MORE JUNKETING FOR THE 5TH.-A
negro boy was hanged at Easton, Talbot
county, on Thursday, for rape. Two COM
panies of the Fifth Maryland Regiment
was sent down to witness the execution.
The american says:
We need not say that we regard the pres
ence of these troops as entirely unneces.
sary. An impression is sought to be con-
veyed by the correspondence that passed
between the Sheriff of Talbot county and
the military authorities that the colored
people of Easton and vicinity meditated a
rescue of the prisoner. We believe that
such an imputation is a great injustice to
the peaceable and aw-abiding colored peo-
pie of Maryland. We have received the
Easton Star, published on Tuesday, and
the Easton Journal, published on Wednes-
day, and although both papers mention the
approaching execution, neither of them
says word about any apprehended inter-
ference with the course of the law. We
infer from this that nobody at Easton had
heard Of any threats of mob violence up to
Wednesday m orning, although the arrange
ments for taking two companies of the
Fifth Regiment to Easton on the day of
the execution seems to have been made at
Long Branch nearly two weeks ago.

tX- The Democrat has an exalted opinion
perhaps we had better say fear-ef Pres
ident Grants strength and power over the
Republican party. 1t may possess its soul
IN peace. President Grant will not be
nominated by that party for third term,
and does not want to be if he could, we
verify believe.
The third term scare has come from the
Bourbon Democracy almost exclusively.
They are the manufacturers of the ghost
which frighteus them so much. But it
would crafty number of its readers, no
doubt, if The Democrat would name a
Statesman. 1t names several distinguished
Senators and Representatives in last week 8

Tell us who are the statesmen, Mr.. Demo-
erat Is Mr. Thomas F. Bayard one of
them? And if SO, when, where and how
has he manifested that remarkable quality ?

THE BEECHER.TILTON SCANDAL.

The great Brooklyn scandal is drawing
to close, and the more it is stirred and
turned over the worse Tilton's case appears.
His wife's examination before the church
committee is published at length on Tues
day, and if ever there was revelation of
domestic hell with Tilton as managing
devil, it is photographed in the examina-
ton of Mrs. Tilton. The picture which
Tilton's actions and conversations, as de-
tailed by his wife, running through course
of several years, leaves upon the mind Of
the reader of this narrative, is that of an
egotistical, jealous visionary, of the grossest
moral depravity. In short lunatic whose
appropriate sphere was mad house in
place of teacher of morality and religion,
as he assumed to be. If but the half of
what Mrs. Tilton's questioning by the COM
mittee revealed is true, Theodore Tilton is
moral monster, such as has seldom been
evolved from the brain of the widest
romantic writers. And that the major
part, if not all of her evidence is true, the
minutia Of detail and circumstances which
accompany it, strongly impress the mind
with its honesty. That Theodore Tilton,
by his conduct, owing to an extreme low
order of moral perceptions, and an inordi-
nate vanity and egetism, is the prime cause,
the centre and soul of this most infamous
scandal of modern times, no impartial OBJ
server, who has read the evidence on both
sides, or all sides, rather, of this many
sided social and religious mess, will hest
tate for a moment to believe. He now re-
fuses to have anything further to do with
the committee and in his melo- dramatic
lyle pretends he is going to take the mat,
ter int court. The report of the Commit
tee may be expected in short time, exon,
Grating Mr.. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton and
consigning Theodore Tilton to heritage
of shame, with the brand of half lunatie
and half devil upon him.

TRAMPs.-In the vain search for the
missing boy Charles Ross, band of vaga-
bonds have been arrested at Hamburg, Pa,
with a child in their possession. They
were supposed to be gypsies, but turned out
to be "tramps." This class has become
suddenly quite numerous in all the counties
within reach Of Philadelphia, ever since
the House of Correction went into opera
ton. Hard work does not agree with their
free and easy habits, and the consequence
is clearing out of many of the loafers in
the city without fixed business. The num-
Der of these is not known, but every blind
alley, lumber yard and place where loafer
can hide and sleep at night, has its human
inhabitant. Large numbers of these are
children of low families or of Cramps ;"
and out of these poor little wretches the
thieves are recruited. We should think
that before the House of Correction went
into operation fifty thousand would have
been low estimate for these lazzaroni.
At the present time almost every road
within ninety miles of the city is infested
with the fugitives, and they sleep in the
woods, under hedges, in open sheds or
beside haystacks, and beg or steal their
living, as the fruits and vegetables in the
fields are plenty or scarce.

lord" Gordon committed suicide at
Fort Garry, Manitoba, on Saturday. Two
English detectives had arrested him, and
he promised to go quietly with them if
they would not take him through the Unit
ed States. He went to his room to pre-
pare for the journey, and while there blew
out his brains. Gordon was a rascal of
superior talents, and succeeded in procur-
ing a large sum of money from Horace F.

and decamping from New York. settled in

General Ord telegraphs under date of
the 3rd instant to General Sheridan's head
quarters, that Col. Stanton has just arriv-
ed at Laramie from the agency. The
Colonel reports that a large number of
Indians are coming in from the North,
who report that Stabber, prominent in the
disturbances at the agencies last spring,
and several other Indians have been killed
by Clusters men. This has caused much
feeling among the arriving Indians and
those at the agencies. Twenty-one of the
Indians wounded in the fight with Bates
command have died of their wounds.

The Last Gift Concert Postponed.

The announcement of the postponement
of the last gift concert of the Public Lii
brary of Kentucky will not surprise the
public. In Governor Bramlett's card, pub
lished below, he gives reasons for it which
will be accepted without question by every
one. The management in this instance,
consulting the interests of ticket holders
and those designing to become ticket-hold
ers, have not waited until the last day to
make this announcement, but, just as soon
as they become satisfied of the necessity of
this postponement, have promptly made
the announcement. 1t is unnecessary to
review the causes which have necessitated
this action, as they arc fully recited in
Governor Bramlette's card. The prompt
ness and frankness with which the public
have been made aware of the intention of
the manager will meet with the hearty
commentator of every one and excite such
a new interest and confidence in the scheme
and the ability of the manager to perform
what he promises, that there can be no
doubt that on the day specified the last
concert will be full one.
PosTPONEMENT LAST GIFT CoNCERT-A
CARD To THE PUBLIC.
The announcement of the postponement
of the fifth and last concert of the Public
AiOloiy VI hOheuShy w oh0 oSeA ~ ANSN-
ember, l am satisfied, will surprise few
and disappoint none of the friends and
patrons of the enterprise. Indeed, any
other course would create dissatisfaction.
With precedent of postponement of
each of the four concerts which have
already been given, the public have very
naturally and reasonably expected that in
this, by far the largest scheme of the
series and the largest ever offered to the
world, the same course would be followed,
and there are thousands all over the coun-
try who are only waiting for the setting of
certain fred day for the drawing before
sending in their orders. The sales of
tickets to this date have been highly salts
factory, and a large drawing might be had
on the 31st of July, but, feeling assured
that short postponement would enable
us to close out the remainder Of the tickets
and make the drawing full one, we have
adopted the course which has evidently
been anticipated, and which must event.
uate most satisfactorily for all.
Now that the day of the drawing is alb
solutely determined, there remains no fur
ther occasion for delay, and I would urge
the friends of the enterprise, who intend
to purchase tickets, to send in their orders,
as it will tax my Office to its utmost capac-
ity to accomplish all that is to be done in
the short time whice remains for the sale
of tickets. THos. E. BRAMLETTE,
Agent and Manager.

THE COLORADO Potato BUG.-This enc
my to the potato seems to spread and grow
more formidable, and if the farmers do
not apply the means pointed out for their
destruction the reward of their negligence
will be a total or partial failure of the
potato crop. No newer OF more effective
remedy than Paris green seems discovered.
The disposition in the West now appears
to be to apply it with water, as more
economical of the material. One ounce
we'll stirred into ten gallons of water is
said to be sufficient, and the water is ap-
piled with watering pot. The following
is from the Lise Stock Journal, of Buffalo,
N. Y:
Remedy for the Potato Bug.-In answer
to several questions as to the best remedy
for this pest of the potato, we can only
| say that from trial of several different ones,
we find sulphuric acid, (oil of vitrieD dilut-
ed with fifty times its weight of water and
sprinkle over the vines, perfect remedy,
killing the bugs and not injuring the vines.
This is much safer than Paris green, as,
after dilution with fifty parts of water, it
is entirely safe to handle and sprinkle on
with common watering pot. This acid
is not always of the same strength, and if
tho druggists acid is obtained, use seventy
parts water to one of acid. This is also
the cheapest remedy.

The education If the GIRL az hon

The education of the girl, as house
keeper, should be begun by the mother
early, continued until the marriage of the
daughter, and no other duty of the mother,
and no other study of the daughter should
interfere with it. This and the school
education should go on simultaneously. II
anything is to be postponed let it be music
and drawing and philosophy, which, as
experience shows, are usually unattended to
