LAST TUESDAY wes the anniversary Of
the battle of New Orleans. There was a
time when the event was very generally
celebrated throughout the country, but
that day has passed by, and the brilliant
achievement OF the brave pioneers of the
southwest, who, on the plains OF Chal-
n,ette, saved the ''beauty and booty" OF
New Orleans from lust and pilage, is now
unhonored and unsung. The conflict be-
tween tina British and American forces be-
low New Orleans was not a great battle,
like that on the field of Waterloo, or Geltys-
burg, where the destinies of nations are
decided, but in many respects it was one OF
the most memorable engagements III the
history Of modern warfare. The comman-
der-in-chief of the British army, Packen-
ham, was an Irish noblemaD, and his army
was composed of men who had served under
Wellington in Spain in his battles with the
veterans Of Napoleon's most trusted Mar
khals while, on the other hand, jackson.
the American general-in- chief, was the son
Of an Ulster county Irishman-a Tennessee
lawyer-uneducated in military science,
though born TO command. and his troops
were raw, undiseiplined militatnen, priuci
pal.y from Kentucky aud Tennessee. The
victory was the most complete and decisive
of the war. aud the battle was fough. dfte'
the treaty of peace had been signed al
Chept, of which :he commanding officer:

path Of it's hero to the Presidency, and ID

THE Philadelphia Daily Record is an
eight column paper, one size larger than
the FREEMAN, Snd is printed in small type.
II contains the very latest and most liable
news, both foreign and domestic, together
with the fullest local intelligence. Any
man who would read number Of the
Rssord without knowing its price would
scarcely believe that it is sold for one cent
per copy but such is the fact, aud as a re-
sali it's lily OH culation has reached thirty

reading can be furnished at so trifiing a
.uin, and affords a remarkable instance Of
she success Of good newspaper furnished

IN the State Senate, last week, Mr. New
myer, Of Allegheny county, introduced a
j'int resolution proposing an ameDdment
10 the new coDstiiution reducing the Lesis-
hturs 10 The old number, ihirty-three ssna-
tors and one hundred Representatives.. If
this Joint resolution is adopted by the pres
ept Legislature, il must also be passed by
the Legislature next year, and then the
proposed amendment mnst be submitted to
a vote Of the people at the general election
in November, 1879, for their ratification Or
rejection. 1t will thus be seen that j: tho
amendment passes through these three sew
eral stages, the first election for the reduced
number OK members for which it provides
would not take place until the November
election in 1880, and that, therefore, no
member OF the present Legislature who de-
sires reelection can be affected by it's
adoption. We have heretofore expressed
our decided approval Of such an amendment
and now reaffirm it. II the clause in the
new constitution fixing the numbers Of the
Senate at fifty, and OF the House at taco
hundred, had been separately submitted TO
the people, it woulG certainly have been
defeated. The beneficial results which it's
advocates predicted from its adoption have
not been realized, but, on the contrary,
their wholesome theories have all vanished
into thin mir. Ne never heard but one
argument in its favor, and .hat was that the
increase wouid render legislative bribery
ani corruption so difficult that il would not
bs attempted. Bet at the very first ad-
journed session under the new constitution,
tuo mem bere Of the House were virtually
expelled for corrupt practices in connection
with the passage OF the Williamsport boom
bill, and some others richly deserved the
same fate. The interests of the people did
not demand an increase Of their representa-
Cambria, Blair, Bedford OF Somerset coun-
ties should each elect tco members of As
seubly than that they, as q district, should
elect tno members Of Congress. If thirty
eight States are sufficiently represented in
In the lower branch of Congress by 293
mem bers, surely 100 members ought to be
enough to take care Of the interests OF the
people Of this State in the lower house Of
The Legislature. We trust that the public
press will not be afraid to speak ont on this
subject, so that the members Of the present
Legislature may form an intelligent esti-
mate OF public opinion in reference to it.
So far as we have seen an expression by the
papers of both parties, it has been very
pronounced in favor Of the amendments,

THAr the IA ional GuaId OF Lis State, a
very expensive Institution to thetaxpayers,
IS more ornamental than useful was abund-
antly demonstrated during the railroad
,io,s last July, when the Governor, or those
representing him, were constrained to call
on the President for military assistance to
quell the out break and preserve the peace.
There are entirely too many officere and
too few privntes, as is shown by the report
OF the Adjutant General, who states that
there are now in service ST. officers and
PASS enlisted men, or One officer to every
elsoen privates. The whole organization,
as 1t exists at present, is regarded by the
p,opls as a public nuisance aud totally in
efficient for the work expected from it in
no emergency. Governor Hartranft, him
self q military man, has no faith in It, and
the Legislature should take it in hand and
either reform it thoroughly or abolish ii
altogether.

THE leaders Of the Greeuback Labor
party in this State, encouraged by the fifty
tvo thousand votes polled for it's candidates
at the recent election, are organizing for
active and vigorous work during the ap-
preaching campaign, Francis w. Hughes,
of Pottsville, who is regarded as it's ablest
advocate in the State, and it's most promi-
nent candidate for Governor a: the election
next fall, delivered a speech last Saturday
night week ago in the Court House at
Harrisburg, in which lie discussed the
Greenback issue with all his admitted abili-
ty. Mr.. Hughes thinks and says that his
party cherishes a reasona BILE hope of carry
ing the State at the November election, and
intimates that in its conguering march it
may capture the Presidency In the contest
of 1880. This is q mos. com fortable politi-
cal delusion under which TO labor, and If all
greenbackers take ss rosy a view of the fu.
ture rs Mr.. Hughes does, they certainly are
a happy family. We are inclined to think,
however. that he is entirely too sang uine in
his hopes OF the future and that on the
morning after the next November election
ne will be a wiser if not a sadder man.
At the last election the Greenback Labor
party carried just one county in each of the
three large States Of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and New York, viz : Lucas county in the
first named, Luzerne in this State, and
Chemnng in New York. If Mr.. Hughes
bases his reasonable hope of victory at
the polls ia this State mex. fall on this beg
carly showing, his faith in the strength OF
his party is exceedingly elastic. He is an
old aud experienced politician and knows
that in this country there can be but two
great leading parties-the same parties
that have confronted each other since the
days of jefferson and Adams. Other par.
ties being mere offshoots of these have
time and again been organized and have
| sometimes achieved local success, but have
| disappeared as suddenly as they sprane
| into existence. Mr.. Hughes will once NOR,
! see what he has several times seen hereto
fore in the political history of this country
and that is that party based upon singh
/ idea, like the old anti-masonic party,.th,
late know-nothing party, and the presen
greenback party, is doomed to speedy disc
| luton The history of parties always re
( peats itself.

A CURIOUS STORY FROM NORTH CARROLL
EA.-lt is a fact not generally known that
the cemetery of the Methodist church in
Hendersonville, y. c., contains petrified
human body. About the year 1886 Miss
Adelne Bycrs lived with her father, Francis
c. Byers, fifteen miles south of that place,
in Henderson county. She was a bright
sweet girl, much beloved by all who knew
her, and her hand was sought in marriage
even before she was of marriageable age.
At last she was won by William Pipkney
Murray. whom she had known Ioug and
we'll Soon the nuptials were celebrated
and the ide and bridegroom set out in
search of a new country, following the set
ting sun to the Mississippi valley. There
they located and began the journey of life
together in real earnest. Prosperity and
happiness came to them, until at an unex-
pectei moment death cut down Mrs. Muir
/ ray in the very prime of life. The diScon-
solate widower, consigniug the body of his
deceased wife to the dust. as he supposed l.
sought ''surcease of SORROW in the wilds
of Texas. A few years afterward Dir,
Josiah Johnston, intending to return to
North Carolina, whence he had removed
with his brothei-in-law, Mr.. Murray, dis
inferred the body of Mrs. Murray for the
purpose of carrying it back with him. Im-
agine how amazed he was to find it in the
coffin just as he had seen it there years be-
fore. Tbs same features-almust the very
same expression. But what he saw was
not flesh-it was solid stone. The whole
! body had peirified. In that condition he
carried il 20 North Carolina, and delivered
it to the aged father, Mr.. Byers, who could
hardly donbt that his 6aughier had c'me
TO him asleep The news spread that Ade-
lines body had been turned into rock,
and great was the desire of everybody to
see it. Attempts were made, ii is said, to
steal it out Of the cellar where the old gen.
tleman had carefully concealed it, but they
were unsuccessful. All through the war il
was guarded by the father as the most sa-
cred trust, but few persons being allowed
to see il. About six years ago. however,
it was quietly buried in the Methodist ceme-
terry at Hendersonville. where. il is hoped,
il will be permitted W rsss unt.l the ''rssur-

THE reputation of the Pi.tsburg Dis
patch, whose prospectus FOR 1873 We publish
this week, as an ably conducted and enter
prising newspaper is so well established
that anything we could say in It's behalf
would not enhance it. 1t is a frst-class
most generous support. The Dispatch is
one Of the few Republican papers in this
State that supports the juiicious and liberal
p,licy Of Mr. Hayes towards the South, and
has the Independence to avow i.s adherence
to the best interests OF The country as su-
l,erior to the temporary success OF the
Republioan party. We trnst it's future
success will fully meet the expectations Of

The monster seen in She Mississippi
River above Memphis few weeks ago by
the captain and crew of a towboat reap
peared the other day near Island 95. This
time the frightful creature was seen by
some OF the crew of produce boat. The
monsers body was shaped like snakes,
his tail forked like a fish's and his bill
formed like pelicau's. His bill was about
six feet long. aud p flowing black name
Etood out from his head, which was erected
eight feet above the water, as he swan
majestically down the stream. One twist
of his forked tail knocked off the steering
oar of the produce boat and sent the crew
in terror to the hold. The i'll starred craft
now lies moored at Vicksbnrg, deserted by
all the crew but one man, the others believe
that the monster is lying in wait for this
particular boat to sink it out Of sight.
"A local excitement and temporary panic
were created at Wheeling, W. Va, on SUM-
day, by the discovery that the roof of ST.
Alphonsus's Catholic church, one Of the
largest in the State, was on fire. The
morning services were just over, and a
large party had assembled to witness a
marriage, when the smoke was seen issu-
ing from the ceiling. The plucky bridal
couple told the priest TO go on and the Ger
emony was completed. Pieces of the cell.
ing began falling, and a general stampede
ensued, In which several persons were
slightly injured. The fire was finally sub
tiec With loKs Of about $1,000. The
