OHOLERA AND HOMEOPOTHY.

Homeopathy gained its first triumphs and
secured public RECOGNITION by its signal cures
of the Cholera in 1928. In every seceeding
invasion it has maintained its reputation,
preventing and saving even when other sys-
TENS failed No ether treatment or system
can even approximate its splendid results:
Its mild doses seem to act like magic, and
cure as no other medicine does. This is the
experience of more than forty years. DR..
Humphreys has prepared a case Of Cholera
Specifcs; three small vials and a little book
of simple directions, which gives the symp-.
toms and treatment in full for families, OF, self
treatment so that any person can use it both
as preventive and curative treatment. This
little case has been wonderfully successful in
preventing and curing this terrible disease,
and should be in the hands of every family or
traveller Price Family case three tblS o.. yi a.

TO THE PUBLIC.

AS it seems to be pretty generally known
that the undersi gned from time to time is
accustomed to devote some attention to
the Times, in the way of writing for its
columns, and as many letters, arraigning
my political course as inconsistent with
the views promulgated by the paper, have
been addressed to me, I deem it proper,
with the appreciation of the proprietor
and editor, to say that he alone is respon-
sible for the political course of the paper.
| have nothing in the world to do with
shaping the policy it pursues, or fashion
ing in any way the sentiments it ANNOUNCE
|es. Captain Wells is Democrat. of the
staunch, true type, who permits nothing
to interfere with his understanding of
party allegiance; but; while active and
earnest always in the promotion of the
cause he espouses, he is ever tolerant of
different opinions and always respects the
man who obeys the behests of an honest
conviction, and his columns are not closed
to those, who, holding opposite views, may
desire their use. He is devoted to the ad-
vancement Of the Democratic cause by
whatever honorable means its leaders may
select; while l am persistent in my fdeli-
ty only to independent views in the
matter of filling county offices. Holding
such opposite views, we are yet most
amiable couple. am in no wise respon-
sible for the political tone of the Times,
and indulge the belief and hope that the
Captain and the "ISmes man. will long
move on together as pleasantly as now.
Respectfully, &c,

thorized to receive, in return, from the
manager of the clearing house, certificates
at the rate of seventy-fve per cent of the
value of the securities so deposited, and to
the extent of fifteen per cent of the CAPT
tai of said bank. If; however, the securi-
ties consist of United States bonds, gold,
or gold certificates they will be estimated
at their par value. The certificates so is
sued are to be used in the settlement of bal
ances at the clearing house, are to bear in
mum, and their issue and use are to cease
on the 1st of November We derire it to
be distinctly understood that this action
of the banks is not called for by reason of
any inherent weakness-for they are i'll a
perfectly sound and healthy condition
but merely as measure of self-d defense and
mutual protection, and as means of af-
fording relief to the business community.

The Republicans of Anne Arundel
county have got into snarl that seems to
be nearly incapable of successful unravel-
ling. Of the twelve nominees of the late
County Convention eight have resigned
The Annapolis Gazette, in reply to the que
ries of correspondent as to what ought to
be done, says ''that the late Convention is
dissolved by the adjournment sine die, and
there is no authority that can resuscitate
it and bring it into being again. Other
measures must be speedily taken to convene
the Republicans party by ordering
new primaries or mass convention. Eli
Their Of these modes can be selected by the
executive members of the State Central
COMMITTEE for this county We therefore
suggest mass convention TO make tick

Mrs. Surratt,s Chains.

Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm, of Pittsburg,
writes to the New York Tribune in contra
dlctlon of Gems. Hartranft and Holt that
she knows Mrs. Surratt was manacled
while she was imprisoned and on trial at
Washington, as she heard the chains upon
her ankles when they were slightly moved.
The chains prevented her lifting her feet,
and she only slid them on the floor. Eve
ry time the chains clanked Mrs Surratt
blushed painfully. Mrs. Swisshelm sat
very near the prisoner in court, and says:
"Mrs. Surratt sat before or rather on one
side of her judges chained with links of
iron as heavy as those of log chain, and
while she sat thus she was grossly insult
ed by spectators, men and women, or things
that looked like men and women. Once
she turned pale when one of these creatures
said: I hope they'll hang her Just look
at her !! She looks lille devilp could
not bear it, but spoke out and said: She
does not look like devil. She looks like
good, kind-hearted woman, and you are
a mean coward for insulting prisoner
A man in reply said to me: She's REBEL
and l repeated, Coward! cowardp Mrs.
Surratt looked up and our eyes met. The
expression of her face will haunt me to the
grave, and thank God for the look of
gratitude it wore. Mrs. Surratts chains
were a common subject of conversation in
Washington at the time, and this morning
is the first time have ever heard any de-
NAL of the fact that Mrs. Surratt was fet-
tered as she sat YEARLY through the long
hours and days of that trial"
There are other persons who will testify
to the apparent difficulty Mrs. Surratt had
in moving about or lifting her feet at the
time of the trial.

istered; and the grand jury in such case
would indict upon proper proof, and our
courts would punish those who have vio-
lated. the law, if convicted by the petit
jury.
All good citizens ought to assist in pre-
venting imposition or fraud from being
practised upon the registers, while the reg
listers themselves ought to be thoroughly
satisfied that the person applying is EMIT
leo TO be registered before his name is put
on the list, and ought carefully to strike
off the list of voters the name of every per-
son who is dead, who has removed from
the State or Election District, or who is
registered in another Election District, SO
as to prevent, as far as lies in their power
all illegal voting. We commend the mat
ter to the registers, and ask them to be
fearless and careful in the discharge OF
their very responsible and delicate duties.

Democratic and Conservative County
Convention.

vention of Charles County assembled at

Hon. Barnes Compton then offered the
following resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolued by this Convention, represent
ing the Democratic and Conservative vo-
tiers of Charles county, that in view of the
fact that there is in the county an organic
ed and formidable party in opposition to
the Democratic party, and whereas, the
Executive Committee of that party have,
in their call for primary meetings and a
convention, avowed their purpose to nomi-
nate county ticket, now therefore, we,
the representatives of the Democratic and
Conservative party, deem it our duty and
best policy to nominate full ticket, from
State Senator to Surveyor, inclusive, and
that every delegate to this Convention
pledge himself to support the same.
On motion, the Convention then pro-
ceeded to the selection of candidate for
State Senate. Richard FL. Edelen, John
w. Mitchell and Peregrine Davis, Esq'rs.

vention by reclamation.

was next in order. The names of several
gentlemen were presented, and all with
drawn with the exception of those of A
G. Chapman and Richard P. Wall, Esq'rs
There being no opposition to these two
gentlemen they were declared the nomi-
nees by unanimous vote.
George A. HUNT, ESQ.,, was then nomi-
mated for Clerk of the Circuit Court and
chosen by reclamation, having no opposi-
ton.
Joseph Ssewart, Esq, for Register Of
Wills, was also chosen by reclamation, nc

1 nation.
