out that his share Of the national debt IL

to the secretary Of the treasury. lie calls
on other "patriots" to figure out their
shares and pay up also. This Is one way Of
paying the national debt. An unknown
person In Ohio has another one. Mrs.

those who properly seek it," He argues
that the privilege Of the ballot-box should
be based on fitness and not on simple ex.
istepce-that our fathers made dread
full blunder when they instituted unre.
stricted suffrage and that the blunder
must be repaired. not by widening the
circle Of voters until II includes women
at the polls, but by restricting 1t to voters
who can read and write and who possess
q property qualification Of not less than
one thousand dollars. Mr.. Swing Is moi
certain that this Is the way out OF 1.-THE
wilderness" but Is certain that "a reform
must begin at the ballOt.box and tina,
the crisis Is at hand and Is Of deep i'm

"Look Before You Leap, "

EDITOR ARGUS: In your last issue was
an article signed ~" which complained
that q woman had been sentenced to u
days imprisonment for getting drunk.
Now the simple fact is, that woman
was complained offor maintaining pub
lie nuisance; she was convicted ard SEN
tence was withheld for a number Of
weeks, when the woman was brought into
court again, charged with having commit
ted an assault and battery the Justice
then imposed a fine Of $40 and costs OF
Court upon the woman for the previous
charge, or be committed, In default Of pay
ment to jail until paid by due course Of
law, and not on a charge Of being drunk.
There are in this town few morbid phi
lanthropists whose sympathies are always
in favor of those who violate tho law
such people are those who rent cheap ten
ements for disreputable purposes. In the
future those wishing to furnish the COM
munity, through the press, with regard to
the doings OF the Justices Court, would
do well to consult the records OF said
Court (which are always open for inspec-
tion) where the facts In all cases which
come before that Court can be ascertained.

tons each.

On a recent Sabbath FIVE thousand
people assembled in the Brooklyn
tabernacle to hear DR.. Talmage's
sermon ON the Bible in public schools.
He denounced all men and all sects
that would take the Bible out of the
public schools, and said that it
would never be done while enough
of Plymouth rock was left to furnish
flint to make the fires Of true patri-
otism burn. He was frequently ap-
pIauded. In the course Of the SER
mon he said he saw some politicians
present, whom be knew by their
bloodshot eyes and lecherous lips.
They would go down to where all
liars, thieves, etc. go-to that eter-
nifty where Tweed and other politi-
clans viii go. He had heard that
Tweed had taken a steamship and
gone away. BE hoped that when
they were out some 1900 miles from
Liverpool they would put him in a
life-boat and give him pair of oars,
so that he might work his passage.
The Ministerial Union of San
Francisco have invited Moody and
Sankey to visit this coast.

the occurrences which have taken place
within the last few days. The people Of
this place celebrated Christmas by Christ
mas Tree on which was to be seen great
quantities OF gifts, some Of them comprls.
ing gold watches and chains; after the
presents were distributed the fantastic toe
was tripped until the early hours ofmorn.
Then came New Years, which was cele-
brated in good style by the meeting Of citi-
zens at the residence Of our kind friend,
Mr.. VIM. Bishop, who, by his affability
and gentlemanly treatment, contributed
greatly to the success of the evenings en-
tertainment. Everything went off In
coed style aud everybody felt elated and
in high glee with songs and speeches Tor
a successful year in 1876. One good trait
was to be seen, there was no drunkenness
and disonieTly conduct, and an earnest
wish is, that our friends all over the Sound
will follow the example set by the citi-
zens of this community. Chimacum is i'm
proving every day. There is a good pros
pect of societies being formed by which
the present generation now growing up
may be OF great service to their country.
Now we must bid adleu to old Santa
