Democratic candidate for Governor,
a at Baltimore when Lincoln was
nominated, running around with a
lack carpetbag, trying 10 get into

Tina Bloody chasm."

VIM. .. Maupin, of Saline, in q
very i%njudicious speech made al
Carrollton, said that it was evident
that a large portion of the conven.
tioR were unwilling to shake hands
over the bloody chasm," because
they refused to take Hall or Doni.
phan, as no objection could be
raised against either of these men,
With much greater propriety might
we apply the same remark to the mi
nority, who refused to take Clark
for no other reason than because he
belonged to the prescribed element.
Now, We would like to know, il
shaking hands across the bloody
cliasm means the entire prescription
of the southern element, and the fill
ing of all our offices with Federal
officers, militia ColOmels and stay-at-
home Union mon. Seven long wears
have elapsed siuce the close of the
war, and yet can it be that every
hitherto prescribed man, whose
name shall happen to come before n
convention, shall have his claims
rejected and his friends tainted with
an unwillingnc.s to forget the past.
We can speak for the southern ele-
ment in the Sjate-wc know the
feelings and know they have buried
the prejudiccs and animosities of the
past. They have given unnistuk-
able evidence Of this all over the
State. In the seventh, ninth and
twelfth congressional districts,
Southern men, with the greatest
c~hcerfulmrss. worked for and secured
the nomination of Federal officers.
In every district in the State, except
this. they are supporting men of this
character for congress. The same is
true of all the Important State offices.
Let IL Conservative, Liberal
friends meet us in the same spirit.
Let the fnr@ctfulmess of the past be
mutual. Then we can clasp hands
affcctiumately over the bloody cl,aSm.
Hon. VIM. a. Hall. whose defeat
at Carr0lltnn some of our friends
deplore, has 4 heart LARGE and liberal
enough TO interpret the true meaning
of this fratcrnal hand-clasping. at
the county convention of Randolph
that instructed for Clark, he headed
the Union men, and in a speech said
lie desired to place the Union men of
on the record as not pro-
scribing the Southern element for
but m%anifcstimg the same con-
.ervatlvc. generous sentiment that
had characterized this element all
the State. After his speech he
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the hitherto pro
element OF the Democratic
party being largely in the ascrndancv
III h 18th Congressional district,
anu having shown n disposition to
Weld place and position when the
eooh OF our common country de-
IT, we consider it due to them
,nat IN" member of Congress for this
Instruct should be selected from that
element.
We commend this resolution to our
lend Maupin. and every other man
h felt mortified at Halls or Doni-
'halIs defeat. Let them read it,,
eiicrt on the situation, aud be salts
led. Let us all clasp hands over the
bloody chasm, and goito work vigor-
'usly, and rebukc Radicalism in the
district, by securing the largest pos
IDLE vote to Gen. John b. Clark, Jr.

An electoral ticket for O'Conor ard
Adams is shortly to be put in the field in
West Virginia. The Wheeling Intelligence'
says iii reference to it: THUS Democrats
who do not relish being obliged either 10
vote for one of the Republican candidates
Grant and Greeley or to stay at hop.e,
will be afforded an opportunity to vote for
ticket composed OF straightout simon
pure Democrats. The indications are that
the number of Democrats who will avail
themselves Of this opportunity is very
large and rapidly growing. The feeling
seems to he that if there was any chance
of Greeley's election they might bring
themselves to swallow the nauseous dose /;
but since it has become evident that he has
no chance, they donot feel like eating d'rt

ANOTHER CASE or ACCIDENTAL
SHooTING.--About 3 P. NJ, yesterday,
in one of the houses near the corner of
Twenty-fifth and Main streets, Jordan
Page, a colored man, took up an old self
cooking pistol, and was fooling with it, not
knowing much about it's management.
when it was accidentally fired off, the ball
striking Harry Pollard, another colored
man who was in the sane room, entering
on the right side, just over the eighth rib,
about three inches from the medium line,
and passing transversely between the
stomach and abdominal wall lodging below
the tenth rib on the opposite side, where it
was subsequently found and cut out by
DR.. Riddell, who was called to attend the
wounded man. The Doctor considers the
wound a serious one, though the patient
may recover, if no untoward symptoms
develop themselves. Pollard was doing
as well as could be expected this morning.
Tho terrible results of carelessly hand
ling fire arms are daily published to the
world, yet the lesson they should impress
upon all is never learned.

WHY ITALIAN WoRKMEN DO NOT
STRIKE.-The system of ''strikes" seems
to find but little favor among the workmen
of Italy. When they feel themselves ag-
grieved they lay their case fairly before the
authorities, who intercede with the EN-
ployers, and hitherto they have always
succeeded in acquiring their wishes, wheth-
er as to an increase of wages or a dminu-
ton in the hours Of labor. Some attempts
have, however, been made to get up strikes
in some of the larger cities. and Roman
correspondent OF the Independence Beige
tells of recent abortive one to induce the
operative masons of Rome to turn out.
When the meeting began, one stalwart
workman propounded the very pertinent
question but who will pay me for my
idle time when am out of work ?' ''The
trades-union funds" was the reply. SLOW
long will these funds maintain me in idle
ness ?" "Five days." said one, and ''per.
haps thirty days. said another. "And wha
after the five and thirty days have expired p
| To this nobody seemed to be able to give Q
reply, upon which murmur of dissatlsfac
ton went through the meeting, and thu
questioner was surrounded and applaudet
| with cries of ale is right; we must thinl
| of our wives and children" The genera
exclamation was ''Ns strike" and tn
meeting thereupon separated, the mason
returning peacefully to their work.
