The Arlington Estate.

The Washington Star says: 1t is
supposed by many that the Govern
ment holds possession of Arlington by
reason of the Confiscation Act, and ac-
cording to the provisions of that law
the title can only he vested in the Gov
ernment during the life of the party
who engaged in the rebellion. Hence
it is said that Arlington now revcrts to
the heirs of General Lee. Such is not
the case, however, as the property is
not held under the Confiscation act, not
having belonged to General Lee. AT
the death of Mr.. Custis a life interest in
it was bequeathed to Mrs. Lee, his
daughter, and at her death it was to be
his grandsons', Custis and Fitz Hugh
Lee. The taxes upon the property
having accumulated during the rebel
lion, it was sold therefor, and purchased
by the Government. Thus, it will he
seen, it is held by virtue of u tax title.
efforts were made to re-
deem it by paying the amount of taxes;
but, so far, have been unsuccessful, and
the title is still vested in the Govern
ment by virtue of the tax sale alluded
to. AS the Arlington estate has now
been converted into great national
cemetery and is filled with the bones
Of those who fell in the war Of the re-
bellion, it cannot we'll be used for any
other purpose, and it's possession could
hardly be desirable to the Lee family.

Time and Eternity.

What folly is it, that with such care
about the body which is dying, the
world which is perishing before your
eyes, time which is pcrpetually disap-
pearing, we should so little care about
the eternal state in which we are to live
forever, when this dream is over !!
When we have existed ten thousand
years in another world, where will be
all the cares, the fears and enjoyments
of this? In what light will we look
upon the things which now transport
us with Joy, or overwhelm us with
grief
Use coal oil to clean furniture and re-
move blOtchcs and hide scratches; it is
excellent. When sewing machines get
gummed up, use it to loosen the dirt,
and it will clean without water or soap
then grease it with sperm oil, and the
machinery will be like new.

Gen. 4. Il. Hill.

Ii the wandering dc;lth-bcd utter
anccS OF the two great Confederate
chicftains, " StOncWalP' Jackson and
Robert T.. Lee, may be considered as
final upon the matter, then the late
Confederate General A. T.. Hill, who
lost his life at the closing battle of the
war, must be accepted by history as
the most trusted coadjutator of these
eminent commanders. In his dying
moments Jackson exclaimed, "Scnd
me A. u. Hill to the frOnt!" Upon his
death-bcd at Lexington, General Lee,
rs the telegraph states, his mind revert
ing to the bloody events of the war,
aoncc ordered his tent to be struck,
and at another time desired Hill to be
sent for" Thus does it appear that, in
the supreme moments of the closing
hours Of those men upon whose shoul-
dcrs rested the heaviest burdens OF the
war upon the side of the COnfederacy,
came the utterances, born of delirium,
but more solemn for that reason, that
stamps General a. p. Hill rs Il man
whose presence was to be desired, and
whose fidelity was assured. No higher
compliment could be paid to his MEM
ory than these parting words of Lee
and Jackson.-N. y. UO,ld.

Address Of National Democratic Executive
Committee.
Encouraging Words for Democrats.

Rooms NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC EN-
ECUTIVE COMMITrEE, Washington, ID.
G., Oct. 2l, 1S7O.-Thc National Demo-
cratic Congressional Resident Commit
tee tender their congratulations to the
Democratic and conservative voters of
the three great States of Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Ohio for their recent sue
cesses over the corruption of OfRadicalism,
aided as the Radicals have been by Il
profligate and desperate Administration
at Washington. In Pennsylvania
gain of five members of Congress has
been secured. The Radical majority of
last year has been largely reduced in
each branch of the Legislature, and
there is a decided majority in the State
on the popular vote against the Admin
istration. In Indiana the State has
been redeemed from further Radical
misrule by the election Of the Demo-
cratic and conservative State ticket,
carrying it with Il gain of two members
of Congress and Il majority i'll each
branch of the Legislature. Economy
and reform arc thus made sure to the
people of that State in the immediate
future. In Ohio the Radical majority
of two years ago has been reduced more
than one-half, and the leader Of the
Radical corruptionists in this present
Congress been defeated.
We now appeal to the Democratic
and Conservative voters of the States in
which elections are about to be held, to
make further ana more determined cf-
forts in behalf of restoration of an
honest administration. We ask that
they disregard threats from any central
sources, and pay no attention i'll any re-
spect to the proposed use of the military
power of the Government i'll the local
management of elections i'll the States.
Let the doors of our organization be
thrown wide open for the admission Of
all who desire economy and honesty III
the management of the public treasury,
so that the present burden of taxation
may be thereby mitigated, regardless of
former issues or past political association
or name, and bring about entire coop
Grafton among all who seek Il restOra-
ton of the Union founded upon peace
and good will among their fellow-men,
and return to strict integrity among
the public officers of the nation.

Your Tax Receipt,

I Who has got one? or rather who has
not got one? Look at It; read it; COM
pare it with similar receipts in former
years. Can you tell why it is so much
larger than the old ones? In 1859 the
Attorney Generals Department of the
State government cost the people $l47,-
600; now it costs them 1880, $50. In
1859 the Executive Department and
Auditors Office cost the people $s 200;
they cost them now $45, 1855. In 1859
the Treasurer's Office cost the people
$6, 400; now it costs them $16,s5O. 1t
used to cost the people the trifiing sumc.of
500 to tlisburse the school fund it now
costs them $34, 800, beside ten per cent.
commission to the tax collector. Be-
side all this, many millions of dollars
have been given away to enrich parti-
zan fsvorites. These facts sufficiently
show why your present receipt is so
much larger than when the Democracy
ruled the Statc.-N. 0. Democrat.
