THE EXPOSITOR ;—4,,, WAYNESBORO’, QA SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14. 1872. REMEMBER YOUR PROMISES. A largo cumber of our subscribers promised to settle their arrears, and aicanee for the third year, in the fail ; and we regret to say the fall is passed —tho harvest is Glided—and yet. they remain outside the pale of our implicit confidence, llut we promise now (and what have vre promised to onr patrons that wc did not fulfil ?) not to remem ber their past sins against them if they will come forward and blot them out with the requisite “legal tender. A new year is at our threshold, and we must make preparation to meet its de mands. Will you help us to do so— riot by promises nor by contributions — but by payiny for what, you have been so willing to use, and about which many of you would have railed, and cursed, and chafed if it bad not come regularly to hand. We have requested now just as many times as we intend to —and it this Inst is not complied with wo shall adopt another course ; a sure onc ; per haps.but by no means pleasant. Again, then, wc say, come forward and pay us. Header-, do you owe for your paper, or for .any advertisement that has appeared iu it, or for job work, urgently needed by you and willingly executed by us ? Then, you owe it to honesty to pay for ij 1 Don’t wait for your neighbor, “who owes for his paper, too,” but go it alone , and have the consciousness of having done your duty—better late than never ! —— ; *- • -♦ Stanley Played Out.—The World of Saturday, says : “Last night, according to announce ment, Mr. Stanley was to have deliver ed his third lecture on the discovery of Livingstone, in Steiuway-ball, but failed to appear at fhe appointed hour. Some thirty persons including a few ladies, who had pcTchascd season tickets, assem bled at tbe entrance of the hall, but as there were no lights in the building, the conclusion arrived at was that there was some mistake. &er repeated knock ings at the door the janitor appeared and stated to the numerous inquiries made by those outside that Mr. Stanley would not appear any more in the hall, owing to the fact that the former re ceipts of the lectures delivered did not meet expenses.” , —; ♦ • r*- Another victim of Radical hate and tyranny has gone to his long home.— William Teal, an alleged Kuklux from Rutherford county, N. €., died at Nor folk one day last week just as the vessel had reached the wharf. He was a con firmed consumptive when sent to the Albany penitentiary, some months ago, whenco he had just been liberated by Grants order. He leaves a widow and three small children in very necessitous circumstances. By pardoning him, the “best government” just saved itself the expenses of his funeral. There is evidently a struggle going on between the President’s impulses and those of his counsellors. His judgment, and perhaps his inclinations, urge him to pursue a conciliatory policy toward the south, but bis advisers—and no oue was ever more unfortunate in selecting advisers—are using all their influence to overcome his convictiors and per suade him that the policy of strife and hatred is the best. Tlic President never had a fairer or more conspicuous oppor tunity for evincing his firmness and re solution ; and if he refuses to obey the narrow-minded partisans around him, and will lift his administration to a more elevated ground of patriotism and statesmanship than that on which it lias stood for the past four years, he will receive a degree of gratitude and be backed by a support which has hitherto been withheld. We cannot, however, expect any very beneficent change in bis policy until we bear of a beneficent change in his Cabiuet.— Louisville Cour ier-Journal. - Coal Production or the United States.— The total anthracite coal pro duction of the United States was, in 1820, 364 tons; 1830, 174,734 tons; 1840, 864,870 tons; 1850, 3,328,899 tons; 1860 8,513,123 tons; 1870, 15,- 849,899 tone; and up to September 21, 1872, the total production was 14,- 133,173 tons, against 10,120,784 to the date last year, thus showing that 1872 will give a far larger production than in any previous year THE FENCE QUESTION. Herndon, Ga., Dec. 12, 1872. The nominating convention, held on the first Tuesday, having prevented the meeting of the Agricultural Society nud the citizens invited to assemble on that, day, to consider the question of the Fence Law, tho meeting then called is respectfully invited to Waynesboro' on Tuesday next, 17th instant. J. B. Jones, Pros’t. C. A. S. | COMMUNICATED.] MR. JOHN D. MUNNERLYN. Mr. Editor: —Partiznnship is an tin reasoning and selfish passion. For the sake of petty, party triumphs, it docs not hesitate, first to use and then to sacrifice its ablest and most faithful servants. Few men have rendered a more earnest, active, and efficient sup port to the Democratic party in this County than Mr. Munnerlyn; and uo officer has discharged his duties with greater promptness and fidelity. No incumbent within try recollection has cither understood or so well performed his work, as this gentleman has. To- day the perfect order and arrangement of the books and papers of the Clerk’s office in Burke challenge the admira tion and excite the surprise of those! familiar with it heretofore. Yet, after j all his services, and his universally ac knowledged competency, his name was scarcely mentioned iu the nominating convention. He was, in very truth, assassinated —not “ slaughtered ’’ —iu the house of his “friends.” Verily, parties,! no less thau republics, are ungrateful.' Now, as the pending canvass is an open ■ one, a.td we have every promise of a fair and hottest election, I hope the people, who are more interested in the efficiency of the officer, than in the popu larity of the man , will act wisely and continue Mr. Munnerlyn in his present position. J. I Know that My Redeemer Livktii. —Ou Christmas night of 1871 the writer of this article sat beside Horace Greeley at Steinway Hall, New York city, where was being given Handel’s great oration of “The Messiah.” During the major part of the performance he sat appa rently lost in thought, if not in a doze, and seemingly oblivious to all that was going on. But when Miss Kellogg ap peared and sang the great soprano solo, “I know that my Redeemer liveth,” he raised up, his face was suffused with joy, his bright, eye was dimmed with a tear, and lie listeued with that steady aud intense earnestness so peculiar to him when interested. When it was finished no hands more loudly applauded than his, no face beamed forth such great satisfaction, and he murmured to him self those grandest of all the words of the world, “I know that*my Redeemer liveth.” Then again came the absent, preoccupied look, nor did it change until Miss Sterling sang the contralto recitative, “Then shall come to pass that, which is written: death shall be swallowed up in victory,” when the same joyous look of satisfaction lighted up the face no one couid look upou and not love. A few days ago he turned wearily ou his bed of pain, and the old light came back as ho muttered, “I know that my Redeemer liveth;’’ a few hours more, and “it is done.” Death was swallowed up iu victory—the vic tory of a life-time, fighting for the right over wrong; for truth over error ; for reason over prejudice ; lor peace and love ove- war and hate—the victory of a well-spent life, entitling a soul to life eternal after death. This is his viotory, and he needs no eulogy or monument. The heart-beat of tbe nation is the one, the imprint of our footsteps on the face of time the other—more lasting than marble, more endurable than brass.— Troy Evening Press , Dec. 2. From a staid and Puritanical New England college town comes the start ling intelligence that “matching cop ! pars” is the favorite amusement at par i ties and receptions. Not long since a ! professor's daughter won $3 50 at j “twenty-deck poker” in a single sitting. | This domesticating the “tiger” boees jno good. — _ The Hon. Caleb Cushing, while in Paris last May, devoted three hours daily to the study of French, under 1 guidance of an eminent teacher, with a I view “to acquire a greater facility of j expression.” Mr. Cushing has spoken ; French for more than forty years, and ! is seventy-two years old—but not too old to learn An example to be cor -1 dialiy commended. [From the Baltimore Sun.] BLOT OUT THE RECORD. The Wa hington Republican, referring to Mr. Sumner’s resolution to strike | from the public records and from the regimental colors names of nil tho bat -1 ties ot the late civil war, in accordance with the practice of all modern civil ! ized nations, says: ••This will not, wo think, strike the majority of people as either very wise nr very practical. It) our desire to con ciliate the living we should not be un | j u>t to the dead. To blot out the record written in their blood woulßbo tantamount to a confession that the cause in which they died was an unjust and unholy one.” Mr. Sumner made a somewhat sim ilar suggestion to tlie above soon after the war, and, fresh as the wounds of the struggle then were, it was more likely to receive consideration then than now, because ho had not agreed with the Republican party in any policy.— The recognition in any degree of the merits of a measure seems to depend too much, it is to be regietted, upon the political relations of tlie person who pre sents it. Tho infallibility of the domi nant political organization seems to be accepted as a cardinal principle of party faith, and he who questions it upon any point is by that act excommunicated, and Las no right to lift up his voice among the true believers. Mr. Sumner might cite the example of ancient heroic and modern civilized nations in regard to magnanimity to the conquered in civil wars to tbe crack of doom, but, coming fiom one who has given aid and comfort to the political outs, it is to be feared it would have no effect upon the patriotn ins. It would be injustice to tho dead, the Washing ton Republican tells us, to blot out tho record written in their blood, and a confession that their cause was unjust. The same, then, would be true of the ancient and modern nations who, when their adversaries were down, have for given them without regard to the ex penditure of blood ar.d treasure which victory had involved. But what was the cause for which the soldiers of the Uuion died ¥ Was it not the cause of the Union, and do we blot out their record when, by effacing the vestiges of discord, we make the Union of all sec tions real instead of nominal ? At the same time it may be possible that the resolution of Mr. Sumner is in advance of the prevailing sentiment in Congress. Tho public records and regimental colors which record the names of the battles of the late war attest victories over a foe whom, in a mere military sense, it was a signal honor, even though numerically inferior, to conquer; and, as such, there may be those who are unwilling to give them up, even though they imply thereby a high compliment to the vanquished. We do not believe, however, that this is the spirit of the American people, boweVbr it may be of a few professional politicians who claim |to represent them. The people are ntag ; nanimous, and, loving their country, would wish to be in unison with their I countrymen from its one end to the other. To cherish pride of victory over one another would not be in accord with the fraternal spirit in which our people desire to dwell; and therefore to blot out a pampering record, valued more probably by individuals as an aid to selfish ends than otherwise, is truly national and patriotic. ' A Sensible Jcumalk. — A gallant gen tleman lias just died in the neighborhood of Troy, N. Y. Many years ago he broke an engagement to marry, and now he lias left the jilted lady a snug ten thousand. In his will he thus tells the gentle story: “Many years since, before my acquaintance with the late Mrs. Dun lop, I was engaged to Miss Aiken, which engagement, for certain reasons, was; broken off by me. I have not seen her for over thirty years, but I know she is still alive, and now, for partial repara tion for the wrong committed, and should she still live at the time of my death and will receive it, I direct my executors to pay her in three annual instalments, within twelve months, tbe sum of ten thousand dollars; should she refuse to receive it, the amount to revert to my daughter Jessie.’ It is stated that the lady has accepted the offer and has received the money,— The natno of her friend was Archibald Dunlop. In the next lowa Legislature there will boa Lyon, a Bullock, two Foxes, and three Ducks. A New Idea. —ThcMcthodistsof Bay View, Cecil oounty, Md , have determin ed to build a now church, but being scrupulous ns to tho manner the money is to be raised for the purpose, the build ing committee has adopted flic follow ing : “Re.-olved, That in building this church wo make use of no means which have the least semblance of gambling or chance work of any kind whatever.” Troops to Arkansas—Does the Army Belong to Grant on the Peo ple?— Washington December 6.—Sena tor Rice offered a resolution this morn ing calling on the President for informa tion in regard to the number and dispo sition of troops order id to Arkansas, and the purpose for which they are to be used. This was pronounced an im pudent piece of intermeddling by Sena tor Edmunds, who declared that the army belonged to the President, and it was his constitutional duty to dispose of and use as he saw proper the troops composing it. Mr Thurman, in reply, rebuked this imperialistic idea, and said he had always been of the opinion that ttie President as well as the army were but the es of the people. There might be some necessity, he said, in time of wai for secrecy, which would make it impolitic to give the public all the information' it desired ; but in a time of profound peace there could be no objection to give the information asked for by the gentlemen front Arkansas. It was a matter that deeply concerned the people he represented, and it was due to them that it should be given. The Administration Senators, however, voted solid to refer the resolution to the Military committee, which of course smothers it. Carl Schurz, in a letter written to lion. A. G. Thurman, dec-1 nes the position on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, tendered him by Mr. Casserly. ile says the withdrawal of Mr. Casserly and his appointment in his place would deprive the Democratic party of its representation. Ile says that he has never passed from the Republican to the Democratic party, and his uttitude is the same to-day. The programme drafted by the Cincinnati Convention represents substantially his political faith. If the Administration should do anything to promote the euds as then laid down, ho will therein support it. In whatever it. may do in the oppo site direction, therein he will oppose it. — • -♦ Judge Nelson, who has just retired from the Supreme Court, has had a most remarkable judicial career. He has been on tho bench, State aud Federal, for nearly fifty years, and without the interregnum of a single day. His first appointment to office was on the 21st of pril 1822, as one of the Circuit Judges of his native State, New York. Of the eleven'Circuit Judges appointed with him not one survives, and nil his associ ates on the Supreme Bench of that State are also dead. He was appoint ed on the Supreme Bench of the Unit ed States in lN4f>, aud every member of that body whom he found in office then is gone. He has just entered on his eighty-first year. A Kentucky court has decided that the trade-mark of a cosmetic entitled “bloom of youth” shall not be protected from the infringement of imitators, on the ground that it is a “dangerous and poi sonous compound.” Whether this be good ‘law or no we arc unabic to say; but it scarcely seems like good sence to declare that because the original article is dangerous and poisonous any one who chooses shall be free to vend imitations, which may bo supposed to be at least equally dangerous and poisouous. If “bloom of youth” be irrepressibly dele terious, it is clearly the into est of the pu lie to limit its manufacture rather than to multiply it. It would be of greater interest to the public, however, to altogether suppress tho manufacture of poisonous compounds, and it is to be hoped that the. time may come when courts of law will have some further functions than merely to proclaim the toxic character of nostrums brought be fore them. ♦- •—.
