The Order Of the knights Tenn
plar.

There can be no doubt that Free
masonry was of very early origin.
Its rights known only to the order,
were preserved without being com
mitted to writing, by being impressed
by object-teaching on those that trans
mitted them through the generations
Freemasonry was also As wide spread
as it was antique. Wherever a city
was to be built or a te.uple erected,
there the masonic fraternity fiocked.
The workings Of the order have been
traced to the Pharoahs and Solomons
of the east, and even to the times Of
the construction Of the ark and the
building Of Babel. Their art, as
hewers and locators Of rock, neces-
. sar,ly involved migration. A mason,
even in his apprenticeship, could moi
settle down among neighbors and
kinsfolk, but was obliged to travel tc
find employment. What wonder,

The masonic fraternity became very
prominent in Europe during the era
OF church and cathedral building, and
the term Free had its origin in its ex-
emption from the taxation TO which
other craft we're subjected. Their
ability made them popular with the
clergy, and the Knights Templar, a

The Democrats and Nationals Of
Pittsburg have come to a very sensi-
lie agreement. Each organization, as
Senator Wallace aptly phrased it, is
a protest against the men and mea-
sures of the Republican party. Di-
vided they can do nothing. United
they will be invincible. Recognizing
this fact, they, of the smoky city,
have come amicably together, and
will cooperate, upon equitable prin-
ciples, with each other, at the spring
elections. The offices will be divided
between the two parties in proportion
to the votes they respectively polled
at the recent election. AS to the local
offices, it makes no material differ
ence which party controls them, so
that they are filed by men honest and
capable, who win not prostitute their
powers and profits to the maintenance
of the State and National Republican
dynasties.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The session of the Legislature which
opened in Wheeling on Wednesday. is
attracting much interest throughout
the State. The election of officers pass
ed off without much excitement, and
resulted in the selection of excellent
men for the various positions. Capt
Geo, H. Moffett was elected Speaker of
the House, and Col. d. D. johnson
President of the Senate
The session promises to be one Of
work. There are many questions to
occupy the attention of the body dur>
ing this session, prominent among
which will be the consideration of the
county court system. We have no
suggestions as to what shall be substitu-
sed for it as that will no doubt be set
tied by our Legislators. However we
must not expect too much, but be sats
isfed with their work when it is done
for what seems best.

That is the only policy which has for this news

stituency than ever enjoyed by any other Amer
lean Journal.
The son is the newspaper for the people 1t is
not for the rich man against the poor man, or for
the poor man against the rich, but it seeks to do
equal justice to all interests in the community. 1t
IS not the organ Of any person. class sect or party
There need be no mystery about IT'S loves or hates
Il is for the honest man against the rogues every
time. 1t is for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest Republican
against the dishonest Democrat. II does not take
it's cue from the utterances Of any politician po-
lcal organization. 1t gives its support unreserYedy
when measures are in agreement with the
Constitution and with the principles upon which
this Republic was founded for the people When
ever the Constitution and constitutional principles
vioated-as in the outrageous conspiracy Of
1876 by which man not elected was placed in the
Presidents Office, where he still remains-it speaks
out for the right That is THE SUNS idea Of indie
pendence. In this respect there will be no change
in its programme for 1879.
THs sew has fairly earned the hearty hatred Of
rascals frauds end humbugs of all and sizes.

It is printed for the men and women Of to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs Of to-day.
1t has both the disposition and the ability to afford
its readers the promptest, fullest and most accurate
intelligence Of whatever in the wide world is worth
attention. To this end the resources belonging to
well-cstabshed prosperity will be literally en-

January LIST, 1879.
Editors New Domtni0n:-
The teachers of Battelle District
closed their Institute on the 31st ult.
| think we had the most profitable,
as well as the most interesting, SEES
sion that l have attended. The ex-
ercises of each day were opened by
singing and prayer. A critic was
elected for each half day. 1t was in
teresting to notice the few mistakes
the teachers made in speaking com
pared with what they made in the
Institute one year ago The first day
was spent in giving the reports from
the several schools, which were very
favorable as to their condition. 1--WE
are striving to get the banner in Bat
telle this winter. 1t was gratifying
to see the house well filled with visit
ors each day, many of whom took an
active part in the work. The exer-
cises were all interspersed with vocal
music.
The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported the following, which was unan-
imously adopted
ReSoJged 1st, That we are in favor
of the graduating system, and tender
our most hearty thanks to our wor-
thy County Superintendent, Mr..
Wade, for the interest he has taken
in that direction.
ReSoloed I'd, That we make the
per cent. of attendance in our several
schools a special work and that we
will endeavor to increase the same by
all consistent means.
ReSolUed Sd, That it is the sense
Of the teachers Of the Institute that
the teachers salary should not in any
degree depend upon the percentage
of attendance.
Resolced 4th, That we think we
could teach more successfully if our
schools were furnished with globes,
outline maps, cubical blocks and
mathematical frames.
Re$olced 9Th, That it is the sense
of the teachers Of Battelle District
that there should be a graded school
established at West Warren.
Res0Ired 9th, That we tender our
thanks to the visitors who have at
tended our Institute and given us
their undivided attention during the
session. S. j. HALL,

The worst feature of the govern
ment bond transaction in which Sec
rotary Sherman and the First Nation
al Bank of New York have so con
spicuously figured, is not that the
Secretary has shown fayoritism to
that particular bank. The great
wrong committed consists in the fact
that the government has had, under
our finance minister's direction, to
pay two interests upon large portion
Of its debt for period of three months
No well established bushes house
would allow itself to be subjected to
such necessity, and ifany employee
shouldinyolve it in a costly scheme of
this kind, the extreme probability is
that he would be voted a conspirator
and swindler,a and would be summarily
dealt with as SUCH The plain Eng
lish of Sherman's transaction is that
to the extent of the interest paid on
the old bonds after the money was
received for the new, John Sherman,
for the benefit of the bark, has stolen
the government monies; and the ire
sistible inference is that he has peck
cted share of the plumber

The people Of this country, during
the present year, have consumed an
average of so pounds of sugar per
head, the gross cost of which, in gold,
in the West Indies, South America
and other lands abroad, is about $l00,
100000. 1t would be interesting to
know how much of this, and of terra
alba and other harmful substances
with which candy is adulterated, has
been eaten by the average girl in the
shape of sweetmeats. The revelation
would doubtless fully explain the
dentists harvest.

1t is said that the Democrats Of
Ohio are determined to nominate Sen
ator Thurman for Governor. He is
regarded as the only man in the State
who is certain to lead the party there
to victory, Although Mr. Thurman
has said that he will not be a candi-
date for Governor, it is hoped he may
be induced to alter his decision. Gar
field and Foster are both mentioned
as candidates on the Republican side;
the former is believed to be the great
er favorite of the two with the peo-
pie.

Blaine's big Southern outrage gun
failed to boost him on toward the
Presidency as anticipated; in fact, it
looks as though the darned thing had
kicked, and sent Jeems the opposite
way. The fact that ,Cameronism in

doing in Massachusetts will come in
for investigation on Thurman s
amendment, makes Blaine's investi

A subcommittee of the Blaine out
rage Committee goes to New Orleans
at once. They have lists Of witnesses
from Mr.. Hayes, Mr.. Blaine and Mr.
Devens. 1t is not believed that they
will stay long, though that is not GER
tain, of course. The Committee got
its money by decision of the Acting
Attorney General, orer-ruling de
cision formerly made by the First
Comptroller Of the Treasury. While
everybody is anxious that the Com
mittee should 60 on and do its work,
there is great deal Of dissatisfaction
at this decision Of the Acting Attor-
ney General. The decision is, in sub
stance, that what the legislator wrote
when he presented the bill to Con-
gress shall be held to be the law rath-
er than what was made law in due
form by the action of Congress and
the Executive. There could hardly
be more dangerous proposition than
that. To be sure there was reason for
believing that Congress meant to pass
the bill as presented, but there is a
certainty that it did not SO pass it.
This kind Of construction, in a case
of importance, might have the most
dcplorable consequences. 1t is freely
suggested that Assistant Attorney
General Phillips should find a field
for the employment Of his talents
outside the Attorney Generals Office.

General Grant and wife have been
sojourningin foreign lands for two
years; no doubt at the expense of the
administration. Lately it has been
decided to reinforce the former force
by adding Fred, the Generals son, to
the party. Fred has been enjoying
lucrative position in the army for
some time. During his absence his
pay goes right on. And not only
does his pay 60 on, but he is furnish
with steamship, free Of expense, by
the government. 1t is mighty nice
for the Granite, but rather rough on
American taxpayers.

searching catnar-
tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day.
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafled the best of
human skill While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
