! EDITOR TRINITY JoURNAI-SIR: Men sometimes
find it necessary, in order to preserve their prin-
ciples, to change their party. The rapid changes
in the policy of what has been known as the
Union Republican Party-changes made solely
by its leaders, not by the rank and fle-have
driven and must continue to drive a large class
of voters from its ranks. The Union-loying citi-
zen who conceived himself forced into the Union
party by his patriotic feelings at the commence
ment 0! tue rebellion, may have, even up to the
present time, compelled himself to follow the
tortuous path Of the Republican leaders since
the rebellion was suppressed; but even the de-
sire to keep company with those with whom he
stood during the war; and his love for the good
that party has done heretofore, cannot always
blind him to the evil of its later days
Having been associated with that party in this
county for the past eight years, and having been
honored by it with public position, it seems to
me proper that / should make this brief public
announcement of my withdrawal from it.
The objects and principles which brought into
life the National Union party have been accom-
plished and established, and practically the or
ganzaton has been dissolved. In its stead, and
claiming the credit of its achievements, there is
the Republican party, which processes to-day
principles and ayows objects which would have
made the formation of the Union party simple
impossibility, if ayowed at the time that organi-
cation was projected.
New issues having come before the American
people for adjustment, claim the right to think
and act for myself, regardless of party names or
previously conceived prejudices, and to vote with
that political party which, in my judgment, will
carry out measures that will best conduce to the
interests of the whole people of the United States.
without retrograding from any principle ! ever
advocated as a Union man, am free to confess
that cannot follow the radical leaders of the
Republican party in their insane efforts to de-
grade American suffrage, evidenced in Congress
by the attempt to strike the word % white" from
cur naturalization laws, rs well as by the ratih-
cation Of the Fifteenth Amendment, which was
simply outrage upon the American people,
having been adopted by the Legislatures of many
Of the States in defiance of the well understood
sentiment of the people, and being made a cor
dition precedent to the admission to the Union
of some Of the Southern States
! acted in good faith with the Union party
from the time Of its formation until after the last
Presidential election, finding in the platform
then adopted at the National Convention nothing
that could not endorse but since the violation
Of the pledges Of that platform, | cannot act with
the party any longer, without doing violence to
my principles.
part from my late political friends with re-
erot but with no doubt as TO the course ! should
pursue as a lifelong independent Democrat.
Yours respectfully, A. j. FELrER.

THE NEED OF ED UCATIoM

The need Of the people, to-day, is Educa-
ton. If there are three things that, more
than all else together, need to be done, in
the next ten years, they are:
First-Io Educate
Second-To EDUCATE.
Thrd-TO EDUCATE.
1t is the vital, essential, necessity OF the
country. The welfare of our people, .he
the safety of our free government, demands
that more than ever before we shall turn our
attention to the provision of free. liberal,
and thorough schools for the people.
We need to do this IN the true spirit and
meaning OF the word Education" We
must duco-lead out-train, develop; not
simple instruct or cram. We must expand
the minds of the American children with the
principles of frsedom only limited by tn,

citizens the goodness aud greatness of tn

TWO AGGRAVATED CASES AT CHESTER.

TWO AGGRAVATED CASES AT CHESTER
The Chester Republican reports the following :
An aggravated case of bigamy recently occurred
in this city, in which two brothers-Daniel and
Edward Aguew-both married men, with fami-
lies, living in Philadelphia, married two girls
Rosanna and Bridget Dougherty- daughters Of
james and Barney DOugherty, aged eighteen,
residing in North Ward. The .Agnews were in
the employ of picture and looking glass dealer
in Philadelphia, and brought their wares to this
city for sale, returning to their homes at night.
10 their peregrinations in that locality, they be-
came acquainted with the Dougherty girls, to
whom they represented themselves as single men.
They visited the girls often, aad finally obtained
permission of their parents to take them out car
riage riding. Affairs continued In this way for
some time, when the rascals prefesscd love to the
girls and married them about Christmas. The
marriage was kept secret, and about the middle
of last month the girls left their homes one even
ing and have not been heard Of since. Their
disappearance led the parents to investigate the
matter, and they found the wives of the Agnews
in Philadelphia = one with two children, the
youngest little over year old. in destitute cir.
cumstanccs, and the other with one child-bolh
supposiug their husbands were In this place sell'
ing pictures. Nothing has been heard Of the Ag-
news or their second wives since they left here.

PoLYGAMr SLAUGHTER. Corinne
(Utah) Reporter, after copying an item
from the New York Evening Post relating
to the mortality among the Mormons, offers
the following remarks:
''We are sorry to say that the Posts in
formation is too true in regard to the mortal
ity among Mormon children. 1t is not,
however, very well informed, or else wishes
to draw it very mild, for instead of some of
the bosses of large harems like Heber Kin
balls buryng only forty-eight children, we
can show the Post polygamous graveyards
of one family, as they call them here, that
will foot up nearer one hundred and forty
eight. As this is certainly the healthiest eli
mate known to tourists and explorers, equal
lied and modified as it is, the year round,
by the salutasy influences of the Great Salt
Lake, it is an easy matter to point to this
mortality evil-it is polygamy, and nothing
else"

The INCOME TAX is especially distasteful
to large class of the community, firstly,
because they. like mankind in general, are
not fond of any tax and secondly, because
this exposes to the public, if an honest re
turn is made, the nett proceeds of their bu-
siness operations, in given year. At the
Commercial Exchange, in Philadelphia, last
week, q special meeting having been called
to consider the subject, the following very
pitby preambes and resolutions, offered by
George l.. Buzby, were adopted by a large
majority:
Whereas, the income tax is strictly war
| tax, and should have ceased with the war
which gave il birth, and
Whereas, well-fnunded doubts of its COD
stitutionality exist, and
| Whereas, it Is thoroughly dcmoralizing,
bv the peculiar prOvocation it affords to pre-
varlcation, falschood and dishonesty, and.
Whereas 1t is especially abhorrent to
American citizens to have their private af-
fairs rudely investigated and published to
the world, and
Whereas, The entire removal OF this tax
will still leave the Government large sur
plus revenue, therefore
Resolved, That in the opinion OF thil
body, this most offensive species OF taxation
should be Immediately abolished, and nj
further assessment be permitted under it,
!, Resolved, that copies of the toregoln!
| preamble and resolutions be sent to ou
Representatives in Congress.

PERSONAL PROPERTY OF MRs. LEE.-The
House Committee on the Judiciary has
agreed to report bill to return to Mrs. r.
Lee certain articles, formerly the property
of General George Washington, which were
taken from Arlington by General Mcdowell
in the early part of the war, and are now in
the possession of the Interior Department.
Mr. Kerr, of Indiana, will offer the resolu.
ton directing the return of the articles, and
it will be supported by every member of the
committee. These articles embrace the
camp and field furniture of General Wash
ington, good deal Of chinaware, and con
siderable household furniture. They have
been for some years objects of interest and
curiosity in the Patent Office.

In THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE, on
the LIST inst, upon the vote being taken for
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, the
democrats cast their votes for Senator j. j.
Wright, of Beaufort, colored lawyer, orig
inally from Pennsylvania, in preference to
naming a candidate of their own. This,
telegram states, "was received with great
''enthusasm, and accepted as full Demo-
''cratic recognition of the Republican plat
Storm and doctrines" Senator Wright is
thus described, by Col. A. X. Mcclure, in a
recent letter from Columbia:
"The most notable negro in the Legfsla-
ture is Senator Wright He is full-blooded
fnegro, of medium size, with finely chiseled
face and handsomely developed head. He
came here with the certificate and seal of
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, as an At
torney- -at-Law. His features and form are
fairly Caucasian, in all save color, and he
speaks fuently and forcib!y. He is eminent
for his integrity, and devotes himself intelll,
gently and earnestly to the advancement OF
his race and State"
From which description it would seem
that the Democracy Of South Carolina have
probably voted for very capable Judge.

THE New York TIMES makes summary
of the crimes reported in that city. during
January, and finds no difficulty in naming
murder, or attempt to murder, every day in
the month. Some of them were especially
atrocious, and nearly all indicate fearfuly
depraved moral condition. In one instance
a married man shoots his paramour, and
then himself, in disreputable house, both
being school teachers! In another a man
murders three persons, at Tarrytown; in
another rough" suspected, himself, of
murder, is shot by fellow desperate, and
the funeral is attended by numerous city
officials; six persons are shot, stabbed, OF
"kicked to death" in bar-rooms, and sa
looms; woman, whom her husband had
"been brutally beating for the past two or
three days." is found dead, and so on, to
the end of the horrible chapter.
The Times remarks that many of the
Grim inals were foreigners, and, generally, in
tempe rance, or prohigacy of another kind
was th,, prime cause of the crime. And sc
we have one more testimony against the ust
of intoxic sting liquors.

identified as that of Miss Ellen Haggcrty, an

verdict OF suicide.
1t is stated to us, in connection with this sad

her to adopt views which she refused to accept.
We mention this, simply as report, for the cor

THE EFFEor of repeating the free mail car
rage of newspaper exchanges will be most
serious, rs we have already explained, on
country newspapers 1t will simply amount
to this, when put into practical operation I:
That the smaller and less important papers,
including great majority of the weeklies,
will have to pay, not only the postage on
the dailies of the large cities which they re-
ceive, but on their own issues sent in return.
Otherwise the city dailies will simply advise
them that they cannot afford to keep up the
exchange. The leading New York papers
all maintain immense exchange lists, giving
away their twelve dollar papers to many
whose terms only require from five dollars
down to two. II, to the present lop-sided-
ness of this arrangement, the postage on
their country exchange is also added, they
will naturally drop great part OF theii
present lists, to be only renewed on the
plan we have mentioned above.
