Floor Completed.

The new floor for the Opera House
has been completed and is 50x72 feet in
dimensions. 1t IS built so that it can be
taken apart and put together in very
short time 1t will be slowed away in
the basement until use for it is requir.
ed. Its construction has been superin-
tended by Mr.. Bayliss and all requi'
sites for strength and durability have
been carefully noted by him. The floor
will be used for the first time probably
by the Shields Library Association, on
the occa ion n their regular annual
ThapksHiynl, roception. Because OF
the unusual care placed upon the con-
struction of this flooring whereby a
highly d"sirThlr surface has been Sc
cured it will be used only for balls and
receptions. The old floor will be used
for fairs and ether similar entertain
ments.

Special Correspondence OF the REPUBLICAN.
WOODLAND, Aug. 20, 1879.
This morning dawned upon us in
great splendor, the golden sunshine
and fresh sweet air inspiring many to
early meeting at the tabernacle, which
was led by Rev. T. B. Killiam.
The $50 a. M. prayer meeting at the
stand was led by Rev. A. d. Davis, OF
Zion Circuit. Mr.. Davis has peculiar
fitness for conducting such meetings,
hence the frequency OF his appoint
ments to that duty.
Revs. +. B. Harvey, T. SIowden
Thomas and Jas. c. Wood Of Philadel-
phia Conference arrived to-day at 10Y
a. III. Rev. R. X. Stephenson of Anna
messex Circuit preached from l03
Psalm 3 verse. "Who forgiveth all
thine iniquities, who healeth all thy
Diseases" Mr.. Stephenson is a native
of Port Deposit, the youngest brother Of
Mrs. DIR. Matleck, and gives promise of
a good and efficient preacher and pas.
tor.
A very large congregation has been
present during the day. The weather
is most delightful, and the camp, in all
its interests, is a great success. ! forgot
to mention in my last communication
the arrival of Rev. John 7. Lighter, OF
Washington, D. C.
At 2.30 p. m, Rev. Adam Stengle, of
Crisfeld, preached from the 18th Psalm
and 4lst verse-"And limited the holy
one of Israel"
He presented a logical and striking
argument for "the power of man to
limit God in securing the salvation of
the race" A prayer meeting was
held at the stand before the sermon In
which lhree persons were converted.
The prayer meeting was resumed after
the sermon with good results. Rev.
7. B. Killiam preached at 7 this even
ing from How long halt ye between
TWO opinions.

THIRD EDITION.
senator COnk iing's status.

Washlugton Cor. Phil adelphia Telegraph.
The Conkling -Sprague scandal at
first attracted very little interest In
this city, because OF the general dispo-
sition of the people here to attribute
the apparently exaggerated accounts to
more Of political movement to iniure
Senator Conkling. The facts is, how
ever, that there is marked change
taking place in the conservative senti-
ment OF the country in reference there
10, by reason of the fact that the more
the matter is probed, the more unpleas-
ant truths appear to be developed. 10th
as is tn moral sentiment to attach
guilt to persons occupying the promi-
nent positions of Mrs. Sprague and
Senator Conkling, when once its sus-
picions are aroused, its verdict is gem
orally very severe, and this, unfortu
natsly appears to be the tendency OF
the convictions of the better classes of
the city. Outside of social circles here,
tine effect upon Senator Conkling is very
strikinglv manitesting itself in political
circles. prominent politician in this
city remarked that. unfortunately for
Senator Conkling, he is so barren OF
the natural elements that attach men
to each other, that, attacked as he now
is from all sides, he has nothing within
himself by which to win either sympa
thy or a disposition of his fellow-men
to overlook the crime with which he Is
charged. Almost any other public
man, with the personal attractions so
necessary to a successful public career
in this country, might recover from the
cloud that is now thickening around
Senator Conkling. Public men, who a
few days ago were ready to excuse and
deferd him have nothing to say, but
rather by their manner add to the
growing conviction that the chances of
saving himself for future, that prom
ised the most brilliant political achieve
ments, are against him. The feeling
appears to be entertained more in sor-
row than from any disposition to injure
him. New Workers in this city, and
among them some of his most ardent
political supporters, say that If his
election for another term to the United
states Senate was to take place this
tall, few of the Republican members OF
tie New York Legislature from the rural
districts of the State, could be induced
to vote for him, and without this class
Of support he never could be again
elected.

Onr NeiGhb OrA.

from lne Denton UnlOn
This has been fruitful seasoa to the
farmers of this Peninsula. The wheat
crof is perhaps the largest ever grown.
D! early potatoes there was an abun-
dant crop. The crop of vegetables is
large and not equalled by any in form
rr years. The fruit crop, excepting
apples and cherries, is quite abun-
dant and sufficient to meet home de-
mands and supply the city markets.
The peach crop, though not equal to
that Of 1875, yet is amply sufficient to
meet the wants of all our large cities
and supply home consumption. The
corn crop promises fine yield, and to
the acreage grown, will produce an
abundance of this grain. Altogether
the crops of this Peninsula are the best +,
for several seasons past, and the fnan-
cial condition of our farmers and fruit
growers ought to be considerably i'm
proved.
Mr.. John Tracy, has renewed his lease
of the Atlantic Hotel at Ocean City, for
five years, beginning June 9th, 1880.
An addition of one hundred more rooms
will be added.
The new saw mill of L. 4. Jackson &
Co., at Salisbury in place of the one

The Railroad Bridge Foot Path.

This morning there was a meeting Of
the committee of City Council in con.
junction with Geo. C. Gordsn, counsel
for the railroad company, Benjamin
Nields, counsel for Pusey & Jones,
and City Solicitor Macallister, to
consider the question Of erecting
a foot path over the railroad
bridge across the Brandywine. 1t was
discussed, and from the burden of the
conversation it was manifested that the
railroad company did not care to un.
dertake any improvement, whereby
they might be made responsible for
any accident. 1t was finally decided
to file an amicable bill of answers in
the Court of Chancery and submit all
the legal questions that may arise.
The company are not unfavorable to
the improvement, and as soon as they
see that they have been removed from
all responsibility Of damage to pedes-
trian and relieved from all legal prose-
cution in whatever suits for damages,
may be entered, they viii! lay foot
walk willingly.

POSTAL vs..
The Law I'm Relation to second
Glass Mail Matter.

The Postmasters attention throughOu,
the United States has been directed Il
the provisions of Section 1893, Postal
Laws and Regulations, editions Of 1879
in relation to the transportation by
mail of second class mail matter. The
section Is as follows:
After publication has been deter
mined to be of the second class, the
publisher thereof may, II he so desires,
formally enter the same at the post
office where mailed, and print upon
each copy thereof the words: entered
at the pOst-office at as second
class matter"
Publications SO entered, and having
printed upon each copy the words OF
entry, may be exchanged as second
class rates with other second class pub
locations, and may be regularly sent at
second class rates as complimentary, to
customers or business agents Of the
publication, and to other persons solely
in the interest of the publication itself
or Its Publishers or employees as such.
The formal entry will consist in q
written notification OF the publishers
desire to the Postmaster, who will for
ward copy of such entry to the First
Assistant Postmaster General.
The Unauthorized printing by pab-
Usher of the words herein prescribed,
or their equivalent, will render him
liable to the penalty prescribed in sec
ton 1877, which reads as follows:
"Any person who shall submit or
cause to be submitted [for transporta-
tion in the mails any false evidence to
the postmaster relative to the character
of his publication shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and upon con.
viction thereof ia any court of compe-.
tent jurisdiction, shall for every such
ofense be punished by fine of not less
than one hundred dollars nor more than
five hundred dollars"
The department very much express
that the entry of second class matter
may be made universal at all post Off
ces. The postmasters are therefore
to call the attention of pub
fishers to the above named sections,
and spare no pains to have all the put
locations transmitted through the mails
from the Office, formally entered there
at, it will he observed.
1st. That no publication is to be en-
Tered unless entitled to pass through
The mails as second class matter.
I'd. That no publication is to be en-
.ered unless formal application for en-.
.ry be made by the publisher thereof.
Sd. That when entered the words of
,ntry should be printed in some con-
'picuous place upon each copy of the
publication.

VINO is Hiram Pratis +:
For the Republican,

Va tho ANSPupAiS"h'
MEssRs. EDIToRs We had though
that there had been enough said in re
lation to Sabbath breaking, but it ap
pears that there is class of people VIII
see every bo!y's fault but their own
We see that after communication
came out in last Wednesdays paper
that the people who dislike the idea 0
being called ignorant have been usin,
all the vile language that they possibl,
could about "W. L. g." but did not
like man should, go and face him.
They have found one Hiram Pratis
who thinks that he can show his wis
dom by advocating that it is right t
encourage our people in this city Il
spend from S., 900 to Sc, 900 every veal
on the last Sunday in this month ir
order to help the railroad companies
and the steamboat lines to fill our city
with thousands of people, who never
see inside OF church during the day,
but instead they promenade up and
down the streets, eating, drinking,
fighting and making general display
Of their ignorance, yet they tell us that
it is time for us to look for better
things. We are not opposing your
meetings, as some Of you say, but we
do and always will oppose the street
traffic. Again we say it is ignorance for
any set of people in christian land to
act 80. In regard to the camp that Mr..
Pratis speaks Of we know nothing Of
it. There may be camp at Smyrna
for all we know, yet if things are con-
Quoted there as they have been in this
city on the last Sabbath in August, we
certainly are opposed to it, as we are
Just as Euch opposed to sin in one
place as in another. We can prove to
you that the church which "W. 4. g."
i0 member had nothing to do with it.,
and more than that our ministers did
not go to the Smyrna Camp. Pratis
says that "W. L. g." called the people
who held these meetings "damnable
iguorants. This we deny, and pro-
nounce the statement to be false. What
we did say was this "That this street
traffic on the Sabbath day was brought
about by the most ignorant class of our
race, and that it was one of the greatest
sins" We hope this statement will
satisfy you, if not come on and we will
try and give you satisfaction. We
would have Pratis to know that this is
not fight against churches but fight
against Sabbath breaking. Let it be
carried on by whatever member of
church he may be, the man who does
it is certainly violating Gods law. A
man who carries on this traffic on the
Sabbath and says he is striving to keep
the Sabbath day, is he not an ignorant
man We say he is, and have just as
good right to form an opinion as
Pratis has. Now go on with your meet
ng, bat remember the Sabbath day
and keep it holy, and above all things
beseech you do not have any street
market on Sunday. W. L. G.
