THE DRoUGuT IN MARYLAND.-The
drought which has prevailed in Mary
land for several weeks past, although
slightly abatod by occasional showers in
different localities, is telling severely
upon the crops. The Prince Georgian
says; ain the lower portion of Prince
Georges county, extending from the
Potomac to the Patuxent, and into
Charles aud St. Mary's counties, the
crops are represented to be in most
wretched condition; and our informant
states that unless rain falls in short
time, not barrel of corn to the acre
can be made. Added to this fearful
exhibit the tobacco crop is also suffer.

The Denton Journal says: "0n all
sides we hear the most unfavorable &c.
counts of the drought. In this section
it has been exceedingly protracted.-
There is no prospect, under even a
favorable change, o. one-half crop of
corn, aud if We are not visited by rain
in few days, the result will be serious
Pastures are becoming barren, and the
supply of butter is rapidly falling
Late potatoes are at n stand still, and
sweet potatoes, which usually stand a
drought without much injury, are now
suffering exceedingly Altogether we
see but gloomy prospect ahead"
The Salisbury Eastern Storemaa
remarks: Sowing to the long protract.
ed drought, vegetation of all kinds is
suffering severely in this section. Alb
sence of rain and cold nights are visibly
affecting the growing corn, which is
failing rapidly. Farmers are despond.
ing, and many assert that unless we
have rain in few days the crop will be
almost total failure"
The Kent Neies says: "There has
been no rain of any account in this sec

corn aud grass are suffering greatly ID

for him to do. Though nominally the

started of in the Presidency with an
effort to steer clear Of the politicians, but
his well-meant attemptwas quickly foiled
by their superior skill and his egregious
blunders, and he is now completely in
their tolls. His ignorance of public

Dl.app,oin.sd HOPE. g.


The results Of the elections in vir-
gina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alaba-
ma are not very favorable for the
continued predominance of Radicalism
aud the intelligence from those States
has been received by leading Radicals
with rueful countenances. These re-
suits indicate, that the negro vote, so
confidently relied upon for Radical su.
premacy, cannot always be controlled in
the interest Of that party, and the dis
eovery has appalled, them. 1t would
not surprise us, now, if the 18th amend
nent should not be ratified. 1t was
from NO devotion to the principle Of
universal suffrage, nor from any real
desire 10 ameliorate the condition of the
eolored man, that the attempt to give
him the ballot was made. But simply
from q desire to maintain itself as the
49,
dominant party, and to hold on to the
ofhces, through the aid of colored votes.
Hthat result cannot be accomplished
by such means, il is easy for them to
abandon such means, and let the 18th

At an carly hour on Saturday morni

At an early hour on Saturday morning
a northern bound passenger train on
the Northern Central Railroad, met
with serious accident while passing
over the track Of the Schuylkill and
Susquehanna Road, nine miles west Of
Harrisburg. A hinge rock had fallen
on the track and the engine striking it
a general smash ofthe train was the re.
suit. The only persons killed were the
engineer, Wesley Stewart, resident of
Baltimore, and the fireman, Lemuel
Crismau, resident Of Reading. Several
of the passengers were slightly bruised.
A Coroner's jury exempted the Northern
Central Railroad Company from any
blame.

THE PRATT CAsE.-In commenting
upon this case the New York Journal
Of Commerce says: This case will
bring home to mems minds, perhaps
more clearly than ever before, the
anomaly of the military rule still in
force in portions of the South. Texas
is fully as peaceful as many of the
Northern and Western States. If the
troops were withdrawn from her Dor
ders, and the people allowed to resume
full possession of the local government,
We believe that law and justice would
be better enforced there than at present
But it suits the aims of certain Radical
politicians to keep Texas from recon
structiDg herself as long as possible,
and to quarter a horde of military
locusts aud carpet-bag sponges upon
her. The fiction of military necessity
is still invoked to justify martial law.
Grimes Of various sorts, instead of being
called by their legal names, are demon
mated treason. Such is the term APP
piled to the murder alleged to have
been committed by Pratt. 1t is as a
traitor, not as murderer, that the
Federal Government scizes him on the
soil of New York. We say that it is a
burning shame for the Government to
maintain drumhead court-martials, and
the oppressive machinery of war-times,
at q period of profound peace, four
years after the last rebel has laid down
his arms, and when justice could be
had in the usual way, and without re.
sorting to such extraordinary measures

Of Carroll, Washington, Frederick aud
