S0briety In Washington.

The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican bears a testimony
which we are glad to quote as to the per.
sonal habits of our public men. The open
indulgence in drink by representatives of
the states and the people, exhibitions of
outright drunkenness in the capitol, in
past years, has been a cause of wide
spread shame and sorrow. We are happy
to be informed that better sentiment
has made itself felt in the hall of con
gress There has been very great and
very noticeable change here within a few
years in the use of alcoholic liquors. A
striking illustration of it was to be noticed
during the canvass for the speakership.
Not single glass of liquor was set out
by any of the candidates. did not see a
single member of congress under the in
huence of liquor during that canvass, nor
have since. The van keepers and the
hotel proprietors say that the decrease in
bar-tippling is so great as seriously to cur
tail receipts. The three leading candi-
dates for speaker used to use stimulants,
sometimes to excess. Two of them are
now total abstainers, and have been for
some years, while the third only uses wine
in a moderate quantity at his dinner.
can count dozen senators who used to
tipple who have not drunk drop in two
years, and there is not senator, with
perhaps an exception or two, who is not
prudent and most temperate in the use OF
liquor. Nearly all of them do not touch
anything except light wine at dinner
1t is 80 in the house. 1t is 30 with most
of the public men. There has grown uI
sentiment that man is fool who uses
liquor immoderately, and that he is better
off without any of it. Three years ago
saw one of the most brilliant members OF
the senate staggering drunk in front Of
Willard's hotel. The other day saw thai
he left his champagne untouched at din

in any form for three years. Invoke uI

Wearing Aurora's robe, night after night,
Some radiant spirit rules the western sky,
Drowning the sun-tns with such rich supply
OF colors weaved of aforementioned light
That It would seem the Master-painter's might
Had wrought anew his palette there on high,
To tell the tired world rainbows shall not die,
which first his pledge of promise did lndite,
Forged newly like steel-blue cmeter,
The crescent moon shines keener than Of old
And, as the drawn sword Of one armed for war,
Marshals those hosts Of crimson, green, and gold,
Till underneath the quiet evening star
The great review pales out into the cold.

UNITED STATES GRAND JURY.
ALEXANDRIA, La, |
Feb'y sth, 1884. {

To the Honorable, the Judge Of the
United States Court the Western
District Of Louisiana.
We, the United States Grand
Grand Jury of the Western Dis
trict of Louisiana, being duly u.s.
sembled at the Town Of Alexan-
dria, empannelled and sworn, and
having received and noted the
elaborate, comprehensive and lucid
charge of Your Honor, have conclu-
ded our labors, and beg leave to
make the following report:
We entered upon our duties with
a firm desire to discharge the same,
with due regard to our obligations,
and firm and honest purpose to-
wards our Government.
Ample opportunity has been af-
forded our citizens who had griev-
ances to be adjusted, to lay their
complaints before us for investiga-
ton, but none Of them have been
presented.
We have been unable to discover,
after diligent enquiry on our part,
that there has been any infraction
Of the statutes or laws of the United
States. This, we regard, as a graf
flying evidence Of the loyalty of
our citizens, and disposition on
their part to recognize and observe
the laws Of our government.
1t may be proper for US here to
advert to a practice in the past
which is construed to be a violation
Of the Internal Revenue law. We
mean, retailing or selling wines, IL
qnors and cigars for money without
a license, at collations Or convivial
gatherings. This practice has been
confined principally to our colored
population, who were, doubtless ig-
norant of its being a violation OF
the law. No particular case has
been brought to our notice and we
are therefore not able to present.
We note particularly that por-
ton of your Honors charge to the
Jury which referred to the absence
Of that moral sentiment of a COM
munity to support the officers of the
law in the discharge of their official
duties, and without which they are
powerless to suppress acrime, and
while we have found no indictable
cases in your Honorable Court
we are sorry that we cannot say
the same of our State Courts.
While our State judges make
the same charges and attempt to
enforce the law, we are sorry to say
that in the past there are too few
convictions, owing IN a great meas
ue to the want Of proper moral
sentiment to enforce the law.
To the U. S. District Attorney,
Milton G. Elstner, Esq, we are un-
der obligations for legal informa-
ton, to guide us in our delibera-
tons, which was always cheerfully
accorded ; and to the officers of the
Honorable Court generally, we re-
turn our thanks for courtesies ex-
tended.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted, and we ask to be dischar.

where they were met by train of seven
coaches from Philadelphia with newspaper
men from that city and eastern Pennsylvania
General Passenger Agent Wood, and his
general assistant, Mr.. George w. Boyd, were
in charge. The long train at once began its
run to Cresson.
at Altoona open observation cars were
substituted for the coaches. Here the route
passes into the region famous for its magnin-
cent scenery. All the wild beauty of the
AlleRhenies, the grandeur of the Horseshoe
curve, the peerless glory of Allegrippus, are
revealed in a succession of grand panoramic
views, and the full effect of the mountain
scenery was greatly enjoyed. The night
was spent at the Mountain house at
CreSson--gayety and enjoyment TAX
ing full possession. The hotel
is on the summit of the Alleghanies, 1900
feet above sea level, and has recently been
rebuilt and is in every way one Of the most
delightful mountain resorts in the country.
Its accessibility, the purity of its atmosphere,
the splendid scenery on every side, the
variety and medicinal value Of its wa
ters, will continue TO make it
popular and successful. Yesterday
morning at 10 the party again took the train,
and on reaching Bells gap the famous rail-
road of that name was taken, and for an hour,
drawn by the largest and heaviest engine in
use east of the Rocky mountains, the train
continued up the wonderful ascent, which
averaged 165 feet in the fifteen miles-the
peril and risk not being overlooked in
the enjoyment of the matchless scenery out
spread at such great distance below. The
main limo was again reached in the afternoon,
and the homeward journey rapidly and safely
made, the trip having been in every way en-

Tho Saratoga surrendsr.

There was surrender at Saratoga somo-
thing over hundred years ago that caused
great Joy throughout tho country. 1t is tho
verdict Of history that Burgoyne got of too
easily. The weak American commander
allowed him to take his army Of 5000 men
out Of the country on the condition that
mono Of them were to engage in tho war
again. The surrender was inevitable, and
Gates ought to have made it unconditional.
II must be said In behalf of Burgoyne that no
did not give up his sword until.he had been
hopelessly defeated. Two battles with the
two best fighters in the American army
Benedict Arnold and Daniel Morgan-had
reduced him to sorry plight, and he had no
reason to think that he would fare any better
il he should risk another encounter.
Tho New York democracy surrendered to
John Kelly yesterday without battle. Mr..
Kelly, unlike Con. Gates, demanded all that
he wanted and got all that he demanded.
This may be called the second Saratoga sur
render. 1t was not attended With any of the
heroic incidents that have given the cspitu-
laton of 1777 place in history. There was
nothing but bra2en assurance on tho one side
and abiect cowardico on tho other. Mr.. Kelly
simply said to the democratic managers: "If
you don't recognize the Tammany delegation
and givo us the number of seats in the con-
vention to which we are entitled, we will go
home" The response was Don't 60 homo.
John; we will give you as many seats in tho
convention as you desire, and as further proof
of our good will toward Tammsny we will
send you to Chicago as delegate-at-large."
Upon these terms Mr.. Kelly concluded TO
remain. Tammany hss been rehabilitated as
the controlling power in New York politics,
and all this has been done in the name OF
"reform."
The truly good" republicans who have
fed to the democratic party in order to get
into purer political atmosphere can now
sit down with their new associates and con-
template the beauties of administrative
reform" as practiced by John Kelly and the
Tammany sachems. The scholarly Mr..
Curtis, the eloquent Mr.. Chamberlain, and
the pious Mr.. Beecher, will discover in due
timo that the democratic party is very
tough subject for conversion.

Pig Iron Association.

READING, PA, June 1s.-The annu al meet
ing Of the Eastean Pig Iron association,
composed of owners of 100 furnaces east of
tho Alleghenies, representing s25,oOO,oOO of
capital, was held here to-day. Henry S.
Eckert, of this city, presided. New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, the Schuylkill
Lehigh, and Lebanon Valleys were largely
represented. The reports presented indicate
that the present slight dullness in the trade
will be succeeded by brighter business, aud
heavier orders as the season advances.
The members of the association and many
invited guests to-day visited the famous ore
hills at Cornwall aud the Pennsylvania Steel
cOmpany's works at Steelton. Tomorrow
the entire party will inspect the furnaces at
Alburtia, Catasaugua, Reading, Bethlehem,
Allentown, Hokendauga, and Phillipsburg.
