Our Next Congressman.

Our brothers of Montgomery county Senti-
mel and Ad0ocdte are very indignant that any
paper in this Congressional district should
name candidate for Congress the coming fall
election until they shall have designated whom
he shall be. Each OF those journals represents
leaders of diverse views and antagonistic
These leaders have never been able to agree in
county or State conventions, and have thrown
away their opportunities in almost every in
stance. We will wager a green apple that the
two Rockville journals cannot to-day agree
upon Montgomery county man to succeed
Mr.. Walsh.
1t is larthest from our thoughts to force Mr.
Walsh on Montgomery county, against their
wishes. We hope to see him the unanimous
choice Of old Montgomery, but If she persists
in choosing another man she will have strong
hacking and will probably he successful -
There is dctatorial spirit exhibited by the
Sntiael, combined with threats, which are
not pleasing TO the ears Of our mouutaineers
We have suggested that Mr. Walsh would
be the most available candidate thus fall that
his experience in Congress would be benefit
to his district, and that il nominated he would
sure be elected. We believed SO then, aud
we still think it. Bu. If the congressional
convention shall decide upon another standard
bearer there will be no more strenuous advo-
cate for his election than Mr.. Walsh, and we
shall with pleasure give our earnest support
We simply suggest 10 our neighbors to keep
cool don't go of on tangent; settle your
little pickering among yourselves and come
up with a solid front 10 The convention pre-
sent your claims to that body, aud whether
your choice be Mr. Walsh or some other gem
ueman, they will certainly receive favorable
consideration. In the meantime, we beg OF you
TO let us discourse upon Alleganys choice
whether chosen or noi--without our neigh
bors going into 'connip,ions" over it, Cum
6erland dReganian, (Demoerat).
On our first page we give the mani.
iesio OF old Montgomery, and yet in spite
OF this, we find the dliegantan uttering
the names Of Hon. a. X. Syester and DR..

he was citizen Of the county; that Wash.

ADDRESS BY Hon. A. X. BoTELER.-
The Good Templars, encouraged by the
great success Of their first entertain
ment, have determined to offer to our
people on Monday evening, December
9th, another opportunity to pass pleas
ant evening in rational and improving
manner. They have been fortunate in
securing for that occasion the services
of our well-known and popular speaker,
Hon. A. r. Boteler. His subject is one
of much interest to our people, as it Is
connected with our local history-"Jus
tice to James Rumsey, the Inventor of
the Steamboat" "Who invented the
steamboat" is question which has oc
casioned much controversy, an achiev-
ment of which nations, as well as indi-
viduals have been covetous. James
Rumsey, native of Maryland, removed
to Shepherdstown when young man,
and in the October session Of the Nir
ginia Assembly Of IVA, he obtained the
passage of ali act guaranteeing to him
the exclusive right 10 the use of his in
vention i'll navi eating the waters OF that
State for The space of ten years from
date. His first public trial was in 1856.
This much we gather from How's his
tory of Virginia, but there is much Of
interest connected with the invention
and trial that has never been made
known to the public, Mr.. Boteler has
made the subject study, and by care
full research has unearthed much valua-
bic testimony that will be presented to
the public for the first time on this oc-
casion. MIR. Boteler, is an eloquent and
interesting speaker, needs 10 introduc-
ton to our people, and we know that
the simple announcement of his lecture
will be sufficient to gather at Washing
ton Hall a crowded audience.-Spirii.

Young Mems Christian Associn'
ton.

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton OF Shepherdstown, at It's last bust
ness meeting, in view Of its urgent nee d
of funds for effectively carrying on lis
work, voted TO invite all friendly to It's
objects throughout this community 10
become sustaining members of the AS,
ISOLATION at one dollar per year.
And they would also, in this connec-
ton, earnestly appeal TO the mothers
and sisters of young men for their sym
pathy and prayers and active co-opera,
ton in a work which seeks the good OF
their sons and their brothers.
The one chief object of the Y. NJ. {.
a. is TO aid young men by extending to
them the sympathy and friendly help OF
other young men-to keep them away
from sinful associations by surrounding
them with Christian association-to pre-
serve them from the allurements OF
places of evil resort by opening TO them
attractive places OF innocent aud health
jul recreation.
Multitudes of young men, going out
from the shelter of the parental roof,
have thus been preserved from the temp
tations incident to our cities and towns,
and multitudes also have been rescued
and saved FOR a life Of honor and use
eulness, who had already been led astray
by these allurements, and were being
driven down to ruin aud infamy. The
good accomplished by the Y. NJ. G. A.
in this, and many other ways, eternity
alone will reveal.
|. is therefore a work which should
appeal 10 every one who loves
yonng men aud desires their welfare,
aud especially to all parents who have
children exposed TO such perils.
We would heartily commend this ap-
peal to the favorable notice and kindly
help of cur fellow citizens.

NEW ENTERPRISE.

k~ CHEESE FACToRY.-We are glad
to state to our readers that already our
article on the propriety of establishing
a Cheese Factory in our midst, publish
ed several weeks ago, has been heard
from, even as far North as Wisconsin.
We are in receipt of letter from j. j.
Smith & Sons, at Tomah, Wisconsin,
who, for forty years, have been in the
business and running several Factories
at once, manufacturing seventy tons of
butter and cheese per year, and using
the milk from twelve hundred COWS per
year, asking of us of the facilities tor
conducting the enterprise in our neigh
borhood, aud in more genial climate
than in their State. They want farm
containing plenty of spring water, upon
which to erect mandatory. They
will then open up market tor all the
milk that can be furnished by our farm
ers, no matter how large quantity.
Farmers can then turn their attention
more in the direction of keeping good
milk cows and more of them, in order
30 supply this mandatory with milk,
which would be far more profitable than
raising wheat and corn. The railroad
facilities for the shipment of the butter
aud cheese would also be all that could
lie desired in the S. V. r. r., in ship
ping both North and South, direct as
well as by the b. & o. r. r., East and
West. We have several farms, near
town, Immediately upon the line OF the
S. V. r. r., admirably suited tor man.
ufactory of this kind, and which we
have recommended to the above named
gentlemen.

Has Our Government Any Sense
Of Justice?

There is about 5000, 900 lying in
the Treasury of the United States, which
properly belongs to widows, orphans'
and many other persons in the Southern
States, known as the proceeds from the
sale Of cotton, which was taken from
the people of the South after the surren-
der and sold by authority Of the general
government. Now is there any justice
lis there any propriety, or even pre-
text that it was a war necessity--that
the people, ,oid9ws, orphans, old men
and momen, non northumberland Coli
federate government-should be kept
out of the proceeds OF the sale OF their
private property? The government is
in possession of the evidence Of who the
owners of this property are, and should
by every sense Of justice hasten 10 pay
10 them the proceeds of the sale OF their
property. The people of the South are
as Justly entitled to the protection and
fair treatment of this government us the
people of the North, who not only want
every cent their bonds call for, but want
it in gold.

TO Gen. BENZ. Il. BUTLER.

We call upon you as patriot, as one
who wishes justice dealt out alike by
the chief executive of this nation, whose
duty it is TO have the laws faithfully ex-
ecuted, to call upon President Hayes
and demand that he appoint some South
ern greenback democrats as marshals,
and send them up into Massachusetts TO
arrest those yillainous hard money re-
uublicans who obstructed by their
threats, and who executed their hellish
feeling by killing by the slow process
of starvation those intelligent laboring
whits-not ignorant neero-men from
voting for you. Come, now, General,
you owe this to yourself, to your ccun-
try, your party, and to humanity. "Sec-
rotary Evar,s" has breadth of compre-
hension enough to know that United
States laws apply in Massachusetts as
well as in South Carolina. He can't re-
fuse so just a demand. INTIMIDA-
TION in Massachusetts, by threats OF
starvation is TO less violation of law
than shotgun intimidation in South
Carolina Go for them, General, We
will back you to the full extent of the

bg- Our free school law is becoming
odious and Objectionable. We hear 1t
denounced as arbitrary. because it COM
pels one party to pay tax and allows
those who it is intenoed to benefit to
attend school or not, as they may select.
There are other very Objectionable fea-
lures in it. Teachers are selected with
out reference to their acceptability to
the patrons of the schools, and heavy
expenditures are frequently made with
out any regard to the convenience or
ability of the people who are taxed to
pay them. It's the taxpayers right to
speak out.
