firm is reported to have sold $4,000 bags

to Washington in 1861. Abraham Lin
coin called me. 1t was time of great
public exigency and there were great
many vacant seats in the Senate. There
were many vacant chairs then that are
occupied now. Those who had them
did not want them. Then so much of
the Senate as remained after sedition,
privy conspiracy and rebellion, proposed
to fll the vacancies, but the republican
Senate then made but one change, and
that on account of treason to the flag,
and now the subOrdinates of 1861, who
deserted their former fields of usefulness,
are back, demanding to be put IN their
ante-bellum positions Here they are,
and am willing to know that one of the
reasons why it Is necessary that these
places should be made vacant, Is that
this banished company of former occu-
pants have returned. They are coming
back to Join in this hot and famished
chase Of place-hunting, They have come
back to say, Moab Is my wash-pot, over
Edom have cast my shoe.
Northern democrats were dismayed
when they appreciated the effect Of such
debate on northern soldiers. Hill and
Eaton tired to make 1t plain that the
democrats did not intend to attack the
Presidential title or resort 10 any reyolu
tionarv means 10 undo the work Of the
electoral commission. They were com
PEELED by Blaine, however, to admit that
a large number of democrats had intend
ed to attack the title through the courts,
II the result of the Potter committee had
been different. This Is a very significant
debate. and clearly indicates that there
is no hope Of civil service reform under
democratic rule, there being altogether
too great thirst for office, and also that
a reasonable record viii be no bar to
official favor, but rather a recommended
ton in favor Of it.-LariSou journal.

A GREAT DEBATE N THE SEN
ATE.

A remarkable debate occurred in the
United States Senate. Monday, called out
bv motion Of Senator Wallace 10 pro
coed 90 the election OF officers of the
Senate. Senator Anthony protested
agaius, che change of officers. He
traced the records of the Senate officers
from the foundation of the government,
and showed that j, had been left for the
democrats at this late day 20 disregard
al former presidents and remove faithful
officers without cause. He drew q sketch
Of the officers of the Senate as he found
them twenty years ago, some of whom
had been twenty years IN their places, and
who. although democrats, the repubG-
cans have continued for their knowledge
and efficiency 20 this day. To the sur
prise Of the democrats In the Senate, he
presented list of thirty such officers, all
democrats, andmany Of them pronounced
and aggressive democrats. who have been
permitted TO retain their places through
all the DAYS of republican rule.
Senator baNdEu, profound Civil SeF-
vice refomer, found himself in an awk-
ward position in attempting to reply. 1t
was painful 10 witness his embarrassed,
besitating attempt TO find justification
for the democracy in Specious excuses,
In vain he tried 70 show that democrats
were actuated by no spirit of narrow
partiSan>hip: tina, they desired purity in
public service. and that reform should be
made.
Bayard unfortunately stated that en-
plovees Of the democratic Senate of 1861
had applied TO him 20 be reinstated, which

PARIS CENrESsrAL.-The good peo-

PARIS CENTENNIAL.-The good peo-
pie of Paris in the county of Oxford, are
to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary
of the settlement of that town some
time during the coming season. A COM
mittee was chosen at the late town meet
ing which have the matter in charge.
The township of Paris once called No.
4, was granted to Joshua Fuller and his
associates in III, for services rendered
by their ancestors in some of the Colonial
wars. The first settlers were from Mid
dleboro', Mass, and among them were
Lemuel Jackson and sons, John Willis
and families BY the name of Daniels.
Other early settlers have the names of
Forbes, Hathaway, Swan, Bryant, Tuell,
Perham, Barrows, Shaw, Rawson, Cum
mings, Hammond, Hubbard, Chase ,Steph-
ems, &c. The first minister was Rev.
James Hooper, native of Berwick who
became pastor of the Baptist church
gathered in 1895. He retained his posi-
ton for nearly fifty years and until his
death. The sass and daughters of Paris
from near and far, will be called together
on the approaching occasion, and there
will be a grand reunion. Among the
distinguished men and women who will
doubtless honor the occasion BY their
presence, being natives Of the town, we
may mention Hon Hannibal Hamlin,
Hon. Horatio King, Hon. Geo. +. Emery,
Mrs. Henry F.. Prentiss, Rev. Geo. X.
Shaw, f. j. Paris, Esq, and many 9TH
ers whose names do not occur to us at
this moment. There is no doubt that
the people of Paris will put forth their
best efforts to make the occasion one of
great interest, and if they do, they can
hardly fail.-Hame Farmer.

BRYANT's PoND, April f.-Thc Bryant :
Pond Reform Club had their regular meet
ing on the 30 inst. Sunday eve. There
was avery large gathering, and it was one
of the best meetings ever held at this
place. The town hall was packed full, and
the meeting was very interesting Our
new president, James Shceran was heartily
welcomed 10 the Chair. The speakers
were Sheerau, Bessc, Stephens and others
but the curiosity of it all was that we
had a visitor from Mass. and a reformed
man. have no doubt that was the eX-
preston of the whole assembly, and that
man was Jedediah Estes, formerly OF
Bethel where his family now resides. He
was formerly known as jed Estes by
his acts and deeds. He made some telling
remarks in his rambling speech. He said
when he went away from home, he was
full OF rum, but he came home empty,
clothed and in his right mind, and instead
of bringing home in his trunk bottles of
rum. he had brought the Bible. His looks
and actions corresponded with his state
ments. At the close of the meeting, sew
eral signed the pledge; among them, were
his wife, son and daughter. | think he
will exert good influence in his vicinity
in the future Our meetings are well at
tended every Sunday evening. The music
is excellent. SECY

SOLDIERS GRAVES.

1t is probably generally remembered
that in 1873, Congress passed a law pro-
yiding for the erection of durable head
stones over the graves of soldiers of the
regular and volunteer forces of the United
States whose remains are inferred in the
National Military Cemeteries. This law
has been carried out, and the graves of
the Nation dead in these cemeteries are
now permanently marked. At the IN
stance of the War Department, Congress
has recently authorized the erection of
similar hcadstoncs over the graves of the
Union soldiers who are buried in private
and village cemeteries This will be-
done aS soon as the necessary arrange
mcnts can be made. IN the meantime
the Quartcrmaster General, at Washing
ton, will at once proceed to collect the
necessary information as to where these
hcadstoncS are required. All persons
having any knowledge of the burial
places of soldiers in private cemeteries
whose graves are not marked, are request
ed TO communicate the fact to the Quar-
tcmastcr General, and give regiment,
company. and date of death Of deceased,
if known. Similar information is de-
sired from parties in charge of such Gem
eteries. OF course it is not intended to
furnish headstones for graves over which
monuments have already been erected by
relatives or friends of the deceased.

THE SOUTH SHOWING IT'S HAND.

There are many Democrats who are
not really ready for the restoration of the
Southern Confederacy, but who are
strongly attached to their party, and who
have tried 10 ridicule the charges of rebel
designs as nothing but Republican lies. y
Mr.. Randolph Tucker. Of Virginia came
to the front openly the other day with
proposition that the Republicans have
predicted but which the Democrats have
steadily declared mere Republican buga-
boo. viz: that the |. S. Army shall
be opened for the restoration of Confed-
crate officers. The Northern Democrats
have also pretended to scout the idea that
the South would oppose pensioning the
Union soldiers or demand pensions for
Confederates. The Jeff Davis debate
has given considerable light on this point,
and the article quoted elsewhere from the
leading Democratic paper of jeff. Davis
State, Mississippi, gives still more. 1t
protests against Provisioning the soldiers
who fought on the winning side OF the
war and who won simply because they
"had the most Greeks, and declares the
pensioning of the disabled defenders of the
Union "a monstrous crime. We won
der lust how much of that sort OF De
mocracy the War Democrats OF the North
can stand Wing.

Az ExGusuPApER on JEFFERSON DAVE

An ENGLISH PAPER on JEFFERsoS DAVIS.
The following appeared as an editorial
paragraph in the Newcastle (England)
Weekly Chronicle of March 8, 1879.
"a proposition has been submitted TO
the Senate of the United States TO bestow
a pension on Jefferson Davis as an old
volunteer in the Mexican war. Consider
ing the audacity OF the proposal, one can
not help feeling surprise that 1t should on
w have been defeated by amajority OF one
The Democratic character OF the Senate
however, accounts for the favor with
which the scheme was received. Davis
ought TO be grateful that he did not reap
the Just reward Of his treason, without
trying to impose himself as pensioner
upon country he did his utmost 10 ruin
Had he been guilty of the same crimes he
committed in America in any other nation,
he would inevitably have forfeited his life.
That he escaped without punishment Tor
his treachery TO the Republic was due TO
the almost romantic forbearance or the
people of the United States. One can
hardly believe, even If the impudent vote
had been carried, that the country would
have allowed it to be ratified"
