01n our columns Of the 9Th instant las
well - in the various Democratic journals Of
the DISTRICT there appeared an interesting
correspondence between Thomas d. Moore
Esq. of Baltimore county, and Hon. F. Stone.
In this correspondence the latter gentleman,
after announcing hin,selfa q. candidate for re-
nomination, clearly and unequivocally ex-
pressed his views on the fifteenth Amend.
ment. After adverting to the fact that be
had steadily and earnestly opposed this mon.
strous fraud and violation of the rights of the
States, known as the Fifteenth Amendment
Mr.. Stone deliberately expresses his convic-
ton that It is no longer living issue, and
that no further time should be wasted over
ito discussion. On this subject, however,
there ID 10 disgusting the fact that there is a
division Of sentiment in the party to which,
Mr.. Stone belongs. As we before stated, he
hassunequivocally expressed his views in re-
ference to- the policy which should hereafter
govern the party. Other gentlemen, whose
names will doubtless be presented to the Con-
vention, entertain very opposite opinions
Now the opinion of the majority of the party
can be ascertained only through its regularly
organized Conventions and its choice of can
didates. In order, therefore, to expedite the
lAbors Of the Convention, and that there may
be no possible doubt but that the nominee
Do the true exponent Of the views Of the peo-
pie upon the all-importaut subject, we hope
every candidate for the nomination for this
district will at once clearly and unquali6edly
define his position. To know the opinions,
and 70 know them at once, Of those who as
pire TO public position, is the right Of the peo-
ple., Nominating Conventions are but Il q
agents of the people who send them, and it is
not sufficient to inform the agents merely
They ought and do want to know themselves.
Again, If the views Of those who will come
before the Convention, and upon one of whom
Il is likely the choice of the Convention will
fall, be thoroughly known in advance of the
Primary Meetings, it will bring out more
decided expression of opinion from the people
and these meetings, and thus the Convention
will become more reliable and trustworthy
exponent Of public sentiment. We, therefore
Say to each candidate, come at once to the
point, and show your hands clearly and dis.

The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad.
1t is satisfactory to note from time to time,
says the Washington Star, the progress Of the
work on the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
showing that Gov. Bowie and the managers
of the road mean to carry out their promise
that the iron horse shall be running over it by
the first Of April next.
The grading has now been finished on the
main line of the road from the Patapsco to
below Marlboro, with tie exception of one
section, which will be completed next week.
Ties are being delivered along the line, and it
is probable that considerable portion of the
rail will be laid this fall and if the work with
in this District and Baltimore county is push
ed with the same activity, there is no good
reason why the cars should not be running
even earlier than April.
This road will strike the Patapsco about
seven miles below Elkridge Landing, and take
nearly a straight course to the Little Patux-
|ent, at about the mouth Of Rogue Harbor
Branch, crossing the Annapolis and Elkridse
Railroad near Watts. The crossing of the
Big Patuxent will be made about quarter
Of a mile below Lemons Bridge, from whence
the track will take almost a straight line to
Huntington, the point of junction with the
Washington Branch. The main line thence
follows down Collington Branch, crossing the
West Branch of the Patuxent near it's mouth,
and so on to the Marlboro Depot, on the lands
of Clement Hill.
About seven miles below Marlboro the
road strikes the table land, over which there
is comparatively little work to be done, the
natural grade being very nearly the grade OF
the road. The road thence passes about mid
way between Brandywine and T. B., and en-
tiers Charles county. In this county two
routes have been surveyed, one having its
terminus opposite Aqua Creek and the other
about the mouth of Pope's Creek. One oil
these routes will be settled upon next week
az the contractors, who have finished their
work above, are DESTROYS of putting in for this
LOB. 1
The grading upon the Baltimore and Poto-
mac Road is not heavy, but a considerable
number of culverts will be required, and sew
eral bridges, the most important of which
will be those over the Great and Little Pa
tuxent, 200 and $50 feet in length.

Mr.. EDW. BRAwNER
Dear Sir We were informed to-day of the
reason why you do not send your melons to
our wharf this season. We are sorry that such
thing should occur, but, in justice to our
selves, we must tell you the truth about the
thing and then you can do as you think best
The reason is: your boats were charged wharf
age last season by the Commission Merchant,
which charge was made and collected las we
are informed by him) without our knowledge
We had man on the wharf, and our orders to
him were distinctly not to charge the boats
wharfage, but to collect the wharfage from the
melons-which he did, and no more. =
And, as we have just said, any charges
made against you concerning wharfage, &C.,
was without our orders and from which we re-
ceived no benefit.
Very truly, yours,

WASHINGTON, D. c., dug. 10, 1870.
To Farmers and Melon Growers of Charles
Il. County, Maryland.
A report has been circulated through this
county, concerning letter received by EDw' D
BRAwNER, Esq, and signed by US, stating that
if wharfage had been charged for the vessels
that run his melons last season it was without
our knowledge and we had received no benefit
from it. That letter was written too hasty,
and since the mailing Of it the true state of the
case has been found. 1t seems that our agent
did collect wharfage from the boats and melons
too; the Captains paying the money to Mr..
BRAwNER's agents (Messrs. R. A. GOLDEN
Bros, and our agent collecting from them
Our agent was employed by US last season on
shares he receiving one-half of all he collected;
hence the reason Of the boats being charged
wharfage And thus it will be seen that we
received one-half of the benefits without our
knowledge at the time-he saying nothing to
US when we settled. We take this method OF
informing the public in general of the contents
of that letter, as l fear we have innocently
wronged innocent men, under misapprehen-
sion Of facts, and cheerfully recommend them,
(Messrs. R. A. GOLDEN & Bro, to all farmers

are well calculated for the business

AS we are the Commission Merchants refer
red to above, it is needless to say we were ex-
ter. We Immediately waited upon Mr.. RILEY,
showed him the letter and asked justice of him.
We will do him the credit to say, he freely con-
fessed the injustice of it and offered any repair
alton in his power to remove the impression it
was calculated to make to our injury. As the
result of our interview he wrote out and gave
us letter fully admitting the wrong he had
done US, and of which the following is copy:

vaestabls Garden.

Tomatoes, egg plants, peppers,
and similar plants, every gardener
tries 70 get as forward as possible.
Sonth of Philadelphia they must be
ant unprotected by the middle of the
menth. Here we seldom risk them
before May. The same may be
said of sugar corn, dwarf, and Lima
beans, Okra, squash, cucumber, and
melons. No sstimes can, be set for
sowing these, except not to sow.ill
the ground has become, warm A
few warm days often makes us 'feel
like gardening" but unless the
ground is warmed, the seeds will be
very likely to rot. Here we sow
about the first week in May. Onions
for seed should be sown in rich soil,
but very thickly, so as not to become
larger than marbles. Very far north,
where they perfect in one year, this
advice, of course, is not intended.
A crop of carrots should be soWn
the end of April. In moist seasons
the earlier crops are liable to run to
seed.
Early York Cabbage sown last
month, or kept over the winter, must
now be planted out, where there is
demand for summer greens, and to
supply this want, another crop Of
spinach may yet be sown.
Lettuce for a second crop of salad,
should be sown about the end of the
month. The Drum-hea Cabbage
is usually sown for q summer crop,
but the old kinds of Cos Lettuce
would, no doubt, be found very valu-
able in rich soils.
Where Brussels Sprouts, Cape
Broccoli, and Autumn Caulifower
are desirable, now is the time to
SOW. They require the same treat
ment as the general cabbage crop.
Bean poles may be planted prep
aratory to sowing the Lima bean in
May. Where bean poles are scarce,
two or three hoop poles, set into the
ground one foot from each other,
and tied together at the top, make as
good pole, and perhaps better.
Dwarf beans should have very
warm and deep soil-sow them only
two inches apart. The Valentine is
vet the best early, takeit all in all.
Celery, with most families, is an
important crop, and should be sown
about this period. A very rich,
moist spot, that will be shaded from
the midday April sun, should be
chosen,-or a box in a frame, by
those who have the conveniences.
1t is a good plan to cut all the AS
paragus as soon as they appear. A
few sprouts should always be left to
grow from each, TO strengthen the
plants.
Much attention has been given Of
late to varieties of Asparagus. It
hss been argued that this vegetable
win not come true from seed; but like
Rhubsrb, they can be propagated
true only by division of the roots.
There is no reason why they may
not do SIS well from seed as peas or
beans. We hope attention will be
given to this.-Gdrdeaer's Monthly.

E The process of canning
eggs in their own shells was recently
explained at meeting of the New
York Farmers Club. When two or
three dozen eggs are obtained from
the nests, place them in dish and
pour scalding water over them, and
Immediately turn it off. This pro-
cess is repeated three times, by which
means the albumen is fixed or coag
ulsted, the pores of the shell closed,
and the egg, as it were, canned in
its own covering. The eggs thus
prepared are then packed in salt, with
the apex downward, and they are
said to keep perfectly fresh for many
months.

E The following remedy for
corns is suggested: Into one
ounce phial ask druggist to put two
drachms of muriatic acid, and six
drachms of rose water. With this
mixture wet the corn night and
morning for three days. Soak the
feet every evening in warm water
without soap. Pat third of the
acid into the water, and with little
picking, the corn will be dissolved.
