ORR GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Last Monday evening a large and enthusi-
astic meeting was held in the Court House,
for the purpose of making arrangements to
celebrate the approaching 4th Of July, the
Centennial Of our National existence. The
meeting was called to order by Dr. jackson
Lantz, who was chosen President, with A.
o. Greenwald as Vice President and Benz
f. Butts, Secretary.
After stating the Object Of the meeting,
on motion the President appointed the fol
lowing named gentlemen as a committee Of
arrangements Frank Hess, John @. Keller,
Capt Bennett, A. G. Jansen, Silas Angle,
Il. ". Marsh 5. d. Robson, y. III. Shlter,
Peter Born and Capt Coombs.
On motion Joseph Matlack was appointed
Treasurer; y. Ruster, Linford Marsh aud j..
:. Williams a committee 10 solicit funds.
On motion Of G. S. Detrick, resolution
was offered, that the committee OF arrange
meGts extend a special invitation to the
various townships IN the county to take an
active part in the exercises of the day, by
each township sending a delegation to join
IN the procession and thus assist US in max
ing the celebration of this 4th the largest
ever held in Monroe county.
On motion Of ID. 5. Lee vote Of thanks
was rendered tie Stroudsburg Cornet Band
for the excellent music furnished before and
during the meeting.
On motion the meeting adjourned to meet
again next Monday evening at the Court
House, when it is hoped that general turn
out from all parts Of the county will be
present to complete the arrangements for a
grand jubilee on our Centennial 4th.
We would not have this celebration got
ten UP solely by, and in the interest of, our
landlords and saloon keepers. Far from it.
We would have celebration gotten up by
our whole people regardless of politics, sect
or even caste-in which every man would put
his shoulder to the wheel, and his hands in
his pocket if need be, to make it Il success
beyond compare. We would have this be-
cause we look upon it as a religious duty of
every citizen Of these United States to do
every thing in his power to keep alive the
spirit Of patriotism among us; and what is
SO well calculated to do this as proper OBJ
seryance Of our nations holidays, and especial
ly the anniversary Of the declaration OF
American Independence. We know a spirit
has seized upon the boys of few years ago,
which has wholly stripped them of their
juvenility, and DOW, in ideas and movement
at least, made them TO assume the man
ner of Patriarchs, and is rapidly leading
them into the realm of fossilism but there
is no reason why they should not, and evey
reason why they should shake off this fol
this year at least, and be boys again until
they have done full bonors to the hundredth
anniversary of the day on which the deeds Of
the noble ifty-six signers of the immortal
declaration shook the world from It's circum
ference to its center. There is no reason why
we should not in wisdom, and the fear oi
God do this thing, and go to work at once
TO prepare for it.

THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1875.

IN few days more the Republican Con
vention will be in session at Cincinnati. Nc
one can certainly foretell its action, but it i;
reasonable to suppose that men fully COM
petent and worthy viii be its nominees. We
can conceive of no man who would so fully
Ell these conditions in candidate for the
Presidency as honest JOHN T. HARTRANFT,
Governor of Pennsylvania. In no position
in which he has been placed has he failed in
meeting public expectation, and it would be
safe to predict for his administration a bril-
liancy such as but few Presidents have sue
ceedcd in securing. Nor are the prospects
that the successful presentation of his name
before the convention is not within proba-
bility. Other States recognize his honorable
and practicable characteristics, and his
nomination would not in the least surprise
Us. The convention certainly could not do
u better piece Of work, nor one more sure to
bring success to the Ticket in November

Judge THRooP, and Wm. DEAN, are still
enjoying their Scranton visit.
THAT response in reply to an invitation to
partake of a treat at the Burnett House,
last Tuesday. was entirely uncalled for, and
only disclosed the long ears of the gentleman
who uttered ii. Shame.
During the visit of the Washington Brass
Band, on Tuesday last, we received a call
from Maj. HERRIcK, j. T. LANGsTAFF and
Mr.. STEWART, all genial fellows, always vel

inadvertently omitted in our last issue.

Our REusEcaI Visitors.

The long talked Of visit to our beautiful
borough, by the Washington Brass Band,
Washington, II. j., was made last Tuesday.
They were met at the depot by Beethoven
Band accompanied by committee of cur
citizens, as follows: Capt. Bennett, ID. 4.
Brown, d. S. Lee, Esq, a. ID. Melick, D..
H. McCarty, Simon Fried, Henry Dulett,
David Keller, 3. L. Morey, and NJ. \. DE

John Z. Langstaf. Samuel Stewart, j. B.
Thompson, G. Lunger, II. S. Croft, Jno. NJ.
Wyckof. o. B. Sigley, Editor Washington
Star, Peter r. Weller, all prominent citizens
of Washington After disembarking from
the train they all boarded the street cars and
were brought to the Old Grave Yard when
they got off, formed in order and marched
up town, headed by Beethoven Band. Ar
irving in front of Keller Bros, halt was
made when Nj. A. De l.. Van Horn, Esq,
delivered an address welcoming the Wash
ingtou boys to our midst. Maj Herrick. in
behalf of the Brass Band and guests accom-
panying them, responded in his usual bril-
liant style after which introductions, hand
shaking, &C. were in order. While thus at
leisure committee of ladies appeared with
a bountiful supply of button-hole boquets,
furnishing each member of the band and
their friends with one. As music was to be
the order Of the day, both bands formed in
line, marching through all of our principal
streets discoursing most excellent music along
the whole line Of march, halting in front Of
Beethoven Bands quarters, when they re-
heved themselves Of their instruments, ali
taking different directions, for a stroll through
our village. About O clock they were sum
moned together by the beating of the drum,
formed into line and marched to the Burnett
House to partake OF a banquet provided
for them by number of our citizens After
disposing Of the good things that there await
ed them, an hour or two was devoted to visi-
ting friends and forming new acquaintances
which seemed to be INDUCED in with much
satisfaction by our visitors from over the riv
er. Several pieces were played, by both
bands combined, in q mastery manner and
elected the warmest praise from their nu-
merous admirers.
At 5 p. N. our visiting friends were escor-
ted to the depot by Beethoven Band and a
committee of citizens. where they took their
departure, no doubt carrying with them the
most pleasant recollections Of their visit to
Stoudsburg
The Washington Band is composed of a
clever set of fellows, all gentlemen, conduct
ing themselves as such while here, and
should they visit US again we bespeak for
them a cordial reception.

ITO SATISFY our excellent friend of the
Stroudsburg ,jeBers0nidR we will say that
S7e regard " l. Lynott, the AssemblymaD,
who claimed to be a Democrat, and was ex-
PEELED, as a scoundrel, and well deserving
the treatment he received He will now
very naturally gravitate over to the party
where his habits will entitle him to consider
alton ard fayors. Don't you remember
friend Schoch that Simon Cameron used to
claim that he was a Democrat? Governor
Hartraft not 50 long ago made the same pre-
tensions. So did Ben Butler, and lot of
other chaps, whose names will ever occupy
10 enviabie place in history. Add Lynott to
the list. and when We discover more rogues
in our ranks we viii kick them out that you
may increase your forces Friend Theodore,
welcome them. '-Eoston Argus.
AFTER 81 the lamp has ceased to burn"
along comes our friend of the Argus with
the above vaporiags, by way of condemna-
ton Of the disgraced Lynott Lynott does
not naturally gravitate'' outside Of his old
party lines friend, bat remains leader
among the Democracy of Luzerne, without
thought Of deserting his brethren. Nor
woald he suit among Us. We might, it Is
true, By clearing him Of his Democratic love
for stealing and bribes make man of him,
II It were not that he is 50 thoroughly i'm
hued with It's principles as to make him a
hopeless case, and Of such is not the Repub-
licau party composed. We do remember
friend that Simon Cameron, Governor Hart
raHtJ and Ben. Butler not only claimed to
but did belong to the Democratic party
We remember, too, that about the time an
editor Of the Argus, and the proprietor Of
the C0TrespoRdeRt were sneaking around en-
deayoring to find currant bushes under which
TO hide from the vengeance Of a community,
outraged by the disloyalty of themselves and
papers, these men were earnestly laboring
70 preserve the Union which the argus and
C0rrespoaoeat then would have destroyed
and left the party because within It's ranks
disloyalty was the rule and loyalty the ex-
ception. The three have since rendered ex-
celleut service to the country, and we are sur
prised to see the Argus descending from its
hitherto honorable position to beslime them
with so odious . COMPARISON.
Now that the Ayglss has disposed Of Ly-
mott by bis condemnation, we would like to
know what he proposes touching the immac-
ulate Speaker Kerr The Speaker is under
a most deplorable cloud and calls loudly for
friends to the rescue. IF Belknap deserves
impeachment, how much less punishment
should be neetcd out to the champion Com
mission broker, whose terms are " for %
Lieutenancy $780, cash in hand !"
