COL. T. J. RANDOLPH.

We understand that this gentleman, in speech
at Earlysville, last Saturday, harped upon the
charge of Bargain and Corruption," which he
himself. in letter to Mr.. Clay in 1927, pro-
nounced an infamous calumny. In the course Of
his remarks, after summing up the pretended evil
dence in support of the charge, he stated that it
must be conclusive to every impartial man, whe-
Their Wing or Democrat, and called upon any
Wing present to refute it. When he had closed
his harangue, Wing present requested permits
sion to ask him question. "Certainly, sir"
says the Col, in the bandest possible manner.
/" Well, Col. Randolph, did you not write letter
to Mr.. Clay in 1927, stating that you did not be-
leve the charge which you now bring against
hint" go to Mr.. Clay, sir" exclaims the
COL, in furious rage, and if he chooses to pub
lish private letter, let him do it." He did not
deny, however, that he had written such letter.
1t is fact which Col. Randolph, We believe,
has never denied that he did write letter to
Mr. Clay in 1927, in which he stated that nei-
Their he nor his grandfather had any belief in the
charge which he is now so active in reviving.
How dare he repeat charge which he then de-
clared to be false!
He may fret and rave, but facts are stubborn
things" and we hope that no Wing speaker will
hesitate to confront him with his own denial of
the charge till he ceases to repeat t-Char.

We would suggest to the Globe man the ex-
pediency of giving orders to the manufacturers"
of his political correspondence to compare notes
before giving them to the compostor, as though
it matters little to them how much they lie about
the Wings, yet to give the lie to each other in
the same day and paper is rather bad manage

MAINE.

The very responding tone in which the Loco
foco papers speak Of their prospects in Maine,
clearly indicates that they look for defeat. The
election for Governor, members of Congress, and
members Of the Legislature CONES off on Monday
week. We shall look forward to the result with
great socitude. Maine is one of the States
which redeemed itself from the thraldom Of Lo-
cofocoism in 1910, but relapsed again, after Cap
tain Marpot at the White House had deserted
the party which elected him, and threw every
thing into confusion.
The Bay State (Boston) Democrat is evidently
very much downcast at the prospect, and almost
surrenders Maine to the Wings. The editor
thinks that the Locofocos have it in their power
to succeed, but appears to be alarmed at the en-
thusiasm and spirit of the Wings. We sincerely
hope that his fears are well founded. The cleo
ton for members Of the Legislature will be the
more important from the fact that United States
Senator is to be elected to supply the place OF
Mr.. Fairfield, whose term expires in March.
Maine is one of the States to which the Wings
of the Union have not looked with great deal oil
confidence, and should the result be as we have
now some reason to hope, it will produce uni.
versal delight and surprise.

LUOhFUNI, 1huSUst q, IC44.
Dear Sir: The indomiiable Wings of the
Cataract county made glorious and cheering de-
monstraton this day in our village. Notice was
given some weeks since that county mass meet
ing would be held here on the 22d, and though
no extra effort was made to gain the attendance
OF the masses, it was confidently expected that
respectable number would get together. But the
spectacle exceeded all anticipatIons nothing of
the kind was ever witnessed in Western New
York. Early In the morning, two boats came in
from Orleans loaded with over 800 gallant Wings
from that county, with their gIee club singing,
banners flying, and deep-toned voices cheering
for Harry of the West and the Jersey Blue. The
atmosphere gave indications of unfavorable wea-
Their, and we entertained some mOmentary fears
that our friends from the country would be COM

a SHARK CAUGHT OFF THE BATTERY-We
saw shark caught at the Battery Yesterday FORE
noon after the following novel fashion: "A boat
man, who was lounging in little skiff moored
close to the battery wall, just below the bridge
which connects the terrace with Castle Garden,
observeda large fish playing the surface of the
water near him Slipping his painter, he contri
we'd to get outside the "critter," and by dint of
patient maneuvring, drove it into shallow water.
Here leaning over the gunwac Of the boat he
seized the sea monster by the tail, and by main
strength slung it on the rocks, where it was again
seized by one of his companions and pitched into
the boat. 1t proved to be young shark, about
three feet In length, with well furnished mouth,
admirably adapted for biting off the legs of the
small boys that battle in that vicinity.-New York

LocoFoco REJorcINGs.--The rejoicings of the
Locofocos over the result of the late elections,
remind us of an old anecdote Of George the Third
OF England At the conclusion OF the revolution
airy war; the king ordered that day should be
set apart for general thanksgiving and prayer
throughout the kingdom. He was asked what
there was to give thanks for, after SO disastrous
conclusion of the war-was it because he had
lost thirteen OF his finest colonies! No, answer
cd the king. Was it because so many of his best
officers and soldiers had been killed such vast
amount OF money expended, and the debt of the
country increased so enormously! "No," said
the good latured monarch" zoe must thank God
Il is no icorse tcih us !" The Locofocos are re-
jocing and giving thanks upon the same sensible
principle, and pretend to feel happy and comfort
able that they are not completely annihilated-
Ihey are now practising philosophic compla-
cency against the time of their more awful woes,
when they will enphatically need all they can
ralse.-Hudson (M W Republican,

Mr.. HoBAN's REMARKs-CoRRECTloN.

We had prepared for to-day's paper an article
in reference to the remarks Of Mr. Hoban at the
hickory pole on Monday night, as published in
the Globe Of Tuesday. and stigmatizing them and
its utterer as we thought they merited But in
the Globe of last night we find disclaimer Tin
an obscure corner Of the paper,) from Mr. Hoban,
a portion of which we copy below. 1t affords us
pleasure to find that the slanderer, Kendall, has,
as yet, found no rival in Washington, however
low some aspirants have descended into the
depths of vulgarty and blackguardism. Mr.. Ho-
ban denies the language which the Globe pub
Iished as his, and we -cheerfuIly give him the full
benefit of the disclaimer He says:
"Speaking of the influence of the ladies', the
reporter represents me as saying that they would
never permit their sons, brothers, and husbands,
to vote for hoary old reprobate, who had passed
his life in the known and open violation Of every
law, human and divine
This, as it stands in the context, points by al
most self-suggested inference to Mr.. Clay--apply-
ing to him language of a strong and marked cha
racter. e
"The language quoted did not use. The
substance Of what said was, that that the rela-
tives of Democratic ladies' were taught, by their
ihucHce' 10 sympathy VI respect TOT SINNERS, OUT
would be found on the side of him whose career
involved no known or open violation of law, d.

II have repeatedly said, and my conduct has
conformed to my declarations, that, as far as was
concerned, meant to take no part in war Of
personalities unless provoked to, or justified in it,
by the course of our opponents. 81
81 certainly did not point out the leader of our
political antagonists. even by implication, as one
whose life had cen passed in the known and open
violation of every law, human and divine
For the gratuitous remarks in reference to the
Wing ladies', we leave him in their hands, kno,o.

sire seperer punishment inflicted upon him than

! The Globe calls the late pole dedication meet
ing "the largest popular assemblage ever witness
sed on any similar occasion in the District" This
is perhaps literally true, because never before
was meeting called upon precisely similar oc-
casion--that is to say, an occasion of dedicatng
Hickory pole made of Pine, which can only be
made to stand erect by means of twenty ropes
and stays, and surmounted by weather cock
Nothing of the sort ever happened before and
therefore what the Globe says may be true, but
the meeting was, according to all that we saw or
heard, not half SO large as the Wing dedication
meeting, or the Wing meeting at the City Hall.

SHIPrENsBuRG, Pa, Aug. %, 1874.
The good cause in this section is prospecting
glorously, and If do not mistake the signs of the
times, we shall strike terror into the ranks of the
harmonious Democracy at the fall elections.
On the 18th inst. we had most glorious ga
thering Of Wings at Carlisle in this county. 1t
was not merely an assemblage of hundreds, but
we had thousands in attendance, and such enthu-
siasm never witnessed on any former occasion
The number in attendance has been estimated at
from eight to twelve thousand. Ex-Governor
Ritner was chosent President of the Convention.
On taking his seat he made few remarks, but
the crowd was 50 dense that could not get near
enough to hear what he said AS speakers, we
had Mr.. Gibbons, of Philadelphia, the Buckeye
Blacksmith, Mr.. Weisil, Of Hagerstown, and Jos.
Chambers, of Chambersburg.
The Locos had a meeting on the 18th, but it
proved failure, in consequence of which they
are to have another on the 9th of September, at
Carlisle also. The first numbered about 600, all
told, which they now say was only county meet
ing, but their handbills were circulated through.
out all the adjoining counties, and some were sent
even to Maryland, calling upon all to attend.--
They are desperate in their efforts, and are using
desperate means to carry the election in this
State but their defeat will be as signal as their
means are dishonorable. like TO see them have
meetings. With the rejecting and inquiring por-
ton of their party, their speeches have tenden-
cy to ALLEVIATE them from their ranks.

great Wing Convention held there the previous
day. Speaking of the number in attendance, it
says
Never did such mass of citizens form in
procession in any part of our Western States, il
in the Union. On the ground, from the best Of
our judgment, there must have been in the neigh
borhood of thirty five or forty thousand"
