conyocation at ploomsburg.

The conversational services at Blooms
burg, on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of the past week, were of un.
usual interest. They were held in the
new St Paul's (EpiscopaD Church,
which was opened for public worship,
for the first time, on Sunday week.
Besides the Rector, the Rev. Thos. II.
Cullen, there were present of the clergy
the Rev. Mr. Marple, of Scranton, the
Rev. DIR. Paret, and the Rev. Messrs.
Brooks, Brush, Burton, Gibson, Moore,
Peck and Shinn. The attendance of
the laity was unusually large at all the
services and every face seemed to glow
with holy reverence, and to beam with
gratitude and joy.
The new church Is fine specimen of
pure Gothic Architecture, and when
the tower and spire are completed, will
be second to none in the proposed new
Diocese. 1t is built of blue limestone,
with red sandstone string courses,
jambs, stills, arches and buttress.caps.
The nave Tor body of the church) is 43
feet by 20 feet the Chaucel 20 feet wide
by 90 feet deep; and the church will
seat comfortably 400 persons. The roof
is supported by two rows of columns,
five on each side, finished with orna-
mented arches, braces and corbels. The
windows are stained glass, beautiful in
design and of superior workmanship.
The Rose window at the west end, a
memorial of Mr.. John Barton, is ex-
qusite. The windows on each side of
the nave, nearest the chancel, ore very
beautiful. The one on the north side,
having richly colored emblem of our
Saviour as the Good Shepherd, bearing
lamb upon His shoulders that on the
south side having the figure of Christ
blessing little children. The principal
windows were presented by the chill
dren of the Sunday School; and all
bear appropriate devices and inscrip-
tions.
The altar and chanceI furniture are
of chestnut, richly carved-the Bishops
chair, with its gabled back ornamented
with mitre and surmounted with a
cross, being especially fine in design
and execution.
TO give full description of this beau
tiful church, would occupy more time
and space than we can afford al present
but we cannot close without congratu-
lating the congregation of st. Pauls,
Bloomsburg, on the near completion of
their noble work. The contrast between
the old church and the new is SO marked
that one can readily understand the
joyous features of each parishioner, and
the new zeal and energy and reverence
with which they all united in the sew.
eral parts of public worship--the only
cause of regret seeming to be the resig-
nation of their long-laithful and much
loved Rector, who soon leaves them for
wider field of labor in the Diocese of
Albany.

whom he serves so well, be with him
and his in their new home. B.-Muncy

THIS is what the Chicago Republican
(Radical) thinks about contesting seats
in Congress. One or two defeated can
didates in this State might profit by its
perusal .....
"We hope there is truth in the report
that General Schenck denies any inten-
tion to contest Colonel Campbell's seat
in Congress. The race, as far as we can
learn was fair one and close one, and
Schenck's defeat is much more honora-
BILE to him as it stands, than seat in
Congress obtained by the subterfuge of
contest would be. The business of
'contesting' should be left to the South
ern scalawags and Northern bummers
who have monopolized it in the past
few years. Nine contested cases out of
ten have no other foundation tnan a
belief that partisan majority will de-
eide without regard TO merit or testi-
mony and in about nine cases out OF
ten, not only are men deprived of seats
to which they were legally elected, but
the government is robbed of very large
amounts of money to foot the bills-for
Congressional contests are very expen-
sive things, nowadays. Congress has
latterly done much to encourage the
prose cutting of contests when there was
little or no evidence to sustain them.
We trust that at its next session it will
inaugurate reform in this matter. 1t
is sadly needed"

CIRCUS MANAGER MURDERED =

CIRCUS MANAGER MURDERED.-I
Henry Whitby, circus manager, was
murdered in Louisiana on the I'd inst.
The following, in reference to the trag-
edy, we copy from the Lancaster Intel
ligencer of Fridays: a-d llc
"a dispatch was received by the fam
lily of Alderman Van Camp this after
noon, dated Vicksburg, announcing
that Henry Whitby, the son ,in-law of
Van Camp, had died in Vicksburg yes
terday, and that his remains would be
shipped from that city to-day for Ian
caster. The family have also received
letter from Mrs. Whitby, giving the
circumstances of his death, from which
it appears that Cooper, Hemmings &
Whitby's circus was giving an exhibit
tion at Raysville, Louisiana, on No
vember I'd. During the performance a
ruffian, whose name we did not learn,
insisted on entering the circus without
paying. Mr.. Whitby refused to let
him pass in, but he finally got past,
when Mr.. Whitby went after him for
the purpose of putting him out The
rufiian then knocked Whitby down,
and drawing revolver shot him in the
head. Whitby sprang to his feet and
staggered toward the dressing room,
five more shots being fired after him,
one of which took effect in his breast.
The greatest excitement resulted, and
the attaches of the circus came to the
rescue, some of them armed with re-
volvers. The assailant of Whitby and
three other roughs were shot dead in
the melee that ensued. The peaceably
disposed portion Of the audience ran il
terror to a neighboring woods for safety
Mrs. Whitby, who was present, sent
for physician, who pronounced the
wounds mortal. Assisted by one of the
attaches of the circus she carried hel
wounded husband to a hotel, whence
he was conveyed to Vicksburg the fol
lowing day. He fingered until yester
: day, when he died.
Deceased was about fifty years o
3 age, and was well known, not only il
this city, but all over the country, h,
havine been connected with the circu
business ever since his boyhood."

No States are counted here in the
democratic column except those which
have voted against the administration.
In this list Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas
and Nevada, which are almost. certain
to choose democratic electors, are not
included. Their votes are not needed.
The last ELECTORAL college consisted of
294 members, Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas having been excluded by an infa-
nous trick of reconstruction. But that
game is played out now.
The new apportionment of members OF
Congress, based on the present census of
1870, will determine the number of the
Presidential College. This change will
greatly increase the favorable chances OF
the democracy. While the New Eng
land States will not hold their own, the
States of the South, whose representa-
tion in Congress and the Presidential
College is based on the old Constitu-
tional provision, under which three
! fifths of the slaves were not enumerated
in the apportionment, will gain con-
lhC luClOdoCu
Of New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri,
Indiana, Virginia, Kentucky and Ten
nessee will fully offset all that the popu-
lous radical States of the West can gain
in the next apportionment of members
| of Congress.
The democratic party will enter the
next Presidential contest under quite
different auspices from those which at
tended it in the elections of '64 and 49,
There will be no fraudulent army vote
taken in camps and hospitals, and ma
nipulated and redoubled, to thwart the
will of the people, as in 1854. In 1872,
there will be no attempt to cast away
the votes of States as in 1868, or the
people will know the reason why. There
will be no shameful resolutions,as in the
Forty-first Congress, to throw the elec-
toral vote of State away if it should
affect the result, and retain it if not, as
in the case of Georgia. The only South
ern State which is now in the gripe of
radicalism in South Carolina, and be-
fore the Presidential election of 1872,
her citizens will rescue themselves
from the rule of Governor Scott, Whit
temore and their tools. The democracy
need not wish for better chances of suc-
cess in the next Presidential campaign
than have been developed in the recent
elections. Harmony, moderation and
the choice of good candidate alone are
needed. Admonished by the lessons of
the past, there will be no repetition of
the blunder at New York in 1861

what are these,
That look so unlike the Inhabitants OF the
earth,
And yet are ON it,"
If MACBETH was little astonished
at meeting such uncouth creatures as
the witches on terra .frnla, would it be
wonder if more than one member of
Congress of the Caucasian race, should
be in like fix, at the opening of the
next National Assembly, when they
behold, for the first time in the history
of the country, number of Africans,
as black as the ace of spades, upon the
floor, claiming seats. The result Of the
South Carolina election establishes the
fact that such will be the case, and how
ever deplorable it may seem, it must
now be looked square in the face. The
Ra ideals of that State did no. desire
this, but wanted the carpet. baggers
elected. They endeayored, by such
political contrivances rs they had at
their command, to cajole the negroes
and use them for their own selfish pur-
poses, but Sambo rebelled, and in this,
at least, exhibited good sense. He as
pired to be "a man and a BROTHER in
earnest, and now that he has asserted
the rights which Radicalism procure
for him, we shall see whether or not
his quondam friends will go back on
him. The time has arrived when the
negroes mean to enforce in practice
what their allies have promised, both
politically, legally and socially. There
is a good time coming. Exchange.

Ten millions of dollars is the estima.
ted amount of income tax which will
be received by the government during
the present year. To collect this sum,
two hundred and forty-two collectors
and any number of deputies and clerks
are employed. The cost of running
this bra nch Of the government for the
first eighteen months Of Grants adj
ministration was $l0,976,724. This is
at the rate Of s7,4l7, ,150 per annum. 1t
therefore costs over seven million OF
dollars to get less than three millions
into the United States Treasury. That
is, the people pay ten dollars, and the
ofiice-holders pocket seven dollars and
thirty.one cents, and leave the balance
for Uncle Sam. And Radical Con-
gress voted to perpetuate this state OF
things, because revenue officers are very
powerful about election time.-Ags.

Samuel Adams on Military Rule.

The following sound words were writ.
ten, not as one might suppose, at New
York in 1870, but at Boston in 1853. 1t
was one SAMUEL ADAMS who wrote
them
"No one can pretend to say that the
"peace and order of the community IS
$50 secure with soldiers quartered in
"the body of city as without them.
"Besi des, where military power is in
"troduced military maxims are propa-
''gated and adopted, which are inconsis-
"tent with and must soon eradicate
"every idea of civil government. Do
1--WE not already find some persons weak
"enough to believe that an officer is
"bound to obey the order of his super
"ior, though it be even against the law?
"And let any one consider whether this
"doctrine does not lead directly even to
''the setting up that officer, whoever he
"may be, as tyrant."
How applicable these words of rev
olutionary patriot, against the rule o.
British red coats, to the rule Of GRANTS
troops now!

ADULTERATED AND FICTITIOUS
WINEs.-Wine drinkers may prepare
themselves from this time forward for
the exercise of all their skill in detect
ing Fictitious compounds. The war in
France has desolated the principal cham
pagne districts. Military and foragipg
operations have been largely carried on
in the vineyard country. The prices of
the foreign wines have already in some
instances doubled. The margin of profit
is immensely increased in the manufac-
ture of spurious articles, the basis Of
which is produced by chemical pro-
cesses. The most innocent of the spu-
rious compounds are California wines,
more or less "decocted," and the most
harmless deception in the trade is the
simple reabelling of California wines,
and putting them up in packages resem
bling the foreign. But the California
wines will not be, it is supposed, suffi-
cient to supply the market Even Il
larger proportion than at present of the
wines and brandies consumed will be
innocent of all the hereditary proper
ties of the grape. The exhilaration of
a counterfeit--or the counterfeit eXhila-
ration-is like all counterfeits, much
worse than the genuine.-L Ledger.
