of the bill Is a terrible pill for white Repub-

THE Domestic Sewing Machine Com
pany, which in common wth so many other
business establishments was forced into q
temporary suspension during the course of
the panic, has recently been enabled to re.
sumo in full. Its assets have at all times
been more than sufficient to meet all Its
liabilities, and its original capital stock has
never been in any way imperied; but the
general tightness aud stagnation of three
months ago forced it into temporary
difficulty which was magnfied at the time
into something more serious than it real =
was. All that it ever asked of its cred :
tors was trifing extension of
time, proposing to pay all OBJ
legations in full, principal ard
interest. This was promptly and cheer
fully granted. and the result was shown
that the confidence in the management of
the company was not misplaced, for their
business now goes on as heretofore. A
statement of their affairs show that over
and above all liabilities they have their
entire capital stock of$1, 100000 unimpair-
ed. Heretofore they have manufactured
all their machines in Fro idence, r. l.,
but hereafter their p rcipa mandatory
will be in Newarl N. J. Their paper

Chandler VS.. Sener.
HEATHvILLE. VA, March 20.
To The Editor OF the STATE Journal:

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
A brief editorial notice under the above
caption in the last WEEKLY JOURNAL is
likely to make an impression not designed
or intended. By the card referred to,
which we ask space to correct, HE
JOURNAL states "The card suggests
L. 81. Chandler as an independent candidate
for the First district" Nothing was far
Their from the mind and purpose of the
originator of the suggestion than to present
him or any other gentleman as an
independent candidate for Congress
in competition with the regular
nominee. All that was intended was to
suggest him, or some gentleman who pos
sesses like ability, strength and popularity,
to cope with and be formidable candidate
TO any candidate the opposition can bring
forward" and that the selection should be
taken ct large, irrespective of residence.
The suggestion refers only to a candidate
for the regular nomination, unless it should
be thought wise, as you suggest, and which
we endorse, that the people, untram,ueled
by Congress, should choose for themselves.
1t is true Mr.. Chandler has never been con-
suited, nor has any intimation whatever on
the subject come from him, and we are
quite sure that he could not be induced to
run as an independent candidate if there
was any other Republican candidate in
the field. But if the nomination should
be rendered him unsought and unasked-
the position seek the man and not the man
the position, as always should be the case
it would become his or any other gentle
mans duty to accept and obey the
voice of the people, who are the highest
authority, and have right to demand
the services of any citizen under our
Republican form of government and
we have poor opinion OF one WHO
will disregard it, even if it demands saori-
fees at his hands.
We are grateful you endorse the one idea
of the card: "to choose men of the high.
est ability and worth, irrespective of resi-.
dence." We most cheerfully accord to Mr.
Sener all the credit he can claim in attend
! ing to the interests of his constituency, .ano
have no disposition to criticise any of hi:
acts. The writer of this was the first
in 1872, to solicit him to become
candidate, and predicted his election (ther
an entire stranger to him except by repu-
tation), and shrank from no sacrifice dur
ing the campaign to secure his election
We want no position of Mr.. S. or an,
other Congressman. Our convictions ar
now much stronger than they were thel
that he cannot be reelected, and that tn
only chance of the party retaining the dis
trict is to adopt the suggestion OF tn
card. Il. NASH.

The SanbOrn Trial.
NEW YORK, March 3l.-The decision
of Judge Benedict, expected to be deliv-
cred to-day, is upon the point made by
the United States district attorney that
Sanborn illegally took money which was
collected by Hawley and Vanderverken,
both of whom were in the employ of the
government, and such collections should
have been turned over to the treasurer,
and also that the contract between Sam
born and the Secretary of the Treasury
specifically holds that he (Sanborn) could
not receive any money unless he per-
sonaly contracted. The district attorney
puts in evidence that the preliminary letter
of the Secretary of the Treasury interpre-
ted the contract that Sanborn must make
his collections himself.
NEW YORK, March 31.--It is under.
stood the government will try Charles
Calendar during the next criminal term

cepting brlbe of 10000 from the Ocean
National Bank of this city, to influence
his official action as bank examiner.

FASHION DoTs.-Mrs. M. j. Davis,
our fashionable modste, has just returned
from New York, and will exhibit some of
her goods this week. 1t will be impossi-
BILE for her to have her reception until after
Easter. She has a very large assortment
OF goods that have just arrived. Also
some very exquisite pattern bonnets and
hats to be seen at her rooms. The favorie
styles have scarcely been decided upon yet,
though chips and black lace bonnets
seem to be the handsomest that are
made up and exhibited at the receptions
in New York. One of our fashion papers
says black and white chip bonnets and
black net bonnets are the fashionable
choice for Spring wear, and will also COM
prise the Summer selection. Black hats
will retain all their popularity; indeed the
choice lies between black and white, with
trimmings of silk and flowers to match
the costume. The Directoire, the Rata
gas reversed, the Gypsie, and cap bonnets
called ind scrlminately, the Charlotte Cor
day, Normandy, and Alsacian, are the
popular styles. The flowers are more
beautiful than ever, all being in bouquets
this year, no trailing flowers being worn
at all. Roses without foliage, large blush
roses, tea roses, and the dark red Agrip-
pima roses are punched together six or
eight on a stem, and almost suffice to trim
a bonnet. These are the only large flowers
used; all other blossoms are culled from
the forest and mountains, and are the tiny
littly fiowerets that come in early Spring. L
saw among Mrs. Davis selections some of
the most exquisite feather flowers; so frail
and yet so beautiful, they looked as if they
had come from Eden. Mrs. Davis
has the largest assortment of children's
hats and bonnets that have ever been
offered in this city. She has employed
one of the most fashionable artistes in that
line of business, and will make that one
OF her specialties this season. The French
cap, made up in silk and muslin, trimmed
with black velvet and daisys. or little wild
flowers, is most beautiful and becoming to
babies and little girls 0hough the Nor
mandy cap has lost none of its favor), and
is made up and trimmed in the most
elaborate manner, with lace, or very plain,
just as one fancies.
Mrs. Davis has received many orders
already for Easter, as our ladies feel on
that day, when all hearts should be so
glad and happy, and our churches decked
with such lovely flowers, that we should
appear in our new, bright, fresh bonnets at
least. GEM.
