after some IonI desperate eucrISp nave Succeeueu
in nominating nine candidates torepresent Balh-
more in the Legislature. One more candidate is
still wanting TO complete the list. The party
seems 10 be in a complete state of confusion
Never were men SO completely at loggerheajs.-
The persons nominated are, with but one or two
exceptions, totally unfit for the position. mex
perience, incapacity, and want of judgment, are
their distinguishing characteristics.
1t is well understood that the Wings of Balti-
more will not nominate ticket for the Legisla-
ture. They win, with but few exceptions, sup
port the temperance candidates, whose success
seemsvery Aatteripg.
/ had conversation, yesterday, with RichardJ.
Bowie, Esq, the Wing candidate for Governor
He has already set out upon his tour of canvass
ing the State. He has given Mr.. Ligon, the Dem
ocratic nominee, an invitation to travel with him
and discuss matters, openly, publicly. Mr. Bowie
is in admirable spirits and has assurances from his
friends of success. He is high-toned, accom-
plished gentlemen, an admirable stump speaker,
and must make decided impression. The gene
raj belief is that he will be elected. The Wing
spirit isgetting up to high-water mark. The con-
test will be avery animated one. You may rest
assured that Maryland will speak with such
voice as 10 show the Wing party still liveth.
/ learn that youth named Gardner, has been
arrested at Annapolis for robbing the United States
Mail. An officer has been sent after him, and he
will be brought to the city this evening. Quite
large amount of money has been taken by him.
There is good deal of uneasiness here, grow
ing out of report, that difficulties have occurred
West which will change the route of the Central
Ohio Railroad, and prevent its connecting with the
Baltimore and Ohio Road at Wheeling. ThiSmay
be a scheme of the Bears to depreciate the stock,
but some apprehend there is loo much truth in the
rumor. hope your editorial columns will give us
some lig-t upon the subject Our citizens look
TO the Intelligencer for reliable information con-
Cerning all matters of this kind. 1n.my own iudg-
ment such course would be greatly dsadvanta-
eeous to the great chain of Ohio Improvements and
eventuate decidedly to their disadvantage. Our
information is to the effect that the interests of the
Penusylvanians have triumphed.
There has been quite movement in Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad stock within the past few days.
The sales yesterday reached about 1000 shares in
all at 648a674, an advance of "a per share. To-
day the market was duller and sales of 400 shares
were made at 6sa64, showing decline of 1925.
There is, however, decided disposition among
that large orders are now out to buy, and that the
stock must eventually go up. Many of the sales
reported from day to day are unreal-Or in other,
words, the stock is never delivered at all. The
purchases are made on time. and when the day OF
delivery arrives, settlement is made by paying the
difference. The truth is, if all the sales were bo.
ma fide, the entire stock of the Company would
change hands in year. Many of our substantial
capitalists have large amounts of it sailed down in
anticipation of an advance which is certain totake
place in three OF four months. They expect to
realize IS 10 $50 per share.
) When the road was opened last spring, it will
be recoected very little could be done i'll conse-
uuence of the tunnels not being Completed
When they were finished then navigation i'll the
river was retarded therefore the business was COM
paratiyely small to what it wl-must be this fall
when your boats commence running regularly and
the load is prepared to do all the business offered
I Travel will increase one half or more. The route
in all respects is most preferable, being varied and
possessing variety, which the amending chain Oh
railway travelling, on other routes inhcts upon
the traveller That it is the shortest, safest, ami
best 1out all admit, and knowing this the travelling
community is bound to give 1.-THE preference Mark
my prediction that the business of the road is GER
: tain to increase in double ratio.
learn with pleasure, that the report of the
President, Mr.. Harrison, which is TO appear before
long will be an admirable one, and in all respects
, favorable. Ihearitintimated that Mr.. Swami, the
former President, who is now in Europe, is in fair
way of negotiating a lone of some two millions OF
dollars to be appropriated to lay the second track
This must also tend to give increased confidence to
the stock. It is not expected the company will
nay dividend at its next annual meeting. The
surpluss earnings are being appropriated to i'm
proving the road and putting it in more complete
order for business. This is iudIcious policy.
Carroll Spence, the newly appointed Minister to
Constantnople is preparing to depart his mission.
He will leave on or about the goth of October, in
