The Democracy in Congress are
polling oat rope quit fist. Let them
mo.
I'K'iPLE in Vienna, Austria, have
beeo shocked by tbe shock of an earth
quake. 8oetor Cockling and Senator I!ay
ard are io dispute at to what tbe Utter

Tbe groom bas graod-ebildreo married.
The Georgia Electoral College met
no the 9lb iust., and cast the vote of
the State. If tbe Republicans bad
done each a thing tbe Democracy would
make a fan about it.
"Alexander Stephens weighs eigh
ty nine pounds and has the dyspep
sia so bad he can't eat anything. The
old man says one of tlie.se days hell
starve to death."
Col. A. Wilson Norms has been
nominated by the Republicans of the
6th District in Philadelphia, to serve
out the unexpired term of the late
WiMaru ISIliott 'I be Colonel will
maX.0 an able Senator.
UK tbe ath inst., ninety-one suits
were before tbe Pittsburg eoort, for
loses by tbe riots in 1877. Tbe bills
above mentioned foot up $32,000. The
holders are auiong those who would not
compromise at d per cent. There are
atill other claim amounting to $40,-
000.
Men who favor tbe division of tbe
State into two States are at work advo
cating suob a division. It would be a
first-rate thing for the office-seeking
people. It would create another gov
ernor, and foil government machinery,
another Sopreme Court, aod all such
official luxuries as that. What say tbe
people.
An exchange says: Tbe only de
faulter under President Hayes admin-
istration is Marshal FitzsimmoDs, of
Georgia, a rebel Democrat who was ap
pointed to tbe interest of conciliation.
His defalcation probably accounts for
the loss of the eight mills oo one thou
sand dollars of tbe revenue suffered
by tbe Government during tbe present
Administration.
Ax exchange writes: After January
15th next there will be twenty Repub
licans in occupancy ol Governor's chairs
io the country, with eighteen Demo
crats and Fusionists io the same felici
tous position. Of the twenty-two
Northern States, all bo; three are con.
trolled by Republican Governors. These
three are Maine, with a Fusiouiat, and
New Jersey and Oregon. Of the six
teen Southern Governers, all but tbe
one for Tennessee are Democratic.
The Democracy in Congress have
obstructed the business, because they
s art to pass an act that will give that
body toe power to go back of the re
turns of the electoral colleges of the
respective States. Tbey want to claim
as precedents the acts of Congress
during the days of the reconstruction
f the South; but that will not do,
any more than it will do for an officer
of the law to arrest a peaceable citi
zeu, on the plea of precedent, from
the right to arrest disorderly people
under criminal laws.
An exchange says : '-To those Dem
ocrats who, by reason of failure to ex
amine the election returns of New York,
and who consequently have a lingering
belief that (jar he Id carried that State
by cMonixatiou, we desire to say that
the official return shows that tbe vote
for Gen. Uaooock io that State was less
tbau tbe vote for Mr. Tilden io thirty
three counties, by 9,256, which proves
that io mire than half the counties of
tbe State the Republicans gined votes
from tbe Democrats, or rather reoover
ed voters who supported Tildeo aod re
form wban bard times were pressing

Some months ago an aged member
of the German Reformed congrega
tion that worships in Rullman church,
not fur from Reading, Berks county,
died. For some reason, best known
to tlieuiRclveR, the family concluded
not to have Rev. Mr. Opplu, pastor of
the deceased, to preach the funeral
sermon. They requested another
1 Teacher to officiate at the funeral
tmd preach the sermon. Rev. Mr.
Opple sent word to preachers with
out the bounds of his ecclesiastical
ilistriet not to enter his parish, or
charge, to preach funeral or other
t ermons ; and that is how it comes
tbnt now the century-old congrega
tion of Bellman Church is in a state
of the bitterest confusion. The
preacher, in teaching his people the
rules of h;s church on the question
tA one preacher going into the dis
trict of another without the consent
f the resident pastor, has disrupted
t he flock, and sown seeds that will
bear fruit in the years to come.
A singular ana unexplained feature
in the divorce business is thus related
by dispatch from Chicago, under date
of tbe lOtb inat. : A curious case of
tuaband and wife being parties to
divorce euit without tbeir knowledge
eauie to light bole last night, involving
persons of some prominence. The bos
baud is John F. Burrill, a prominent
Mason, who now is and lor the last ten
years bas been, Grand Secretary of tbe
Grand Lodge of Masons of Illinois
Mrs. liurnll, wbo retorned from tbe
Kait yesterday, brought with ber pa
pers showing that ber husband had iu
tituted proceedings for a divorce in
September last, upon which a divoroe
was granted oa ber default in Novem
ber. She exhibited the documents to
Mayor Harrison and other well-known
Masons. Mr. Burrill was in Spring
6eld, and when tbe matter was brought
to Lis notice be denied having ever in
stituted any proceedings for a divorce
and said be did not koow anything
boot it, . He immediately took tbe
train for Ctjoaga to investigate the matter.
Sjnonsis of the Message of Presi
dent Hayes to Congress.
The message opens with the ac
knowledgment of the Divine bles
sings in material prosperity.
2. A high compliment is paid to
the flexibility of the elective system
of the Republic, which provides for
the succession of chief rulers, and
other officers, and the cheerfulness io
tbe acquiescence of the whole people
is considered a most hopeful omen of
perpetuation.
3. A full and free exercise of the
ballot is not yet willingly given to the
colored man in many places, and the
fraudulent acts to prevent a full ex
pression of the new citizen is re
ferred to.
4. It is earnestly desired that sec
tionalism should disappear ; no one
section fchould be arrayed against the
other.
6. Congress should see to it that
the letter and spirit of the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution be
fully carried out
6. Education is one of the safe
guards of the Republic. Congress
should assist the States wherever
necessary, by grants of public lands
for educational purposes.
7. The dangers of patronage in
matters of appointments threaten the
stability of government An appro
priation of $25,000 is recommended
to meet the expenses of a commis
sion to be appointed by the Presi
dent, under existing law, to devise a
system of competitive examination of
Civil Sen-ice. It is also recotuniend-
' ed that Congress pass an act with re
! spect to appointment to office by the
President
8. It is the duty of the people to
suppress polygamy. The sanctity of
marriage and the family relation are
the corner-stones of American soci
ety. Separation of church and state
are elementary ideas of free institu
tions. Polygamy, Monnonism is op
posed to them all. It is recommend
ed that Congress which has ample
jwwer over the territories, confer the
right to ''vote, hold office and sit on
juries" to only such as are not prac
tical polrgamists, or advocates of that
system. Such measures, if adopted,
in a few years will remedy the eviL
9. Our relations with foreign coun
tries are peaceable.
10. The fishing question between
this government and Great Britian is
not yet adjusted.
11. An appropriation is asked for
a system of weights and measures
that will correspond with the system
adopted by the governments of the
old world.
12. The attention of Spain has been
called to the outrages of her ships of
war in firing on American merchant
men. Other Spanish questions are
referred to.
13. The new treaty with China was
signed on the 1 7th of November. It
relates to immigration and commerce.
It will be laid before the Senate early
in January. Japanese relations are
mentioned.
14. The peaceful Mexican border
question has resulted in a modifica
tion of military orders that had been
issued to the officers of the army
along the border. Important rail
road communication with Mexico is
referred to.
15. The governmental relationship
of Central and South America is men
tioned as being mutually advanta
geous, it is the duty ol this govern
ment to assert controlling authority
over any and all inter-oceanic canal
prospects that may be developed in
the countries lust mentioned.
16. Egypt and the Obelisk in New
. j
Tork are mentioned.
17. The world's sanitary confer
ence to meet in Washington in Janu
ary, to adopt measures to prevent if
possible the spread of infectious dis
eases or epedemic diseases is men
tioned and an appropriation for its
benfit is asked.
18. The efforts of the Department
of State to enlarge the trade and
commerce of the country through
the agency of consular officers, is
commended, and the publication of
consular reports are believed to be
highly beneficial, and such a system
ia highly approved of, and Congress
is asked for an appropriation to en
large the system.
19. The immense productions of
the United States invite the develop
ment of commercial relations with
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of
South America, with the West Indies
and the Gulf of Mexico, which should
be carried on in our ships, and so
with the trade with China and Japan
and Australia. The especial atten
tion of Congress is directed to these
trade-growing impulses. The aid
that Great Britian gives to such en
terprises is pointed to. The influ
ence of telegraphic communication
with Japan is considered of impor
tance.
20.. The enlargement of the Navy
to correspond with the expansion of
tbe commerce of the country is con
sidered of great importance.
21. The condition of the finance is
satisfactory.

"The debt of the United States, less
cash in the Treasury and exclusive of
accruing interest, attained its maxi
mum of $2,7o6, 431,571. 43 in August,
1865, and has since that time been
reduced to $1,886,019,504.65. Of
the principal of the debt, $108,758,-
100 has been paid since March 1, 1877,
affecting an annual saving of inter
est of 6,107,593. The burden of
interest has also been diminished by
the sale of bonds bearing a low rate
of interest and the application of tbe
proceeds to the redemption of bonds
bearing a higher rate. The annual
saving thus secured since March 1,
1877, is 514,290,453.50. Within a
short period over six hundred mil
lions of five and six per cent bonds
will become redeemable. This pre
sent a a very favorable fw?rtunit-
not only to further reduce the prin
cipal of the debt, but also to reduce
the rate of interest on that which will
remain unpaid. I call the attention
of Congress to the views expressed
on this subject by the Secretary of
ine .treasury in bis annual report, and
recommend prompt legislation, to
enable the Treasury Department to
complete the refunding of the debt
which is about to mature.
"The continuance of specie pay
ments has not been interrupted or
endangered since the date of resump
tion. It has contributed greatly to
the revival of business and to our re
markable prosperity. The fears that
preceded and accompanied resump
tion have proved groundless.
"There are still in existence, un
cancelled, $346,681,016 of United
States legal-tender notes. These
notes were authorized as a war mea
sure, made necessary by the exigen
cies of the conflict in which the United
States was then engaged. The pres
ervation of the Nation's existence re
quired, in the judgment of Congress,
an issue of legal-tender paper money.
That it served well the purpose for
which it was created is not question
ed, but tbe employment of the notes
as paper money indefinitely, after the
accomplishment of the object for
which they were provided, was not
contemplated by the framers of the
law under which they were issued."
21. The appropriations for the
War Department are limited so as to
provide for the enlistment of 25,000
ment The railroad system in the
West has rendered a change of mili
tary post system necessary. The or
ganizing, arming and disciplining of
the active militia is necessary, to
which the attention of Congress is
directed. There are 78 schools now
in operation in the army.
22. "Attention is asked to the re
port of the Chief of Engineers upon
the condition of our National de
fenses." 23. The matter of the improve
ment of rivers and harbors is men
tioned. 24- The erection of new buildings
for the War Department is recom
mended. 25. "An act of Congress authoriz
ing the appointment of a Captain Geo
eral of the Army, with suitablo pro
visions relating to compensation, re
tirement and other details, would be
altogether fitting and proper.
26. It is earnestly desired that some
form of eivil government be disposed
of for the people of Alaska. j
27. Coaling stations as established
in Central America by tbe Secretary ol
tbe Aavy are mentioned, and are ap
proved of, and tbe attention of Con
gress is directed thereto.
23. Tbe report of tbe Post Master
General is reviewed.
29. Tbe report of tbe Attorney Gen
eral and the report of tbe Secretary of
tbe Interior are reviewed.
30 Tbe report of tbe Director of
Geology, Tbe Commissioner of Agri
culture. The Commissioner of Educa
tion are all reviewed
31. Tbe general interests of tbe Dis
trict of Columbia are commended to
the favorable consideration of Congress,
and with that commendation tbe mes
sage closes. It is a nieeaage of length
aod merit.

Tbe question is a very pertinent one,

treme penalty of the law, confessing
tbat tbey owe their condemnation to

by which meo will be protected from
