been a beacon-light to this country" A bes-
con-light, indeed The principles Of the De-
mocraey have simply been those Of opposition,
opposing every act of the. Republican party
since the dawning of the day of its ascendancy.
In 1850 the Republicans were for Union, the
Democracy for secession. In 1861 the Repub
licans were compelled to coerce seeding
States by force of arms;the Democracy opposed
It. In 1868 the ranks of our army needed fill
ing up, but the Democracy opposed the draft,
After the war the South needed reconstruction;
the Democrats fought all enactments tending
to that end They opposed the fifteenth amend
ment, opposed the payment of our nation's
debt, opposed resumption-in short, they
seemed to become SO absorbed with the spirit
of opposition that the Republican party
couldn't sneeze without having the Democ-
racy oppose it, and these are the principles
which have been ga beacon-light to the coun-
fry -

WHEN, OH WHEN will Mr.. Garrett lift
his dirty old depot out of that mud-hole
near the Capitol, and give us that magnif-
cent new edifce he has been SO long talking
about? 1t is needed as an ornament to our
architecture in that part of the city. A
friend of Nj Garrett's tells US that he feels
very poor just at this time. In a matter of
that kind he has our hearty sympathy; but
then, he has been feeling poor in regard to
this matter such long time. Mr.. Garrett
must build that new and magnificent depot
if he wants US to advocate him for next
Democratic President of the United States.

rapidly pushed to completion. BY the way,
we were asked by a passenger on the cars,
if that was an ice house built in the bank .

THE OPEN LODGE,

RISING Sun, December 23rd, 1875.
If you will allow me a little of your
valuable room, | should like to say few
words about the open lodge, held last
night, by Cecil Lodge, No. 40, l. 0. of G.
T., here in Rising Sun. Your correspon-
dent of this place named the time of the
meeting for last Wednesday night week,
instead Of last night, as it should have
been. The error doubtless occurred from
the fact that the meeting having been post.
poned from night to night, owing to the
inclemency of the weather, &c.), there was
some misunderstanding as to the night.
The Hall began to fill quite early in the
evening, and by seven and ahalf o'clock
many persons could not procure seats and
were compelled to stand. At about eight
and a quarter O clock the lodge was opened
by IL. H. Haines as President, with a few
remarks, followed by prayer by T. J. Vii
son, who is an earnest worker in the cause
of Temperance.
Mrs. Harry, of this town, then favored
us with an essay, entitled "Pictures -

as on the other occasions. We were not
disappointed; in fact, the whole audience
seemed to recognize the great ability with
which she handled her subject.
At this stage of the exercises, our ears
were greeted with sweet strains of music
by the Misses Kirk and Buckley, and Mrs.
Cooper as soprano and alto, assisted by f.
ID. Mount as bass.
After which Miss Mary C. Hunt, grad
uate of the " Normal School of this place,
favored us with select reading, entitled
"The Spirit Bride Miss II. certainly
possesses talent as reader. The render
ing of this piece was very fine.
Mr.. Geo. Balderston, of Colora, followed
with a lengthy but very instructive speech.
Mr. b. is one of, if not the most earnest,
worker in the cause of Temperance in the
country. His speech was extemporaneous,
being called upon quite unexpectedly to
address the meeting.
The Editor of the Lodge paper, w. w.
Carter, then produced his paper, called the

reading matter contained therein was excel
lent. Mr.. G. deserves great credit for the
interest he takes in this portion of the lit
erary exercises of the Lodge, with but lit
tie, if any, aid from the members of the
Lodge.
The President, after the reading of the
paper, alluded to a lengthy article which
was handed him to read, but owing to the
lateness of the hour, it was decided to have
it read at our next open Lodge. After

From last months report Of the crops
received at the Department of Agriculture
it appears that the yield of corn for 1870 is
the largest ever grown in the country-even
surprising the enormous crop of 1S12.-
Every part of the Union reports an increase
The potato crop is also very large, about
one fourth greater than that of last year.
Cotton will turn out about 4, 900, 900 bales,
which is the best crop made since the war.
Hay was poor in all the Middle States, and
was much injured in the West by bad
weather in curing. In New England alone
is the quality and quantity of last year
maintained. The tobacco returns show an
increase of - per cent over last year, with
an improvement in quality. Buckwheat is
fully up to the average product. The sea-
son has been one of general disaster to
fruit growers, and only in limited sections
have ordinary crops been gathered.
