As I was passing through the cor
ridors iq the basement or toe capitui
on the day after the reassembling of
Congress I saw a large crowd of mea
standing near the Llouse postoffice,
w hose-gesticulation and almost fren
zied conduct, accompanied by shouts
of "The Gray's on deck again." fully
satisfied me that the Confederates
were in luck. 1 afterwards ascertain
ed that the postmaster, who had been
elected by the Democratic caucus,
was an ei-Confederate Captain, and
that all of his subordinates were of
the same kidney. Extract from Col.
James Keegan't letter to the X. Y.
Sunday Democrat.
Wry. bleu my heart, say, look liyar Jim,
When did yoa git to town?
Dog on it I alnt glad, old boy.
To see you; come sit down.
And we'll have a talk of the old, old time.
And of the battles not fought In vain.
For the tide has turned, the Yank, are rained,
AuJ the Gray's on deck ajain.
It's many a day since we last met
In the trench near the old mud fort.
Where we oft-times piled the Yanks up high
In ib, morn after a good night's rporL
Yes, they scooped us In at the end, I know.
Though It went against our grain;
But the tide has turned, the Y anks are rained.
And the Gray 's on deck again .
What to you thick I see'd this morn,
A, I walked down the avenoo.
But old Ben Sim ma you know him well
He war captain of gun number two;
Aal he said as how we were fixed. By Jin-j'
Y'ou ougbter heerd him proclaim
How he got the posish of a one-armed Y'ank,
For the Gray on deck again.
Yis Congress Is bound to fix them now,
And to teach them a lesson or two.
We're gwiae to get back the niggers tley stole
With this army of boys In blue
Then we'll shout hurrah! tor the Southern star,
And the laad of the cotton and Ihe cane,
Fcr our y'ar at jubilo has come.
And the Gray's on deck again.

Hon. Jas. H. Garfield,
BEX. II I LI,.
Mr. Garfield commenced his re
marks by expressing his regret on the
course which the aeoate, especially
yesterday had taken. Anyone who
read the report of the speeches of
Messrs. Cox and LI ill w ould not sup
pose that the House was aiscussrug
the question of relieving men from
political disabilities; he would rather
have said that it was an arraignment
of the Administration of the country.
If be had been called upon to pick
out the words which constituted the
topic of debate, he should have pick
ed out the opening paragraphs of
Mr. Hill s speech, in which be prayed
that if the history of the past fifteen
years is an evidence of the grace and
magnanimity of the Republican par
ty, the country might be spared any
further exercise of those virtues. He
desired to bring the House back to
the real issues before it. In doine;
so he stated the two pending propo
sitions the one made by Mr. Ran
dall and the other by Mr. Elaine.
He said the speech made by Mr.
Rlaine bad been answered, in the
first place by the speech of Mr. Cox,
full of brilliant sallies but it was
joking at a funeral to joke on such an
occasion; in the second place by the
speech of Mr. Hill which arraigned
not the Republican party alone but
arraigned twenty-five millions of
people, arraigned the history of the
Republic, arraigned everything that
was glorious in its record and high
and worthy in its achievements.
He was deeply sorry that such ar
raignments should have been isade
on such a subject. He should try to
be responsive to the points made bv
the gentleman from Georgia Hill.
Ho did not desire to hold Jefferson
Davis responsible for the rebellion ;
be did not believe in the doctrine of
vicarious atouement in human affairs.
Jefferson Davis was no more guilty
tban anv other man who wen', into
the rebellion with equal light and in
teliigence. The question was wheth
er he who was the bead of the rebel
lion, practiced in the dread court of
war, the rules of war whether in
appealing to war he obeyed the laws
ot war, or whether he so violated the
laws of that high tribunal as that he
did not deserve permission to come
back into his place in Congress. That
was the whole question, ana it was
as plain and fair a question for delib
eration as had been ever stated in
the House. He wished that it had
been discussed without passion and
without passionate thoughts.
Coming down to Mr. Hill's denial
of the authenticity of the charge in
regard to Andersonyille, he remark
ed that the charges, whether just or
unjust, were made by the Govern
ment of the Uaited States, and in
that connection he quoted a comma
nicatioa from the Secretary of War,
io May 18G4, calling attention to the
condition of a large number of Fed
eral prisoners who has just returned
and arrived, and stating the enormi
ty of the crimes committed agaiost
those prisoners was snch and so well
known to the civilized world that it
ought to be put on record in some
permanent form. It was then that a
joint committee of the two Houses
was appointed, which committee bad
been characterized by the gentleman
from New York Cox as a humbug
committee," and by the gentleman
from Georgia Hillj as a "partisan
committee." There were four Dem
ocratic members on that joint commit
tee, and they coincided in the report,
which was unanimous- That report
declared that it was clear from the
evidence that it was the deliberate
purpose of the authorities of the
Rebel Governmect so to reduce those
soldiers, by deprivation of food and
clothing, as that they might be unfit
to re-enter the ranks. A large num
ber of these prisoners had come from
Belle Isle and Libby, where they bad
been under the very eyes of the chief
head of the Confederate Government.
Referring to the order for the estab
lishment of the Andersonvillepiison,
as quoted yesterday oy the gentle
man from Georgia, he asked how was
the order executed and to whose
bands was it committed. It was
committed to the bands of General
Winder, a man of whom the Rich
mond Examiner said, th day he
set
ESTABLISHED, 183
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY,
took his departure for Andersonville,
'Thank God that Richmond is at last
rid of old Winder; God have mercy
on those to whom be has been sent."
Mr. Garfield then quoted some of
the testimony given on the Wirz trial
as to the condition of the stockade,
the dead line, &t, and remarked
upon it, that in th miast ol a pine
country, a place had been selected
which has a miasmatic marsh in its
uiid.it, and that, a. small stream of
water having been found, troops had
been stationed on it above the stock
ade, so that it was defiled by all the
excrements of the tamp before it
reached the stockade. Besides that,
in the very excess of cruelty and as
if to negative every clause of the
order, men had beftn detailed to cut
down every tree in the enclosure and
leave not a tree, a ahrub or a leaf to
show where a garden or forest bad
been. He then rtferred to the re
port made by Colonel Chandler, who
haa been detailed t$ tapped the An
dersonville prison , which was, by
Adjutant General proper, submitted
to the Secretary of i War, with the re
mark that the condition of that pris
on was a reproach to the Confedera
cy. So that the (knowledge ot its

to the political family of Jefferson
Davis. Rut the answer to Colonel
Chandler's report as the issuing of
an order a few days afterwards, pro
moting General Winder to be Com
missary General of all the prisons aud
prisoners throughout the Confedera

eral of the army subsequently re
moved Wiuder, Davis revoked the
order of removal and indorsed on it
that it was entirely uncalled for.

As to Mr. Hill's comparison of the
atrocities of Elraira aad Anderson
viile, he challenged any Democratic
member from the neighborhood of
Elmira, Ca. p Douglas or Fort Dela

No Democrat doing so, he denounced
the assertion as fearful and awfully
uutrue.
Mr. Platt read a telegram receiv
ed by him from R. F. Tracy, late
Commander of the Military Post of
Elmira, stating that the fiwns justified
him Platt yesterday, in his denial
of inhumanity in "the treatment of
prisoners at Elmira.
.Mr. Walker rose on the l'emo-
cratic side of the House and, staling
that he lived within seventeen miles
of Elmira, indorsed the statements
in the telegram. . f applause on Re
publican side.
Mr. hill disclaimed anv purpose
in his remarks yesterday ot charging
inhumanity on anybody about Elmira
or anywhere else : be had only read
yesterday the letter from the New
Vork World, as evidence of the cru
elty inseparable from prison life, and
he had wound up the statement by
saying that the official records show
ed the relative mortality to be great
er among the Southern prisoners at
the JSorth than among the Northern
prisoners at the South.
A member Do vou charge that
the mortality among the Confederate
prisoners at the North was owing to
cruelty 7
Mr. Hill I do not undertake to
say io what the mortality on either
side of the hue was due. I say that
it was attributable to those horrors
inseparable from prison life anywhere,
and 1 intended my point against
striving to work up these horrors of
the past and to keep alive strife which
ought to be buried. Applause, j
Mr. Garfield remarked that, even
on the testimony of an anonymous
letter read yesterday by Mr. Hill,
the post of Elmira had been located
in as healihr a place as there conld
be found in the State of New York.
lie called attention to the fact that
the place in which the Confederate
prisoners who had died at Elmira
were buried, had been inclosed and
cared for by the Administration,
which had been characterized by the
gentleman from Georgia as malignant,
ferocious, const'tution-bating and
South hating.
M. Hill remarked that at the last
time of uecorating graves in the South,
the Southern people united with
Northern soldiers and decorated, in
harmon'ous accord, the graves cf the
fallen Federate and fallen Confeder
ates, and it was because of that glo
rious feeling that he protested against
the renewal of the history of sach
horrors. Applause.
Mr. Garfield So do I. Who
brought it here ?
Chorus from the Democratic side
"Rlaine! Rlaine! Rlaine!"
Mr. Gareield said be wished that
some fraternal feeling could follow
the forty mained Union soldiers who
bad recently lost their places about
the House.
A discussion ensued on that point,
which developed the statement on
one side that, whereas out of 153 sub
ordinate positions in the last House
only eighteen were filled by Union
soldiers, there were, out of eighty-
five subordinate positions m the pres
ent House twenty-six filled by Union
soldiers; and the statement on the
other side that in the House post-
office nine Union soldiers had been
dismissed and their places filled by
nine Confederate soldiers.
Mr. Garfield, passing from that
point, proceeded to discuss the ques
tion of exchange of prisoners, to re
late the history and to detail the
ran swa far the mterruDUon ol ex
change. He showed thai the central!
point of difficulty was in the deter
mination of the Confederate Govern
ment and people to exclude from the
common rules of war the officers and
men of negro regiments, while on the
other hand the Government of the
Union bad committed itself to the
doctrine that the negro was a man
and not a chattel, and that, being a
man, he bad a right to help to fight
for the Union, and that, beiBg a sol
dier, the Government was bound to
see to it that be was treated like a
soldier, ne also quoted a passage1

effect ;hat the arrangement for ex
change worked largely in their favor,
as they got rid of the most miserable
wretches and received back some of
the best material he had ever seen,
Commenting on that letter, he refer
red to it as an exhibition not between
per nubile J ratrum, but between par
diabvlum. The object of theoutrageous
treatment cf the prisoners at Ander
sonviile had therefor been to make
i nion soldie.sso that when exchang
ed they would be valueless. It seem
ed incontrovertible that the record
adduced on that subject was true,
and Jefferson Davis having been the
conscious author of that terrible
work at Andersonville, the American
people still held him unfit to be ad
u itted among the legislators of the
Nation.
In the course of some further re
marks, Mr. Garfield, having refer
ence to the army and navy officers
who bud gone into the rebellion, said
that they bad added to their other
crimes that of perjury in the eye of
the law. The word was caught at
and resented by Mr. Ticker, who
said that it reflected on some of the
noblest men, with whom t.e gentle
man from Ohio might be proud to be
classified as a peer.
Mr. Garfield explained that he
had merely said that these men
were, in the eye of the law, guilty of
perjury. He himself bad not made
the law or the dictionary. He con
cluded his speech with a peroration
in w hich he thanked God for peace
and for the fact that, in the awful
flame of war, slavery bad been hom
ed to death.

The city is thankful for the cool
change that came this week. Fog,
rain, aad fever-breeding weather
were ju.-st making ready for a host of
small epidemics. Iheice-meu were
sick w ith hope deferred, for their an
uual ice-crop, aud o.UOU men were
waiting for work to begin at the
trreat ice-bouses up river. There was
li'.tle need of invalids going to Flori
da. Rut the north west wind brought
bracing weather that makes life t
luxury. With all the warn:, unfavor
able weeks, the season is far from
being an unhealthy one, the death
ra:e for the week being considerably
less than the corresponding one last
winter. After the weather, the
beecher topic.
The motions of Plymouth Church
may de called erratic, if nothing
harsher. Iu last performance after
snubbing the idea of a mutual coun
cil. was to summon Mr. Rowen. edi
tor of the Independent, to a church
meeting to hear grievances against
him. His two sons were allowed
with him, on sufferance, but the sten
ographer he brought was promptly
turned ont. Rut the reporter made
good use of his time while he did
stay, and took down the debate word
for word, and quietly took satisfac
tion in putting into next mornings
papers, where it didn't read credita
bly to the fairness or order of private
Plymouth Church proceedings. Af
ter all, the charge against Mr. Row
en was that when a church demand
ed that he should tell all he knew
about the Reecber matter, he refused
to say anything rood or bad about
It. the shrewd, long-witted Rowen
knew what would exasperate the
swivel-iongued brethern, and did it,
by keeping his mouth shot. He
turned the tables on the meeting last
night by taking ground that the
church summoned him to hear charg
es and receive advice, not to answer,
and the Rowen mount closed like ad
amant. The silent man is the strong
est in the quarrel.

Rarnum's Hippodrome, where Jer

into a tabernacle for Moody and San-

Seats for 7,000 cover the saw-dust,

church choirs will lead the singing.
The vast build'nz has been divided
up into rooms for various purposes.
Resides the vast auditorium for the
regular meetings, there are four very
lar ire rooms for inquirers, rooms for

The money for all this has been furn
ished by wealthy religious people in
the city, who are determined to
make some head against the deprav
ity that rules the city, nd is ruining
it. One liquor seller, who has one of
he most popular bars in the city,
subscribed, and actually paid $1,000
to the fund for the Moody meetings.
hen asked why he paid h:s money
to a cause that was in direct conflict
with his business, be answered that
he had real estate, the income from
which was greater that the profits

is just as bad as ever. Last week
there were forty six failures, some of
them very large. Ohc jewelry house
went up with liabilities to the amoant
of $400,000, with over $700,000
worth of goods in their store that
is goods that had cost tbem that
amount. This S700.000 worth or
goeds cannot be sold to day for one
fourth their cost, fr the reason that
only very few are buying jewelry,
and that few can buy the best in the
world, of individuals, at half the
prices they can of dealers. A dia
mond never getsto be second handed,
and people who haro them are all
willing enough to realize on them, in

1 have no sympathy fortuose w ho

agance, but that is not the c!as that

failures of to-day are caused by the
dreadful depreciation of goods, and
the terrible dullness of trade. It is
horrible for a man who has worked
hard all his life, and is getting in po
sition to retire on a decent competen
cy, to have it all swept out from un

mostly of this class, and they aro to
be pitied.
THE EXIT.Essi M'-N.rOT.Y.
Everybody except the Express
Companies and their subr-idized
AgeLta oightto hope for the suc
cessful repeal of the postage law
which increases the ra'es on all third
class matter. This amendmen: has
been favorably reported to Congress
by the appropriate committee. The
Express Compauies are straining eve
ry nerve l defeat it, but we still see
whether Government exists for the
good of the people, or intends the
people shall exist for the good of mo
nopolies. The Compaaies in New York have
a large lobby in Washington, and are
spending and leudiag money widely
to influence the matter. Any Con
gressman who finds his expenses run
ning high with the enormous board
bills of tho capital, knows that ,Le
has no safer or surer place to apply
for a "temporary accommodation'
than to one of "the express lobby.
There never was a measure more di
rectly for the &ood of every voter
who" has ten dollars a year
to spend to please himself or his
family, than the law which sent
packages by mail for a cent an ouuee.
It brouz-ht bookd and half the facili
ties of the citv, for Retting better
goods and lower prices to the door of
the loneliest farmer in the north west,
living miles from any village, but vis
ited by the mail rider once a week.
The Express Companies have had
the field long enough to make gigan
tic fortunes for every one of- them,
but with their usual dog-in-the man
ger spirit, tbey don't want poor peo
ple to have their little parcels sent at
"the only rates they can afford to pay.
There will always be business enough
for the Express people in taking box
es, and articles too large for the mail,
but with unparalleled creed thev
even trr'idze the sending of books at
the reasonable and uabitual rates of
mail. The oppression of the new
postage law in operation the last
year has nearly killed the profits of
the largo newspapers, "some had in
creased their size by a column or two
ive their readers the benefit of
more reading, out me increaseu
weight of a half once doubled the
postage, and nearly ruined the pro
prietors. I know of one of the larg
est and most popular newspapers in
the country, whose increase of post
age by this infamous bill was $20,000,
and there are plenty more to tell a
,. . . t f j
similar story.
If any one labors under the delu
sion that the express companies need
the protection of high postage, let
them come to New York and see the
magnificent buildings tbey do busi
ness in, the palatial bouses they live
in, and the enormous salaries the of
ficials vote themselves. Let it be un
derstood that the profits of these
monopolies do not show in their state
ments. It was urged in washing-
ton that they were making only a
moderate profit on their capital, but
they did not explain that they were
using up their profits in $50,000 sala
ries, and that every stock holder
quartered on the company every rel
ative he had in the world.
SERVANT CIRLS.
In this citv it frequently happens
that servants sue their employers for
wages. It is a thing they are fond
of: if they have any small grudge to
pay off, they take the time when most
inconvenient to demand the money,
and if it is not forthcoming at once,
to enter suit for the sake of seeing a
delicate mistress obliged tog to a
hideous police court, among vagrants
and reprobates. The last case is that
of a millionaire who was sued by a
girl for her wages as a servant at his
house in the cos n try. He put in
the very just defence that she was un
der contract to stay a certain time,
but left before it was up; hence, he
refused to pay her. He would have
bad justice bad he rested bis defence
there, but he added a bill of the ex-
pease it cost to get the girl, including
fare to New York, and board for him

PlETRO.
Hew (! Well.
If "blessed is the man who invent
ed sleep," then blessed is he who
helps the wakeful to find it, especially
if his way is simple. This is a very
simple way to throw the watch off
his guard. I have tried it also with
success. The heavy sleeper will call
it a whim, but I have found wakeful
ness full of such whims. Mesmerism
teaches sensitives at least to le with
their heads to the north. That is
simply whimsical to those who do not
understand or believe in Reichen
bach's philosophy. Rut I persuaded
by experience, without any hypothe
sis, that it is the way for me. It is
the soothing way t agrees, as I
conceive, with the grain of the nerves,
or the "nap'' of the sensibilities. In
deed I would have every bedroom
arranged with reference to this rule,
believing it would tell on the temper
of the family. Rut if you have a
wakeful habit your enemy will find
yon out in any bed of routine, and
for a wakeful habit you will some
times find magical effect in the change
even a whimsical change. Change
your room, or move your bed, or turn
head to foot. If you are lying on a
high pillow, fling it away and let
your head down Cat. If lying wiih
yonr head low, raise it. If you have
been trying to sleep without a light,
strike one ; if otherwise, put it out.
Finally, quit the bed and take to a
chair. The bed may treat you better
after a little quarrel. Wakefulness
may be easily traced to physical caus
es in many instances, but often it is
of the nature of a spell; and when
we say a "wakeful spell," the phrase
is capable of a double sense. For
one thing I have convinced myself
tbatsltep does not depend on quiet.
I am nut always trying to hod a
still place. I am sure the wakeful can
get above petty disturbance. For
another thing, I do not worry as I
used to in view of not sleeping or
because I have not had my seven or
eight hours like other folks. I find
that half cf that time refreshes me if
I am thankful for it. It is the dis
content which comes with sleepless
ness that makes us sick more than
the loss of sleep. Then I find this
"don't care" feeliug a great provoca
tion of sleep. You save your life by
loaioar ia sach a case. Sleep is won
derfully susceptible to conquetry.
Tell it yoa can get along very well
w'thout it, and it isn't half so will

certed by some ono that every wo
man not born an English woman,
could she have had a choice in the
matter, would have chosen to be so
born. No creater error could be
made as regards the German woman.
She, taking her all round, is abso
lutely contented with her lot, and
supremely disregardful of the estate
of other women. The day of small
things not only suffices for her, but
is io her as a crown of glory; she dis
pises the frivolity of the French, the
freedom of the English, the fearless
strides n-nd absolute independence of
the American woman. Do not be
lieve that yon will be able to sit long
in the seat of the scornful; you will
have to come down and get out, for
towering high above you, on her pe
destal of home-baked virtues, and
looking down upon your ornamental
ness with the fear and dislike virtue
assumes in gazing upon vice, stands
the traditional Ujufrtn. That she
should have anything to learn of her
neighbors outside the h atherland is
impossible; there is only one country
in the world, and that is Germany;
there is only one woman, and that is
the German woman. In the face cf
such convictions as these, it would
be daring to hint at the state of mind
that has been characterized as a
mean position. The "coming" wo
man, as yet, casts no shadow across
the dead level of German home life.
The "platform woman" and the
"medical woman" are still only
known by evil report; beings that
cause the virtuous matron to draw
her imaginary skirt3 shuddericgly
around her ample form, and to pass
by, with mentally averted eyes, on
the other side.

The following little paragraph,
which a friend hands us, contains a
whole volume cf truth and sugges
tion, and if well studied and acted
upon would prevent much uuhappi
ness in this wjrld, and prove a most
effectual remedy for much that now
exists.
It is the easiest thing in the world
to be happy if men and women would
only thiuk. so. Ilappiuess is only
another name for love, and where
love exists in a household there hap
piness must also exist, even though
it has poverty for a close companion.
Where love exists not, even though
it be a palace, happiness can never
come. He was a cold and selfish be
ing who originated the saying that
"when poverty comes in at the door
love flies out at the window," and
his assertion proves conclusively that
be bad no knowledge of love; for
unquestionably the reverse of the
axiom quoted is nearer the truth.
When poverty comes in at the door,
love, true love, is more tban ever in
clined to tarry and do battje with the
enem v. Let those who imagine them
selves miserable, before they find
fault with the surroundings, search
m their own hearts for the true cause.
A few kind words or a little forbear

-Much is lost for want of attention
to wagon axles. They should be ex
amined at least once a week, if in
constant nse, and properly oiled.
Lard is not suitable, for it penetrates
through the hub and loosens the
spokes. We know of noting better
than castor oil, and a raneid article
which can be had at cheap rates at
the apothecary's is just as good for
this purpose as the best. A small
quantity applied opon the bearings of
the axle is just as good as to oil the
whole surface. If the oiling is neg
lected there is much friction, which
ban to be overcome by the increased
exertion of the team. The boxes and
axles both wear away more rapidly,
and there is soon need of a new
wheel and axle. A good wheel-jack
will greatly facilitate the oiling pro
cess. itb this implement one man
can oil the wheels of a lumber wag
on as rapidly as two without it.
Honey B.C. Creation of lb. Law.
It is not possible to escertain when
and by whom the precious metals
were first adopted as money ; but for
more tban three thousand years tbey
have been acknowledged as the
forms of material wealth best fitted
to be the measure and instrument of
exchange. Each nation and tribe, as
it has merged from barbarism, has
abandoned its local, non-exportable
medium, and adopted what is justly
called "the money of the world."
Coinage was a later device, em
ployed for the sole purpose of fash
ioning into a convenient shape the
metal to be used as nio ley, and of
ascertaining and certifying officially
the weight and fineness of each
piece.
And here has arisen the chief er
ror in reference to the nature of mon
ey. Recause the government coins
it, names its denomination, and de
clares its value, many have been led
to imagine that the government cre
ates it, that its value is a gift of the
law. Hon. Jas. A. Garfield.
