1.-THE RECORD
Prospectus.

The want of religious paper. which should possess
certain well defined characteristics, has long been felt
in East Tennessee. Such paper it seen should
be cheap that every family might take it, yet 30
high toned fresh and vigorous to highly esteemed;
60 local in character as to interfere with none of our
able religious weeklies, published abroad and so ex-
clusvely religious as to compete with none Of pro-
gressive secular papers.
It proposed to meet this want by the publication at
Knoxville. Tennessee, of paper called The RECORD,
which while especially under Presbyterian auspices
shall sincerely aim develop the religious interests Of
East Tennessee The news of all the churches and re-
gious bodies in section will be thankfully accept
ed and will be given fully and mpartially as pos
sible.
The great aim will be to aequaint our churches with
another and place people in practical sympa-
thy with the great religious movements and the earn
est Christian thought of the age, Politics will be
rey excluded. Nothing uncharitable or partisan or
controversial will be admitted but only that which it
is hoped may promote the glory of our Lord Jesus
Christ. in whose name this enterprise is begun.
We desire to place the paper in every family in East
Tennessee and to this end earnestly ask the co-opera
ton of every Christian worker. That cheapness and
excellence may be combined, it will beissued monthly
but good paper and in the best STYLE and will con-
sist of eight pages. large quarto.
The first number will be issued early in January,
1878. Now is the time to subscribe.

An Outrage.-The fo

An OutfaSe.-Ihe folly OF playing
with powder, was fully indicated on the fair
grounds, ON Thursday, the 10Th inst. 1t
appears that young son of Charles Hufford,
of this borough, who resides with his grand
father, at Bushkill, came to town to attend
the fair, and while upon the ground, a
colored lad, familiarly known as Happy
Jack" offered him pipe loaded with tobac-
CO, to smoke. The lad accepted, and, after
taking a few draws, an explosion took place,
which resulted very SADLY. The, lad, Eddie
Huford by name was severely burned about
the face. Our reporter visited the house,
and pronounccs the spectacle there presented
as horrible in the extreme. An example
should be made of the miscreant who would
perpetrate such an act upon young boy,
and the fullest penalties, of the law meted
out to him.

n@y~ The Republican Senatorial Conference
which met at Scranton, on Friday last, placed
in nomination for Senator, J. HIxoN VAN EFT
TEN, Esq, of Pike Co., and Messrs Henry w
Palmer, of Wilkes Rarre, and Lewis Pughe, o.
Scranton, EsGrs., of Luzerne county, as Dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention.
With Mr.. Van Etten, we have personal ac-
quaintance, and know him to be well fitted foI
the position to which he has been nominated
For several years he was a student under the
Hon. VIM. Davis, of this place, and upon his
admission to the bar, received the congratula.
tions of the committee of examination upon
the thoroughness of his legal knowledge, the
evidences of the close attention he gives to eve
ry thing he takes hold of. Should the voter:
Of the District open their eyes to their true in
terests and elect him, We would be represented
in the Senate for three years TO come in man
ner alike honorable to the Commonwealth, tn,
District and to Mr. Van Ettcn himself
With Mr.. Pughe and Mr.. Palmer, we are no
40 well acquainted, but they come before us SC
highly recommended by the Republican breth
reth of Luzerne, that we canaot avoid giving
shem our hearty support, and hope that every
Republican, throughout the District will follow
our example.
Our whole ticket is worthy ofthe most earnes
support from the Republicans, and should re
ceiye the support of Democrats as well.

remember, however, that we did the best we
could for linn, and that the spirit was perfect
ly willing even though the flesh proved too
weak to push him to the length of his
ambition.
The speech delivered by Daniel, on this,
all important occasion, was as familiar to us
as household words. 1t was the same old
coon only with its saints drawn from the old
copperhead, instead of the Republican calan.
der; and we have no doubt, but that after the
lapse of time, and when the Democracy shall
have sufficiently demonstrated that they only
hob-nobbed with Daniel because they could
use him, and have satisfied even him that
preferment is only for the Saints, and that
they do not recognize him as one of them,
we shall, if we want it, have the same old
speech in all its glory and originality, for
service on our side, attended with all the
comicality and vehemence for which its tai
ented author is so notorious.
Monday was glorious day for the Demo
cracy, but its glory will be eclipsed, and the
party put under a pair of most dismal clouds,
in October and November, when the people
make their grand reply to Democratic and
Liberal Republican Demagoguism, through
the ballot-box.

Are You Registered Z?

This is question which every voter
should now address to himself 1t is i'm
portant that the name of every qualified
Republican shall be enrolled on the re.
gistry lists ten days before the election.
Then there can be no question as to his
residence and his presumed right to vote
But if his name is not on the list delay is
caused, and he may be obliged to bring
proofs before the election board. The
last day on which voters can be enrolled
is Saturday next. The lists are return
ed to the Commissioners on Monday, and
then the gates are shut down

BGg The Democracy made quite an impos
ing display in their procession and meeting,
on Monday last, both afternoon and evening
Gen. Banks, would be Governor Buckalew
Hon. Ii. B. Wright, and Daniel Kalbfus
were present and held forth to the people in
the most approved Liberal Democratic style.
Though imposing, the demonstration was by
no means soaring or discourging to Republi
cans There were vastly more horse, wagon
and non-votists both In the ranks and at the
meeting, than voters; and counting the num-
Der of heads all around, men, women and
children we think 1900 would be high
figure to place as the number present at the
meeting, and many of these were drawn from
abroad to help swell the numbers, and, of
course, can not tell in the election count
here
The prominent features of the evening
meeting were the Presidency of our long time
political cotemporary, Dr. Lantz, supported
on either side by those sterling Democrats
Thos. NJ. Mcllhaney and John G. Strunk,
and the speech of Daniel Kalbfuss. Daniel
was quite peppery in bis remarks, either be-
cause he felt the littleness of his position as
stump speaker, in defence of his copper
head opponents of lang syne,' or because
he imagines that his old party did not do
enough for him in the past. But Daniel
should not look at things in this latter way.
We sent him to Congress, most triumphant
E in spirit, on several occasions, but as it
was not the paying kind of sending we pre-
same it did not suit his notions He should
