We are opposed to a representative to

Journal Editor is Washington County

Washington County when the Journal
agent was travcrsing this County in his ia.
vor, and when the Journal Editor told us
he should support him for'Congress.
Now we say. that it makes no differ ence
where man lives to us, but is it notgetting
out of a pretty small aperture for those
who are harping on the string that Wash
ington County is having the lions share, to
20 in fora man while he lives there and
then have him move into the County so as
to just clear the law. Better by half Mr..
Journal take the position that no matter
where a man lives. II saves heap Of
trouble and it is honest to the public. Blu,

MOONLIGHT % EXCuRsIoN.-Thc little
steamer Clarion. with party numbering
over four hundred. accompanied by the
Ellsworth Brass Band left her wharf on
Wednesday evening last in one of the heay-
lest showers OF the season. for an excursion
down the Bay. The run down the river
was not such as would be desired by a
pleasure party, although their spirits Were
not in the least dampencd by the falling rain.
After passing the narrows the steamer
stood in for Contention Cove, Snrry. and
while there the Moon broke forth in all
its splendor. and amid the mutterings of
the distant thunder, three hearty cheers
greeted her appearance. After spending
a short time at this place. listening to some
fine music from the band. and INDUCING in
= few fireworks, started for home. arriving
at the wharf about half-past ten.

GEN. LOGAN on RECoNsTRUCrIoN.-A

Gen. Logan said we extract n few notable
passages:

that treason must be made odious and trait
ors must he punished. and not only that,
but that they must be Impoverished. and
that their property must be distributed

he had . very sttange way of expressing
himself. That is all can say on that sub

tyation in this country belongs to loyal
men, and not to traitors, and while loyal
men are engaged in performing this work
and restoring this country, they must say
to these traitors ''t,entlemen. we intend to
confer these rights upon YOU whenever we
are minded to. 1t is not for you to say the
time when it shall be done. but it is for us
to say. 1t is i'm our hands, in our power.
