we .---se..sfew extracts from pa
pers in different PORTIONS OF the
State, showing the estimation in
which Capt. Christy is held:
Capt. Christy gets proud endorse
ment from the press of the southwest
Clinton Bee.
We hope that all our candidates will
bear as good reputation as Captain
Christy -Fairfeld Ledger.
Capt. Clristy is favorably mentioned
as q most efficient fnancier and true Re.
publican. Eureka.
We are led to think that should Capt
Christy receive the nomination the state
would secure the services Of an excellent
oflicer.-Belle Plain Union.
Our county Auditor, T. f. Blanchard.
says he knows Capt. Christy personally
and well, aud that he is thoroughly
qualified f.. the position.-Maquoketa
Epcelsi0r. 1..f
Mr.. Christy is candidate for State
Treasurer, and II the tone Of our eX-
changes proves anything ibis star is in
the ascendant. We do not know Q bet
ter man for the Charles CITY In,
telli0encer.
Capt. Christy was born in Ohio, and
came to lows to reside about eighteen
years ago, anil has ever since been cit
izen OF this State. When the war broke
out he enlist! rs soldier and passed
six months or more in q rebel prison,
where he was one of about eight thous.
and Union prisoners who cast their votes
for Lincoln Tin sham election of cOurse)
to four thousand others who voted for
Mcclellan, previous to the presidential
election of 1864. He tcstifies to the ex-
trcmc anxiety then manifested by the
rebels for the success Of Mcclellan, and
of the efforts they made to induce the
prisoners of war to vote for him, through
sympathy and for the influence of such a
vote upon public sentiment at the North,
Capt. Christy is q man of good pres
ence, deliberate and collected in speech
and action, familiar with finance and
business, and if nominated at the State
Convention will be elected and make n
good of1iccr.-F Dodge Messenger.
The Indianolia Leader in speaking Of
him, says: No man in Iowa il better
qualified for the responsible position of
Treasurer. No man could be placed on
the ticket less offensive to the party, or
with fewer personal enemies, all fac
lions could unite on him; every i4dl-
yidual member OF the party could vote for
him withor. the least prejudice to his
personal feelings.
Of his infexible integrity we have
hitherto made mention, in these columns,
His reputation for uprightness is without
blemisb. Even the opposition journals
pay the highest compliment to. his indi-
vidual worth and probity of character,
although Of course they Level many o
shaft at the political principles which he
has always protested and for which he
faced fire and bullet, as hts numerous
scars abundantly testify. ~ tai'i.

served over four years in
...lantry and Sth cavalry, during
..run ulmc he was wounded five times,
and laid over six months in rebel prisons
His wounds, which were severe, have
incapaciatcd him from performing hard
manual labor. Ofall the candidates in
the field for State Treasurer, we believe
that Capt Christy is the only one that
went into the army from Iowa. While
military merit alone is not necessarily a
qualification for civil Office, yet it is
true that the man who defended his
country in her greatest hour Of need,
and to the imminent danger Of life and
limb, and also endured the horrors of the
rebel prison is eminently entitled (other
qualifications being gooD to a position
in the distribution Of civil donors, and
the hearts and hands of a grateful people
viii accord it to such an one. Should
our State Convention see fit to nominate
Capt. Chrlsty for State Treasurer, they
will put good man In the right place,
as we'll rs comforting honor on one to
whom honor is due-MarshaW RepubN-

The following dispatches seem to
set at rest all doubts concerning the
result of the election in North Caro-
lima. The Greeley Democracy, one
week ago when the first news arriv-
ed, were lifted to 4 seventh heaven
of jubilation over the boastful dis
patches Of their friends in North
Carolina announcing that the State
had given 10000 majority for the
Democratic ticket. These bogus
dispatches were a part of the game
Of brag and buster which they have
adopted for this. campaign, and it
was further carried out by a gener-
al kicking up Of dust over the

north. Cannon were fired, rockets

The a1:ond Old TImes.,,

The good old times! days the dress of a
fashionable woman costs over two or three thou
sand dollars. Such extravaganza as this is sap
ping social morals to their centre, cry your Sot-
tly! Softly look at Queen Elizabeth dying and
leaving behind her three thousand dresses and
a solemn proclamation against extravaganza in
dress. Social immortality Of the present dayf
look at that elder time even in the reign OF Queen
Ann, through the eyes OF Thaekeray or the ghast-
ly and re voting satires Of Dean Swift.
Political corruption of the present day. Look
a century back and see British King buying his
Parliment by the scores. Look at the sneer ex-
pressed half a century ago in" France ought TO
have plenty OF honor, for she has bought half OF
England's." Look at Sir Robert Walpole openly
bribing his supporters
Open your morning papers and read the denun-
Citations bursting upon the head OF the Chet
Magistrate of the nation, as political tricks OF
and sohemer for power, and turn back seventy
FIVE years ago and read the criticism of Phila-
dephia paper, the Aurora, on the retirement OF
Washington as a blessing and a cause for con-
graduation, styling him despot and contemneI
of the right which the colonies had just brought
with their hearts blood. Read this and then
read your morning paper with more tranquility
and think that all Washingtons patriotism anc
care for the peoples good may not all have
gone out of his SUCCESSORS even though the pit

present is a better. and, believe me, the future

The wheat Crop at the West.

Advices are being received in New FORK of an
unfavorable character as to the growing crop of
wheat in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. The esti-
mates (of those best informed) are that there
will be but half to two thirds of a crop Of
White wheat and two-thirds to three-quartel 1
of crop of Red and Amber Wheat. The grow
ing crop is everywhere backward, and this is
already exerting much influence with farmers,
causing them to hold back their supplies. The
great scarcity of wheat at the West and South
and the failure of the crop there is now well
known fact. From st. Louis the correspondent
is informed that cnoice Amber and White wheats
are selling at 1925 per bush, and common Red
80, and No. Minnesota $3.50, and the tenden

PROSPECT THROUGHOUT THE PENINSULA.

pROsPECr THROUGHOUT THE FENINsULA'
The general tenor Of the reports is good. The
following are the details WicOmico Co. Present
indications point to something near half crop
of peaches. In few orchards the fruit has been
entirely killed by the cold weather, but in others
where the least protection from the northeriy
winds was afforded, the trees are covered with
blossoms The frost and cold of Tuesday night
seem to have injured the germ but slightly
the peach crop will be very light. 1t mentions
however two orchards which promise 30 well at
to deserve special mention.
Dorchester Co. The Cambridge Democrt re-
ports the peach crop out of danger, from frost
and says the wheat is growing rapidly, and pre-
serts very promising appearance.
Talbot Co. The st. Mlchae1s Comet says th'
prospect for wheat is much improved; som'
| fields near town look exceedingly well.

NO DEFINITE DEVELOPMENTS
The poisoning of three little children, and the
SUBSEQUENT death of two of them. at Riddles
Banks, last Friday, has since caused much COM
ment and speculation in regard to the pecular-
tiles of the case.
Reports are prevalent that the poisoning was
the malicious design of some inhuman wretch
who bore a hatred to the parents OF the children
This, however, cannot be considered reliable,
and very probably was put into circulation by
some sensationalist, in order to give spice 10 the
common gossip concerning the affair.
The fact that Mr.. Mcintyre has had cattle and
chickens poisoned by some unknown enemy, as
we are informed has been the case, could hardly
be taken as an evidence that such criminal
could possibly be guilty of such a tiendish act as
the numbering of number of children, in order
to satiate desire to obtain foolish revenge. :.
The whole affair is, apparently, wrapped IN
mystery, and it is doubtful il any ordinary inves-
tigation would reveal the true state OF the case
But that the case should be fully ventilated ana
investigated there is not the shadow Of doubt
and such proceeding should be assisted in by
the parents of the children, and all others VINO
might possibly throw any light upon the SUD
ject.
