Mr.. Southford, Ohio, moved to suspend
the rules and pass resolution calling on
the Secretary of the Treasury for a state
ment of the money due from collectors of
Internal Revenue, who are not now in office,
since the organization Of the Bureau, with
the namesand amounts so due,with the date
of appointment and removal, and by whom
said collectors were appointed; adopted
also a resolution directing the Secretary of
War to report If any officer of the Army has
been promoted since 1874, in accordance
with the provisions Of the revised statutes;
adopted.
Mr.. Cox then moved to suspend the rules
and pass . resolution declaring that the
people of the United States constitute a ma
ton in the sense and to the extent and for
the purposes defined in the Federal consti-
tuition. That the Government of the United
States Is a fedeaal union and was founded
by the people of the several States transfer
ring certain rights and powers to the United
States Government which are defined and
limited by the Federal constitution, and
that these rights and powers cannot be en-

to the Constitution. That the several
States have the same rights as the General
Government and that local self government
by the States is absolutely necessary for the
preservation of the liberty of the citizens
and the preservation Of the Republican Gov

after singing the doxology, "Praiee
God from whom all blessings fow,''
and the usual behediclion, the exer-
ciees were closed, and all were in.
Vited to partake of the hospitality of
the noighborhood. The baskets were
brought out by the good ladies, and
we think that all present were abun
dainty refreshed by the eatables pre-
pared for the occasion. After par
taking Of these refreshments, and
enjoying social intercourse for about
an hour, the Sunday School children
re"assembled in the church and ell
tertained the spectators for about
three fourths of all hour in singing,
and then the crowd quietly dispersed
to their homes, all delighted with the
pr, cecdings of the day.
The design of such celebrations as
Mr.. jackson, we'll said, is to excite q
still deeper interest in the Sunday
School work. 1t is to be hoped that
such may be the eff ct of the ceIc-
bration at Sharon church. The sing
ing by the Sunday Schools, and the
music by the band was particularly
good, and added greatly to the inter
est Of the occasion. The pieces gon-
orally chosen by the band were well
adapted to the circumstances. We
think that the example Of the Pendle
ton hand, in 80 generously respond
ing to the request Of the friends Of
Sunday School work, is worthy of
commerdetion. While the singing
by the Sunday Schools was generally
good, and all performing together it
would he impossible to discriminate,
yet as the Bethany class led III these
performances, it Will MT be consid-
cred invidious to say that thoy per
formed this duty suprrbly. Young
Mr.. Newton presides over this class,
and we can truly cay that we have
mover witnessed superior exhbi-
tion Of perfection i'll musical perform,
ances. Go on, young ladies and
gentlemen in your efforts in this di-
rection, and may others profit by it,
until tho will of praise shall be heard
in all our churches, congregations
and families in st. aines of sweetest
harmony.

RALEIGH, N. O., Aug. 4, 1876.

DEAR SENTINEL AS all your many |
Democratic readers could not be
in your State and County
for the different Offices,
1 believe all true men of all parties
regardless of past differences, will
soon unite on the ticket put forth in
your County and State; they could
not be better or stronger.
With Wade Hampton as leader,
South Carolina will be redeemed in
November, if she is ever to be. Let
all men, high or low, rich or poor,
white or black, orally around the
aag," and give aid in raising the
down rodden rights Of the still
proud Palmetto State out Of the pres
ont bad hands into which she has
been forced. Many honest and good
men in South Carolina, like Alabama,
vigorously worked with the Radical
party, but Ike Alabamians, will or
have seen the error of their ways
and turn, before it is too late and
fight for victory in the Democratic
ranks, which is generally believed
will be in November, one of the
grandest victories ever seen on Anne
rican soil, or even in the world. Let
them remember that the expenses
OF the government for the past ten
years has been double what it was
for the proceeding seventy-five years.
Let them remember too, that the
consumer, mechanic. and laborer pays
this expense; this is easy enough for
blind negro to see.
The manufacturer manufactures
the tobacco, he puts on his stamps,
which he pays for. Tho merchant
buys it and pays for it, stamps profit
and all. The consumer buys it, pays
high for it, 80 the merchant may
make enough to pay back his money
which he paid the manufacturer for
the stamps. So with whiskey, the
man who drinks, pays the revenue,
Qf it is not blockade whiskey.) And
so with everything on which there
is a duty.
So the workman's wages is not
what they might be if his employer
did not have such heavy taxes to
pay.
A certain amount Of revenue is
necessary under any administration,
nincty-six thousand government Of
ficers are not necessary in these
United States. Half Of them are for
political purposes. Like one in the
mountains Of Western North Caro-
lima, when approached by stranger,
and in conversation, was asked what
his profession was? He replied that
he was q "Custom House oflicer!"
and not q navigablo stream nearer
than the Savannah River. The fact
was, he was an officer to watch ne"
groos and keep them welded to the
Radical party, as many of them arc.
One half of these officers it is said, do
not collect one halt the amount paid
them by the government, so their
charge is put on the people by tax"

CENTRAL STATION, Sept. 5, 1876.


Mr.. EDITOR: noticed in your last
issue piquant and newsy letter from
this little place, and possibly you
may think we ought to be satisfied
and not trouble you any more for
some time. Well, there is some truth
in that, but be generous and give us
the use of your columns for this let
ter, and l, for one will for some time
hereafter hold my peace.
On last Thursday night the debat-
ing club of this place gave an enters
tainment that they may well be
proud of, for it has elected univer-
sal praise. 1t consisted of "a number
of charades. Ending with laugh
able farce called the negro school.
Of course there was no Booths or
Januasheck Sin the tragic" Nor
was there any Bishops or Russel's in
"comics." But still for the expert
ence and the short time taken to res
hearse, it was a grand success. Miss
Estelle G-'s acting was inimitable.
In fact, it was what all actors should
strive TO personate-life itself. In
the cast of Rosc Thorn, she made one
realize, what frightful thorn a
temper is in young lady's character
And venture to say, that when
every -yonug lady present saw what
-Rose lost by not curbing her temper,
made resolution to draw q tight
rein upon their own in the future.
and 30 doing, gain what Rose lost, q
husband.
Miss Bette G. for the experience
she has had, did extraordinarily we'll.
1t was fate to be called upon to per-
senate a matron in each piece in
which she took q part. And I am
certain when she gets hold of q char
acter, in which she can throw her
heart it will give her a better chance
to display her powers. Under the
circumstances her rendition of Mrs.
Myrtle, was splendid. Sue seemed
to be imbued with the spirit of the
age when she advises Fannie Myrtle
to marry for money. But I am glad
to say that Fannie ignored the coun"
sci of her mother followed the
promptings of her heart, and gave
her hand to poor, but honest Paul.
The character of Mrs. Myrtle re-
quires delicate handling, there is
such quick transposition from the
shrewed, careful mother to the fash
ionable worldly woman. There was
also other young ladies that did as
we'll as the two named. But it would
make this letter too long to speak Of
them separately.
OF the male actors, [ can say they
even disappointed themselves. With
hundreds Of bright eyes, ready to
smile, and fair checks to dimplo with
laughter. With this encouragement,
how could they do otherwise than
try to make ''ihose n1aidens merry"
They did their best, and succeeded,
and as proof of their success, they
have been repeatedly requested to
have another soon. [ am satisfied
that there is material here, out of
which can be formed a perfect the,
atrical corps.
Now a lew words in support of
these exhibitions, and l am done. Do
they not in manner show the Gus.
toms ofthe people in it's many differ
ent phases, and not only represent
their character, their tastes, senti-
ments and opions, but has q rotroac~
tive effect upon the same. Do we
not need such a society? Has it not
