HOW THEY CAME HOME.
The Retrea, OF the PoiIadeIphians

Philadelphia Times.
An effort was made by one or two in
yentive individuals to climb into their
muskets; but as this was found to be i'm
Practicable, not for the reason that
the muskets were too narrow, but that
the men were too long, the ruse was
abandoned. One gentleman tried the
extraordinary experiment OF i'm
polling himeelt homeward by
swallowing his musket and touct :
ing it off from within HIMSELF
but discovered his mistake in time TO
avert serious consequences. In the ex'
element of the moment terrified brlga-
der general offered to ship" on passen-
ger train as man before the "msst; and
being refused, wanted to know whether
he couldn't go through as an invoice to
the stuffed department of the Permanent
Exhibition. In despair several veterans
pinned postal cards to their shirts and
threw themselves by the track, deter
mined to trust TO luck and some conscleh-
tious mail agent to pass them through. To
add to the terror of these unfortunate
men they couldn't get anything to eat
that was pslstsble; and as the crowds
knew this they lowered above the enact
atei soldiers and "cswed" in joyous an
ticipation of big Quaker City lunch.
Happily for aching breasts at home "the
boys began struggling into the city yes
terday evening. One gallant major was
sttired in military boots, brskeman's
pants, no coat worth mentioning, and q
telegraph operator caps. His friends
met HIM at the depot and greeted him
with cheers.

TIE whole country is to be congrat
ulsted upon the improved aspect of the
situation. The disorderly elements OF
our population still await sn opportu-
nifty to deprive honest labor of its rights
and to strip capital OF its property, but
they begin TO realize that the public
safety demands the unconditional sur
rem Ter or summary suppression of the
law breakers. AS the State and Federal
authorities assume bold front the
spirits of evil prepare to 60 whence they
came to escape the penalty of the worst
OF crimes. But the situation is still
grave. Every influence should be en-
listed in the support OF constituted
authorities The friends of peace should
stand together.

CharIeston's Proposition.

Charleston Courier.
The attention of taxpayer throughout
the State is invited to the proposition of
the State House Company, published in
this paper, to give their building and
grounds Tree of cost to the State, IN the
event the Capital is locased at Charles.
ton. The fact is no longer concealed,
that the main object of Clsrksburg in
striving for success in this Capital cleo
ton, is to secure the erection in that
town of costly public buildings at public
expense. Five hundred thousand dol
lars Is the lowest figure at which Ciarks-
burg people place this anticipate ex-
pendture, while every one familiar with
the experience of other States in the con-
struction OF Capitols, knows that West
Virginia would be exceedingly fortu-
nate, where she TO succeed in erecting q
State House in Clsrksburg at less cost
than one million dollars.
At this particular time, with the Asy-
lum and other necessary public bui ID
ings yet uncompeted, the assumption by
the State of the cost of erecting State
House at such outlay as has
been indicated, would impose an oppres-
slve burden upon the already oVerbur-
dened taxpayers of the State.
A Capitol costing but fvs-hundred
thousand dollars, would add, upon the
average, nearly ten thousand dollars
10 ths tsxstien of every county IN the
State.
The average cost to each voter would
be five dollars per head.
Every county voting to place the Cap
ital at Clarksburg, votes to charge her.
self for that privilege with her proper
ton of this enormous bill, for the bene-
lit of one of the weslthiest communities
in the State.
Every voter who votes for the Capital
st Clsrksburg, votes to tax himself and
fellow voters a. the average rate of five
dollars per head, for the benefit OF
county admitted to be independent, and
whose demand for more Is in proportion
to her admitted independence
Every county voting to place the Cap
ital at Charleston, votes TO save at least
tive hundred thousand dollars to the
public treasury, aud an average of nearly
the State.
Every voter voting Tor the Capital at
Charleston, iavors the saving OF At least
Ii We dollars on the average to every voter
in the State.
The proposition were submitted to tax
en-, voter five dollars for the benefit of
Clarksburg, 1t would be defeated in
Harrison county. Yet that is just what
\ location OF the Capital at Clarksburg
meats.
The proposition OF the Charleston
state House Company is before the pub
lc 1t is made III good faith, backed by
responsible names and means the saw
ing OF at least five hundred thousand
dollars to the people of West Virginia.
As between location at Charleston in
volving no additional taxation or e1-
pense, there can be but one choice Let
the people choose between unnecessary
extravaganza and prudent economy.

Endorsing the Governor.

Spirit oil Jefferson, Charlestown.
There were some, doubtless, who felt
disposed to censure Governor Mathews
for precipitancy in calling upon the
President for aid in suppressing the re-
cent outbreak. But subsequent events
have fully demonstrated the wisdom Of
bis course. His promptness alone has
saved many lives and much property,
to say nothing of threatened
reign of terror, which would soon
have set all authority at defiance,
and reduced our State TO condition
of civil war, and absolute anarchy. The
Governor, in strict compliance with
every constitutional requirement, called
on the General government to suppress
what was not so much domestic insur-
rection, or local riot, rs it WAS an tnUdsion
of residents from Eeighboring States.
His action was prompt and decisive, and
the commentator of all good cit
lzens.

SATURDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1877.


The annual message Of the President
of the United States to Congress Isl
paper that is much sought for each year
AS indicating the great questions OF pub
Tic policy likely to absorb the attention
of Congress during its session.
The Presidents Message delivered
Dec. Sd, 1877. to Congress is very
carefully written and exceptionally ably
state paper; hut owing to its great
length, being sufficient to fill some TWEEN
ty columns of this paper, very few local
journals are able to publish it. There
fore, it has been less noticed by the To-
cal press than any message heretofore
delivered for several years past.
The first subject treated is the paci
fication Of the country. The ardent de-
sire OF good men of LaiI parties for the
return Of tue era of mutual good will
between the people Of all the states, the
difficulties incident to the choice Of
measures of pacitication, and Of the
good results that have followed the
withdrawal of the army from the South,
md the restoration of local self govern
meut in the Southern states, are treated
at length.
The results OF adopting these
measures, it says:
Instances Of remaining lawlessness
have become of rare occurance. Puliti-
cal turmoil and disturbances have disap-
pearcd. Useful industries have been
resumed. Public credit in the southern
states has been greatly strengthened and
the encouraging benefits of a revival of
commerce between the two sections Of
the country lately embroiled in civil war
are fully enjoyed"
In regard to the freedmen, it says:
at may not he improper here
to say that it should be our
fixed and nnaltersble determination to
protect Ivy all available and proper
means under the constitution ard laws,
the lately ,emapcipated races in the ek.
pertinent of their rights and privileges,
and l urge upon those to whom hereto
tore the colored people have sustained
the relation of bondsmen the wisdom
and justice OF hnmane and liberal local
legislation with respect to their educa-
tion and general welfare, and firm ad-
hereance to the laws, both national and
state, as to the civil and political rights
of the colored people now advanced to
full and equal citizenship"
This last matter, the President says,
is "Very near his heart" and he urges
very strongly that all instances of law
lessness or oppression OF one rase or class
by another be punished and reprcssed by
every means in the power of the gov
ernment.
Pre'eminent among other questions
treated, is the policy and the measures
designed to restUSe the currency to a
acrnal and healthy condition, secure the
resumption Of specie payments, "and
