Ga Monday night last the stores OF d. 4.
Albaugh and J. Englar 4 Son, at Linwood,
we're broken open and robbed Of money,
clothing, kc. Entrance was made by forcing
open the side windows by erowbar or other
heavy instrument. Both stores were ran.
sacked, and such articles as they wanted care.
fully selected Englar Il Son lost about $40
in small change and 500 worth Of goods. Mr..
Alhaugh had small SUN OF money taken and
FIVE suits Of fine clothing. The total loss is
about $3.50. AS soon as tho robbery became
known search was instituted for traces Of the
robbers, aud resulted IN finding Ave suits Of
very ragged and dirty clothes lying near the
rairoad track, about mile from the station
towards Baltimore. Ii Is therefore thought
that the robbers we're tramps, who laid in
wait in the neighborhood until the residents
had sll retired, and then robbed in security,
afterwards changing their old clothing and
putting on the new. No farther traces OF the
thieves we're found si.NfI.rH i

The cattle disease scare in Eng.
land has been made the subject of
investigation by the Liverpool Privy
Council, reports having been put
forth of the danger of importing cat
tie from the United States and Can
.da. 1t is believed the statements
have been greatly exaggerated by
parties whose business interests
might be disastrously affected by
cheap beef from America, IS there is
no rinderpest, pleuro-pneumonia, or
other infectious disease raging
among cattle in this country.

nation. During the ADMINISTRATION
of John Adams, there arose threats
OF nullificationSand secession in con-
sequence OF the alien aud sediti,n
laws and acts opposed by the Demo.
Gratis. 1t is claimed that the cleo
ton OF Jefferson at this lime saved
the Union. Had Federalist been
elected, in the virulence of party
feeling, some states would bave Sc
coded as they did upon the inaugur-
alton OF Lincoln in 1861. The pow
er OF publication was formally avow-
ed and approved by two Democratic
States. 1t is claimed that the Hart
ford Convention held rear the close
of the war of 1872, entertained tres
sonable designs, and that New Eng
land contemplated secession, but
this was denied by the Federalists
and has never been proved. The
next Democratic attack on the ma
tional integrity was made hy the
Legislature OF South Carolina, VIII CHI
published to the world its theory Of
notification. Calhoun was the apps.
tie of this era, and during the agi-
tation of this subject occurred the
memorable debate between Webster
and Hayne. The constitution was
virtually placed on trial, and though
the general verdict was thatWebster
had won the case, the Democrats
still chung to their doctrine; and two
years later matters came to a crisis;
and preparations wele actually made
in South Carolina to resist the col
lection of revenue by national OFF,
GERS. Prompt action of the Govern
ment in sending troops and ship
of war to Charleston nipped the in
cipient rebellion in the bud. But
for thirty years thereafter the sword
of Damocles was constantly hanging
over the heads uf our nationality,
the repeated threats of secession
causing uneasiness and uncertainty.
Finally the crash came and secession
ensued with all the evils it brought
in its train. 1t was the legitimate
offspring of the Democratic idea. 1t
seems that even the war was not suf-
ficient to eradicate this idea; and
now the Democratic party openly
opposes the declaration that the ma
tional Government has the right to
enforce the provisions of its own
constitution. This is but a part and
parcel of the same doctrine which
has threatened the safety of the ma
ton ever since its inception. The
Democracy will not give it up. l.
may lie for years dormant and unno-
ticed in the bosom of the party, but
it is there nevertheless, ready to be
awakened on occasion. If the idea
and the party are inseparable they
had better make their exit from the
politics of the country together.
Meanwhile let it not be forgotten
that there is radical difference be
tween the Democratic party and the
Republican party.-Mik Sentinel.

A FINE Illustration of the success
of the attempt to make agriculturists
Of the noble wards Of the nation is
given in the case of the Ute tribe in
Colorado. There are there thousand
braves, squaws and papposes, and
they have twelve million acres Of
land-about the area of the State Of
massachusetts,, or four thousand
acres per capita. Of this amount
there are fifty acres under cultiva-
eicn. These Indians are fed and
clothed 10y the Government, in theo-

CAPITAL NOTES.
MADISON, Feb. LIST, 1879.


effect. Each evening something at
tractive in the way Of amusement
has been presented; among other
things a concert in which the ia
nous violinist, Ole Bull, took part,
and two comedy performances, in
which the inimitable John Dillon
was the leading character. At these
entertainments the members and Of
ficers of the Legislature, many OF
them accompanied by their wives
and daughters, were a prominent
part Of the audiences, and that they
enjoyed themselves is undoubted.
Thursday evening Governor Smith
and his charming spouse gave an
informal reception at their elegant
residence, where many flocked to do
honor to the chief executive of the
State, and all attending pronounce
it one of the most agreeable occa-
sions of the kind ever known in the
city.
Mentioning the Governor brings
to mind little political gossip heard
of late, to the effect that certain
elements of the Republican party
who feel sore over the failure Of
some of their friends to secure de-
sired places under Smiths admins
tration, will make an effort to pre-
, vent his denomination next fall. EX-
Governor Ludington is said to be
willing to enter the lists again, and
hopes to bring a solid delegation
from Milwaukee in his favor. AS
the present administration came in
after canvass generally thought
hopeless Il; and as the general policy
of the party has been to give officials
a second turn, we see no justice or
propriety in change now, and be-
lieve the people as whole will take
the same view when the question is
submitted for their consideration.
In some things Governor Smith has
seemed to us to err, and we have
not hesitated to criticize him, but a
careful review of his administration
show it TO have been wise in the
main, scyupulously honest, and fairly
economical. The Milwaukee Setti-
mel leads in the attempt to defeat
Governor Smiths denomination, and
urges as reason therefor that he
has been unduly influenced by the
Keyes element of the party in max
ing appointments, etc. Nothing
could be further from the truth, and
such charge is received here, where
the contrary is well known to be the
case, as ridiculous. 1t is we'll known
that the Reyes element of the party
put forth its best efforts to secure
the appointment of Sexton as Supt.
of Public Property, and Bintlitf as
Railroad Commissioner, without
avail, and since then no appoint
ment of importance has been made
The Legislature seems determined
to make this session short, having
resolved to receive no new business
after Tuesday next, February 4th.
But very few matters Of Importance
are among those yet in, and we hear
of none TO come in. The temper
ance resolution tho interest bill
the biennial sessions proposition
and bills changing rates of taxes on
railroads, insurance companies, etc,
are all stu in the hands Of commit
tees, and no idea as to the fate Of
either of them can be formed until
reports thereon are made.

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, February 14.-SEE-
ATE-The Vice President laid before
the senate credentials of the Hon.
Benjamin +. Jones, elected United
States senator from Louisiana for six
years from March 4. Also the Gre
dentials of the Hon. James B. Groom,
elected United States senator from
Maryland for six years from March 4,
1879. Read and placed on file.
Mr.. Morrell, from the committee on
finance, submitted a motion that the
house of representatives be requested
to return the bill to authorize certif-
Gates of deposit in aid of refunding
the public debt, passed few days
ago. In explanation of the motion he
said the object in having the bill re-
turned was to amend it so that the
proceeds may be applied to something
besides $40 bonds. These bonds were
so rapidly being refunded that soon
there would be none of them. 1t was
thought by the committee of the house
of representatives that it would be
best to amend so as to have it apply
to other bonds, and the house could
not amend it, the bill having already
passed that body. The motion was
agreed to.
HoUsE-The regular business of
the morning hour Of Friday is in pro
gress, and the bill for the retirement
of General James Shields has been,
amid a good deal Of confusion, referred
to the committee of the whole.
The senate committee on railroads
to-day heard further arguments con-
cerning the bill to authorize railroad
companies to construct and maintain
telegraph lines for commercial pur-
poses,
