TOL UsTE IT.

With this issue we begin the publication
of the IVth Volume of the INDEPENDENT.
Three years have elapsed since we under
took the establishment and conduct of our
paper. We did so with full and Just APP
probation of the difficulties which were rea-
sonably to be expected would confront us
for we realized then, as experience has as
sured us, that no new enterprise having for
its object the acceptable and successful man
agoment of newspaper is free from yicis-
situde. 1t is like breaking in upon some
old and popular order of things and substi-
tuting new, it is in a manner defying the
opposition of unfriendly minds and is, to
some extent, inattentiye to the kindly warn
ings of those who while they had our good
at hcars and were earnest in their fears for
our success were none the less sincere in
their wishes chat prosperity might reward
our efforts. Ii seemed as though we we're
Drawing much in attempting before the pub
H.,
divide honors with older journals that so
long had justly received, because they fair
ly merited, the public confidence. We be-
Iieved then, and that belief is confirmed by
gratifying results, that there was ample
room here for us. We have had some Sc
rious difficulties 10 encounter and overcome
but for our support we have relied not in
vain upon discriminating and intelligent
public.
Our published views in matters political
have been invariably but the expression of
eursconvictions We have assailea no ono
from motives inspired by malice, nor in
dulged in abuse under the influence of vim
dietivencss or passion The desire to deal
fairly and act courtcously and Justly towards
all has been the governing principle to guide
our efforts. As it has been so with us in
she past so it shall continue to be in the flu
ture, at least while we control the columns
of this paper. To act on any other plan
would be not to deserve success, and we GER
tainly would not expect to achieve it. To !
sacrifice our principles to policy, o. to bar |
ter away our convictions for expcdiency is /
a price which we will never pay for success.
for that would be to degrade our manhood
and to accept dishonor for reward. Every
enc is entitled to freely express his opinions
and We shall never hesitate to make ours
known whenever occasion may Justify, or
emergencies demand We hope always to
do SO in manner perfectly respectful to-
wards and considerate of those who NAV
differ, for We think it quite possible fer
others, whether they be friendly associates,
professional rivals or personal enemies, to
be sincere in their way of thinking, and we
shall not quarrel with them for enjoying
their rights.

The Rev John S G. Abbot, whose
death in Fair Haven, Conn, at the age
of seyenty-one, was lately announced, while
a literary man of note, was chiefly known
as the biographer of the first Napoleon and
of his nephew, the late emperor The
works were of little historic value, and
we're simply pleas for their heroes. We
cannot agree, however, with a contempora-
ry, that they leave the name Of the authur
under a moral cloud The wonderful eeni-
us of the great Bonoparte, albeit he was
a military adyenturer, and in discardino
Josephene and marrying an Austrian
princess showed the most vulgar plebian
instincts and an utter absence of all moral
sense, has nevertheless facnated stronger
minds than that of Mr. Abbott, to say
nothing of the natural influence exorted
over him by the personal Kindness of the
third Napoleon, who, it may be added, had
a more legitimate title to the sceptre of
literature than to that Of the throne. But
writer's like Mr. Abbott, who belong to a
republican country, and feel called upon to
minister to the tastes Of its people, ought
not to make heroes Of men who looked upon
the people as only pawns to be used in the
game OF power, and who slaughtered them
BY multitudes to crafty insatiate ambition.
France has never had a worse enemy than
the Bonapartes, and has never suffered
such humiliations in the face Of Europe as
has been brought upon her by this exotic,
upstart dynasty If she should again bart
er away her liberties for such false imperial
jewelry it will be concluded that the teach
ngs OF experience have been lost upon
France and that deeper abyss is before
her than any to which She has vet fallen

That N0seygy.

Baltimore city's nosegay, the basin, is
sgain sending forth her aroma, at which
the people who do business where she SO
Hajestically smelleth, turn up their noses.
The prOpriosors of steamboats, and other
vessels are about to institute suit against
the city fer DETACHMENT and injury to their
vessels, caused by the foul condition of the
water. As long as eesspools and water
closets arc allowed to flow into sewers which
carry their waters into the basin the nose
gay will exist. No other people of the size
of the city Of Baltimore would permit such
thing to exist mere than one season.

That Ecertasting senatorship.

We declared in our article last week up
on this hackneycd subject that we meant to
recur to it no more, that we were disguised
with the interminable length to which the
discussion had been carried, and that we
had bid it long farewell But we arc
sorry to see that the Times will not let us
rest IN peace. We have fully explained
our reasons for haviag published the para
phrase of the Comet. That reason was that
we had not read the article of the Times
and trusted to the fair dealing of the Comet
III giving a correct quotation of our neioh-
boris article. The Times, in continued
attack upon us last week, very truly saws
that we had 1.-TWO opportunities afforded"
us to read their article. We again rcneat
that we did not do so on that occasion. and
can furthermore say We rarely ever trouble
ourselves with reading the editorials or To-
cal productions of that journal. Would
you know the reason? Simply this-that
we have been so long made the victims of
the slurs, misrepresentation and puny rid
ieule of that paper, that our scorn and
contempt arising at length to so high a
pitch, prompted us to cast it aside as I'M
worthy the perusal or notice of those i'm
bued with the consciousness of honorable
and fair-minded motives We still feel and
aver that it is hard to be accused of pub
fishing falsehoods'' when we copy from those
whose motives, the Times and its friends
would deem it blasphemy to impugn. But
revel on, good neighbor and kind friend in
your saturnalia. of hate and vilifcations. =
Justice, with her scales, will one day strike
the balance between US, and the mantle of
honor and rectitude fall upon shoulders that
most merit it, AT repotr.

Politics and Religion.

There is report to the effect that Post
master Moak has resigned his position or
the Republican State Committee add an
nounced his intention Of becoming religious
Moak has been a long time in the Republi-
can party, and it will take Il good deal Of
religion Of the rest quality to be of any
benefit to him. Possibly it he resigns his
position on the Republican State Committee
and gives as much earnest attention to re-
lgion in the future as be has to the party
of which he is q member, in the past, and
votes for honest Democrats-a thing be
WILL of course, do when he gets religion
in future it will be well with him. We
congratulate him on the good resolution at
any rate, and trust he will succeed in being
good pcstmaster.-M MADISON Democrat.
Postmaster Moak mnst be gratifed at the
interest taken in him by the Madison Dem
ocrat, Jefferson Banner and other papers of
the same political faith, which have spoken
approvingIy of his "new departure" He
will probably deem it one of bis first duties
to labor with the editors Of the papers
named, and try to lead them to be better
men, of which every Republican knows
there is pressing need. But it will be no
easy task to snatch them from the burning
brink upon which, as the editors of Demo
cratic ne Nspapers, they have been standing
for these many years. However, his long
and varied experience in politics has so
familiarized him hia with hard subjects as
to make him tackle Bros. Ray mer and Bird
with a zest---notwithstanding their exceed
ing toug hness-and he will never despair
OF their reclamation until be shall have
seen them turn over new leaf If this
shall be the result of our Postmaster S
efforts, no one should longer doubt the wis
dom of presidential order No. |, but for
which Moak would have probably remained
in politics. and those hardened sinners.
Raymer and Bird, would have continued in
their vocation as manufacturers OF Demo-
cratic lies, and been forever lost.

SelltatiOIl.

Last Sunday evening the members of
Murphy's Cornet Band presented their lead
er, Mr. James B. Murphy, with gold
breastpin and sleeve buttons, as token of
their regard and esteem. The presentation
took place at the residence OF NJ. Hurtubise,
Mr.. Hurtubse acting as spokesman on the
occasion, Mr.. Murphy not being much of a
hand at speech making, simply thanked the
"boys" for ;heir generous gitt and after
spending an hour or two pleasantly with
their host and hostess all departed for their
homes, feeling that they had simply done
an act of Justice in presenting so worthy a
young man with so valuable a testimonial.
Altogether the affair was in every way agree
able, and will long be renem bered by the
members Of the band.

The regular secretion and flow of the
gastric juices and of the bile, which the use
of Hostetter's Stomach Btters promotes, are
effects which conduce materially 10 the res
toratlon of health, when the system is dis
ordered. Food is not digested in the dys-
peptic stomach because the gastric fluid is
deficient, superaoundant or yitiated; the
liver becomes congested and the bowels
constipated because the supply of bile is in
adequate or misdirected The Bitters rec
THY all this and removes every ill-conse-
querce of non-assimilation and bilious
irregularity. furthermore, it stimulates
the action Of the kidneys, by which mpur-
tiles are, so to speak, strained from the
blood, and any tendency in the urinary
organs to grow sluggish and dsordered
connteracted. Whether it be used ASA
means of regulating gastric or bilious secre-
ton, and relieving the overloaded bowels,
or to promote complete and, therefore,
healthful urination, Hostetter's Bitsers may
be relied upon with confidence to accom-
plish the end in view.

Non-Accidental Kerosene Lamp.

The great bane attending the use Of lh e
kerosene lamp from the terror of
explosions and other accidents, is removed
by the Rhind Patent safety lamp, from the
uses of which no accidents can possibly
occur. This lamp is simple but wonderful.
1t extinguisbes itself when overturned it
extinguishes Itself when broken; it cannot
be filed while lighted, but can be carried
at pleasure. Blowing down the chimney
or turning down the wick to extinguish the
light is entirely unnecessary. 1t gives
more light with the same wick than any
lamp in the World. We have seen the
workings Of the Rhind lamp and know
whereof we speak. No household should
use any other kind of kerosene lamp, as it
is absolutely impossible to have an accident
from its use. Mr.. Jonas Stahl is tie sole
agent for the sale of this lamp in this city
and vicinity. be takes pleasure in ex-
planning its merits and we trust will meet
with abundant success in canvassing for it.
