The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1875-12-17

WE publish this week the prospec-
tus OF the Pittsburgh Post for 1876.
1t is hardly necessary for us to enlarge
on the ability and merits of SO Old an
established and SO widely known an
organ of the Democratic patty as the
Post. That it has always been true
to the cause of Democracy, as well IL
prosperity as in adversely, is unlver-
sally conceded, and is its highest re-
commendation to the support oil the
partv. We wish it an increased meas
ure of SUCCESS in the future.

The new burdens the President seeks
to impose on religious bodies in this country
would fall with most force upon his own
friends, the Methodists having some S1O,-
Ooo,ooO more of property to be mulcted
than any other denomination. The census
of 1870 gives the Methodist Church proper
ty exempt from taxation as 500 S54, lei,
against 500. 9S5 500 held by the Catholics
and S52 265, 256 held by the Presbyterians
1t would be sad if the exhibition of these
facts should induce Bishop Haven and his
two hundred followers TO reconsider their
denomination.

emphasize that statement. All our neonIe
are Tor you and we can carry the state he
yond peradventure. Our danger is thar the
West will demand the nomination. This can
also be averted, of course, by IA union of New
England, the Middle States, and stray voters
from the South. A potent factor in our rnext
convention will be the secret anti-Catbolic
order. Grant is member, and il has r,ood
deal of strength in Congress. | think COZ,
ought to go in. 1t can be SO arranged HAT
You can be initiated anywhe by any nerson
The order is spreading widely. Nv ohIi1a

1ngton and with the states we have carried
we can surely hold the country. BnttohoIj

THE Mysterious Pilgrim club of
Philadelphia, an association of the
prominent ring politicians of both par
ties of that city. has at last been COM
PEELED by the force of public opinion to
abandon its organization, and on Sat-
urday night resolution was passed
providing for its disbandment on
January l. The members will, how
ever. it is said, now devote themselves
to the task Of capturing the Union
League and running it to suit their
purposes.

Togive one an i,lea of the superlative
check of the Shepherd Ring i'll Wash
ington. it is only necessary to state
the fact that the estimates for public
works in 1860 was 100000. In 1877
(thc current financial year, they were
swollen, under the influence of Boss
Shepherd and other Rings, to Sl6,-
115 .0i2. Not satisfied with this, the
Secretary now demands for them no
less than S23, ,59l ,420 for 1871! This
sum includes over five millions for
custom houses nearly n million for
armories and arsenals; two millions
for Notifications; fourteen millions for
harbOrs: three millions for buildings
under the Washington Ring nearly
two millions for navy yards; over
half q million for military structures,
and so on. One would suppose, to
quote the language of the Pittsburgh
Post, that we had not only concluded
to 90 to war, but to go crazy also.
The House of Representatives will
have TO apply the knife fearlessly to
these estimates.

The Pottsville Journal, a Republi-
can paper, does not believe that a great
religious war is possible i'll America,
even in politics, ami still less does it
believe that if such war should arse
victory is foreordaincd to perch upon
the blnners of that party which makes
Ulysses 5. Grant it's leader. Bishop
Haven, it says, is 4 strong man, and
occupies position of enormous lnflu-
ence, but it regrets that he should
use it to the fomcnting Of religious
strife. If we must have religious
war, let it come, remarks the journal,
but do not let it be plecipitated by
the action of the Methodist Church.

SENATOR WALLACE's remarks that
the Forty fourth Congress had now
been intrusted to the Democracy, and
it was for them to prove their ability
to lessen the burdens of an oppressed
and overtaxed people, to stop the leaks
and to punish wrOng-doers economy

crlrment be administered for the bene
fit of all sections; the Democracy were
about to enter upon their trial the
people themselves were the judges; it
was for the Democrats in Congress to
prove their fitness for the high places
to which they were called they must
b. governed by statemanshfp deep and
wide enough to cover every section and
the great interests of all, and judgment
and discretion must mark their path

to prevent reform, and the exposure
and punishment of crime and official
corruption will be the Radical Senate

THE QUEEN or ALL SEWING MACHINES
In speaking OF the LlerIts of the Wilson
shuttle sewing machine, il Is sufficient for Us
20 say that we think the invention OF this
machine marks one Of the most important

we consider the influence il has upon the So
cial well-being of the masses, it is difficult 10
conceive of an invention of more importance.
Ii has beautiful, noi-eless movement; il
makes the genuine lock-stitch" alike on

OF plain and fine sewing;.it needs no com
mendnion; it, rapid sales, the increasing de-
Inand, and the many 1attering testimonials
from those who have used il, is sufficient
proof Of its merits. The want of sewing
machine is deeply felt in every household,
and As the Wilson shuttle sewing machine,
on account OF lie extreme simplicity and less
cost OF manufacture, Is sold AZ "A much lower
price than all other first-class machines, il Is

Wants Divine Asslstanee.-Mr. J. v.
Jones, editor Of the Fostoria Rerie,c, makes
the following confession in "a warning to
bad boys;"
We give all the boys good advice, al
ways to shun bad company. First, We began
to go with bad company, then | began to
swear, smoke and steal. kept on stealing
big and little things until got 80 bad that
| would take any thing put my hands on.
But when took the butter they found me
out, and after had taken it, was collared
by one Of the police, then he took me to the
Mayors Office, where | was fined $6 20.
Then he took me to prison, and in here l
write this advice to other boys, that they
may take warning from it and always re-
member it.
Oh, boys, you had better take good advice
while you have q chance. Docs your faith
er and mother teach you. to steal? No, no,
do not think they do, for am sure mine
never did. They taught me to keep away
from bad company, but did not mind them.
So in Jail was my end. / call OH God for
assistance and help, that may never do
the like again"
Anybody acquainted with Mr.. Jones will
recognize the frankness Of this confession.
Before the editor stole the butter we learn
that he soaked himself for AZ hours in Lake
Erie, trying to soak the sin out VI his cor
poreal being, bat il wouldn't soften. The
coating OF sin was too much for such a
small body OF water. Let him try the
Ocean and his appeal for Divine assistance
will be answered.-Io'edo DdiIy RerieH.

The Sabbath Sch ool.

The Sabbath school is one Of the happi-
est conceptions Of modern times, and one ol
the most important Of the educational de-
psrtments Of the Church. II has become
an indispensable element in her practical
working. OF late years this Institution, has
received much attention, and hns been
greatly developed and perfected. DIt II
needs still more ofour attention, still more
Of our love and interest. Il has already
done much for the Church, but we believe
1t is capable Of doing vastly more 1t has
by no means been worked up to it's full pow.
er and capacity, nor have we availed our.
selves Of nearly all OF its resources as pow
erful adjunct to the educational work oI
both the Church and the country. We
have hitherto been rather experimenting
with II. Now, ii has proved itself to be an in
stitution OF great power and vast interest,
and the time has come to bring it forth fully
from the regions Of vague and doubtful
cmpiricism.-Bishop Wiley.

A War Story,

The following Characteristic war story Is
told by an Albanian: A body Of Stuart's
cavalry on their return FROM a raid were
passing the camp Of the Eighth Alabama.
They were struggling badly, and the rear Of
the column seemed to be completely fag-
ged out. The boys Of the Eighth were
'poking fun at the "buttermilk rangers,
&C." until some Of the cavalrymen thought
they could bear it no longer. One fellow
who bcstrode Rosindate and seemed to be
sitting on the ragged edge Of despair" q
hundred yards ut least behind the last of
his comrades, arose in hiS siirrups and ours
ed the infantry by platoons. He seemed
determined to drown in one continuous
vollcy Of curses the voices OF the footpads.
Martin Riley was staniing guard just by
the road. As the irate cayalryman APP
preached, Riley looked Linn kindly in the
face, and in a bland and sympathiling
voice. said: "Sce here, my friend, would
not be so mud with those fellows" The
cavalryman stopped cursing to hear what
this kind hearted man had to say, and Riley
added, "they are always hallooing at some
id fool"
