Dr. Tairnage on Newspapers.

DR.. Talmage took newspapers as
the subject of his sermon on Sunday,
and his text, "And the wheels were
full of eyes," he applied to the news
paper printing presses, likening their
cylinders to the front wheels of the
Lords chariot. The newspaper press,
he said, has sharp eyes, keen eyes,
eyes that look up and down, far
sighted and near-sighted, that take
in the next street and the next hem
isphere; eyes of criticism, eyes Of in
vestigation, eyes that sparkle with
health, eyes glaring with indignation,
eyes tender and loving, eyes frown-
ing and suspicious, eyes of hope,
blue eyes, black eyes, green eyes,
sore eyes, historical eyes, literary
eyes, ecclesiastical eyes, eyes of all
sorts. He gave some interesting
statistics in relation to the newspa-
pers of this country, the average life
of which he gave five years, the most
of those started dying when babies
of cholera infantnm. He gave a
glowing picture of the power of the
press for good or evil, and said col
leges should have editorial profes.
sorates, to turn out good editors.
Then will the good newspapers be-
come vast blessing, not only for the
day in which we live, but for laying
the foundation for the histories of
these times for the benefit of future
ages. The student Of history five
hundred years from now--ifthe world
lasts so long-will walk right past
the musty corridors of other centur-
les and ask the librarian for the vol
ume which tells of the century in
which American Presidents were as
sassinated and American civil war
was enacted, and the cotton gin and
steam locomotives, and the electric
telegraph and the electric pen, and
the electric light and the telephone,
and Hoes printing press were inven-
ted. Newspapers are blessing not
only for to-day, but making up the
reservoir Of all history.

Maj. David Scouts Will.

We publish on the first page of this
paper the opinion Of Judge Henry
Brannon in the celebrated Will case
of Maj. Scott. This opinion was de-
livered at the late term of the Cir
cult Court, and several members of
our bar desiring copies thereof, Judge
Brannon consented to furnish it for
publication. About 81 years ago,
Judges Fry and Thompson had rem
dered decisions to the same effect and
it is to be hoped that the question is
now forever settled. 1t is strange
that the technicalities of the law de-
feat the intention of the testator, but
it shows the Importance of testators
having their Wills drawn BY persons
s.learned in the law and not to pick
up any near and unskilled neighboH
to write them, as many do. 1t is the
misfortune of people who make for
tunes to continue OH saving to the
end, when little money judiciously
spent would secure their property to
their devisees and save long and ex-
pensive litigation besides the stirring
np of any amount Of bad blood
among relatives.

A short time since the Executive
committee Of the insane asylum at
Westsn, removed some of the EN-
ployees who had been there for sew
eral years. The committee no doubt
had good and sufficient reason for its
action, but of course the republicans
must raise howl and try to make
some capital out of it. At first some
of them blamed DR.. Bland, but as it
was done without the Doctors knowl-
edge, they were forced to change their
tactics and now eensure Gov. Jack
son. Inasmuch as the Governor dis
claims having anything to do with it
these small fry republicans are some
what perplexed what do next. They
charge that the parties were removed
because they were republicans. On
the other hand we are informed that
the removals were made on account
of the insolence of the parties. Sim
ply because person is in possession
of an office is no reason his lease is
perpetual. Let these screamers re-
member their own rule of rotation
in office"

A gang of masked Red Men rode
into town yesterday "wednesday
morning about 2 o'clock, and going
to the Jail threatened and intimida-
ted the jailor into delivering up the
keys, with which they released their
companions sentenced at the recent
term of the Circuit Court to one
years Imprisonment. If linger-
ing doubt remained in the minds of
any one as to the Red Men being a
thoroughly organized band, and as
to the desperate character of the men
composing it, it has been dispelled
by this bold act. 1t was bad enough
that a set of men could be found in
our county who sought to regulate
society by violations of law, but
when these same men render null the
verdicts of our courts by defantly
releasing their members who had been
legally tried and convicted, it be-
comes very serious matter indeed,
one demanding the most active and
stringent measures. Our County
Commissioners should Immediately
offer a suitable reward for these es-
capped prisoners, and larger one for
the desperadoes who forcibly releas-
ed tLem.-Phiippi Republican.

The negroes of the country will
soon have another opportunity to
measure the value of Republican re-
gard for their political rights. Two
years ago when the Democrats had a
clear majority in the House of Con
gress and were sure to elect their
candidate for clerk, the Republicans
nominated ex-Congressman Rainey,
of North Carolina, colored, as their
candidate. Now the Republicans
have the majority in the House and
can elect their nominee, and Rainey
again seeks the nomination. We
shall soon see whether they only nom
mated him ''for buncomb' in 1879,
or whether they are in earnest in their
profession of regard for the political
rights Of their colored alies.-Auan-
ia Constitution.

Elections were. held yesterday
('Tnesday) in twelve States, inclu-
ding Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The result Of the elections in the
other ten states are supposed to be
understood, but in Virginia and
Pennsylvania everybody is waiting
with intense interest to learn the re-
suit. Pennsylvania although re-
publican State, has most probably
elected a Democratic State Treasur-
er. Virginia, it is to be hoped, has
everlastingly buried the readjusters
and saved the credit of the State.
We will be able to give the result in
full in our next.

A DEATH TRAP.
Arranged for "a Victim of
Graveyard Ansurancc--EfOv
the FMcds lBeca me H nOWn.

LANCASTER, Penn, Nov. "a
startling story in reference to an in
surance murder at the village of
Haynestown, Ephrata township, this
county, has just reached here. The
particulars are as follows:
In the southern part of Ephrata
township is the little village OF
Haynestown. For many years this
place has held the reputation of be-
ing notorious resort for many things
that are no credit to any community;
but of all the heinous transactions of
the past the one about to be told
eclipses them all, and even surpasses
all former rascality that is being
daily exposed by the press in CON
nection with the accused graveyard
insul ance companies of Pennsylvania.
That this fraudulent and despicable
business has taken thorough hold
on the people of the northeastern
part of the county, is deplorable
fact, and the case in view goes to
show to what extent some persons
will go to carry out their murderous
designs.
An agent who is doing a good bus
mess in death bed policies bought
policy Of $4,000 that had been issued
on an old and worthless character,
5S years old, who was well known in
the eastern end Of the county. In
his tramps he came to Bahnestown,
where the parties who were interes-
ted in his insurance met him and
made him drunk. Afterward he was
removed to a hay-loft near by, and q
trap was fixed for him to fall through.
After being left alone for some time
one of the gang called him to get up,
which he did, and stepping on the
board arranged for a trap, fell through
and was killed instantly.
This dastardly affair happened
about six weeks ago, when it leaked
out through a little boy named John
Gallagher, who saw the whole affair,
and was promised 80 to keep quiet
about it, but the parties holding the
policy became frightened and never
made application for the amount.
Hence they put the boy off from time
to time with the plea that they had
received nothing, which has resulted
in exposure. Although no names
are mentioned of either Of the parties
in this notorious affair, the officers
are in possession of the facts and
names of all concerned, which are
withheld for the present. This is
one of the most deliberate murders
that ever took place in this country.
Tomorrow, it is thought, will bring
startling facts.

An old time prophet has predicted
the 18th of the present month as the
time for the final winding up Of this
earthly existence. We don't exactly
believe it, but as we know not what
a day may bring forth, it is well
enough to always be prepared. This,
we state particularly for the benefit
of any who may be in arrears to the
printer, that they may not be taken
unawares and lay the blame at our
door. You know it would be an aw-
ful fate to go hence with an old sub
scription staring you in the face. "a
word to the wise is sufficient"

An investigation has been ordered
to look into the charges made against
the Ninth Massachusetts Regiment
on their late visit to Yorktown. Char
ges very seriously affecting the char
acter of the regiment for order and
discipline, while in Richmond en-
route for Yorktown, have been widely
published and several times reitera-
ted, so that the Massachusetts, au-
thorties now feel bound to take no
tice Of them. A staff officer has been
detailed to go to Richmond, where it
is said, many of the soldiers behaved
in an outrageous manner, INDUCING
in open excuses, refusing to pay for
things they had purchased and in
sulting ladies on the streets.

The people, says the american
Register, who are indulging in so
much idle chatter about the recent
demand for Confederate bonds, de-
mand assumed to be based upon the
discovery of a large amount of mon
ey in London, which is alleged to
have been deposited there by the late
Governments of the Confederate States
Of America, and which it is also as
sumed can be used in the payment Of
the bonds of the defunct Government
may as well be quiet. The recent
purchases of Confederate bonds will
furnish another and striking illustra
ton Of the old saying, that "a fool
and his money is soon parted" and
may point moral for the future. If
there are any funds in London or
elsewhere, that once bslohged to the
Confederate Government, those funds
are now the property of the United
States. When the Confederate Gov
eminent died the Government of the
United States became the sole lega-
tee of all the rights, property, and as
sets of the deceased, and we think
our respected Uncle Sam, with native
Yankee shrewdness, can safely be
trusted to look after his legacy.
If any holder of Confederate bonds
dreams that anybody will ever pay
them, his friends should conduct him
to an asylum for the insane. The
Southern States and people are I'M
able to pay, however much they
might desire to do so; but admitting
both the ability and disposition,
there is an insuparable obstacle in
the way. The second section of the
fourteenth amendment to the Con
stitution, declares explicitly chat
neither the United States, nor any
State, shall assume to pay any debt
or obligation incurred in aid of in
surrection or rebellion against the
/. United States, or any claim for the
loss or emancipation of any slave;
but all such debts, obligations, and
claims shall be held illegal and void"
As the States, as well as the Gov
eminent of the United States, are
prohibited from paying "any debt,
obligation, or claim incurred in aid
Of Instruction or rebellion" it is alb
surd to suppose that our Govern
ment viii permit a gang of specula-
tors to seize its funds, wherever
found, after the manner of Malone
and his co-repudiators. The bonds
of the Confederate Government will
be paid at the same time that the
notes issued by the old Continental
Congress in aid of another celebrated
''insurrection or rebellion" are paid;
but we fear the period of payment is
too remote to be of service to the
present holders of these valuable Sc
curities, or their immediate descend
ants. The Confederate Government
and the Continental Congress will
both resume" year or SO after the
final resurrection. but the place of
payment has not yet been definitely
agreed upon.

Senator II. G. Davis is pushing
the West Virginia Central railroad,
of which he is president. This road
will go right through the center of
the State, and be the means of open
ing up and bringing into market
some of the best coal and timber
lands to be found anywhere in the
United States.
The first section of this new road
has been completed and opened for
business, and last Thursday, party
of distinguished gentlemen, interes-
ted in it, went over the finished sec
ton on a tour of inspection. The
party consisted of twenty gentlemen,
including Senator Davis, of West
Virginia, the President of the road,
Senators Window, Bayard, Camden,
Beck and Gorham, Secretary Blaine,
Hon. S. A. Elkins, ex-President u.
S. Grant, Mr.. U. S. Grant, Jr., Chief
Engineer Sickles, Messrs. Shaw Bros.
and other gentlemen connected with
the coal interests of the Cumberland
region.
This road when completed, will
strike the Chesapeake and Ohio at
White Sulphur, in Greenbrier county.
1t is one of the grandest enterprises
for the development of the resources
of the State, that has yet been inau-
gurated Senator Davis has been
able to interest some of the best rail
road talent and largest capitalists Of
the country in the enterprise, which
has now become an assured success.
Senator Camden is also at the head
of new line of railroad from Par
kersburg to Charleston. He promis
es secure outside capital to build
the road provided the people along
the line would secure the right of
way. He announced the other day
that the money was ready, and would
be forthcoming as soon as the people
along the line fulfilled their part of
the contract, to secure the right of
way.
Verify, West Virginia is on the
high road to prosperity, and, will in
time be the New England of the
South.-Iadependent.
