~ BACKED OUT.-Schenck has at last
come to the sensible conclusion not to
proceed farther with the contest for
the seat in the House of Representa-
tiycs in Congress from the Third Dis
trict, to which Col. j.. d. Campbell
was elected last fall. In view of the
unanimous decision of the Supreme
Court of this State against the right
: of the inmates of the Soldiers Home
to vote, which was manifestly right,
this, whole matter of contest, from
beginning to end was most ridicu-
i1ous farce. But the 16thly of Col.
Campbell's reply to Schenck's grounds
of contest, in which he alleged and
proposed to prove that many votes
were procured for Schenck in all the
counties of the district by the corrupt
use of money and other yaluables,
which would otherwise have been cast
for him (CampbeH) brought the hero
of Vienna down, like Capt. SCOTS
coon, without the firing of gun.

TON Murray. We notice our
neighbor Of the Democrat is greatly
trDubled about Tom Murphy" Col
lector of New York. 1t sets him
forth as a " Government swindler. a
deirauder and rascal and proved bri.
bcr." We do not propose to defend
Mr.. Murphy, but we have seen a
statement signed by Gen. John A.
Dix and II. A. Hurlburt, who were
on a commission to examine into the
charges Of fraud in the Murphy case,
and they say "that no fraud or fail.
ure on the part Of the contractors
had been shown, and that the con-
tracts impugned had been substantial
ly complied with" This is very
fair testimony, and from men whose
word ought to have some weight.
In all the charges made against Mr..
Murphy, we have never seen a claim
that he did not make a good collector,
on the contrary, we have always un-
derstood that he makes a most excel.
lent officer, prompt and efficient aud
satisfactory to those doing business
with him, This is a local quarrel in
New York, Of which we know but
little, ana have no desire to take
part in it, The most serious charge
however, we have noticed brought
against Mr. Murphy is, that at some
time in his life, he has had important
business transactions in connection
with some prominent New York
Democrats; that he has owned prop
erty Jointly with such Democrats
" e acknowledge that it would be
difficult to imagine that man comic
hold such business connection anG
come ont OF it with clean hands OF
with anything approaching purity
If MIR Murphy has gone through such
a trial, and remaines hoaca, he is sure
y a man to trust.

CHEERING SoUNDs..-T here is a de-
gree Of inspiration in the music of
the carpenters saw and hammer, and
the bricklayers trowel, that we have
never so fully perceived or apprecia-
ted as at the present time. And
the " burnt district" is resounding
with this inspiring music more. and
more every day. In strolling through
the ruined streets, one catches the in.
spiration Of these cheering sounds,
and can hardly resist the impulse of
going to work himself
This music of building industry
has peculiarly eloquent significance
at this time. 1t means a recon.
structed city in the near future.
Every push oF the saw or plane seems
to say, +" Up She'll 90 " and every
blow ofthe hammer driving nails and
spikes into an up.going structure
says, Pluck !; " while the play Of the
mason's trowel plainly tell US
" Whist, my boy ! never say die "
And so this music Of work and en-
ergy and reconstruction will 90 on,
its notes and choruses swelling in
power and grandeur continually, un-
I'll, by.and-by the great, good world
will hear it, and exclaim again

NEARLY everybody has sung or
heard sung, the beautiful ballad Of
"Annie Laurie" Annie Laurie was
no myth. Nearly two hundred years
ago Sir Robert Laurie, Of Maxwell
town, in Dumfriesshire, Scotland,
quantity wrote in his family register
these words "At the pleasure Of
the Almighty God, my daughter,
Annie Laurie, was born on the 18th
day Of December 1852, about 6
o'clock in the morning, and was bap-
tised by Mr.. Geo. Hunter, of Glen
cairne." Annie's mother was named
Jean Riddle, to whom Sir Robert
was married "upon the 9th day Of
July, 1874, in the Iron Kirk of
Edinb., by MIR. Annane," as was al
so recorded by her father himself
Posterity owes to Mr.. William Doug
lass, Of England, Kircudbrightshire
(who woocd but did not win the ca
PRECIOUS Annie), the song of "Bonnie
Annie Laurie" wherein he celebra-
ted the beauty and transcendent per-
lection Of the maid of MaxweltoH.-
Poetic Justice should have required
that Annie would have rewarded
with her hand the poet-lover who
was determined 50 make her name
immortal but as it TRANSFERRED, she
preferred another, and richer suit
or, Mr. Alexander Ferguson, of
Craigdarroch, and him she married.
The William Douglass here mention
ed is supposedto be the original of the
song "Willie was Wanton Veg"
and it is related of him that after
having been refused by Annie Lau-
RE, he married Miss Elizabeth
Clerk of Glenboig, in Galloway, by
whom he had family of four sons
and two daughters. Thus is it that
while the song Of "Annie Laurie"
lives from age to age, the names of
all concerned with the original of it
survive in the recital of the romantic
! incidents connected with its cempO.
sition. Washington Patriot.

MARCH OF THE CRoLtRA.-The
cholera is moving from the Orient
towards western civilization, much
as it did thirty years ago. To-day,
it is reported as raging terribly in
Persia, while it has also appeared in
Poland. Thirty years ago it swept
through the east and then advanced
upon Russia, attended with fearful
mortality. 1t reached the American
continent in 1882 and spread all
over the country, the emissary of
terror and death. The frosts of
winter do not stay it, like other
epidemies- 1t is 20 be fought main
~ by shs removal of all causes of
dissase-by rigid personal and pub
lie cleanliness, and Il good, healthy
and nutritious diet for the poor.
Filth and scanty food are its po-
tent adiuncts. We believe The
cholera has never prevailed TO any
extent in the pure regions of the
