The Republican Party in Maryland.

The Baltimore Anesrcaa Of Tuesday
last. published the following notable arti,
Gle
" We arc in receipt Of large number OF
communications urging a reorganization Of
the Republican party Of the State, the choice
ofa,new State Central Committee, complain
ing Of the interference and control Of every
thing pertaining to party organization BY
oliiceholders, and accusing some of them OF
selecting Democrats for their subordinates in
preference to Republicans To all such cor
respondents we would respectfully state that
we fought this fight two years ago for the
preservation Of the Republican organization,
predicting at the time all the disasters and
disruption which have since followed. The
whole powerof the Administration was exerted
in favor Of the disorganizers, and we, and
those who labored with us, were insulted and
refused hearing. We retired from the field
disgusted, and resolved to have nothing more
to do with party affairs. II the present man.
agement Of Maryland politics is satisfactoryto to
those who have the interests Of the party in
charge at Washington, We see nothing that can
be gained by the publication Of these com.
plants. We, and all those who worked with
rs in building up the Republican party in
Maryland, have no more influence at Washing
ton than the procession cf newsboys and boot
blacks who marched up Baltimore street few
days since. Hence we would recommend those
who are seeking relief to send their commu'
nications to the Congressional Republican
Committee at Washington, who viii doubtless
give them hearing.

quiet and unobtrgsiye deportment-pursuing
the even tenor Of his way without an unkind
thought towards single human being, orex.
citing the ill-will Of any, he could not have
had an enemy. Possessed, apparently, of no
ambition beyond spending quiet and retired
life in the bosom Of hisloving family ard cir.
Gle Of intimate friends, he did not rise 10 tha,
public prominence which bis education and
abiiity qualified him for. He has now departed
from our midst as quietly as he lived; vel his
name and worth, as n man and citizen, will
ever be pleasantly remembered by all.

Destructive Hurricane in Frederick Co

A special despatch from Frederick, to
the Baltimore San, dated September 9th,
says One Of the most terrific storms
ever experienced in this section of country
passed over several portions Of Frederick
county between the hours Of four and Ave
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Much hail
fell at MiddIetown and vicinity, doing
considerable damage to the fruit crop and
breaking hundreds of panes Of glass.
During the prevalence Of the storm many
large trees were uprooted or broken of,
and much fencing blown down. At
Jefferson, eight miles from this city, the
storm ragged most fercely There opposing
currents Of air seem to have met, causing
hurricane to sweep over the neat little
village, unroofng many houses, churches,
barns, &c. The Methodist Protestant
church, a large brick building, was laid in
complete ruins The roof and rear gable
end of the new Lutheran church were
torn away, the walls crushing through the
floors and carrying with them the pulpit,
chaneel, &c. injuring il to the extent of
about three thousand dollars. The Re-
formed church was also slightly injured.
Large girders were borne by the force of
the wind to distance of two hundred
feet. Great distress is felt BY the people
Of this little town at their severe visitation.
The total damage is estimated at about
twenty-five thousand dollars During the
storm Mr.. David Specht, an aged and
estimable farmer, living on the Manor, was
almost instantly killed by falling tree.
Several houses are reported to have been
struck by lightning near Walkersville also,
but not seriously damaged.
