Notes of Travel.

EDIToR Press In compliance with
the request of some of the citizens of
your pleasant town, will try and
give you au outline of my short trip
into some of the late slave States.
On the 25th of last month l left
home. stopping over night in Steuben-
Vile, with our old friend, L. Bell. and
partook Of his hospitality. La compa-
nv with Mr.. Bell, visited their beauti-
full Court House, being perhaps, the
best in the State; costing 1926. .OO0.-
1 then passed up the Panhandle r. r.
to Dinsmore. Here the country is
very hilly, with fertile soil and very
rich in coal. Then started for Pitts
burgh, from there to Burkeville, Va,
by Pennsylvania Central II. r., stop
ping at Altoona. Here is Il beautiful
valley, stretching from the foot of the
mountain far to the east, with the little
Junietta running through it. Inpass-
ing down this river we saw much
slush ice running. After passing
through Huntington the river cuts
through several mountains, passing
which we enter some beautiful, rich
valleys, dotted with many thriving
little towns, and soon came in sight of
the SusquehanDa river, which was
completely covered with slush ice.
OF Harrisburg, our first stopping place
after leaving Altoona, we formed
favorable impression, from what we
could see from the cars. Here we
changed cars for Washington, passing
through rich farming country, and
arriving at Little York, a town of
some size, with handsome and rich
country around it. Soon after leaving
this place night closed around US
darkness obscuring every thing about
us until we arrived at Washington,
where we took lodgings for the night.
In the morning, seeing the dome0f
the Capitol, the thought passed through
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1875-12-30

my mind that there is the den of ma
tional iniquity and oppression. While
passing along the streetto the boat, |
could see expensive grading and orr
namenting of large open lots. It,is
not surprising thatthe people of the
District arc groaning' umder heavy
taxation. We can see but little differ
encc from the na,iunal uown 10 the
township officers taxation is the motto
of all, expcnding the Ii.uney on work
body oversee it and fill their pockets
out of the treasury. But am wan
dering from my journey.
In the morning, taking passage on
running about fifty miles we landed
where o train of ears was in waiting
for us. We now began TO see the
fearful effects of the war. The fences
and timber was all destroyed, very
much land once under cultivation is
now covered with dense growth Of
timber, many places the corn rows
running into the young growth of
bushes as far as could be seen. The
land in many places appeared to be
very fertile. We soon came to Fred
ricksburgh, and passed over the battle
field where Burnside was repulsed,
also passing in sight Of the rebel Gem
etery, but it being some distance from
the railroad, we could tell very little
about it. Fredricksburgh is surround
ed by rich country, if it was in the
hands of good farmers. We soon had
a view Of Richmond. We crossed
some beautiful streets. extending as
far as we could see. The James river
furnishes an excellent water-power,
much of which is made use Of in this
city. Like Fredricksburgh, it has a
rich country around it, If it only had
good farmers on the farms. The price
of land here is low; it can be bought
for from 81 to $125 per acre. Here is
a great opening for the farmers of the
North. and for Northern enterprise.
The citizens of this place are extreme
ly anxious for the people of the North
to ce.ne and settle among them, and
are the most friendly people L have
ever had the pleasure of. travelling
among. No one need fear to go and
live among them, if he is not carpet

than expected, and lest I weary you

mission, will give you the rest at 6

Why Grant Won't Pardon Joyce

Aspecial from st. Louis, dated the
23d, says :,its.tr 5E-or ao I.f5gs RS :
This afternoon a special friend of
that .functionary, in which he charac-
terized as wholly malicious and false
the rumor that he had expressed a
willingness to consider an application
for Joyce's pardon; that he had no
friends to favor in the Whisky Ring
prosecutions, and the law shall take
its course.
Joyce said to an interviewer who
visited him in the Penittntiary At JEFF
ferson City to-day, that the evidence
against Babcock would be startling,
and more damning than in either his
or McDOnald's case and that II the
matter properly, exposures of other
and more important members OF the
Presidents household would be made.
! To use Joyce's expression, The ems
tire White House will be damned bad
Iy scorched, the President not except
ed" HHa s-'t' =4'' i.' '74oei 'ii~-
Another dispatch dated the i24tb,
says: Hfnte
1t is stated on good authority that in
the early part of the month Joyce
made q proposition to the Government
to furnish all the testimony needed for
the conviction of BabcOck, il his par
don aud q guarantee of future safety
could be secured. 1t is understood that
the proposition was in the form of a
letter to the District Attorney, who,
after consultation with Henderson and
other counsel representing the Gov.
eminent, favored the pardoning of
Joyce for his evidence not only against
Babcock, but other suspected parties in
Washington, as we'll as the Indicted
members of the Ring in st. Louis.
Joyce's proposition was forwarded to
Washington with their approval. No
thing had ever been heard from the
Pres'd mt on this until the Associated
Press telegram of yesterday, to the ef-
feet that Attorney General PlerrepOnt
said the President did not favor the
pardoning of Joyce. l.ta's...

IT appears from the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury Of the
United States that our debt is now
50, 1872, 2,OO0OOO. There are S149, 600 600
in the Treasury. In the naIne Of con-
science why have we net with it

coo is S7,5OO.OO0 D. year. BY saving it,
which should have been done. we
should have saved dollar to every
voter and head Of q family in the
United States. This, in these times of
scarcity Of dollars, 10 NO trivial saving.
Why was 1t not done? We will an

sume specie payments with. This last
i, co silly business. The proposition
costs every body. annually dollar.
We have thrown away in the last ten
years near seventy millions of dollars
which might have been saved in taxes
fl ON the people. This 10 what we are
paying for what Governor Allen fOrci-
lily and appropriately termed "a bar
rem ideality." The policy of the Gov
ernment, in its present hands, IS not 10

Concert which was held at 4, the Con-
gregational Church last Friday eve
was, i'll part. very fine entegtain
ment. The concert consisted princi-
pally OF class exercises, declama:ions
and dialogues, which we, considered
were very good, after which we wit
messed the display of candy aud pop
orn-balis.. To charm the ear. allure
the mind and deceive the child: a
Santa Claus was prepared for the oc-
casion. According 10 previous ar
rangements "Rob." was selected to
play the part OF Santa-Claus, and plac-
ing over his visaee false, whiskers,
over his vestUre a robe, sleigh bells
&c, he was now ready TO enter upon
the duties assigned him.. Securing a
suitable amount OF candy and popcorn
he began TO vascii!atc ? through the.
house throwing it in every direction.

sons could interpret the - meaning, of
such foolisllness and would OF course,

under which he placed those iufant

The conclusion, respecting the uphe-
nomena folded its abusive wings. Ter
the minds of many a glowing youth,
while the public curiosity was. siinu-
lated beyond expression at the attacks
which were made by their Hber,l
views. We are willing to admit there
h,s been some light shed upou some

The New York Herald few days
ago contained full and complete sex-
pose of the new "Order Of the Amer
ican Union" a secret oath -boupd polit>
zeal society, which has bsen'ergapjzed
by the Radicals for the purpose of:
making war on the Roman Catholic
Church and TO further the third-term
aspirations Of Grant. 1t publishes
the constitution, ritual, pass words,
grips, SC. Tbs Herald article asserts
that President Grant, Postmaster
General Jewell, and Ex.Speaker Blaine
belong to and are the head wirs-puil-
ers of the Order, though they do not
appear in the public records or iaeet-i
ings. Grant, IL says, was initiated
privately, Just before the delivery of
his DesMoiRes speech, by George ID.
Weeks, the President of the Senate or
Supreme Council of the Order. Blaine
it seems, was Initiated only the other
day, after the fetter of Foster, the Jer-
sey City editor, had been published,
the ceremony being performed by Mr..
Edwin Cowles, the bald-headed editor
Of the Cleveland Leut5ey, who made a
piigrimage to Washington for that sole
purpose. Governor Hayes is said to
be member or fhe Order, as are also
Judge Tilden, Judge McNus of Cleve-
land, Senator Burns of Mansfield,
| Rev. DR.. Fefbush, Rev, DIR. Ashley, q
Baptist clergyman Of seme fame, and
DIR. Van Epps Of Cleveland. - ~
| Mr.. Cowles hastens into print to
deny certain Of the charges OF the
Herald, and among them that Grant,
Jewell and Blaine arc mem bers, and
that It has ever discussed the third
term proposition 5 but he admits the
existence Or the Order. u When it is
remembered how persistently the
Radical newspapers OF this Stateo de-
MED the existencssof any such aecret
society during our late canvass, and
how even ministers ofthe Gospel and
men high in authority lied outright
in reference to the existence and NOM
bership Of the old Know Nothing Or
der, their faith lin those disclaimers
will be some whist shaken. This 10 a
