3Ju Jowl gJtpuMfoau. J. K. WENK, EDITOR. WKDNKSniT MORXING, FEB. 19, 1879. '..A i ".' - -- TO OUR PATRONS. In assuming charge of the Forest Kwublicax we recognize tho fact that wo have contracted a responsibil ity of no imall magnitude. However, having been connected with the insti tion, mechanically, from boyhood we understand pretty well what is needed, and we expect this experience to be of use to us in the future : our acqaatnt- nf5mn. sources of tho ablest exponent of r,r will, we think, be a crreat help to us. Bourbonism are not equal to the task salaries he maguanimously offered to vote for a reduction of his own salary to seven hundred dollars if the bal ance of the members would do the same thing. As the doctor is very rich he proposes to lighten the bur dens of the tax payer generously an J to make poorer members help him do it. Verily such a manifest regard for tho interests of the people ought to be encouraged. Our Washington Letter. Special to tho Republican. Washington, D. C, Feb. 13, 79.

The re- We promise neither particular excel lence nor great improvement in the management of the paper, yet shall do our utmost to sustain tho good repu tation which "has always characterized the Republican under Mr. Dunn's management, and will endeavor to steer as clear of all petty quarrels and of whitewashing out the black stains with which its late Presidential can didate is covered as with a garment. While the town was absorbed iu the developements before the Potter Bub committee which was reluctantly or dered ou its mission after every pre text had been exhausted for further personal grievances as did the late ed- postponing the examination of Tildeu itor. The paper, in the iuture as in the past, will be conducted in the in terests of the Republican party, and consequently m the best interest of the pablio. We hope to merit a con tinuance of the patrouage s liberally accorded to the paper in the past. and his lieutenant?, the assumed indif ference and unusual reticence of rep resentative Democrats challenged general remark because it was in such marked contrast with the interest they had manifested when Brady, Chandler and other Republicans were being Having reduced the subscription price quizzed touching their knowledge of of the Republican to one dollar and fifty cents per year, we expect to double its circulation in a short time. We do this, not because we think the paper will be worth that much less, but because we believe the stringency ox the times demands it. Mr. Dunn, the retiring editor, has, by Lis manly and straightforward course, and strict attention to his own business, made hosts of friends in this county who will be sorry to see him depart from their midst, and will always rejoice to hear of his success iu whatever business he may embark. May joy and prosperity attend him all through life, We shall continue the subscriptions of all those at present on our list, aud will shortly change the address tabs so as to start those not paid in advance from the first of January, 1879. Ad vance subscriptions will be filled out by us. With these few remarks we make our bow to our patrons, hoping that our acquaintance and business re! a tions may be both pleasant and profit able J. E. Wenk. The following extract from a Harrisburg correspondence to the Derrick shows that Mr. Wheeler is keeping his eyes open, and is not ouly watching the interests of Forest coun tv. but of matttri concerning the whole State as well : The reporters have been maliciously traducing the genial member from Elk county, Dr. Early, charging him with leading the corporation forces and always advocating the said cor poration interests against all comers We mention this to show how unjust publio opinion may often be in regard to eminent men. That the report is entirely without foundation, we have the evidence of the doctor himself, and if that is not conclusive we would like to know what would be. He made a little speech tho other night on the anti-discrimination resolution in which he said he supported corpora tion measures because they were right and not because he had any interest in them. That settles it. Now let no man dare wag bis tongue against the worthy doctor. But we fear he gets imposed upon sometimes. For in stauce he introduced a bill repealing 'section seven of the general tax law. When before the committee on- cor porations, to which it was referred, he 6tated that the bill was not bis, and that it referred to a little tax on somo email coal companies, which tax really comes out of the miners themselves aud produced very little revenne to the state. He got it reported, but Wheeler, of Forest, took the trouble to look it up and fouud it proposed to 1 the total corporation tax of the state, except the tax. on gross receipts, thereby reducing the sinking fnnA revenues verv materially. The innocent doctor will probably open his eyes wide with astonishment when bo finds out what the said act really nroDO&es i dj. He should be more ' t ireful in the future, or evil minded p-sous will fear he is not the honest upright man ha says he is. In the .Vaton a Tfdurticn of lg!lative cipher telegrams, a few days prior, aud their noisy exultation over what they gave out as a very damaging expose of Republican rascality. Without ex aggerating I may say that the position in which Tilden has left biniBelf is re garded as nothing less than pitiably contemptible. His explanations give the lie direct to the shrewd manage ment that has given him a reputatiou second to that of no man in the coun try as a roaster politican, saying noth ing of the endowments that enabled him to fleece railroads, mining com panies, and to successfully evade the retirements of the income tex law for years in succession. He would have us believe he was so idiotic as to leave Pelton in a position where be could irreparably damage his confiding uncle, and still further compromise the Democratic National Committtee after he (Tildeu) was fully informed of the criminal scheme that Pelton and others of the gang had set on foot to buy or steal a. Returning Board or an elector, ine mearest neophyte would resent such au imputation as this (statement is on his discernment. It is too heavy a tax on the credulity of the nost unso phiaticated. Tilden's allegations of corruption in the case of men that his agents were unable to bribe, without one scintilla of evidence to support it, must be and is regarded as to the last degree malicious. Mar ble's reputation as a spurious reformer bas been greatly enhanced by his con tributions before the committee. The mock-heroic style he affected and his air of injured innocence only made him appear more rodiculous among those whose good opinion is worth having. All in all Democrats have been forced to the conclusion that next to (ho carte blanche given marplot Glover, the Potter Committee is about the worst iti vestment they have yet made. This last bitter cup which they have been forced to drain has been calculated to confirm this view. It has a smack of retributive justice about it, when we remember the par tiean interests it was expected to sub serve ami which led to its formation The Senate Committee on appropri ations has voted $150,000 per annum to each line of steamihips, for a bi monthly mail service between this country and Brazil. One line is to run from New Yoik via Norfolk, the other from New Orleans via Galves ton, ibis is accord with the recom msudations of the Post Office Com mittee, and is a consummation fo which many of our most wide-awake business men have labored for months, with a view to opening up new mar kets for American products and tCe quickening of old cues. It is plain enough that if there ii a margin of profit ou goods sent to Brazil via Eugland, direct means of trausporta tion will considerably wide it. Aud there cau be no doubt that the perma oent establishment of transportation facilities directly w ith South American pom will enable our merchants to occupy vn8 markets thus opeued and supplant foreign competitors. The followiug amoug other points are gathered from the report of the U. B. Brrard of Engineers ou the IVl's jetties: No bar has or is likely to form at tho mouth of the jetties as predicted by opponents of the plan ; the work is permanent; when the work is complete a channel can proba bly be maintained 25 or 26 feet in depth, and that $350,000 will substan tially complete the work. With this favorable showing and the fact that a permanent channel sufficiently deep so there will be.no detention will save hundreds of thousands of dollars an nually to commerce, and give a cer tain outlet to the whole Mississippi valley an achievement of inestima ble value. End's requests that he be I paid a portion of the money due him does not appear unreasonable, espec ially as iu view of the extra expense imposed on him by the yellow fever outbreak. If Democrats stand to thoir caucus' dictum that U. S. supervisors of elec tions shall be abolished an extra sess ion must result for Republicans will resist to the bittir end. De Soto. Western Correspondence. Lone Rock, Richland Co., Wis., ) Feb.. 14, 1879. J Ed. Republican : It is with pleas- ure that I once more improve ine spaco allotted to me by pening a few pquibbs.for your paper. The winder so far, has been rather mild and pleas- aut, save about two weeks during the last of December, when ninrcury dropped to 30 below zerro. We have not had much snow this season, and for some time the ground has been bare, and farmers have suggested the idea of sowing grain soon. The acre age of winter wheat sown here the past fall was veiy large ard at pres ent it is lookiug fine. The great temperance crusade has at length reached us, and this great absorbing topic is causing conndera ble excitement, aud petitions are be ing handed iu from all parts of the state to our legislature, which is now in session, for the passage of a strict temperance law. It is thought that it will be submitted to a vote of the peo ple at the coming spring election. M ith honor we refer to our U. S. Senator elect, the Hon. Matt Carpen ter, who will once more be heard in the Untied States Senate, and with John A. Logan from 111., I think two abler men cannot be found. Let Southern traitors beware, for although partisan in principle, our Senators will ever be found advocating princi ples to the interest of the nation. Siuce we b beautifully defeated the soft money party in the west, times are improving. Our literary people enjoyed a treat tbe past week by listening to a lecture delivered by Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and in a few days we will enjoy the pleasure of entertaining and listening to a lecture given by Ann Eliza Younir. one of the consorts of the deceased Brigham Young. I uotice by the Republican that your Eastern Ground Hog came out and failed to see his shadow on the 2ud inst. Now ours had better suc cess, for be enjoyed a mild clear sun shine on the above date. .
