National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1880-01-20

On the 22d of December the Secretary of
War transmitted to the Speaker of the House
Il letter advocating the restoration Of the for
mer rate of pay to the messengers aud labor
ers employed in that Department. This action
on the part of the Secretary evidences praise
worthy desire on his part to do his share i'm
obtaining for worthy and efficient class of
employees an act of justice at the hands of
Congress. We cannot believe otherwise than
that If this matter is properly understood by
Congress it will receive the favorable consid-
Grafton that 1t deserves; in any event we
would earnestly recommend it to the favor of
every friend Of tho poor man in that body.
The act reducing tho pay Of these men was
unjust I'm the extreme, aud the quicker II Is
undone the better

duced early in this Congress aud created con-
siderable comment. Judge Kelley demanded
the yeas and nays on his motion to suspend the

General Hunton called attention TO the fact
that this was District day, aud the hour fixed
for the consideration of District business hav-
ing arrived, he claimed the floor.
Despite the protests of Judge Kolloy aud
Others the Speaker ruled that it WAS tho right
Of the District Committee to demand the con-
sideation of District business at this time,
even IN tue midst of roll.call, but that il
would come up as unfinished business after tho
next morning hour of a general business day,
when the call would DO completed. The House
then began the consideration Of business re-
lating to tho District of Columbia.
The first business coming over from last

fested to this bill because it was alleged that
the Commissioners did not recommend IL nor
the people of the District desire it. 1t was,
however, after much debate, passed with sew
eral amendments.
Mr.. Martin, OF Delaware, reported from the
committee a bill authorizing the Commits

About City Finances.

The financial condition of the city of
Wilmington is better now than it has
been for many years. There is abso-
lutely no floating debt, whatever, as
the few claims now outstanding have
been proOided for in M,s gears appro-
priations and will be paid during July
and August. By September 1st, the
city will have balance in bank of
from 100000 TO $125, 900, with no
outstanding claims, Notwithstanding
the legacy of bad debts left by The old
Republican management.
just now the city has no funds in
bank, as the payments necessary to be
made just now are slightly exceeding
the receipts of taxes. Among the
payments made are several for re-
demption of city bonds due July 1st,
to the amount of over $12, 500. These
bonds bear six per cent. interest, and
the saving effected by their redemp-
ton will amount to $3.50 per year.
Other bonds have also been redeemed
this year, and the total saving interesi
will reach about $500. Altogether
the people have reason to feel encour-
aged at the recent management of city
affairs and can surely have no objec-
tion to continuing the present muni-
cipal administration in power for an
other year.

CROSS REGATTA.

Mr.. A. j. Cross is now arranging for
another regatta, to take place on Satur-
day, July 3lst. 1t will be sweepstakes
race for yachts and skiffs, the first of
each class TO receive two-tb'rds of the
prize money offered for its class, and q
champion flag, the second of each class
to receive one-third of the prize money.
The course will be from the mou n of
the Christiana to Reedy Island buoy,
just above Port Penn, and ieturn, the
whole distance being about 40 miles.
Among home yachts likely to enter are
the Petrol and the Lille K, and among
the home skifls, the Guy, the Clipper,
the War Eagle, the A. J. Cross the Hen
rietta, the Dauntless, the America, and
number of others. Several boats are
expected from Marcus Hook aud from
Salem, N. j., and the skiff Emma D., of
New Castle will likely enter the regatta.
There will be no restriction as to the
amount Of sail any bort shall carry, and
it is thought this liberal arrangement
will induce many boats to come in that
have been excluded from other regattas.
This opening race will probably be fol-
lowed by number of others. Mr.. Cross
will try 10 have a steamer accompany
the contesting boats so tina. those who
are fond of aquatic sports may enjoy
the regatta.

Memory Tests ON Chester
Heights.

The Sunday-School Assembly on
Chester Heights is still progressing
mos favorably. Professor Mac
Harg's memory tests excited great
attention and considerable talk. At
the conclusion of days programme
j. Howard Seal asked the audience
all to go into the adjoining hall to
hear Professor MacHarg lecture on
Memory and How to Improve It.
He had himself taken lessons, and
as superintendent of IA Sunday school ,
he could now review his scholars at
the end of the quarter without book
or manuscript. The audience cheer
fully responded and gave the Pro-
fessor a very attentive hearing, their
interes5 being greatly excited by

Of all by the Rev. G. c. Mclean of
the Belmont M. E. Church, Phila-
delph'a, volunteering, although hav-
ing lly received four lessons, TO be
tested along with the other pupils.
That which is reckoned the sevei est
test is one done by the pupils on the
spot. The audience dictate a black
board full of words of the most dis
connected character; the pupils hear
but do not see the words. They
are then read once over by the Pro-
e,sor and the pupils are called on
to recite them in regular order, for
ward and backward. Mr.. Mclean
did this with the other pupils, and
added that he could now preach
without notes.

Politics are little quiet just now.
The nomination of General Hancock
takes well here, many believing it to
be the strongest nomination that could

PRICE ONE CENT
WHAT HANCOCK'S CANDIDACY
MEANS,
Senator Pc nd eton, of Ohio.

senator Pend etOn, OF Ohio.
Hancock's candidacy means peace, q
true frateI'nal Union, obedience to the
Constitution with ali its amendments,
government and country benificent
alike to all its people, and beloved by
all alike, d cessation of sectional diff
culties, cessation of the era of con-
stiuction and reconstruction, attention
to the measures of administration so
as to perform, either by action or non-
action, that duty which has always
been SO dear to the Democratic party,
of exalting the individual and redress
ing all the wrongs which law or law
lessness has inflicted on him. It
means peace at the polls without the
presence pr an army to preserve it; it
means free ballot to every citizen,
white and colored, native and natural
ized without marshals to electioneer
with him or supervisors to intimidate
him; it mi cans free elections, fair counts
peaceful inaugurations; it means TO re-
verse the ways of the Republican par
ty, to uncover lis corn upiions, to recti-
fly its errors and to restore to the gov
ernment the simplicity, the honesty,
the frugality of the Farmer Republic
which our fathers created. 1t means,
in one word, to garner and to gather
and to combine the blessings of that
Union which Hancock saved at Get
tysburg and of that civil liberty which
he established at New Orleans. And,
as his candidacy means the hope of
this blessed change, SO his election
would secure its full fruition.
