The Milford Nes0s has pungent review of the
personality Of the members Of the Legislature.
It deals sharply, but justly, with some of the So
Ions who have sat in the old Capitol thirteen
weeks, demonstrating their incapAcity to meet
the necessities OF the time.

Connecticut holds her State election on Mon
day, choosing Governor, Legislature and four
members Of Congress. Republican accounts,
which appear reliable, predict the choice by that
party Of the Governor, a majority of the Legis-
lAture, and two or probably threo, Of the Con-
greasmen.

Public opinion is against Captain Williams, of
the destroyed Atlantic. II looks as though he
must be held responsible, in large degree. for
the disaster. He was rapidly approaching q
dangerous coast, at night, but went below, leav-
ing his ship going at high speed, to the care Of
subordinate officers. The consequence was IA
tai, and we cannot feel surprised at it.

Royer's Hoof Eminent,

have tested Boyer's Hoof Liniment on the feet
Of over one hundred horses. The difference in the
condition Of the feet ia great in Its favor that
would not be without It for ten times Its cost. IL
should be properly applied to every horses hoof,
peciRlly In the Summel when the horses feet are
always in contact with the heated earth, which
dries them up and they become hard and feverian,
which produces contraction, cOrns, quarter cracks
contraction of the back sinew, commonly called
"Knee Sprung" and often from the pains in the
hoofs IL produces sweeney In the shoulder. We re-
commend 1t as the best preparation we ever used.
1t should be used on every horses hoof as common

What the Result Indicates,

The comments of the New York Journals
on the elections are very interesting. We
summarize briefly:
The Herald says: Is it not apparent, We
ask, that the public mind is at length awak-
enlng to the question Of q change? MAY not
these November elections, then, of 1873, be
applied as warning to the present domi-
hant and over-confdent Republican party a?
The W0H0 says: The success in Ohio
made 1t certain that the Democratic party
would maintain its organization. The great
victory in New York, and heimportant gains
elsewhere make it equally certain that The
night is far spent and the day is at
hand.''
The Sun says: mo one who has carefully
watched the current of events for week
past could doubt that the tide was steadily
turning against the Republicans"
The Tunes consoles its readers with the
idea that "if the Democrats have carried
through their State ticket by a small majority
they have won a barren victory. as both
branches of til eLcgislature remain Republi-
can"
The Tribune says: The results differ wide
~ rom those OF Il year ago Instead of q
sweeping endorsement of the administration
and the dominant party, there seems to be- if
'hesc results nave any meaning, WIDE
spread disattcction with both. 1t has not
been manifested in IN increased opposition
vote so much as in the failing off OF the Re,
publican. General apathy is the proper def
milton of it. The large promise of thetAdmn-
lstralion party year ago, has BEEN utterly
uniultlled, and the honest masses, MOI ready
yet in their disgust to go over entireygtp the
opposition, have contentcd themselves with a
taclt register of their protest by staying at
home and voting not at ALL.

Specie PAYMENT Demanded.

All over the country the business men, the
men who are not mere spectators, are de.
handing that the L. S. Treasury resume spc-
Gle payment. There must sometime be an
end of this paper money business. Why not
now? The gamblers of course do not want
it, but gamblers have controlled the govern
ment about long enough The people want
to see financial hard-pan. They want no
more of the tinkering and mendng of Il bad
financial system. The sick man does not
need to he gorged with dose of greenback
brandy, but requires steady diet of gold and
silver food. The Tribune states the situation
as follows:
For eleven years we have gone on doing
business with irredeemable promises We
have taken notes of each other and paid then,
with the notes of the government, which
themselves were without relations to any.

time-it has come to us-when people begin

A Good Work,

Mr.. EDITOR: l think it is duty to make
known to the community the progress and
effects of Sabbath School and Bible Glass,
organized at the Little Creek Academy, by
the Rev. Mr.. Wysong, Virginian by birth,
and itinerant minister of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, who some years since married
daughter of the late James b. Preston, of
this county He is at the head ofthe Bible
Glass every Sunday, explaining every SEN
tencc preaching every other Sabbath to the
admiration of his many hearers of different
denominations. would not attempt a eulo-
gy, for if did would be inadequate to the
task. He in reality is what might be called
primitive Christian-preaching the free
Gospel, without money and without price I;
discarding the contribution box, censuring
the excess of fashion and pleasure, too much
INDUCED in by Christian people He is by
his vigilance and eloquence, revolutionizing
our community to wonderful extent. No
one has ever been so universally welcomed
into our community as Mr.. Wysong. S.

THE ELECTION,

The result Of the election on Tuesday in
this county has been the complete vindca-
ton, once more, of Democratic principles, in
the triumphant election of our entire ticket
The vote cast, although about equal to that
of 1871, was not so large as might have been
expected considering the favorable condition
ofthe weather The colored vote, as usual,
was out in full force, while the Democratic
vote, owing to disturbing causes in its own
ranks, was not full one The average ma
jority for the Democratic State ticket in the
county is $50 votes. The following is the
county ticket elected:
For Clerk-A. L. jarrett; for the State
Senate-Col. John Carroll Walsh; for the
House of Delegates-Otho S. Lee Nathan
Grafton and Dr. David Riley; for Register
of Wills-Dr. w. S. Richardson; for County
Commissioners-Wm. Ady, of the 1st district;
j. Frank Reasin, of Cd James NJ. Cain, of
Sd; Joshua III. Scarf, of 4th; Hugh T. Heaps,
of 9th districts for County Surveyor Mar
tin McNabb.
In all the districts, so far as we could learn,
the day passed off very quietly and peaceful
ly, every voter entitled to the privilege being
allowed to deposit his ballot without let or
hindrance The partisans of each side were
jealous in behalf of their friends, but good
humor nevertheless prevailed among them
and considerable amount of "chaf1ing" was
INDUCED in.
In this election the people of Hartford have
indicated Enthusiastically their opposition to
the odous doctrines of negro supremacy
While many of the candidates upon the de-
feated ticket were unexceptionablc, as to
their personal characters, they may ascribe
their defeat to the political principles they
profess more than to q want of esteem upon
the part of their fellow-ctizens
Now that the election is over, the result
known, and the administration of public af-
fairs once more committed to safe hands, the
wisest course for all to pursue is to settle
down quietly to business, and laying aside
political prejudices let all unite their best ef-
forts for the advancement of the material in.
terests of our good old county. We publish

A FEDERAL OUTRAGE.

One Of the boldest outrages against the free
dom of election and the liberty of the citizen
that has occurred in this State since the war.
was perpetrated by the Federal authorities
Tuesday. We give the story as it reaches
US: Tuesday morning some fifteen or six
teen persons, having their residence in Anne
Arundel county, and legally entitled to vote
there, chartered the Robert J Reman, one of
the tugs in the harbor, to take them home to
vote. The tug had proceeded on its way, as
we understand, without moleslation, until off
Stony Greek, when the United States reye-
nue-cuttcr plying in these waters brought her
to by firing shot across her bows. She was
then boarded by the revenue officers, who
seized the tug and brought her and all on
8eard back to Baltimore. 1t being then
mace evident that the persons arrested on
the tug were citizens of Anne Arundel and
entitled to vote there, they were set at liber.
ty, after detention at Fort McIIcnry of sew
eral hours, but to cover up this scandalous
outrage, and to give a colorado pretext for
the seizure OF the tug and the unlawful ar
rest OF some sixteen citizens, = charge was
trumpet up against the tug of carving pas.
sengers without license, and on this subter-
fugc she was held and her papers seized.
The citizens of Anne Arundel thus summa-
rily arrested and as summarily dismissed, on
their arrival in Baltimore, made SUBSEQUENT
ly an unavailing effort to reach home by pri-
vate conveyances in time TO deposit their
ballots but falling in this they lost their votes.
Now mark the contrast. AT the very time
the Robert j. Rieman started from Baltimore
with number of Democratic voters, apoth
III tugbOat, in charge ofcustom-house officers.

"A justice of Guthrie county, Iowa, de-

that counting is a necessity, and must not be

Letter from Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. Goth, IS


MIR. EDITOR: As youapproach Chicago from
the East you enter at Kankakce the grand
Prairie of Illinois 1t is 80 miles in length and
from so to 20 wide. 1t is in fact q sea of land,
stretching out beyond the range Of vision, APP
parcntly rs level as Il floor The owners count
their acres by thousands, and many Of them
haVcas much asa thousand acres i'll corn this
season. The principal products arc wheat, hay,
corn and hogs Leaving them in their happi-
ness we speed on over the Illinois Central road,
right through the heart of the prairie to the
Prairie city, ormore appropriately called the city
of magnificent distances. Chicago is built on
the prairie fronting on Lake Michigan. 1t is di-
vided into East and West side by canal or riv-
erpassing through into the lake, navigablc by
large steamers and schooners, the entire length
of the city 1t is on this stream that most of
the large elevators are built, for which Chicago
is noted; the balance being on the lake shore.
You can count them by dozens. The rail roads
are abundant crossing and rccrossing all around
the city. They number fourteen. The b. u o.
X. Il. will have their road completed TO this
place by the first of December next. They now
have 1000 men at work on it. The hotels just
completed here are said to be the finest in the
country, not excepting the Grand Central, New
York. The Grand Pacific and Palmer House
front on three streets, cover threc-fourths of
square cach are seven and eight stories high,
are made OF marble and granite, finished in the
grandcst style. Then there is the fremont,
Sherman, Burdick and host Of Others beauti-
full to behold.
There is scarcely trace of the fire to seen.
Where two years ago was a mass of ruins are
now solid blocks of magnificent stores, ware
houses and dwellings, with here and there a
small lot which has not been taken up. The
city is very long, hence the name Of magnificent
distances. You can get in the horse cars and
ride from one end of the city to the other, dis
lance OF about eight miles.
must not close without calling attention to
the dry goods house of Fields, Letter ~ Co.,
said to be the third largest in this country. They
keep 90 express wagons continually hauling
and delivering goods, and employ 240 statesmen,
clerks, book-keepers, &c, in their two houses
up and down town.
SO much for Chicago, the queen city and great
metropolis of the West.
