SadAecide~L--We regret to state that NJ
Louis Sere. for many years Deputy Clerk of
the lot District Court, and more ~recentlv Re.
eeiving Teller Of the Citizens Bank, was down.
ed last night, at the Second District ferry
wharf. We are informed that M. Sere had
escorted his sister to Algiers, where he resides,
and was returning TO to this side. Az the ferry
boat neafed the wharf, Mr.. s. attempted to
step ashore, but the night being dark he mis-.
calculated his distance and fell into the water.
a stldsd cry was heard, but the boat imme.
diatsly passed over him, and poor Sere was
seen no more. While we write We hear the
sound Of the guns which are being fred over
the spot where he fell, 10 the hope of causing
his body to rise to the surface. MI. Sere was
a Crsole Of this State, about thirty.six years
OF age, and we believe unmarried.-Dena.

A SILENT SCOURGE.

Never was the near future Of political parties
in this country so s%eething with anxious hopes,
and doubts, and fears; never 80 pregnant with
inexplicable terrors to time-servers and place.
men; never so ominous to demagogues and
huckstcrs in the field ofpolitics As now. From
the tap-roo.n to the Senate Chamber, wherever
party organization hrs heretofore stalked, con.
fdent and acknowledgements the edict of the
bullygoverned caucus has decided nominations
and appointments. and ruled with a rude, yet
iron hand, the rank and file of the people-lcd
like sheep to the slaughter--at the ballot-box,
all is dismav and trembling. The mounting
impudence, so brazen and hrow.beating until
now, is as suddenly hushed as though the fin.
ger of death vas on its lips-no grim skeleton
ever brought such stiffness to an Egyptian
feast. All ears are open to hear, all eyes are
staring to see, and all tongues are questioning
the course of the silent scourge that has risen
up in the land, invisible and secret as sleeping
lightning, to rebuke and punish the traders and
traitors who have so long corrupted the nation
al franchise, and brought the county to shame
and nigh to ruin.
Who is it-what is it-and where is it.
this scourge, so potent and purifying! Who
conceived i,--who evoked it-and how and
where is it to end, if, indeed, it end at all! Nigh
ty and mysterious scourge! preceded by no
rumbling, yet it stirs all the land, bursting like
a sudden earthquake wherever its fires are
called to purge Freedoms palladium, and make
the ballot what the trainers of the Republic
intended,

The above estimate includes 1926, 900 to be
paid by the city of Baltimore for the waite,
rights on the GuDpOwder, or if the water il
taken from Jones Falls, $3.50, 900, or from
Gwynn's Falls, $3.50, 900; but as the city Of

powder. the charge for water rights will be
only 1925 900, as above stated
The cost of delivering 81. SOC, 900 gallons of
water daily from the Great Falls, at the inter
section of High and Bridge streets, in George
town, "a distance Of fourteen miles) would,
according to Capt. Meigs' report, be 81, 800 600,
while our friends at Baltimore obtain 20, 600,
600 of gallons daily, from a distance of about
eight and a half miles, for 81 958, $50. Of this
distance six and three-qusrter miles will be
through tunnel of from fifty to two hundred
and seventy feet below the surface of the
ground. This far exceeds any tunneling or
dItcuities to be encountered on the line of the
aqueduct from the Great Falls, and proves
conclusirely that the estimate is proportion.
ably higher than the one furnished nv Mr.
Sickles to Baltimore, and adopted by the
authorities of that city.
The natural fow of the aqueduct from the
Great Falls will supply 87,500,0OO gallons
daily, at a cost of 81, 800 1000, whilst the pump
ing at the Little Falls, at cost of 81 662, 2I5,
will only supply 100000 gallons, and that
at heavy daily additional expense fer oper-
