B0r"The Democratic party is dealing

of resistance to the public will, if that will
shall be pronounced in favor Of the election of
Gen. Grant" Mr.. Greedy is the only man
we can now think of, whose manners and vo-
cabulary are capable of characterizng such
charge in the terms it richly deserves. The
Times knows that it utters such stuff for par
tisan effect alone. One day it taunts the De-
mocratic party with being a ''peace party"
and on the next it charges it with revolution
airy designs. The Democrats do seriously in
tend that all the legal votes of the people in
this election shall be counted, because the
people so mean it themselves. They have
not yet learned creed that recognized any
power in this country, whether of Congress
sional faction or a sectional organization, as
superior to the plain authority Of the people.
Inasmuch as that final authority has been ap-
pealed to in the election of President and
Vice President, it is to be heard in its fulness
The party that fears to abide by the result Of
the appeal is the party of revolution, and
there is none other. It's journals need not

rity by crying "wolf" at the OPPOSITION

We publish below an interesting commu-
nication from Luke w. B. Hutchins, Esq, OF
st. Mary's county, chairman Of committee
to locate this road in Prince Georges county.
As the prosperity Of country depends so
entirely upon its internal Improvements, the
suggestions of Mr.. II. are especially worthy
of, and we hope will receive the careful con-
sideration of our people, and that the co-ope-
ration he desires will be checrfully extended.

CHARLOTTE HALL, ST. Mdrys Co., Md.
DEAR SIR:-The commissioners for the
survey of road from Point Lookout, to some
point in Prince Georges have organized and
are putting on the force to carry on the sur
yey. !. 1t is some interest to the people of
Prince Georges where this "point" shall be.
IF they stop on the Potomac Road, at or near
Brandywine, it does not benefit your county
a great deal, but if it goes on and connects
with the Baltimore and Ohio Road at Bla-
densburg, Beltsville, or Laurel, it must trav-
erse the county twenty miles or more, and be
of great benefit. Can you arouse the people
so as to lend material aid to justify the sur
veg that far In cs.naeeA:~n--z.s;ti.-.s'~sr -"--
iehd, / think it can be done, Let me hear
from you. asasFa

teachings and the practice of Radicalism have
destroyed much Of the old reverence for the
precious legacy of our ancestors. We may
dread lest they should do this thing, but we
do certainly knoa0 that the Republican party
has already done it. At least it is a chance
a last chance of salvation. If that fails us
if we must submit to the whims of a MAORI

whether it rejoices in the name of Republican
or delights in the title of Democrat. If a

General Episcopal Convention Of the
United States.

The General Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States, which
holds its session once in three years, will meet
in the city of New York on the 7th of Octo-
Der next. Bishop Stevens, in late circular,
referring to the fact, says: 60 -
II 10 this great council off our church will be
gathered, for the first time since 1859, bish-
ops. clergy, and laity from all of the United
States. 1t will comprise larger number of
bishops and a larger number of dioceses than
any Of our previous councils. The business
which will be brought before it is of the deep
est importance to the weIl-being of the church,
now and hereafter. The erection of six or
seven new dioceses and missionary jurisdic-
lions; the election and perhaps conservation
of several bishops; the readjustment of our
code Of caDons to new phases of church growth
and action; the various memorials touching,
vital points of faith, ritual and discipline,
which will be presented; the recasting OF the
whole foreign missionary work of the church;
the needed revision of the course of studies for
candidates for Holy Orders, as prescribed by
the House of Bishops; the devising of new
and enlarged agencies of church education and
church extepsion the methods by which we
can best minister the spiritual needs of the
poor, the working-classes, the freedmen, the
fallen Of every grade, on the one hand, as well
as reach and successfully grapple with the
various forms of rationalsm and unbelieving
science on the-other. These and other equal
ly great questions, each big. with untold con-
sequences, will engage the deliberation of the
legislative council. In addition to these mat
ters, which pertain specifically to convention
al action, there are many other topics connec-
ted with the operation of the several great
voluntary societies in the Church, which hold
their meetings at the same time, and the pro-
ceedings of which will have a moulding in
nuence on the church at large.

The Maine Election.

The Maine Election.
: The returns from the Maine election show
that the Radicals have carried the State by a
majority of only eighteen thousand. In 1866
they had majority of 1850. They lose
nearly 10000 this year as compared with that
vote. Last year the liquor question was
made direct issue, and many Republicans
staid at home, while numbers voted the De-
mocratic State ticket. That law has been
partially repealed and was not an issuein the
present contest. For the past eight years the
Radical majority in Maine has averaged over
100000. The Democracy have no reason to
be disheartened by Mondays work. The re-
suit is fully as favorable as we anticipated

the expenses of the same in St. Mary's and
Prince Georges combined, while the pay Of
the Judges alone, $6sS, is 500 more than
that of those in both counties together; the
amount in the two counties being 1862.
Perhaps this comparison, so damaging to
the financial interest of Charles county, could
be extended to the administration of other Of
fees. But my object is to call attention to
the expenditures of the Office of which am
member. Let others pursue the subject fur
ther if they wish.
In making this statement am actuated by
no unkind feelings towards my worthy and
admired associates. Least of all is it my de-
sire to cast censure upon them or call in ques-
ton their purity and honesty of purpose. As
before remarked, they doubtless act from
sincerely conscientious motives. The differ
ence between us is only one of opinion-they,
believing in the propriety Of frequent meet
ings-I, seeing no necessity for them. In
my opposition to them am also moved by
another principle-that of being faithful to
promises made confding constituency
trust the figures here presented will have
the tendency to awaken deep interest in the
question Of taxation-an inter-
est not to be shown in useless complaint and
repining, but one out of which may spring
a fixed determination to rise to the impor-
lance of the subject, that our burdens may be
made lighter and easier to bear.
