The Democratic papers over in the
Ross District are fighting on the de-
fensive-and making poor defense
at that-in the interest Of J. W.
Denver for Congress. Unfortunately
for him, Denver is like most Demo-
Gratis who come up for Office, and has
record, which the Republican papers
have gotten hold of. The fact seems
to be that the Democrats are running
an old pair of shoulder-straps for Con-
gress, with the hope Of catching the
soldier-vote. It will be dismal fail

McPherSOn'S Sword.
J. II. M.

1t flashed before the battle-cloud,
Where thunders raging fierce and loud,
And banners waving free and proud,
Proclaimed the horrid strife
And heroes placed a starry shroud
About each fading life.
Where bolts of death by thousands flew,
And sweeping fires burst on the view,
And fainting hope still struggled through
The sad and gloomy day
1t glittered still, that symbol true,
Ofmeteorio ray.
Whether above contested field
Or by the towering oaks concealed,
Or brightly in the sun revealed.
That fadeless battle-sign
In magic spIendor flashed and wheeled
Before the sturdy line.
Oft, when heroic spirits fell
To hear the distant thunders swell
Those sullen sounds that seemed to tell
Ofsacrifice to be,
1t sprang before Deaths solemn knell
And told of victory.
A stream of fire by hill and vale
1t swiftly spread Wars dreadful tale
And treason's might could not avail
70 stay the vengeful stroke;
Where wildly few Deaths ieaden bail
Its cheering presence broke.
The sullen foeman stood in vain
Upon the trembling battle-plain;
No daring might the vantage gain
Before that naming bran9i
1t drank the blood of traitors, slain
Upon their native land.
1t glittered in the morning sun,
At early sound of trump or gun
And when the tragic day was done,
Rejoicing in its might,
1t sang.the song of victory won,
Unto the starry night.
Amid the ayyful cannonaqe
Death claimed the hand that held the blade
And, in his martial shroud array'd,
We saw our nero yield.
War ne'e- grander sight portrayal
Upon ensanguined field.
Upon that gloomy, sad July,
Earth wept beneath the dark'ning sky;
Above the stricken hero's sigh
The battle crash'd and roar'd;
Fame seized, and grandly bore on high,
Tfle brave McPH!IFRsoN's SWORD.
Far down tine ages still snail shins
That beacon of the martial line
Earths nohlest tributes shall entwine
About th6 saared steel;
"a mans best thought, and law divine.

Oh! "Who now rides the dappled
mare?" 1t seems that ''gross outrages
have been perpetrated by Chinese upon
American Missionaries in China" |"
The Missionary at Kwai Ping had his
house burned, and his family run out
The Methodist Mission Hospital at
Chung King was broken into and the
Missionary run out. This is terrible
to think of, and the United States
Government ought to declare war
against the almond-eyed heather, at
once And to think that after all this
great and glorious country has done
for the Chinese, we should be treated
this way in return! Didn't we legis-
late for them that not more than a
dozen or so could come over in one
vessel, to prevent their being crowdel? -?
And didn't we take them out, on the
Pacific Coast. when there seemed dan
ger Of their becoming too thick, and
shoot, them? Haven't we instructed
them in the marvellous light of our
advanced Christianity by mobbing and
beating and killing them? On the
top of all these blessings, haven't we
sent out pious Missionaries over there
to teach them how to be as pure, and
unselfsh, and holy, as we are? Why
should they be unreasonable? We
murdered them for the Lords sake,
and our Missionaries went over there
to tell them all about the good Lord.
Oh, the crooked-eyed heathen!

It is enough to arouse sympathetic

It is enough to arouse a sympathetic
and joyful emotion in the breast of
every old soldier, to read of the care
full attention given by the U. s. Gov
ernment to old soldiers in the Dayton
Home. The latest improvement made
at the Home is the establishment OF
an immense beer-doggery. This thing
serves several purposes. 1t enables
some bloat to control big monopoly
in the sale Of beer to the Home, and
it gives some of the old veterans a
chance to get drunk without going
down town. But there is no bad
feature about the whole thing. Oh,
no! Read, from correspondent Of a
Cincinnati paper, how kindly they care
for the old soldier after robbing him
of the pension the Government allows
him, by selling him the miserable slop:
"If, perchanee, they drink too much
they know they will be taken care OF,
and their pension money and valuables
returned to them in the morning.
Net that they are excused from the
penalties of drunkenness any more
than formerly Not at all. They
must work at the stone-pile just as
long and as hard as ever, but they are
in better condition for it than when
they come in from city spree filled
with vile whisky and raving like ma
MACS from the effects"
Great philanthropy! LIE the old fell
low cannot swill enough beer to take
all his money, they will give him
place to sleep, and return him the
balance Of his money in the morning.
Yet, if he gets drunk after spending
his money for beer, they set him to
work on the stone-pilel They assume
that he will get drunk and have to
work IN the stone-pile anyhow, and
that it is better :" make him drunk
on beer than to risk his getting u. E'hk
on whisky somewhere else! Now,
what is the argument in favor of hav-
ing amy drinking, or any drunkenness,
at the Home If man has money to
spend for poisonous slops in doggery,
he has no need Of support at the Home.
And man who is not willing to re-
main in state of sobriety, health and
cleanliness, certainly has no right to
ask the Government to keep him in
any other way. The attempt to JUS
tify this doggery is the most dismal
failure we have known for many years.

RAILR0ADMANIPULATI0N
A BIG SUIT AGAINST THE CHESA-
PEAKE AND OHIO.

"B" Bondholders of the Issue of 1878
Seek an Injunction to Stop an Alleged
MisappropriatiOn of Earnings Which
should Come to Them as Interest-The
Suit Similar to that in the Wabash
Case.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The first step In
what bids fair to be a long and 1ercely
contested suit against a railroad company
was taken to-day by Abraham Wormser,
of this city, and Isaac McConihe, a
prominent citizen of Troy, N. Y. Millions
OF dollars are at stake and the suit is GER
tain to be met with fierce opposition at
every point. In some parts the case is
identical with the recent actions which
have been decided adversely to the Wa
bash road. Louis B. Schram, as attorney,
and Judge Arnoux, as counsel, have to-
day served complaint in the Supreme
Court on behalf of Messrs. Wormser and
McConihe against the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company and the Central
Trust Company of New York. The action
is brought for the purpose Of restraining
the railway company from applying it's
revenues to the detriment OF the holders
OF bonds OF series "B' of the company.
BASIS OF THE ACTION.
The facts upon which the action is
based are substantially as follows: In
July. 1878. the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road Company issued ita trust deed to Sc
cure $l7. 100000 worth OF bonds and ST.
100000 worth was called series "a" and
S15, ,000,00 was series 3d." These two
series OF bonds were. by the terms Of the
trust deed, to be upon an equality as to
lien and payment Of interest and princi-
pal, except that for the first five years
the interest on the "B'' bonds was paya-
BILE partly in scrip. The complaint
charges that the railway company wrong
fully discriminates against the 'B"
bonds by paying their interest only partly
in cash while the ga" interest was being
paid in full.
SCALING THE INTEREST.
1t is further claimed that the officers Of
the road invited the 'B" bondholders to
scale their interest from to 4 per cent,
and that per cent. per annum was being
paid to cOnsenting bondholders, while
those who did not consent received only
fraction of their interest IN cash. The
plaintiffs further say that the railroad
company Is annually paying a large
amount in the shape of interest on the
Newport News extension bonds out of
earnings that should be applied to the in
terest on the "B'' bonds to the prejudice
of the ''B" bondhOlders. The claim is
put forward that If the affairs OF the road
were properly conducted and the income
| distributed as provided in the incum-
brances the "B' bondholders would re-
celVe their interest IN tull.
AN INJUNCTION ASKED.
The complaint seeks an injunction to
prevent the abuses complained of and a
preliminary restraining order will shortly
be applied for.
Besides this suit an action at law on
unpaid coupons mas been begun against
the company at Troy, N. Y, but the at
torneys in that case are not connected
with the new action on the part of the "B"
bOndholders. In the latter case the Gen.
trail Trust Company is the only party pro
forma, for the reason that they are the
trustees named in the mortgage on which
the bonds were Issued.

RANDALL's DILEMMA.
All Efforts to Agree on a Bill with
the Republicans Fail.

All Efforts to Agree on a Bill with
the Republicans Fail.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Mr. Morrison
thinks that his motion to go into commit
tee of the whole on the revenue bill will
be carried by a small majority on Sa:ur-
day. The Randalhtes and Republicans
claim that there Will be half dozen ma
iority against it. The Randallites and
the Republicans have practically deter
mined TO oppose the motion, but the Ran
dallItes seem to be growing fewer every
day and there are several Republicans
outside of the Minnesota delegation who
are not certainly counted on by the lead
ers. Representative John d. Long is
quoted this evening as saying that Mr..
Morrison's motion will be carried and
that the question will come up for consid-
GRAFTON.
LONGS ONLY EXCUSE.
He said that IL it were not that he
thought that there would not be time in
this short session to pass a measure he
would himself vote for consideration of
the matter, even though 1t came up In as
bad form as the Morrison bill. as he
thought the time had come to reduce the
revenues of the government. However,
as there was no time to effect proper leg
islation this session he would go with his
party against consideration. The Re-
publicans and the Randallites realize
that they are in disagreeable dilemma.
By opposing consideration they practi-
calIy declare in favor Of a postponement
OF the tariff question until next session.
UNABLE TO AGREE,
They foresaw that they would thus put
themselves In this position and endeav-
ored to agree upon some bill TO be pro-
posed as a substitute for the Morrison
bill, in the event that they allowed the
latter TO come up. They were unable to
formulate any bill which would command
their unanimous support. The Republi-
cans wanted to cut the sugar duties, il
not abolish them MIR. Randall had prom
jsed his Louisiana lieutenants TO defend
the sugar duties from all assaults.
He would not yield this point and
the Republicans would not agree to
MIR. RandalPs scheme to make the entire
reduction on internal taxes. The only
thing they were agreed upon was the
Hewitt administrative bill. Consequent
ly they determined to oppose any action
whatever on the revenue question. Now
If Mr.. Morrison's motionis carried they
will be still worse off than they are now.
or course they will try to kill his bill, but
SO far they have nothing Of their own to
propose in its place.

BISMARCK'S BILL BEATEN
A COALITION IN THE MILITARY
mission.

The Government Voted 100000 Men
for Three Years as Peace Effective
Instead of 46S,400 Mon for Seven
Years as Wanted-How the Coalition
Was Divided,
BERLIN, Dec. 16.-To-day's sitting of
the commission on the military bill was
an exciting one. Herr Won Heune of the
Centre proposed to fix the peace effective
at 0lS infantry oattalions for three years,
instead OF 534 battalIons for seven years,
as demanded by the government. Herr
Won Heune added that the Centre would
assent for one year conditionally to any
Increase the government wanted.
Herr Staufenberg (LiberaI) moved TO
limit the number of battalions TO SIS.
Also that for three years there be formed
fifteen additional battalions, and that the
drawing for recruits occur In January
Instead OF in March, pending the intro
ductlon OF system Of two years. ser.
vice.
BOTH MOTIONS UNACCEPTABLE.
Gen. Won Schellendorff, Minister of
War, declared both motions unaccept-
able. DE denounced two years service
as injurious to The army, and insisted
upon seven years service.
The commission, after refusing several
amendments, rejected by vote OF 10 to
IL the clause fixing April / as the date
upon which the proposed increase In the
army should be effected. After this vote
the sitting OF the commission was sus-
pended at the request OF several Liberals,
who desired TO formulate new proposals.
During the recess consultations were
held with groups of Progrsssists and
members OF the Centre.
On bling the debate was resumed
on Herr Won Heune's motion, and tho
commission finally voted In favor OF
100000 men for three years, Instead of
46o, 4O9 for seven years, as proposed by the
bill. The result was due to coalition.
The majority consisted OF i've Progress
lists, two Socialists, eight Centrists and
one Pole; and the minority OF four
National Liberals, six Conservatives and
two Free Conservatives.
