The Independent Resolutions.

and estimable young man, who keeps sha-

Independent Democrats" held here on
the list instant, offered series of resolu-
tions which were adopted, and, therefore,
may be supposed to be the platform of the
aforesaid so-called. We promised our
readers that flour life was spared we would
endeavor to examine them, and comment
on anything which might be worthy ofno-
tice. We have made the effort, but found
ourselves utterly unable to meander thro'
the mazes of their verbosity. We gave it
up in despair, and have to acknowledge
that the rising young statesman of Hughes
vile is too much for us. Whilst this con-
fession is made with all due humility, it is
with pride-pride that our
county has within its borders one, who in
his early life, has already rivalled, and, if
his valuable life is spared, will doubtless
excel, one of the greatest statesmen who
ever ruled France and kept her tickle peo-

Then and Now.


Last fall the precious convention coterie
of this county, as general thing, voted
for two unauthorized Republicans, Gree
ly and Brown. They were good Demo
Gratis then because they voted for the two
Republicans. Presto change! This fall
those who propose to initiate the example
of last year, or to preserve their own con-
sistency, are courteously styled Oh
Radicals" Disappointed ofice-seekers, y
sSore- headed BEARS" and all that sort of
thing. Such foolishness, however, is the
cream of the arguments used by ring-ruling
convention Democrats. They cuss fellow
now for doing what they did last fall.

Preaching VS.. Practice.

Maryland has five Representatives and
two Senators toprotect her interests, up
hold her dignity and illustrate her honesty
in the national Congress. All seven. of
these gentlemen were caucus or conven-
ton Democrats All seven of these gen
tlemen too preached ardent morality "a
gainst the bar salary grab: But FIVE,
only E, ; Eye IF e s r made
ing with their piactice, for five, only five,
of the seven tookitheir "diYey' of the same
back salary steal, against which they had
preached. When "cheap matrimony" edi-
torials say ''by all means let us have a
back salary grab" it is a plain endorse
ment of the high-morality patriotic five,
who preached one thing but practiced an
other, and an uneeremonious pitching
overheard of the unselfsh two who &C
tually practiced what they sincerely
preached. Cheaplmatrimony- back-salary-
grab friends, how is this? o, tell us gent
ly, whisper it loWly. TIMEs-MAN.

ICoMMuNIcArEp.l


Mr.. Editor: In hastily glancing over the
variety of interesting campaign matter
which found its way in your issue of the
10th instant, I find a paragraph which
seems to be quotation from some one
who was, on the day of the Republican
Convention, in Port Tobacco, 'sitting on
rail'' with knowing friend, spotting
the Independent Democrats, &c. Passing
near by, and whilst just in the act of speak
ing to them, heard one of the party say,
whilst looking out on the Square at some
newcomers into the Republican ranks,
"Why, they can't give them all an Office"
and just then, as Ihurriedly shook hands
with them, said, i"Brent," or 'sVivian,"
am not sure which, cit is very sorry par
ty," or it may be ''d-n sorry party" that
can't give ''eUery6o5y," not all its members
only, but Everybody an Office" This
facetious remark was very pleasantly re-
ceived by them, and, of course, in the spi-
rit in which it was intended-as in re-
Spouse to the insinuation, "a stereotype of
the Democrats,) that every man in sympa-
thy with the Republican cause wanted of
fice.-
Now, don't remember, just now, the
names of both of those gentlemen, for [
quickly passed on,) nor do know which
was the knowing friend" or which the
other one, but rather think that the writer
is evincing an inordinate anxiety, in view
of the Strengthened political circumstances
of himself and party; but long may they
be found Sitting on the rail- 1 forgot to
say, that, at the time of this important adj
dition to the Democratic archives of
Charles county, the Republican Conven-
ton had not been organized, and was not
organized for several hours after, and con-
sequently the Radical candidate for the
Senate was not heard on the matter of the
distribution of offices, &c.
Very respectfully, G. D.. MUD.

6 Then and Now

In another column will be found an ar
ficle under the caption of ''Then and Now, "
in which the writer maintains that there
is no difference, in point of consistency,
between the Convention Democrats, as he
terms them, in voting for Greeley and
Brown last fall, and the Independent Dem
ocrats in voting with the Radicals now.
"None so blind" says the old adage, Gas
those that will not see." If our friend
cannot perceive the difference, it is because
he closes his mental vision to the facts,
and is deaf to the force of the conclusions
resulting from such facts, in running a
comparison between the two periods.
Last fail the Democratic party, in regular
Convention, determined not to nominate
straight-out Democrats, but to support
Greeley and Brown, Liberals" or Con-
sentative Republicans, as against Grant
and Wilson, the nominees of the radical
Republican party. This was done because,
m the first place, the principles announced
By the Liberals were nearly identical with
those commended for by them; and chiefly,
among other reasons, through sympathy for
and Difference to the wishes and appeals of
the oppressed Southern people, who favor
ed this course as presenting the best hope of
success, and consequent relief from their
expressions, both through the Federal and
their own carpet-bag State governments.
The Democratic party, Independently of the
Liberal organization, and not .f1sing with
81, nominated Greeley and Brown as their
candidates, IN q common effort to defeat
the Radicals.
What are the facts "now," however, In
accordance with usage, this fall the Dem
ocrats and Conservatives of Charles county
called Convention and made regular par
ty nominations. It cannot be denied that
alarge majority of the party favor this as
the only feasible mode of uniting and con-
centrating the party strength. Some, how
ever, disapprove and oppose it. If they
stopped here, leaving themselves free to
vote Independently, they would be person
ally consistent, no matter however incon-
sistent from party point of view claim
ing to be party men. But these gentle
men-anti- Convention men-cal a Con-
vention, or 'meeting;;" profer to fuse with
our and their political opponents in Con-
oeation assembled; supply names" for GER
tain positions on the Radical ticket n0nai-
mated by such Convention; and thus, no
matter what they may call themselves, they
are committed to the support of that tick
ct, and all the results that must follow
Radical success.
Is there no difference in voting for Gree
Ley and Brown then, under that state of
facts; and In voting the Radical ticket
noso, under the present condition of things?
Can our friends seek to maintain the con-
sistency of Independent Democrats by such
a. comparison? In the one case Democrats
voted for the nominees of their own party,
maintaining and representing its princi-
pies involved in the canvass, as against the
nominees of their political opponents. In

and emphatically insisting upon our (their)

Shooting of Ex-senator Pom
erOy.


On Saturday afternoon, Martin F. Con-
way fired pistol at ex-senator Pomeroy,
with the apparent intention of taking his
life. When Mr.. Conway entered Congress
as the first Representative from Kansas in
the House he was a young man of more
than usual culture, and of great promise.
Since the expiration of his term of service
his habits, it is said, have not been COM
mendable. He lost his professional pres
tige, ran down in business and fortune,
and became unable to support his family
Mrs. Senator Pomeroy and her husband,
with other leading citizens Of Kansas, took
an interest in seeing that they were provid-
ed for, and ultimately secured for Mrs Con-
way position under the Government; and
it is reported that during temporary aber-
ration fmind Mr.. Conway, prompted per-
haps by his extreme penury, attempted to
collect his wife's earnings for his personal
use, and was successfully resisted by her,
she being protected by her Kansas friends.
1t is thought that Mr.. Conway's hostility
to the Senator grew out of these causes, al
though he made a remark when arrested
which seems to indicate that he supposed
himself to be taking vengeance on one
who had wronged him and his family
Those who are intimately acquainted with
him say that he ought to have been in the
insane asylum long since. Fortunately but
little damage was done by this mad at
tempt to take the life of Senator Pomeroy.
Although standing within few feet of
him his nerves were so unsteady as to
cause him to fire wild, two shots being
entirely harmless, and the third one in
ficting wound SO trivial as not to pene-
trate the true skin. Mr.. Conway served
an apprenticeship in The american office,
beginning as copy-holder, and gradual

A Noble Girl.

Notwithstanding the fact that men
receive higher wages for labor than
women do, there are more girls laying
up handsome sums of money than there
are young men who save a cent
Not long since, delicate-loOking girl
sent home To Ireland money to pay the
passage To America of another member
of the family, who desired to come here
to work and earn q home. Said 2 lady
to the girl: "Why does not your brother
send the money! He has been in this
country longer than you, and ought to
have saved quite an amount"
"Oh, mann, my brother would never
send it; he spends as fast As he earns,
and most always fOOlishly, i'm drinking
and uniting himself for work. | am
willing to deny myself clothing for the
sake Of the dear ones at home"
"DO you share your wages with them
all the time ?n
ayes, mann, I send money home
every three mOnths-mOre than hall l
earn"
"Does your brother ever send any ~
"Not much. Once or twice since L
came to America, four years ago, he has
sent ten dollars"
HAre YOU not afraid If another brother
comes to this country, he will follow
the example of his older brother, and
become improvident and addicted to
drinking?"
"S0metimes that fear troubles me, but
believe he will do better, for he was
always a wiser boy"
The girl is brave and noble Quietly
she pursues her duties, and denies her
self adOrnment and pleasures, although
she is pretty, and may be supposed To
delight in gratifying the vanities which
possess almost all cOmely women.
The helpless ones at home are first in
her heart, and for their sakes she tolls
from year to year, perhaps thinking
that sometime the right man will come
along who will marry and take her to
his home.
As the habits of young men now are
there is not one among a thousand
worthy Of becoming her husband, and
the wisest thing she can do is to remain
single, unless she meets one who has
had the manhood to resist the tempta-
tions that beset the youth Of these times,
to steal away their senses with rum, and
rifle their pockets of their wages.-EiBl

An, no! but when we as spirits shall roam
Through the vapory paths OF our own mystic

The friends who have crossed are the first we

As we open our eyes after Deaths dark retreat.
