Rice to start a menagerie be
cause the wolf is always at his door.
Rice though poor enough, can never
be troubled with t lie wolf at his door.
His present wife was the only child of
a wealthy banker in Uirard, Pa.,
named O'Connell. They were mar
ried in the Full of I8ul, it being a run
away match. Rice was then 37 and
his wife 16. Her father, a Presbyterian
deacon, was teriibly chagrined and en
raged because the 'idol of his heart
and home' married a showman, and
he refused to recognize them. At his
death, however, lie bequeathed his
property to their son Dim Rice Jr.,
whose mother has the benefit of the
interest until the boy becomes of age.
The property amounts to about 175,
000. So don't worry yourselves over
'poor' Dan Rice.
A fire at the Virginia Penitentiary,
on Friday morning, destroyed a large
three-story brick building over two
hundred feet long. The fiames origi
nated iu the engine room. Another
building, of similar proportions, was
separated by a narrow yard, a part of
which was occupied by a tobacco man
ufactory, and the remaining part by a
dining hall for prisoners. It caught
fire at many windows, but the fiames
were kept clown by the st returns efforts
of the fire department. Last named
building intervened between the fire
and the main buildings in which the
prisoners are confined. There is much
excitement among them. The prison
guard was aided by the police force
and by soldiers.
Don't Don't point your gun at
yourself. Don't point your gun at any
one else. Don't cary your gun so that
its range includes all of your bunting
companions. Don't try to find out
whetheryour gun is loaded or not by
shutting one eye and looking down the
barrel with the other. Don't use your
gun for a walking stick. Don't climb
over a fence and pull your gun through
muzzle foremost. Don't throw your
gun into a boat so that the trigger will
catch on the seat and the charge be de
posited in your stomach. Don't use
your gun for a sledge-hammer. Don't
carry your gun full cocked. Don't
carry your gun with the hammer
down. Don't be a fool. Don't you
forget it.
The Mormon women held a meet
ing in the theatre at Suit Lake City,
Utah, and passed resolutions avowing
that belief in the patriarchal order of
marriages as revealed to God's people
in past ages, which, if lived up to,
were conducive to long life, strength
and glory. They indorse it as one of
the most important principles of our
holy religion, and claim the right of
its practice.
Walton Dwlght, ex-mayor of Bing
hampton, died Friday night, "aged
forty. He was a large lumber dealer,
Colonel of the Pennsylvania Bucktail
Regiment during the war, and of late
belonging to Chicago.
The sum appropriated for the sup

THE

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
Publishes both the religious and secu
lar news that is desired in any family,
while all that is likely to do harm is
siiutout. It devotes lour pages to re
ligious news, and four to secuiar.
The New York Observer was first
published in 1S23 ; and it is believed
to be t he only instance of a Religious
Newspapaper continuing its even
course for lifty-slx years without a
change of name, doctrine, intent, pur
pose, or pledge from the date of its birth.
The Fifty-seventh Volume
will contain all the important news
that can interest or instruct; so that
any one who reads it will be thorough
ly posted.
We do not run a benevolent institu
tion, and we do not ask for the support
of charity. We propose to make the
Best Newspaper that is published, and
we propose to sell it as cheaply as it
can be afforded. Let those who want
pure, sound, sensible, truthful reading
subscribe for it, and let them induce
others to do the same. We are now
publishing in the Observer the story
of
JOAN THE MAID,
by Mrs. Charles, author of "Cbroni
cies of the Schonberg-Cotta Family."
We send no premiums, we win

The Sun for 1879.
Thk Sus will be printed every day during
th o yeAr to onie lis purpjse and method
will be tli o same as in llie past : To pre
sent all tbe news in a reliable ehape, and
to l ell 1 lie truth though the heavens fall.
The feliN has been, is, and will continue
to be independent of everybody and every
thing cave the Truth and its own cuuvic
tioiiB or duly. That is the only policy
which a newsntipcr need nave, that la tne
policy which ling won for thia newspaper
l be couhdeuce and friendship of a wider
constituency thn was ever enjoyed by any
other American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people.
It is not for tl e rich man against the poor
man, or for the poor uniii against the rich
man, but it seeks to do equal justice to all
interests in the community. Ii is not the
organ of any persou, class, sect or party.
There need be no mystery about i's loves
htid hates. It is for the hmiest man against
he rogues every time. It is for the honest
Democrat, against tbe dishonest Republi
can, and for the honest Republican against
the diHhooest !'ein crat. it does not lake
ts cue from tbe utterances of auy politi
cian or pol tical organization. It gives its
support unreservedly when men or meas
ures are in agreement wiin tbe Uoustilut'on
and with tbe principles upon which this
Kepublio was louuueu for tne people.
Whenever the Coustilutioa and constitu
tional principles are violated as in the
outrageous conspiracy of 1870, by which a
man not elected waB pluced iu the Presi.
dent's otlico, where he still remains it
speaks out for the right. That is Tub
iM'N's idea of independence. Iu this re
spect there will be no change in the pre
grimtuie for 1879.
in is M-N has fumy earned the hatred of
rascals, frauds ani humbugs of all sorts
and sizes. It hopes to deserve that hatred
not less in the year 187'J Iban in 1878. 1877,
or any year gone by. Tus Sus will con
tinue io shine on the wicked with unmiti
gated brightness.
while ihe lessons of the past should be
constantly kept, before the people. The Sun
does not propose to make itself in 1879 a
magazine of ancient history. It is printed
tor the uieu aud women of to. day, whose
concern is chiefly wuh tbe affairs of to-day.
it lias not h tne disposition and tne ability
io afford, in readers the promptest, fuller!,
and most accurate intelligence of whatever
in the wide world is worth etteution. To
this end the resources belonging to well
esiablixhed prosperity will be liberally em
ployed. The present disjointed condition of par
lies in this ouuutry, and the uncertainty of
the future, lend an extraordinary signifi
cance to the ev uts of the coming year.
The discussions of the press, tue debates
aud nets of Congress, cud tne movements
of tbe leaders iu every section of the Ke
publio will have a direct bearing on tbe
Presidential election of 188U an event
wnich must be regarded with the most anx
ious interest by every piiriotio Amerioan,
whatever his political ideas or allegiance
To these elements of interest may be added
the probability that the Democrats willoon
trol both bouses of Congress, the increas
ing feebleness ot the fraudulent Aduiinia
siration, and tbe spread aud strengthening
everywhere of healthy abhorenoe of fraud
in any form. To present with aeouracv
aud clearness the exact situation in each of
us varying phases, and to expound, accord
ing to its well-known methods, the priuoi
pies that should guide us through the laby
rinth, will be au important part oi The
fcUN's work for 1879.
We have the means of making The Son,
as a politioal, a li.erary and a geuerai
uewrpaper, more entertaining and more
useful than ever before j and we mean to
apply them freely.
