A MOribund Party.

1t is rapidly growing apparent to ever OBJ
server in politics that the Republican party
is Oh its last legs. No slillfulncss of medi-
cation, no carefuness of nursing can keep
life in it much longer.
Its passive acceptance of Democratic con-
structions of the last Civil Rights bill, its
sneers at Grants aspiration for u third term,
its suggestions, so delcatey worded, that
the North and South should affiliate with
the utmost cordially, are plain indications
that it is moribund
Not very long ago, it seemed highly proba.
Die that, at least in the South, the offices
would be in the hands ofthe negro. Repub-
lican papers were full OF advertisements of
extraordinary black men whom emapcjpa
ton had unearthed.
Their craftsmanship () was applauded,
their honesty, even their good breeding,
claimed special notice. This is no longer
the case. Who docs not see that the hand
which pushed the negro into high place and
political significance has grown feeble or else
refuses To assist him. We in Maryland who
expected to see the negro associated in DO
litical power with the whites have to-day no
such expectation. Indeed, we feel safe in
asserting that the tide which lifted him so
high is now ebbing and will leave the black
craft of Republicanism stranded on the shoals
and quicksands from which it was floated.
But this fate is not strangc-it is hardly I'M
expected. The Republican party never had
that sort of framework which promises,
which ensures permanence. 1t was shanty
run up to subserve a single purpose-that
was emancipation. When that was accom-
plished, Othello's occupations gone.
1t was crowd of men gathered to do a
specific purpose and 10 do nothing more.
They have fingered en- masse only little
longer than needed-delayed natural disin.
tegration only n short time. But the fate Of
the party is fixed The loss of the central
idea--the dropping out of the vertebral col
umn of the party as it were, has left it a
monstrosty with weak pulse The party
organs may talk big and exultingly point to
the vigor of this or that limb but the best
exertion of the party for the last twelve
months has been merely the commissions, the
twitching, the death gasping ola moribund

The KENTUCKY DEMoCRAcY.-I In the
Kentucky Democratic Convention, last week,
resolutions were passed condemnipg the in
reference of Federal power in the domestic
concerns of States The venerable Cassius
M. Clay, who has fought Democracy for q
lifetime, took an active part in the conven-
ton and pledged hims elf to canvass the State
for the Democratic ticket. Very many con-
stitution.loving old-ine Wings united with
the Democracy years ago; but there were
some who, like Mr.. Clay, could not overcome
their strong prcjudices, until fully satisfied
that the only hope of saving the country from
ruin was in the restoration ofthe Democracy
to power.

likely to prove an elephant on his hands,
however, for if they live 10 attain their ma

in Capt. Shows greenhouses; and we can
not but express our qualification at seeing so

Meteorological Record for April, 1875.

DEG.
Maximum temperature, afternoon of 30th, 70
Minimum morning of 10Th, 90
Mean temperature of the month, 4i.5S
The mean of April, 1874, was the fraction of
degree lower, but the usual range has been
from to II degrees higher for April as fur back
as my record extends.
The month has been unusually cold, with a
lower mean for some days than has been scarce
~ ever recorded for April in this latitude The
nth and 18Th gave means of 90 and 25 degrees
respectively. 1t seems probable, from reliable
reports, that damage to the extent of millions
was wrought by this cold in the territory far
ther south, embracing the lower counties of this
State along its northern limit. 1t is singular
fact the second day of this month gave the high
est mean temperature of any day in the month,
showing in striking manner how other cond-
tions and influences can make of no avail the
increasing warmth of the sun for an entire
month.
Rain and melted snow 3.04 inches. Almost
half of this fell in the storm of the 9th and 2Sth
There was snow on four days, and storm of some
Kind on 10 days. The Signal Service report an
unusual quantity of ice in the Atlantic.

MIR. George X. McGaw, of the firm of
Geo. K. McGaw & Co., grocers, of Baltimore,
is brother and not son of the late VIM.
E. McGaw, of this county. His partner,
Mr.. ]. B. Ramsay, was formerly Cashier of
the National Bank of Port Deposit. We
refer our readers to their advertisement.
Not single lumber raft has come down
the Susquehanna the present season. Ow-
ing to the depression of business, very little
lumber was cut about the head waters of the
river, last fall, and the little that was ready
when the ice broke up could not be shipped
on account of the break in the dam at Co.
lumbia. That work is now in condition to
permit the passage of RATS, but none can
come down because of low water. From
present appearances the lumber business OF
the Susquehanna will this year be a total
failure.

CUTTING AFFRAY.-On Monday afternoon,
in Bel Air, difficulty occurred between two
young men, Peter Carroll and Alvin Everett,
which resulted in Carroll being severely cut
about the neck with pocket knife in the
hands of Everett. The difficulty originated
about very trifiing matter, in regard to the
price for mending Il pair of boots On the
day named the parties met at Mr. Stagmer's
Hotel, and angry words were exchanged.
Sheriff Jarrett, who overheard the quarrel
went up to them for the purpose of prevent
ing breach of the peace. Young Carroll
was at that time standing upon the hotel
porch and Everett at the foot of the steps.
While in this position, it is stated that Everett
applied an opprobrious epithet to Carroll,
who sprang at him, and tussle ensued Be-
fore they could be separated, Everett freely
used small pocket knife, which he had
been holding in his hand With this wea-
pom he inflicted upon Carroll several severe
cuts about the cheek and neck, one cut being
dangerously near the jugular vein. Carroll
also received gaping but not dangerous
wound on the right side of the neck, EXTEND
ing nearly from the ear to the mouth. His
wounds were dressed by Drs Lee and Rich
ardson, and no serious results are apprehend-
ed. Everett was Immediately arrested by
the Sheriff, but released upon bail for his
appearance at Court The occurrence is
deeply regretted by the friends of both par
ties

A FINE COLLECTION OF RARE PLANTS
We had the pleasure recently of visiting the
greenhouses of Capt. Charles II. Snow near
| Edgewood, and were surprised and delighted
to find so large and varied a collection of
rare and beautiful plants in our county.
They arc contained in three greenhouses,
one 80 by % feet, and two others 10 by 40 feet
i'll size The heat is supplied by large fur
naces, which keep up an even temperature
throughout the winter So admirably are,
the houses adapted in temperature, moisture,
NC, to the wants ofplants, that no idea can
be formed the wonderful luXuriance of
growth and bloom. Magnificent cumelias
raise their queenly heads above their hum
bier floral companions, and geraniums OF
almost every hue and color attract the eye on
every side Modest fuchsias bend their heads
in graceful loneliness while the air is redolent
with sweet perfumes from hundreds of less
conspicuous flowers. Captain Shows col
lection oforchids or air plants alone embraces
not less than two hundred varieties, and is
probably the largest and best in the State,
being estimated to be worth at least $4,000
Many of the plants of this species are re-
markably curious and produce flowers of
singular beauty. They were obtained chief
ly from South America and the West India
Islands, and some OF them are still growing
upon the identical limbs of trees from which
they were cut by Indians in the forests of
Rrnyil Inst m q M To-,
OF curious and fantastic shape, growing luxu-
rian,ly on pieces of bark, boards, limbs of
trees, &c, without particle of earth to feed
the roots, which are seen seeking their nour-
ishment in the air ITSELF One specimen, the
name of which We will not venture to re-
peat, appeared to be nothing but straight
stem, not unlike piece of asparagus with
no root at all, on the end ofwhich was borne
singular flower Another source of inter-
est was the large collection of ferns, embrace
ing several hundred distinct varieties of both
native and foreign growth. Altogether Cap
tain Shows collection Of plants probably
embraces more varieties than any other anna
teur collection in the State, and some plants
he has, if lost, could scarcely be replaced in
this country He is thoroughly scientific
florist, and appears TO have the whole NOM
enclature of Floras kingdom at his tongues
end. Like all lovers of flowers, he never
wearies of showing them and praising their
beauty. Capt. Snow appears to be quite as
successful in the culture of trees and shrubs,
as he is with flowers. He has a fine pear
orchard of 900 trees, now all covered with
blossoms, promising large yield, besides
large number of choice roses and other hardy
shrubs.
| Among the curiosties to he seen in Capt.
Shows greenhouses are two lively young
alligators, sent 10 him from Jacksonville,
Florida. They are some twelve or fourteen

WINDSOR COUNTY FAIR.

The Windsor County Fair may be
fully set down as success. How
ever, the managers can claim but little
for their share. Local causes, such as
the opening of the Woodstock Rail
road, walking, etc, brought the
crowd, and that is about all there is to
a fair, anyway. When you see one
far you see all of tham-eXcept the
people-and if you should attend all
the fairs, you would see different peo-
pie and different phases of human ma
ture, and this is what makes the
Fairs. Big pumpkins and rutabagas
are about the same at all such places.
The first day of the fair opened
well, and the weather was delightful.
Wednesday morning the clouds hung
heavy, and at about 10 o'clock a drlz
zllng ram set III Whlch continued more
or less all day, but it did not deter the
people from coming by rail and other
ways. Thursday was cloudy, "driz-
zliog' and cold, and about 4 O'Clock it
set in for steady rain, which ended
the Fair of 1875. The "hoss" trots
were erciting OF course to those who
participate in such sports. If these
/ sshoss trots" could be struck from fair
programmes entirely, it would be the
very best thing that could happen to

I'EHE deEEb G'AEsEA-laATE.

The old farm-gatc hangs, sagging down,
On rusty hinges, bent and brown
It's latch is gone, and, here and there
It shows rude traces Of repair
That old farm gate has seen, each year,
The blossoms bloom and disappear;
The bught-green leaves of spring unfold,
And turn to autumn'S red and gold.
The children have upon it clung
And, in and out, with rapture swung,
When their young hearts were good AM
pure,
When hope was fair and faith was sure.
Beside that gate, have lovers true
Told the old story, always new;
Have made their VOWS have dreamed o.
bliss,
And sealed each promise with kiss.
The old farm-gatc has opened wide
To welcome home the neW-made bride,
When llacs bloomed, and locusts fair
With their sweet fragrance filled the air.
That gate, with rusty weight and chain
Has closed upon the solemn train
That bore her lifeless form away,
Upon dreary autumn day,
The lchcns gray and MOSES green
Upon its rotten posts are seen;
Initials, carved with youthful skill.
Long years ago, are on it still.
Yet dear to me above all things,
BY reason of the thoughts it brings,
Is that old gate, now sagging down.
On rusty hinges, bent and brown.
