County Papers.

corning county papers, and the du

every man and woman, for wdth the pa- !

per gives the town and county where
printed much of their importance in the
world; and gives in detail the local!
news , which cannot be gained bv any !
other source. Every day’s issue‘of the |
paper is so much local history and the I

in favor of seating Pinchback. He
saiu when he entered upon the dis
charge of his duties with the Senate,
the question had already been elaboiu'e
ly discussed and i was not necessary for
him to make any extended remarks.—
Ho believed that whatever seeming ir
regularities might be attached to the
manner in which the will of the
people in Louisiana was ascertained,
Pinchback had a majority of the legal
votes, and was entitled to hi, seat in
the Senate. If ihe Senate should re
luso to admit Pinchback, it would be
an admission that the Legislature which
looted him, and whi h had been ma
king laws for the people, was a mob.—
Louisiana was entitled to a full repre*
soutation on this floor, and the Senate
could not ignore its obligations to give
to that Stu e a lull representation.—
Whatever wrongs had been done in
Louisiana, the present order of things
in that State had been accepted by the
nation and by the people of tha" State.
He thought Pinchback should be ad-'
milted in the interest of good will and
good government lie then spoke of
the personal qualities of Pinchback,
aud said he knew him to be an affec
tionate husband, and, as a citizen, loyal
and bravo.

Oi;3 Papers.
The Macon Telegraph has this :
Speaking of old papers, a friend has
left with us a copy of the Ulster Coun
'ty (l a.) Gazette, published by Samuel
Eimr & Son., and dated Saturday, Jan
uary, 4, 1800. This copy is in mourn
ing on account of the death of George
Washington on the 14th of December
previous, and contains a report of his
obsequiesrr dated George Town Dec’r 20,
under the startling head of “Washings
ton Entombed !”
In another part of the paper is a re.
port of some of the ancient ceremonials
attending the opening of Congress at
lh t time. Both the House and Senate
waited upon the President at h's house,
to “present him their addresses in an
swer *o his speech at the opening of the
session, and recerving his written reply
returned to their chambers and opened
and read it.” To judge from the report,
this formality was observed by each
house, independently, and each present
ed its own address aud received its apz.
propriate reply.
The foreign news of the Gazette is
nearly throe months old, and reports the
battle of Zurich, October 20th, the
evacuation of Holland, and the return
of Napoleou and Berthier t; Paris from
Egypt.
Among its adverticements is one pro
posing to sell half a saw mill, and “a
stout, healthy, active negro wench.” —
The honest Pennsylvanians, in those
days, did nut steal negroes by fraud or
force.

Address of the National Demo
cratic Committee.
Washington, Febuary 22,--The
National Democratic Committee, to
whom is delegated the power of fixing
the time and place of holding the Na
tional Democratic Convention of 1876
have appointed Tuesday, the 27th day
of June next, at noon as the time, and
selected St. Louis as the place of hold
iug such convention. Each State will
be entitled to a representation equal to
double the number of its Senator, and
Representative iu Congress of the Uni
ted States ; and the Territory of Colora
do, whose admission in July as a State
will give it a vote in the next electoral
college, is also invited to scud delegates
to the convention. Democratic, Con
servative and other citizens of the Uni
ted States, irrespective of past political
associations, desiring to co-operate with
the Democratic party iu its present ef
forts aud objects, are cordially invited
to join in sending delegates to the Na
tional Convention. Cos operation is de
sired from all persons who would change
an administration that has sufi'eied the
public credit to become and remain in a
f'erior to other and less favored nat ions;
has permitted commerce to be taken
away by foreign p wers ; has stifled
trade by unjust, unequal, and perui
cious legislation ; has imposed unusual
taxation and rendered it most burthen
some ; has changed growing prosperity
to widespread suffering and want ; has
squandered the public moneys reckless/
ly and drfiantly, and shamelessly used
the power that should have been swift
to punish crime to protect it. For these
and other reasons the National Demo
cratic party deem the public danger im
minent and are earnestly desinous of
securing to our country the blessing
of an economical, pure and free govern
ment and cordially invite the co
operation of the feiluW'citizeus in the
effort to attain this object.

The beauty of the resumption act is
elegantly illustrated by the special report
of the Secretary of the Treasury, in
obedience to a resolution of the House
relative to the prepara ion for resuript
ion. Bunds of the government have
been sol 4 bearing five per cent, interest
included, to the sum of §15,735 855.
The amount of silver bullion purchased
to December, 1875, cost, in gold, $9,-
300,446, all of which is to be coined
into small change to redeem our fraction
al currency. W hat sort of financiering
is this that th * great Republic n party
is doing for us. They have added to
our bonded debt §15,000,000, and they
have increased the interest which we
have to pay anually §750,000 in gold.—
Is the silver change worth that much
more per annum to the people of the
United States than the 'ractional cur
roncy ? Hit is. worth any more, it will
be hid away and hoarded, and never be
used as currency. Whenever the gov
ernment-stops depreciating the green
backs and makes them worth more than
silver by making the greenbacks receiv
able for ail dues, public as well as pri
vate, then the iast dollar of silver
money in this country will be forced
into circu.ation. It will come pouring
in upon us from other countries, where
it is being demonetized, to be recoiued
here and put in circulation. The
Treasurer will nut then have to sel. five
per cent, bonds for gold in order to buy
silver. He can get all lie wishes at par
for greenbacks. —Nashville American.

THE NEW FAMILY
r SINGER
Sewing Machine.
WITH ATTACHMENTS
Lor All Kinds of Work,
.
is f st winning favor in the household, as
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
Tais New Family Machine is capa
ble of a range and variety of work such as
was once thought impossible to perform by
machinery. We claim and can show that
it is the cheapest, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely a ij listed, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. It is remarkable, not
only for the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for tlie variety and different
kinds of texture whicn it will sew with
equrl facility and perfection,- using silk
twist, linen, ov cotton thread, fineor Coarse,
making the inter elastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength ami uniformity of stitch ,
and, in a moment* this willing and never
wearying inst ilment may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
the tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have he'n known to perform.
Ours having long been tjie popular and
practical machines for manufacturing pur
poses, some dealers, using ‘-tlie tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family *- achine embod
ies new and essential principles — simplicity
of construction ; ease of operation ; uni
formity cf precise action at any speed; ca
pacity for range and variety of work, fine
or coarse-leaving all rivals be ind it.
