CONGRESS at il last session enacted
that on and after the first day Of January,
1915, the postage on all newspaper matter
should be paid for in advance at the office
of publication at the rate Of two cents per
pound. The publishers Of the leading
newspapers in the Eastern cities have been
quietly at work TO repeal this law every
since its passage. To coun!eract the in
fluence of these men many Of whom have
been strong advocates of every measure OF
alleged reform not directed against their
pockets, and for other purposes, the POST
master General issued an order requiring
all classes OF matter to be weighed at the
office ut which it originated during the
present month Of December. y dispatch
from Washington states that the House
Postal Committee decided unanimously
not 10 alter the law. The weighing of
newspapers at thirteen Of the largest offices
in the country. for one week showed, $500,
600 OF postage to DC collcctablc at those
Offices, against $500 900 in the whole coun-

statement, and, if true, which it no doubt
is, viii explain TO some extent the great
deficit in that department every year.
Under the old system of collecting five
cents per quarter at the office Of delivery

QUE neighbor of the Gozttfc last week,
in an article ingeniousiy written, in which
he avoids points rs much as possible, AYERS
that he does not intend to turn Demo
cral, - aui that ''he is Republican from
principle. and now, thar the old narty has
met with adversely, it is the duty of her
true sons 10 stick closer 10 her than ever. "
l; would afford Us much pleasure if our
neighbor would adhere to the Republican
party from principle - hut Judging from
his course for several years past, he must
have forgotten what the principles Of the
party are, or his admiration Of principles
must have turned in some other direction,
as he fails, very often, TO stick to The party,
which is the chief prop of its principles. Ii
he were sincere the coalition between him
self and the editor of tie DenlOc.dt would
never have existed through which some of
the best nominees of the Republican party
was defeated, in this county-Nagonselie
Loyett, Caldwell and Lenker. Our neigh
Dor knows well how their defeat was ac-
complished. Ia his remarks he carefully
leaves a loophole for escape by stating that
he does not feel himself bound to support
Republican principles except under certain
contingencies. We infer from this that he
intends 10 Subserve his individual interests
whenever be sees 4 winning point, to the
prejudice Of the party. This plan our
neighbor. in connection with the De-
niocrot, has carried out successfully for two
elections.
Our ncighbor need not feel alarmed
about bis publishing 4 Republican paper
long after our Republican principles have
expired, which he predicts. We have ne
yer feared the avowal Of our principles
which We have advocated at least ten years
previous to the time our neighbOr fell from
the Democratic faith, aud ever since and
as long as the party advocates the doctrines
of CLAW, Webster, Seward, Scott and other
founders of those principles, our nelghbor
need not apprehend that we too may be-
stride the fence, undecided on which side
to drop. If We should ever find iJnecessa-
nv from honest convictions, we will leave
the party IN an honorable way. Can the ed
tor Of the Gazette give the same assurance to
the friends Of Republican principles that he
will do So.

a CONTPAsT.-Ourn neighbor Of the De-
niOcTOt is always ready to seize upon some
occurrence which he may deity turn TO po-
litical account against the Republicans,
but through which he always exposes his
political prejudice, and unfairness of cha
racter. When the Democratic Ring was
in mower, and money was plenty; when
produce was ready sale, and tax collectors
could collect the taxes whenever called for
among the farmers and mechanics, then
the taxes remained uncollected, except
amounts required for speculation, and the
Commissioners paid interest on 4 debt OF
some thirty thousand dollars when this
kind of economy was being practlced, orr
neichbor was as silent as the grave" But
behold the contrast between that time and
this. in regard both to the times and this
Democratic screecher against public wrong.
The times are now about as hard as hard
times can be. No money, no employment,
no sale for produce, the people unable to
pay taxes, and yet, under these clrcumstan-
ces. the editor Of the Democrat has disco
vered a most flagrant outrage in the fact
that the Commissioners have actually Dor
rowed ten thousand dollars at thirty days,
and proclaims that the county finances
have run ashore. This loan was made
as n relief TO the tax payers. But perhaps
Jacob would have preferred seeing a little
stringency of the law applied TO ehectthe i'm
mediate collection of taxes. \ little more
political capital might have been produced
thereby. ana turned TO account by his deX-
ferrous hand. Your shrewd chap, Jake
POLITICALLY. A little distress among the
poor-for instance, the sale Of barrel oi
flour or the winters bacon, here and there
throughout the county, to sustain the
county treasury, would be very hard on the
moor 10 ;e sure but then it could be turned
upon the want OF management on the part
Of the Republican county administration
rs easily as was the hard times attributed
TO Granite administration during the past
summer. But happily, neighbor, the Com
missioncrs thought il better 10 borrow ten
thousand dollars than cause distress. The
county can afford TO lose the interest better
for ninety days, if necessary, than can the
tax payers afford to be showed for their tax
IS at present. All know that the prolract-
ed trials in our cou!ts have been proeuc-
tive Of more than ordinary expense; this
and the stringency of the times, was the
cause OF the loan, the result Of which is
simply the placing of that much lille mo-
ncv in circulation at six per cent-a great
matter TO complain about in these times.
But TO complain is Democratic notwith-
standing an exhibition Of facts.

THE steady reduction Of the public debt
of the State, which has gone on during the

debt to about twcnty-four-and-a-halt-mil.

sioners of the Sinking Fund hold securities

The rate which has been maintained for some
time past not many more years will be re-
quired to eXtinguish the state debt alto
gether. And yet 50 wisely have the finances
Of the State been managed that the people
have scarcely felt the weight Of the taxa
ton by means Of which these results have
been accomplished.

cOgrized the boy with her as the child
Charlie Ross. He accosted the woman.

hotel without letting her know his suspi-

at the time laughed at him, and was III.

certained that the man was right, and has
/ used every means in his power to obtain a

Of course the woman told her husband,

substantiates Douglass story. Later in

other, it is supposed, Mosher's wife. They
identified the bodies The one supposed

they shot more than once. No matter

from New York. Still later, the uncle of
the boy Charlie, accompanied by Charles
brother, Walter. visited the Morgue in
company with Captain Irving and other
detectives of New York. The room was
cleared, and the boy Walter viewed the
bodies. He was unable to express any posi-

men. Pointing to Douglass body, he said

The Democratic papers invariably deny

TIE COUNTY COMMISSIONER QCEs-
TIoN.-The Democrat Of last week had an
other article befogging the question in re-
gard to Mr.. Eastine's holding over. In
this article the writer is about as success
ful rs was Hudibras with his gun, which
When aimed at duck or ployer,
Was sure to knock its owner over.
In support Of his position, he quotes the
act Of April 9Th, 1894, which says: The
Commissioners shall be elected for three
years next ensuing such election, and until
a successor shall be duly elected or appoint
ed This simply shows, if it proves any
thing, that Mr.. Nastinc's acts, are valid,
and the foot note by Secretary Jordan re-
ferred TO confirms il.
The special pleading abou, Mr.. lIenrie's
certificate OF election, and being sworn into
Office. and that no acts of Eastine's after
that was binding, is mere fummery and as
sumption, aud is proved so by the act of
lS@4 itself, and most clearly by the second
section of article :, of the new convention
~ follows:
County officers shal! be elected at the
general elections, and shall hold their off
ccs fO- the term of three years, beginning
on the Grst Monday of January next after
sheir election. and until their successors
shall he duly q,d}fod; ali vacancies not
otherwise provided for shall be filled in
such manner as may be provided for by
law.
There is no evidence whatever, that this
section was intended TO take effect after the
election of 1873, as the writer asserts. In
attempting to set aside plain provision of
the Constitution, something more than sup
position and Imagination is required.
The 2Gth section Of the Schedule reite-
rates the words land until their successors
shall be duly qualified as applied to hold
:nr over, while the 27th section fixes the
titac when The oath Of office shall be taken,
as follows
The seventh article of this Constitution
prescribing an oath of Office shall take effect
on and after the first day Of January. one
thcusand eight hundred and seventy-livc."
This section prescribing the time when
the oath of Office shall be administered or
take effect settles the question conclu-
sively against Mr. IIenrie, ard strangely
enough is referred to as sustaining his po-
sition.
The words "shall take effect" =" undoubt-
edv mean ''shall be administered" Surely
Mr.. Henrie's attornies and advisers will
not pretend that he could be sworn into
Office in November, take his seat in the
board and transact business, while his oath
was not TO take effect until January, two
months after bis installation into Office
that during these two months Of his Off
cial conduct be Was not acting under the
obligations Of any oath. Its very absurdi-
ty is its best rciutation. Yet such seems
70 bc the logical effect Of the argument
used.
The very fact that Mr.. Henrie Las al
ready taken two oaths under the directions
af his friends and advisers, shows that they
themselves had serious doubts IN regard to
tle matter We contend that Mr.. Nas;ine
would have been d:viiect in:his duty had he
.feiGed his office TO Mr.. Elenric.

THE Osseo Club, which according to Web
ster signifies something bony, was in full
blast on Wednesday night of last week,
several bones of contention are being de-
vcloped which will show ere long that the
club is not inaptly named. Encouraged
by the late victories, there was some tall
barking at the Republican party. The cX-
editor Of the Democrat snapped and snarled
most furiously at Gen. Grant. He accused
him of all the crimes in the calendar, not
excepting the smoking Of cigars, fondness
for horses and a hankeTing after whiskey,
the latter being 4 kind of nectar intended
solely for the gods Of Democracy. The eX-
editor might have overlooked these Grimm
al acts of Gen. Grant even if he had drank
as much as some democratic magnates, but
he never can forget or forgive Grant for
thrashing the rebels.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 1874.

SINGING IN THE CHURCHES.
In our bOyhood days when we went tc
singing shool, partly to learn psalmOdy,
principally to gaze on the pretty face OF
exercises were over, We were content TO fur
nish vocalism to the churches for nothing
and even esteem it an honor and privilege
to be invited to make one Of the choir.
In New York sacred music is quite an
other thing. Singing in choirs is as much
ola profession as singing in operas-in fact,
the singers who delight the public in opera,
week. day nights, furnish the sacred music
for the churches Sundays, and very pretty
sum it costs a church to get such music as
1t wants. The organist, for instance, in a
reasonably plain church gets 81, 900 per an
mum, the leader or manager gets as much
more, the soprano gets from $500 500, the
alto rs much, and the tenor and bosso
about the same, or generally little less.
This makes the quartette. Then comes n
chorus at perhaps twenty voices who are
paid from 500 to 800 each, according to
position, quality ard capacity.
These singers are almost without excep-
ton professionals, who sing praises to the
Almighty without feeling, caring or know
ing what they sing-their business being
purely mercenary. This scale of prices ap-
plies only to the moderately opulent
churches-the great ones double or treble
these figures. In Trinity for instance the
music is quite as excellent in character as
that Of the operate stage, and it attracts
thousands of reonle who 20 for that alone.
