Borcknort mill after shutting
down for a fow days, on account of
low water, again started up uuy ana
night on Monday the 1st Inst.
He was met Just where he didn't
want to be, as Yank says, on lost
Saturday. It's all right Pearl you
were only hunting.
AI. Short of North East and D. C
Oyster of Ridgway, were here from
Friday the 27th ult, until Monday,
Dec. 1st settling up their business

The ring hunters and also ourown
true hunters must bear In mind that
no deer can be killed after the 10th

D. C. Oyster has bought a third

firm consisting of D. C. Oyster, Al.
Short ;& V. HV' Horton . Is now
known as the Brockport & Keystone
Lumber Company.
The local editor of the DuBoise
City Courier must have had one of
those peculiar feelings last week that he
used to have when he and his dog Bill
resided at Camp Jock. How is it B.

No teacher has yet been hired to
teach the mountain school in Horton
township. We understand William
Raywlnkle, a son of Fred Ray winkle,
will commence the school on Monday
and teach it until some ' suitable
teacher can be bad.
That peculiar whistle heard in the
board piles at Short Horton's mill
has became familiar with quite a num
ber of our quiet citizens. The parties
connected witli the whistle had better
find another place to pipe their melo
dious tones where they can not be
heard by persons passing along the
ntgnway.
AnibTose-Stmit while cutting logs
on Johnson run for T. J. Taylor met
with quite a serious accident one day
last week. He was chopping the sec
ond log oft from the butt of a tree that
had been turned out or root by the
wind when he was hurled twenty
feet into the air by the root tipping
back, striking In such a manner that
he dislocated his right wrist and re
ceiving several other slight bruises.
We had the honor of hearing
Prof. C. W. Chamberlin and Bro.
play a fow of their choice pieces of
music on tueir violin and organ last
Sunday at the residence of Joseph
Chamberlin. If the Prof, would take
music lessons from some good teacher
iu a short time he would become au
expert with the violin. Willie with
what little practice he has had does
splendidly, Jn a few short years if he
continues to learn as of yore will he
one of the finest musicians.
"L. C; A." can wax him on play
ing pool. O yes, he can give him ten
or fifteen and then win the game.
"L. C. A." is like many others that
we know. He' - can't most always
some times tell who will win ten
games out of twelve games played.
Jennie, who. lives near the la r ere
elm tree, complains of being greatly
annoyed at night by being awakened
from her peaceful slumbers by trav
elers who pass quietly along the road.
Now we think the noise She supposed
to be made by buggies passing origin
from the parlor und the bass of the
same noise was heard at Jeff. Taylor's
not long since, wheu that miserable
old ox Kicked his master. For full
particulars and explanation see
Henry or Eliza.
M. A. Lowery our violin manu
facturer was very much disappointed
on lost Sunday evening, after borrow
ing a lantern for the express purpose
of escorting his fair lady to her ro
mantic and secluded wigwam was de
prived of the pleasure there being
another felicious youth present who
shown much brighter in the eyes of

WASillNaToN.D. C., Nov. 6, 1879.
The. opening of the regtilar session
of the 4th Congress, on the 1st ipst.,
created less setmtlou ,nnd attracted
less attention this yenr than the open
ing of a big beer garden. There was
none of thnt spice and importance iii
the proceedings which sends fie
average American spectator away
from tho galleries satisfied with him
self and his. Pickwickian representa
tive; from tho rural district.. All the
galleries in the House-Were filled,
except the Diplomatic Gallery. In
that sacred . inclqpure sat one solitary
figure a brown Japanese, a member of
tho legation of the great Sycoon, from
that Island. In tho sea. Hugo pyra
mids of flowers aud fragrant bouquets
adorned the desks of many of the
members. Before t he Speaker's gavel
fell to hush tho buz 'and rebuke the
throng and open the session, the
ardent handshaking, the sweet smiles,
the tender greetings, nnd the kindly
inquiries between the rabid Democrat
and the stalwart Republican, the soft
Grccnbacker and the hard gold-bugs,
the old Confederate and the old Union
istmade one.;tlilnk ho was looking
on, a reunion of long-parted friends,
instead of a gathering of hostile po
litical factions.
In the Senate the'sanie, or similar,
scenes were witnessed and similar Im
pressions made. Senator Tburnian,
notwithstanding the defeat in Ohio,
sat waving his famous red bandanna
behind a huge bouquet, smiling at all
who approached. "Some kind friend,"
said he to one who complimented the
flowers, "has sent these to decorate my
political coillu." The tall figure of
John Sherman, Secretary of the
Treasury, approached the old Priuco
of the Red Bandanna, saying, "How
are you, Judge Thurnmn?" "How do
you do, Mr. Secretary?" said the
Senator, rising. "Sit down," "No;
thank you" replied the Secretary.
"Oh, but I Insist that you sit down in
this chair," replied the Senator. "I
see by tho papers, that Tom Young,
ftrstand then Garfield, and then Stan
ley Matt hews, each came in and tried
my seat, and now I insist that you
try it.'TV'Oh, no,"fsaid the Secretary:
"if I should come back here, I would
prefer my old seat'' pointing to it.
The recommendation of the Secre
tary of the Treasury, in his report,
and of the President in his Message,
favoriug the retirement of the green
back from circulation, has developed
a decided opposition to such a mpnunrtt
among most of the Republican mem
bers trom the West, and among both
Democrats and Republicans from the
SoutB. For two days it was the
subject of discussion in the coat-rooms,
in the lobbies, and on thejlioor of the
House, but now ajjcalm succeeds the
breeze, out of which there came the
audible whisper from the potent
voice of a stronc maioritv "The
circulating medium shall not be de
creased, and the business of the
country destroyed by such legisla
tlon!" .
The niostMmuortant leeislatioii an
ticipated this session is a revision of
tne tariff. Whether tea. that bever
aire for which our forefathers raised
such a row in Boston harbor, is to be
rue ooject or taxation, or quinine,
which feeds our statesmen to rjreservo
their lives near the tadpole flats of the
Potomac, has not yet been determinep.
The stealiner and publication of the
President's Message and the report of
the (secretary of the Treasury, before
they were given to Congress, is still
the subject of investigation. - much
discussion, and, with a few, some
swearing. Many theories and specu
lations are advanced as to the manner
of pilfering them, and several fertile
schemes set on foot by the Executive
urancn ot tne Uovernment to get
these documents, in future, to Con
gress before the fingers of the thief
takes them away aud sells them for
$250. It Is not the first instance of
the kind, and therefore they will tax
their ingenuity only for the next ad
ministration to fall Into the same trap.
In 1867 President Johnson's message
got into the papers before it was read
to Congress, and il was stated that the
many journals.publisliiiig it paid $100
each for the "document. Notwith
standing this experience aud renewed
vigilance in 1868 Sccretaryof the
i reasury Mcculloch was startled by
readinir his report in a New York
paper several days before it was given
w uongress.
The Republicans of the District of
Columbia who have voluntarily re
mained disfranchised for some years,
in consequence of the great influx of
ragged and destitute Africans from
all portions of the South, voting for
anything that brought taxation to
property-holders, are now organizing
with a view to be reinstated with the
rights of an American citizen and the
power of the ballot. At a meeting
held several days since, Major A. C.
Richards was chosen president, and
Hon. Robert G. Ingersoll. and other
prominent Republicans elected vice
presidents. They were eloquently
addressed by Horn Robert Ingersoll
who made no allusion to the mistakes
of Moses, but dwelt principally upon
wie inisiuK.es oi i;ongress.
The improvements made in and
about the Capitol have been extensive,
and conduce largely to its beauty.
The broad approaches, which extend
from the aveuues through-tho grounds
on the west to the Captiol terrace,
uave ueeu ium in ornamental concrete
with guarding walls of white and
blue stone, and give much effect. The
ventilating ducts are complete. Paint
and polish have been freelv used
throughout the buildiug. Brumidi's
fresco in the rotunda has been so ex
tended that the visitor can appreciate
the beauty and grandeur of the paint
ing which, as a work of the painter's
art, surpasses all others in the Capitol,
save those ruugnificent pictures of
Morau, representing scenes iu the Yel
low Stone region.
Four car-loads of colored emigrants
from Goldsboro, N. C, passed through
this city a few days ago, on their way
to Indiana. They are healthy-looking
and well-behaved people, of all grades
and sexes. All of them, except about
twenty, had paid their fare through to
Indiaua. where they alleged, they in
tended to make their future home.
It was a solid Republican deleL'utiiHi.
and one of the old Africans, with a
lace as U4acd as polished ebony, and
wool as white as a ball of cotton, said:
'I feel jus' like one oh de chillun oh
Israel goiu' to de promis lan".

political conflict of this epoch will
take place. Upon its issue will depend
the political destiny of the country for
many years.
The Press steadily resists the aims
of the "Solid South," which is now
organized to capture the Executive, to
retain Congress, to remodel and con
trol tne huprenie Court, and to subor
dinate every publio interest to the
overmastering purpose of controlling
the policy of the Nutlou, and thereby
gaining by legislation and peaceful
means what It lost on the Held. The
Press enforces thc.duty of preserving
in full force the Constitutional Amend
ments made to secure the fruits of the
war; upholds the right of every law
voter to a free, and unbouirht exercise
of his right; inflexibly insists upon an
uouest return 01 tue votes cast; justi
fies the use of all necessary means to
fuevent frundulent voting and fraudu

fundamental the equal right of every
citizen to tlie--cljuate protection by

In its comments on men and affai,
The Sun believes that the cuidJ
policy sbould.be common sense inV-
spired by genuine -American princi
ple and backerUy honesty of purpose.'
For ty reason It is, and will continue .
to"bernbsolutely independent of cartv
class,- clique, organization, or interest. '
It Is for all, but of none. It will con-.
tinue to praise what is Jtood and ro-' j
probate what is evil, taking care that '
its language is to the point and plain. ;"'

aser with two cents. It hates injustice .
ana rascality even more than it hate-.
unnecessary words. It abhors frauds, ..
pities fools, and deplores nincompoop . ;
of every species. It will continue)
throughout the year 1880 to chastise- .'
the first class, instruct the second and
discountenance the third. All honest
men with honest convictions, whethar -v
sound or mistaken, are its friends. ";
And The Suit, makes no bones of tel-. - :
ling the truth to its friends and about '
its friends whenever occasion arise "
for plain speaking.
These are the priucples upon which
The Sun will be conducted during
the year to come. . j. :' ,
The year 180 will be one in which) ...
no patriotic American can afford to
close his eyes to public affairs. It is iui- "
possible to exaggerate the importance
of the political events which it Iras ta :i
store, or the necessity of resolute vi-
iiuiu;e on me part oi every citizen who ,
desires to preserve the Government ''
that the founders gave us. The de
bates and acts of Congress, the utter
ances of the press, the exciting'contest
of the Republican and Democratic
parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the countrv, the varying ''
drifts of public sentiment, will all bear V
directly erlectively upon the twenty' 'l'
fourth Presidential election, to beheld '
in November. Four years ago next
November the will of the nation, as
expressed at the polls, was thwarted
by an abominable conspiracy, thA-ttr
moters and beneficiaries of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the "
crime of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The
past decade of years opened with a cor-, tr
rupt, extravagant and insolent Ad-' i
ministration intrenched at Washing
ton. The Sun did BometUfng toward " . ' :
dislodging the gang, and brXktttg it, . i .V
power. The same men are How 1a til- '
guing to restore their leader and tknt- "' "V
selves to place from which they weri ' ' ' :,

pie. Will they succeed? The coming
year will bring the answer to these"
momentous questions. The Sun will
be on hand to chronicle the facta a
they are developed, and to exhibit
them clearly and fearlessly ta , their ;
relations to expediency and right t.
Thus with a habit of phifosuphielV
good humor in looking at the minor
affairs of life, and in grate firings a
steadfast purpose to maintalV the
rights of the people and the prlnfiplee
of the Constitution against all agkrea
sore. The Sun Is prepared to write "
truthful, instructive, and at the same
time entertaining history of 1880.
