Political Notes.


In the Fifth Congressional District Of
MARYLAND the Prince Georges county Dem
ocrats have elected delegates to the Con-
vention under instructions to vote for Hon.
Fendall Marbury for the nomination Iu
the Sixth district the Montgomery county
Convention have pledged the vote of their
delegates to Hon. Montgomery Blair. DIR,
Henkle and Judge Tuck are competing
for the nomination in the Fifth district,
and each is now hard at work to control
the Anne Arundel county delegation.
The Republican primary meetings in AL
legany county were held ON Tuesday, and
SO far as heard from a majority Of the
delegates are for Mr.. Lowndes On the
same day the Garrett County Convention
chose delegates to the district convention
who are instructed 10 vote for Mr.. Lowndes.
The Democratic delegates from Washing
ton county TO the convention of that party
will probably 60 to it under instructions
to vote for Mr. syester.
LEAVING A SINKING SmIP,--The Belle
fonte (Pa.) Watehma', published at the
home Of Ex-Governor Andrew G. Curtin,
says =" We are not specially authorized
to speak for him, but the country may
take our word for it that Gov. Curtin Is
not any longer acting with the Republican
or Radical party, nor has he for long
time. Be assured, Democrats and Con-
sentative white citizens of Pennsylvania,
that We shall have the assistance and the
best wishes Of Andrew G. Curtin for Dem
ocratic success this fall He is with us,
heart and soul, aud although We have not
heard him so state, VIC believe that his
eloquent words will be heard for us upon
the stump"
In the Republican State convention at
Harrisburg, the Presidential question was
introduced, most probably to test the
strength Of tho third-term proposition.
Gov. Hartranft was nominated for Presi-
dent IN 1876, in seconding which Mr..
Cooper said, "Not even an angel from
heaven, much less Grant, could be elected
to third term" The Hon. o. J. Dickey
"thought il necessary that other States
besides Pennsylvania should present their
candidate to put stop to the third-term
business Mr.. Allison replied that "in
the event Of Grants nomination he would
be supported unanimously by the Repub
licans Of the country" Whatever Grants
aspirations may be, it is not within the
rcmotest probability that he will receive
the nomination of the Republicans, much
less an election.--AhOoHa Tribune, Re
publican paper.
Vice President Wilson was at Long
Branch on Tuesday week, and is reported
TO have said that General Grant is a can
didate for another Presidential term, but
that he is a candidate inside the lines of
the Republican party; and that when he
makes the discovery, which he will surely
make before many moons have passed
that the Republican party is casting about
for new man--the President will use all
his power and patronage, as far as he may
use il, in behalf Of the nomination OF
Elihu b. Washburne by the National Re
publican convention of 1876.
Rumors come from Harrisburg to the
effect that the Hon. Simon Cameron con-
templates resigning his seat in the United
states oenatei ahu mas Iormeu an aulauee
by which his son, Don Cameron, will sue
coed him. The exposure is said to have
been made by friend of Judge Butler,
who was lately defeated by another Re-
pu9hcan ior tue ONCE Oh supreme Judge
Of Pennsylvania.
