resolutions offered and no committee appointed
to offer them and the candidates, in their briet
speeches accepting their nominations, made no
alluslon to political questions The idea of a
political assemblage making no reference to
politics is rather an anomaly The party has
started on its campaign without designating
the route it is to travel. The New Depar-
ture . has made fork in the road, and the
caravan is in doubt as to which one to take,
fearing that, which ever way they go they will
be sorry they didn't go the other way before
they shall have reached their journeys end.
They feel pretty sure they have a strong team,
but still they hesitate to depart-nOt liking the
new, yet they fear to travel the old road The
leaders see that the party is in q transition
state, so they compromised the matter by
splitting the difference, and they cOntrived to
split it by doing without platform Of any sort.
This ought to be satisfactory to all the party,
for it leaves the Bourbons and the progressives
each to take their own course This is as much
as could be expected at their first meeting after
the New Departure was put upon them. Not
withstanding all their " time-honored demo
cratic principles" against the BLASTED nigger,'
they see that they will have to take him along
sooner or later-in 1872 at the latest. The
Delaware Democracy has the same spectrum

To Messrs. Richard Mitchell and Adams
Mahood,

Gentlemen We have been informed that
you have threatened to prosecute us to the full
extent Of the law for making and selling or
any person for buying or using our Stave peach
baskets, on which you claim Letters Patent.
Your advertisement in the SMYRNA TIMES,
May 3lst, is also intended to prevent the sale
of our Stave baskets by threatening any person
who may buy them with legal prosecution.
The peach growers Of this Peninsula have
too long used the stave peach baskets, and
during the last two years been forced to pay
entirely too high prices for them to be easily
frightened by such expedients as you seem to
think will prevent the further use of them un-
less bought of you, at such prices as you may
charge them, now that we are making a much
better basket, and selling them at lower prices
than they have been sold heretofore.
We desire, however, to inform you that we
are now making our stave peach baskets and
selling them in large numbers to peach grow
erS' who express themselves well pleased with
thGm' Our orders are daily increasing
II you desire to test the legality Of your
Letters Patent as claimed on our stavc basket,
you now have the opportunity. We will also
FURNISH yon with the names of one or more re.
SponSlbe persons who have bought our baskets,
against whom, we are authorized to state, YOU
can also institute suit.
Very truly, your ob't servants.

The Methodist Sunday School of Middle
town held picnic last week, going to the
woods in handsomely decorated teams, headed
by brass band, making procession of about
three-quarters of a mile in length, presenting
one OF the grandest pageants that ever passed
through the streets Of that town.
There seems to be some dissatisfaction con-
cernlng the management of the junction d
Break water railroad The Georgetown paper
intimates that President Gibbons is running it
to destruction, while the Milford paper says
the road is better managed, better paying and
more self relying than ever before. How doc
tors differ.
The Gazette publishes the name of " Miss
Esther E. Jerman, of Smyrna" as one of the
recent graduates Of Pennington Seminary.
Our neighbOr must have been examining an
old catalogue. Miss j., now Mrs. Rev. S. l..
Baldwin, wife Of the wellknown missionary, is
an alumnus of that institution, cfseveral years
standing.
Mr.. Jos. Parry, of the firm of Murphy &
Parry, of the Alley Mills" near this town,
died in Philadelphia last Saturday whilst on
his way home from Saratoga, whence he had
been to benefit his health. He enjoyed large
reputation as a miller and was highly esteemed
as a citizen. He was member Of the Masonic
fraternity and the lodge OF this town as well as
lodges from Phia., aud elsewhere gave him

of Crisfeld in consequence Of the peculiar title
under which the land or water owners there
hold their property. The citizens Of that en-
terprising town are driving piles out in | feet
water, in the Cove, some distance from the
Railroad, and connected with tho main land
only by bridges. Some skeptical people doubt
the right of any one to take up navigable
water. The Cove is as much the high seas as
is the Chesapeake Bay. At all events such is
the reasoning Of some persons, and thew say
that the Act of 1852 prohibits the State from
granting patent to cover navigable water,
aud that the Court of Appeals has said that
this law means any land on navigable water
that is covered by the high tide. In the mean
time rumOrS says there is a claimant looming
up, who says he has patent that covers the
whole town.
Outrageous assault On Thursday week,
a woman named Watson, living near Cecil
ton, was attacked on her way home y scoun-
dre named Andrews, who had been lying in
ambush. Whether Andrews succeeded in
all the tiendshness of his effort is not known, as
the lady was soon rendered in>ensible by his
kicks and blows. An hour or two later, she
was found lying helpless where he had left her.
She was taken home, where she has since been
in critical condition. What adds to the
outrage is the fact that Mrs A. was we'll ad-
vanced in maternity. She gave description
Of her ravsher, and on last Sunday he was
recognized and captured, after desperate re-
slstance, by some OF the citizens of Cecilton
He was taken to the bedside of his victim,
and she instantly Identified him as the culprit.
He now lies in jail awaiting trial, in which
it is to be hoped justice will be severely dealt.
1t is said that the same rufhan attempted a
similar assault on a young lady of Chesapeake

The Maryland Democracy, in addition to its
troubles over the New Departure" by which
its State Convention has had to show the

sensions, five may judge from the following
extract, which we clip from the last issue of
the Easton .Journal:
Some people have an idea that the differences
in the Democratic party in Talbot are owing
to there being two Democratic papers here.
This is an error-there are three in Wicomico,
and no split in the party There is but one in
Queen Anne or in Cecil, and the party in
those counties are as badly divided as We are
here The trouble is that the party has the
"r1ag" -c0rn,, and until that is cured there is
likely to be splits and differences
