The excitement respecting the probability

sided. and the leading journals, ashamed of
the panic which they created. arc attempting

THE NEWLY ELECTED COUNTY OFFICERS
The act of 1888, chapter 113, provides the
mode and manner Of qualifying the county
officers chosen at the Tate election, and it
may be a matter of interest to some to state
its provisions. The oath of Office must be
administered by the clerk of the Circuit
Court, or by one of his sworn deputies
Each person, after taking the oath, shall
write his name in Test Book, to be kept by
the clcrl, aforesaid, and shall annex to kfs
signature the title of the Office to which he
has been elected. The oath must be taken
within thirty days after the Judges of election
shall have made their returns. If this be not
done. the person so ncglecting to qualify
shall be deemed to have refused acceptance
Of the office to which he has been elected
The act does not apply to State officers, or to
members of the cgislaturc.- Sm.
VThc Sun is in error. BY chapter
Is, section 8, of 1854 the oath must be
taken "within thirty days from the day
when the Commission has been received
at the offices of the respective clerks,
instead of thirty days from the returns
of the Elections"

4 irom to "Argus" and TINT "Prominent
no'o,g Democrat" who lift "m disgust.
Mr.. RICKETTS,. Some of your readers have
no doubt seen communication in "Ihc
Cecil Democ,ot" of the 3rd inst, signed "Ar-
GUS" purporting to give an account of the
Withdrawal of prominent young Democrat
from the American order in the ncighborhood
of Octoraro Forge. Some may think now
that the election is over and "Argus" the
''Promincnt young Democrat" Gold Spec
taclcs" Turk Island' and all are fiat upon
their backs that it is not worth while to no.
tice the communication above referred to. but
think justice demands All exposition. That
correspondence is, from the first sentence to
the last, batch misrepresentation and will
full untruths got up at the eve of the election
when contradiction was impossible until
the ballots were cast, with the foul in tent
to belle and deceive. In proof of these
charges in the fist place, let any man read
his description of the condition of the Order
in the 9th District, and then examine the re.
turns of the late election and he will want no
more. In the second place let any man sift
out the character and true history of this
prominent young democrat and then say
| charge ARGUS" unustly. He states that
the character above alluded to was an Ex-
President of the Council. which is in this
particular case lie No /. The next represents
him as having left the order "in disgust"
which is Tic No 2. He then represents him
as being prominent chara ter which is lie
Mob He never mos President of any Coun-
Gil of the Order He did not withdraw from
the order but was expelled for gross viola
ton of his obligation, and he has also been
expelled from another secret order for the
same offence, being the only two societies or
orders this name has ever disgraccd nor is
he prominent character And so it is from
the beginning to the end of that communica-
ton and the end is even worse than the be-
ginning which the Bible says shall ARRAYS be
the case with the wicked. In conclusion
would say to every true American to press
forward with an unfaltering steps in defence
of our cherished principles upon the success
of which alone depends the continuation of
that civil and religious liberty which we now
enjoy and which every patriot should wish
to sec descended upon his postelity. s~

Mr.. EDIToR Now that the '.constant
noise and confusion" incident to an election
camrai gn have subsidized, and the successful
candidates arc "laughing in their Sleeves
while the defeated parties have resumed their
honest labors to repair their lost reputation
and means. we sit down to give you an ac-
count of the local transactions in this Rum
ridden town, without fear of any offence to
politicians, or taror from any body else.
Rum and its apostles have run riot over
our town. and we are now completely be-
meath its influence. But, thank heaven, our
temperance folks begin to see what is ncccs-
sary to be done. Within week past, two
temperance organizations have been rcsusia-
ted from The Lethe of carclessncss and neg
lect into which they had fallen and now the
signs of the times" encourage us to believe
that decided reform will b. effected before
many months shall be numbered with the
years beyond the flood" We shall look for
an Anpartcd impetus to the temperance cause
in this place, from those. men who have pied
ged themselves anew tc its support, that will
accomplish some permanent good. The SUBJ
.jccts Of old King Alcohol lavc ASSUMED an
cilrontery in our midst which is startling TO
the lovers of good order and decency but
we sincerely hope his reign will now be
short.
The burnt district in our town, is nearly
built UP. Winners warehouse is finished all
but the ''internal arrangements" 1t will
probably be ready for use about the first of
next month. The Sash Factory is almost
completed. In addition to the above men
toned improvements there are several other
buildings in course of erection. t
The other day, while talking with a gen.
tleman who is connected with the Railroad
between Perryvillc and Port Deposit, he in.
formed us that they intended having the
route graded sometime in January and the
cars running on it the 4th of July, lS56.--
We bclleve they have a strong force at work
at this time, and are pushing the project for
ward with much energy.
We are now in the midst of the "ducking
season." but the birds have been very scarce
up to this time Oh account. we presume of
the continued mildncss of the weather, and
and consequent absence of favorable winds.
