city. 1t IS however, more particularly confined to
the stock operators, some of whom have lost heaV-
lily by the recent depression, and ara quiverng in
the wind. One or two failures are now currently
lspoken of. Many of our substantial capitalists
who invested some time ago in Baltimore q Ohio
Railroad stock at s6Oas10 per share, found them,

The Democrats of the Third Congressional Dis
trict of Maryland held a convention to-day i'll thi
city, and after organizing, unanimously agree
not to accept the resignation of Joshua Vansan
their candidate. This is in substance equiValen
to his denomination, They also adopted an ad
dress and resolutions, calling upon the Democrat
ic voters of the District 10 support him.. The Who'll
thing, therefore, will result in his standing, an
have no doubt, his election. The district j

dent democrat will doubtless make strong poll

The excitement III railroad stock continues
1t rallied little to-day and sold at $40 TO S45-
an advance Of 50. Many of our citizens hav
lost heavily in this stock. The best calculation
now show that the company will probably not b
able to pay a dividend for twelve months to come
ifthen. Strong efforts are making to lay ,doubl
track ON the entile route. TINS will cost som

confidence i'll the work. 1t is the life-blood c
our commercial prosperity, and better at ono

put the road in such condition as to do nj
the business offered. Any other policy will max
this great improvement drug, and greatly retnr
