EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND SEVEN
TY-sEAEN, year witnessing some of
the most important events of our
nations history, lies entombed in
the cemetery OF time. Ia passing
from the funeral OF that portion Of
time, il will be we'll to realize the
fact, at once, that not al the acts OF
men will 60 down with 1877. but
that some of them rise up aud stand
forth to the view Of the thinking
world, to the disgrace and dishonor
of the America people. The past
year has witnessed the usurper sit
ting down in Executive char Of the
nation, and it even witnessed States
men" rejoicing over this fragrant
violation OF the sacred principles Of
the constitution. 1t witnessed the
mob in many of orr cities demand
ing bead or blood, and the lighted
torches OF the rioters which led to
the destruction OF property to the
amount of millions oil dollars. Aud
last, it witnesses a people who still
"vote the ticket" that a party may
continue Empower whose rulers will
allow the the usurper 10 dictate,
and who have the interest OF the
government so little at heart that 1t
is now almost powerless and hardly
able to suppress mob. 1t is to be
hoped that 1878 will witness a dit
ierent state of affairs, and when 1t
will have passed away, may it wit
ness the country more prosperous
and our people happier, and so on
until 1880 when the grand diadem
OF success shall be placed upon this
increasing happiness by the election
of Democratic President, and the
restoration of the Government to the
purity Of its founders.
To all our readers we wish hap
by New Year. Aud to the Demo
Gratis OF Preston county we woul !
say, we hope you will give the ARGUS
the support it should receive and
thereby assist us in making paper
that will continue to be an earnest
advocate OF the principles of the
Democratic party.

Of Tennessee, because he believes
there is no power in the country
capable of doing 50 much good, and
really doing so much evil, as the
press. In other words, the press
has been very liberal IN its advice TO
the Senator, and he proposes to turn
the tables by telling the members oil
the press how newspapers should be
conducted. The country is full Of
people, who, like Senator Hill, are
