blage OF the most distinguished people
at the capital.
No reason has been ASST gned tor the
separation other than that Ex-Governor
SWAIN was opposed TO this style OF Nv
ing, and had entered serious objection
to it. This check did not please her
ladyshrp, and it was soon discovered
that GOODNESS existed between them,
which the friends and relatives OF the
Ex-Governor took no steps TO interfere
with, simply maintaining neutral posi-
ton and allowing matters to take their
course. Subsequently Mrs. Swami took
her departure for Princeton, and the ex-
Governor left for Baltimore with Mrs.
DIR. Carter and her husband, gentle
man of fine presence and elegant style,
aud the accomplished widow OF his only
son.
Last summer, instead of going to
Newport, they spent the summer with
DIR. Coates at his country residence III
Maryland. The Ex-Governor has now
returned to this city, and is again seen
with his elegant turnout bowling along
the avenues and drives of the capital,
while his wife remains domiciied at her
residence in Princeton. Mrs. DIR. Car
ter and young Mrs Swami will dispense
the elegant Inequalities of the ex-Gov-
errors home during the coming winter
in manner more in consonance with
the good aged statesman's wishes than
was the case last season.

FROM kERNEYSYILLE.

We came near having fire at this
place few nights ago. The ceiling in
the upper chamber of the house occu-
pied by Mrs. Alevia Hamill caught fire
from a lamp, Uhe ceiling was of pine
and the lamp was standing upon bu-
reau), but was discovered in time TO pre-
vent fire.
Miss Jessie Hinkle aud Miss Lily
Hamill had a narrow escape few days
ago. They were driving across the rail
road at Browns Crossing, and did not
perceive train which was approaching,
until it was nearly upon them, but for
tunately they succeeded in escaping a
contact with tie passing engine. They
will look out for locomotives more care
fully next time.
The Sabbath School at this place is
getting ready for Christmas, and prom
Use to erect a Christmas tree for the
members of the school. The collectors
are busy soliciting funds to detray the
expenses of the treat.
Water is getting to be scarce com
modify in this locality. Ponds, cisterns
and wells are all falling, and upon some
farms the supply of water is already ex-
hausted. The spring at "Travelers
Rest" is popular rallying poiut now.
Six Of Mr.. Carey's active opponents
have been put under bonds to appear
before the next meeting Of the Grand
Jury, and peace and quiet reigns in
both "IIartstown" and "Slabtown."
Capt Josh Uamill and Mr.. G. &.
Getzendanner have the celebrated Plank
Plow on exhibition here. 1t is claimed
for this Implement that it is oEe of the
best turning plows now in use.
Affairs about Iorace's Gap are NOV,
ing along in their usCal quiet way.
At Lectown, the main point of inter
est is the meeting still in progress at the
Brick Church. Twelve or fourteen
have protested conversion, and others
are still seeking.
On Tuesday of last week, | run over
the hill 10 Ganotown, Berkeley county,

late 10 witness the ceremony, but was
in time to kiss the bride, and to enjoy

which We did ample justice, two weeks

We returned in the evening, and had
the good fortune to sight three wild
turkeys on our return, but we only sight

He also calls the attention of Congress
to the paramount subject of education
and its progress, urges the completion
OF the Washington monument, and IN.
vokes generous policy on the part OF
the national legislature towards the
District ofColunbia,its througtfares,ap-
proaches ard its schools.
The message is clearly and plainly
written, and reviews all the national at
fairs in an exhaustive way. The coun
try will probably be surprised to find
that the subject of civil service reform,
which it was generally supposed had
been abandoned, still occupies such a
large space in the Presidents thoughts.
His remarks and his recommendations
in regard to the treatment of the cur
rency will be generally welcomed and
applauded as resting upon the soundest
financial principles, and the tone OF the
message is throughout conciliatory and
conseryative.-Bah Sun.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, d. c..
Dec. 2nd, 1879.

wv 1870, ASf~-
The opening of Congress yesterday
was not in any way impressive, and was
not as interesting as usual. The message
of Mr.. Hayes and the important reports
of Departments had been sold in ad-
vance 10 newspapers, and not only Sen
ators and Representatives but the crowd
in the gallery were already informed OF
its contents before the formal reading
commenced.
Of the message itself it may be said
that there Is little in it but routine mat
tiers. Foreign relations are pleasani,Ihe
country is prosperous, &c. There are
two or three subjects treated at length
which are of exceptional interest.
Mr.. Hayes recommended the retire
ment OF all lie greenbacks. This is not
entirely new recommendation tor
Republican Executive, Grant having
asked that in certain cases that the legal
tender quality be taken from this class
Of paper, and Secretaries Bristow and
Morrill, of Maine favored the complete
destruction of this circulation. But the
position OF Mr.. Hayes on this subject
has not been well understood until very
lately. Both he and Secretary Sherman
were very reticent until after the Fall
elections.
Mr.. Hayes says much for civil service
reform. This irresistibly reminds one
OF the Vermont man, who, having muir
dered his father, spent the rest of his
life praising him. Until the incoming
OF Mr. Hayes and his Cabinet compare
lively little was known of he violations
of Official propriety by occupants of the
White House and high government Off
Gals. Mr. Hayes commenced by get
ting Stanley Matthews into the Senate
in place of Garfield, and has meddled
with Eearly every political contest that
has occurred in Ohio since. His Cabi-
net officers have stumped the States
prodigally.
As TO what Congress will do, little
can be said with certainty. Both par
ties will be governed almost wholly by
their respective caucuses, 10 be held this
week OF course the appropriation bills
will be passed, but | hope with amounts
largely reduced from the estimates |
wish TO repeat what so often has been
said, and what is known TO every old
I. Washingtonian, that every Department
costs too much. | believe in reasona-
BILE salaries, and in plenty of officers TO
transact the public business But at
present, and for the last fifteen years, at
least, we Lave had too many officers,
and employees, and tar too many an-
thorized ways of squandering public
money.
No bills were introduced yesterday,
and, except under suspension of the
rules, none can be in the House until
next Monday. Mr.. Kelly will, howev-
er, today attempt to get before the
House a resolution denying the right OF
the Executive to conclude a treaty
which shall fix rates of duties on impor-
tant articles. The bill to create the OF.
flee of Captain General will be intro
duced at the earliest opportunity.
Transfer of the Indian Bureau TO the
War Department will be urged at once.
This Bureau, as we'll as others of the
Interior Department, is not believed by
any one to be efficiently conducted.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Editor-Prompted by that which
every man should have for his race, VIZ:
love, wish 10 call the attention OF the
public 10 the fact that my people are
not to be blamed in full for the troubles
in which they have gotten from viola
tions of law. There Is an Invisible
hand, or GREAT WHEEL around which
these small wheels revolve. Last year
many of tie colored citizens OF Shep-
herdstown got into trouble about the
public free school, doing what they
were advised TO do by those whom they
took to be their friends--not knowing
at the time that their best friends were
thev who advised to the contrary. L
also see in your last issue that the col
ored people at Kearneysville have got,
ten into trouble about their school, and
am very sorry indeed. | know nearly
all of the colored people about kerneys-
Vile, and were it not for the unseen
hnnd, or great Uieel, alluded TO above,
Prot. Carey could have not so justly
and uuthiully compared his troubles
and trials with those of Job, and the
colorrd people who now stand as viola
tors OF law would be considered peace
able citizens. | was afraid that my
Kerneysyille friends would get into
trouble, and | went out there two or
three times and talked the matter over,
Just 10 save my friends. l knew Prot.
Carey had sense enough to take care OF
himself, so | was looking out for my
people.
When John Brown captured llar-
per's Ferry, he knew just what his des-
tiny would be if his friends and advisers
fo:sook him, but my colored friends did
not know it. History tells us that the
heather worship idols, and still they are
not accountable for their folly until they
refuse the light when it is given. The
way my people look at things which
concern their best interests Is equlra-
lent TO the worship of idols Unless
the colored people drop these pretended
friends of theirs, who are getting them
into small troubles, they will soon get
into a condition that will clearly prove
that they are not worthy of the posi-
tons they hold in these United States,
| hope the time will soou come when
colored people will appreciate intelll-
cence, instead of trying to destroy those
who are intelligent. Fools are not do
ing much harm among the people, but
those whom people think are wise.
Some people will work until they gain
the confidence of many. and get them
to follow, aud then they will lead them
to the devil before they can get away
from them again.
