facts and figures, w, pledge our candidates,
both State and county, if elected, to rigid
economy in public expenditures.
Resolred. That if we turn from our Dem
ocratic county Government to our Demo-
cratic State Government we find still
moro appalling state of affairs in waste and
expenditure of the public money, the last
Legislature having voted appropriations
from the treasury of the State amounting
to $4,000 900.
ResoEccd, That the administration of
General Grant in its able management Of
every department of the Government, its
stern enforcement of the laws, its war upon
whisky, tobacco, and other Democratic
''rings'' of corruption, its rigid economy,
by which the public debt is being steadily
reduced, is verifying the promises, and car
rying out the policy of the Republican party
published to the world before the last Pres
idential election, and ON which it staked its
success.
Resolred, That we view with extreme
satisfaction the steady advance throughout
the county, of Republican principles, as in
Dictated in the Onward march of the XIV
Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, and that we hail the adopt
ion of that Article, as the death knell of
that political power which holsters mp the
Emissaries of Slavery and the rebellion IN
Maryland, cramping her enterprise, repell-
ing immigration and crppling her industry.
Mr.. J. Ramsay presented some statistics
to the Convention in relation to the ex-
penses and working of the present school
system, which showed the enormous cost
of the system, which, like all other Demo
cratic institutions, seemed specially de-
signed to spend the peoples money. We
will endeavor to obtain the data compiled
by Mr.. Ramsay, on this subject, and pre-
sent it, together with his remarks, to our
readers at an early day.
The business of the Convention was de-
clared by the President completed, and it

statements that he had been causelessly
beaten, and that the managers and preach
err were arrested, tied and marched into
FedralSburg to answer the charges, the
proof was so clear in their favor that the
magistrate, though of Mr.. Willoughbys
own party, Immediately discharged them.
TALBOT.
Lloyd Lowndes, while preparing for the
approaching Tournament at the new bridge
road met with Il serious accident, few
days ago. 1t seems the knights were rid
ing i'll regular order but as the ground was
narrow there was scarcely room enough for
one to return while another was riding
through. Mr.. Lowndes had just ridden
and was attempting to return when the
bugle sounded for the next knight to ride.
Tilghman Owens whose turn it then was,
rode down at full speed but did not notice
Mr.. Lowndes who was returning till the
horses ran together. Both horses were
thrown down and it was at first feared that
the riders We're killed. Mr.. Owens however
was but little hurt, but Mr.. Lowndes had
both bones of his leg broken between the
ankle and the knee joint.
The oyster business, which is one of the
important sources of wealth in this county,
has commenced this season with a vigor
to an industrious portion of our community.
On Tread Avon, Miles and Choptank rivers
there is already sufficient demand to keep
the oystermen in work, and as the season
advances the demand and the price will
increase.
On the night of 10Th ult. the schooner Glide,
Capt. S. 7. Dies, lying at Black Walnut
cove, Tilghman's Island, was robbed by
four of the crew, who were shipped in Bal
timore, of about 500 worth of clothing
and other articles belonging to the captain
and the boat. They were all negroes
After leaving the boat the negroes crossed
into Queen Anne, and on the way robbed
some field hands of their coats. They
were all arrested at Queenstown on Monday
last and sent to the county goal at Centre
vile, to await trial.
A most disgraceful row occurred at
Royal Oak OH Saturday night the 18th ult.
1t seems to have been brought ON by a
party of men, one of whom threw a brick
into crowd of negroes that had congre-
gated at the store of Mr.. Speakers. The
missile striking one of them in the face,
and intlicting very bad wound, knocking
him down, and from that Il general free
fight took place. A man by the name of
John Shores, was badly beaten about the
head and face, his nose being badly crush
ed, and he lies in very critical position
Others were more or less injured during
the fight One of the prime instigators
of the fight has departed for parts unknown,
where it is hoped he will remain, as his
absence will not detract from peace and
harmony of that village. Whisky was the
origin of the row.
The st. Michaels' Comet complains of
the bad behavior of some of the negroes
of that town on Saturday nights. Cause:
too much Democratic whisky.

The present season is extremely favora-

lands. In this county thousands of loads
of muck for manure should be got out, and
placed in a position where it can be used
when required.
Samuel Smith, residing rear Millington,
put an end to his existence on Monday Goth
ult.. by taking five grains of strychnine,
sufficient to kill three persons. After it
was known he had taken the poison metli-
cal aid was called in, but too late, as he
died in Il few hours after suffering eXcru-
chatting pain. lie gave no reason for com
hitting the rash deed. He was aged about
30, years, unmarried, and resided with a
relative.
