SUNBURY, JANUARY 29, 187
The bill introduced ia the State Senate
in favor of granting the presu more liberty,
is just in itself, as it recognizes the presu in
a manner somewhat gratifying. Such a
law as is proved will prevent speculative
or malicious prosecutions, and will uot
prevent the easy recovery of damages
where a real libel is published. No princi
ple maintained in the present libel law is
put aside in this, but the privilege of show-
in the truth of statements made, and of
the absence of malice, is clearly piveu in
t bis proposed law.
The time has come when the press de
serves some consideration in this business.
It not unfrequently happens that parties
engage in libel suits, with no other purpose
than to get money, a sort of character
speculation, or levying of blackmail. We
are confident in the belie! that in this State
there is far less purpose on the part of the
press to willingly libel any persou than
there is on the part of persons to catch at
anything that may be said in the papers as
a cause for a suit for libel.
OCB neighbor of the Democra t probably
thinks that his readers have forgotten when
te lectured the Democratic officers of the
County, several years ago, for giving part
of their advertising to his friend of the Ga
zette, claiming that "to the victors belonged
the spoil. " Bat since Uie Republican
Commissioners gave him a taste last year,
in giving him a portion of their advertis
ing, and paying dearly for the whistle, he
has changed his tactics, and is now trying
to secure the patronage from the other Re
publican officers. To show that you are
consistent, neighbor, you had better recom
mend to the Democratic officers to share
their patronage. They are strictly party
bound, and you bad better advise them to
try your recommendation. They will un
doubtedly feel at liberty to comply with
vour nrescnt views. "Consistency thou
j
art a Jewel," Jacob I Now let us see that
you practice the doctrine you preach.
The new postal law, since its practical
workings have begun, is not very popular
with the country postmasters, and they a re
loudly grumbling. Under the the old law
their salaries were bared on the number of
stamps tbey canceled now it is on the
number Bold. But it often happeus, they
say, that persons io the country buy large
amounts of stamps in the cities and use
them for their letters. Heretofore such
letters have counted in rating salary ; now
they form no port of the rating, and will
thus work a considerable reduction. Be
sides this.the postages on newspapers have
heretofore been paid at the office of delive
ry and the commissions thereon had a con
sidcrable part of the salaries of country
offices. Under the uew law, howcver,these
postages are paid in the large cities where
such periodicals are published, and this
will make a most important reduction in
small office salaries.
The Committee ik Louisiana. It is
to be siucenly hoped that the Committee
of Congress, now in New Orleans to in
vestigate the political affairs in that State,
will be able to arrive at the facts. The Re
publicans and Democrats in New Orleans
to the Committee statements which they
promise to support by evidence. The Re-
publicans .promise to 6how that there has
been not oulv continued intimidation of
Republican voters throughout the Slate
and a great number of political assassina
tions, but that the White League has been
engaged in this work; that the colored
people have been proscribed, driveu from
the public (schools, and discharged for po
litical reasons from places where they were
employed. Whether these witnesses will
appear for the purposo in large numbers is
exceedingly doubtful, for the testimony
will be published, and every man who tells
the truth coucerninz these ruffians and
their conduct will be marked as the victim
of fresh persecution. On the other hand
the Demociats claim that they can show
that the election was a fair one, that they
carried the State and that the frauds of the
Returning Board alone deprived them of
their rights.
The election of Andy Johnson as Sena
tor from Tennessee is supposed by many
Democrats will be mortifying to President
Grant and certain Republicans. In this
they will find themselves mistaken. He
will be amusing and oceassionally undigni
fied, but not capable of serious harm. On
ihe contrary he is likely to do more injury
to the Democracy thaa any one hundred
men on the face of the earlb. lie will do the
party he opposes more good than a legion
of voters. IVing the worn! enemy of his
friends, and the best friend rf his enemies,
is his best hold. He has never enjoyed the
respect or confidence of the "upper class"
or aristocracy of Southern politicians. He
was never a secessionist nor a nullifler. He
rejected the extrcne doctrines of State
Rights nd Slate sovereignty Democrats.
He has always becrj a National, as opposed
to a State Sovereignty Democrat. When
the war came, Joboann adhered to the
Union, and the others followed the "State"
into rebellion. But, nevertheless, Johnson
has always had the support of the majority
of llie people of Tennessee, as he has now
in this Sight with his old Deru(cratic ene
mies. That he will be particularly grate
ful or serviceable to them, is extremely un
likely. Andy ia a good hater.

In searching for the causes which have
led to the scenes of lawlessness and violeuce
in Louisiana and other Southern States,
the Pittsburgh (Jrnuiaanal says : The
real cause has not yet been touched upon.
It is to be found in the aid and comfort
given to the Ku-Klux aud White leagues
by the Northern Democracy. The election
of Allen in Ohio, in 1873, and the New
Hampshire and Connecticut elections of
last spring, resulting in the choice of Katon
as United State Senator from Connecticut,
gave the Southern moboorats their mo6t
substantial encouragement. As soon as
the Ku-Klux saw that there was a chance
of the Democrats returning to pow er again,
they began to crawl from their holes and
to hold up their heads boldly ; and the De
mocratic successes in October, 1S74, still
further encouraged aud emboldened them.
They threw off all disguise when they found
their natural allies coming once more to the
front ; and if there had been no Demo
cratic succcbs at the elections in 1S74, there
would have been no outrages in Louisiana
to mourn over or put down. Those Re
publicans, therefore, who through caprice
and petulance, voted the Democratic ticket
at the last election, may credit themselves
ith having contributed thereby to the re
bellious attitude of the South at tnis
moment The only sure cure for the
Louisiana troubles is to be found in the
return of the North to its Republicanism.
A Republican victory in New Hampshire
aud Connecticut at the ensuing elections
will do more thau the army can to restore
peace to the South ; and a Democratic vic
tory, there, will only intensify the present
trouble.
The reason for all this is not hard to
find. The Democrats of the South,
judging the present by the past, regard the
Northern Democracy as allies who win
stand by them in whatever they uo ; and.
satisfied that they may rely upon this co
operation, their policy is to establish a
reign of terror throughout the koutn wnicu
will keep the Republicans there from
voting, and so get into possession of the
government of the Soulheru States. Once
in power, tbey feel perfectly able to man
tain their ascendancy by reduciug the
blacks to Peonage and cutting them off
from their rights and privileges, and if the
Democrats can hold on to the States they
now have in the North, the election of a
Democratic President in 187t wouid be easy
Hence the struggle to get possession of
Louisiana, and hence, also, the outbreaks
in Alabama and Mississippi. It is all part
of a general Democratic scheme to cap
ture coutrol of the General Govern
ment ; and the essential part of the scheme
is that the Democrats should hold on to the
Northern States, already partly in their
possession. A Republican reaction will
knock this scheme into fragments ; and the
be6t way to sustain the Presideut in bis
effect to sustain the laws Is to strengthen
his hand with Republican victories. The
White Leaguers will yield to such results
quicker than to any other.
Jackson and Sheridan. When Gen
eral Jack6onassumed the defense of New
Orleans he put the city under martial law.
Nor did he relax any of its severity after
his great victory over the British. He re
ceived the news of a treaty of peace be
tween the two countries, but for prudential
reasons continued the exereise of martial
law. He arrested a private citizen and
held him under military authority. Judge
Hall issued a write of habeaf roqms, but
Jackson not only refused to recognize it,
but sent a guard of soldiers to escort the
Judge outside the city limits. A few days
after civil authoritj' was rrstored Judge
Hal! returned, and summoned General
Jackson before him to show cause why lie
should not be punished for contempt, &c.
First, in his arrest of a private citizen ; se
cond, in bis refusal to recognize the writ
issued ; third, in his unlawful expulsion of
the Judge. Jackson claimed that all his
acts were fonuded on public necessity.
His defense was not sufficient for the Judge,
who was trying his own case. He was
fined 1,000, which he promptly paid out
of his own pocket. Years after the paj
ment, the fine was remitted by Congre-s
on the ground that General Jackson acted
iu the interest of the public good and for
the public safety. The Democrats, who
now denounce General Sheridau for doing
less than Jackson did, should remember
that every stone cast at him ia one thrown
at the hero of Democracy. Sheridan, like
Jackson, has the firmness to do his duty,
and the enemies of law and order in Loui
siana would Uo well to recognize trait in
his character before they feel its hand.
The EtjmbUr.
The auuual message of the Democratic
Governor of Georgia, Gov. Brown, calls to
our attention a very remarkable fact, and
one that will be apt to somewhat sur
prise the general public. By national law
each State receives an annual appropria
tion for arms. Gov. Brown states that
Georgia haa lately received this appropria
tionor the four year that the ixole of that
State were iu rebellion, and we presume the
other rebel States have been treated with
equal liberality. The Governor states fur
ther that with that national appropriation
to Georgia, 47 milliiary companies of that
State have been armed with the latest im
proved breech-loaders, oue artillery com
pany supplied with five Napoleon guns, and
one cavalry company completely equipped.
With such unprecedented liberality to
wards the rebel States tinco the rebellion,
northern sympathizers continue to howl
of tyrannical treatment towards the South

We received the following circular a few
days ago with a request for publication :
AN APPEAL FOR RELIEF Foil I'.OCK COUN
TY, MINN.
The great destitution prevailing in this
county on account of the destruction of
crops by grasshoppers, compels us to ap
peal to those who are more fortuuate, for
help for the suffering among us. This
county, situated in the Southwestern cor
ner of the State, is ou the frontier. Prior
to 1S72 it was chiefly a wilderness. Its
st'ttkrs now uumberiug more than 700
families, are mostly homesteaders. Their
all was expended in reaching their now
homes, providing some kind of habitation,
breaking a few acres of prairie aud making
a start. They have no resources except in
the produce of their farms, when their
crops fail all is gone. Nothing i3 left but
starvation if help from abroad cannot be
obtained. A large portion of the crop of
1873 was destroyed bv crasshonners. but
r . ..... ... . . . ,
cnougli was Ielt tlie settlers, oy mortgaging
their teams and the expected crop, to reach
the harvest of 1874. But just as the first
riot uruiu was becinninc to fall by the
reaper, their fields were again visited by
the pest, against which no foresight could
provide and no industry repair. The grass
hoppers came in clouds, and the results of
a years' hard toil, the sole dependence for
living for hundreds of families, were con
burned as by fire. The destruction of corn
and vegetables was complete, and less than
oue-third of the crop of wheat was saved
and this must be sold at the low price of 50
cents per bushel to satisfy the mortgages
given to carry them over last year, although
it represents the last loaf of bread and the
last hushel of seed of many a family. And
now we find ourselves in a condition that
is appalling. More than one-half of the
families in this country need assistance.
The wants of mauy arc urgent and imme
diate. The cold winter is upon them, their
clothing and bedding are scant and worn
out ; they have uo fuel but the wild hay of
the prairie ; they are in want of food ; they
are in want of all those things that in older
communities are called the necessaries of j
life ; they arc remote from tailway com
munication, hence, hut a meagre, portion
of the generous contributions that have
uiready been made has reached them, a
portion wholly inadequate to their wants ;
they cannot borrow of their neighbors for
they are hundreds of miles from the re
gions of abundant harvests ; they cannot
go elsewhere for they have no means
wherewith to go ; they have no where else
to go for this is their home. Although
they are in distress they are not discour
aged. O-.V believe that this scourge is
ouly temporary ; another iuvasion is not
anticipated. If the settlers can live
through the winter, and in the spring ob
tain seed, grain and feed for their teams,
they will sow a wider breadth than ever
before, aud, having a soil of wonderful fer
tility, they exjcct to reap a harvest that
will lift them out of their present uofortu- , amidst the wildest excitement ana cninu
natc condition. In behalf of these families j siasm.
who have been reduced to want and suffer-'
ing through no fault of their own, we ap- j
peal to the generous of our own State and
of other localities to contribute somcthiug
to preserve their lives and relieve their
sufferings. Contributions of food, clothing,
boots and thoes, fuel, com, &c, should be
directed to P. J. Kniss, Chairman of Rock

The Democratic officials of the House at
Harrisburg, have discharged a number of
colored women who have been employed
to scrub and cleen up about the hall, and
replace them with white women. One of
the discharged negro women, a poor old
gray haired creature, was passing out of
the hall or entry between the committee
rooms, after being turned off, aud when
opposite the door of the room assigned to
the Speaker of the Senate, on the Senate
side of lh! building, she happened to look in
and see the portrait of Abraham Lincoln
hanging on the wall. Pausing to gaze on
it a moment shcexclai.ned, 'Well, you has

The election of Mr. Wallace to the
Senate of the United States gratifies a life
long and cherished ambition, for which
laborious days have bw-n sacrificed. It is
understood that his political career has
centered upon the idea of climbing into the
honorable position he has reached at last.
Few out of politics know how much is en
volvcd in such an effort. To suddenly
leap from obscurity into public promin
ence and honor is a pcicc of good fortune
that comes of luck. But when a man sets
out to work his way to position, iu politics,
where so many aspirants are in waiting,
involves tireless energy and uufailiflg
sagacity. We are uot Mr. Wallace.s chron
iclers, but their is a chance, just here' for

The Republicans of Connecticut, like
their brethren in New Hampshire, have
spoken out boldly, faithfully and emphati
cally, in their States Convention, in sup
port of the President in his luisiana po
licy, and their action is confirmation of
what we have all along contended for, viz :
that when the Republicans of the country
could find opportunity to speak, they would
be uninfluenced by the cowardly example
set them by the leaders of public sentiment
in New York.
Connecticut is little more, territorially,
than an appendage of New York. The
two arc intimately connected, socially and
commercially, and the color of Connecticut
polities is almost insensibly tinged by this
close contact. But in this instance the
staid old Commonwealth has proved her
self greater than her metropolitan asso
ciates. I:i the next Congress there wiil be four
times as many Members who fouht in the
rebel army as their will be of those who
fought on the Uniou side. We are making
splendid strides towards putting the old
rebels in the ascendent. It will soon be
necessary for a person who was on the
Union side to apologize for having been so,
if he wants any favorable public recogni
tion. The N. Y. Tribune lias permitted a

THE SENATORIAL EXCITEMENT BATES
WITHDRAWN AND BROWN PUT UP.
Nashville, January 23. The Houses
met ui convention at noon. The galleries
and lobby were crowded aud the excite
ment was inteusc among the friends of the
different candidates. Speaker Hainu, of
the Senate, on taking the chair anil calling
the convention to order announced that
during the balloting of the convention to
day, the strictest order and decorum in th
gallaries and lobby must be observed ; that
upon the slightest disturbance by applause
or other demonstration, the convention
would either rise or cease balloting until
such measures as would protect its dignity
could be adopted and put in force, aud that
if order could not be obtained here the con
veution would move to some other city in
the State where order was more respected.
The convention then proceeded to take the
forty-ninth ballot : Johnson 42, Bates 47,
Ewing 7, scattering 2 ; necessary to a
choice 40. Fiftieth and fifty-first ballots
resulted : Johnson 44, Bates 47, Ewing 7,
scattering 2. Fifty-second ballot: John
son 43, Bates 40, Ewing 7, Sneed 1. Fifty
third and last ballot : Johnson 44, Bates
46, Ewing 9, Sneed 1. Governor Brown
was then renominated, amidst cheers and
excitement. General Bates was withdrawn
immediately after the nomination of Gov
ernor Brown, which seemed to he the sig
nal for renewed applause in the galleries
for their favorites ; and, amidst the great
est excitement and confusion on the floor
and cheers and applause for Brown and
Johnson from th galleries, the President 1
of the convention declared it adjourned, j
ordered the Senators to repair to their
chamber and left the chair. As soon as
order was established, the House was call
ed to order by Speaker Bond and adjourned
till ten o'clock to-morrow. The general
opinion is that the race is narrowed down
between Johnson and Brown, to be decided
on the first ballot to-morrow. The friends
of both gentlemen are sanguine of success.

Fire in the Xavy Department.
Washington, D. C. Jan., 23. 1875.
The Navy Department caught fire in the
upper story about half-past twelve o'clock
to-day, and spread rapidly, but was con
fined to the floor on which it originated.
The rooms were stored generally with re
cords. The upper floor was completely
flooded with water, and many of the re
cords have been seriously damaged. Near
ly all the Bureau officers and Chiefs of
Divisions made preparations for removing
the books and records from their respective
offices in the event of the spreading of the
flames. Some of the employees and officers
of the navy on duty in the building were
in danger of suffocation while attempting
to remove valuable records.
An investigation shows that the building
is as much damaged by water as by flames.
It is thought the fire originated by a de
fective flue, as the room in which it was
first discovered was unoccupied. Nearly
all the papers destroyed can be re-supplied.
The Secretary's office proper, in the wing
of the main building, was not damaged,
though every preparation was made for
removing the furniture and official papers.

the legal giants has not yet arrived. But
notwithstanding, the court-room is crowd
ed, and will continue to be.
THE BEECHER TACTICS.
The Beecher party evidently iuteud to
break Tilton's case by showing that he
(Tilton) has been a naughty man in his day,
and has been guilty of too mauy gallantries.
They may impeach him in this way, pos
sibly, and secure the legal acquittal of
Beecher is to be helped thereby. What
Tilton charges against Beecher is to be
proved, if proved at all, outside of his state
ments. Beecher may show him to have
been as bad as could be, but how does that
disprove the charge agaiust Beecher ? Mr.
Beecher is on trial before the world, not
before that court. What he has got to do
to preserve bis standing is to show, not
that another man is guilty in infidelities,
but that he is innouent. If he should show
that Theodore Tilton had lived the life of
a Rochester, it would do him no good, un
less he can also show that he has lived the
life of an anchorite. So far, I am in can
dor bound to confess Beecher has the worst
of it. Moulton has stood like iron to the
statements made in thepublic prints here
tofore, and the cross-questioners have not
been able to shake him in the least. Still,
all concerned are anxious. Tilton shows
the wear and tear of the past terrible year,
and so does Beecher, though not to the
same degree. Tilton is of a nervous tem
perament, while Beecher 13 stolid and
steady. Beecher can stand wear and tear
better than Tilton. It will be a long and
tedious trial, aud will accupy months.
THE FRENCH MASKED BALL.
The Freueh Masked Ball, the 21st, at
the Academy of Music, was, as usual, a
scene of headlong gayety and audacious
fun. It is always the wildest revel that
society can tolerate, but efforts were made
this year to preserve sufficient decorum to
allow the presence of ladies of good stand
ing, who have formerly felt obliged to deny
their curiosity, in the interests of taste.
The sight of drunken opera girls, in brief
ballet dresses, sprawling over the partitions
of their boxes, was too much even for fash
ionable sensibilities, and it was deemed
prudent to order carriages by midnight,
leaving the opera bouffe companies and
pretty French milliners in possession, who
kept wild revel till six in the morning. The
gayest of dauce music, from an orchestra
of one handred performers, the novel im
personations, aud charming French toilets
were attractions which crowded the Acade
my as it is crowded but once a year at the
repetition of these balls. The characters
were not so new as beautiful, the bacchante
crowned with vine clusters and leaves, a
gold cup iu her hand, a Spanish girl with
gold and purple skirt, black lace mantilla,
and fan, and high comb, queens and gip
sies, an apo covered with fur," and a fiend
iu flame color and black, who whirled in
the waltz, holding an angel with wings of
down in his arms. A family of profession
al dancers made their first appearance here
in two uew carnival dances, aud there was
a mock reception of the king of the Sand
wich Islands, aud a. lottery, which the
French delight in, was drawn, giving prizes
of diamonds, a gold watch and chain, be
side sums of money, to the holders of tick
ets. The taste and brilliance oi these balls
renders them the delight of fast New York,
which likes to encounter the fun aud aband
on of all the opera companies a short range.
THE UNION LEAGUE RECEPTION.
In e'ontrast to this entertainment, which
throws the mantle of broadest charity over
all who enti r its doors, the most select
ladies' reception, held annually by the
Union league, is given at their showy
club-house, on the corner of Madison
square. Not ten private houses in New
York have the room or the resources to en
tertain on a truly great scale, and the club
receptions supply the splendor which so
ciety craves. The balls of tho rich Union
League are high-dressed affairs, when
white silks that stand alone, round point
flounces and strings of pearh have it their
own way in the balls of the spacious club
house, whose wide drawing and dining
rooms, theatre, and picture-gallery, and
i v?ide stair-cases ore the nearest approach
to palatial brilliance of anything the city
has to boast. There the most stylish and
ambitious girl3 of the city, in toilets of un
impeachable elegance, will promenade the
wide corridors on the nrms of millionaires.
maj r-generals, and managing politicians.
The sight will be an instructive one. The
serious, stern-lipped man, to whom most
deference will be paid for his weanh and
influence, who speaks of the house of "
as we do of the house of Rothschild, began
his career here as a shop-keeper in Green
wich street, where he sold the most honest
six penny-worths in the city, and first drew
custom by the basket of lace remnants
always found on his counters. The thin,
worn-out young man, who promenades
carelessly with the prettiest belles, is a
stock-broker who inherited millions. At
thirty he has exhausted life, and spends
money for pleasure in a loose-handed, cyni
cal way. His mistress, to whom he is in
different, has 530,000 a year spent upon
her and laid away a small fortune of about
8200,000 against the day when he tires of
her utterly, on which she will emigrate,
play the role of rich widow, and marry re
spectably. The leader of society, whose
velvets trial as negligently as if she had
been born to them, and whose fine looks
well become her deep laces, was the daugh
ter of a poor mechanic. The other day an
old schoolmate sat hours in the rich wo
man's luxurious morning-room, among her
carvings, inland woods, aud Turkey car
pets, thinking of the time when she, with
other school girls, well born and bred,
looked down on the idea of associating with
the shoemaker's daughter. Now she
waited, cold, fatigued, and wet, an unre
cognized reporter for items about the Aca
demy ball, of which madanie was to shine
as as lady manager.
THE WEATHER.
Has been very cold for this section of the
world, particularly up the Hudson. Satur
day morning the East River was packed
with ice so firmly that people crossed on it
by the thousands rather than wait the slow
motion of the ferry boats. This makes the
third time this has happened for twenty
years.
The poor are suffering terrible from this
excessive cold, aud deaths are occurring
daily aud nightly from cold and starvation.
Work is scarce and wages are low, half the
laborers in the city are working on half
time, and the extreme cold makes living
higher than ever. How anxiously they
look for the coming of spriug, and how
slow the cold days pass will come too late
for many of them.
A LITTLE REMNANT OF FISK.
Jim Fisk is dead, but his work survives.
The Erie Railroad Company is puzzling its
wise head to know what to do with the
Grand Opera House, which was the scene
of Fisk's wild revels. Fisk bought the
Opera House of Pike with mouey that he
stole from the company, then he leased all
but the theatre part of it to the company
for ?76,O0O per annum. The theatre and
the rooms attached he wanted for his bevy
of harlots, and therein he held the wildest
orgies that this or any other country ever
saw. He had the entire seventies of the
company to draw from, and he made
things lively till Stokes cat bim down.
Now the company have resumed their old
offices, the Opera House is empty, and
what to do with it is a conundrum. It is
about the last relic of one of the boldest
bad men the world ever saw.
BUSINESS
is dull as dull can be in most lines, though
why, it would puzzle the oldest man to ex
plain. The country is full of money and the
city banks are packed with it. One would
suppose that with plenty of money people
would buy as many coats, bonnets, boots
and shoes as ever, and they would drink
as niuch tea and coffee as ever ; but they
don't, and consequently business is dull.
There are no count ry merchants in the city,
aud everything is blue. Well, it must re
vive sometime, and the business men are
waiting and hoping. May the change
come soon. Pietro.

War is rumored to have been declared
between Montenegro and Turkey. There
has been a long standing feud between the
Montenegrins and Turks, owing to tha en
croachments of the latter on the rights
claimed by the former. Turkey is much
the stronger, and has already dealt hardly
in war with the other. The importance
of the contest, however, is the belief that
other and greater Powers will become in
volved. The National Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers has inaugurated a reform
whose benefical eflects may, it is to be
hoped, presently be felt throughout the
entire country. Engineers, who are addic
ted to the use of iutoxicating liquors when
on duty are forthwith to be expelled from
the society. The new movement on the
part of the Brotherhood is a most commen
dable one, and will be appreciated not only
by the railroad companys, but by the trav
eling public. An association whose mem
bers have the lives of the public in their
hands has certainly co use for bibulous and
intemperate men.
Two hundred and four railroad passen
gers were killed, and nine hundred and
seventy-eight injured in this country last
year, against two hundred and seventy
six killed and twelve hundred and eighty-
three injured in 1373. This is a decrease
of about one-fourth. Doubtless the number
will continue to diminish as improvements
in rails, machinery, switches and signals
shall be made.
Beecher's trial drags slowly along and it
