WE expend all the money, time and
strength we can possibly give toward
making the ENrKRPRIsK full, newsy
and readable local paper. flour readers
could compare the quality and quantity
ofreading, the excellence its mechan-
ical work, and the..good appearance 1t
presents with most papers of its class,
or Any class, they would be rather
proud of their own home paper.
When q subscriber, whose habit it is to
make as much Is he can out of every
business transaction, tells US he orly
takes 1t for the home news. and never
reads anything but the locals; he only
wants to make us believe that money is
a little too good stuff to squsnder on US
in payment, and make us humble
enough to take something else that he
has TO sell. But he is only cheatin 6
himself who neglects TO read the whole
and We will warrant reads worse matter
than we give our readers. What we
were going to say is this: That every
reader Of the ENrKRPRIsE who thinks
well of it may do us a great service by
handing it to . neighbor or friend who
does not take 1t, and induce him to sub
scribe for 1881.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON RESUMES ITS POLITICAL
PANOPLY AND SOCIETY SMILE-RRE.
PAIRING TO INACCURATE.

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, DC, Nov. 20.
Washington has been decapitalized
during the summer, but is now Begin
ming to resume those features and airs
which distinguish the capital during
the session and season. A winter of un-
usual political activity, intrigue, and
social gayety is anticipated. The DEM
ocratic party will make the most of its
brief tenure In the House and struggle
desperately to retain the organization
of the Senate. The board of Demo-
cratic Office holders who for six years
have held the southern end Of the Cap
ital will, after the 4th of March, form
an interesting little procession towards
their homes in Georgia, Mississippi,
Alabama, Tennessee, Texas and Vir.
ginia. They will in all probability be
followed by thoir confrers from the
other'end Of the Capital, for the control
of the Senate will depend upon Senator.
elect Malone, Of Virginia. To which,
ever side his imponderous ply steal. but
mighty political personality inclines
will belong the control of the United
States house of peers. Preparations for
grand Inauguration pageant are even
now under way, and the climax of in
terest will be reached on the fourth of
March, when Presijent-elect Garfield
will occupy the White House and forth
with convene an extra session of the
Senate to confirm his Cabinet.
There is wide spread feeling in po-
litical and business circles that we have
entorod upon an era of prosperity,
safety, and senses. 1t is expected that
the Capital will be still further improv-
ed and beautified during the admins.
tration of President Garfield. WASH
ington's hundredth anniversary comes
off ten years hence. and no doubt will
be duly honored by celebration
worthy of the National Capital. The
population of the city at that date will
probably not fall thort of $50, 900. No
city IN the Union is 50 we'll adapted to
grand parades and fetes by the width
aud beauty of the streets, while no city
has, Or will have, such attractions ten
years hence as Washington. BY that
time, or b. fore, the State department
will have been flushed; good Library
building will have been erected, prob
ably In the Judiciary Square; a nav
Presidents Mansion will crown one of
the beautiful hills north of the city /;
other public editices may bo built; all
of WHICH will oonduce to make WASH
ington the most attractive place in the
New World to men and women of
wealth and fashion, to the politician
and pleasure seeker, to the scientist and
the man of letters,

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
THE BEwILDERME.Srs OF BIGAMY-NrrRo-
GLYCEkINE IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD

NEW YORK.. Nov. 10. 1880.

NEW YORK; Nov. 10, 1880.
There il lull in suicides and mur-
der, it Is not SO active, commercially
speaking; but detected bigamy is quite
lively. So are the deceived damsels.
Three cases in one week in Brooklyn is
quite an item for the City of Churches,
and in all of them there were unusual
circumstances. In one, O young hus-
band calmly deserted his wife and in
three weeks wooed, won and married
another publicly, with quite a good
deal of parade in another ward. His
perfidy was discovered by his second
wife finding letter from his little son,
stating that his ma would like to see
pop. In another case a man married
two girls who were intimate friends,
both publicly In church, and they Wis.,
ited each other, knowing that by mar
riage they had become namesakes as
well as friends, and yet neither dream
ing for one moment that the husband
of each was the reputed husband of
both. This little game was carried on
undiscovered Tor one year and a half,
and must say the man was a wonder
full smart fellow so far, though it was
silly in him to do like the other fellow,
In leaving his letters about where his
inQuisitive little helpmeets, in their
truly feminine pursuit of going through
hubby's pockets, could find the COM
promising evidence of his tricks. In a
third case the first marriage tonk place
three weeks before election, bride No.
acting as bridesmaid for No. 1. Groom
got tired of No. ], who lived with Ler
parents while he lived with his, aud
visiting her one evening, asked to see
the marriage certificate, tore it up and
burned il aud remarked that that settled
that marriage, told her he was going
to marry her bridesmaid aud would
kill her if she interfered. He did marry
the bridesmaid as he had said, who
was foolish enough to believe in the
efficiency of his rough and ready di-
vorce proceedings, and then called
with No. 2 on No. for congratulations.
It's queer world sometimes. The last
situation would really seem too wildly
prabable TO. the MOST farcical extra
vaganza ever put on the stage, but IL Is
sal aud sober fact. Groom and
bride 2 are both professional pedestrians

IRELAND is in q state Of ferment that
bstokens anything but peaceful times for
the people and Government of Great Bri-
tain. Evidences of q Fenian insurrection
are coming to light, and fears are enter
tained that the peassntry are arming quietly
for an uprising when their leaders give
the word. Evictions still go on, and in
stances of great cruelty and suffering are
not uncommon Caretakers are shot down
on the highway and at their firesides, and
a general feeling of distrust and uncer.
tainty prevails. The London Times be-
lieves that the arrest of a few active organ
izers of this terrorism would be salutary
and bring prompt relief.

fraternity, with the same unanimity and
ffankness with which they accused him,
come down handsomely and acknowledge
that the Chinese letter was a forgery, and
that they did Garfield great injustice, and

outrage and a crime! Justice and COM

TIE speculations OF newspaper CORES
of the Cabinet of the President elect are,
many Of them, 90 improbable, and even
presumptuous, that it is almost wonder
that they are allowed to get into print 1t
would be strange II, among the multitude
Of guesses made-which include the name
of almost every prominent Republican at
all qualified for such positions-some of
them should not prove to be correct If
we may express an opinion with regard to
the fitness Of things, it would be that Gen.
Garfield ought to follow the example set
by Mr.. Lincoln and call around him the
best and ablest men in the Republican
party as his advisers. Mr.. Lincoln put
into his Cabinet every candidate who was
prominently before the Convention that
nominated him for President, and we think
Mr.. Garfield could hardly do better than
follow the same course. The people ex-
pect Q wise, conservative, but vigorous ad-
ministration; one that shall tolerate no
violation of national law, and wink at no
abuses, whether by friend or foe. They
are not in mood TO tolerate any more
sentimental softness toward the enemies of
the good order and peace Of society. By
all means let ~ be spared the repetition of
the mistake made by Gen. Grant in the
formation of his Cabinet, who took up per-
sonal favorites, without experience in civil
life, with no knowledge of statesmanship,
to the utter ignoring of the wisdom and
experience Of our ablest men. We sim
cerely hope Mr.. Sherman will be kept at
the head Of the Treasury, and we should be
pleased to see Blain, Conkling and Wash
bum at the head Of other departments,
The Administration and the Republican
party must show themselves worthy the
respect and confidence Of the people, or it
Vim noe take much argument to convince
them that change would be desirable.

Given up by the Doctors.

Where doctors have failed to cure,
and have given their patients up to die.
Electric Bitters have often been used
and cure effected, greatly to the
astonishment of all. Diseases of the
Stomach, Liver, Kidneys and Urinary
Organs are positively cured by Electric
Bitters. They invariably cure Con-
stipation, Headache and all Bilious
Attacks. Try them, and be convinced
that they are the best medicine used.

The above paragraph is more interesting

contains. The counties mentioned have
been made so solid for the Democracy

of things to exult over, it is disgrace to
the civilization of the age. We have no
objection to Democrats or Republicans

No less than sixty-ive railroads, represent
ing nominal investment of $242, 100000, were
sold under foreclosure during 1879 Of this
amount one-third represents capital stock which
has been totally lost. 1t is a curious fact that
during four years one-ffth of the railway mile
age and capital of the United States has changed
hands by forced sale During this year several
railroads will be or have been sold. Among
these is the Atlantic and Great Western, repre-
senting not less than $1O5, 100000. 1t is salts
factory to know, however, that but few fore
closure suits have been commenced, while the
small number of roads for which receivers were
appointed last year, is proof that the era of
bankruptcy is passed.
