W. Miller of New York and his party of sur veyors, who report the route a very feasible one. There is a good prospect of the road
 being built at an early day. The enterprise
 comments itself to our citizens and especially to our business men, and it is hoped that it will be met by them in a spirit of liberality, and with disposition to encourage it all in their power "Mine host' of the Stevens House,
 MT. D. A. Riker, showed his usual public spirit in all public enterprises, by entertaining the surveying party, fifteen in number, at dinner last Monday.
 MT. and Mrs. Sheriden W. Barnes of this place attended the ''Barnes Reunion held at Congamond Lake, near Suffield, on Thursday, | Sept 11th. They report a tirst-rate time, about 200 of the same name being present. The last Barnes reunion was held in TT at Lake Compounce near Bristol, and was also attended by Mir. and Mrs. B. of this place. l The next reunion will be held on the line of some railroad, to facilitate it's access from all parts, thereby largely increasing the attend ance. Now, we don't want to meddle with ''famiy" matters, but would suggest in a whisper to the committee on arrangements that Canaan, being at the junction of two im- portant railroads, is accessible from all parts of the state; here are to be found suitable spots for picnic purposes-wild and romantic and here, too reside perhaps as many of the Barnes tribe as in any other one place of it's size, in the state, composing a goodly part of the most respected and esteemed DOT ton of our community. You'll find the Can aanites big g-hearted and sociable; the land flowing with milk and honey, and your re- union, if held here, will muster more Harnesses than you will call together in any other place.

THE only basis upon which Senator BEN
HILLS anti-Southern claims speech can be
made acceptable in the South is that of
policy, mere policy; and those who are
willing 10 accept it in that way insist that
the non-payment of these claims shall be-
come general. c., that the claims Of loyal
claimants shall be excluded along with
those of disloyalists. There is not much
logic in this, for it does not appear that a
man who has u just claim against the Gov
ment should be debarred from collecting it
because another man has claim which is
not just. But the proposition is character
istic of the Southern Bourbons and indica-
tive of their hatred of their Union-loving
felow-citizens, The Atlanta Constitution
puts it in the following dog-in-the-manger
style:
Senator HILL has undoubtedly struck the
Keynote of Democratic policy. Let them all,
whether loyal or dsloyal be bundled up and
burned, and by so much do VIC put the past
behind us.
That is to say, we put the past behind
us when we prohibit any recognition of 10y
atty and compensation for services rendered
to the Government in the hour of its need
The way to dispose of this question is tc
debar no man from presenting any claim
but to pay only those which are proved tC
be just and equitable. This plan may in
woke the enmity and jealousy OF the ex
rebels; but what of that?

BURCHARD will about cover the object of
the law
1t has been said that Secretary SHERMAN
was opposed to this law; but it is known
that it was after consultation, and with his
approval, that Mr.. BURCHARD introduced
his bill. So if there be opposition to this
appropriation it attaches TO others and not
to him.
Very few applications for pensions will
be made in 1880, and during that year little
money will be needed. 1t is well known
to Commissioner BENTLY that it is gener-
ally the best class of soldiers who
have applied for pensions lately.
These men thus entitled to pension
were too honorable to ask it as long as they
could elle out living or get support from
relatives. But MS they grow old and infirm,
pressed by hard times and poverty, they
are compelled to ask the Government, in
whose service they were disabled, to give
them the pittance which is justly due
them.
1t is equally well-known to Mr. BENTLY,
or should be, that the bummers shirlSs, and
bomb-proofs were in haste to file their
claims before the fve-year limit expired
and thereby received their pension from the
date of disability.
Let Generals RICE (who lost leg in
battle), Cox, KEIFER, and JONES, of Ohio /;
BRAGG, BANNING, HARRY WHITE, and
other brave soldiers, together with the
genuine Southern soldiers who are Mem
bers of the House Of Congress, see that this
appropriation is made and they will make
glad the hearts of the soldier, his wife, and
little ones

TIE SUBSIDY BUsINEss.

The Chicago Tribune takes the following
view, of the Brazilian steamship measure
now before Congress. The case is very
plainly put, and il, as is assumed, the propo-
sition involves direct subsidy, and not n
remuneration of services rendered the Gov
ernment in the way of carrying the mails,
it should not prevail A gift is one thing
"a reward of service quite another. This
is what the Tribune has to say:
The scheme is again pending in Congress to
grant money subsidy to a line of steamers
between this country and Brazil. This is an
old job, and if II be adopted will furnish the
pretext and the precedent for the dozen or
more other lines that are waiting for like sub.
sides. This particular subsidy is demanded
for Mr., JOHN ROACH whose line has been in
operation u year. This steamship line is in
the receipt of large subsidy from the Brazil
ian government, and its large business isurged
by its friends as reason why the
line should be sustained by the Gov
ernment. of course there Is no justif-
cation for Congress to tax the people of the
| country to pay a man for running steam.
boat on the ocean. Why should the people
of the country who live by hard labor be
taxed to pay man for running q steamboat
TO Brazil any more than to pay him for en-
gaging in any other Improbable business T?
Whether the business be profitable or otherwise
does not lessen the immortality Of the subsidy
business. But us these Pennsylvania people
subsidists by trade and occupation-decare
that this line cannot be kept up without q
subsidy, why does not the proper committee
in one or the other branch af Congress send
for the books and papers of the steamship COM
pany and find out what the truth is rs regards
its business2 If the company is doing the i'm
mense business which it represents rs furnish.
ing evidence of tho necessity of the line, then
ii does not want subsidy; If the line is not
doing a business which will justify the longer
operation Of the line, then tho granting of a
subsidy will bo no less than plain robbery OF
the Treasury to enrich Mr.. JOHN Roach, and
in no sense in the interest Of commerce.

THE charges against Probate Judge LEE
upon which he has been indicted in South
Carolina and tried and convicted, were
based upon his absence from his Office and
inattenton to official duty at time during
the November campaign when the bull
dozers and rifle clubs had driven him out
of the State, when they had threatened his
life, and when he came to Washington to
invoke the protection of the Government
in behalf of himself and the colored people
of that State generally. If he had remained
at his post of duty he would have been
murdered But he sought safety in fight,
as most any man would have done under
similar circumstances, and now he stands
indicted, tried, and convicted as a common
felon. To secure his conviction a partisan
Judge, who would rather see him, innocent
though he is, in the penitentiary than in
the inoffensive enjoyment OF public office,
overruled many reasonable and we'll
founded objections to his trial, and the con-
spiracy against HIM has been carried out TO
the last resort. And LEE rejoices that he
is free citizen under free Government.

THE POTTER Committee was inaugurated
for the ostensible purpose of vitiating the
title of President HAYES by showing frauds
and corruptions in The election. 1t did not
run very far in that direction before it was
confronted with more Democratic frauds,
wrongs, and outrages than il cared to en-
counter. 1t then switched Off from that
track and sought to get even through an ex-
posure Of the cipher dispatches, and in that
it shared similar fate. None were found
that inculpated Republicans in any degree
in any attempt at fraud or wrong while the
revelations Of Democratic attempts to pur-
chase electoral colleges in part and thus de-
bauch and corrupt and subyert the elective
franchise of the nation were found to be
overwhelming. Since then the whole DEM
Ocratic party has been zealously engaged in
an effort TO establish the fact that there was
one man in that party who was utterly ig-
norant Of what all the rest of the party un-
derstood and knew perfectly well. This is
what has come Of the POTTER Committee,
and the world is asked to believe that SAM
VEL j. TiLDEN is ignorant Of the fact that
