A Word of Warning,

The annexed article copied from the Easton
thd J Star is just as applicable to Montgomery
as u IS TO Talbot county; and our friends need
mot be told that it will require the utmost har
mony to ensure the success Of the democratic
party Mt the next Fall elections. The impor
lance OF the issues which will be involved in
the contest in the county lie conceded by all;
and as Far as we are able to judge there is a
determination on the part of our best men to
urge that the nominations shall be made by
Conventions untrammeled by wire-pullers
In othe. words that the Conventions shall seek
the men-and the best men-to fill the Offices.
The man whose friends have to fight TO pack
the primary meetings in his behalf, and then
iog-roll in the Convention, may be set down
as defeated before the day of election. Then.
let aspirants be modest enough to wait until
they are called and be assured that if not
called at this important crisis in our partys
history, they are not wanted
But here is the extract
NRoiitics are at n low ebb Just at this time
Indeed there is no excitement whatever in the
poiitreal market. Everything in this State is
as calm as May morning In Talbot the poll
iticians seem to have gone 10 sleep. Our De-
mocralic defeat last fall is perhaps the cause of
this. We are frequently asked "what is to be
the programme 70 To all such questions we
make answer that eve don't know Nor do
we know but we can say this much should
there be nm attempt to fractionize the party,
tue Democracy will be incontinently defeated
in the present condition of affairs, we have got
to come together in union and harmony, or
woe to the party. Ifany think they can use
the party 10 crafty their personal animosites,
andayet preserve ii from defeat, we tell them
frankly they are mistaken and in expressing
this opinion We express the opinion of hun
dre'is of the best men in the county With all
the important Offices to fill next fall and one
hundfed'and forty majority against us to start
with, one single breath of dissatisfaction will
be sufficient to overwhelm us If anyone
thinks we are mistaken and is foolhardy enough
to experiment with his opinions, let him go
ahead, and if the party should he defeated, let
him who brought it about contrary to the adj
vice OF this paper, bear the responsibility; but
IT is responsibility we should not like to bear
for the Democrats of the county will anathe-
Matte him. In answer TO the oft-repeated
question, then, as to what is to De the pro-
gramme, we venture to advise; let us have no
faction but peace and harmony in the party;
select the best qualified and most popular men
for the positions; rally all our strength, and
victory is certain. This is our only road to
success. 1t is the one, it appears to us, the
party shoald travel il. Ii is the one the De-
mocras, Conservatives and Liberals are anx-
ious for. And it is the only one that car
bring US victory"

The scenes in Congress for the past week
have been of an exciting character The re-
port Of the Credit Mobiier investigating Com
mittee which took every one by SURPRISE be-
cause of its unfairness then the motion to
impeach Vice President Colfnx, which came
near being passed-the vote being LOG TO 100
and then The flank movement of member
to raise y committee to inquire whether any
member had done anything worthy of i'm
peachmcnt-a motion that was made to shield
Mr.. Collax and protect him from the danger be
was in-these, together with other matters,
kept the excitement to fever heat, but this was
somewhat allaycd when the Committee report
ed-as it was known they would do--that no.
thing had been done TO justify Impeachment
Next comes the action of the House on the res
olutions to expel Ames and Brooks, the per-
sons singled out by the Moblier Committee as
scapegoats TO bear the sins of the other swim
oilers. The discussion on The resolution for
expulsion began ON Tuesday. Judge Poland
sustained the report of the Committee, declar-
ing that Ames and Brooks were guilty, while
the others were innocent victims He was fol-
lowed by others for and against, including Mr.
Merrick and Mr. Richie, of Maryland Mr.
Merrick defended the action of the committee
and Mr.. Richie thought that others implicat
ed should have been included as well as Brooks
and Ames
No vote had been taken on Wednesday Mr.
Richie offered a substitute to resolution
that had been offered declaring that the evil
dence taken by the committee does not war
rant the cnviction off any member for bribery
but shows thai all of the members whose cases
had been Investigated bad been guilty of gross
y improper transactions, and deserve the Sc
we're censure and rebuke of the House. The

The CREDIT MoBILER REPORT The report
made by the Committee to investigate the
transactions in Credit Mobilier stock by mem
bsrs Of Congress, has taken the country by sur
prise. That such a report should have been
made, after the admissions made by the par
ties themselves, is marvellous 1t meets with
nothing but condemnation from almost the en-
tire press of the country, and these are severe
in their criticisms. In fact, the intimation has
been thrown ont that the Committee ought to
be expelled. Out Of the whole batch-all of
whom are more or less guilty--two, Cakes
Ames and James Brooks, are singled out as the
guilty parties, and their expulsion recommen-
ded, while the others are perm ;tted to go scot
free. Even-handed justice has not been meted
ont and so the country regards it, 1t is appa-
rent rs the shining Of the sun at noon-day.
that If brides were given there must have been
receiver-and that the mobilier stock was Ia
ken by all of the parties implicated, cannot be
denied. 1t does not much improve the case TO
say that some returned the stock, or had il
transferred to other persons-the guilt remains
and The Committee have endeavored TO varnish
it over. The people will do justice to all par
ties, including the Committee.

In Congress, Mr.. Hamilton, of Maryland

the Frederick and Pennsylvania Line railroad
into the city of Washington.
letter in the Baltimore Sun Of the 18th
thus describes this road !:
The Frederick and Pennsylvania line rail
road, local enterprise, seems destined to be-
come a link in one Of the most important roads
in the country. The Legislature of Virginia
has just passed law amending the charter of
the Potomac and Manassas junction Railroad
Company, by which that company is authori-
zed tc build a road from the Potomac river 10
Quantico, connecting with the Fredericksburg
practicable route to point on the Maryland
State Line between the Point of Rock and the
mouth of Goose Greek at Edwards Ferry.
The located line will probably cross the Or
ange and Alexandria railroad near Bristol,
thence TO the summit, some four miles cast of
the village of Aide, thence by way of Lees
burg to the Potomac, at or near the mouth of
the Monocacy. The objects TO be obtained.
are, first, connection with the Macassas
branch of the Orange and Alexandria railroad,
at or near Haymarket, in Prince William coun-
ty; second, a connection with the Metropolitan
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
near the mouth Of the Monocacy, which will
enable that road to compete with the Chesa-
peake and Ohio in transportation of passen-
gers and freight to the West; third, an extern
sion of the line to this city (Fredericll), for
the purpose Of connecting with the Frederick
and Pennsylvania Line railroad When COM
pleted this will be the shortest route between

Alexander II. Stephens has been elected t,
Congress from Georgia.

CoLTAx.-The Philadelphia Esening BuIle-
TN, one OF the strctest Radical journals in the
country, thus discourses on the vote that was
lately taken in the House of Representatives
in reference to the proposed impeachment of
Schuyler Colfax:
There is tremendous significance in such
vote as that of the House on Mr.. Wood 5 reso-
luton. And its weight is practically the same
AS if the slight difference of the vote had
turned the other scale. The condemnation
involved in nearly tie vote on such propo-
si,ion as the impeachment Of Schuyler Colfax
cannot be interpre ted upon any theory but
that Of a widespread dissatisfaction with his
explanations of his connection with this Credit
Mobiler scandal 1t is with bitter sorrow and
disappointment that the people who have lean
ed with almost atfectionate confidence upon
any high public official find that confidence
shaken or destroyed Where official charac-
ter and reputation have long been maintained
above and beyond all cavi and suspicion, a
cloud, II doubt, a step, a fall, and the popular
heart sickens 10 its estimate of public faith
fulness, and almost despairs for the Republic
The people have honestly struggled to believe
these public servants innocent. They have
gladly received and read all their pleasant eX-
cuses and explanations, hoping to find in them
some open avenue of escape But they have
only reflected the mind of the people when
more than hundred of its members voted
that Schuyler Colfax ought to be impeached."

master General Creswell to visit Pooesyile to
see where the Post-ofIice is located He would
find it about half way on the public road lead

the County Hospital at six o'clock
yesterday morning. His life had been
II of strange viciSSitudeS. He was
the only o of a noble family, and
was the natural heir to immense es-
tates in his native country. Notwith-
standing his iiattering prospects at
home, he went into voluntary exile,
and wandered over most Of the coun-
tries of Europe and North America.
He participated in several domestic

merous sears on his person from
saber cuts. His intellectual attain
ments were of a very high order, and
he could converse tluently in the vari-
u continental tongues, besides being
a perfect master of the English lau-
guage. He was possessed of a com
handing figure. pleasing address, and
brilliant conversational powers. AS
exhibiting the strange freaks of for
tune, we may state that Il few weeks
