ag~ There seems to be an impression
among many persons that the members
of Congress elected on Tuesday last
will take their seats in December next.
This, of course, is an error. The term
of the present Congress does not expire
until the fourth of March, next; conse-
quently, unless an extra session OF Con-
gress is called by Grant at the close Of
the present Congress, the new members
chosen on Tuesday will not enter upon
their Legislative duties until the first
Monday in December, 1875.

We learn that considerable change
will be made in the new time table of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad when
the rev book is issued, which will be
about the 10TH of this month. 1t is the
purpose to have the running time Of
passenger trains SO arranged that they
may be run through from Baltimore to
Chicago on the same schedule. A new
train is to be put on, which will be
called tie 'Iimited Express, and will
be run from Martinsburg without stop
ping, from MartinSburg to Piedmont,
from Piedmont to Grafton, and from
Grafton to Parkersburg, and so on over
the entire route stopping once IN about
ninety TO q hundred miles. Tenders
with tanks capable Of holding a sutiic-
lent water supply are now in course Of
construction for the engines which are
to run this train. The average speed
will be about thirty-two miles per hour.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany are determined to keep ahead in
everything looking to the accommoda-
ton Of the travelling public.-Martins-

sD~ To OUR SUBsCRIBERs.-On the
first of January, 1875, the new postage
law goes into effect, which requires us
to prepay the postage on papers sent
through the mails beyond the limits OF
the county. This renders it necessary
for US to require prepayment OF sub
scription on all papers sent outside OF
this County, from the fact that we can
not afford to prepay the postage and
wait for years for the amount OF sub
scription to be paid, and in some cases
never receive the amount due us at all
We will prepay the postage on advance
paying subscriptions, without additional
charge. We give this timely notice SO
that subscribers at a distance who wish
to continue, may settle up their back
dues and prepay for the ensuing year.

GOVERNOR ALLEN.

At the jubila,ion in Columbus, Ohio,
over the victory, Governor William
Allen addressed the people as follows; :
"About FIVE weeks ago l stood upon
this same store and made a brief speech
at the opening OF the recent Ohio cam
paign. The main part OF that speech
was employed in giving TO the people,
and especially to the younger part OF
the assembled masses, some idea OF lne
origin and progress and services OF inc
great Democracy of the Unlon.
That party was based upon principlee
and actuated by spirit OF justice 10 al
men; and it was necessary, L believed,
that the younger generation, born since
that party was organized, should nave
some little i,ica of " hat that party was.
Never since human society was organ

Of men in any age, III any country, or
for any purpose, more noble, more dis
interested. more honorable i'll lis designs
than the good old Democracy of the
United States. Applause. told you
how that party happened to be dis
placed from power. After enjoylngthe
full measure Of the nations confidence
for sixty years, it divided its own ranks.
The two wings Of the party disagreed,
and separated at the Presidential cleo
ton. and made the chasm through
which its adversaries marched into
power. The party never changed Its
name. because it bore name OF honor.
1t never changed its principles, because
they were based on eternal truth, upon
which all society which is lasting and
enduring must be based.
Now, when | was speaking here five
weeks ago, | told You, and | knew
what | was saying, that saw from
the returning reason. so long sllenced
by the din of arms and thirst for blood,
| saw from the returning reason OF the
people that they were once more tired
OF the power which had crushed Them
and were extending their arms to the
Democratic party, and crying, Come
back. come back, come back and receive
our confidence again." Applause.
They responded to that call yesterday
They did come back, and they have
come back to stay. Prolonged Ap-
plause.l The sutferings of this country
in the absence Of Democratic rule dur
ING the last fourteeny years have cautioned
the American people to restore that
good old party that carried them TO trl-
umph in their former years, and whose
principle alone can perpetuate their IN
s,itutions. thank you. Applause,

tercation on the railway platform, when
Martin drew pistol and snapped it at
Holmes, the cap failing to explode,
whereupon Holmes sought refuge in
the depot, and was fired upon before
reaching it, the ball missing Holmes
and striking negro named Charles
Smith, the ball entering his back, pro
ducing probably fatal wound. Mar
tin then pursued his intended victim
into the depot, after entering which he
fired upon him twice, both balls failing
to take effect, and narrowly missing
some gentleman in the telegraph Office.
The parties were then relieved of their
shooting irons and kicked out by the
agent. The excitement may be mag

pot was filled with passengers waiting
