AN AWKWARD MIsrAKE.-An EngIis!l
baronet, Sir Simeon Henry Stuart,
wrote ;cttcr to his daughter and am
other to Miss Blanford, and by mis-
take misdirected the envclops. Con-
sequently the daughter received and
handed TO her mother a missive con
tanning such passage as this: "My
own Darling: | was SO pleased to
see you last night. How good Of you
to come over! | do love having you
here, dearest. 1t seems so nice when

What shall | do when you are gone,

that | shall not see you for days; but
it will not be for long, will it? You
will come to me again, and soon.s
Sir Simeon, upon discovering his
blunder, telegraphed to his daughter
to burn the letter, but he was too late,
and it is now being used in a divorce
suit.

THE LATEST AMERICAN EPIDEMIC.

1t appears as though the peculiar con-
struction of the American mind requires
constantly some excitement, something be-
yond the routine Of every day occurrences
upon which to feast itself. Base ball,
crusades, spelling schools and a thousand
other subjects have in turn had their day,
and gone over the land like wild-fre oc-
cupying the attention. of the highest and the
lowest, in city and in hamlet. So regularly
have these causes of excitement arisen, and
so extensively prevailed that they have justly
been put upon the list of epidemicS. To-day
the object of interest is the reviyalst, and
our intention is not to deprecate the work
that is going on, for undoubtedly great good
has been accomplished, but simply to inquire
as to the cause of the interest that is being
every where manifested. The names of
Moody and Sankey are known throughout
this country and in England. For many
months, these gentlemen labored in London
and produced an unprecedented religious
excitement. In Brooklyn they met with
equal success, and in Philadelphia build
iEg that was capable of holding $4,000 peo-
pie was scarcely sufficient to accommodate
their audiences. 1t has not been our priyi
lege to attend any of these meetings, bu
we have carefully read the reports of thei
proceedings, and if the language used b,
Mr.. Moody in most, if not all of his ad
dresses, is correctly repeated in the papers
we must say that the influence which the
seem to exert is incomprehensible. MI
MoOdy's style of speaking is abrupt, hi
language is badly chosen, his grammar bar
barous, and many of his expressions borde
very closely on slang. How it is that in
telligent and cultured people are drawn to
gether and melted to religious exertions b
such of his sermons as we have seen, is be
yond our comprehension. We must there
fore look to something beyond the languag
of the revivalist, and we can only accour
for the epidemic bysomething in the mannC
of saying, rather than in what is said; by tn
singing of Mr.. Sankey and his tremendol
choI, or hy the fact that people go to the
meetings much as they go to Trinity ChurcI
because it is just now the fashionable thin

LuZERNE TRlBuLATIONS. 1

The annual question of the division of
Luzerne is again agitated. The schemes are
too numerous to detail. One plan is to run
a line below Pittson and make two Counties
Another is a tripartite division, with Scran-
ton, Wilkes-B Barre, and Hazleton as County
seats, the latter to annex Beaver Township
in this County, and portions of Carbon and
Schuylkiil To obviate division it is pro-
posed to hold itinerant Courts at Carbondale,
Scrunton, Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton. If
no satisfactory division of the County can
be made We venture the following sugges'
ton:
As the Court has ample power, let it sci
causes for trial, criminal and civil from Car
bondale and vicinity at fixed time and
take the same action in regard to Scranton
Wilkes Barre, and Hazleton. This would
remove the principal trouble in regard tC
litigation, save costs and give eacf
neighborhood definite time for the trial o
causes. We hope our neighbors will con
slider this matter.

The employees in the auditor generals
department surprised their chief last night,
at the United States hotel, by presenting
him with beautiful and costly gold headed
cane, appropriately engraved. The testi-
monial was given in honor Of the fifty
second birth day Of Auditor General Tenn
pie. Mr.. G.. w. G.. Waddell, chief clerk of
the department, made the following remarks
on presenting the cane to Mr.. Temple;
GENERAL: The performance Of the duty
assigned to me tonight by my associates is
indeed pleasant one. By your cOnsidera-
tion of our personal interests, your desire to
make us happy and contented in every re-
spect, and aboYe all your example Of true
and answering application to the duties re-
quired Of all of us, you have won our con-
fidence and esteem, and thereby led us to
look up to you not only as the head of the
department, but as our friend, and in the
presentation of the testimonial of our regard
which we give tonight, we wish to show
our appreciation of you as a friend as an
| honest man and competent and faithful
officer, and by it pledge anew our iealty to
you and our wishes for success in your per-
sonal business as well as in the administra-
ton of your office.
The testimonial of our regard which we
present tonight has history. 1t is taken
from the timbers of Fort Duquesne, the
foundation of which | believe was COM
menced on the I'd day of December, l754.
In the excavations made by the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad for its freight depot, on what is
called "rhe Point" in the now city OF
Pittsburg and upon the site of the old fort
the timber from which this is taken was
found imbedded under the ground. In this
the year of glory Of our goyernment-tht
centennlal-and more especiallythe glory Of
Pennsylvania, we felt that no more fitting
testimonial could be given to one of Penn
sylyania's most honored sons than tina
which we have selected, 1t carries us bacl
in memory to those dark and bloody day
when many of our forefathers who afterwarC
} took part in the revolutionary struggl
! guarded their homes from the ravages an,
t cruelty of the blood thirsty foe, and by tn
experience there acquired fitted themselve
for active participation in the revolutio
which gave our nation birth and Pennsylva
MIA undying fame,
Allow me then, general, on this the fifty
a second anniversary of your birthday, on bt
$ half of my associates and myself to preser
= YOU with this cane as mark of our respec
IS and gratitude, ,ard with it ] express the wis
d that your days may be long spared for Iii
y of usefulness and honor and that prosperit
e and success may attend you in every ste
o you take.
n Mr.. Temple had not the remotest idea
g the intention of his friends, In the fullne
n ofhis big heart all he could do was to than
i the donors for their kind remembrance
Is him and to promise them that he would q
| ways highly treasure the testimonial.

TuE c0IMBAN AND DEMOCRAT COUNTY, PA
tCOmmunicated1

HARRISBURG, Penna. Feb, 14th, 1876.
To THE EDITORS OF THE COLUMBIAN
Among the many Representatives select
ed by the tax payers of Pennsylvania to
represent their interest in the present Leg
islalure none have served their constituents
more faithfully than Hon. T.. j. McHenry
one of the Representatives from your county.
From the commencement of his term of
Office down to the present time he has ably
represented his county with honor and great
credit to himself On all important ques-
tions his vote has been recorded on the side
of right against wrong. He is not one Of
those who is ashamed or afraid to discharge
his duty faithfully and act his part with
irmness and constancy. He possesses a
mind superior to fear not working for self
interest and corruption-a mind governed
by the principles of. uniform rectitude and
integrity. Self-denying to little private i'm
tercsts and pleasures but earnest for the
public welfare and happiness.
Through that active and energetic spirit
of his the bill asking an appropriation to
aid the State Normal School at your place
will without the least doubt be presented by
the committee on appropriations to the
House with an affirmative recommendation
and pass the latter with very little opposi-
| ton.
We think it can be said and that with
truth Representative McHenry is the right
man i'm the right place, ,"-onc of whom the
people of his county can well be proud
His record speaks for itself Let his party
| honor his faithfulness by unanimous re-
nomination and the'people will endorse hi'
course by an increased majority at the polls
on the 7th. day of next November.

"RoBBING THE CRADLE AND THE GRAVE

Toward the close of the late war Grant
was Commander-in-C Chief, and had powers
vested in him never before given General
in the Armies of the United States. Know
ing that the speedy collapse of the Confed-
eracy was inevitable, and that he co uld win
even if the lives of ten Union men had to be
given for one rebel, he "fought it ought on
that line:" and in speaking of the desper-
ate attempt made to recruit the Southern
: Army made use of the memorable remark
that 'they had robbed the cradle and the
grave"
More than eleven years have passed since
then. Lee, Grants grandest opponent be-
came a studious Principal in the Virginia
University, and was shielded from trial
for Treason, Oh the charge of Ben. Butler,
by Gen. Grant, the Soldier.
Since then, Longstreet, who made the
famous charge at Gettysburg, commanding
one of the three Divisions of the Confeder-
ate Army has been Appointed to the best
position in the Senate, Brown of Georgia,
who built the Andersonville prisoners, was
Provisional Gov. of Ga, Moseby, who new
er exchanged prisoners, because he either
shot or hanged them, is now Grants con-
fdent.
We had supposed that war closed when
Lee and Johnson surrendered, and were
gratified that murderous guerrilla war was
not inaugurated.
The Republican Party finds itself divided
on the questions of Tariff Currency, and
other vital questions, and in despair falls
back On the the thread bare issues of the
war; which were settled by the soldiers on
the banks of the Appomattox.
Morton's ''Bloody Shirt" is answered by
Senator Bruce, the colored Senator from
Mississ ippi Blaine, by the speech of con-
gre essman Robbins which we reprint this
week.
The last, and supposed to be the fatal
charge against us is the Tribune dispatch tc
the effect that clerk of theHouse Committee
on Ways and Means named his child John
Wilkes Booth On this vital point hinges
the fate of the nation. Currency, Recon
struction, Finance, "Crooked Whiskey,
Tariff Hard Times" and all other vita
questions turn on this point.
1t would seem that the aforesaid Clerk
named and had chrstened child by th,
nanie of "John Wilkes" after the celebrated
English apostle for freedom of that nam,
who aided to stem the tide of British op
preston. The child died, and over it
corpse the party of great moral ideas
propose to carry the next election. Blain
and the Tribune are after poor old JET
Davis, whom Horace Greely bailed, and thu
Republican Press have resurrected th
corpse of the Clerk of the Chairman of tn
Committee of Ways and Means named 70
the English patriot-John Wilkes.
In the attack on Davis and this innocen
babe, the Republican Party show thei
desperation, because in the language O
Grant, they "have robbed the cradle and tn
grave"

nIlITE AN ITEM.

II is stated that One hundred and six
thousand. seven hundred and forty-three
dollars and iorty-four cents is the cost OF
suppressing the riots in Hazleton and
Schuylkill county last spring.
Ofthat amount the bulk went to lot OF
useless and supcrnumerary Major and
Brigadier Generals and their Stats. If our
military system is to be efficient the number
of officers should be reduced to correspond
with the number of enlisted men.
The Army and Nary journal commenting
on Pennsylvania's military force justly OBJ
serves.
The result of his inspections shows the
total force of National Guard in Pennsylva-
MIA to be 500 officers and 0,2T3 enlisted men
divided into IFS companies of infantry,
ten of cavalry. and six of artillery. The in
fantry is further divided into nineteen regi-
ments and six unattached companies. The
great defect of the State military system ap-
pears in the higher units of force, however
for there are no less than ten divisions.
There is no room for doubt that a consoIida-
| ton to two or three would help the State
| Too many generals are as bad as too many
cooks. and when the Centennial Exposition
comes with its great parade, the fact will
force itself upon the public mind, that ten
maior.penerals and five brigaders, each
with full staff, are too many for nineteen
regiments. An examination of the roster
shows very easy remedy, in reduction OF
rank. All but the First and Second Dlvls-
ions ought to be reduced in rank to brigades
and several of them consolidated, Tor 9,oOO
men will not, with the utmost stretching,
make more than five or six brigades. Two
divisions of three brigades would only mus
ter out two major-generals and ive orlgaderS
while taking an extra star off the shoulders
of six more maior-gen We doubt not
that little proper military spirit on then
part would recognize the wisdom of the
change. and induce them to give up the
rank which at present has nothing to back
| it.
"A review of the whole report compels
the conclusion that Pennsylvania militia
needs reorganization even more than New
| York militia. Its little divisions need con
solidation. its men handsome State dppro'
priation, the cavalry and artillery to be con-
solidated into regiments, each under com
petent chief. THIS ought to be done pretty
quickly, il Pennsylvania does not expect 10 6'
shanaed 6y tile Ne,c Eugldnd States nert Juty
There is time to do good deal. Consollda
ton, disbandment, pay and uniforms,
sharp inspector, a merciless board OF exam
ination, will do wonders before May. If j
is not done, Judging from General Latta''
report, the State will be nowhere at the EX
position for it has but one regiment llh
First)which can fairly be called tirst-class
while New York can show about five full!
its equal Connecticut four her entire force)
Massachusetts two or three, and Marylan(
one, at least.
The present Legislature should recognize
the evil and provide the remedy.

is BABCOCK Guilty.

The testimony for the prosecution in the
whiskey case in st. Louis has closed, and
on Monday morning Gen. Williams adj
dressed the jury in opening the defense.
The prosecution have connected Babcock
with these frauds by the testimony of sever
al witnesses and by kilograms and letters.
But of course as "Bab" is Grants sec
retary, the President and his retinue are
doing all in their power to clear him, as a
convi ction might not be healthy thing for
some other gentlemen. This is lucky
year for the unrighteous, however, and we
shall not be surprised to hear of the acquit-
tai of Babcock. If convicted of course he
will be pardoned for Ulysses could not posi-
bly, spare the services of so valuable an as
sistant. Perhaps he will be sent as Foreign
minister to some important station. Who
knows?
