For the Democratic .idrocaie.
A Pleasant Day.

Either through the anticipation Of many
pleasant greetings, or desire 10 exhibit our
patriotism, the 10th Of August was day for
which many patiently waited-some impati-
emily, think. Had been aware of the effort
put forth by the people of Oak Orchard in
behalf Of the occasion, | should have been
assured Of good time, and consequently,
would have been more solicitous myself to
attend However, ! was very agreeably dis
appointed, as we do not always realize more
than we expect. Ii was not my privilege to
be present before noon, at which time, Judging
from the manner in which chicken, pies, wa
termelons and peaches were dispatched, came
to the conclusion that il was useless to inquire
into their welfare for the time being, but
'',hought of the FUTURE Dinner being over,
the first intimation that greeted my ears for
the afternoon exercises was the sound of
horn, the meaning Of which soon became OBJ
yious as witnessed the Fastening footsteps
OF the members belonging to the Woodsboro'
Band. Although prompt to the signal given
by their skilled leader, Prot. Smith, vet not
any more so than the eager crowd by which
they were surrounded, especially when about
to playa fact well calculated TO suggest
the idea of how highly their splendid music
was appreciated. After having listened with
eager delight to their playing, we were very
pleasantly entertained by Prof Smith at the
organ, who favored us with several selr ,tions,
one of which, the chorus entitled ''lf you
want to talk awhile come in and shut the
door, was quite ludicrous. Mrs. j. Nicode-
mus, Of Sans Creek, was next called to the
organ, and with :he aid of Miss c. Barnes,
Messrs. j. Klees, W, Ecker, p. Dudrer, and
many other prominent singers, as well as 10y,
ers OF music, did much to render the singing
of the different Sabbath Schools very pleasant
and attractive.
The Oak Orchard Band Of course was pre-
sent and performed very active part during
the day. With the above named bands, incn.
ding the Union Bridge and New Market
Bands, we certainly enjoyed gala day.
Speeches, appropriate to the occasion were
made by DIR. Simpson and others, in which
the greatness Of the American people, as a
nation, was discussed in an able and eloquent
manner. May the God, in whom we trust,
ever continue 10 guide aud direct us as nation.
The good order and moral conduct during
the day, was particularly noticeable.
Taking all into consideration, the Oak Or.
chard Centennial Jubilee was success, and
highly indicative Of good management and
taste on the part Of all concerned.
The ladies of Oak Orchard, Sans Creek,
Unionviile, etc, we're present, and by their
fine appearance and lady-like ciyiliiy did
credit TO the occasion.
Twilight was fast approaching ere the vast
crowd began to dispense, leaving behind them
numerous little groups of ladies and gentle.
men, who seemed reluctant to quit the shady
grove in which they had spent the day so
pleasantly. r.

In accordance with the resenchmeni
Legislation Of Congress, about lao employees
Of the Interior Department and thirty mine
clerks ia the Post-offiec Department will
be discharged on the 10Th Of October next.
About $50 are To 60 out Of the Treasury
department.
The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
states that the reduction in the force Of
gaugers win be made gradually-,hose de-
signated for discharge will be dropped
when their present duties are fulfilled.
II is asserted at the Internal Reycnae
Bureau that the reduction made in that
Bureau by act of Congress viii make the
collection Of the whisky tax impossible, -
and that additional detectives will have to
be employed, who must be provided for
in the deficiency bill next winter. This
is all CANNON. Many Of the so called
detectives have been worse than useless,
and the number of the employees in all
departments Of the public service is so
great that they arc absolutely in each
others way, Congress has applied the
pruning knife of retrenchment, aud the
next session win be very ehary about pass
ing deficiency bills
The Commissioners Of the District of
Columbia on Saturday discharged forty
one clerks and other employees, and re-
voked the order setting apart $500 per
month to enable the Board of Health to
furnish medicines and physicians for the
poor. 1t would be very interesting in
quiry to find out how much of this expen-
diture of $4,000 per annum the poor got
in the way of medicines The plants of
these Washington officials over the loss of
their pickings are very touching. But
the tax payers Of the country will be bet
ter able to appreciate the services of the
Democratic House, when they understand
the full measure of retrenchmeut that body
has made, and which never would have
been made had not the people elected
majority of Democrats to Congress at the
last election in 1874.

It is claimed that the clause in the Leg.
islative Appropriation bill intended to
prohibit assessments for political purposes
in the Executive departments Of the Gov
eminent "amounts to nothing" This
clause forbids Government officers or en-
ployes from giving to or receiving from
other officers or employees any money or
other valuable consideration for political
purposes but it dogs not forbid other
persons (members of campaign commit
tees, for instance) from making such col
lections. The clerks of one of the depart
ments have already been called upon for
political contributions to the extent of two
per cent. Of their salaries.
