PensioniDg Ex-Uonfederates.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3S.-In the
House of Representatives yesterday
Mr. Wolford, of Kentucky. spoke in
support of the Mexican pension bill,
and an amendment he offered, pro-
yiding that Jeff. Davis, the ex-Pfesi-
dent of the Southern Confederacy, be
included among the pensioners. He
spoke at great length, and was fire.
quently applauded on the Democratic
side of the House. He said that the
time had come when the NOrtht m
people should forgive Jefferson Dayis
for the part he took in the war, and,
at least, not allow their prejudices to
make them forget the great and gall
liant services he performed for the
country in the war with Mexico. He
graphically described the battle of
Buena Vista, where Davis, at the
head of the Mississippi Rifles, made
the gallant charge which saved the
day for the United States troops.
Mr.. Wolford also gave notice that
he will, on Monday, introduce bill
10 pension every ex-Confederate SOL
dier who lost a leg or an arm in the
War of the Rebellion. He said the
greatest desire he had was to see the
wounds Of The late unpleasant tness
healed up, and that this was the way
to do it. The country would not OBJ
ject, he said. He was prepared to
submit list of the names of fifty ex-
Union soldiers of his own acquaint-
ance who draw pensions every month
and regularly give the entire amount
to destitute ex. COnfednra.es, These
men would not object to the measure,
he said, and something of the same
magnaminous spirit existed among
majority of the Union men of the
North. Old differences should he for
gotten. The ex-Rebels should he
treated as brothers ny the men of the
North. "You appropriate millions
OF dollars annually" continued Mr..
Wolford, "to the support of the saw
age Indians of the West, who are
not citizens, who burn your towns.

your women, but you have not

The President and the Senate.

When prior to his election Grover
Cleveland made the startling an.
nouncement that "a public Office is
public trust" nobody seemed to know
exactly what was meant by the
phrase. 1t was taken for granted,
however. that such an expression was
born of genius, and could have ema-
mated nowhere except in the mind of
a statesman of the most pronounced
Democratic type. The changes were
rung upon it from Maine to Florida.
Democratic politicians thought of it
by day and dreamed of it by night.
When two or more of them met they
repeated it to each other like boys
learning the alphabet, and with as
little conception as to what it really
meant. Public Office is a public
trust" Many wise men said, coming
as it did, from a Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency it meant moth
ing, and that it was simply the thin.
nest kind of political clap-trap. The
country has at last learned what Gro
yer Cleveland means by the term
"public Office is public trust" He
evidently regards himselfa as the auto
crat of the United States. Not being
satisfied with performing the duties
of the executive as defined by the
constitution and laws, he lays his
hands upon the Attorney General,
and says you are my servant. Like
wise he lays his hand upon the heads
of the departments, and unmindful
of the fact that they were created by
law for the purpose of administering
the government in the interest Of the
people, he says these are my depart
ments, and nobody else has anything
to do with them. He then prepares
a message to the Senate of the United
States, and after reminding that au-
gust body that "public Office is pub
lie trust" he informs these grave and
reverend Senators that he is the At
torney General-that he is the cabi-
net-that he is the head of each de-
partment, and that he wishes to be
the Senate. Public Office is public
trust" means with Grover Cleveland
that every officer and department of
the government is responsible to him
and is to be controlled by his will,
and, that he, Grover Cleveland, is re-
sponsible to nobody. Some day Gro
yer Cleveland and his party will find
that the Independent spirit of the
people will not submit to the arrogant
dictation of any man, nor will the In
telligence of the country be hood
wlnked by the clap-trap of dema-
gogues.

grams to Brddstreet'S this week show
the same irregularity in the general
trade conditions reported from week
to week for over month past. The
most encouraging accounts are from
Chicago, Kansas City, Des MOines,
Milwaukee and Memphis. At Chi
cago there has been an increase in the
number Of mail orders received, and
more buyers from the interior were
present there. AS at most points an
nouncing gain in the value of mer-
chandise distributed, the improve
ment is chiefly felt in dry goods. The
general Frightening of the weather
during the week is responsible for
much of the gains.

property not assessed, and the State
Tax Commissioner is required to
look after the taxation of corpora
tions. In addition to all these the
ClerksofCourts and Registers of Wills
are required to make returns of all
judgments, DEGREES and unsettled es-
tates, &C., &C., and there is no reason
why property in this tate should es-
cape taxation unless the officials
above referred to wilfully neglect
their duty. In fact, the law in these
respects is as good as we can reasona-
bly, expect to get, and better than
will likely be dictated by the ring at
Annapolis. In 1876 a large portion
of the real estate in Garrett county
was missed by the assessors and not
until two or three years ago was this
property put upon the tax books, and
it was done then by the employment
of a special assessor at a considerable
expense. Now, when the County
Commissioners have by the authority
vested in them, gotten this land on
the assessment books and have taxed
it, we decidedly object to the appoint
ment of assessors to annul this work.
With the enormous sums annually
paid to the Tax Commissioner, Clerks
of Courts, Registers of Wills, Coliec-
tors of taxes and County Commits
sioners for the purpose of correcting
our assessments, and when we take
into consideration the fact that after
each general assessment it takes our
County Commissioners about ten
years to correct the careless work
done by the assessors, it seems to US
that we can do very well for several
years yet without general assess
ment.

asked the Senate to advise and con

that there was in his argument moth
ing perfunctory. and indeed the man
must be of little account who, with
such a brief in his hands, failed of
sincerity and earnestness. Cough as
suredly did not. His soul was in his
work, and all who heard him felt
this. He had been a drinker, and he
wrestled with drink in the same
spirit that John Bunyan wrestled
with the sins which had so long
held him in thrall. The cause of
temperance owes much to John B.
Cough, and the world is beginning to
realize that its obligations to the
cause of Temperance are not insignifi-
cant. To his efforts perhaps as much
as to any cause this change of view is
due. AS yet beginning only has

paying the strictest attention, and the
utmost quiet prevailed. The Demo-
Gratis looked pleased and the Republic
cans surprised. AT the conclusion of
the reading some confusion prevailed
and Senators gathered in little knots
about the Chamber and discussed the
message.
Some surprise was manifested when
Rid1leberger voted with the Demo-
Gratis on Edmund's resolution to re-
fer the communication to the Judi
ciary Committee. The grounds taken
by the President that papers pertain
ing to removals are unofficial and
that the Senate has no right to them
is surprise to none. The open de-
fiance expressed in the message and
the buster and lingo of the Execu-
tive are subjects of much comment
and are the principal topics of con-
versation in political circles.
Friends of the Administration are
extolling the President for what they
are pleased to call display of back
bone. Republicans and conservative
Democrats severely criticise his ac-
ton as il-timed. They say he should
have waited until the Senate took
some decisive steps. He is regarded
as having challenged the Senate to
do its worst. The natural result of
the fight as it now stands, the Dem
ocrats say, will be that the President
will commence the work of removing

can, and that the civil service will be

Senator voted against the bill. His
excuse was that "too blamed many

Senator Browning introduced a
bill in the Senate last Thursday pro-
viding to re.submit the question,
whether or not intoxicating drnsks

With the present issue we COM

passed, we have honestly endeayor-
ed to publish clean, respectable
paper. and In our efforts we have
spared neither labor nor expense to
make The REPUBLICAN first-class
family journal, with all that the
term implies. We have studiously
avoided publishing any matter in our
columns, either as advertisements or
otherwise, to which any of our
patrons could reasonably object. In
a word, our great aim has been, to
make THE REPUBLICAN useful to
those who receive it. We feel en-
couraged to believe that we have sue
ceeded. lin a measure at least) in our
aspirations as indicated above, be-
cause we commence our tenth volume
with a larger bona tide county circu-
lation than has ever been attained by
any paper published in Garrett coun-
ty. The usefulness or our paper and
the esteem in which it is held by the
public are amply attested by its grow
ing and constantly increasing sub
scription list. Whilst we have thus
faithfully endeavored to discharge
our duty to our many patrons, we are
sorry to say that many of our SUBJ
scribers have not been as prompt in
their payments as they should have
been. There is ample room for i'm
provement here. and we sincerely
trust that when the tenth volume
ends, not one of our numerous SUBJ
scribers will owe dollar on subscrip-
ton account. In no way can the
patrons of newspaper so materially
aid the editor in publishing a good
paper as by prompt payment. Just
try it and see how much better the
tenth volume will be than those
which have preceded it.

a New Assessment.

There seems to be a disposition on
the part of some of the members of
the Legislature and others to agitate
the subject of a new assessment. 1t
has been taken for granted, appar-
emily, by great many of our people,
that law providing for general as
sessment will be passed at the present
session of the General Assembly. In
fact, quite number of petitions have
been forwarded by those who desire
to be appointed assessors. There
certainly is no necessity for new as
sessment just now, and no reason
why the people should be burdened
with this additional expense, unless
it be to make offices and places for a
large army of party blowers and
strikers. The assessment of 1876 cost
the people of Garrett county nearly
five thousand dollars in hard cash,
and, we persume. the cost was about
equaL/to this in other parts of the
State. Certainly such an outlay of
money should not be required unless
the public welfare absolutely de-
manded it. In our humble judg.
ment, and limited knowledge upon
this subject. there is no necessity for
a general assessment now, and as
several schemes characterized as ring
measures have failed disastrously in
the Legislature we trust this effort to
unnecessarily tax the people may fail
also. 1t may be readily inferred that
q new constitution will be provided
and adopted at no distant day, and it
does seem to us that it would be very
unwise in advance of that time to
have new assessment, but even if a
new constitution should not be adopt
ed 1t would then be a question
whether or not we should have a
new assessment. In the present de-
pressed condition of business there
may be great danger of an under val.
nation which would result injurious
ly. On the other hand, the valuation
of 1875 seems to be fair and equita-
BILE, and no danger to the business in
terests fthe State are likely to result
from leaving it alone. 1t may be
urged that it is necessary because
there is so much property not assess
ed. and consequently escaping taxa
ton. This is simply no reason at all,
because the County Commissioners
