it seems that he ATTEMPTED the virtue of
that sterling Democrat, Senator Bavard, of
Delaware. The overture was made through
Col. Mccomb, and the reply Of the Senator
was follows:
WAsHISG1oN, January ID, 1868
MY ID AR SIR 81 received this evening your let
ter OF this date. in forming me that AIR Ames of
Massachusetts. had one or two thousand doIars of
stock N the Credit Mohllier Tor me. My son, in a
letter which received this morning, informed me
OF your short conversation with him nd that il wa
to your friendly feeling was indebted for the sub
scrint'on TO what you tell me Is "a good thing" I
am however, utterly in the dark to the nature
and object OF this corporation and you will obige
me il you will give my b. much in for ma ton as
you have in relation them.
do not know Mr.. Ames personally and must
wait OF course till he addresses II, on the subject
take 1t for granted that the corpor ton has no ap
plica ton t" make to Congress which shall be
called pom to act officially, as coulu not conss
tently, with my views OF duty vote upon question
in which | had pecunary interest. wheths r be-
come the owner of this stock not, am obliged
OF course pay for any st"rk get please let my
have full Informal ton to its prospective iue.
Yours, truly. j. A. BAyAap.
ii s McComb.
1t seems. therefore. that Mr.. Bavard won d
not receive or acquire pecuniary interest in
subject upon which he might be called to
vote Not so with Mr. Blaine, who in his at
tempted denial Of the charge OF bribery, says
that he claims ''the right to invest 10 any
stock Tat may be offered" thus tacitly ad-
mir'ing his guilt. Yet this man is the chosen
Grant orator in tine Western campaign! ITO
what base uses do we come -

PROGRESS OF THE CANVASS,

From all parts of the I'd Congressional Dis
trict, come the most encouraging reports, as
to the s.good feeling and kind manifestations
in behalf of our gallant standard bearer, the
Hon. B. f. Martin. He has already visited
the counties of Grant, Hardy, Hampshire,
Mineral, &C., and me, with most enthusiastic
and cordial reception. A correspondent in
writing tn us as to the condition of things in
these counties, states "that any apparent
breach of the past is healing aud all true and
reliable Democratic Conservatives are as
unit for the nominee of its Convention.' In
the Trans Allegheny, the name of Martin is
a tower of strength, and its sturdy sons will
rally with enthusiastic devotion to its support
The AMENDE HoNoRABLE-Ou neigh>
Dor, the Free Press, having used uninten>
tionally language which was considered per

Jefferson who thought it proper, under the
circumstances, to cast their votes in the Graf

it gives US pleaure to observe that our neigh

hastily carelessly written as to bear such
construction"

TAXING OFFICE-HOLDERS.

One OF the most corrupt and alarming prac
tees Introduced by Grant is that of levying
contributions on his appoip,ees to Office to aid
in his reelection. A postmistress in Massa
chuset's, becoming indignant at such de-
mand. has published letter of Hon. James
Harlan, President of the Grant Committee at
ashington. The letter is as follows:

To Prevent Sunstralxe.

The following very simple continuance is
published as precaution against sunstroke:
About year since, saw in a newspaper
an account of a case of sunstrnke, written by
the party himself. Ate. suffering long
time from the attack, and having to consid-
cradle degree recovered, he experienced suf-
fering even from the rays of the moon. This
led him to the reflection that it was not alto
gether the heat Of the sun that produced pros
tration. After much research he discovered
that the injury came from the chemical ray
and not from the heat ray. He was guided
to this by observing the fact that a photograph
could not be taken through yellow glass;
Accordingly, he lined bis hat with two lin
ings-one of orange yellow to arrest the heat
ray. Thus prepared he went where the rays
of the sun were most intense with perfect i'm
punity. It is well known that the negro is
seldom or never sunstruck. The color of bis
skin over the skull being of the orange yell
low may assist in accounting for the fact. I
practced upon this suggestion all last sum-
mer; lined my hat with green and orange
yellow paper, and had confidence enough in
the truth of the theory to neglect my umbre-
la, which l had never done before. l men
toned it to many, who tried it Also and in
all cases that came under my observation they
uniformly asserted that the oppressive heat of
the SUI upon the head was much relieved.

Midsummer Naiadies.

The hot solar rays that ripen the harvests
generate many distressing diseases. If the
liver be at all predisposed to irregularities, this
is the season in which bilious attacks may be
anticipated. A weak stomach, too, is weakest
in the summer months, and the loss of vitality
through the pores by excessive perspiration is
so great, that wholesome tonic, combining
also the properties of diffusive stimulant and
gentle exhilarant, is in many cases necessary
to health, and under no circumstances should
be dispensed with by the sickly and debilitat-
ed. Of all the preparations intended thus to
refresh, sustain and fortify the human frame,
there is none that will compare with Hostetter' s
Celebrated Stomach Bitters. They have been
weighed in the balance of experience and not
found wanting; have been recommended from
the first as a great medicinal specific, not as
beverage, and in spite of interested opposition
from innumerable quarters, stand, after TWEEN
ty years trial, at the head OF all proprietary
medicines intended for the prevention and cure
of all ordinary complaints of the stomach, the
liver, the bowels and the nerves. In the IN
healthy districts bordering the great rivers of
California, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be
classed as the standard one for every species of
intermittent or remittent fever. The people
who inhabit those districts, place the most i'm
plicit confidence in the preparations conf
dence that is increased every year by the re-
suits of its operation.
AS bitters, so called, of the most pernicious
character, are springing up like fungi on every
side, the public is hereby forewarned against
the dram-shop frauds. Ask for Hostetter's
Bitters see that the label, etc., are correct and
remember that the genuine article is never sold
in bulk, but in bottles only.

The late heavy rains have done some dam
age to the public roads by washing gullies in
them, rendering the attention of Supervisors
necessary to make them passable. We would
particularly point out the Mount He'll road as
requiring immediate repair, deep gully hav-
ing been formed at the steepest and narrow
est part of this road-the grade of which still
remains disgraceful evidence of want Of
proper regard for, or appreciation of the needs
OF the public. On Monday last gentleman
coming down this road in bis carriage was
upset near the top of the bill, and but for bis
activity IN springing from the carriage when
he saw it going over, and Immediately sbeck-
ing his horses, be might have met with fatal
accident. Since writing the above, we learn
that hands were mending this road yesterday
morning by placing brush In the washes and
covering it with dirt. Yesterday evening. we
mere visited with another heavy fall of water;
and although we have not heard of any further
damage to the road In question, yet we-shink
it safe to predict that it needs immediate at
teution again. What is required is much
lower grade, and true economy demands 1t.
Private enterprise is hindered, and the public
interests suffer for the want of it.

Murder at Alexandria.

We learn from the Gazette that man nam
ed John Monroe, who had been assaulted and
robbed on Friday night last, was picked up
early on Saturday morning near the locality
known as 'Petersburg'' and sent to his board
ing house, in very precarious condition. On
Saturday night Monroe died. An inquest has
since been held, and the verdict of the jury is,
that the deceased came to his death from
wounds inflicted by, and injuries received at
the hands of some unknown party or parties.
A colored man named Charles Marley and an
other named William Payne his wife Mary
and his sister Charlotte, have been arrested
and committed to Jail, and warrants have been
issued for two other members of the Payne
family, Lewis and Samuel, but they had left
early Saturday morning, and at last accounts
had not been arrested. Manley when taken
had the boots and watch of the murdered man
in his possession. 1t is stated that at late
hour on Saturday night persons passing near
the place where the assault was committed
heard man cry out, ''for Gods sake dom
murder me! take my money, here's my purse,
but spare my life ~ and that shortly afterwards
most of the parties named above were seen run
ming from that direction. The murdered man
was clock member and was generally known
as Scotch John.

Timely AdmOnitfOF.

The Washington Patriot we'll and truly
says: ale is dupe of foolish infatuation
who supposes that the coming election can be
carried without hard work, and perfect union
of the Democratic party. 1t is our duty to
say emphatically now, when good only can
result from the admonition, that unless we Or
ganize in delail and build from the foundation
up, defeat is invited And this remark APP
plies with full force to any candidate who may
be nominated at Baltimore. If the Democra-
tic vote be divided or distracted, disaster is
inevitable. To prevent such catastrophe,
the efforts should be to concilitate, unite and
strengthen the party, so that the candidate,
whoever he may be, shall receive an honest,
cordial, and solid support. That has been and
is our aim, and we consider it far more i'm
portant duty than engaging in controversy a.
bout candidates, none of whom can ever hope
for an election without thorough and active
organization"

IND Marlboro, Gazette.


The G0zette entered last week upon the
thirty-seventh year of its devoted service to
the interests of the people of Prince Georges
county, and we are glad to see, by all the
signs familiar to publishers eye, that they
appreciate, as they should, its high claim to
liberal support. The Gazette, usually neat
y printed sheet, is now greatly improved by
the addition of new type to its fonts. Our
old tshall we say venerable p friend, the Edi-
tor, has just associated with him, in the edi-
torial department, his youngest son, who thus
gracefully makes bis bow
Totke Eiends and Patrons Of tie Marlborough

Upon this, the 37th birthday of the Gazette,
the Editor has seen fit to place my name upon
it's editorial staff feel the full responsibility
and delicacy Of the position and shall exertmy
utmost ability to make the Gazette as welcome
q visitor to each and every household as it has
proven in the past. Its course for these many
years will, for the future be pursued; it will
still endeayor to promote the interest of our
common country and county-politically and
socially. and if we should fail to reach that
standard of excellence for which we strive, we
trust that the public displeasure may not be so
severe as to snip the tender buds of hope,
which we have dared to pnt forth.
To my Brothers of the Press, would add, it

actions their approval and respect.
With feelings of kindest regard, | am the
