A WHOLESALE MABRIAGE.-Two clipping
couples from Kentucky were to be married at
Caseyville, H., the other day, and when they
went before the parson some dozen Of their
friends, men and women, 'stood up with
them. The clergyman who performed the
ceremony. the Rev. r. W. Jeeeries by name,
married the whole crowd in this fashion =
Gentlemen and ladies, do you agree 10 take
those standing by your sides as your lawful
husbands and wives?" to whom they all nod
ded. The parties who oficiated as groomsmen
and bridesmaids were terribly surprised when
they aseertained that not only the eioping
couples, but themselves also, had been joined
in the indissoluble bonds of matrimony.

Thehollowness of Republican reform is well
illustrated by the escape of the notorious mail
contract swindlers. Hines, who was the chief
OF the ring, and the only member of it who
was even indicted, has been acquitted, and all
the others will be released. There is not a
Republican oficeholder who has served out a
full sentence for official misdemeanor in the
past six years. This is one of those little facts
that il is well to bear in mind for the next year
A PARTING Word FOR TIRE FIFTH.-In
noticing the departure of the Fifth Regiment
for home the Boston Traveller says:
''The Fifth Maryland Regiment left MS to-
day. SucL guests cannot come too often, OF
stay too long. They are worthy successors Of
the Marylan6ers Of the revolution, who were
Of the very elite of the continental service,
both in the North and the South. How SPLEEN
didly they fought at the Cowpens every one
knows, snatching victory from Tarleton's iron
clutch. The sons are like their sires, or their
greAi-grand-sires. But all is good that comes
from The State Of Charles Carroll of Carroll

SU TRANSIT GLORIA NUMB. The Republi-
on Wednesday, and passed a resolution d.
pecting primary meetings 10 be held 10 the DIFF
hrent counties on or before the 4th day of Sep
tember, 10 send delegates to the State conven-
ton, which is TO assemble nj Westminster on
September sth. The Baltimore city primary
meetings were ordered 10 be held on the I'd OF
September and the city convention on the 9Th
Considerable discussion took place as to
whether the Republicans should nominate can
didates at all or not, and in the cali for the
convention the word Republican was
stricken ont, so that that body might be left
in position bs which they could endorse any
independent Democratic ticket that might be
in the field. The opinion was yentured by
some Of the more sanguine members that great
dissatisfaction existed in the Democratic party,
a supposed state of facts of which we can see
no evidence.
The fact is, the Democratic party of this
State was never in better condition 10 defeat
the combinations Of the common enemy, or to
pass by in silent contempt the futile efforts of
a few men, who have occupied for years the
place and patronage which the party has given
them the privilege Of enjoying, but whose
places have been FILED with men supposed to
be more efficient in the discharge of the duties
of the various offices. Should any of our
friends be SO unfortunate ms to meet with one
Of these ex-oflice holders, they may be readily
recognized by the facility with which they
prate about "rings."

A HEAVY Hrr.--The Baltimore american
has the following to say in regard to the
meeting Of the State Central Committee of the
late Republican party of this State. Coming
as it does from the only paper of prominence in
the party it shows that the men who first
championed the cause of Black RepIblicanism
in Maryland have become Disguised with the
action of the party and have no hopes of its
snal success:
1.-THE editor of the Cumberland News, who
is a member of the Republican State Central
Committee, but not an oiiiceholder, seems to
think that there was something OF an effort TO
prevent him from attending the recent secret
meeting of that body. The notice was
wrongly addressed, and though mailed In
baltimore on the 9Th instant, did not reach
him till the 18th. He should console himself
with the reflection that he did not miss much -

SERESADE.-0n Monday night last, about
eleven o'clock, we were awakened from orr
quiet slnmbers by most melodious strains Of
music. We were at once brought to realize
the fact that the music was by merry band
of serenaders, who knowing our appreciation
of good music, had stopped under our window
TO sing us a song. We listened long and at
tentively to the soothing strains as they rose
on the balmy air, and then stole back TO our
couch with a heart full Of thanks to our young
friends for their most pleasing entertainment.

A FATAL AcclDENT.-On Saturday evening
last, an accident occurred at Boyd's Station,
on the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, in this county, which re-
suited in the death of Mr.. John Grimes.
Upon the arrival of the through freight train,
he was walking along the platform, carrying
bag of -four on his shoulder, and for some
unaccountable reason stepped off directly in
front of the engine. The "bumper' of the
train struck him, knocking him about ten
yards directly in front, and before he could
recover himself and get out of the way the
train passed over him, severing one leg from
his body. Medical aid was called in and all
done for his relief possible, but he died early
on Sunday morning. From all the circum-
stances no blame whatever can be attached TO
the officers in charge Of the train.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-27
THE REVENUE BILL

The House bill for the increase of the
revenue is now before the Senate. Upon
its treatment of this question will depend
the necessity for a called session of the
Forty fourth Congress. 1t will be the i'm
perative duty of the Executive to call
Congress together rather than to suffer the
credit of the nation to be dishonored.
From the best estimates the means to be
derived from the present customs sources
will be insufficient for the protection of the
sinking fund as provided by law. In
deed, it is the opinion Of those who are
supposed to be best informed upon such
matters that the provisions of the House
bill will scarcely prove adequate to the ne
cessities of the Treasury.
Under such circumstances the lack of in
terest manifested by Senators, and especi-
ally by Republican Senators, in this matter,
seems almost incomprehensible. The bill
was reported back to the Senate yesterday,
without any recommendation, by a commit
tee largely Republican in its composition.
Such action, neither positive nor negative,
but lukewarm, seems inexplicable. If the
bill is imperfect, as no doubt it may be, it
should be perfected at once, acted upon
and returned to the House for its concur
renee.
The time is getting short for action upon
such questions as are raised by this bill.
But the Senate is composed of men Of large
experience and mature judgments, who
should be able to determine these matters
in a very brief period. We do not sup
pose any Senator of either party desires to
see our Government go TO protest for non
payment of interest, or to see its bonds de-
preciate for non-performance of the sinking
fund contract. This should not be consid-
cred a party question. 1t is one that
should be considered far above party. The
falling off in customs revenues is attribute
BILE to the decrease of importations incident
to the dull times consequent upon the late
financial panic. No party is response
Bile for it. But the whole nation, men
of all parties, are alike interested in
the maintenance of its credit and the pres
ervatiOn Of its good name.

lieve the earth to be solid, so do citizens
fear and tremble when the governments on
which they rely for protection begin to
show indications Of instability. In Arkan-
sas every lawyer and every man OF intelli-
gence knows that the Garland government
is fraudulent usuTpation; that no regis
tration occurred before the election of the
constitutional convention of 1874; that the
convention had no legislative power that
the ratification of the Garland constitution
was illegal and that the precedent that
would be established by the recognition OF
Garland by the General Government would
encourage if not ensure, a repetition OF
similar revolutions in the future. They
therefore stand in fear and trembling, be-
cause they know the very foundation of
the power TO protect them, to guarantee
rights of property, to preserve records of
deeds and mortgages, of marriages and of
deaths, is shaken by political earthquake.
1t rests with Congress to quiet this dis
turbed condition of affairs by restoring the
legitimate government of the State to its
lawful authority.

green blankets, (Which brother Lewis swore
in his testimony before the committee In
dams never wanted and would never use,
at S23 rair, and red blankets at 1913. 80 per
pair. At the time these blankets were so
furnished at Fort Zarah, Kansas, the price
of the very best blankets of the same size,
in St. Louis, was 81. 40 per pair; to which
add freight from St. Louis, and their price
at Fort Zarah, honestly purchased and
transported, would have been S11.S3 per
pair. showing a net profit to brother
Charles, or rather to the firm Of Bogy,
Bogy & Bogy, in the transaction, of over
S11 pair, or almost 100 per cent.
Again, he rejected large lot of hard
ware which had been offered at the public
competitive bidding and bought of the firm
of Bogy, Bogy & Bogy their more suitable
hardware, as follows: Revolvers at $96
each; navy pistols at S22 each; powder at
SIT per keg, and all these for wild Indians
who were then at war with the Govern
ment. These enormous prices were paid
two years and half after the close of the
war, when all munitions of war were dirt
cheap.
We might multiply details gathered from
the investigation of Mr.. BogY without
number, but the above are sufficient to in
dictate the character of the developments
made at that examination.
OF course, therefore, Mr.. B. has enjoyed
special means of acquiring knowledge in
regard to the Indian service, as Senator
Thurman remarks, and as we have shown;
but the information to which he refers re-
lates TO a time when such transactions as
those we have mentioned were possible,
and not to the present time. Let the hon
orable Senator from Missouri, in his insin-
uations against the integrity of the Indian
office, confine his remarks to the brief and
brilliant career of the firm of Bogy, Bogy
& Bogy, in that Office during the winter of
1866 and 81, and not stray off into the
present time. He has shown by his re-
marks his utter ignorance of the present
status and management of that bureau.
