AN ANNIVERSARY DAY.

To-day twenty-nice years Hgo the memorable battle of Mission Ridge wa fonglit which resulted in a glorious Union victory. On the 25th of Novetu ber. 1S63, Grant with the forces of Sherman, Thomas Bnd Hooker sen Bragg Bnd his army flying over the mountains of Tennessee and Georgia, thus holding Chattanooga then known as the "gateway to the South," a very important strategic point and which afterwards formed the base of supplies for future operations. Compared with the numbers engaged the Union lost was smnll vet nearly '2,000 brave boys gave up their lives that this glorious Republic might not be blotted from the map of the world. Although twen-ty-nini years have passed yet the hate that was engendered against the Union soldier then still lurks in the hearts ol manv people still. The violent and vicious attacks that have recently found utterance against the men who fought at Mission Ridge simply for the reason thfit they risked their lives in behalf of an imperiled country and are now receiving a paltry pound in the way of a pension. Could there be anything more ungracious and ungenerous on the part of men who are the prosperous beneliciaries of a sav«d, rich and pros

AVM. H. CALKINS, deputy collector of internal revenue and a gentleman well known in this city, was assaulted on the streets of Lafayette on the Satnrday night before the election during Democratic rally by some Democratic hood lums. He wns knocked down and in the scrimmage his right eye was so bad ly damaged that the Bight was lost. The case was' brought,to the attention of the grand jury and the result was ac indictment against PeterJ.Clark,a prom inent Democrat and Street Commission er. for malicious mavliem.

THK Democratic newspapers following in the wake of the New York Herald. say the pensions of ex soldiers "ought to be reilnced." We respectfully sub mit the proposition to ex-soldiers who are receiving a pension and who voted the Democratic ticket this year, for their consideration.

WHY WE HAVE BAD ROADS.

The I mltfTerptice of I he Public More to iUame Than Kxisting I,aw«, There is undeniably a want felt in the community for better public highways. The subject is now generally agitated. It has been brought by the chief executive officers of a dozen different states to the attention of their several legislatures. It lias received intelligent and careful consideration at the hands of commissioners, of experts appointed especially for the purpose, of committees of several of our legislatures and of the legislators themselves. It must be confessed—in spite of all that has been said, of all the study that has been given to the subject and of all the effort to reach practical conclusions that nothing generally satisfactory has as yet tjei-n attained. The main difficulty in the case is perhaps to be found, not in the inherent defects of present laws or in the inability of legislators to make better ones, but in the indifference of the general public upon the subject.

Every member of society is interested in the public road. At birth, at death und at all intermediate points during lift it is used, to a greater or less degree, by or for every individual member of society. It carries the doctor to the bedside of the sick, the minister to administer consolation to the dying, friends to the house of mourning and the dead to their graves. It brings purchaser and consumer together. It is the avenue alike of pleasure and traffic. The farmer seeking his market, the commercial traveler looking for customers, the millionaire in search of enjoyment with bis coach and four, the whetdman in pursuit of health, the few seeking pleasure or profit on wheels and the many in like purttims on fi.ot—all are interested in the public road.

And yet, direct and immediate as these interests are, we are content to follow the methods of half a century or more .igo, to .submit to inconvenience, to discvi..fort and to the immense waste of ni'iiiiy and patience, not liecanse we do not. admit the advantages of a good road "ver a bad one, not because we cannot see, in theory at least, that a solid, smooth, level road which allows the farmer to convey to market twice as much with half the power is advantageous to him not because it cannot be clearly demonstrated that in the end (because of the saving in annual repairs and the saving of waste in vehicles, horseflesh, harness and the like) a good' road is cheaper than a poor one—for all these things are distinctly and fully admitted by those who have given careful stud) to the subject—but because prejudice, opposition to change and indiflerence control the masses of our people and dictate the course of legislation.

In the discussion of the road question one of tho most popular and oft quoted remarks is that relating to the evidence of the civilization of a country which its roads exhibit. It is not a question of civilization, however, and we have not yet reached the point when we can fairl view it from the aesthetic side. It is a question of the simplest, commonest, ino*t prnrtical business sense, ft reaches

the everyday life of every man, wom/iv. and child in every community. Those of us who advocate a reform in the mode of laying out, constructing and repairing our public rouil* must .show, and aro responsible for showing, to our people that their direct and iinnittliate pecuniary interests are involved, and will be subserved by a radical change in every department of road management.

It is nor impossible for us to Imi* for some improvement, even under our present unsatisfactory laws, in certain favored localities. An oxauiple or two which will appeal to our readers will best convey theimpiv.-Mon desired to be made. Mr. A. ,1. C'assatt. whose country deuce is in Montgomery county, adjoining Philadelphia, was a few years ago elected—probably partly as a joke and partly in the hope of securing the benefit of his knowledge and e.\]erienee—a road sujiervisor for the township in which he lived. To the surprise of many lie accepted the ]osition. levied the" largest amount of tax allowed tinder the law, summoned his neighbors and secured voluntary contributions from tie we who were interested like himself in ,,.k1 roads for driving purpose-, i: 1 result during his official term M-oujvii for that township the Ih^t common roads in Pennsylvania.

Another gentleman cue of the suburbs of Philadelphia, anxious to benefit his kind and to secure for his neighbors the greatest comfort and convenience in everyday life, located, laid out and built at his own expeuse some two miles of model public road which he presented to the municipality in which he lived.

As to the practical results arising from the improvements just referred to, there have leen undoubted enhancement of the value of real estate, an influx ot desirable popn' ion and the largest possible increase to the comfort and convenience of all the people of those regions who make use of thee roads. If a good road, thoroughly constructed, will endure for a thousand years wit'a ordiuary repairs, vhat better monument- can a man who wishes to benefit hi.- kind raise to his memorv, how can he contribute to the welfare of his fellows more fully and for a longer period, and how better perjetuate his memory than by following the example )f the gtntleman last mentioned, and by giving his own name to the road thus constructed'.'

I know of no law which prevents the nterprising citizen from building or repairing the roads in front of his own property, and there would be undoubted acquiescence on the part of the public in work of this kind, is it. not jKssible therefore for a single enterprising citi7.i'ii in any given community to show by a practical illustration, at his own e.\Jjeiise. the difference between a good road, properly constructed, and thusu wl.:ch are ordinarily traveled in our i-ountry communities, and will not such an illustration te productive of better practical results than any amount of argument or effort to secure better laws?

One of the inmates was murdered and all the others were burned to death. The culprits afterward surrendered in a body to the police.
