On Thursday, gath inst, there will be a
grand reception at the New Jersey State
Building, ON which occasion Governor Bedle
will receive the Mayors and municipal officers
OF the cities and towns, editors and proprie-
tors of the newspapers of the State, also all
the citizens of the State, and an natives Of
tho State resident elsewhere. The Philadel-
phia Ledger speaking Of the occasion says
The New Jerscyu1cn have the right idea of
the fitness Of things In setting apart special
day as emphatically the Jerseyman's day at
the Centennial Exhibition" That day Is to
be celebrated on the Gath Of August, and is
to be marked by the delivery of an Grafton by
Hon. Abraham Browning, than whom there
is none worthier or better suited to do his
toric justice to the subject. The State which
contains the fields of Trenton, Princeton,
Monmouth, Red Bank, and other of lesser
fame and consequences, and which is now alive
with Industrial establishments and with monu-
day over and beyond her merit as having come
up to the support of the international Exhi-
bition In the doubtful days of its history by
her public and corporate subscription of a
hundred thousand dollars. There is not o
county Of the State, from Cumberland to the
northeast boundary on the Hudson, but has
its historic memorials connected with the Re-
volution aud we may expect the day now
set apart as the Jerseymans Day at the
Centennial to be celebrated with spirit
worthy of the old Jersey line," and of the
patriotism of those who spilled the tea at
Greenwich, and turned the tide of battle at
Trenton, Princeton and Monmouth. There
are other States who could and should make
special mark by memorial day. Which will
be the next to move :"

ticulars Of the days programme will be found

ON the occasion. Mr. ]. E. Peyton was in
this city, yesterday, for the purpose of con-
sulting with Mayor Sergeant, the Council and
prominent citizens, in regard to the represen-
tation from here. 1t is hoped that very
large number of our people will attend on
that day. Excursion tickets will be sold by
the Pennsylvania r. r. to parties of so for
So each to parties of 300 or more at $1.75
and to parties of 500 or more at $3.50. In

tETTER from TEXAS.

WACO, Texas, August 9TH, 1876.
Here we are in the clone STAR State-the
land so greatly abhorred by most of oui
northern friends-but really the garden
spot of the South and thinking, perhaps,
that it will be of some interest to the readers
of the RECORD to hear something about this
section of the South, L will endeavor to adj
dress you few lines presenting feeble de.
scription of Waco and vicinity.
Waco, the county-seat of McLennan, is sit
uated upon the bank of the Brazos river, one
hundred miles from Austin, the Capital oil
the State, and at the present time contains
between eight and nine thousand inhabitants
1t has churches, schools, manufactures and
railroads-and in fact possesses every adj
vantage for becoming one of the most beauti-
full and thriving towns in the State. The
Waco Tap Railroad, branch of the Texas
Central; terminates here, and affords speedy
outlet for the products of the Upper couutes.
The people are generous and kind, and are
ready to welcome emigration from tile North
at any time the people may feel disposed to
abandon the fear of Certain death" and
Starvation" SO frequently uttered by pre-;
JUDGED correspondents of tile northern press.
McLenDan countyi is one Of the most wealthy
in the State. The land is black, very rich
and well watered. and generally produces
good crops of corn, wheat, rye, oats and cot
ton. Land is worth about twenty-five or
thirty dollars per acre in this vicinity, but of
course can be purchased in other localities
for less sum. We want more emigration
here to occupy this sea of land, and will ven
ture to say, that any one who has an inclina-
ton to settle in this State will never regret
the step should it be taken. In my next
will tell you "What Know About Stock
raising" Rover.

To elect Hayes would produce as complete
change in the Cabinet and personnel of the
Government as the election of Tilden.-
But Hayes would fill the empty places with
Republicans, and Tilden with Democrats
And bow to put practical question to sensi-
BILE men : Does any one really believe the
Democratic party furnishes better--perhaps
hnngrier and more clamorous, from long fast

push for and get the offices under a Democrat
ic Administration, would be better, or even
as good as those with whom Mr.. Hayes would
naturally surround himself with This re-

MORE FfetRFs. The closing of the ma
tional accounts for the fiscal year ending June
80 1876 by the Secretary of the Treasury, af-
fords some more statistics which are of ill.,
terest and significance to the American peo-
pie. 1t is shown that the aggregate receipts
for the year were $267, 482, 039, and the ag-
gregate expenditures only $258, 459, 7Q7, show
ing net balance in favor of the government
of the snug sum of 500, 022, 242. How does
Mr.. Tilden's charge that the government was
squandering the substance of the country and
living beyond its income, appear before these
official figuresp The expenditures are far be-
low the estimates Of the Secretary, and prove
careful scrutiny and economy In managing
the affairs OF the government on the part of
the administration. The result sadly inter-
feres with the arguments of the Democrats of
the House in arraignment of the Republican
party for extravagance, and will necessitate a
general revision of their statistics. At one
swoop 1t completely knocks away the basis on
which their calumnious superstructures were
reared.
BY way of comparison and in order to show
the steady reductions made in expenditures
during President Grants entire administra-
tion, the annexed table showing the net ex-
pendtures of the government by fiscal years,
Is compiled from the official figures
1860. $500, 865, 27S 1873. $500, 345, 24U

1872. .....277,517, 1903 S76,.....25s, 47y, 797
The above facts show net saving in the
reduction of annual expenditures during
President Grants administration of $63, 405,
4Sl, an average annual reduction in the ordi-
nary expenditures of the government of over
80, 900, 600.
On March 1, 1869, the principal of the pub
lie debt was 1895, 463, 260, and on August l.,
1875, it was zoos, 301, 81, showing a reduc-
ton of $427, 16l, 949. The average annual re-

STOCKTON LITERARY SOCIETY .-l<MR. ED1-
TORI stated in my last that hoped to re-
port progress, and / can, too. On last Fri
day evening we had very interesting meet

tertaining to any one interested in having a
good debate.
Our society was called to order by the Sec
rotary 1.-THE president being absent) and DR..
0. Fl. Sproul was called to the chair, and after
the regular business was transacted we pro-
ceeded to debate the question " Resolved that

(captain), G. Wolyerton, C. s. Hurley, Asa
Hunt and Jacob Best. In the negative
Joseph Chamberlain tcaptain), H. G. Bovine,
A. Mettler, A. w. Miller and S. Walrath.
Aftera spirited fight with the tongue) some
using iron guns and some wooden ones the
judges rendered a unanimous decision in favor
of the affirmative. Y
The question chosen for the next meeting
was Resolved, that the Indians have suffered
more from the whites than the Negroes have"
Messrs. Cook and Hunt were appointed judges
and Messrs Fisher and Wolvelton captains,
and thus ended our last meeting.
