For month the air has been full of fail

have been no more signs of panic than if a
failure had not occurred for twelvemOnth.

feeling in the public mind than that of sym

condition of the country is sound and
healthy, it has been given by these failures.
Other great and seemingly unacc0untable
failures may, indeed must occur as long as
the sOlvency of strong firms is measured BY
the gliding scale of fuctuating currency,
But except for the curse Of rag money, the
commercial interests of the country are

sections nearer the city. Those who live
furthest from New York must, of course, be
the first to purchase in order to get their
goods home and assorted in time for the
regular trade. The abundant grain crops,
and the good prices for grain, ought to

The sunerlngs Of Clara Morris.

The New York correspondent of the Bal
timore american gives sad news of Clara
Morris. He writes: II vas known that
she suffered much before leaving for
Europe. and even during her last series of
performances many times she was carried
faanting from the stage, and only recovered
by the strength OF a mighty will, which i'm
PEELED her to the conscientious performance
OF what she had undertaken. Her disease
was most distressing. 1t was curvature of
the spine, originating in privation in child
hood, and rooted by want of the proper at
tention and treatment in later years. Three
years ago it could probably have been
arrested, but 1T was crisis In her profess
sion, and upon success in surrounding
many obstacles her whole future seemed
to to depend p;, Naturally ay' slso, her friends
the profoundly serious nature OF her
troubles, and that complete recovery would
follow intervals of rest and the various
methods of treatment recommended BY ct
tending physicians. During the past sum
mer, however, the development of the dis
else has been rapid. A sea voyage failed
ter, and the fiat of the highest medical au-
thorities abroad confirmed her worst fears,
and condemned her to terrible operation,
the same to which Charles Sumner submit
ted for the cure of the same disease. Its
main feature is the burning of the flesh of
the back from the neck down to the waist
with red-hGt irons. This horrible torture
poor Clara M1fris has endured. The opera
ton was perforated in Paris, in the presence
Of Mrs WOrthingtOn, Dom Piatt's sister-in-
law, who has been travelling with her; Mrs.
Cleveland, her daughter; Miss Gabrielle
Greeley, and Sir William BelmOre, the at
tending physician. Her medical attendants
wished her to take chl0roform, but she re-
fused, and heroically bore the frightful
agony until the cruel process had been re-
peated four times. Then the pain and smell
of her own burning flesh became too much
for her. Nature, even her brave nature,
could stand no more, and she tainted dead
away; nor were they certain for long time
whether consciousness could be restored, or
that the vital spark had not been tortured
out Of Its socket. 1t WAS impossible there
fore to complete the operation, which re-
quires. that the process of burning be re-
peated six times, but whether it will be re-
peated when the patient gains strength is
not certainly known. Her husband, Mr..
Harriott, has suffered scarcely less than his
wife in his absence from her. Added to his
anxieties on her account, has been the
dangerous illness of his brother, and partner
in business, who u not expected to live

creditors dollar for dollar. The Morning
CAL, partly owned by Mr.. Simonton. the
New York agent of tie Associat I'd Press, q
deadly enemy of Mr.. Ralston, had this
statement in its own columns ON the day in
question:
Mr.. Ralston, who looked wonderfully
self-possessed and tree from agit alton, mo-
toned everybody into a seat, and observing
that the secretary hal not finished the
transcription from a rough jotting on which
he was engaged, he broke the silence.
Gentlemen he remarked. Just wait a
moment before you commence taking notes.
will make few remarks which l do not
care to have taken down. OF course, IN the
confusion that has taken place to day and
during this afternoon, it has been impos-
sible for us to do anything. 1t is our object
sent to the public. A resolution is being
prepared here which we will give you for
publication in the morning papers, and it
tells all that We have to say for the present
upon the subject. / will add, on my own
behalf, however. as an officer of the bank,
that there is no question whatever Of the
ability of the bank to meet all its obliga-
besides, without any reservations"
And so satisfied was the Alta California
with MIR. RalstOns statement that in its dis.
play heads it had the following lines: 1.-THE
assets more than equal to the liabilities.
Every depositor to receive dollar for dol
lar"
Now, if it was inexcusabe to transmit
such intelligence as that which the Asso-
ciated Press sent to its customers on August
27-tor it is we'll known that the bank will
resume very shortly-what shall be said to
the conduct of the managers of that concern
on subsequent days, when the condition Of
the bank had been fully explained, and
when it was we'll ascertained that it's re-
sources were fully equal to all the Iegiti-
mate demands that could be made on the
institution! And what ails our business
men that they tolerate the outrages of these
twin monOpolies, the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and the Associated Press!

Our respected contemporary, the Baltimore
american, thinks we have undertaken hope
less task in our war upon party corruptionists.
Are we to sit with folded hands and shed tears,
whilst the Rings work and win? 1t strikes us
that the manly course is 10 appeal to the peo-
Pile, and redouble our efforts to arouse them to
a sense of their responsibility, for the good or
bad government of the State of Maryland. So
far from our task being hopeless one, we firm
ly believe it will be such Il success that the
american itself will take courage and come to
the help of the people. The Democratic party
is the only organization that can or should con-
troll the government of the State of Maryland,
for two reasons-first, that its members pay at
least seven-tenths of the taxes paid into the
State Treasury, and second. that the Republic
can party is largely composed of non-tax-pay-
ing colored voters into whose hands it would
not be safe to trust the taxable property of the
State. 1t is not safe in any country to trust
the taxation of property TO non-taX-payerS. 1t
has been proved TO be dangerous to trust it in
this country to the recently enfranchised color
ed voters-yoted as they uniformly are by the
worst class of politicians. let the flaericdn
deny these statements, and we Wi@prove them.
Then what follows? Are we Qdixotc because
we wage just war upon Democratic corrup-
uonlSts whilst we refuse 10 be drawn out OF our
party lines to order our battle? Is our task
hopeless, with the masses of the people on our
side and only few score of evil doors oppos-
ed to US? Why if the honest citizens of Balti-
more cared half as much for the honor of Mary
land as they do for the corn exchange or the
court dockets there would not be Ring-maSter
left in the city four months hence. The entire
success of these men is due TO the criminal in
difference of your uptown gentry, and if the
State did not suffer with the city they might
well be left to their fate. Men who will no,
guard and defend their own honor and the pub
lie interests, richly merit all the shame they
suffer. But we Of the rural districts cannot
afford 10 let them suffer. We have put ouI
hands TO the pillow and intend TO plow right
down to the Subsoil in the hearts of our people
and we tell you city gentry, that the soil i:
good and will produce rich returns 10 the huS

Political Notice.

1t will be seen by notice in to-day 5
TINES that the Republican and Independ-
ent voters of this county are invited TO
meet in mass meeting, in the Court House,
on August 2Sth, to send three delegates
to the State Convention at Westminster,
on the 9Th September.
It will be seen that this is issued "by
order of the Republican State Central Com
mittee for Charles County" De ourdnde-
pendent friends belong really, body and
soul to the Radicals, that they are TINS to
meet ''by order of the Republican Commit
tee2' What sort of independence" is
this that consorts only with Radicalism
But what is the use of wasting ink talk
ing about them? What do they care by
what name they are called so ''the Doctor
does not call them too late for their share
of the offices? viii our friends of the
Indepeadent, who are SO fond of publish
ing extracts from the Baltimore american,
without comment, in favor of the '.inde-
pendent movement" respond to this kind
invitation? Wonder who the delegates
from this county are in favor of, or rather
will be in favor of? However, 'the Doc
tori will fix that. By the way, why not
start him? He is the best Republican
we know of and worth million of such
as we have here, including the hybrid
independents.
