WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Well and
ff1rty and in the best of spirits, David.
Baird, of Camden, the Republican
leade of South Jersey, is spending a
couple of days in this city. The former
Sheriff and present member of the
State Board of Assessors was at the
Capitol yesterday afternoon and Wis.,
tied the New JERSEY senators and
congressman. Mr.. Baird did not have
much to say relative to the political
situation in New Jersey, except to OBJ
serve that the Republican party would
be in fine fettle mex fall, and every
thing could be done to promote har-
mony and elect not only a Governor,
but to return all of the Republican
congressman for another term.
The majority of the Republicans IN
Congress are already talking about the
approaching campaign, and many of the
members are anxious to get to their
homes in order that they may begin
active work. 1t is generally understood
that the leaders are anxious to see
Congress complete its work at, this
session at an early date, and it is be-
lieved that the adjournment will take
1879 oOAit I'LL III MO- dllu lid
not later than the middle of that month.
Arranging Headquarters.
. Representative Loudenslager, of
Camden, who will have much to do
with the campaign this fall, is already
making preparations for the opening
of the headquarters of the committee
at Chicago, from which city the fight
will be handled, The regulars are

duction in the present large majority
in. Congress, because it is admitted the
party in power is bound to be held
responsible for the high prices in food
stuffs, and the tariff bill, which was
enacted last year, will come in for its
share of the blame. Because of the fear
that the House may be won by the
Democrats there will be plenty of hard
work done throughout the country by
the Republicans, II no efforts will be
spared to retain control of that body.
1t will be of interest to rifiemen in
the New Jersey National Guard that
experiments have proved that the use
OF amber spectacles by the men in the
navy when shooting have resulted in
much better scores than when the
were shooting with the naked eye. AS
a result the use of these glasses has
been sanctioned by the navy depart
ment, and in future they will be used
generally by the officers and men in all
of the rifle practise.
The National Rifle Association is con-
Quoting an indoor rifle match for rifle
clubs throughout the United States. ana
yet the tournament has not had the
support it deserves. There are five in

tered a team in this competition, and
won the match.
1t is expected that the river and har-
Dor bill will be reported early in the
present month. Members of the COM
mittee are favorable to the plan to
make the river and harbor bill an an
nual bill, and since so many congress-
men are benefited by the bill, it is not
expected that there will be any oppo-
sition to this plan.
Postmaster mt Manasquan.
The term of ]. p. Van Schoick as
postmaster at Manasquan, Monmouth
~Ounty, is almost ended, and James r.
Rice would like to succeed him. How
ever, since the services of Mr.. Van
eschoick have been satisfactory to the
%postoffice department, it is probable
hat he will get another term. Mr..
Van SSehoick has been recommended
for reappointment by nan of the
prominent residents of M~anasquan, and
his conduct of the office has been thor
oughly satisfactory to the patrons of
the office.
Representative Howell has been adj
vised that the bills to increase the PEN
sion of Alexander A. Yard, of Farming
dale, for $50 a month; George H. Bryan,
of Toms River, at ST. a month, and
Charles p. Worthley, of Fair Haven, at
$50 a month, have been signed by the
President and are now laws. The House
has passed the bill to increase the PEN
sion of Combs Hendrickson, of Lake.
