THE MILLERsBURGH BAND.-This cele-
brated band was the admired of all admi-
rers at the Republican Festival on Tuesday
last. The members of the band have won
the esteem of our citizens by their gentle
manly department, and their music is pro-
nounced by the best judges Of Wooster to
be superior to that of any Band that has
visited our town. Their execution and
harmony could scarcely be excelled. They
played in the evening, on the balcony Of
the Arcadome to the qualification Of admi-
ring hundreds. The "Star Spangled Ban
ner," )" and "Hda ColumJia," were among
the national airs admired by all, but the. fa
nous "ANvIL Chorus" from Verdis cel-
cbrated opera of al Trovatore," was exc.
cuted with so much skill as to call forth
repeated cheers and bursts of applause from
the audience. Long may the Mllersburg
Band flourish. We cordially recommend
this band to the music loving public

WASHINGTON. Feb. %.


HoUsE.-Mr. Reagan, of Texas, made ,
personal explanation relative to dialogue
between himself and Mr. Bryan, his col
league, involving an accusation of veracity
After the colloquy had been continued
some time this morning, Mr.. Reagan asked
whether Mr.. Ryan intended to impute dis.
honorable motives to him. If so they
would know where they stand.
Mr.. Bryan, in reply, said, among other
things, if his colleague was agrieved he
knew where he could right the wrong; he
should not shelter himself under any con-
stitutional provision of his State.
He was responsible here and elsewhere
for what be said
Mr.. Reagan charged his colleague with
having sought to place him in. the light Of
not being good Southern man. But he
(Reagan) had always professed to be Ma.
tional man, repudiating all sectional here
sizes and fanaticisms, whether coming from
the north or south. He would even resist
all violation of the moral or statue law to
build up sectional or political parties. He
had once gone through the ordeal and was
ready again to meet the people of Texas
on this issue.
There was much excitement during this
colloquy.
The House took up the navy app'n bill,
and concurrsd in Mr.. Sherman's amend.
ment reducing the app'n for repairs, arma.
ment, equipment, fuel and hemp, from $3,-
100000 to 81 100000 by avote of l22

of 81, 1000 for the 10 na-

Eg President Buchanan has vetoed the
bill granting land TO the several States to
aid them in the establishment of Colleges
for the promotion of Agriculture, and the
Mechanical arts. This is really the only
bill passed by the present Congress of any
benefit to the country. The president
makes the bankrupt condition of the Ma
tional Treasury the reason for vetoiDg this
bill; and yet he is moving with might and
main to have congress vote him thirty mil
lions of dollars with which to pave the way
for the purchase of Cuba, at a cost of two
or three hundred millions more.

sEThe Senate of the United Sta

EgThe Senate of the United States
has passed bill raising the rates of letter
postage TO cents for all distances under
5000 miles, and 10 cents for all distances
over that. Newspaper postage is changed
to one cent per copy, if carried out of the
county where published.
The present rates of newspaper postage
is killing off the "country papers" by bring
ing the large, cheap Eastern papers in di-
rect competition with them; and we hope
that some such rates as the above, or high
cr, will be charged on them, so as to COM
pei them to depend upon their home circu-
lation for support. As to the present rates
of letter postage, there is neither sense nor
justice in making man pay as much on a
letter that is conveyed but three miles as for
one that is conveyed three thousand
There should be discrimination as to dis
