':'IlC Next Governor.
HON. WIN. IINKNEY WHITE.

HON. WM IINKNEY WHY7,E.
MIR. EDITOR The communication
in your last paper over the signature
of Cato deserves the serious attcn-
ton of your leaders. The general
views of the situate as expressed by
"Cato' are undoubtedly correct. In
view of the interests at stake, our
people should take more interest in
their primary meetings than they
usually do; for it is only by atten-
dance at those meetings that they can
exert their proper influence, and secure
proper representation in the nomina-
ting conventions.
1t is also undoubtedly true that the
Governor of our State should be a gen
tleman, a scholar and a statesman. -
One who understands the wants of the
people, and who is altogether and en-
tirely free from any such complication
or connection with any of the great
corporations, or any other peculiar
interest as might even in the slightest
degree impair or cripple hiausefulness,
or bias his official action in any man
ner detrimental to the great interests
of the whole State.
Now, Alr. Editor, how naturally
and involuntarily does the mind of
any man, actuated by such desires and
honestly looking for such a candidate,
turn to the candidate of the people,
the Hon. VIM. PINKNEy'. WHITE -
His May friends throughout the State
know him to be a thoroughly accom-
plishel, disnihcd and elegant gentle
man; his brethren of the Bar conccde
his abilities and claims az one of the
leading members of the Maryland Bar,
and his record in the United States
Senate during his short term of ser
vice there has firmly established hi:
reputation as q Statesman. lie Is also
well known to be a thorough going
Democrat of the "old school, . who has
never taltcrel in the hour of trial
Mr.. Whytc is also well known to be
a lire man; one who takes a lively
interest IN every enterprise which
tends to develop the business and
resources OF ms State while no man
IN the State Is 1reer ana clearer OF any
partial or lartlzan connection with

TO be born with the sprir s, to die with the

To sip the fresh sweets of young flowers
ere they close,
To float on the wings ofthc zephyr at even,
And battle in the rich flood Of glory from

To shake from the wing the light spanglcs

And its course to the deep vaults Of azure

Passing oil from the bosom of earth like a

Such the magical life of the young butter
fly.

But rr>,lcSs-lns"tcd will bliss oi'thc earth.

of his patch as gift to the king-a Gre
cmony which excited the smiles of the
courtiers-received from his Maiestys lips,
addressed to these rebuked cities, the fol-
lowing fine compliment: This man, who
has developed small turnip into large
one, would, if he had an equal opportunity
dcvelopa small city into a great one" We
then munched in meditation on this turnip
of suggestion, and hoped that, according to
this law of development, the time would
come when the Farmer of Chappaqua
would be the Governor of New York, or
President of the United States.
cY- The Concord On. H) Republican
Statesman dominates Horace Greeley for
the Presidency, and says one of his best
qualifications would be that he can write
all his own messages, and dispatches in
pure, concentrated English
bW" The Political campaign in Ohio
under the leadership of the Democrat
cy opens brisk. The Dayton Herald,
Vallandingham's organ, says that
under the New Departure" Platform,
adopted by the Democratic State Con-
vention at Columbus, there is a good
prospect of carrying the State in o.
tober. By ignoring "obsolete issues
and standing squarely before the coun-
try on a sound constitutional basis, the
Democracy, which has been under the
ban for the last II years, ever since
the Repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise, has chance to recover it's lost
prestige. From all parts of the State,
says the HeroM, comes the cheering
news that the Platform is accepted in
good faith, and with the gallant Gen.
GEORGE W. McCooK, for our standard
bearer, a Union Hero bold, brave and
true, Ohio will be redeemed We
shall certainly carry Jefferson, Cler-
mont, Hamilton and Brown counties
by heavy maiorities. Judge Rufus p.
Rannev, an old and Observing states
man, writing from the Reserve, says our
gains this fall will be immense. We
have not an earthly doubt but that
Gen. McCook will be triumphantlv
elected over old Ben. Wade, or any
other Republican leader the Santa
Domingo AnneXionlsts may select
Mr.. Nallan1igham will Immediately
take the stump and address his fellow
citizens all over the State in support
of the Democratic State ticket He
does not fear the result.

Horace Greeley.

Since Mr.. Greeley has published his
Book What Know About Farming,
and the people Of Texas and Kansas
have nominated him for the Presi-
dency, his name has appeared oftener
in American newspapers than that of
any other man, and his biographcr,
James Parton, cites this as a proof of
his wide-inAuence, great popularity
and standing in the country. Mr..
Greeley has often been the subject Of
r..dicule he is not thin skinned and
learnt to bear with composure what
tie papers say about him. Like Cali
|: 20, Columbus and DR.. Franklin he
can afford to bide his time. His &C.
centricities, his old white hat, his
white coat and red top boots, with his
pantalo6ns stuck inside, are subjects
for his opponents and critics to dwell
upon. Now that he aspires to edu-
cate the people on the subject Of farm
ing-how to raise turnips and pota-
toes, chickens and young ducks, his
theories are getting wonderful over
houling. But Mr. Greeley is an alma
nae maker, is a great sleeper, and a
great writer, and can bear it all. He
is now candidate for the Presidency,
and won't decline; and as he is to adj
dress the farmers and mechanics and
manufacturers of Frederick county at
the Cattle Show next October, on the
Fair Grounds, we give some extracts
to show what the papers say about
him.
Mr.. Greeley, on his farm in Westminster
county. near the City of New York, keeps
q running account with his hens, double
entry. When hen lays an egg she runs
around the bases, and when she strikes the
home base, where the hookkccpcr is locat-
ed, she sings out, tally one, or tally two,
as the case may be. because some of them
arc reporters. and the book keeper gives
her credit, and charges her for her meals
In this way Horace can tell what hens are
Sinking, and how much he makes on each
hen. lie says his experience is that zoos
tiers are a glaring fraud, putting on style
around, and never laying an egg once in
two weeks.
Grant gave his buffalo bulls away righ,
oF. He SAYS il was all owing to Greeley,
who insisted upon it that they must he UNI
der-draincd, and the durn things got thci,
humps up about it,
Some one wrote Horace Greeley inq!ir.
ing if guano was good to put on potatoes.
He said it might do for those whose tastes
had become vitatcd with tobacco and rum,
but hcprctcrred gravy or butter
The Omaha Tribune calls loudly upon
the thirty-tivc thousand old maids in New
England to consult Horace Greeley, and
then go West and buy farms.
The first child born in Greeley, Colora-
do, has been christened "I1oracc Greeley"
and presented copy Of What | Know
About Farming
An Elmira farmer wrote Mr.. Greeley for
his experience in raising geese for market.
horace said there WAS no trouble at all
about it, if the goslings were not wcancd
TOO Young He SAYS they should be allow
cd to run with the old COW and suck until
their horns grow an inch or two, when they
will be hardy enough topack and salt down

Depth of Two Feet,
At a cost of not more than two dollars per

This work is admiringly dedicated by
TIE AUTHOR.
The above inscription concerning plow-
ing was in plain type, but there was a
dedication which was in Mr.. Grcclcy's hand
writing. and which went SO far beyond
blowing as to be almost narrowing. We
passed the book round our Office but there
was nobody who could make out the hero
glyphics At first we thought the charac-
tiers compose a miniature drawing Of Mr..
Greeley's worm -tencrs at Chappaqua Then
we flncicd the writing might be a confused
report of the New Hampshire election
But at last, on sending the volume up
stairs into our composing room, with the
offer Of trilIing compensation TO any one
of our compositors who would put that
piece Of copy in correct shape in nonpa-
rcil type, there came back to us, after thir-
teen hours Of anxious expectation, the fol-
lowing neat inscription. which we may call
a flower, or rather 4 garden vegetable, of
rhetoric:

Richard B. Osborne, Esq, the able
Engincer-in-chicf of the Western
Maryland Railroad, has made a Re
port on the condition Of the road
showing its capacity when completed
for the transhipment Of coal from
Williamsport, proving conclnslvcly
that when this takes place that it will
become a paying Institution. He has
also given a general description Of the
machinery by which coal is to be tran
shipped from the canal boats to the
cars. His investigations have been
made with care, and show that the
freight tonnage from Williamsport to
Baltimore on coal alone will amount
to 100000 per annum, with an aug
menting volume each recurring year
He estimates the cost Of delivering a

Letter. from the People.

EDITOR START desire to be informed
through the columns OF your valuable sheet ii It
l. permitted by the law OF this city for persons
giving receptions, to bald from the door of a
residence TO the eurbstone, an arch or
awning, thereby forcing pedestrians into the
gutter. An example Of this can be seen this
evening on III street, between 18th and 18th
streets. l happened TO pass that way, and
witnessed, among others, some ladies who
we're forced to 20 into the street, and one OF
them hlled her shoe with the slush accumulated
rom the iate snow. L consider that this would
not be permitted from a citizen who did not
have money and instead OF having policeman
dancing attendance 10 protect their midn ght
spree, there would be whole force sent to take
down the encumbrance of any humble citizen
who would attempt it. 1t Is an outrage and
ought to be- in my opinion, stopped. Is it, or Il
il not illegal? Yours, sc.

ENTERPRISE MEETS REWARD. We learn
with peculiar qualification that our enterprising
friend Mr.. Ben. NJ. Plumb has Just concluded
with builders Of our city the sale of hfty-eight
thousand dollars worth OF building lots at H unit
ington and the Highlands, which will be rapidly
improved at both places by the building of a
large number Of fine country villas and resi-
dences. This is large transaction and we
understand that first class improved city prop
erty wac taken in exchange for these lots We
have often referred to these enterprises and not
withsfandlng the previous success in sales of
lott this alone Is sufficient to guarantees that
the prospects are as they have been represented
but 1t puts beyond any reasonable doubt or pos
sibility the certainty of these suburban places
being built up at very early day and the large
increase Of the value OF the building lots at both
points.
