THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY MEETINGS

Came off on Saturday afternoon last through.
out the county In the First district, the
time-honored and ancient town of Abingdon
the usual place of holding elections, was en-.
tirely ignored, and McComass Institute sub
stitutcd as the gathering place instead 1t
is to be presumed from this fact that the
question of removing the Capital will be
the first issue made in Abingdon district
Possibly, however, the reason of the change
may have been, that the atmosphere of that
town does not agree with the new voters and
their friends. Elsewhere throughout the
county there was large turnout of negroes
and 4 slim ATTENDANCE of whites We are
not able to give the exact figures, except in
this district, where there were 1853 negro and
.fte white ballots cast. Nine whites were
present at the beginning, four of whom being
Ensor men, became disguised and refused TO
participate Three of the remaining whites,
with one negro, cticered the meeting, which
elected Marine ticket, as did all the other
districts of the county.
Taking into consideration the overwhenl-
ing majolities of negroes present at these
meetings, it somewhat strangely happened
that the rule was toplace only two of these
to three whites on the different delegations
to the Congressional Convention. This hap,
pencd, we believe, in nearly all the districts ex-
cept Havre de Grace. Here the first trick was
played upon the new voters, and very sim
pie one it was, and doubtless such as already
makes them ashamed at being so easily gull
ed The nl0duS operdndi was this The tick
cts were printed with spread eagle and
flag and five names, two of them being ne
groes, as delegates, on one side, and on the
back Of the same tickets were the names of
five aohites unobtrusively placed with not
even b Plat1ibus IMAM to attract attention
They were then voted by the "darks" for
what they bore upon their faces; but when
the count came, the names from their backs
were quietly read, and delegation of five
whites declared elected. Whew Here's
richness " as Squeers said. However the
whole affair is over, and the Marine party
triumphant in this county. Ensor's friends
were nowhere.
As to the course of our white fellow citi-
zens who have thought proper to mix them
selves in and take part at these meetings.
and to the credit of the county they were but
tew-we have no comments TO offer We
think the case an exception TO Sancho Pan
zas rule, that "the more you stir it the more
it wilr'--smell bad. Its odor is sufficiently
bad already. And it is all undertaken in a
fruitless cause; for if anything were needed
to close up into solid phalanx the Democratic
ranks in Hartford county. and render them
irresistible at the coming election, the scenes
enacted at the district meetings on Saturday
last will certainly supply that need. We are
bound to win this fall

EXEMPTIONS FROM STAMP DUTY AFTER
OCTOBER 1sT-Acting Commissioner Dou-
glass has addressed letter TO f. M. Patrick
Esq, stamp agent at New York, stating that
the only instruments subject to stamp duty
under schedule B,which are held exempt from
tax after the first of October next by the terms
of the act Of July 18th, 1870, are "promissory
notes for less sum than $780, receipts for
any sum of money or for the payment of
any debt" Section of the act alluded to
also provides that "no stamp shall be required
upon the transfer or assignment of mort
gage where it or the instrument it secures
has been once duly stamped The agent
in his communication to the department
states that many business men seem to
think that the tax is repealed ON all forms,
and the acting commissioner in his reply
authorizes the publication of the decision to
set aside that erroneous impression.--Sun.

GAME IN ABUNDANCE-This week opened
the campaign of the sportsmen against the
squirrels, which are very plentiful, especially
in the woods adjacent cornfields. Indeed
they are so numerous as to actually swarm
in some sections, proving very destructive to
the rpening corn. Gunners are plentiful, too
and the popping of firearms in all directions
is an assurance that all is not "quiet alone
the lines''
Wild pigeons, too, have appeared, but in
no great numbers as yet. This month and
next they arc in season.

BUILDING AssoCIATIoNs-READ THIS
We would caution the various associations
throughout the county to place the proper
stamp on the certificates OF stock, usually
found in the beginning of the small books
containing the accounts of members, consti-
tuition, by laws, &c. Every association that
issues such certificate unstamped is liable to
be proceeded against in tae U. s. Courts, and
already suits are instituted against several in
Baltimore city, for this neglect.

he had entered, but before he reached it Mr..
Fraser dealt him severe blow with his fist
which felled him to hisknees He succeeded
however, in scrambling to the place of exit
whence he leapt to the rear of the premises
and made his escape by o rapid fight. On
examining the outside pair of shoes were
found, which the thief in his haste had not
had time to carry away with him. These
are in possession of the authorities, and it .
