1t is prejudice which has nothing
''social" about it,; nor does the fact
that a white man and colored man

for the effect Of ''levying penalties

we have to say that according to
this line of argument, enactments

Homicide in Baltimore County.

A most melancholy homicide occurred
in Baltimore county, near Meredith's Ford,
on Tuesday of this week. Mr.. John N.
Fitzsimmons and Mr.. Walter Bosley, both
gentlemen of respectability, who were
neighbors to each other, quarrelled about
the location of line fence. A surveyor
was employed to determine the true line,
and while he was at work an alteration
occurred between the parties which result
ted in the mortal wounding of Mr.. Bos-
ley. It seems that Mr.. Fitzsimmons be-
gan the attack by advancing towards Mr..
Bosley with stone in his hand, which
he threatened to throw. Mr.. Bosley drew
a revolver and fired two shots, one taking
effect in the shoulder of his assailant and
the other grazing his side. Fitzsimmons
then drew knife and, rushing upon Bos-
ley, stabbed him in the abdomen, making
a cash from which the intestines protrud-
ed The wound was sewed up before the
unfortunate man was taken from the spot,
but his physicians say that he cannot sur
vive. Fitzsimmons has been arrested and
committed to Jail.

The Mask on.

Under this caption, Forney's Press, the
leading Republican organ published in
Philadelphia, said on the 4th instant, in
reference to the fraud practiced in Penn
sylvania:
"When so large majority was declared
for the Republican State ticket on the 9th
of October, we stated that we did not re-
gard the result as fraudulent. Our judg-
ment rested ON the belief that General
Grants prestige and the Generalization
of the Democracy in consequence of the
surrender at Baltimore, had done the work
but every hours subsequent experience has
proved a system of frauds unparalleled in
the records of elections in this country. The
last evidence is that revealed in the Court
of Chmmon Pleas on Saturday last, report
ed at length in our local department. II
does not depend on newspaper surmises
but is the result of an examination made
on the authority of Judge Pierce, of the
same Court, by member of the Municipal
Reform Association"
Rev. John Chambers, of Philadelphia
than whom no man stands higher for in
tegrity and purity of moral character, in a
letter to Chef Justice James Thompson,
Cwho was defeated at the October election),
speaking of frauds in Philadelphia, says
sMy comfort is, and I think it ought to
be yours, that honor, eminent fitness and
noble manhood have been set aside by one
of the most hell-born combinations that
ever disgraced our once glorious old Com
mon wealth"

The Warning has been Needed.

Since the exposure of the attempts made by
certain INSCRIPTIONS local dealers, to palm of
their coarse astringents, made from cheap and
impure matrials, in the place of the great ma
tional tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, pub
lie opinion has set strongly against these en-
prizes and their preparations. Their occupa-
ton is gone, or soon will be. When light is let
into deception it soon willis down. Persons who
trife with their own health, by using unknown
preparations, with no guarantee to sustain
them, when an established specific, proven by
twenty years experience to be exactly what it is
claimed to be, is within their reach are sure to
repent their temerity. Many have done so in
this instance, but it is hoped that the the truth
plainly spoken has arrested the evil. In the de-
mand for the leading protective and restorative
medicine of America was never so great as it has
been this season. From the fever and ague dis
tricts of the west, southwest, and south, it is
literally overwhelming, and it may be said of
the advices from all parts of the country of the
cures it is effecting in dyspepsia, bilious COM
plants, and chronic constipation, that "their
names is legion" Every where the sick and
feeble seem to have realized the Importance of
''holding fast that which is good, " and ofavodi-
ing what is spurious and dangerous.
The numerous 'tBitters,' under various
names, which mercenary dealers endeavor to
substitute for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters should
be avoided, for their own sakes, by the sick and
the public at large. Hostetter' Bitters are pro-
durable in bottles only, and never sold in bulk.

gentlemen, the majority of whom wore
glad and smiling faces. The newly form

gentlemen who are receiving instructions
from Prof Gray, at Cox's Station, were
also present and performed several pieces

The November Term commenced on
Monday last-His Honor Judge Ford, on

and witnesses present. Judge Ford de-
livered the usual charge to the Grand Ju-
ry. The dockets were then called, but
up to IL o'clock yesterday no case of I'M
portance had been tried. We are happy
to state that full Bench was resent yes
terday. His Honor, Chief Judge Brent
arrived in town of Tuesday and His Honor

are several cases on the criminal docket
for rioting and other minor grades of of

Court, has been very small up to the pres

wThe following passage occures in
an address just issued to the people of O.
hio by the Democrats and Liberal Repub-
icans: eCondemn as strongly as you will
base men who sold their votes, but be
charitable to your old friends, who, under
circumstances of difficulty and embarrass-
ment, differed from you in opinion. In
stead of repelling, strive to win them back
Free, Independent thought is of the very
essence of Democracy and true Republi,
canism. It created the Democratic party
In the Beginning. It has maintained il
ever since. It gave rise to the Liberal Re
publican element of to-day, and to it we
must look for accessions in the future"
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1872-11-22
Political Prospects and Probabilities.

We desire to state some reasons for our
opinion that the chances for revival OF
Democratic principles and the victorious
re-establishment of the Democratic party
have not been so promising at any time
within the last fifteen years as they are at
present.
In the first place, the Republican party
in spite of its recent facticious success, has
lost its vitality and its principle of cohe-
sion. 1t has outliyed the issues on which
it was founded, and must go to inevitable
decay as soon as other questions that in
terest the public mind shall come into the
foreground. The Republican party has
represented the negro cycle in our politics
cycle that necessarily ends with the com
civil and political equality of the freed
men, and the intrenchment of their rights
behind no longer disputed constitutional
guarantees. The issues which preceded
led to and grew out of the war, are settled
by universal public consent. They have
passed out of politics into history. The
Republican party went into court as plain
tiff, and had its controversies presented
argued and finally decided with full sub
mission to the judgment on the part of the
defendant. 1t has no longer any standing
in court except in new suit, and against
the Democratic party it has no new suit to
bring. 1t has had its day, accomplished
all its objects, and, having no longer any
principle of life,. it must 60 into the sere
and yellow leaf
To be sure, there remains the ''cohesive
force of public plunder;" but that is mere
flax in the flame as soon as vital questions
arise which take strong hold on the pub
lie thought and conscience. The Demo
cratic party can easily understand this by
its own experience. We had all the adj
vantages of the public patronage from 1853
| to 1861; but how little did they avail us
against the moral convictions of the coun-
try. Patronage cannot stand its ground
against vital issues. Moreover, this influ-
encewill be awakened by the circumstances
of the next Presidential campaign. Gen.
Grant will then be quite out of the field,
for the country will never consent to the
election of President for third term.
There will be general scramble for the
Republican nomination, which will have a
.disintegrating effect on the party. There
remains no Republican statesman of such
conceded pre-eminence that he can easily
unite the suffrages of the party. The old
chiefs and leaders are either dead, disabled
or out of favor. Seward has lately died ;
Chase long ago severed his party relations
Greeley, Sumner, Trumbull, Banks, Brown,
Palmer and Farnsworth, have put them
selves beyond the pale of choice by their

The Aduocate, we are pleased to see, gives
every evidence of prosperity. 1t boasts of

The Official Vote of the State.

The following is the full vote of the
State of Maryland, by counties, in the re-
cent election for President, with compa-
rative table of the vote for Governor in

ernor Whyte in 1871, while the vote fol
General Grant amounts to 66,441, being
1917 more than the vote given Mr.. Tome
in the same year. Mr.. Greeley's majority
in the State is 1,O7o. The majorities in
the different Congressional districts are as
follows: First, Wilson Cd. CO., 649; Sc

Pr. Georges County Case-In Chambers.
The Hon. Daniel r. Magruder, Associate

The Hon. Daniel X. Magruder, Associate
Judge of the Seventh Judicial Circuit, oc-
cupied the Circuit Court room on Friday,
for the convenience of counsel, &C., to hear
the argument in the case of Sarah L. Wor-
Ellington Us. George Forbes.
This suit was brought to establish the
right of the complainant to dover in the
real estate of VIM. Worthington, deceased,
of Prince Georges county. The real es-
tate contains about six hundred acres
The defense is that Forbes purchased the
real estate under mortgage executed at
the same time that the property was con-
veyed to Worthington, and that her hus-
band having had only an instantaneous
seizin, and the mortgage being executed to
secure part of the purchase money for the
land, the right of dover does not attach.
Argument not concluded. JOS K. Roberts

spondent.-BaIt Sun.
