VVc owe our patrons, an apology for the
Issoinz of a half sheet this week, as well as
an explanation of the cause. C. V. Mc
Ketvy & co.of the Catawissa paper mill,
"by whjcb we have been supplied with pa-
pernor years, suspended, a fsw tlsys ago,
rmaking paper of the size required for the
"StibV -Immediately upon being informed
of lit, we 'went to Philadelphia and thye
'purcuastd a quantity of paper, sufficient to
last us some mouth.. It was shipped in
Mtma lo have been brought to us as early as
' Jnday or Saturday of ust week, but it has
not corns yet. - -
.For this reason we re compelled to do
taat whtcb we verymacb. regret, and which,
we believe has never been done by us, or
hose connected, with the Star formerly,
since the paper was established. We have
-barely ecoogh paper to Issue half sheet.
"Many interesting articles intended for this
nocAber, are of necessity, held over for next
week.
.A. moreenergetic, more rrlialle or more
industrious man than Jude Mcrctr, we do
iiot know. While on the Bench he made
reputation as wide as our broad State,
and he pose?es the elements that are ral.
culated to give him a national repu'ation in
congress, lata Uisirtct will yet see the
day when it nil) not only realize the wis
dom of its selection bm feel proud of its
tUeptesentative. . ,
We clip the above remarks from the Re
publican of the 23'.b ini-t. They were pub
lished immediately after the passage of the
in trie House ct Kspre-entativi, strike
ing out rhe word ' white'' in a.'l ordinances
and acts in force in the DiMrici of Cofum
ti for ukich Mcrci'r voted. Tne Rrpnbli
can is therefore in favor of regro suffrage.
But as to the remarks. . Is it true that Mcr
cra is reliable ? No.-' Mercur is fahe to-
.Tits r promises ana aecia;a:tonsv, tie was
elected under representations, by himself
and by b'ts friends-, and by tha Republican
r i i . - . . .
,Ttas at ui s aistrrci, mat ne was oppoea to
n2 ro . strffra'p. and vi h nn :rtr:U
for an act lo'tve utquaJified privileges ol
.voting. to the-negro; he votes to make the
negro the political equal of 'the, whia man.
The Rtpublitan says this h a representative
o "feel proud of!" And these are the
iwements'- which the Rrpullican approve-;,
add aj, "are caknleted lo give him a
national repu'attoo in Congress." A na
tional reputation ? We - think a' r.ero a
fcluck and foul reputation is the truth.
- Cr'dlet, the mulatto er lawyer of ihe
Hosion-bar, who was condemned lately by
a military court at Charleston, S C , to one
years :mrrisooment in ort Pulaski, tor in-
riling the slaves to insurrection and taking
possession of lands and property, has been
vsleased on parole by order of Boes Stantoc."
Although thousands of white mm Lave
suffered months and years in prison for no
or the ey of the ecretary of Wm, or by
ny rnaos to excite bis sympathies in their
tiehalf, aoi a single IwUt of wool in any
part of the Union can be put In jeopardy
without bis notice, and the interposition of
bis succoring offices. Tbst shows the ad
vantage of being orthodoxically colored.

'0h, isn't that Good I" said a lady on the
street, the other day, in our hearing. Our
attention beiog . attracted by so earnes: an
expression .we looked around, and we saw
a second lady holding her photograph,
which she said was taken a! Mr. Hkmp
tead's Nxw Gallery in Bloomsburg. It
was 'good ;' and we say, if you want a first
rale picture goto A. A. Hempstead, over
Hartman's store.
President Johssox says of the nesro
franchise question in the District of Col
umbia, that it is uncalled for, and calcula
ted to do great harm. He believes that it
will engender enmity, contention andjslrife
between the two race, and lead to a war
between them, which will result- in great
injury to both, and the certain extermination
ot the negro population.
,The Columbia Connty Republican sup
ports the couduct of Mercur in voting for
rregro Suffraae.
A 'qualified elector may hold office.
Mercur says the negroes shall be compe
tent to hold office.
