Sabbath school Visit.

On Sabbath, July %, in company with
l. E. W. Thompson, we visited the NJ. E.
Sabbath School of West Sunbury. We
started from Butler at 61 o'clock, A. NJ,
and arrived in sunbury at 81 o'clock.
t55Although the morning threatened rain,
and the day was anything but pTopitiOus, We
were surprised to find the church almost
filled with scholars and the friends of the
Sabbath School cause; the attendance of
so many onsuch day revealed to us the fact
that there was q lively interest in Sunbury
and vicinity in this noble work. Every
teacher, but two, belonging to this school,
was present, and the absent ones were una
voidably detained, The whole number of
scholars on the rolls is 1853; of these, 135
were present. We were introduced to the
school by A. B. Rhodes, Superintendent.
School was opened by my friend, Thomp-
son. The teachers then took charge of their
classes and for 80 minutesthe scholars were
busily engaged in their reeitations. Ex-
cellent order and strict attention prevailed
during the whole time. We noticed two
large Bible classes, one composed Of males

nected themselves with the school, this is a
promising class, and if they are faithful in
this cause. they will be able to do grea,

were present, and we were informed by the
Superintendent, that these old persons were
regular attendants and scholars of the school.
Upon seeing these aged persons in Sabbath
School we were impressed with the thought
that persons are never TOO old to learn, and
that these persons had sacrificed ease and
perhaps bodily comfort for the purpose of
being present in their places. Sabbath

teachers appear to be interested in the work,
aud we have no doubt the success of this
school if the present interest is kept alive.
We are informed that there are two other

Negro Suffrage and Matrim0ny

The introduction of q new social and
matrimonial era is confidently anticipated
aud most vigorously asserted, by that
class of the Democratic press which does
the thinking for the lower strata of the
party. The most potent, in fact almost
the only argument employed, against i'm
partial and general suffrage is, that ifthe
''ndgU" be allowed to vote, he will at
once have free access to all parlors aud as
good chance as anybody else, or per-
haps better, for success iu any matri-
monial aspiration he may indulge, as he
turns his eyes upon the lair daughters of
the land. This, it must be admitted, is
highly complimentary to the personal
attractiveness of the sable race, and, if
correct, would justify the appeal to the
fears of competition which the argument
presumes to be latent aud lurking in the
minds of those to whom it is addressed.
1t is, therefore, far less complimentary
to their personal attractions and the GAL
lantry of their manners, than to those of
the darkey.
Under the impulse of desire to do
impartial justice to both, as we'll as to
the argument itself, we refer TO two his
torical facts. The first is this. 1t has
never been known, except in one instance
-anl the exception confirms the geuer-
al proposition-that In connubial affairs
the darker race has been preferred to the
fairer, in popular female opinion. A
very black negro. named Philip, perhaps,
who accompanied Lewis Il Clark's early
exploring expedition to the Columbia
river, was the preferred favorite among
the women of the red race. And his
deep color was his capital. As soon as
they ascertained experimentally, by wet
ting finger on the tongue and rubbing
it on his jet black cheek, that he could
be warranted fast colors," there was
no limit to his popularity among them.
Although the general tone and power
of female preference ought to allay all
fears of celored competition, the other fact
to be stated has still more weight, and
ought to sink the great Democratic argus d.
ment entirely out of sight. How much.
prestige in genteel parlors and refined {
circles of society, has the righs of suff--
rage given to the low and half civilized
persons who have been endowed with it2
The vote does not give then social ele-
vation, nor advance their matrimonial
prospects. Yet, to their low prejadices
is this argument of the Democratic press
pertinaciously addressed. To avoid all
risky competition, to insure the whites
againlt coDjugal alliances With the blacks
the infallible and the only means is, to
eny to the latter the vote. The Demo-
cratic doctors reckon this cure "the SOW
ercign'st thing on earth. Pitts Com.

News Summary.

The rumors with regard to removal
of General Sheridan have at last taken
definite shape. In an interview with
the President, which certain gentlemen
interested in Louisiana matters had on
the 22d inst; they were informed that
the difficulties in their way would soon
be removed by the displacing of General
Sheridan and the appointment of Gen
Hancock or Meade as commandant of the
Fifth Military District. The principal
reason now urged for the removal OF
Sheridan, comes, it is said, from Atty
Gen Stanbery. Who declares that
Sheridan's construction of his opinion on
the reconstruction act is an insult to the
administration. According to the la
test news from the capital no steps have
as yet been taken for thegremoyal of
Sheridan but those favorihg it are said
to feel confident it will take place im
mediateiy after the election in Tennessee
is over, SO that Gen. Thomas can be
transferred to New Orleans.
1t is reported that Gen. Sheridan has
appointed Ex>Gov Hamilton as Gov =
ernor of Texas in place of Trackmorton
removed.
The persons appointed by the late act
of Congress for the purpose of settling
our Indian difficulties were to meet in
St. Louis on last Tuesday to organic

The United States troops lately sta,
toned in Kentucky, are moving into Ten
nessee by direction of Gen Grant, who
has instructed Gen. Thomas to distribute
his troops throughout the latter State in
such strength, and at 5 such places, as will
protect the lives and property of the cit
izcns, and secure order on Thursday next
the day of election in Tennessee.
The sub committee of the House Ju-
dietary, who were instructed to inquire
as to whether Maryland possesses Re-
publican form of government or not, will
not make up their report until after the
labors of the present Constitutional Con-
vention Of that State are closed.
The registration will close in the State
of Louisiana on the 2lst instant.
From the records of the Elmira prison
which have been used in the Suratt trial,
it is found that during the spring of
1865, when 5,025 Rebel prisoners were
confined there during that time, and that
only six deaths occurred in three months;
this is very small proportion compared
with the number that died in Rebel pris>
ons among the same number of Union
prisoners, aud yet we find persons who
prate about injustice being dealt out to
leading rebels.

ouiy 10, lCOi'
MAJ. ANDERSON We are now in the
midst of harvest Some of the grass is
already cut, aud the ripened grain is be.
ginning to fall before the reaper. The
yield in this locality is very good, and
the quality surpassed by none. Michi-
gan wheat holds the first place in the
market, and the wheat of this section is
the best in the State. Last Fall the first
premium was awarded at the State Fair
for wheat raised about twenty miles north
of this place on ground that had never
been plowed. The yield was thirty bush
els per acre.
The climate here is very regular. 1t
is neither very cold in Winter nor very
hot in Summer The coolest day last
Winter was 100. The warmest this
Summer, so far, was 900 in the shade,
and it brought out great many com,
plants Frosts do not come 10 the Fall
until late, and by the time it is cold
enough to freeze the ground (about the
beginning of December,) the snow be.
gins to fall and lies until April. Indeed,
| saw snow in some shaded ravines on the
1st of May. In consequence, grain is
completely sheltered, and potatoes will
keep in the ground with perfect safety.
Those who reserve their potatoes for
Spring market never think of digging
them in the Fall. In consequence, po-
tatoes are about the worst weed we have,
as once in the ground it is almost impos-
sible to get them out
We have an abundance of rain in this
country, but not too much. 1t now rains
on an averl ge about once week, and
usually at night The climate is adapt
ed to every variety of fruit and grain
raised in old Butler county, and to some
things you can't raise. The soil is
mixture of sand, clay and lime, pebbles.
Very loose when you get the roots out
very fertile and with rich subsoil many
feet in depth. 1t is equally we'll calcu-

enough to retain manure; sand enough
to make it loose and prevent it from ba'

And now word to the boys. We are
revelling in fresh fish. have often seen
some of you go up the creek and spend
half or all the day aud come back tired

breakfast you thought you had done we'll.
Well, l know three little boys that went
out on the lake few days ago, at four
O'Clock in the morning, and went home
in plenty time for school, with 81 rock
bass which would average pound in

black bass weighing five pounds, or

Legislative reforms are called for by
the ablest Republican journals in the
State. The West Chester Record is
agitating the question, and insists that
the people must take the matter in hand
and see that none but good and honest
men are sent to our legislative halls.
Corruption and abuses have become
chronic to repeat them is like telling
twice told tale, and they lose their
force by familiarity. The Record brings
forward the name of Hon. John Hick-
man-one of the ablest as we'll as one of
the purest men in the State-for seat
in the Legislature, and thinks that if he
is called upon he should not decline
serving.

motion of the Record, not only for Ches.

and says; "Let us send our best men to

From Washington.

'''' WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. ]
Chief Justice Carter, setting in equity, has
issued decree on motion to dissolve an
injunction restraining defendant from draw
ing certain funds standing to his credit in the
Treasury OF the United States. The complaint
ant in this case had advanced the respondent
$1,000 for the purpose OF prosecuting the claim,
and in consideration of this advance the le-
spOndent assigned to him 5000 out of the
claim when recovered. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT insisted that the Court of Claims Dos
sessed by statute complete jurisdiction in this
case; that its judgments are complete and final
and reached all parties; as the Court of Claims
had already taken jurisdiction OF the subject
matter, no Court of concurrent jurisdiction
would take cognizance of it. Judge Carter
SAID the statute prevented the said plaintiff
from asserting his claim within the Court of
Claims or before the Department. This stat
ute was merely intended to relieve those tri-
bunals of the trouble of adjudicating claims
between private individuals, leaving that mat
ter for ordinary tribunals OF Justice to settle
The statute making void all assignments of
claims the Court thought was merely intended
to make void assignments as legal transfer OF
interest in claims and to leave the equities of
contract untouched. On this view this Court
thought it had jurisdiction, and accordingly
held that while 81 900 originally advanced ON
such risk as to justify much larger profit OH
the advance than the legal interest, it did not
justify SO large profit as 400 per cent. in
volved in the $4,000 claimed. The Court ac-
cordingly gave decree in favor of complain
ant for $4,000, with interest ON 81 900 thereof
from the date of its advance.
1t is understood tonight that Secretary Stan
ton has replied to the President, saying that
for reasons of public consideration Of high
character he viii continue his position of Sec
Rotary of War until the ensuing meeting of
Congress. There is no doubt that this is the
purport of the response. The Secretary was
not at the Cabinet meeting to-day.
Secretary Seward returned to Washington
to-day improved in health after his two weeks
sojourn at Auburn.
