Laugh and GPOw-POOr.

RICHMOND, VA, Feb. 81, 1876.
Mr.. Editor The presidential knot having
been cut in twain by our modern Alexander,
Judge Bradley, the country may now take
breathing spell in its long suspense, and the
governmental wheel, with all of its connecting
machinery of business and commercial inter
course, almost on siand-stll as il is, may
now begin its oft-promised accelerated move
ments. But if the machinery OF government
runs smoothly hereafter it must come from
Radical greasing for there is no lubrcating
substance to be had from the Democratic party
for the RECONSTRUCTED mechanism, certainly
none from the Southern division of it. Many
important events and changes may now be
looked for. Thus, for instance, many persons
who have for long time appeared very grave
and detected, now laugh and exclam, 81 told
you So" This mirth even extends TO Demo
Gratis but with them it is laugh that does
not fatten. The New York Times has already
INDUCED in a side-splitting round Of merri-
ment over the discontinue of the Democratic
party, and the Nasty artist of 'llarper's
Journal of Civilization" (barbarism) is ready
with one of his dirty caricatures Of the out
ragged party. Even our little evening paper,
The State, always the most hopeful of the sue
cess of Mr.. Tilden, hides its disappointment
under broad grin. Ever since the election,
its champion bird has proclaimed " Tilden's
election sure;" but last Friday he appeared
capsized with "plumage all despoiled.' The
same paper anticipated The result in Oregon by
calling it the "Or-a-gone case" While others
are laughing the writer will also partake Of the
general hilarity, bat his feelings do not prompt
it at all-it is a case for laughter only with
devils and the Radical party therefore, he
may say that the wedding frippery of those
untorlunates of GAINESVILLE, becoming musty,
for want Of use, can now be given an airing,
ana those other unfortunate" who have alb
stained so long from their accustomed associa-
ton with old 'red-eye," from sheer suspense
over the election, may now resume their won't
ed indulgence.
But laying all il-tmed Jokes aside, what
has the Democratic party done2 Simply COM
biued with their opponents 10 seat the defeated
candidate for the presidency, Mr.. Hayes
simply rebound themselves with the letters
which they had borne in oppressive servitude
for fifteen long, dark years, and from which
they had the power to free themselves for
ever. Having the power TO confirm the Just
election Of their candidate, they surrendered
their right TO decide the question OF the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Tilden TO his opponents. Has the
case parallel in the political history of the
world? We sometimes hear Of such liberality
in the social walks of life, and it is rare even
in that quarter, but ip politics the Ike Qever

intimate with him, for his name appears in the
papers sometimes as Rutherford B. Hayes
alias Returning Board Hayes alias Rogue
Bradley Hayes but think his proper name
in relation 10 the presidency is 0liunde.
Alias has other acquaintance high up in
the Radical party, for instance there is Hiram
U. Grant alias Ulysses s. Grant, and all the
way from Oregon comes John Nipple alias
Hon. J. II. Mitchell.
So, taking il altogether, you can hardly ex-
pect us to be satisfied when such patriots as
Wells, Alias and Alunde are the parties that
decide the presidency. We will not be salts
fed, but | can't tell you yet what we are go
ing to do about it.
Coming to local matters, our most engross-
ing theme of gossip is the general prevalence
OF measles There are over twenty cases in
town now, besides good many that have re-
covered and the disease is equally prevalent
in the country for miles around.
The Changers can no longer be called sell
fish. True, they buy stores of groceries, seeds,
farm implements, &c, and distribute them
only among themselves, bu, at the party they
gave some weeks ago they distributed the
measles impartialy to Changers and nom
Changers alike, so that the whole country is
now enjoying their liberality. If they had
only given notice of this distribution when
they issued their invitations to the party there
would have been more room for dancing -
Happily there have been no fatal cases in our
immediate neighborhood though several are
reported from the eastern part of the county

LETTER FROM UNITY.
UNITY, EeJ. &c, 1877

UNITY, Feb. &c, 1877.
Mr.. Editor The most brilliant, ENJOYABLE
and recherche entertainments ever held in this
section was given on Thursday evening last by
the pupils of Unity School, II. NJ. Baldwin,
Esq, teacher.
The audience, numbering over two hundred
and fifty persons, was somewhat appreciative,
indeed were remarkably so if occasional crow
ing and considerable mewing were any eri-
terions.
The Rotations, tableaux, dialogues and
readings were admirable selections and reflect
credit upon the youthful preceptor who pre-
sides over those academic shades. The recita-
tions were scholarly. the tableaux true TO ma
ture, the dialogues Astounding in moral and
useful Instruction. and the whole replete with
Il rare fascination that shall finger here fol-
aye. While we cannot pause 10 expatiate upon
the role OF every actor or actress, gross in
justice would be perpetrated did we not mem
ton the name of Miss Willie Dryer, of Unity,
who played her part so admirably in seec-
ton entitled Womens' Rights" as TO place
her in the front rank of amateur dramalsts
The selections were interluded with choice
vocal music, for which this neighborhood is
famed, and while your punctlious reporter
would eschew all invidious distinctions, he
cannot refrain from mentioning the Fact that
the MesSrs Gil and G-es, and the Misses
D. and G., Of Unity, sang with such sym
phony as to be frequently encored. They are
all youthful personages and amateur singers,
but their musical talent is really surprising
indeed superior 10 many Pima Donna who
graces the chairs of the opera.
A spelling bee closed the entertainment, and
while more was expected o! The Wanted
orlhographists of this district, il was A most
commendable feature. S Wright Davis played
the role of pedagogue, while Messrs. Wood
bridge and Beech Of Montgomery and Mr.
Denton of Howard county constituted the UNI
| pirage. After n spirited contest the prize
| viii Carleton's Poems-was finally awarded
Mary, daughter Of Joshua Brown, Esq The
last scene was enacted, the curtain fell and the
assemblage parted, realizing the fact that we
| live in progressive age; bat, alas when We
contemplate the lowering clouds that cnvelop
the horizon Of our country, is not the night
near2 A bloodless revolution made Napoleon
Emperor of the French no carnage when
Rome toppled from her majestic pinnacle; and
the Republic Of Greece passed away when the
| azure bow of peace eucircled tho Hellespont.
The Greek sits to-day pirate at Saarnis, n
beggar at Marathon, and the Roman crouches
a slave where once he was master. few
more DAYS and the Republic Of the U s. OF

that were. Let The coffin pass

was heard Of before and may be the beginning
| of that political millennium in which the
Democratic lamb and the Radical lion shal
| lie down together and the little child or the
woman of the period" shall lead them but
every time the Democratic lamb lies down
with the Radical beast it will be gobb!ed up
just as it was in this instance.
What had the Democratic party TO expect OF
their opponents than decisons of the qnes-
ton in favor of the Radical party7 If it was
human nature to render a just decision against
ITSELF it was certainly not Radical human ma
ture. What act Of fairness or justice had the
| Democratic party ever had from their oppo-
nents to call forth this marvellous confidence ?
In every contested case that had come up be-
fore the Radical party for decision that decis-
ion had been rendered in behalf of themselves
aud against the helpless Democrats. With the
case of South Carolina before their eyes, and
the tramp of armed soldiers resoundng
through the very halls in which Congress sat
what of fairness or justice could the Demo-
cratic party expect from their treacherous and
| corrupt opponents?
The people OF this country, by a majority
of two hundred THOUSAND, declared Samuel
J. Tilden to be thei- choice FOR the presi-
dency, and n majority of one million of the
intelligent voters of the country, those capa-
BILE Of understanding the case, declare that he
was fairly and lawfully elected, and the wishes
Of such vast majority should have been re-
spected, even had there been doubt as to which
of the candidates received n majority of the
electoral vote. 1t was a contest in which the
most honest and conservative portion Of both
parties combined to break down that political
infdeity which had brought disgrace and
ruin upon the country, and when their united
efforts seemed crowned with success, all their
bright hopes for the future of the nation are
crushed by childish confidence on one side
and treachery on the other, which, instead
of al ousing the laughter of honest and law
abiding Americans, should call forth tears as
bitter as gall and 'salter than womans"

COUNTY CONVENTION.

Editor Sentinel: The time is rapidly APP
Proaohing when the Democratic Conservative
party of Montgomery county will be directed
to send delegates TO n county convention for
the purpose of seectings candidates to rep
resent us in the General Assembly of Mary
land, and for the various local Offices and
everybody is anxious to know why the State
Central Committee have disobeyed the man
date Of the last county convention which au-
thorized and ordered that convention should
be called expressly for the purpose Of adopting
some satisfactory and equitable system for the
future conduct of primary meetings Every
sagacous observer among us (includiHg the
members Of the State Central Committed must
know that unless some system is adopted more
satisfactory than the one which has controlled
our primaries" for many years past, the
dssension aud dissatisfaction which prevailed
at our last State election will increase to such
dimensions AS will certainly imperil if not de-
stroy the supremacy of the Democratic party
Of Montgomery county. The people are de-
termined TO have n voice in the nomination
and election of their servants, and they will
not allow any self-constituted authority TO in
terpose impediments to their intentions in this
respect let them emanate from whence they
may. 10 the name Of all Democrats who value
harmony and success, call on the Stale
Central Committee TO order, without delay,
the assembling of county convention which
can and will adopt system satisfactory TO all
concerned. FAIR PLAY.

REVISING THE BIBLE. From a paper read
before the weekly meeting of Melhodists at
the book concern in New York city, on Mon
day Of this week, the following interesting
particulars OF the revision of the Bible BY
the Angeo- American commission, appointed
for that purpose, were CLEANED by World re-
porter. The commission includes about fifty
persons in the country and England In the
U, s. branch are Dr. Theodore Woolsey,
Philip Schaif, DR.. George f. Day, of Yale
college, and the Rev. DR.. NJ. B. Riddle, of
Hartford, The revision is being conducted
in the most conservative spirit; the altcra-
tions to be made will be as few as possible,
and it is thought that when the new Bible is
read, ninety-fve per cent of the people will
not know it from the present revised.
