* i 1 * I ' ? THE SHEPHERDSTOWN REGISTER A5D JEFFERSON COUNTY ADVERTISER. 3l)fl>l)tri)0tonm ttegister. HATUKDAY nmMMFEB, % 1878. The Chlacw la CftlUVrmla. There in trouble in California iu re- j gard to the Chiuese. The local aathor- , ities of San Francisco and the military ' power of the United States have been called into requisition to prevent a threatened outbreak and the shedding of blood. This certainly is a deplora ble state of affairs, and speedy steps should be taken to remedy the evils com plained of. It is an admitted fact, we believe, that the Chinese have been the principal factors in the great depression in labor which now afflicts that State, aud whioh is more severely felt there than in any other part of the Union. 'I hese representatives of the Mongolian race are not a desirable addition to any country, we should thiuk, but more es pecially are they objectionable to Amer icans and to the various other peoples domiciled among us. They bring with them to this country habits and above all vices which are justly repugnant to a civilized and a Christian people. They have no sympathy with any other race ; they are clannish to a remarkable de gree; they recognize no law save that which they set up among themselves, and police surveillance must be perpet ually kept over them to compel them to perform the commonest duties of citi zenship, and to prevent them from ma king public exhibition of vices which cannot be named in a public print. Of course, bad as all this appears to be, and probably is, in fact, it is" no reason why these people should be set upon by mobs and ruthlessly and mercilessly maltreated and murdered. They came here, so far as they knew, in good faith aud according to treaty stipulations, and they should be protected until they are able to return to their native country, which they ought to be compelled to do, and which will possibly be the end of the present agitation. The main cause of the tremendous influx of this unwelcome class to our shores lies in the fact that the steamship lmes be tween the United States aud China find a profit ic carrying them. This they should not be permitted to da They receive a large subsidy from the gov ernment, and it should be stipulated in ' all future appropriations that no more Chinese should he brought to this coun try. There is no doubt of the fact that they depreciate the wages paid to labor, and any class, but more especially a heathen race, that does that should not be encouraged to make this country their home. Pauper wages means a pauper population, and a pauper population no one desires to see who really has the interests of his race and his country at I heart. It is to be hoped that Congiess will soon adopt measures that will re move all apprehensions of trouble on the Pacific coast on this score, but in order to be efFective it must not be for gotten that they must be decisive. I Forcing a Balance. ? The Sen ate committee to investigate the treas ury accounts, of which S?uator Davis, of West Virginia, is chairman, is prose cuting its work with great system and deliberation. The committee has a room in the Treasury Deparment, and has secured ibe services ot several experienced ac countants. The work betore it is one of extreme labor, and it is not unlikely that the committee will not be able to complete it by the end of the present session. Enough has been discovered already, however, to show that the charges made on the floor of the Senate as to gross irregularities in the treasury bookkeeping has been more than sus tained. In one of his speeches Mr. Da vis made the statement that in 1870 there had been a forced balauce of over *200,000, 000. This statement has been most abundantly verified, and it is fur ther discovered that this immense false entry wae made by written instructions of Mr. Boutwell, who wasattho time Secretary of the Treasury, aud who af ter wards, when Senator, denied from his seat with great vehemence the ex istence of any irregularities in the treas ury accounts. It is understood that this letter of Mr. Boutwell is in possession of a high officer in the treasury, and the committee will of course call for it be fore their investigation is concluded. Complimentary. ? We clip the following complimentary Dotice from the Washington Gazette of the 80th ult.: Congressman Benjamin F. Martin, ot Pruutytown, Taylor county, W. Va., has been at the Metropolitan Hotel dur ing the most of Uul week, lie is a new member, but has already made himseli lelt in Washington, and is on oue of the leading Committees of the House, the Committee ou war claims. He is a straightforward man, with strong politi cal convictions, excellent habits, good forensic abilities, and a thorough worker, who, from conscientious considerations, deems it his duty to be worthy of his hire. The Second Distriot of West Virginia is well represented or we have made a great mistake in the character of its representative. His lady remains with hioi during the session ot Con grees, and is as fair a specimen of true womauhood as is often seen. Religious Notice. ? I will preach and administer the 4th Quarterly Com mnoion at Liberty Grove, Snnday, Feb. 8, 1878, at 2j P. M. J. L. Shipley Pastor. IQT Briefs. ? To-day, Saturday, the 2nd, is Ground Hog day, Communion services in the Presby terian Church Sunday morning. Rev. Mr. Willis, of Straasbarg, Va., preached in the Lutheran Church of this town, on Sunday morning and evening last. We will uow soon have our "daddies' dollars." The silver bill has passed the House. John H. Schoppert respectfully in forms the citiaens of the town and com munity that he has a choice lot of .beet for sale at the Market House. Dr. Mary Walker says Congressmen are practical polygamists and ought to let Mormons alone. Oh! my, Mary, you ought not to have said that. Mr. Win. E. Heskitt, formerly of this place, but now chief clerk of the B. & O. K. R., at Piedmont, was here ou a business trip the first of the week. Scow fell on Thursday last to the depth of about 7 inches. Dr. Marshall and E. Clegg Williams, of Martinsburg, visited our town ou W ednesday. WTe had a pleasant chat with Mr. Geo. W. Eiohelberger of this county, in our aanclum , on Wednesday. Partridges are not to be caught, kill ed or injured, or pursued with intent to do so, between January 1st and the 15th of October, nor are they to be caught at any time with snares, nets or traps. Gov. Mathews has appointed Hon. H. S. White, of Marshall county, a j Commissioner from this State to the ; Paris Exposition. President Hayes will keep up one of i his home customs at the White House. ! Every Saturday night his family and a ? few friends meet aud sing some ol the i old Methodist tunes. Mr. Wm. Snyder, near Williamsport, Md., was kicked by a horse a few days ago in the abdomen, and died shortly afterward. Twenty million pounds sterling of a war indemnity will knock the stvjfin out of Turkey. The gold gamblers will shortly bo like Othello? without an occupation. Gold wap down to 1 01-4 on Satur day. Pass the Blaud bill, aud the pre mium will disappear entirely. Senator Thurman thinks that green backs would be placed side by sxle with gold if the silver dollar is restored The St. Louis merchants propose to resume specie payments at once. Let them blaze away. Tlve way to resume is to resume. Maryland wants the Virginia Moffett bell punch. A great many ot the citi i zens of this State prefer a hot punch. We return thanks for an invitation to a complimentary dinner, given by the : Berkeley county, W. \r3., Agricultural Society, to Col. J. Q. A. Nadenbousch, at the "Grand Central Hotel," in Mar tinsburg, on Thursday last. The farm of Mr. Thos. Licklider, containing 256 acres, near Kearneys ville, was sold publicly in Charlestown ou Thursday last, by Dan'l Getzendan ner, Assignee ? Geo. D. McGlincy, Auctioneer ? at per acre. Purchas er, Mr. B. S. Pendleton, of Shepherds town. We return thanks to the Committee ? Alice Smootz, Emma K. Keesecker, S. V. Stonebraker, A. F. Hess, E. L. I Folk and J. A. Engle? for an invita tion to attend an entertainment of the Literary Societies of Shepherd Col lege, held on the 1st of February, in this town. Moonlight may be cheaper than kero sene, but you can't take it into the par lor, and set it on the centre table aud turn it down. Now, the oldest inhabitant hops up and swears that we had a winter just like this forty-five years ago. Gen. Joseph E. Johnson is talked of as a candidate for Congress in the Rich mond District. Daylight is beginning to come sooner, but the lazy husband gets up no earlier than he did a month ago. If vou pass through the hen-roost with "careful eye, just now, yon will notice a sadness creeping over the coun tenance of the old hens. It is notsimp ly the knowledge that they must die, but the thoughts that they must be sold for spring chickens after they're "laid'' out. Horse-flesh is now becoming so com mon an article of food in Paris that a thousand beasts are consumed every month. They are not killed until they become useless for work through age or I lameness. The meat is but half the price of beef. J&* Alarm ov Fire. ? Aboot 3 : o'clock on. Tuesday afternoon last, our ! town was startled by the cry of fire, and on inquiry it was found not in town, but at the residenco of Mr. John O. Aglionby, about a half mile South of 1 town. The Fire Engine was quickly j brought out, and although the dieiance was pretty far to pull it they soon had , it at that place, and in a very short time ! had the pleasure of seeing the flames j extinguished. There was uo one in the ? house at the time of the breaking out of the fire. Mr. Aglionby was iu Wash ington, aud his housekeeper had left the house for a short time on business. It is supposed that the tire originated by coals falling through a crack in the bottom of the stove on the floor. One i | room was considerably damaged. Had it ! not been for Mr. Alex. Musgrove, his ' tenant, who discovered the fire and t gave the alarm, and the prompt re sponse of our citizens, the house no doubt would have been in ashes iu a very short time. 46T Those papers that turned up their noses at Senator Davis* "book keeping" resolutions are about to fiud that the investigation which he is push* ing is going to result in unsavory expo sures. Frauds more palpable and out rageous than the Senator ever claimed have been discovered and the rotten ness of the Treasury is even tnore than has charged. The Chesapeake and Oiiio Ca nal. ? A lull now before the Maryland Legislature, proposes to make the Ches apeake and Ohio Canal a oomrnon car rier, and put it in an entirely different position, when ever its managers shall I think proper to avail of the power grant ed, from which it has heretofore occu pied. The oaual has always stood in the position of the turnpike companies, supplying a water way for the use of all who may choose to avail of it, as high ways for carriers on paying the exacted tolls. All the traffic of the eaual lias been done heretofore by individuals or companies owning boats and charging rates of freight regulated among them selves. The oanal company now pro poses to secure to itself the power to enter into this business ou its own ac ! count. One plea for it is found in the I difficulties that have arisen from time to ; time among the boatmen as to freight rates, ?fca Power is conferred on the company by the bill to build, purchase and lease or rent any boats or togs which they may deem necessary at any time to have, aud to purchase, hire and keep horses or mutes, and to charge therefor, in ad dition to tolls on the canal* a certain percentage per mile, to be named; also to make charges for receiving, weighing and delivering goods and merchandise. These provisions would clear the right of the company to boats, which has been a subject of litigation heretofore. tar a V LSI TO U TO SllEPHEHDSTOWN. ? Some one, we know not whom, writ ing from Darksville, Berkeley County* to the Marliosburg Ind'pendenf, and signing himself "Amicus*" says as fol lows: ? I had the pleasure of visiting the an tique and pleasant village of Shepherds town, recently. On arriving I had the pleasure of shaking tbe industrious hand of ray genial friend and forme* villager. T. T. C., with whom I dined. He has been successful in procuring a number one wife, and has two interesting little girls to help to cheer his pathway through life. ? After partaking of a sumptuous dinner, we strolled through the principle streets, noticing the tidy manner in which they are kept. Some of the buildings will compare with the superb and symmetrical of Martinsburg. The Potomac was pretty full, caused by the abrupt manner in which ^he snow left. The late freshet carried olF one span of the bridge at that point, which renders ferrying a necessity. Time would not permit us to visit Maryland, but we gazed over the muddy river up on the beautiful wheat fields of that old State, until I thought of the Elysiau fields oflore. I remember of having lieard of Rurasey, the discoverer of the motive power of steam, and it increased my complacency to entertain the thought that I was in the place where the first humble effort was put forth. Shepherd&town lias a number of fine churches, and from the pleasantness of its situation, it deserves to bethecounty seat of Jefferson. ? Its elaborate Court House is being used for school purpo ses. lousiness seems to be flourishing, or rather in a flourishing condition, for every face I met seemed to be wearing a smile, indicative of the fact that times press lightly in that direction. Quiet seemed to reign about the office of the fiegister. We suppose the editor was busily engaged in arranging reading matter for the columns of his valuable paper. After casting an eye in gener al observation over the time honored old town, and silently wishing a pros perous new year, I started in the direc tion of Berkeley. Hope to pay anoth er visit soon, at which lime I will be thankful to some kind friend to make I me acquainted with some of the fair ones. | I am fond of seeing other faccs, I A nd then their names to learn , l Lovely ones dwell in such places Do not my compliment spurn. BSf" The Cumberland News says that the work of repairing the damage by the flood of last November to the Ches apeake and Ohio Canal is going briskly forward. The worst break ? that just east of the railroad bridge at Harper's Ferry ? is being repaired in a substanti al manner, and the banks will doubtless resist the action of floods for some time to come. Stiff* Personal. ? Our friend and pa tron, Mr. Wra. H. Conley, of Quincey, Illinois, a native of this town, is on a visit here, with his family, among re latives and friends. Frieud William left here about 12 years ago and settled at Quincey where he has resided ever since, and we are glad to know that he has been .quite prosperous, at least we judge so from'the fact that he has pro cured a wife aud three babie9 since be left here. Long may he wave! ?ST The County Court adjourned on Friday of last week. Among other business transacted during the term, Mr. Volentine Zeller was granted li cence to retail malt liquors at Harper's Ferry, and the application of the heirs of the late William Lucas to establish a lawful ferry at Keyes' Switch, on the Shenandoah, was approved and viewers appointed. The case of Mrs. Laura Chapline vs. W. R. Burch was decided in tavor of the plaintiff. KjT Senator Davis has succeeded in making some interesting discoveries in the the Treasury Department. One item is especially starling! The Jay Cookes, Henry Clews and othet legal thieves have drawn from the Treasury the enormous sum of over $95,000,000 as commissions for selling thegovernment bonds. In view of the disclosure Sena tor Davit is making, it is not to be won dered at that the Radical party bed millions of moaey at every election with which to buy a continuance in power. The tax on wbislcey should not be re duced. Luxuries should pay the tax. Keep bread and meat tree. Men can live without whiskey, if they don't want to pay the duty the Government impo ses. tap" The West Virginia Bishopric. ? It is announced that the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the diocese of West Virginia and the lay , representatives of the parishes of sai^i diocese will assemble in convention at Charlestown, Jrffjr.son county, on the 27th of February, at which time the election of a bishop will be the principal business to be transacted.

These were two sweet little girls, daughters of Mr. Daniel Link. They were victims of that painful disease dip theria, snatched suddenly from the home of their childhood, which gladdened by their presence now mourns. Oh how tenderly, how heavily their absence. They now sletp side by side in our beautiful cemetery. On each of three cemetery lots we see a pair ot little graves. They are yet fresh. From three once happy homes has diptheria snatched a pair of loved ones, and now three bright little bovs, and three sweet i w ' little girl*, lie two and two in the ceme tery of the dead. Yet they are not dead. They have gone before. They have entered into rest. May we all join them on the other shore ! ? ? ? ? OIIITl AKl. A weary path I've traveled, 'mid dark ness, storm and strife, Bearing many a burden, struggling for my life ; But now the morn is breaking, the toil will soon be o'er, I'm kneeling at the threshold, my hand is on the door. The friends who started with me have entered long ago, One by one they left me struggling with the foe. Their pilgrimage was shorter, their tri umphs sooner won, IIow lovingly they'll hail me when all my toil is done. It is sunshine in the valley, a calm un clouded noon, The golden gates are open that I shall en ter soon, And through the unclouded portals what * visions bright I see, Of victor's palm and coronet in heaven awaiting me. 'Tis but a narrow streamlet, and now I seem to hear A sound of heavenly music borne sweetly to my ear ; The strains come floating downward that fill the courts above, Where angel harps are tuning to sing re deeming love. I soon shall join the chorus that swells forever more, In harmony resounding along the heav enly shore; For now approaching nearer an angel convoy conies, To bear my ransomed spirit to its eternal home. Blest Jesus to Thy presence how joyfully I flee; Farewell to sin and sorrow, henceforth I rest in thee; No more a weary pilgrim upon life's thorny road, I'm waiting for the summons that calls me home to God. Weakness and doubts leaving, I presently shall soar To light and life and glory with Christ forevermore; There I shall wait your coming, beloved wife so true, Never forget my children, I'm waiting there lor you. Contentment's smile was on his face, His brow was calm in peace ; He now lus left us for thai land, W here 41 our trouble* ceu&c. The above lines were written after leaving the death-bed of my Grand-Pa liusler. After lie bade them farewell ' be sweetly tell asleep to wake no more ou earth. by bit graod-daugbter, J. M.

Fiercest storms may rage above her, Sunshine gathers, flowers bloom; Winter waue aud spring time hover, All above sweet Katie's tomb. Nothing now can ever harm her, In her little grave so low ; , For her waxen hands are folded, And her dewy eyes are closed. i 'Twas in vain they tried to keep ber, | Loving sisters did plead her stay, i But the angels softly whispered, j Darling Katie come away. . Now she's with her toring Saviour, In that land of perfect rest. She has left a world of sorrow, And is numbered with the blest. Then fond mother cease your weeping; Loving father dry your tears. Katie is not dead but sleeping, Till her Saviour's voice she hears. Sweetly sleep my precious daughter, Ilnly angels guard thy bed ; ; Gently rest in Jesus, darling, Till he calls thee from the dead.

FROM A WELL-KNOWN WRITER: From Mrs. Mary Francis, well known as "Margaret Blount." Bright bank. Woodstock, Vt., Oct. 6. 1S76. Seth W. Fowle & Sons: 1 Gentlemen? Two years ago I began to ! take the 1'ekuvus Syki p. 1 was then in a languid, half alive ttate, through iu | slpieut dyspepsia ami defective clrcula j tion of the blood. Three bottles ol th? 1'r.itrviAN Syucp changed this to glowing bounding health. 1 have a tf ne appetite, sleep soundly and can walk live miles easily without resting, or busy myself out of doors all day long without fatigue. A lady cousin, who resides with me, took the Syrup during her recovery from a serious illness of some weeks. She has been an invilid lor years. Five bottles of the Syrup have so built up her syt.teci ihat she now eats quite heartily, sleeps well and can walk three miles (in tlno weather) without fatigue. I eonsidertho medicine so invaluable to persons of se dentary pursuits, or to those whssuflcr from languor or low spirits, that I relato this personal experience of its effect toyou leaving you to make what u*e you please of my letter.

Last Spring my llttlo daughter, aged about five, became very much emaciated with loss of appetite, am! gieat prostration of strength, t-o much *<? that wo were obliged to take h *r out ol" i school. This continued through the sum mer, and caused us much anxiety. After , trying various remedies without deriving ' any benefit, our family phybichin recom mended the use ot P*Kt'v la* STRCr. Af : ter uslsg it one week we saw a marked improvement in the child's condition, and ! in a mouth she was rapidly gaining in health and strength, her appetite belu gex | cellent, At this uate <die is perfectly well, j with round, plump check and healthy col or, and is again attending M'hool.rcgular ? ly.
