New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1872-10-31

The telegraph informs us that religious
body now in session at Wilmington, Della
ware, has been earnestly debating the ques-
ton whether or not rotatory elders are to be
desired. The merely secular mind is not
fully able to grasp this momentous subject
without further information as to the charac-
ter of rotatary member. Wherein consists
that estate of rotation into which a rotatory
elder must necessarily fall? Were it ques-
ton Of rotatory'eldcrs, one could easily fancy
that the subject of dancing was in some way
connected with the matter, and that rota-
tory elder was one who practically showed
his approval of round dances. The rotatory
elder, however, deiies analysis until truth
full definition of him is furnished. In the
meanwhile, there is an opportunity to sug-
gest to the good people who attempted to
call the rotatory elder into active existence,
that the English language may possibly be
able to furnish word that will express their
meaning at least as well as the inapplcable
term ''rotatory."-N. Y. Times.

HOUSE,
l53 Thompson Street,
Near Houston. NEW YORK.

This house possesses attractions superior to
any other of its class in the city, been newly
painted and furnished with new furniture, beds
and bedding throughout. 1t is heated with hot
air, abundantly supplied with hot and cold wa
ter baths for the use Of boarders and is de-
signed especially for comfort and convenience
for respectable families. The location is cen
trail and it possesses the advantage of being
within a few minutes walk of the principal
churches, and the very main line of city rail-
roads.
Strangers visiting the city, can avoid the ag-
gravating delays; by not giving up the checks
for their baggage to express agents, on the line
of railways on board of steamboats,, but hold
on to their checks until they arrive at the house,
when the proprietor will send for their bag
gage.
Also, do not engage hackmen to bring you to
the house, but take the Houston and Chambers
street cars, which run on line with all the
Charleston, Boston and Norwich landings, and
the Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia
depots, on West street. The Houston and
Chambers Street cars, will land them within
half block from the house.

vide for the public wants, the undersigned re-
specially calls the attention of persons visiting
the city, to the Powell House, and solicits their

FOR CHANT.
BY EDWARD RENAUD.

From white Nevada's suow-crowned head to
Massachusetts Bay,
From North to South, from East to West
fling wide the flag to-day;
We dread no more the evil deeds that fac
tious foemen do
No sacreligious hand shall set the gray above
tie blue!
Flash far, on hot electric breath, in cabin
cot, and hall,
The message that the captain calls to rise
and man the wall;
Our hearts are bold, our blades are bright
our spirits brave and true;
Our prayer we pray-abase the gray but
God protect the blue!
Send forth our armies to the fight; speed
speed them DER the rail;
That we who fight the honest fight for truth
may yet prevail;
Though breakers beat the Ship of State we
vet shall pull her through,
And deck her for the festival with red, and
white, and blue.
The clouds that fieck the armament at close
or dawn of day
Float cd,th,cord, but the eternal dome springs
heavenward, far away;
Then how shall puny man essay what God
denies TO do?
To set the cruel gray above the armament OF
blue?
The eagle with unfinching eye looks proudly
at the sun:
As fearlessly we front the foe-thc fight is
well nigh done;
Soon shall the lannon's laundering roar pro-
claim the deeds we do,
And show that we have set the gray beneath
the honored blue.
They come, myriad marching men! hear
their laundering tread,
To battle bravely for the right and strike the
treason dead;
LOT in the van our hero stands beneath the
blaze of day,
To raise the dear old blue once more above
the cruel gray!

The Count De ChambOrd.

The gentleman usually known as the Count
de Chambord, but called Henry the Fifth by
few people in France, has published an
other letter denouncing the Republic, and
declaring that France can be saved only by
monarchy unfortunately, he considers that
one person-namely, himself-has an eXclu-
sive right to be the monarch. In previous
letter he had denounced the tri-color flag,
under which France had won her greatest
victories, and declared that the white flag Of
the Bourbons ought to be borne, and none
other, by Frenchmen. The mistake of this
gentleman's life has been that of considering
that himself, OF any other man, has right
to rule France, because his ancestors did So
usually very badly. This last of the Bour-
bons, as he calls himself-though the Or.
leans, eX-Spanish, eX-Neapolitan, and ex-
Parmesan families are Bourbons also-errs
in assuming that, in this latter part of the
nineteenth century, any person is entitled to
govern a country, without being chosen to
do so by the inhabitants, merely because in
other days some of his ancestors did so. The
Count de Chambord may write quires ofletters
asserting his rights, but they will fall on the
mind of France "as soft as snow on the
sea.o
AT the same time, this poor man is to be
pitied. He was born at Paris, in 1920, seven
months after the Duke dc Berry, his father
was assassinated. He was named the God
given (Dieu-donn6) at his baptism, which
was performed with great pomp, in water
brought from the river Jordan by Chateau
BRAND, and the Car Alexander, with others
rajoicing that in him the first branch of til.
Bourbon line would be perpetuated, bestowed
on him the adaptive title of " the Child o
Europe" In July, 1880, when Charles X.
his grandfather, was compelled to fly from
France Il dethroncd and broken exile. the
old man made formal resignation of the
Crown in favor of the Duke dc Bordeaux, as
this boy, then not ten years old, was called
France did not recognize this last and use
less act, and the boy-Prince, who now be
came, what he still is, Pretendcr to the
sovereignty, had to quit France, which he die
not revisit until last year, when, being con

Prince Napoleon, the other day, are not per
mitted to remain in Paris, nor even upoI

this poor Count dc ChambOrd has neither
hopes nor fears attached to his name. He
married an italian princess twenty-six year:
ago, and, having no children, his persona
pretensions will perish with him. BY al
means, NJ. Theirs and other sensible country
men of his will say, by all means let the un.
fortunate gentleman write as many letters
against the Republic as he pleases. These

Origin and History of the Stars and
Stripes.

The stars and stripes became the national
flag of the United States of America by vir-
tue of resolution of Congress, passed June
IA, l777: Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white that the Union be
thirteen stars, white, in blue field, repre-
senting new constellation" This resolu-
ton appears in the Journal of Congress, vol
ume 2, page 1G5. Although passed on the
date given above, it was not made public UNI
til September Sd, in the same year, when it
appeared in the Boston gazette and Country
Journal. The flag seems to have been the re-
suit of the work commenced by Washington,
DR.. Franklin, Mr.. Lynch, Mr.. Harrison, and
Colonel Joseph Reed. On the I'd January,
1776, Washington was in the American camp
at Cambridge, organizing the new army which
was that day created. The committee of
conference, consisting of Franklin, Lynch,
and Harrison, sent by Congress to arrange
with Washington the details of the army,
were with him. Colonel Reed, one of the
aids -de-camp, was also secretary of the
committee Of conference. The several de-
signs for flags had long occupied the thoughts
of Reed and his associates. The flag in use
by the army was plain red field, with the
British union of the crosses OF st. Andrew,
st. George, and st. Patrick on the upper left
corner. several ScUticLlcu Vi DOSLOI ScuI W
the American camp copies of the Kings
speech. 1t was received on the date men
toned above, and the effect is described in
the British Annual Register, l776, page l47,
thus -.
"The arrival of the copy Of the Kings
speech with an account of the fate of the
petitiOn from the Continental Congress, is
said to have excited the greatest degree of
rage and indignation among them as proof
of which, the former was publicly burned in
the camp and they are said, on this Occa-
sion, to have changed their colors from a
plain red ground, which they had hitherto
used, to flag of thirteen stripes, as sym
Dol Of the number and union OF the Colo
Mes"
The use Of stripes to mark the number 81
the States on the flag cannot be clearly
traced, but may be accounted for by Gus
tom Of the camp at Cambridge. The army
of citizen volunteers comprised all grades OF
men. Very few were uniformed. 1t was
almost impossible for the scntinels to distin-
guish general officers from privates. FIRE.
quently officers were stopped at the outposts
and held for Identification until the arrival of
the officer of the day. Orders were issued
that the different grades Of officers should be
distinguished by a stripe Of colored ribbon
worn across the breast. Washington, as
Commander-in-C Chief, wore a ribbon of light
blue. The stars on the blue field-"a new
