Hon. James G. Clarke.

On Monday, says the Towsontown (Md.)
Union, the Board of Public Works met
in Annapolis and elected Hon. James G.
Clarke of this county, president of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Canal. at salary of S10,-
600 per annum. Mr. Clarke will shortly re-
move to Hagerstown, and enter upon the du>
ties of his new position.
One of the daily papers publishes Mr..
Clark's biography, which we reproduce for
the benefit of our readers:
"Mr Clarke, the President elect of the Ca
nal Company, was born at Unity, Montgomery
county, in 1926, of poor parents, so far as
worldly means are concerned, and received a
limited education. He went ON the canal
when quite boy as driver of canal boat
He remained there four years working on the
canal until he had risen to be owner of boat,
which was sunk by collision. Finding the
canal too slow for his active energy, he APP
piled for and obtained situation as fireman
on the Baltimore and Ohio Road. From
fireman he was soon promoted to be an engi-
neer, then to Assistant Supervisor of Trains
between Piedmont and Baltimore. In 1855,
when the late lamented Colonel j ohm H Done,
Master of Transportation on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, was selected as General SUI
pcrintendent of the Illinois Central at that
time in active process of construction, the only
man he asked to be allowed to take with him
from the Baltimore and Ohio Company was
Mr.. Clarke, who appointed Assistant
Superintendent under Mr.. Done, on the Illi-
nois Central. After Mr.. Done's death, in
1856, Mr.. Clarke succeeded him as General
Superintendent, where his services were so
highly appreciated that he was offered large
inducements to remain, but he and his family,
unwilling to longer remain from Maryland,
returned Mr.. Clarke then engaged in farm
ing, milling and merchandising in Frederick
county, where he owns the farm once owned
by ex. Governor Frank Thomas. In 1860 he
was induced to take charge as General Super
intendent of the Northern Central Railroad,
where he remained until December, 1868,
when he returned to his farm in Frederick
county In April, 1868, he took charge of
the Ashland Iron Works, in Baltimore coun-
ty, at large salary, and in the manufacture
of iron, in which he had no experience what
ever, his success was unparalleled, and he soon
became the owner of an interest of this large
establishment. When Mr.. ". Prescott Smith
resigned the position of Master of Transports
ton of the Baltimore ard Ohio Railroad Com
pany, Mr.. Clarke was offered the position at
an increased salary, and declined. In 1866,
after three years residence in Baltimore
county, he was elected member of the
House of Delegates. In 1867 he was cleo.
ted to the State Senate, of which he is still a
member, his term expiring at the next elec-
ton. A short time since he was elected to
the Presidency of the Western Maryland
Railroad at salary of $4,000, which position
he declined because of his having agreed to
return to his first love, the canal, where we
predict all honors and successful administra-
ton for this self-made man."

pS3- 1t would now seem that the reported
massacre in Roumania has dwindled down to
very insignificant proportions. There has
been a petty quarrel between school boys in
an obscure village, resulting in some broken
window panes, but which the mind of some
uniformed and panic. stricken individual mag
nifed into general slaughter of the whole
Hebrew race. On this small foundation all
the wrath and indignation of the American
people, recently vented, were based. So it
seems there are phantom Ku-Klux in Rou-
mania as we'll as in the South and the
Radicals of Congress are equally ready with
their crocodile tears over the fictitious suffer-
iDgs of either class of victims

STATE Observation-Disclosures
OCRATIG CONVENTION.

The Conservative and Democratic State
Convention, pursuant to appointment Of the
State Executive Committee, met at Charleston,
Kanawha, on the 9Th inst, for the purpose of
nominating candidates for Governor, Treasur-
er, Auditor, Secretary of State, Attorney
General, and Judge of the Supreme Court
of Appeals.
The Convention was very full one and
embraced among its members gentlemen ofthe
best ability in the State.
The body was organized by the appoint
ment of Okey johnson of Parkersburg, Pres
ident, and III. r. Howard of Point Pleasant,
Secretary. The nominations are as follows =
For Goeernor-JOHN J. JACOBS, Of
Hampshire county.
For Treasurer-J. s. BURDETT, of Ka-
nawha county.
For Auditor-E. A. BRANNON, of Marion
county.
Secretary Of tState-JoHN NJ. PHELPS,
of Mason county.
For Attorney Genera1-JOSEPH SPR1GG,
of Hardy county.
For Judge Of Court Of Appeals-C. P. T.
MOORE, of Mason county.
The candidates thus presented are gentle-
men of the highest integrity, have been iden-
tilted, all of them we believe, with the in
terests of the State from its organization to
the present time, and if elected, as we have
every reason to hope they will be, will ad.
%bo oHo Of fha Ctofa IN fha okis.
faction of the people. Before the election in
October next, we expect to have the oppor-
tunity of seeing and hearing many, if not all
of the candidates nominated by the Charleston
convention, and we feel sure, from our knowl-
edge of them, that the closer the contact and
the more intimate the intercourse of these
gentlemen with the people of the State, the
more acceptable they will become, and the
greater and more encouraging their prospects
of success. Meantime it is our duty to put
on our armor for the contest, and enter at once
earnestly into the conflict in which are in
volved principles of the highest concern to
the welfare of the State. Let no effort be
spared to redeem the State, through the cleo
ton of these gentlemen, from the intolerance,
political bigotry, and gross corruption with
which it has been afflicted from its very birth.
We have not been able to procure, in full,
the proceedings of the convention, and cannot,
therefore, lay before our readers to-day the
platform which we understand was adopted
with great unanimity. We hope to do so
next week, with such comments as the adj
mirable matter, which we learn it contains,
may suggest.

RADICAL COUNTY CONVENTION.

1t will be seen by reference to another
column that the Radical County Convention
which met at Shepherdstown on the 4th inst,
for the purpose of selecting delegates to a
State and Congressional Convention, did their
work at the appointed time and dispersed
The convention was well mixed, 'alf and 'alf
as the Englishman says. of drink of which
he is very fond; and the same rule of proper
tions was observed in the delegations chosen
to the nominating convention. But whether
the same arithmetic will be observed when
the selection of candidates comes to be made
remain to be seen. Nous verrons, as old
Father Richie would say

the Confederate soldiers buried at this point,
says the Winchester Times, took place on Sat-

proved that the memories of the past were still

had sealed with their blood their devotion to
