the interests Of the democratic masses" II
Tammauy knew herself, and she generally
does, she knew exactly what she was about
when she withdrew the name of her able and
distinguished Governor from the Presidential
contest in 1872, and expressed her preference
for Western man as the candidate. Tam
many meant no trick or deception, and the
efforts Of the Radicals will have no effect, as
we don't divide worth a darn. On this sub
ject, which the Democratic press are noticing
the Mobile Register says: "But, while Tam
many is ambitious, Tammany is master of a
very long and clear head, which will not per-
NIT it to let fall its milk-pail while dreaming
dreams and building 'Chateaux en- Espagne.
Il isn't such a fool as to leopard Democratic
success for the honor q nominating its candi'
date" This is the general estimate of Tam
many shrewdness and ability, which is &C
knowledged by the Radicals, and yet, for a
purpose, they insult their intelligence by such
an absurd charge as above stated. 'Tbe wish
is father to the thought" but Tammapy don
see it as our Radical friends desire

Poisonous Medicines.

The theory that the virus of disease can be
safely counteracted by doses Of poison, is false
and dangerous. Within the last twenty-five
years, not less than a score of virulent poisons
have been added to the repository of the medi-
cal profession. They are given in small doses,
otherwise they would destroy life Immediately;
but even in minute quantities, they produce,
ultimately, very disastrous effects. 1t is UNI
wise and unphilosophical to employ, as reme-
dies, powerful and insidious drugs, which, in
subjOgating one disease, SOW the seeds of anoth-
er stlll more unmanageable. None Of these
terrible indictments operates with as much dl-
rectness and certainty upon the causes OF dis
ease as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, tonic and
corrective, ,oithot single deleterious ingredi-
ent in its composition. Arsenic and quinia are
given for intermittents; bromide of potassium
for nervous disorders; strychnine and prussic
acid for general debility; mercury, in various
forms, for liver complaint; preparations OF
chloroform and opium for sleeplessness; and
yet these deadly drugs do not compare, as spe-
cifics for the diseases above enumerated, with
that wholesome vegetable invigorant and alter
alive, while they all SO pernicious that 1t is
astonishing any physician should take the re-
sponsibility of prescribing them. Let invalids
for their own sakes try the Bitters before they
resort to the poisons. The relief they will ex-
perience from a course of the harmless specific
will render recourse to the unsafe prepare
tons referred to quite unnecessary.

Mr.. BIS fishery Mr. B. catching from go, 900
to 10 900 herring at haul. Mr. A sends in
his team, backs it up to the net, or boat, and
5000 herring are dipped, by nets; into his
Cart, with9ut.one cent of cost to Mr.. B. except
for paper enough to make out bill of $50
or $40 and receipt for the same The bal
ance Of the haul is scowed out to a schooner
in waiting, to run them to market at con-
siderable expense for freight A commits
sion merchant then takes charge, and they are
sold to capitalists, from Maine to Texas. at
So to So per thousand Out of the sales all
the attending expenses have to be deducted.
Why is it that our people submit to such
glaring imposition
Our Legislature meets again ere another
season for fishing. No doubt we shall have
our county flooded with petitions again to
protect the fishing interest. If so, think
said petitions should be transferred to New
York, Boston, and perhaps to Europe, for
signatures, as they are the only parties bene-
fitted by the increased catch. Aud my idea
is, that our interest, from present experience,
is to get law enacted to invite and allow ci-
tizens from Massachusetts free access to our
river, from whom | am sure the native citi-
zens of the county will get fish on fairer terms
than at present.
Why Garnet our fishermen let the citizens
have fish at the shores FIR the nett amount of
sales made in the market, and let the returns
of said account of sales be the guide? Surely
it will only be putting our people upon equal
terms with the capitalists. hope, Mr.. Ed-
tor, you will not let the subject rest until the
evil complained of shall be remedied

Maryland Life Insurance Company.


The following remarks are from the St.
Mary's Beacon
We take pleasure in calling the attention
of our readers to the annual statement of the
Maryland Life Insurance Company, which is
now being published in the daily papers of
Baltimore city. The substantial condition Of
affairs therein shown is a subject for congra-
tulaton to it's officers and policy holders, and
10 fact to the community at large, as the ex-
istence of an institution of this nature in our
State is matter Of public interest. This
company is, we are informed, the only one
doing business in the State which has paid
up guarantee capital of 500, 900 deposited
in the State Treasury. The position which
the company bias attained indicates that it has
secured good share of the public confidence
and patronage, to which. indeed, its past re-
cord and the well-known character of the
gentlemen connected with its directory and
management render it justly entitled. We
cordially wish for it continuance of the
prosperity which it has hitherto enjoyed.
An agent of this company will visit Port
Tobacco during the May term Of our Circuit
Court, aud we bespeak for him and the ex
cel!ent home company he represents the at
tention and patronage of such of our readers
as may contemplate investments in Life m
Surance.

Fish.

We copy the following from the "local"
columns of the Alexandria Gazette of Satur-
day, May 9Th:
The fishing season. now rapidly drawing to
a close, is said to have been one of the most
successful for a number of years. The aver
age Of catch has been high at most Of the
the shores 6shed, and the fish generally have
been of good quality. From the overstock of
herfings they have been at times very cheap,
selling occasionally as low as two dollars per
thousand. Shad on the contrary have kept
at good figures, although the supply seems to
have been tolerable. The "gllers" are doing
well, it is stated, and they use the abundant
run of fish this season as a commentary on
the charge that their nets break up and drive
back the fish. Owing to the improved facili-
ties for transportation over former years, the
supply of fish to the interior is greatly in
creased, and the risk of their reaching their
destination proportionably diminished; the
same cause operates to prevent the accumu-
ation of fish at this point, which in days
gone by was often cause of serious loss.

From France.

The capture of Fort D'Issy by the Versal-
lists, on Tuesday last, completes the invest
ment from that point on the south to Gene
villiers on the north, forming semi-circle
west of Paris. The few other forts in the
hands Of the Communists are not considered
vital points in case of general movement on
Paris, the principal eastern forts being in the
possession of the Germans: A general as
s,ult, it is stated, is now imminent.
A later dispatch states the Communists are
discouraged by their reverses, and Rossel asks
to be relieved from the military command,
and accuses the troops of cowardice. An
other dispatch states that General Rossel's
letter to the Commune resigning his position
says that lie charges the Commune with be-
ing incapable of discharging the duties per-
tanning to it.

A.. Ku.Klux in a Nutshell.

The New York Sun, Republican journal
says:
We are informed by the Tribune of Mon
day that "the first arrest under the new en-
forcement law was made in North Carolina
an Friday last. The charge is that of assault
ing and maltreating negroes. the guilty per-
sons being three young men known as disre-
putable characters" OF course these three
young scamps ought to be punished but pray
what have Congress and Gen. Grant got to do
with the arrest of disreputable characters ir
North Carolina? The only new rights con-
ceded to negroes, and the only new authority
Conferred for their enforcement, are contained
in the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments. The first aboIishes slavery
and the last gives suffrage to negroes. But
this assault upon the North Carolina negroes
had nothing to do with reducing them to
slavery, nor depriving them of the right to
vote, and therefore it does not come under
either Of those two amendments. The Four
teenth Amendment, on which the Force bill
is based. simply declares that no State shall
make or enforce any law depriving negroes ut
the rights of citizenship or of life, liberty and
property, without due process of law, or de-
nyingz to any citizen the equal protection of
the laws. Now does anybody pretend that
these three North Carolina rascals assaulted
and matreated those negroes in pursuance of
any law of North Carolina, or under color OF
any denial by that State to those Degroes OF
the protection of its laws7 Certainly not !
but, on the contrary, is it not notorious that
this assaulting and maltreating was done in
direct violation Of the laws of North Carolina,
and in defiance Of IFS authority? This icing
so, the Fourteenth Amendment no more covers
the case than do the Thirteenth and Fifteenth
Is it not high time that Congress and the
President slapped overstrainipg those amend-
ments in this way, and ceased to try expert
ments upon them which inAame needless hos
tility against them, putting their permanent
existence in peril?
Except for this serious aspect of the matter,
Gen. Grants interference 10 this small scrim-
mage between few little negroes and three
white loafers would excite only ridicue and
contempt. If he regards it as his business
and finds it to his taste to engage in the oc-
|cupation of arresting disreputable characters
who insult and assault people, let him take
up his residence in New York, or Phlade-
phia, or Chicago, and enter the police force,
and he will find free scope for bis informed
ding propensities. But let us have done with
thrusting the Constitution of the United States
into these contemplate village scuffles.
