GOING rO CHURCH.

Some go TO church Just for a walk,
Some go there for fashions sake,
While Others go, a show TO make,
Some go there, 80 that they may.
Their dress and jeweny display,
Some go there because they sing,
And some to soethe their sufcrings,
Some go there to criiicise
And show themselves most wondrous wise,
Some go there because they think
They're handsome as the rose or pink,
And go TO show their pretty face,
Or else display their queenhke grace,
Seine 20 there TO show their curls,
Some go there TO see the girls,
Some 20 there TO catch beau,
And some, for what, do not know.
Some 90 TO sec who wears, 20 proud,
The prettiest bonnet IN the crowd,
While some, perhaps, so proud have grown,
They only wish to show their own.
Some go there TO let folks see
A pattern OF morality;
And make folks thilk, a saint they are,
Because the christian garb they wear.
Some go there to show their dress,
Small feet, a shawl, or something less,
Some go, In others, fault to find,
Yet think, 10 virtue there inclined,
" Some 90 there to doze and nod
But few go there to worship God"
Yet every one, will have In view
Himself, when speaking OF this few.

Over three thousand Russians of all

Turkey has promised to distribute one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars among
the Bulgarian sufferers.
A telegram from the city of Mexico
states that general Mejia, the minister of

The London Times thinks the temper

There is another revolution in progress
in the vicinity Of Matamoras, Mexico. The

Though accounts of some Turkish out
RACES are unhappily too well established to
be doubted, a fair idea of the proceedings OF
the Turkish force is not to be gathered from
the fearful tales so carefully collected. An
English gentleman, who passed through the
Servian district lately visited by the Turks,
reports that he had many opportunities of
talking with the people whose homes had
been altogether in the hands of the enemy,
and he met with not single case Of gross
outrage. Before the publication of the or
der rendering soldiers mutilating themselves
liable to the penalty Of death or imprison
ment for life, many Servians had already
been executed for that offense; on one occa.
sion as many as forty in one batch were ex'
ecuted. There were hospitals, it is said, in
which more than one-half the patients are
of this class.

1t was found in July last that Tweed
was in Santiago de Cuba, having passed
there from Havana. General Jouvellar
was applied to by the American consul
to have Tweed secured and sent 10 the
United States. General Jouvellar was
quite willing, even in the absence Of an
extradition treaty, to oblige the Ameri-
can government in return for their cour-
tcsy in Arquette's case some years ago.
Tweed, however, was apprised in Santi-
ago of his impending danger and sailed
for Vigo, Spain, July 9th, on board the
sailing vessel Carmen. Mr.. Gushing
thereupon notified the Spanish govern
ment Of the fact, and found them willing
to arrest Tweed and return him to Cuba,
or deliver him up to the American con-
sui. Every precaution was taken by the
Spanish government to secure Tweed's
arrest in any Tprt Of Spain, or on any
coast-line by ahich he might arrive.

A CORRESPONDENT of the French
Journal L'Explorateur has lately shown
that the population of France, instead of
increasing, is diminishing, and what is of
more importance still, he quotes figures
to show that the French arc deteriorating

ion was Ss,OOO0OO and in 1872 it was
5000 900, and taking into account the
- OF Alsace and Lorraine the popula-
tou is seen to have declined by nearly
10000 in six years. In 1873 the
umber of persons who reached the age
dtwenty years was SOs,SlO; in 1874,
A264 in 1875, 2s3,76s; and in 1876,

he was re- elected by an increased ma
jority. Through his influence, bills
were passed such as afforded the desir-
ed protection, rendering his steward
ship acceptable to his constituents.
The following year he was reelected
and chosen speaker of the Assembly
He occupied commanding position IL
the House, and reflected credit, not alone
upon himself, but upon the city also.
Democrats then began to discover, as
they thought, that they had made a
mistake. Mr. Hall was Republican
representative from Democratic dis
trict, and although in his three years
service in the legislature he accom-
plished so much for the city, securing
the passage of special acts which were
essential to our existence almost, yet
all this passed for naught Mr.. Hall
was sent adrift and the city has since
then been indulging in the luxury of
representatives of third and fourth rate
capacity. But they have been Demo
Gratis, and that was all that the Demo
cratic party cared to know.
What more need be said to demon
strate the point we make, that the
Democratic party is either unable or
unwilling to srapple with the great
questions which so vitality concern US.
We have shown that whenever man
has exhibited capacity for good in the
direction named the Democratic party
! has killed him or SO crippled him as
to destroy his usefulness. The exam
Piles we have cited, which could be
multiplied, are but two or three of the
many that the past history Of the
| Democratic party furnishes as proof of
what we assert. Messrs. Cole, Dennis
and Hall are but three Of the many in
dividuals whom the Democratic party
has ostracizeA because its wire pullers
and politicians demanded it. They
have cared more for their party than
for the city, and as it ever has been,
SO it always will be. It would seem
as if the day for such fooiishness should
pass away. When the people of Wa
tertown, who have some other God
than the Democratic party, can be
made to see that the salvation of the
city can never be secured through that
organization, then they may reasonably
look for brighter future. The man
ayers of that party have shown their
utter. ineapacity for solving the prob
lem Of successful municipal govern
ment, and the sooner the scepter departs
from their hands the better it will be
for the city.

The next Union Republican National
Convention. for the nomination of candi-
dates for President and Vice President of
the United States, will be held in the city
of Cincinnati on Wednesday, the l4th day
of June, 1876, at Il O'Clock noon, and will
consist of delegates from each state equal
to twice the number of itssenators and rep
resentatiyes in Congress, and of two dele
gates from each organized territory ana the
District of Columbia,
In calling the conventions for election OF
delegates, the committees of the several
states are recommended to invite all Repub-
Hcan electors aud all other voters, without
regard to past political differences or prev
ious party affiliations, who are opposed to
factional issues, and desire to promote
friendly feeling ana permanent harmony
throughout the country, by maintaining
and enforcing all the constitutional rights
of every citizen, including full and tree ex-
ercise of the right of suffrage, without IN
timidation and without fraud, who are IN
favor of continued prosecution and punish
ment of all Official dishonesty, and OF an
economical administration Of the govern

GERS: who are in favor of making such re-
forms In the government as ca poiiehoo iA'''J

to impairing the credit of the nation by de-
preciating any of its obligations, and IN
favor of sustaining in every way the ma
tional faith and financial honor; who hold

The editor of the Jefferson Banner
has not found time yet to throw any
light upon the dark and dubious oper-
ations connected with the expenditure
Of the contingent fund of his late
chief. ex-Goy. Taylor. The ex-Private
Secretary is supposed to be implicated
In the matter in a way that is not en-
sirely creditable to him, and an explain
alton should be given at once if any
can be made. Until this is done, he
should be careful in his assaults upon
others. He last week INDUCED In a
TRADE against Hon. L. B. CasWell,
having no better foundation for the
same than a Washington dispatch to
the Chicago Times. A more senseless
mess OF trash could not we'll be con-
eeived. Tbs only correct statement in
the entire article, is that Mr.. Caswell
was at home three or four days in the
month of February. He was here on
professional business entirely, and his
visit had no reference whatever to
whisky matters, the "stifiing Of inves
legations" or "the pledging of i'm
munity to federal Office holders if a
delegation was secured in the Republi-
can State Convention for certain
presidential candidate" as was stated
In the Times dispatch referred to, and
reiterated in the Banner. Equally
s4boshy" is the statement of the latter
paper that BOSS Reyes, OF Madison"
made pilgrimage to Washington to
further the scheme of which it speaks.
The fact is that Mr.. Keyes has not
been in Washington for over year
past. But why spend time, and waste
space in exposing the Banners assef-
tions? We do not believe that any
body, even the editor himself, consid-
ers them entitled to credit. saa

All is not lovely with the Amalga-
mationists. There is no end to the
examinations and recriminations which
are being INDUCED in by the warning
elements. The Union League claims
that it's ticket would have Jared better
had it formed no alliance with the Con-
federates. who proved to be an incum-
brance hanging upon it like a dead
weight. On the other hand the Con-
federates declare that the League, by
refusing to withdraw from the field
"the poor mans friend" for alderman,
in the 4th ward, brought defeat to
them, not only in that ward, but also
in the Third. The League retorts by
saying that the Confederates insisted
upon the Lions share Of the Offices,
though bringing to the partnership
but limited portion of the capital
stock Of the joint concern, and that
their demands, SO wholly unreasonable,
could not be complied with. On the
whole there does not seem to be that
affection for each other which would
naturally be expected after so much
billing and cooling as was INDUCED in
by the high contracting parties prior to
the election; aud divorce proceedings
will probably be instituted at an early
day. Then they may we'll exclaim,

We OF Mississippi sh3uli fe,l
proud OF our distinguished Repre-
IN the National House.
the press all over the country is
praising their gallant efforts i'll the
cause of Ietrenchment, reform, and
the establishment of the govern
ment as laid down by our fore
fathers. The praise of Lamar has
been sounded from the Pacific to
the Atlantic and from Maine to the
Gulf. He is recognized and hon
ored as the very head and front of
the Democratic House, and his
name has become distinguishing
honor to the State he represents.
Hooker and Singleton have both
made their mark as patriots and
statesmen, and now Money comes
to the front and shows that his con-
stituents elected the right man for
their National Representative. The
Washingto Gazette is IA paper
above flattery, and compliment
in it's columns may we'll make Mr..
Money feel proud of his effort. 1t
says:
The speech of Mr.. Money, of
Mississippi, on the Hawaiian treaty
his maiden speech in the House
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS him
an attentive hearing, and entitled
him 10 that which he rec, ived, the
warm congratulations Of his fellow
members on his successful debut.
Without agreeing entirely with the
views of Mr.. Money upon the ques-
tiOn of the treaty, it is no more than
just to say that his arguments were
delivered with clearness and CAN
dor which give promise Of superior
usefulness and influence as legis-
lator when time and experience
shall have developed his powers
and given him facility in their eX-
ercise. 1t is not often that IL
member of the American Congress
ventures to express opinions or to
recommend measures that by any
stretch of construction or exagSeri-
tion of imaginary interests may
seem to conflict with any part OF
his section or portion OF his constit-
uency. A man physically well con-
structcd, of sound mind, even tenn
per, correct habits aud good prin-
ciples, it is 10 be hoped the cons!it-
uents OF Mr.. Money will learn his
worth, aud afford him the oppor-
,unity for career which will be
valuable to them, as it cannot
otherwise than prove creditable to
himself.
