The studied design of the democrats in

The studied design of the democrats in
congress to avoid the discussion of all sub
lects which might lead them into prominent
controversy with the opposition elemen,
has sunered a break. Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, could not res. under the restraint
imposed upon him, and has offered a reso.
luton against interference with the existing
volume of the currency or its legal tender
quality. The argument on the resolution
was participated in solely by Mr.. Morgan,
and whenrhe concluded an ominous silence
prevaded both sides of the senate. Ben
Hill. of Georgia, is said to be preparing a
great speech upon the legal tender subject,
but which side of the question he will take
has not yet t%ranspired.

A dispatch from Skowhegan, Maine, says
the counting out Of that town at Augusta is

mentions the prevalence ofgreat indignation
there. The mayor and aldermen Of Rocklaud
have adopted a resolution condemning the

At Philadelphia, General Grant was
asked BY an interviewer whether he had &C.
cepted the presidency of the Nicarauga
Canal company, rendered him by Admiral
Ammon. II hardly know enough about the
scheme to say much about it," remarked
General Grant. "But," urged the question:

accepted the presidency ofthe company ?'

You on that point. 1 certainly have not
accepted the presidency of it."

The few enemies of the bond proposition
are %insiduously at work disseminating mis-
representations among a class of people
Who have not the inclination or the oppor-
tunittes to post themselves on the subject
One Of the arguments employed is that II
will requires tax levy Of twenty-five per
cent. TO pay the indebtedness. which, OF
course, has . tendency to frighten the
small property holder who believes the
statement. A little figuring will convince
those people that all such statements are lies

c0cted BY men who desire to saddle
the expense of this improvement Upon a
few and then enjoy the profits ofthe invest
ments Of others. The poorer classes will be
proportionately more largely benefited by
the coming Of the Milwaukee road than
Will the richer classes. An improvement
q auch great magnitude will bring
sdemand for labor, a demand for the smaller
necesaries Of life, a demand for the cheaper
class Of buildings and for the least expensive
building lots or fractions of lots. A COM
munity Of laboring people will be built up
here in our midst, and all the benefits of
fellowship which follow such association
will become theirs. The hard headed,
stingy advocates Of opposition TO the

wonderfully fertile in resources agains, the

assessment for the Improvement. To raise

LITERARY SOCIETIES,

1t has been our pleasure to visit quite number
of country literary societies this winter, and must
say, in our estimation, found none equal to the
Middle Branch Literary Society. We have been
there several times, always finding good audi.
ence, good order, and quite an interest msnifeS
ted by members, and as we'll on the part of spec
tators, many coming from quite distance we
suppose principally to hear the discussions, which
are very interesting, some good debatars partici-
patins. They have adopted the question of
womans suffrage for discussion Saturday even.
ing, Feb Sth, 1879 Let all interested in this I'm.
portant question go and hear. We also find in
this society good vocal and instrumental music
rendered, which alone is worthy of merit, and
something very essential to societies of this kind
everywhere. ANtOBsERvER.
