The Independent Party in MarylGnd.-Tt is
really amusing to see how our opponents grasp
at shadows to sustain their desperate cause.
They have raised a grand shout over the dissO-
luton of the independent Taylor party in
Maryland, as if it were a misfortune instead
Of being, as it is, a great advantage to the
cause of our gallant chief in that State. The
party in question had nominated an indepen-
dent Taylor Electoral Ticket, and it became a
matter Of high importance to have that ticket
withdrawn, as running two Taylor tickets in
the State might have endangered the result.
The recent proceedings Of this party have
Withdrawn this ticket, and now all the friends
of General Taylor in Maryland are united on
one ticket, and its success is, consequently,
certain. and it is for this that the Cass men are
rejoicing? Verify, it is the day Of small things
for them. The Baltimore Patriot, in alluding
10 the subject, says:
"The effect of this movement is to unite in
support Of the regular ticket, all the friends OF
Gen. Taylor in Maryland. AS the election Of
Gen. Taylor wus the one purpose for which
the independent movement was started, il was
we'll said by the President Of the Convention
that the persistence in keeping . second cleo
toral ticket in field, would be inconsistent with
that purpose; and therefore, was it wisely
decided by the Convention to withdraw it.
elf any one supposed that injury would re-
suit to the prospects Of Gen. Taylor, by the
course Of this Convention, they will find them
selves, if Wings, happily disappointed; and il
for Gen. Cass, sadly disappointed. The Con-
v~ention have done just what they should
Withdrawn their ticket, and thus removed the
seeming division in the ranks of the friends Of
Gen. Taylor in Maryland, of which we have
heard SO much in the papers out Of the State
but which, whether the dissatisfied were many
or few, now no longer exists"

The Boston Transcript states, on the au-
thOrity Of private letters, that the Expedition
to explore the Dead Sea, sent out BY Govern
ment under command of Lieut.. Lynch, has
been successful. The party completed their
operations and returned on the 10th of May TO
jerusalem, where they were regarded with
great honor by the people as having achieved a
wonder. During their researches they sounded
the sea to the depth Of 900 fathoms, and found
the bottom in all its parts encrustSd with crys-
taliized salt. Ducks were seen skimming
along the %surface ofthe sea, partridgeS abound
ed on the shore. This and the fact that though
the party remained 10 camp near the sea for
two months without suffering sickness, prove
current stories to be fabulous.

The Land Speculations.-The Louisville Jour
nal of a recent date publishes letter from B.
B. KerchevaI, Secretary Of the " Western
Land Associutioh' of 1885, in reply to certain
reveaIments connected with Gen. Cass' inter-
est in that company. The Journal says this
Kercheval letter was written by Gen. CasO
himself, because a comparison Of the manu-
script with fac siniIe of his handwriting
leaves no doubt of the matter. The letter ad-
mits that General Cass did engage in this spec
ulation while he was Secretary Of War, but it
denies that such 3 course was improper in q
man whose official position gave him the man
agement, leasing and sale Of the public lands
and the appointment Of agents who are requir-
ed to make their reports to him! This is
strange doctrine to speak before an honest
people. The letter also denies that Governor
Hubbard ever wrote a letter to General CasS
charging him with dishonesty in this transact
ton. The Journal gives it's authority for stat
ing that such a letter was written: that au-
.hority is Hon. F. O. J. Smith, who was a
prominent member Of Congress when the spec
ulating association was formed.
