RoBBERY Mr.. A. j Tabler, a merchant OF
Hyattstown, in the Northern portion Of the
county, HIS for some lime been missing small
sums of money from his oney-drawer, and
snspectiag a white msh and a negro In his
employ Of parloining II he kept watch on
them, on Saturday night last, by secretng
himsed ia back room adjoining the room oc-
eppied by them. After they supposed all the
members Of the family were asleep, he heard
them talking in regard to getting in the store
room, which they soon after did BY means Of
false key After entering the room the ne
gro proposed to 60 out and keep watch while
the white man robbed the drawer and got a
supply of whiskey. As soon as he left the
man commenced TO draw the whisky into a
bottle, when Mr.. Tabler stepped in on him
from the adjoining room, and he was secured.
He denied his intention TO rob the drawer, and
said he was only after the whiskey, and beg
ged hard not to be handed over 10 the officers Of
the law Mr. r agreed TO let them both go
if they would leave the county, but on Sunday
they were still in the vicinity and they remain
much longer will no doubt be accommodated
with board at the expense of the county. We
have not learned the names of either OF the
thieves.

| Here is a loss of thirteen members in these
States to the Republicans, and il New York
and Pennsylvania do not check the current OF
adverse results, there will, in all probabili-
~, be Democratic majority in the next
House. Fifty-two gains to the Democracy are
necessary TO accomplish this, and of this total
the Democrats claim they will gain twenty
members in the Southern States. With the
gains already made this will nakea total Of
thirty-three leaving nineteen 10 be gathered
from the other States. The next election 10
he held for Congressman will be in South
Carolina on Wednesday. On November I'd
and Sd the majority of the new members will be
chosen, twenty-three States holding elections
on these DAYS 30 that the political complexion
of the new Congress can then be accurately as
certained, as members will afterwards remain
to be chosen in but four small States-New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and
California-whie have, in the aggregate,
thirteen members. The whole House consists
of two hundred and ninety-two, and the pre-
sent Republican majority is one hundred and

Democrats should remember that the day OF
election will soon be upon us, and that is the
duty of each and every one Of us TO work late
and early for the success of our ticket. If we
wish TO succeed, we must not stand idly by
and hope TO do SO through divisions in the
ranks Of the enemy. II is true they are some
what demoralized but they are making her.
cnlean efforts to carry this Congressional Dis
trict. Crowds of Federal ofice-holders and
high officials will be sent into the State, and
every means, fair and foul, will be employed
TO carry the election. While we have no APP
prehensious as TO the result, we hope every
true Democrat and lover of his country will
at least devote the time from this until after
Ter the election in an earnest effort TO redeem
ihe Congress of the United States from tbs
rule Of the party now in power.

RADICAL Mass MEETING The grand rally
of the Radical party of this district came of
at the ourt-House, on Friday last, and was
one of the most solemn and spi-itess affairs
we have ever attended. Occurring, as it die,
just after the receipt Of the news of the great
Democratic victories in Ohio and Indiana, the
speakers seemed TO be sadly out Of sorts. The
meeting was organized by calling Maj John
g. England TO the chair The Major on TAX
ing the chair INDUCED in a few remarks TO
the voters, urging them to come forward and
support the ticket and saying that this was
no time 10 be too particular as to the nominee
as the party needed the support of all its
members He also reminded his colored friends
of their duty, and said, ''When the Republi
can party dies il will be a sorrowfal day for
u." He spoke in bis usual fluent and grace
full style, and at the conclusion of his remarks
introduced Hon. Lloyd Lowndes. Mr.. L.
advanced TO The table bearing in his arms an
immense portfolio, and we supposed that the
Democracy would hardly survive the on
slaught but we were agreeably disappointed.
his record made in Congress; he tried hard TO
prove that his opponent. Mr. Walsh, was not
consistent Democrat-that he had bolted
nominations and would not be supported by
his party. He tried to explain his vote against
tile Civil Rights bill by saying its passage
would break up all the public schools in Mary
land and leave the poor negroes TO educate
their children AT their own expense, but took
good care not to say he was opposed TO the
principle of the bill AT this point he APP
peared to entirely fail in making himself un-
derstood-and drawing forth written speech
he began TO read il; and he really did read it
like a little man, but it did not amount to
much.
Col. Gilpin, of the Baltimore Custom House,
followed Mr.. L., in quite creditable little
speech. He commended the course of Mr.. L.,
and claimed that he was the hardest working
representative this District ever had in Con-
gress. We are not disposed to deny this as
serliop, If he had any speeches 10 make. Al
the conclusion of Col Gilpin's remarks, he
was family applauded and was followed by
Mr. Francis Miller.
Mr.. Miller INDUCED in his usual harangue,
and of course exhibited to his colored friends
the raw head and bloody bones Of the ku- klux
in the South. He spoke of the sudden ICON
version" Of some OF the Democratic leaders
and said he had but little faith in their De-
mocracy. In regard to Sudden conversion, u
he ought to be pretty well posted, as he has
been wandering in and out of both parties fol-
several years. Francis, at present, professe.
great antipaihy 10 Democrats, and said he new.
er saw Democratic head but what he felt like
punching" it. Frencis, If thee will go dowr
to the meeting OF the next Congress, thee vii
find Democratic heads enough TO keep the,
punching all Winter
The meeting, in regard 20 numbers and en-
thusiasm, was certainly failure, and shows
bad for the prospects of that party in OLD
Montgomery.

THE "PoLiTICAL MuRDERs. The New York
Tribune has made dligent inquiry into the
the numerous alleged political murders" in
the South Among others the Sixty poti-
cal murders in Alabama have, like The gar
den full of fighting cats, dwindled down 10
"our tom and another cat. The Billings and
Ivey murders are the only two that have &C.
Cured. The sensational letter of one Charles
Hays TO General Hanley, which has been
paraded in the partisan press as proof of the
''outrages, turns out to be tissue of false
hoods. The reign of terror is a myth, and
the State authorities are perfectly masters Of
the situation
