The Pioneer Press, with great head lines,

in favor OF speedy resumption Of specie

BS~ That was a most disgraceful act of
the New York Union League Club on Thurs
day night last, the blackballing of Secretary
Bristow. No man stands higher with men of
all parties in the country than he. Not a
word can be truthfully said against either his
honor, his honesty or his patriotism, and yet
ten men of the New York Union League
were found SO contemptibly mean as to say
by their ballots that he was not a fit social
associate for them. And possibly, after all
they were right possibly at the very time when
he was Drawing the displeasure of relatives
and friends by marching forth to fight the
battles of his country they were drawing the
life's blood of that country by depreciating its
credit, speculating in its necessary supplies,
selling it rotten ships and shoddy clothing
for the brave men in front, and urging on the
war only that they might the more readily
grow rich out Of its necessities Possibly
again, while Secretory Bristow was heading
off raids upon the treasury in shape of frauds,
and bringing whisky ring and other thieves
to grief and their just places in the peniten-
tiary, these black ballers were interfered with
by his persistence, and made to tremble at
the simple contemplation Of the man, and
hence took this method to ensure their being
secured from his presence This is more
than likely indeed, it is said that the man
who inaugurated the casting Of the black balls
took this method to spite the Secretary for
having stood by the treasury and his oath to
protect 1t, against an attempt to inflict upon
it a square, baldfaced robbery This being
the case every right minded man will feel
that the Secretary was more honored in his
defeat than he would have been in success.
1t is no honor for any man to belong to club
which numbers among its members such
parasites who do not hesitate to bring within
the social circle their mean, contemplate
spites, and the sooner the league weeds them
out the sooner it will redeem its lost credit,
and render itself worthy the respect of the
honest, honorable men of the land. In this
contest the will of one hundred and eighty
honorable high minded patriots was overruled
by scum comprising ten votes. This shows
that the sooner the effective strength of the
former is employed successfully in roofing
out the latter, the sooner will the league
deserve and receive the respect OF patriots
everywhere.

CENTENNIAL DAY, "wednesday Of last
week was duly observed in our 'burg.
Bunting futtered with perfect looseness.
Many places Of business were decorated pro

our town present quite a gala appearance

was raised in honor of the day. In the even

a small cannon, stationed in front of II ess
Bros, cigar store lent its thunders to give
emphasis and eclat to the occasion. Capt.
Jack, in front of Hess Bros, store seemed to
enjoy the fun amazingly, as did many who
were net so stoical in character The boys,
on their march, halted in front Of the JEFF.
Office and gave US taste both Of the quality
Of the music and extent of their repertoire
The day glorifcation closed with an extensive
bon fire near the Burnett House. Store
boxes, in consequence, were in such demand
that none were left to grace our side walks
with their beautifying presence next morning
No accident marked the days proceedings
And now let US think, and act fast, about
Centennial 4th Of July. Let it be an ole
fashioned one too-one which, as Johr
