The Score is recognized as one of the
leading and most enterprising musical journ-
ais in America. The August number is
upon our table, and contains first class read
ing matter of a most interesting and instruc-
tive character. One of the chief attractions
among the sixteen pages Of music in this
number is the immensely popular song and
chorus, "Carry me Back to Old Virgnny,"
which is floating oTet the country in thous
auds of copies. In anticipation Of the large
call for the August number, the publishers
have printed double edition. The remain

A telegram from Washington says it
has been practically decided to extend the
registry system to third-cass mail matter.
This change will go into effect about October
/. 1t will not however, be merely expert
mental or confined to ten ofthe larger offices,
as recommended by the convention of rail-
way mail superintendents, but will take
effect generally, and become feature Of
the regular postal system. General Hazen
says the department at present realizes a
profit on the registry of irst-class matter,
and he sees no reason why the registry Of
third-class matter should not also be made
profitable.

I'm another column we publish the pro-
iceedings of the National Greenback- Labor
party's convention. As we stated in our last
issue, the nominations of this convention of
delegates has given the utmost dissatisfac-
tion to the members Of the party outside of
the Irish and Mauch Chunk factions, by
whom the ticket was fixed up. The factions
in opposition to the ticket nominated last
week, are now making efforts for the hold
ing of another convention, with view to the
choosing of more acceptable candidates to
themselves. But will they suit the factions

Our attention was recently attracted by
an advertisement in another paper TO the
" American Housekeepers' Scale, and
the extremely io'g price induced us 10 send

A Western physician-as we with
hold his name in cannot be said that
this is a free advertisement for him
has made public remedy for con.
sumption that is said to have been
tried with very excellent results.
This is the prescription:
One-halc pound flnely-eut-up beefsteak
(resh);
One drochm pulverized charcoal;
-Four ounces pulverined sugar;
Four ounces rye whiskey;
one pint boiling water.
Mix an together, let it stand in a cool place
over night and give from one to two teaspoon
uls liquid and meat-beforc each meal.
The theory Of the above is that
food containing large amount of
carbon produces the best effect on
consumption sufferers. That is an
acknowledged axiom in the medical
profession. The virtues of remedies
are in proportion to the amount of
carbon that can be infused into the
system to feed the consuming flame
that wastes the body. The internal
fever burns up the carbon in the sys-
tenn faster than the food eaten can
replace it. TheIdisease then preys on
the fatty substance Of the body and
destroys the lungs, and eventually
the life. The prescription spoken of
has at least the merit of simplicity,
and can do no harm,

rhe Press and Guilty Officials.
What must be the judgment of an
intelligent public as to the integrity
and reliability of journals which
claim TO be Oracles Of truth and ell
lightened opinion, when every public
offpnse against decency and decorum
can be explained into silence in the
face of notorious facts? The testi-
mOny ofall, members and cOrrespon-
dents, is concurrent that the closing
scenes Of the last session of Congress
We're disgraceful to a degree never
before witnessed in Washington.
The general picture of the national
shame has been faithfully presented
by the public press, and criticised as
it deserved, but the intelligent reader
has been taught the profoundest con-
tempt for the integrity Of many pro-
fessedly reputable newspapers by
their willing prostitution of their
columns to the Individual vindica-
tion Of some Of the most guilty of the
offenders. And it has been done
with the fullest knowledge that the
representative who have been al
lowed to manufacture and publish
specious denials without question,
were guilty of every offence imputed
to them, and, in most cases, had been
guilty on previous occasions without
having been publicly called to ac-
count for it. In not less than half a
dozen instances during the late
session of Congress, members Offend
ed against common decency when in
the discharge Of responsible public
duties ; and it is a lasting stain upon
the public press that, in every case,
the offender has been allowed to
| manufacture specious denial for his
own constituents, and gain publicity
for it in respectable journals with the
approval Of silence. Even the Acklen
disgrace has been transtormel by
Washington newspapers experts into
"a a.
every Congressman who displayed
the beastlinesS of the drunkard be-
fore the gaze Of the country has been
certified to his people as blameless
and injured man. 1t is just such
yielding to the opportunities of those
who have disgraced themselves and
the nation that has made a large
portion Of the public press contemp-
tible, and the only compensation is
widened disrespect for newspapers,
for intelligent public opinion is not
shanged by such servility to those
who have stained themselves and
their high offices by the freaks of the
bIackguard. Until the public press
and good citizens call public repre-
sentatives to strict accountability for
such offenses, it is idle to complain
of the degeneracy of our Legislators
and our legislation, and never was
there a more imperative demand
made upon all for a new departure in
the selection of representatives for
State and nation than now.-PbHd-
delphia Times.

NUMBER 81.

The Orange excitement in Mont
real Friday morning was intense, bu t.
at noon the leaders were induced
mainly by the declaration of the
Mayor that the demonstration was
illegal, to abandon their right of
walking in processson, stipulating
with the Mayor that he should dis.
perse the mob in the vicinity of their
hall and protect it during the day
and evening. Instead of the parade
the members of the lodges listened
to a sermon in the Stanley Street
Church by the Rev. Mr.. Droudiet.
The military, under General Smyth,
consisting of five regiments of in
lantry, one corps of artillery and
cavalry troop, were on duty for the
preservation of the peace. A lodge
from Sherbrook arrived By tFaih afs
ter the excitement had somewhat
subsidized. and marched to the church.
The protection guaranteed by the
Mayor failed, for an Orangeman on
his way home in cab from Orange
Hall was attacked by an infuriated
mob and beaten almost to death,
His eyes were nearly gouged out of
his head, and his condition is deemed
very precarious. The rest of the
Orangemen were conveyed home in
cabs escorted by the police, and thus
escaped the fury of the mob. The
crowds then dispersed without fur.
ther trouble. AT Toronto a process
sion took place in which every lodge
was Wellrepresented, and no disturb
ance occurred.
The Orangemen Of New York and
Brooklyn celebrated the battle of
the Boyne by their fifth annual pic
mic and excursion. The members of
the various lodges embarked on a.
steamer and two barges and proceed
ed to Mount Pleasant, on the Hudson
river. The police were in attendance
and none but the eXcursionists were
allowed to 60 on the pier. A large.
flag on the steamer displayed the
Prince of Orange on horseback on
one side and the battle of Boyne on
the other.
The Orangemen of Philadelphia
made quite an imposing demonstra-
ton without causing any excitement,
and the police, though on hand, were
not needed to maintain the peace.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-07-20

The Utica Observer, the leading
Democratic newspaper of Central
New York, thus tersely expounds the
civil-service policy of its party:
1t may be proper to repeat here
what we have said before, that when
our party comes to power the Presi-
dent of its choice will be expected to.
turn out all the Republican office
holders and appoint competent Dem
ocrats in their places.
And in this, if in nothing else, the
Democratic party is consistent. 1t
will rgiidIy perform in this respect
just what it promises. Wherever it
has come to power, in municipal or
State governments, this policy has
been faithfully carried out. But if it
does come into possession of the Cen.
eral Government in 1880 the heads Of
only about three-fourths of the
Federal otfiCe-h0lderS will fall. The
remaining one-fourth, though hold
ing Office under an Administration
elected by Republican votes, are'not
obnoxious to the charge of being Re-
publican oflice-holders. Yet their as
sociition with Republicans will be
sufficient cause of removal. Their
dough faces will be turned outward.

passed. The lid of the pandora box
might have remained closed, and the
country have escaped the long train
of similar aggressions which aggran-
died one section and impoverished
the other, and, adding insult to in
jury, finally destroyed the fraternity
which had bound them together.
How or when a restoration of the
Government to the principles and
practices of its earlier period may be
accomplished is not given to us to
foresee. For me it remains only
earnestly to hope and hope, fully to
believe, though may not see it, that
the restoration will come.

Hon. Charles Foster, of Ohio, in a
speech delivered in the House of
Representa;iyejust before it adjourn
ed, paid his respects to the army re-
formers in these words:
"Some of its provisions" (refering
to the Army bill) evil turn out to-
be absolutely ludicrous when they
are executed. For instance, the Cen
eral Of the Army is left without
horse, while a Lieutenant of the
Marine Corps in the same city is en-
titled to two horses. Again, an officer
in the Mounted Artillery is not al
lowed a horse, while all the privates
are mounted. What beautiful spec
tacle Democratic reform has brought
about-as witness the drilling of
mounted calvary with all the officers
on foot! TO bring about this reform
required the uninterrupted labor of
the chairman of the Military Com
mittee for three years, aided by my
accomplished in the art of war friend
from New York Mr.. Hewitt) and at
least three caucuses of the entire
Democratic party Of the House. /
did not believe in the reduction of
salary as proposed in the bill. On
this question of salaries | feel now as
l have often expressed myself before,
that | cannot go into that question
until we as members Of Congress are
ready to reduce our own salaries.
Our reformers as yet do not propose
to reduce their own salaries, but are
at all times ready to reduce Others"
