The sixth annual celebration Of the
Demosthenean Soci ETY., which was
given at the town Hall last Friday
night, proved to be quite success. 1t
was honored by the presence of large
audience. After music by the Salem
band. which was present in all its splen-
dor, Rev. J. w. Daffy, pastor of the
NJ E. Church South, opened the exer-
cises with prayer; after which, an add
dress was made by the president OF the
society, Mr. S. E. Hausenfuck, who
elegantly acquitted himself. Mr.. X. IL
Morehead was next seen approaching
the front of the stand for the purpose
of delivering an Grafton, subject: Isl
lent Echoes" All we think he needs
before he becomes one of our first ora
tors, is Just little m orehead. Mr.. Z.
A. Brown followed with an essay, sub
iect:-"There is Light Somewhere,
and before he finished, we concluded
that he was the right man discussing
the right subject. Next on docket was
debate, sub ect:-"Resolved that the
Effect of Controversy upon the Public
is Beneficial" Mr.. S. L. Hatcher on
the affirmative, protrayed with no small
amount Of eloquence ard logic, Qor he
is no slow hatchery the merits of bis
side of the question, and at the close OF
his discussion we were of the opinion
that his was the right side; but when
MIR. w. J. Smith, in favor of the mega
tive, had zealously finished his part, (as
all good Smiths should do) which was
lengthy and to the point, we could not
decide to which the honor OF gaining
the question belonged.
Dir. II. Dillar1, Jr., delivered the fl
nal Grafton, subjeci:-"Self Culture
Considered as a Social and Political
Duty" lie, being graceful speaker
and good writer, did honor to HIM
self and his society.
DR.. d. +. Bittle then pronounced
the benediction.
We hope that this society will con.
tinue yearly to celebrate the birth day OF
our once brave and noble Robert T..
Lea name familiar in the remotes:

rate the love for him in the hearts OF
his men who yet survive, and in the

Mrs. FTCuS Costly ELEPHANT
How is Lieutenant Fitch to get the
Khedive's present to Mrs. Fitch, nee
Sherman, through the Custom House
free of duty? is question which reve-
nue. experts here aud in Washington are
trying TO solve. lie being an officer III
the government service Congress hal
to pass the act allowing him TO receive
the diamonds, but the import on them
is not waived By the act. The Turkish
Minister cannot ask for permit for
them, as they are not tor himself or
family, and are not even consigned to
his care, being sent direct to Mrs.
Fitch through the banking house of
Drexel, Morgan & CO. Secretary Bris-
tow is not disposed to issue free per-
NIT merely because the gems are from
foreign ruler to the daughter of the
general of the army.
The duty, which is twenty-five per
cent on set diamonds, would amount to
about $4,000, a fortune which neither
Lieutenant Fitch nor his father in-law
will probably care TO throw away on a
present which will not be Of any utlli-
ty OF benefit in their lifetime. Even if
Mrs. Fitch eventually gets the dla-
monds, they will become white Gle
plant on her hands, as there will be
few occasions when she can wear them,
and to keep them safe she will have TO
pay rent for their storage with de-
post company.
The revenue men decide that the
only way to escape the payment of du-
ty is to take out warehouse entry for
the diamonds and export them back to
Europe. Mrs. Fitch can follow them
there and wear them at some grand le-
wee, and then bring them here as per-
sonal pr operty 10 use.-N. ]. Sun.

Az HoNoRADLE AcroN-The Shoe
and Leather Reporter makes the follow
ing honorable mention OF an instance of
baltimore business honor. Such
cases do not occur as often as they
might, but they are still sufficiently fire.
quent 10 point a moral
1t is pleasure TO be enabled to place
upon record the following facts: On
January l4th. James Carey, of Balti-
more, formerly Of the firm of Carey,
Bangs d " oodward, Of that city, was
in Boston, and paid MS share of the in
dcbtednesS of that firm, which had
failed at the time of the war. The
amount he paid was about $1,000, a
sum which he might have retained
without fear OF any comment, as no legal
claim Tor The money existed against
him Or the firm. 1t will be remembered
that they were in the wholesale boot
and shoe business at Baltimore. Dur
ing the rebellion they got an extension,
but finally had to suspend entirely.
Part of their creditors settled for forty
cents on the dollar, cash, and the others
made an arrangement OF a trust nature
through which they have received their
money in full, in dividends, from time
to time. James Carey now pays his
share of the money due Tin honcr} to
those persons who compromised and
took forty cents on the dollar. Curl
ously enough it was paid to the widows
of some, the representatives of others,
and even to those who had since failed
and demurred at receiving it without
consulting their own creditors. This
act is not only an honor to the Friends,
of which sect Mr.. Carey is member,
but it sheds lustre over our trade, and
it is not the only act of the kind which
we have recorded within few years.

The people of Arkansas are getting
along most admirably, and as peaca-
bly, as any other section of the coun-
try. This is the testimony of the
Poland committee sent there to iuves-
tigate the affairs of that State. But
Grant wants all this uprooted, and has
sent message to Congress asking
them to take the responsibility. He
claims now that Brooks is the legally
elected Governor, though last spring
aud in 1872, 3 he sustained Baxter. He
also claims that the new constitution
was carried by fraud and is unconsti-
tutional though the investigating COM
mittee have no doubt that it expresses
the will of the people and is Republi-
can i'll form. The autocrat of the
White House thirsts for an opportuni-
ty to crush the people of that state
under the iron heel Of despotism, and
if Congress neglects to act in he mat

bers of that body rushed to his rescue
and forcibly took him from the custo-
dy OF the officer. This was an outrage
equaled only by the Louisiana stroci-

The Tilton- -Beecher trial is still
dragging its slow length along. 1t
is thought it will come to an end
about the first of April. The tcsti-
mony of Moulton and Tilton is of
very damaging character to the de-
fendant. When the testimony on the
part OF the plaintiff is finished, Mr..
Beecher will be called upon to solve
the following conundrums:
" If Beecher is innocent, why wish
he was dead? Why write Tilton
that he was better than himself? Why
say it was his last sermon? his last
Sabbath? Why have such dark hours ?
Why pay Tilton's expenses abroad ?
Why make SO many pastoral visits to
Mrs. L. when Theodore was lecturing
West? Why eulogize Moulton for
saving him! Saving from what ?
Why get on his knees to Bowen? as
Carpenter states. Why sign tripar-
tite treaty? Why have secret police
Why arrest Woodruff for obscenity
instead of libel? Why not arres: Til
ton at first? Why not let Moulton
shoot? Why have congregational
trial? Why suspend Tilton from
Plymouth Church without a public
trial Can all this misery arise from
having given bad advice regarding z
Tilton's domestic affairs z"

The bill has yet to go back to the

If there are any who hav., any
doubts as to the designs OF the In peri
alists, who are determined to make
Grant Dictator of the country, they
will be enlightened by the bill which
was introduced from the House Com
mittee on Judiciary on Wednesday. Ii
proposes to seize the telegraph, now
private enterprise, and make OF it IL
government monopoly. This is to be
done under the color OF the power
conferred on Congress TO establish
post-ofhces and post-roads. All tele-
graph lines are to be made post-roads.
Its most important section forbids the
collection OF news by the telegraph
companies, and provides that they
shall transmit only such dispatch es as
are delivered to them. This is only in
another form-and the most effective
OF forms-a censorship of the press.
The telegraphic news is to-day it's life
and support. If it can not gather it
if it 10 to be dependent upon another
for all the news dispatches which it
receives-then upon that other rests
all the power which is back of its ac-
cOnntability. The Government Off
GERS will send nothing which is not in
their political interest. 1t is the dcs-
truction OF the democratic and inde-
pendent press at once, to which Grant
has such. an adherence because it
stands in the way of the qualification
of his unhallowed ambition. With
the loss OF q free press we may imme.
diately associate that of free speech,
with which it is blended too Intimate
ly to be severed. The fret thing in
order for Government which makes
a coup d'etat upon its country's liber-
ties is to seize the telegraph and ia
that manner to dictate to the press
which derives its information from it.
For some years the Grant Admins
tration has been devoling itself to the
effort of purchasing the w estern Union
Telegraph Company's lines and bring
ing all its vast machinery under the
control of the centralized power at
Washington. So extreme a reyolu-
tionary measure like the so.called
Civil Rights Bill has held fire-its
friends not daring to put themselves
on record for such mOnstrous ad-
vance on the road to Federal Cesar
ism. But at last rendered desperate
by their defeats at the election, losing
