from a distance. B. S. Doty, of this place,

THE room in tbe Presbyterian church
io which regular services are held, was
taxed to its utmost capacitj, on Christ
mas evening, which was made the 66ct
sioo for the Sabbath-School review, and
for tbe reading of reports relative to
the school, as well as for the lighting of
a Christmas tree, and for the distribu
tion of gifts with which it was decora
ted. It was a Chriftinas anniversary,
and ribt joyously did all enter into
tbe work.
The school examination embraced
the lessons of the past year, and when
tbe examination, wh.ch was conducted
by Superintendent Dr. T. A. Elder,
was oonolnded, the candy gifts, which
were piled np at the front of tbe pul
pit platform) or bnng iu bags that were
made of mosquito-bar materia! through
which the good things could be sceD,
were taken down and distributed to tbe

regard had been distributed, . D.
I'arker was asked to deliver a speech,
which was most appropriately done.
Mr. Parker stood on the floor in front
of the pulpit, and in substance be said :
There is no need to speak of tbe
pleasant and instructive review, or of

of kings, and born rulers are always
celebtated with great demonstration.
Tbe bugles sound, the drums beat, and
Cannon roar, and great and showy pa

and We all can never forget bow tbe

Upon tbe conclusion of Mr. Parker's

f On th evening of December 19, 1877,
Mr. Samuel Wharton, residing in Spruce
Hill township, was from home. His son
was also away from home. About 7 o chick '
in tbe evening tbe attention of Mrs. Whar
ton, tbe son's wife, mas attracted by the
furious barking of their dog in the direction
of the barn. She looked out of the house
toward tbe barn, and to her horror saw
flames of Ore darting out of the front of the
barn, at the straw-stack. Heroine-like she
was not paralysed, but rose with the crisis,
regardless of danger, ran out into the burn
tug barn and unchained al! of the cows but
one, which burned. Mrs. Wharton was
considerably burned while untying the cat
tle. Preaching was to have been held that
evening in a school house near by. Tbe
alarm of fire soon reached the school house,
from which the citizens ran to save such
property as could be snatched from the
flames. The horses, six in number, were
saved. Four fat steers, a bull, and the cow
mentioned above, constituted the loss of
live stock. About 400 bushels of grain,
and the crop of hay, as well as most of the
farming implements, including a new grain
reaper, were burned with the bar a. Loss
not less than $3,000. The insurance on the
property amounts to about SlJECi,

There Were Two Bargain.

A despatch from Washington, D. C, un
der date of last Wednesday, December 24,
says: Hon. W. E. Chandler, the New
Hampshire member of the Republican Na
tional Committee, addressed an open letter
to the Republicans of New Hampshire, in
which he makes a number of explicit and
interesting stateuieuts concerning alleged
bargain made during the Electoral count
and their alleged fulfilment by the adoption
and pursuance of the President's " South
ern Policy." After referring to the decla
rations ol the Cincinnati convention and of
Gov. Haves' letter of acceptance in regard
to the protection of southern citizens in the
free enjoyment of all their rights, Mr. Chan
dler asserts that the Republican party, by
the advice and procurement of Gov. Hyes,
public men to put forward as our best argu
ment the dangers of rebel rule aud a solid
south." In this connection be quotes sev
eral expressions from Gov. Hayes' letter of
November 8, le7S, when the Utter thought
himself defeated, aud said : " I do not care
for myself; but I do care
for the poor colored men of the south
Northern men caunot live there
and will leave The southern peo
ple will practically treat the constitutional
amendments as nullities, and then tbe col
ored man's fate will be Worse than when he
was in slavery. That is tho only
reason I regret that the news is as it is."
Mr. C haulier then proceeds to state that
Gov. Hayes not only pledged himself to
protect to the full extent of the Federal
power, lite, suffrage and political rights iu
Ibe south, but was counted in as President
, . ,,,. , . . ... . . .

Senator Sherman and other Ohio emissaries,
who particularly and emphatically promised
that he would recognize slid maintain the
lawful State governments of South Caro
lina aud Louisiana, aud stand by Governors
Chamberlain and Packaid.
Mr. Chandler amplifies these statements
at considerable length, and proceeds to make
charges as follows :
Wisdom and honor, therefore, it seems to
me, clearly required that F resident Hayes
should maintain his own rightfulness ot
,mt kUn1 nicn and puncipica of
bis parly. Had be done so, in my belief,
the Democratic cry ot fraud would have
been the merest loily, the Republican party
would have remained dominant iu every
northern State aud in several southern
States, and would have swept tbe country
in the recent fall elections. Instead ot all
this what do we see 1 Almost the first act
of the new Administration was to fulfill a
bargain that had been made during tbe Pres.
idential count by which, if Hayes should be
President, tbe lawful governments of Loui
siana and South Carolina were to be aban-
doned, and the mob governments iu those
States were to be recognized aud establish
ed. Certain Democrats in I ho House ot
Representatives, seeing that by the recur
ring decisions of the Electoral Commission
and the regular proceeding of the two
Houses under the Electoral bill which they
bad warn.lj supported Hayes would surely
be President, had conceived the plan of
saving something (lorn the wrecki They
bad, threatened by dilatory motions and
riotous proceedings to break up the count,
and then opened negotiations with such
timid or too eagdrly expectant Republicans
as they could bud ready. They had suc
ceeded beyond their most kanguiue
talious. Senator bermau had visited UhlO,

James A. liartieid, and on the other L. Q.
C. Lamar, John B. Gordon, E. J. Ellis,
Randall Gibson, E. A. Burke, and John V.
Brown had agreed, first, that the count
should not be broken up iu the House, but
that Hayes should be declared aud inaugu
rated President; aud second, that upon
Hayes accession the troops should be with
i"1"11 fr"m protecting Governors Chaitber-
' "Me Hampton in bouth Carolina and
By certain general and indefinite letters,
siuce given to tbe public by a secret writing
now in the hands of E. A. Burke, and in
other ways the agreement was authenticated,
aud President Grant was immediately re
quested by Gov. Hayes' counsel on no ac
count to recognize Packard or Chauiber
laiu, but to leave the ultimate decision as
to their fate to the incoming President.
After the inauguration tbe bargain was
speedily fulfilled. As soon as the electoral
vote of their States was sate, Governors
Packard and Chamberlain bad been notified
b Messrs. Matthews aud Evarta to get out.
Gov. Chamberlain was now summoned to
Washington aud informed that he must sur
render. He protested sgainst his taking off.
The President hesitated, but Wade Hamp
ton demanded tbe performance of the bar
gain. Mr. Matthews was Sent for, came
from Ohio, and within twenty-four hours
the United States flag was ordered down in
Charleston and Gov. Chamberlain stamped
out. As to Louisiana, tbe fulfilment pro
ceeded wore slowly, but none the less sure
ly. Packard had made (March 21) a con
stitutional call for Federal aid, which it was
difficult to withhold from one as surely Gov
ernor as Uayes was President, and yet there
was the bargain. Asa subterfuge an un
constitutional Commission, consisting of
Messrs. John M. Harlan, Joseph R. Hawley.
C. B. Lawrence, Wayne McVeagh and John
C. Brown, was sent to Kew Orlems, and
instructeJ to gradually destroy the Pack
ard Legislature by seducing or forcing its
members into the Nicbolls Legislature. But
they proved too stubbornly Republican,
and the Commission telegraphed the Presi
dent that nothing would destroy Packard
but the actual order to withdraw the troops.
At tbe word the President gave the order.
Packard was crushed, and the Commission
returned triumphantly to Washington to be
recognized ; one of them (Gen. Harlan) by
an appointment as Supreme Court Judge
another (Mr. Lawrence) by the release of
Jake Rehm, the great whisky conspirator
and defran -lej of the revenue at Chicago.
Gen. Hawley was offered the appointment
as Chief Commissioner to the Paris Exhi
bition, but declined because the salary was
to be only $5000, aud three offices were
tendered to Mr. MacVeagb, but declined on
the ground that his signal services demand
ed a more ample recognition- Tbe English
mission was next assigned blm, but cir
culrttattces have made Iu delivery inexpe
dient or impossible. One other hope re
mained to Governor Packard. He had a
bwful court of justice, and might appeal to
tbat ; but there were two vacancies and it
required all three of the Judges Ludeling,
Leonard and John E. King to make a
quorum. Judge King was immediately ap
pointed Collector of New Orleans, Packard's
court was struck down, and the Nicholls
mob goverment reigned supreme. The
bargain Was in every way fulfilled, and Mr.
Burke hail no occasion, as had been threat
ened, to make public the secret agreement.
Hayes had been made President by the fidel
ity and courage of Packard and Chamber
lain and their devoted loUowera, and his
Administration had trampled them dvwn.
In further pursuance of the bargain made
with the southern Democrats the new Ad
ministration hts adopted a so-called south
ern policy; first, entirely coutrary to the
announced principles of the Republic tn
party ; second which has been carried out
by the abandonment of all Federal inten
tion aud effort to protect life, property or
suffrage at the South, or to enforce the con
stitutional amendments ; aud third has re
sulted in the enforced dissolution of the
Republican party at the south, and its de
moralization, division, aud detent at tbe
north.
The letter is thenceforward mainly devot
ed to a recapitulation of President Hayes'
acts and utterances in the line of the so
called southern policy. Mr Chandler says
among other things: As the policy of the
Democratic party was to lie cairied out at
tbe south a southern Confederate General,
Mr-. D. M. Key, a Democrat, wko had op
posed Have's election, tnd in the Senate
denounced his title as fraudulent, was ap-
i pointed Posuiaster General aud commenced
the distribution of the southern post-otlices
j to reliel Democrats. The negro murderers
of Hamburg and Ellenton had been indict
ed iu the Federal courtt of South Carolina,
but the great and good Hamptop appealed
lor their release, aud it was accorded by
the President in a letter of May 12, grant
ing general amnesty to negro murderers as
'political (.-(Tenders." To make irumuuitv
more Certain, the poller or appointing ss
District Attorneys aud Marshals men agree
1 able to the white people of the south that
! is, Democrats was determined upon. The
appointment of Notthrop as a District At
torney for South Carolina and Waldron as
Marshal for Tennessee are referred to, and
j extended comment is made on tbat of Fits
simuions as Marshal ot Georgia '-in place of
! Smvthe. a competent and honest Kepub'i-
Ican, which was contimed by the Democrat
ic Senators votes an., the vote of Stanley
Mathews alone.'' Senator Uordon'a letter
to W. A. Huff, on tl.is, is also reviewed at
! length. Mr. Chandler in the concluding
' portion of his address uses the following
j language:
In view of these UmcntaMe facts, it is
' the duty of true Republicans to take prompt
and courageous action. S iience is a crime ;
acquiescence and inaction are political
death. Can the Republican patty, ol heroic
achievements, be boind to an Administra
tion which is not a fiee agent, but is bound
by a bargain to General Gordon, L. Q. C.
Lamar, Wade Hampon ami other southern
Democrats, now in bgh otlice,ouly through
ihe blood of murder d Re publicans. Does
not every voter iu tie laud kuow that Hayes
aud Packard were ejeted simultaneously,
and held by the sane title, and that wheu
Hayes abandoned a:d trampled down Pack
ard he put an irretaovahle stain upon his
own title? The Kef ublican party has lived
long, and survived aiany assaults and many
treason!-, only lccac.se it has been a party
founded upon high principals, animated by
lofty sentiments, courageously acting up to
noble convictions. It it now disgraces its
record aud endorses or tails to repudiate
the Hayes surrender, its voters will leave it
by thousands, its days are numbered, and
it will die a de'serred and an unbonored
death."

People are getting back to an old stand
point on the question of drunkenbess. They
are dropping the mistaken sympathy for the
drunkard, and declaring that to get drunk is
a disgrace, and tbe fellow Who disgraces
himself and the community in which he
lives by getting drunk and appearing in that
condition shall be punished by act of As
sembly, which imposes a fine of 91 00 npon
every one found drunk on the streets. Offi
cers of the Peace may take drunken people
before a Justice of the Peace, and have the
fine imposed, and if the party docs not pay
the fine he may be sent to jail. Tbat is
going to an old standpoint and making the
drunkard resousible for bis acts.

man who thinks, it is full of meaning. Tbe
pledge means total abstinence, exci pt in
case of real need for medical purposes, and
the "good by to miuce pies " doubtless
meant that the use of liquor in pies is not
necessary, and must be abstained from, to
be consistent with the pledge. The incon
sistencies, little inconsistencies, that stand
in relationship to the prtnaplt of consist
ency as near as great inconsistencies, are
the things tbat often make men skoptic.il,
and prove great stumbling-blocks. There
was a sermon in the expression of "Good
by to minre pies," and those who failed to
j see it, have not the finely-balanced discrim
! ination of the colored man.
