It was a large surplus this last .Congress got rid of, and It wa9 a large people that got rid of the last Con-' great) the fourth of last November. Thebe i» lu Indiana an uncommon political condition. The State is decidedly Democratic, every Slate officer is a Democrat, and vet all the Supreme Judges are Republicans. Have you ever stopped to think jvhat Christmas is? When you do, you must wonder why it is observed as,it is,especially by some; why there should.be any who make a specialty pf debauching on that day. This is the end of the year, almost. Will Petersburg find itself a year h'euce in a better or worse condition ? IIow now with a year ago? Other towns are growing; is Petersburg?. Shall we have a Business Men’s Association ? Sentiments are easily spoken, but they are uot e^aiiy^acted out. The last election, liowe^r, shows there were many Republicans threw away theiiy predjudices let tbsir sentiments, er, rather, sciences, have their way. that who and conTherc is a time soon coming wlten the tariff question will be settled. It is not far a wav in the future, either. Jf the Republican party continues its work of levying a high tax on the necessaries of life, the question will be settled in favor of the Democratic party, as evidenced by the recent cyclone that overtook the g. o. p. early in Uct mmith.

A wAu helweeu those who favor lhe locating of shops at Princeton and those who disfavor it has been warm in and about Princeton. The people there as here and elsewhere Should remember that a town cannot ■prosper without a country and that a country can In no wise exist without a town—the bigger the better—remember it. Scoop the violators of the law. Let pone go unpunished. It is claimed that the indictments against some of .the whisky men are just, but that some of the most persistent violators of the law have escaped because they had for customers oj( Sundays men whose place it wbs to indict them. Is this true£>W<iso, “Tis strange, ’tis pasopg^range.” The towns surrounding Petersburg and 110 larger have done twice the advertising. The larger towns have advertised proportionately more thau twice as much. This accounts for why the other towns arc getting much of the benefit of buyers that should come here. As sure as can be, the fuerchatit that advertises right will do'the biggest business. The biggest advertisers in Petersburg are selling the most, and deserve to, for they hustle for trade. v' - A long time the Democrat has advocated the organizing of a Business Men’s Association. Almost every one says it is proper and businesslike to do so. As the town is slow in This matter, why do not the order F. M. B. A. take the matter in hand ? It will pay the farmers to do it. If they will send circulars to the eastern farmers, stating prices and quality of l'ike couuty lands, etc., etc., buyers will come here, buy lauds, and thereby the value of all real estate iu the pnunty will be increased. These arc tacts well known to ail who are posted. The republican press have raised the cry ot democratic adjunct, refer- . ing to tjie alliance. The Indianapolis Journal started the howl and all of its country pup* are expected to i-eep up the yelp. Well, the poor fellow must have something to rave wbo.ut and we presume this will do them as well as any. Of course no sensible person will believe such rot, but it furnishes our republican contemporaies something to “fill up” with, therefore we can only pity them in their dying struggles.—Progressive Farmer. The Parmer must acknowledge), however, that the doctrine of the Alliance is so near that of Democracy that, if there had been no such tiling political prejudice, thero would never have been any political organization by the Alliance men, but they would all be voting the Democratic ticket. Those tin plate factories, so often spoken of by (ho advocates oi high tariffs, are nut so rapidly coming into existence as they would have the people believe. There will, no doubt, be a good many erected. They Will do S good business, too, but the people Who buy tinware eriff have to pay for it dearly. Whether these factories that will be erected provjt profitable depends on whether they will coal the people mere than they »re. worth them. At present every box of tin used iu t)ie IT. 8. costs $1.50 for the item tariff alone: in other words, the pays that iuuc'i tariff, j the aggregate, makes an enorsum of money each year. It is i be tho east of a few factories that can do the masses no good; the country, except the plutocrats engaged in these fgntoiies, woijjd better do wilhtiu piafe in

_ THE GIRL ABOUT TOWN. What I would call your attention to is the social condition of the people in Pike county. With all the ehurclies and church going, there is no special church society. 8om^ times it can he observed that a few people who belong to tlin same church, like birds of a feather, are oftener found in each-other’s company than the company of strangers. This comes about, not so much because the persons under consideration belong to the church as much as from the fact that they belong to the same congregation, and have become well acquainted by being constantly thrown together; and I would have you understand that this is not a church society, but is rather it congregatioE’s society. What is known as church society, as it should be, dislinct and separate from the world, or an elite ot its own and better than those who do not belong to the churches, does not exist nowadays: nor can you tell who belongs to the church or who don’t, if you judge from the everyday walks of the people. Some church members stvear and drink, and some who are net church members neither swear nor drink. Thus yop find it with rofereuce to everything, so that the ouly way to tell who belougs to the church aud who don’t is by inquiry or an examination of the church books. These things ought not to be. Inasmuch as there are churches,thcie should be a church society distinct and separate and of such demeuor as would enable those who do not belong to churches to know it by the daily walk of the members. Nat a great while ago I heard a man who sold goods in Petersburg for several years say that the July thing necessary to establish the jredit of a buyer was to know that he belonged to the Methodist church.

'18 H 80 now » sa»u UC. ai [ can not tell a church member by the way he pays. lie will swindle you is quick as anybody else.” What has brought about this condition I am niot prepared to say. Saloon men san trust oiie another; gamblers can1 trust one another, however often they may swindle others; but the church member would as soon swindle his hrethreu as anybody else, when he ices so at all, on the grounds, perlaps, that it is just as dishonest to swindle one as it is to swindle another. So you see that even in siu the ;hurch is not a society distinct and separate from the world around it. 1'ake gamblers, taorse-tbieves, or robbers, and they stick together and oppose everybody else, but the church member opposes everybody else and sticks to himself only. Still the •hurch is elevating and eunqbliug. It has brought the world from a vavige lethargy and has been the father if the institutions of learning since he days of the Druids, if not longer. But this has always been done by :hc church’s religious influence, and nas nothing whatever to do with diurch society as spoken of in the foregoing. The influence of religion apou mankiud has been too near perfection to admit of the slighest criti;ism. All this concerns us bore. As o the berafter it will concern us on he condition that t hero is a stale of happiness and perfection to gain or lose in the everlasting ages beyond die river oi death. Accepting this as iruc there must iheu be a necessity if belonging to the church. Perhaps ibis can be illustrated by Senator Vance’s story of an old darkey’s idea if the elect. The Governor was tiding through Buncombe county, South Jarolinia, one day, and fell in company with an old darkey. “Where lavo you been, uncle ?” queried the [Jovernor. ‘Been to clinch sail.” Yon belong to the Baptist, said Mr. Vance. “No, sab, not zactly,” replied the negro. “CampbelSItc, then,” laid the Governor. “Cau’l swnllcr :lat» said the darkey. After the .rovernor had mentioned -all the liuivhcs of the neighborhood, he demanded: “What church, Iheu, do ;nu belong to?” “Still,” said the col>red brother, “My ole massa was a Presbyterian, and I hah adopted dat aith.” “You believe iu the elect, lien,” was Mr. Vance’s next approach upon the darkie’s religious :omliiiqn. “Don’t zactly nnderatan’ hat wud,”aaid the colored friend. ‘Well,” replied the Governor, “if I «m elected to go to heaven, will I be ibsolutoly certain to get there?” At ;hls the religious African deccndent Hesitated. lie did not >>ana to intuit the Governor, and knew he did not belong to any church. Finally, ixdtig pressed to an answer by the [jovernor, hit replied: “X (ol you massa, I nebber node do men lected ;o offis when he war no candidate.” \ud so you may rely on it, that, if rou are never ail applicant at the gate o be found at the end of the straight md narrow way, yoii will never go n thereat.

Logan. Humble. Ind., Dec.2I—After an absence from your valuable paper for some time, which we, as a family, value very highly, cspccialy the sec-, oud and third pages, I will give you Home news from the“Laud of Logan.” Health is good. Corn a fair yield. Wheat looking bad. Stock in fair condition. The Biaizo boys, J. B. and AV. H. intend to build new bams. Miss Cleve Bates, of Madison township, visited friends in Logan township the past week. The Lory boys, of Petersburg, are doing some tin work in our neighborhood. Will the Commissioners give us a prohibitory stock law, lower our tax, coin-tail the expenses, and give us a rest ? Mrs Sylvester Hightower presented her husband with a new Democrat boy baby on Wednesday last. Sil wishes it could be old enough to vote iu D2. Washington Letter. Special. Washington, Dec. ?2—The Speakership contest is centralizing in Washington. Ever since the election the contest has been conducted at long range. Mr. Hatch was interviewed in Missouri, Mr. Bynum in Indiana, Mr. Crisp in Georgia, and Mr. Mills in far-off Texas. The ranks are now closing. Mr.. Outhw-aite, of Ohio, was the first of the candidates to reach here, and has since been conducting the campaign in a still-hunt sort of a way, with very little to say to anybody about bis prospects. Mr. Springer is more pronounced in bis methods. He has bung his banners on the outer walls, and wants all the werld to know that he Is ready to fight for the tempting prize. The cloud that >8 now no larger than a man’s band is Congressman elect Daniel S,Lockwood’s Speakership boom. Mr. Lockwood has uot as yet opened headquarters here, but will be down by the first of January and look over thegroubd. In the meantime'the walls of the handsome suite in the Shoreham occupied by Representative Wiley, the Democratic member from Buffalo, echo many a sentence iu Mr. Lockwood’s favor. Both men are from the same town, and although Mr. Wiley will not be in the next Congress, he is a clever politician, and is wealthy and popular, so that the boom does not suffer by being in the bauds of such a man. Mr. Wilev call hardly be said to be managing Mr. Lockwood’s campaign, as no pgfn of procedure has yet been decided upon, but he is receiving numerous letters from New fork favoring hla friend’s advancement. In conversation, Mr. Wiley stated that Mr. Lockwood would certainly have the entire New Tork delegation to etart with, and that the membeis would not he passive friends but earnest workers. It Is stated from good authority that Judge Crisp will have the indorsement of Senator Gorman and Gov. Hill. If this statement made iu New York, be true, it will mean that the Speakership contest will be the skirmishing ground or the Presidential Campaign. The first effort to boom Mr. Blaine for the Presidency whs made recently by Hon. Thomas V. Cooper, of Pennsylvania, formerly Chairman of the Republican State oopunittee and now collector of the port, who came to Washington in company with A. K. McClure and other Pennsylvania politicians. Mr. Cooper made no concealment of the Tact that bis visit to Washington at this time pas to consult with Mr.Blaine as to thf candidacy of the latter for Presidential nomination in 1802. Mr. Cooper culled at the State Department, where he was closlted yith the Secretary until late in the afternoon, bpt the result of the conference was not divulged. ; The misguided Republicans who are still pushing the force bill bad better go flow. . . .... r

When the bill was pendin' in the House, Congressmen Itwart and Coleman warned their Republican colleagues that its passage would prove a death Mow to Republican ascendancy in the Southern States, and that there would not be a corporal’s guard of Republican members from that section in the next House. show how completely this prediction was fulfilled it is but necessary to refer to the .'act that, while the present House contains twenty-five Republican members from the Southern states, there are but five Southern Republicans elected to the next House. But the South is not the only place where the force bill is unpopular with the people. The returns from Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge’s district are quite interesting, 'two years ago, Mr. Lodge had a plurality or 6,285. This year his Democratic opponent was a non-resident of the district, Mr. Lodge had the assistance of the ablest Republican leaders, and every effort was made to have him r*n ahead of his ticket, and make a good snowing, that the result might be used to advance the force hill. Tet Mr. Lodge was re-elected bv only about 1,000 plurality, having lost 4,000 of his plurality of two years ago. There is no mistaking the meaning of these results in the North and in the South. Conspicuous among the Dew members of the Fifty-second Congress stands Col. John R. f ellows of New York. Noted throughout the country for the brilliancy of his oratory, there is hardly a doubt that he will sustain the prestige he has won fn the- American metropolis? as an advocate and political leader of rare ability. He..expscts to remain in Washington fora few days on private business. In conversation, in answer to an inquiry to the cause of the Republican downfall, he stated that no one cause brought about the recent overwhelming disasters that befell the opposition. High tariff had its effect and so did the insolent way in which the minority in Congress was suppressed, not to speak of the unseating of members in three or four minutes under a gag rule that admitted no debate. Representative Fellows has fait the nail on the head and the Country is tired of such tyranny. Minorities have some rights, than which nothing is more cjenrlv taught by the lesson of November tth^, .Democratic policy now lies in reversing, so far as it is possible, the course lately pursued by the other side. Who doubts for a moment the ce idem nation of the force bill by the vast body of American citizens? Should the Fifty-first Cotgress persist in enacting it, the Republican Candidate for1 Fresident in 1862, probably' will not get as many as sev-enty-five electoral votes.

A Great Paper. TbeOhristms issue of the New York Ledger is a souvenir worthy of the source from whence it emanates. l£ contains a choice selection of articles by George Bancroft, Margaret Delaud, James Bussel Lowell and others, who would certainly wear the“palm-embroidered coat” were there an Amer'can academy of“immurtale.” The veteran historiographer contributes to this periodical the second of .his papers on ‘•Oliver Hazard Perry and the Battle of Laae Erie,” portraying with rare ability incidents of the carnage and the fate of the flagship Lawrence. In watching the vivid scenes depicted here the reader is -deeply impressed with the phi-nominal activity of the nouegarian, enabling him to rise superior to physical infirmity, and tike auother Titian, continue to cover bis canvass to the admiration of mankind. Amelia E. Barr, author of several muchadmired stories, begins in this number-The Beads olTasmer,” a novel of prime interest, whose scene is laid on the shores of West Itoss, on the coast oi Scotland. Between William Black and Mr. and Mrs. Fennel the Land of Mist aud the stormy Minch seem familiar localities. . ltobert Grant hegius^Mrs, HaroldStagg,” a lively story of American life, displaying a profound knowledge of the life ho describes. The opening chanters contain a striking lilustnu.on, drawu by 11. C. Edwards. Mrs. Delauds novelette,“To What End?” is brought to a close, and so is“0!d Elizabeth,” by Marquise Clara Lanza. ~ An Admirable dialect storv is“Fori fathers’ Day,” by“Josiab Allen’s Wife,’’who is a much appreciated member of tae'comtnuuity. Dr. Julia Holmes Smith gives sensible advice in the current num!>er of •‘Common Sense for Mothers aud Nurses.” A beautiful Christmas story of a West Jersey village is“A Happy Leaf,” by Marion Hartagd, a writer who never fails to touch some secret spring of happiness, and set it vibrating for all to hear. Mr. James Russel Lowel'S poem,“My Brook.” was written especially for this paper, aud is a feature of prime importance; in recognition of its value the publishers priut it as a supplement in a loose loaf with a series of appropriate illustrations by Witsonde Meza. Iu“My Brook” the poet reverts to the days of bis youth“vvben the hours were so many, the duties 60 few,” and sings some of the dreams suggested by the brook. The imagery is aeriul in its delicacy and adapted to the evanesccnt“wiU-o’-the-vvisp” character of the fancies exhibited in the verse. While reflecting off the“Land of Lost Days.” as he calls the past, Mr. Lowell sings in a regretfni strain, as if he mourned the idyllic days. The closing stanza implies a reconciliation with the fate that had changed the rural stream, with suggestions of naiads and water-lilies, into a poor drudge, supply ing “power” for prosaic factories. Blit the memory of old joyous days abides with the poet: - { . “As the Moors In their exllegtlie keys treasured still Of tnelr castles In Spain, so have 1; and no fear *- But the doors wjll fly Open whenever we will. To the prime of the past and the sweet of the year.” The sentiment expressed in“My Brook” places Mr, Lowell ou a plane with Mri-Rus-kin regarding the want of poetry implied by the flourishing era of manufactures. When the industrial arts', machine-impelled, come in at the door, bringing wealth; plenty and luxurious comfort in their Ira in,’poetry —according to these two voices—flies out at the window. The Christmas, number of the New York Ledger coiues with a cheerful exterior, in keeping.with the festal season.
