store were mostly removed. The -four
ing mill contained a large amount of
wheat and flour A great part of the
flour was removed, but the wheat was
all burned. The stock of Laughmiller
was not removed. 1t consisted mostly
of merchant iron, and will be saved in

The Registration Law.

We have been asked upon many oc-
casions what disposition should now be
made of the registration law.
We favor the proper modification OF
that statute; but (for the present) not
its entire repeal 1t has been an ele-
ment of strength to the Radical party,
and we desire to see it do like service
for the Democracy-but not in the
manner in which the Radicals have
used it
They made it answer for the disfran-
chisement Of those who were legally
entitled to vote. We desire to use ii
in order to enforce the right to vote Of al,
rho are legally entitled to do so; and as
there are several counties yet held by
Radical officials, who would, without
this registration law, deprive a large
number from voting at the next cleo
ton, we desire to see the law stripped ot
its most Objectionable features, and a
severe penalty attached for the punish
ment of any conductor or judge OF cleo
ton wlo may refuse to allow any per
son to vote whose name appears on the
register Weston Democrat

rhe Oyster Trade.

The oyster trade of Maryland and
Virginia is very important and exten-
sive. 1t is estimated that 100000
bushels Of oysters are taken from the
Maryland waters of the Chesapeake in
the season OF nine months. The Vir-
ginia part of the same waters is dredged
by about twelve hundred vessels, which
employ over three hundred men, and
take yearly from the beds about 10000
600 bushels. These are shipped to Bal
timore, New York, Boston and Phila,
delphia. A great many are packed in
this city in cans and sent to the Pacific
coast and the West Indies. Indeed,
there is scarcely section Of the globe
to which Chesapeake Bay oysters do not
find their way.

| 8 P. NJ. the French retired, leaving be
hind many prisoners. Brie, though
abandoned by the French, has not been
occupied by the Germans The French
wounded who have fallen into the hands
of the besiegers refuse the offer to be
sent back to Paris.
The German leaders are losing much
Of their over-weening confidence in con-
sequence of recent military events.
Prince George of Saxony, in a dis
patch to the King of Saxony, states
that Brie and Champigny have been re-
captured, although the French brought
heavy masses into action. He admits
that the Saxons suffered grievously.
Tours, December 3.-The movement
ofthe army of the Loire continues and
there are frequent encounters all along
the line of the advance, without mark
ed advantage on either side. In one Of
them General Sounis was wounded and
General Tallen was taken prisoner
This checked momentarily the advance
Of the 18th corps which, however, held
its position. The morale of the troops
is excellent and the French are conf.
dent of success. The second attack
was made on Antum by the Prussians
and was repulsed with great loss to as
sailants. The enemy continue to retreat
from the north.
LILLE, December 4.-The evacuation
of Amiens by the Germans is confirmed.
The enemy, as they retired, blew up the
bridge between Albert and Acheux to
protect their retreat.
Nothing has since been heard from
General Manteaffel, and there is but
little doubt that he has abandoned his
march on the north, and is Fastening
with all his forces to Paris.
Tours, December 4.-The govern
ment makes the following announce
ment: The army of the Loire has dis
continued its forward movement, owing
to the resistance of the enemy, who has
concentrated large masses Of troops be-
tween Pithiviers, Arthenay and Anger
vile. The army occupies strongly en-
trenched POSITIONS in which it will re-
main for the present, postponing the
advance until better opportunity is
offered. In the meanwhile General
Ducrot, with the army which he led ont
of Paris, is disengaged, and will be able
to act more freely, not finding before
him the masses of the enemy, which
was supposed were going to meet him,
but which are really retoined north of
Orleans

THE POPE.
Address of sympathy and a Protest
Against the Occupation Of Rome by
the King of Italy.

New YORK, December 3.-Archhishop
McCloskey and the Bishops of his do
cese recently consulted together at
Rochester and resolved to frame an ad-
dress of sympathy to the Pope, en-
bodying therein the sentiments of the
Roman Catholics of the diocese, intro
ducing strong protest of the clergy
and laity against the occupation OF
Rome by the King of Italy. The Arch
bishop on his return to the city, I'M
nediately consulted with his council.
Tomorrow evening the address is to be
read to the various churches and signed
10y the clergy and prominent laymen;
The address offers avowal of homage and
obedience to the See of Peter, OF fillaI
affection and spiritual alleglence and de-
yotion TO the Pope, and sympathy ID
affllction and to which his august per-
the son church are at the present sub
iected. 1t trepudiates and condemns the
lawless in justice which has invaded the
legitimate dominions of the Pope as,
sovereign prince and denounces the sacri-
gious violence which has brought un-
der captivity his sacred person. The
address continues. Moreover, as cltl-
zens of the United States of America
whose customs and laws recognize llber-
tv, which the church has received as
an inalienable right, a right from
Almighty God. We protest against
the violation of religious freedom
and the rights of conscience which
have been perpetrated IN the
desecrated name of liberty. We
also protest against the invasion of the
liberty of the church, in the person OF
its head, both as an outrage against the
sacred prerogative of your holiness as
the supreme pontiff, and as violation
OF the right which we, as Catholics, pos
sess, Of being governed by chief com
pletely exempted from and independent
Of ali civil authority. The addres;
finally promises continued faithfGlncs;
of the American Catholics to the Pope
and Apostolic See at all times.

A LOUD CALL.-en Tuesday night last, at
about IL o'clock aralarm Of fire was sounded.
and our quiet town vas instantly in nm uproar.
A dense smoke, followed by a ivid flame OF
fire. was seen to breai out near the corner Of
Commercial and Fifth streets. On reaching
the spot il was Discovered that the wooden
building between Jacob lexanders and New
fields stores was on fire Active work. how
ever, soon conquered he devoring element
and checked its spreading. AS near as we can
ascertain, the fire originated by the explosion
of a lamp which was knocked down in a frncas
between the abandoned female inmates of The
groggery and some 'sSetters," who were
winding up the holidays. II is a wonder that
the entire block was not destroyed. IL our
property-holders choose to rent their houses
to such dissolute tenants uey must take the
chances of fire; but in SO plblic a neighbor-
hood as that house, owners should use ordi-
nary discretion and not jeoporlize the property

ORIdrSArIoS oFTHE NAME or Ko.-Gard-
ner is responsible for the following explana-
ton of the originntion of the name of our
town. 1t appears that in early days, some
sixteen months ago, a small party of men
came up in advance of the railroad and
oanped ON the bank Of the river, where now
is built the Empire town of the State, and on
meeting band Of Indians, the white men
told them that n big town, with plenty of
houses, would spring mp, and that the rail-
road would he built, and smoke-wagons would
come up. Mr.. Indian did not seem to com
prehend exactly the big talk. 4" and after
listening to the incomprehensible tale of
coming events, quietly drew himself up and
grunted out 'Elko," which, IN his native
tongue, signifies great disgust, but il OF such
forcible and expressive character thath will
hardly be admissible to give the literal trans
lAtion. Those familiar with the aboriginal
tongue will see the point without further
explanation.
