Your correspondent also states, in this con-
nection, that "anoiher gentleman said after

Datchman, without money, is no better than
a negro This expression, by many, is also
erroneonsly attributed to me. NV ancestors
were partly Germans, and entertain for
them the kindest regard.
Yours, very truly,
JOHN I. ENS0R,
Republican Candidate for Congress,
Second Congressional District, Nd.
We cheerfully give place to the forego-
ing card. When the accuracy Of our
correspondent was called in question, we
inquired of citizen of Taneytown, who
heard Mr.. Ensor's speech, what he did
say, His reply was, in substance, that
perhaps our correspondent had not given
Mr.. Ensors exact words or meaning.
According to his own recollection or nm
derstanding Of Mr., Ensor remark, it was
this that the Democrats Of the South
were thieves and murderers, and those
who conceded with them were no better.
II would have been more satisfactory if
Mr.. Ensor had stated what he really did
say. Nevertheless We have given place to
his disclaimer.
His language, reported in his own or
gan, is very little better than that attribu-
ted to him by our correspondent 1t shows
the unkindly feeling which Mr., Eusor
cheriShes in his breast against the Demo
cratic party, and is in strong contrast with
the tone and temper Of the foregoing card.
The Sentinel Of the 18th, reports Mr.,
Ensor as follows ;-"Mr. Ensor spoke for
nearly an hour on the principal political
topics Of the day, of the fearful and terri
bic crimes perpetrated on the white and
black Republicans of the South, and de-
moastrdted that those outrages were being
daily committed IN pursuance Of hc es-
tablished practice cfthe Democratic party,
whose cry has always been RULE OR
RUIN.
The intimatiou in the Seatiaet that the
letter Of our correspondent originated in
the Aarocate Office is unfounded, We
have the letter in our possession.

That Grant is pledged, by his second in
augural, to the success Of the Civil Rights
Bill while Messrs Lowudes, Hagner,
Goldsborough and Ensor, have put them
selves in antagonism toiheir party on that
question. A house divided against itself
shall not stand. Four Republican candi-
dates for Congress, in Maryland, have been
compelled to abandon this pet scheme of
Radicalism, in Difference to public senti-
ment in this State. But, don't trust them;
If they can be driven out of rapport or
agreement with their party, they could be
driven in again, if clothed with represen-
tative trust in Washington. If you don't
want mixed schools vote the Democratic
ticket.

The Oivii Rights BlIl--what is III


This bill has passed the United States
Senate, and Is now pending in the House
Of Representatives. The elections NEXT
TUESDAY win determine its fate.
What does this bill propose to doG
II is intended to override the right of
the people of the States to pass laws to
govern themselves
Il forces, by law Of Congress, the
children of white parents to associate
with negroes as their equals in the public
schools.
II forces the officers of colleges aud in-
situations Of learning to take negroes along
with white students.
II forces hotel-keepers to receive ne
groes as well as white guests,
II forces the managers of cemeteries to
bury the negroes side by side with the
whites.
It forces the managers Of theatres and
places Of public amusement to seat the ne
groes by the side of the whites.
II forces tho churches built by tho
money of white people, and congregations
which support them, to give negro any
seat he demands.
1t forces the managers Of hospitals to
receive negroes as well rs whites.
Tho penalty for violating any of the
provisions of this bill is a fine of one fhoa-
sand dollars, and imprisonment for one
year, and five hundred dollars to every
negro who sues for his moiety.
The provisions Of this bill apply to all
the States North and South.
The negroes have the same political
rights now as the white men. Our Ger
man, Irish, English aud other naturalized
citizens haze no such special legislation for
their benefit. They must take care Of
themselves. Shall the negro be the only
class Of people who are to have special
laws for their benefit Is the negro 10
have special privileges enforced by special
laws, and the white man made to pay and
so to prison if he objocts2
We appeal to the white race, to the men
and women of the white race, to repel,
with every influence at their command,
the attempt of the Radical party to de-
grade them to the level of the negro.
The most monstrous provision of this
Civil Rights Bill is that 1hieh giires tho
negro a bride Of fre hundred dollars TO
prosecute, tine and imprisoa The 'ohite man.
Never before in any civilized State was
such law ever proposed to be inflicted
on people.

The Outlook in New York.

Upon careful survey of the field ii
would look as if the Democrats and Lib
erals could hardly fail to make a gain Of
eight members in this State at the Noyem-
Der election. This number, when added
to the nine they now have, would give
them a majority Of the delegation. Under
any circumstances such result would be
highly desirable, while in the event of the
election Of the President devolving upon
the House it might be Of extreme impor-
tanee--M y Saa

A Democratic House.

The glorious news from the West has
caused every Democratic heart to rejoice !;
and although we may not secure working
majority in the next House of Represen-
tatives, yet the indications are that If we
gain in like proportion in the % States
yet to elect, that result is within the range
of strong probability. The truth is, the
people all over the country are tired of
Radical rule, and are determined to break
the shackles that have so long held them
down, and the indications all over the
country are that in 1876 we shall elect
Democratic President by an overwhelming
majority.

How Goes the Battle :

Prominent Republicans in Washington
concede the election of Mr.. Tilden, and a
Democratic gain of several Congressmen
in New York. Massachusetts, Republicans
express the fear that CASTOR, Democrat,
will be elected Governor of the Bay State.
A member Of the Pennsylvania Republi-
can Committee has declared that he would
not be surprised if Pennsylvania goes
Democratic. Republican politicians also
concede. Democratic Congressional gains
in Michigan, Virginia and Wisconsin.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.-The follow
ing notice of the marriage of the Hon
Elias Ware, of Baltimore city, formerly
speaker Of the House of Delegates, will be
read with interest by his numerous friends
and acquaintance throughout the State
The lady is said to be in affluent circum-
stances. It's from the Portsmouth (0hio)
Times of October II;
"Mrs. Levenia Dugan, widow of the late
Th0s. Dugan, was married to the Hon. Elias
Ware, OF Baltimore, on the 18th inst There
is spice Of romance about the twain which
we propose to tell. In their younger days
they were betrothed, but the course of true
love, which poets tell us never did run
smooth, sundered them and Levenia Mackey
became Leyenia Dugan. Mr.. Ware married
another lady and returned TO Maryland.
Since then he has been frequently honored by
the people Of Maryland, and at one time was
Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates.
Mr.. Ware lost his wife some time since, and
last fall Mrs. Dugan became widow. The
broken threads Of love were gathered up and
marriage was the result. Quite a number
Of the friends Of the bride in this city were
present at the marriage ceremony

Let every Democrat remember that the
ranks Of the enemy are broken, their col
umns demoralized and their leaders dis
heartened Now Is the time to press
forward with vigor and energy to complete
the grand triumphs that have been achiev-
ed IN other States Tho day is dawRing
victory is certain If each Democrat viii do
his duty at the polls on the 3rd day Of
November next. The time for argument
is past-the time Tor work has arrived
let every Democrat be at his post.

Some Of the Radical organs have very
improperly introduced religious questions
Into this political canvass They have at
tempted to get up crusade against three
of the Democratic candidates, because, as
they allege, they are Catholics. This is

showing itself ia spite of its former con
demnation by the people Whatever MIR.

Tending the white man, on one side, and the

sides.

Ashamed Of t.

-Four Of the Republican candidates for
Congress, in this State, are either ashamed
Of the Civil Rights Bill, or afraid Of its
effect upon the white electors. But, let
il not be forgotten, that Grant is committed
to it. That Dawes, Of Massachusetts, says
il is the dying legacy Of Charles Sumner
70 the Republican party, whose mission
viii not be fulfilled until it has passed that
measure. That Gerrit Smith says they
only want zone more chance" in Congress
to pass the bin. Let every voter opposed
to mixing the whites and blacks III the

cert rooms, vote the Democratic ticket.

We take the following from the Glen Rock
ITEM Of Friday last;
Work is scarce, in this section. Many of
our laboring men have no employment for
the winter. Things look rather dreary at
present especially to those who have large
families to support and no employment, nor
any prospect for any.
We have been informed that on Monday
last the dwelling Of Mr.. Geo. Gerbriek, near
Hoiiman's paper mill, was entered and n
considerable sum Of money with other valua-
bes was distracted thercfrom. The villain
who perpetrated the deed was a white man in
the disguise Of negro. He drove the family
from the house and then took the money and
other yaluables and left. The party has at
this writing notbeen detected, but very strong
suspicious are centering on a party not far
from the community where the Yillainous
transactions took place.

The Federal ONCE Holders.

The Office hslders under the Federal
Government are working for their bread
and butter in the pending Congressional
canvass. Not less than a dozen of them,
are booked for different meetings in Fred
erick county. The Baltimore Gazette
says:
The Federal Office holders in Baltimore
must have "a gay and festive time generally,
and their duties must be exceedingly light.
How so many gentlemen holding responsible
positions under the Federal Government can
be spared from their Offices at once, is one of
those things which no fellow, If he be a Dem.
acrat, can find out. OF course they do not
draw, nor would they receive any salary, for
the time spent in interfering with the cleo.
tons in Frederick county, particularly those
who arc non-residents, and necessarily not
voters there.
After publishing the list Of this bread
and butter brigade, the Gazette continues:
The above is certainly pretty showing for
the party Of "Retrenchment aud Reform, y
and "Ciyil Service Regulations etc. Can
not Secretary Of the Treasury Bristow, Post
master General Jewell, and Attorney General
Williams find employment in their respective
offices for their subordinates, or it is to be
understood that their business consists in
interfering in eleetions2n Maryland is not
