SOMERSET COUNTY,

ia colored boy calling himself Jim
Williams, and hailing from Blackwater, in
Dorchester county, was picked up in the
sound, on Tuesday last, in stolen canoe
He was brought to Chrsfied and tried, but
there being no evidence but his own confes
sion, he was ordered to be committed for
further examination, and was secured in the
kitchen of Johnson's hotel to take the morn
ing train for Princess Anne. During the
night he made his escape, stole two skifs,
which he set adritt; robbed two schooners,
stole clean shirt, box Of collars, suit Of
clothes and a fine canoe, and then made for
parts unknown. The night and morning
being unusually toggy, he was pursued,
caught and finally brought to his quarters in
the Grey Eagle, on Thursday. He at first
represented the canoe as stolen from Solo
mons Island in the Patuxent, but now says
he took it from DR.. Waters landing on the
Manokn, in this county. -.Somerset Herald.

building is due TO him more than TO any
other man. Does this look like being,
as he is falsely charged, an enemy ofour
public schools, or of the system? The
truth is, and il is well known even to
those who are active in speaking 20 the
contrary, that Mr. Barlov is and has
been from the time when political action
was made particularly a test of loyalty
in this state, wholly and heartily and
all the time on the side of the union
cause, and with his accustomed energy
and ability he has rendered the best Of
service. lie has also, without regard 10
politics, been the friend and promoter

from highway and sidewalk to Academy
and Church. His faith TO individuals
and TO the party has been unbrolcn !;
and his efficiency and ability arc we'll
known not only in our midst bat
through the state. The remonatrances,
therefore, which reach us from other
portions Of the state, deprccating the
opposition to his election, are only in
dicatiOns of the interest which Republic
cans, who are free from the local views
which operate upon some here, have in
the success of an efficient and faith
ful legislator, and the entire success Of
the party in this county-eapccial
when success il with it only a matter of
its own choice.
We earnestly request, then, that the
question ofhcartily supporting the whole
ticket may be examined in the light of
the public good, and not in that of diff
cultes which result from private feel
ings, and the nature of circumstances
and we feel confident that the well in
tending and conscientious men will
compose suclra majority as will redeem
this county from the unenviablc nOtorie-
ty OF being represented (?) by such votes
as the one we have kept before our
readers, given last Fall.

The story BUSINESS.

We have given some attention TO q
cula,ed against The Republican candi-
date for the Senate from this town, per-
haps more than they deserved, for one
and all are fabrications without any eX-
istence in truth, and ought to rcfute
themselves with those who know Mr..
Barlow. But people may believe things
which are not true, as we often find !;
and it does no harm TO contradict lies
sometimes. The story that Mr.. Barlow
is at heart a Democrat, and that he has
said he only wants to get the election
this year, and then the party may go to
-, well, where coal is cheap--is one
of these lies This is about all we need
say of that story. Mr.. Barlow is endors-
ed as thorough and consistent Repub-
lican by men Of character all over the
state, who have had the best opportu-
mites for studying his political charac-
ter and noting his political action for
years, especially while he has acted as
a legislator. Ii Mr.. Barlow was merely
assuming Republlcanism, such men
would surely see through the preteXt,
and reject and expose his professions.
We believe, in common with all who
know him, that he is as Republican
above suspicion. 1t seems a little singu-
lar, and Il very suspicious coincidence,
that those who throw doubts upon Mr..
Barlow's Republicanism are also engag-
cd vouching for Mr. Atwood's Repu6H-
c0nism, in the face of his war record and
his vote against Congress last fall, and
of his present political position. 1t is
curious hOW much and aUi,dt people can
consent to swallow, when they shut
their eyes and open their mouths. A
young robin is not fair example of
them.
These gentlemen, who also falsely as
sert that Mr.. Barlow has stated that he
will be elected, if it costs him $4,000,
do not seem to think it wrong to use
money to accomplish their purposes, as
they assert that he shdU be beaten ut
aOhQtcuer cost" BY this we understand
that they will use all the money it may
require to secure his defeat, though the
amount should exceed $4,000. This is
going on the principle that political vir-
tue depends altogether upon who prac-
tees it-that what is, in their opinion,
wrong on one side, has no limit of
right Oh the other. This is cOnUeni-
ent doctrine, but it ought to be repu-
dated with its authOrs

4 Tiesr from the outside.

The following article from the Bur-
lington Daily Free Press, we commend
to the attention of our readers. Not Il
paper, or prominent Republican out
side of our County, but endorses Mr..
Barlow as a sound Republican and an
able and efficient legislator and hopes
for his election. When it is considered
that such man, or Democrat, must
be our Senator this year, we think that
even very serious individual objections,
if such exist, ought not to stand in the
way of an answer loyal to the party, and
encouraging to its friends.
The Free Press says:
1t seems the millennium has not so
nearly arrived in Franklin County after
all. Time has developed two active
bolts, one against the Republican nOmi-
nee Tor Sheriff and in favor Of Mr.. Soule
OF Fairfax, who was Sheriff last year,
but did not secure denomination this
and one against Mr.. bradley Barlow
1or Senator, and in favor-not of any
Republican, but Of his opponent on the
Democratic ticket, Mr.. Victor Atwood.
The bolt on sheriff, however, we
judge, will not amount TO much, while
that on Senator is absorbing the main
share of interest and feeling in the Coun-
ty. We are sincerely sorry to see it, and
can discover no Justification Tor 1T. AS
a rule, the good reasons for boiling Il
regular nomination are fraud in the
making of the nomination, and politi-
cal unsoundness, personal disreputabili-
ty, or gross unfitness for the office in
the nominee. Neither of these reasons
exists in the case of Mr.. Barlow. 1t is
conceded that he was fairly nominated I;
he is square Republican, gentleman
OF high personal character, and an able,
