TO THE LADIES.

We are gratified to know that the Pioneer is q
great favorite with the fair sex, while the hus-
bands and fathers cheerfully foot the bills. II
is no uncommon thing to have an old patron
come in the office and say something like this
did think would get along without the Pio-
neer, but my wife and daughters gave me nc
peace until came to order it sent again; they
think they must have it, and feel somewhat
at a loss myself without it. l guess you had
better send it on and Twill pay in advance now,
as like that plan best-then l know whose
paper am reading, and it is much easier than
to pay large bill which has been accumulat-
ing for years. We are just reminded of a
case which occurred this year, in which the
lady got the start Of her husband. 1t appears
that he concluded not to take the paper last
wear and had it discontinued. His wife, who
wanted the paper, paid for it year without
his knowledge, and had it sent in his name.
1t was mystery who could be SO kind as to
send the paper whole year for nothing. At
the proper time and in the right manner his
wife informed him who it was that paid for his
paper, and that she would like to borrow about
two dollars of him, which, of course, he loaned,
as the security was all he could ask. We
would not advise all the ladies to do likewise,
but we have no objection to their persuading
their husbands and fathers to take the Pioneer,
which contains notning to onend rne MOI re-
fined taste, and many things which may be
read with interest and profit by all.

RAILROAD TO PORT NORRIS.

This, at first thought, may seem like a vis-
ionary project, but other things quite as i'm
practicable in appearance have become paying
institutions. The inhabitants along the pro-
posed route are very favorable to the enter
prise and are willing to put their hands in their
pockets and give it their encouragement. Pub
lie meetings have lately, we understand, been
held at Port Norris, Dividing Greek, Newport
and Cedarvilie, and committees appointed to
see what can be done. A railroad to Port
Norris, passing near Fairton, Cedarville, New
port and Dividing Creek would carry large
number of passengers and an amount of freight
beyond the conception of most persons. The
present amount Of travel in that section would
be multiplied, were the facilities and conven-
fences of railroad enjoyed by the inhabit-
ants. The tons Of ofoysters that would pass over
the road would be no small item Of revenue,
and the fertility of the soil in Fairfield, Downe
and Maurice River townships would be greatly
increased. The enhanced value of property
continuation or branch to the West Jersey
road, it would be of great value. The great
disadvantage that would arise from itwould be
the loss of travel to the stages now running
through that section. AS an offset to this,
the company should give the stagemen good
positions on the road, which would pay as well,
aud be much less exposing than to ride sixteen
or eighteen miles in stage in all kinds OF
weather.

New JERSEY AND NEW YoRK-TRBATY Re-
vIsIoN.-A Resolution now before the Legisla-
ture of New Jersey, proposes an amicable ar
rangement of many border difficulties which
now exist in this county by reason of its proxi-
nifty to New York. The resolution can be
made to comprehend vast interests to the coun-
ties Of East Jersey. Bergen, Passaio, Morris,
Essex, Union, Somerset, Middlesex and Hud-
son counties should act as one. harmonious
whole in sustaining Mr.. Lathrops resolution
of the 10th inst, which came up for consider
alton on Wednesday. 1t proposes to appoint
committee from New Jersey to meet o COM
mittee Of the Legislature of New York, to agree
upon mutual relations of vast interest to the
people and property in both States, and par
ticularly to the counties above mentioned
This joint commission, similar to the one which
made the Treaty Of 1888, should settle many
of the questions and difficulties which cause
so much annoyance and litigation, and impede
tho prosperity Of our people. Our future pros
perity depends much upon wise arrangement
under a new treaty, which may dispose Of these
difficulties, and prevent hssty, arbitrary and
vindictive legislation yearly id both States, to
the injury Of oil and the benefit of none. .-Jer-

The Manufacture Of Glassware.

South Jersey is noted for its numerous
glass-houses and the superior quality Of glass
manufactured. The proprietors are generally
men of enterprise, superior business qualifica-
tons, and having command of large amount
of capital, combination of qualities which
would command success in any undertaking.
1t is not our intention to refer to the differ
ences in opinion, lately existing between the
workmen and the employers, as to the amount
of wages to be paid. That has been settled
and the work is going ON harmoniously. We
would, however, express the opinion that the
time is coming when the employers will be
compelled to manufacture glass at . less figure
or shut up their establishments. When that
time comes, would it not be wise for the work
men to consider their best interests and work
the employers to givei The labor of glass
blowers is certainly not very light, and should
be well remunerated and as long as high
prices prevail and there is an extensive de-
mand for the manufactured article, the pres
ent price of labor will no doubt prevail. But
the point we wish to come at is this: Is it
better to close the glass establishments when
prices and demand decrease, and leave capital
and labor both suffer, or to work for such
wages as the times compel? We suggest these
thoughts for the consideration Of those inter-
ested, as we have no earthly interest in the
matter except we desire the welfare of both
employer and employed. Glass factories are
multiplying in this part of the State, and we
wish them all abundant success, but if any
parties wish to invest in this kind of business
we can refer them to several Of the largest and
most prosperous establishments in this part
of the State, which can be purchased ON the
following terms, viz: The owners will select
one disinterested man, the purchaser can se-
lect another, and these two third, who shall
have full power to fix the value Of the estab-
lishment and all its contents, and after deduct
ing ten per cent. from whatever valuation they
fix upon, the owners will pledge themselves
not to ask one dollar on the payment, for ten
years, providing reliable security is given them.
This is certainly better than can be done in
building new glass-hoases, or any other kind
that we know Of XII

Death-bed Marriage.

In Newark, recently, a wedding Of such
peculiar and solemn character was cele-
brated, as to make it worthy Of notice.
A young man, who was betrothed to a
lady of the city, returned from the army,
enfeebled by disease contracted in the
service. He sank rapidly after his return,
and when it became evident that his end
was not far distant, the lady herself asked
that the union might not longer be de-
layed, as she wished the privilege Of being
his wife for the few days that he remained
upon the earth. Under these circum-
stances the marriage was consummated,
and the lady is probably by this time a
widow, with the mournful satisfaction of
bearing the name Of one of the best and
bravest defenders of the Union.

sLEIaHING.

The mildness of our climate does not afford
much good sleighing compared with that Of
the New England States. The snow which
commenced falling on Monday evening last,
afforded several days of goods leighing, which
was enjoyed by many of the citizens of this
city and county. The young folks, especially,
seemed to have merry time it. The streets
of Bridgeton were alive with the merry jingle
of bells. The surrounding villages were visited
and our country friends returned the compli-
ment by visiting Bridgeton in their comfortable
sieighs. Some, of course, were capsised, and
horses becoming unmanagable, left on full gal
lop. On Thursday morning, as Mr.. D. Adams
and friend were starting from the Cohansey
House, West Bridgeton, the sleigh was cap
sized, the shafts broken, and the horse came
down hill and through the city, minus the
sleigh. Above the bank he took to the side
walk and finished his gallop at the upper end
of Commerce street.

GOVERNMENT BONDS.

People do not seem readily to appre-
hend the true situation of these bonds in
reference to the financial condition of the
country. The prevalent impression ap-
pears to be that these bonds, bearing a
high rate of interest and exempted from
tazation, are to be a continual inequality
upon the resources of the country. This,
however, is incorrect. The "Seven-rhirty
Bonds" are redeemable by the govern
ment in three years from their issue; the
"Five-twenties," which comprise nearly
half of the whole amount issued, have but
from two to three years to run and Of
the "Ten-forties so inconsiderable a
number have been sold as to make it un-
necessary to take them into the account.
The two hundred millions, which do not
mature until 1881, are the only ones that
are permanent, and which the govern
ment cannot soon change. The proba-
bilities are that as rapidly as they mature
they will be called in, and the government
will borrow money on a new issue oi
bonds, subject to ordinary taxation, upon
the same terms as any other borrower
This will have the effect Of equalizing the
interest value Of money, and remove the
inequality between investments ip gov
ernment loans and investment in any
other securities and in view Of this We
cannot but feel grateful for the far-seeing
financial ability which provided for theil
redemption at an early period, instead Of
saddling the country for an indefinite OF
lengthy period with class Of securities
which discriminate 80 largely between the
government and the people, At theil
issue this was necessary, for many people
were doubtful of the success of the latt
struggle, and it was right that those wht
took the bonds should be compensated fol
the increased risk, but in the issue which
is to replace them no such necessity vii
exist, and it is not probable that any dis
crimination will be made in favor of gov
ernment loans.

BARBARITY ON BOARD OF AN EMF.
GRANT SHIP.

The irresponsible manner in which the
system Of emigration to this country is
conducted is beginning to attract atten.
ton from the authorities. A case has
just occurred on board the ship Neptune,
of New York, which even in these DAYS
of horrors startles the feelings of a com.
munity. A woman named Mary Ann
Gilroy gave birth, on the passage, to a
child, which, from sheer neglect, was
born dead. The woman herself was per-
mitted to lie on some straw between decks
for two days, with the dead infant by her
side, without receiving the slightest atten-
tion from the surgeon of the ship or any
one else, until she became SO frozen that
her life is despaired of. For wonder,
the New Yorkers have bound over the
captain of the ship, and issued warrant
for the apprehension of the inhuman sur
geon who, it is to be hoped, may receive
the punishment due to his barbarity.

THE BELvIDERE INrELL1aENcER.

Among our exchanges there are but few
that afford us more pleasure in perusing than
this spicy and interesting journal, published at
Belvidere, by A. J. Shampanore. It's typo
graphical appearance is not always quite what
it might be-this, however, is not owing to
lack Of knowledge of the art of printing hand
some paper, as we have reason to know that
the publisher of the Inteliigencer is one OF the
best practical printers in the State. 1t takes
means, as well as ability, to print handsome
journal. Good type, press, paper, ink and
rollers, all cost something, and without q con-
slant supply of the needtulno amount Of ability
will suffice. We venture the assertion that
there are scores, who have received the Intel
Agencer ever since Mr.. Shampanore took charge
of it, who have never paid one cent towards its
support. How can they expect man to print
paper without funds? Seldom ever week
passes without the hnteitigencer contains an ap-
peal to delinquents to sc fork over" FMS
must be very annoying to those who do pay,
as well as the editor himself, who is compelled
to do it, and will be as long as he continues
the pernicious credit system. The ability pos
sessed by Mr.. Shampanore, and displayed on
his paper, should be well repaid, and we can
assure the citizens of Belvidere, and Warren
county, that, If they will give him a fair chance
and liberal support, he will give them much
more than the worth of their money in the In
telligeacer. As there has lately been desper-
ate effort made, by low-lived scoundrels, to
ipiure the reputation of Mr.. Shampanore aid
his paper, by palming off on him an ingeniously
written and infamous article, we take the
liberty OF saying that he is one of the last men
who would stoop to such conduct as he IS
charged with by his enemies. Having taken
charge of the Pioneer Office for us more than
one year, and performed all the duties of a
practical printer in thorough and satisfactory
manner, and displayed an amount Of literary
ability, seldom combined with such thorough
knowledge of the mechanical part of the busi-
ness--with kind heart, willing hand, and
honesty and reliability unimpeachable, we have
reason to know that the infamous charges
against him are false. Mr.. S., however, is
able to paddle his own canoe; and, Judging
from a late issue of his paper, we. should say
that he is getting his enemies in the pit which
they dug for him-the place where all such
" contemplate liars,' as he calls them, will
sooner or later go.

THE FENIANs.

The Fenian Congress has adjourned
without doing anything except striking
out the Presidents and other officers, who
consumed the proceeds Of the society in
splendid living, and arranging to purchase
few muskets for the use of the brother.
hood. In this they have been sensible,
and if the same good sense continues to
govern them, the probability is that their
society will continue to scare Johnny Bull,
and keep him spending the money of the
people in frantic efforts, first to find and
then to conquer its redoubtable members.

THE CASE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.

For some little time past, the name Of
the man, who for years past has been a
subject of daily execration in the mouths
ofnorthern men and alteration in southern,
has been but little used. He lived in
Fortress Monroe at the expense of the
Government Gas indeed he has lived for
most of his natural life), and people were
beginning to forget him. Congress, how
ever seems to retain recollection of his
existence, and has politely requested the
President to tell them what he knows
about him, and significantly adds to the
question another, which is, why he has
not been tried for his crimes. The
governors and Legislatures of States have
followed in the same. track, and added
their conviction that the arch rebel ought
not to be permitted to escape the punish
ment due his crimes. The President has
replied courteously, butoccupied the space
of short message in reciting what every
body knew before" that Jefferson Davis
was prisoner in Fortress Monroe" At
torney General Speed sends letter in
which be states that he thinks Davis is still
"prisoner of war;" as the war is not le-
gally over until the troops are all with
drawn from the insurgent States-that
the constitution viii not allow his trial
except in the States where the treason
was committed, and it would be farce
to try him there, for no jury could be
found who would convict him-that at
any rate Chief Justice Chase declines,
under the present circumstances, to hold
court for such purpose in Virginia,
therefore, in substance, they do not pre-
pose at present to do anything with him,
except to keep him in Fortress Monroe.
The President, in this, as in all matters,
while he presents manly independence,
exhibits disposition to learn all the feel
ing and temperament of both Congress
and the legislatures, and then taking these
with all the other circumstances into the
account, to shape his policy as nearly in
accordance with the wishes of the people
as thus expressed, as it is possible to do,
and Mr.. Davis will probably owe either
his life or its loss to the spirit manifested
in regard to him by the present Congress,
not very pleasant contingency to him
when its stern radicalism is taken into the
account.
