A sickly Season,

Pomeroy's New York Democrat says -
There was more sickness, generally, through.
out the United States from the first day Of
January up to the latter part OF March, than
at any season for many years.
A month ago, very nearly every journal
came to hand laden with startling accounts
ofsmall pox, typhoid fever, pneumonia or
spotted fever. About the middle of last
month the rayages of typhoid we're alarm.
ing, particularly along the Atlantic States
The Gulf district was scourged with pneu
monia, while the entire western country,
from the Alleghanies to beyond the Valley
Of the Mississippi, lost thousands Of PEG
pie by smallpox aud spotted lever.
With the disappearance Of the late raw,
damp aud unhealthy weather, and IN its
stead pleasant seasons with plenty Of warm
life giving sun shine, il is an important
fact to know tina, this sickness has disap
peAred almost entirely aud is confined
principally to large cities, where small pox
still holds powerful sway. as is the case es
pecially in the North aud Northeast. AT
the present writing the ratio Of sickness
according TO population is trom eighty to
one hundred per cent greater in the larger
cities than IN the country towns or villages

CONGRESSIONAL CANDiDArEs.-So
far, we have heard Of no candidate in
Carroll conaty, though il is possible
there may be one in reserve. Hartford,
having the Congressman at this time,
it is believed, will not press her claim,
for the next nomination. Cecil, gives
no sign, as yet; what she may do, re-
mains to be seen. But Baltimore
county is fruitful in aspirants to Con.
gressional honors, if we may credit the
Herald. That journal names no less
than five. viz Judge Grason, George
II Carman, Esq, DR.. Walter 7. Allen.
der, Gen. James Mahool and Hon. T.
Sturgis Davis. The Herald adds that
Judge Grason has been solicited to
serve "by influential persons in Carroll
county" We have no knowledge as to
who these persons are. The Herald
also says:--"We hear that Hon. Steven.
500 Archer viii be candidate for re-
election"

Sykesville Items.

.Saow We were visited, Monday
morning, BY severe snow storm lasting
several hours followed by rain during
the latter part of the day Though
very disagreeabie at the time its effects
seem to have been very beneficial upon
vegetation generally.
AccitReRt-Mrs. Brooks Of this vicin.
ity was seriously injured last week
Whilst driving out OF Baltimore with
her son the horse became frightened
aud ran off throwing them both out.
Mrs. Brooks had her collar bone and
one rib broken. She was taken to the
residence OF her father.in.law, Clancy
Brooks Esq. We learn that her con.
dition is improving. Her sou was not
injured.
For Ciase.-We understand that
quite an exciting fox chase took place,
near Freedom, one day last week. A
fox had been captured by s.ratagem,
and all good lovers of the chase were
summoned to attend with horse and
hound. Quite number responded to
the call, the ueighing steed, the clarion
notes of the huntsman's horn, aud the
deep baying of the impatient hound, all
besokeued a lively day of sportl But,
alas for human hopes. When Reyuard
was uuloosed spirit of perverseness
seems to have pervadea the hounds aud
they wouldn't come 10 time. There.
upon one Of the gentlemen attempted to
capture the fox on foot but foding him
self unequal to the task made requi.
sition upon Mr.. s. W. Anderson for u
terrier pup, with whose assistance he
6uallysucceeded in bagging the game. y

SENATOR SuMSER.-The position Of

mittee on Foreign Relations. He re.

Of the Radical party, He now seems to

l. is affirmed that Washington gossip
points to the nomination of Judge Da.
Wis, at CINCINNATI; and in such an
event, it is alleged, his nomination by
the Democrats is certain. Nothing has
been said Of the nomination Of Parker,
as Vice President. 1t would be haz.
ardous experiment, we think, if one
should be taken and the other left.
The Democrats would want to know the
reason of such discrimination.

For q. penssratie Adroeat,
Liberal Republicans.


This is the name of another new party
that has sprung into existence within
a few months past. Its object seems
not TO be SO much the good and welfare
of the country, as desire to oppose
Grants denomination and to defeat his
election. 1t is composed Of such men
as Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull, Upton,
Feuton, Horace Greeley, aud a whole
batch of lesser lights, all eager to do
certain things, the very identical things
that the Democratic party has bceu say
lug for years should be done. They say
that Grant is unworthy of the high aud
exalted position he occupies so say the
Democrats. They say that he has ap
pointed aud still keeps 10 Office men who
are known to be dishonest so say the
Democrats. They say he has rendered
the civil, subject to the military author
ity ; SO say the Democrats They say
he has suspended tho writ Of habeds
corpus, which he has not the authority
to do; so say the Democrats. They
charge him with attempting to control
the elections by stationing bands oil
armed soldiers at the polls to iutimidur
voters so say the Democrats. They
say he has violated law, transcribed tho
bounds of his swor, obligation, and with
the aid of his scrfs aud pliaut tools il
Congress, is moulding and shaping the
destinles OF this great government to
wards consolidation SO say tho Demo
Gratis. II they are really in.earnest, il
these things, why not unite with US ia
endeavoriog to put stop to them
There is no possibility Of their succeed
ing by themselves. Ii there is no otheI
power by which his defeat can be &C
complished, Grant will be re elected
aud everything dear to US as Americat
citizens will be numbered with the thing,
that were. II their object really is t,
defeat Grant, let them support tn,
Democratic nominees.
don't exactly understand why thi
new party should be named the Lbera
Republicans, Who is Sumner will
about as mach liberalitJ 10 him as Their
was in old Ben Butler when he got BIZ
hands III among the spoons. Why, tn,
very name Of Sumner is stench il
Democratic nostrils He is even now
with all the powers Of his great mind
endeavoring to force white people an,
black to eat together at the same tabl
and TO sit together in the Same pew il
church aud the worst feature Of al
his daring wickedness is to force, by uu
constitutional means, the negro into GU
white public schools. He is disgrac
to the very name of liberalism
Then again, there is Horace Greeley
another liberal, who more than fort
years ago declared his "irrepressibl
conflict" against the South aud her ID
situations aud, stung to the hear
BY bis conscience for the foul disgrac
he has brought upoa himself aud party
did attempt to wipe the foul stains Q
blood from his hands BY going Jciferso
Davis bail. And as further step i
the same direction, be now assumes tn
pame of a liJerdii | believe the Who'll
