LEE SUNDAY NERsPAPER.

The excellence of Sunday papers is rapidly
doing away with the prejudice existing
against that class of reading. The most OF
them furnish henlthful employment for the
mind and give opportunity to gather facts
that can be found in no other medium of in
formation. They are an encyclopedia OF
general knowledge, OF current topics, of do
mestie news. and instead Of publishing obiec-
tionable features, as some people believe,
they contain nothing but reading that ele-
Yates the mind.
Take the present number OF The TIMES.
In it will be found local information concern
ing public Improvements, Society events,
labor notes. woman's reading, and other in
telligenee that can hardly be dispensed with.
Like all daily papers, THE TIMES. on other
days of.the week, is principally devoted to
ehronlcling political information. telegraphic
news from all parts Of the world. and such
local happenings as transpire in a cosmopoli-
tan city like Washington. On Sunday its
chief work is to provide useful, entertaining
family reading in addition to the usual polit-
ical and telegraphic news.
IT surely must be better TO allow The TIMES
10 cheer upthe dreariness Of Sunday after
the hour Of church than TO spend the day in
visiting or in roaming about the streets. No
member OF family can fad a word in its
columns TO disturb the most sincere resolution.
and persons OF all classes Will see much to
arouse better thoughts and more serious re-
feetions.
This is the mission of THE TIMES. and with
fair minded readers it will prove an accept
able, valuable newspaper.

THEY HAD BETTER GO HOME.

When those ranting patriots, the CORY
locked Jones, of Virginia, and the fiery-eyed
Talbert of South Carolina. hoist the black
gress. the air takes or blood-red hue. They
were too young to shed much blood in the
army, but they are now old enough and
brave enough to annihilate space with furi-
ous words
There are in Congress a number of brave
Confederates gallant men, whose conduct in
that body is in marked contrast with the un-
vanquished Jones and the unconquerable
Talbert These Southern Senators and Rep
resentatives fought with conspicuous courage
in defense of the Stars and Bars. and won
fame aud reputation on many bloody field.
They were not only gallant in war. but they
are also brilliant as citizens, and in all their
public utterances. both in and out of Congress.
not one boastful word has been uttered of the
cause they SO bravey supported. With them
the Union is first and most worthy, and the
necessities Of the public more important than
the memory Of horrible war
During all this Congress the public has
been given yoluble illustrations of the word
war fought by Jones and Talbert and Demo-
Gratis in the North have reason TO wish both
were sorting junk in their loved sunny South.
Their assaults on the pension system have
possibly saved few hundred dollars, and
in connection with the policy Of the admins
tration has cost the defeat of the Democratic
party. Seriously, such demagogy is humili-
affnp and dieeradifahIe and hofh thaaa fiarv
Congressman should either go home. or emu
late the example of their conservative and
sensible colleagues.
