CAPT. WELLS The election is over, and
whilst the negroes and their white allies have
succeeded in carrying the county ticket,
think the victory has certainly been on the
Democratic side. At the last regular election
they beat us some three hundred votes, and this
time their majority in the county is only thirty
and this too when all their forces, their Federal
influence and their money was brought to bear,
and think they can truthfully say that an
other such victory will undo them The writer
feels perfectly sure that if the negroes had been
permitted to vote their sentiments, that the
Democrats would have carried the county by at
least one hundred votes and the white renegades
know it full well.
But, sir, We have one great consolation, that
whilst such men as we had on our ticket have
been defeated, they have not been injured po-
litically, socially or otherwise, and that they
have come out of this campaign with laurels
untarnished with the consoling reflection and
knowledge that they have, during the entire
canvass told the people the truth the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, and that they
can again enter upon the field at the next cleo
ton with prospects brighter-ah far brighter
than those who have obtained their county Off
ces by means of trckery and deception The
Radical candidates said to the negroes ooh,
we will get Mr.. Harris for Governor, and we
will certainly have majority in the Legisla-
ture and then we will see that our colored
friends are taken care of; that you have full
share of offices, &C., that you are made Asses
sors, Justices OF the Peace &c. Well, Mr..
Harris is not elected, their county candidates
are elected by the smallest kind of a majority,
we have large working majority in the Legis-
lature, and do not think our successful coun-
ty candidates have any thing to brag Of and
neither do think that their influence either at
home or in the State at large will entitle them
to any great amount of power or consideration.
Mr.. Editor, we, the Democrats of Charles
county, undaunted by the small majority cast
against us, on the I'd instant, will pick flint and
try it again with renewed energies at the next
election, and we feel sure that we will over
come the small Radical vote against us. We
are the more assured of that fact as we know
there were many more colored voters who
would have voted the Democratic ticket than
would have secured US majority had they not
been deferred by threats from their colored fell
low-citiZens, and we intend in future to see

A New Food for Horses and Sheep.

A favorite and rather new kind of mash
for horses is coming into use, composed OF
two quarts of oats, one OF bran, and half .
pint of flax-seed. The oats are first placed
in the stable bucket, over which is placed
the linseed add boiling water, then the
bran, covering the mixture with an old
rug and allowing it to thus rest for five
hours then stir the mass we'll up. The
bran absorbs while retaining the vapor,
and the linseed binds the oats and bran
together. \ greater quantity of tlaXseed
would make the preparation too oily and
less relished. One feed per day is sutfi-
Gent 1t is easily digestible and is speci-
ally adapted to young animals, adding to
their volume rather than to their height
giving substance to the frame.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia

leaves generally begin to fall in October,
after the first frost, and continue to do SO
during the month. Then very generally,
when all the leaves have fallen, there comes
a cold rain and bitter frost, fermentation
and decomposition of vegetation. Great
heat is produced by decomposition, which
adds warmth to the earth. causing that

until near the end of November And it

We are gratifed to learn that the Festi-

on Tuesday last, was decided success.
A large company partook of their bounte-

and Petit Jurors, and after getting through
all felt that they had eaten to their entire
satisfaction and that more would have

ladies, which considering the shortness Of

better than we had anticipated. At one

Tobacco inspections.

| CAPT. WELLS, Dear Sir: The Farmers want
full value for their Tobacco, and most of them
think that, by the present Inspection System,
| (the appointments and patronage being mixed
up with corrupt politics of any or all political
parties, their interests in the matter are Sc
condary considerations with politicians As
Changers, we desire free licensed system OF
private inspections. By it, being free from
political influences and appointments, the ele-
walton of the standard of our samples will OBJ
tain prices which will compare with any other
market. As Changers, we desire fair packing,
and when such is the case, what care we wheth-
er the inspection is performed by Jew or Cen
tile? Private inspections will cure false pack
ing and is the only remedy know of at this
time. If the Tobacco Warehouses should be
rented out, it does not follow that the farmers
will not have Inspectors licensed to suit them
selves. | would infer that individual enter
prise will establish private warehouses, and
with that competition we will not be compelI-
ed to entirely rely upon the public warehouses
Until that happens we will be obliged 10 re-
tain the public warehouses for rental or lease
am opposed TO selling the site of warehouses
No. and 2. Why should we wish 10 burden
the Tobacco interests with the cost of building
warehouses for renting, while private inspec-
ton may be successful? And if the expert
ment should be success, we may desire TO sell.
Why should the Tobacco interest be taxed to
build up railroad corporations, by building at
Canton and Locust Point? If vast corpora
tons desire to attract business to these points
let them build the convenences and offer in
ducements, and if they are not willing to do
that let them leave us TO manage and locate for
ourselves.
Separate the inspection from politics, substi-
tute private inspection for the present system,
lease out the warehouses for two years. let the
State authorities license as many inspectors as
are willing TO pay with the restrictions mpos-
ed upon them by law, let the Tobacco produc-
ers patronize whom they please, let the Patrons
of Husbundry appoint an agent for each To-
bacco-growing county to consult and sell to-
gether, and then We will have accomplished

SauSaSeS.
In an article on sausages, a correspond

In an article on sausages, a correspond
ent of the Germantown Telegraph says:
Sausages are made as a convenient meth
cd of preserving many kinds of meats that
it would be difficult to keep long in any
other mode. The principle of making is
simply to cut fine, (Which is to be prefer
red,) grinding or pounding the particular
kind of meat employed, seasoning it with
spices, herbs and condiments of various
kinds, and in such proportions as are
agreeable. Then the whole is either en-
closed in portions of the prepared intes-
tines or cleaned skins of the smaller ami
mails, viz: hog, sheep, calf ETC., well wash
ed and scraped till thoroughly clean; or
the use of small cotton bags, suitably pre-
pared; while Others again pack closely
down in stone jars, securely covered from
the light and air, and kept in cool place
undisturbed.
The Germans are famous for their vari-
Gus preparations of sausages, in which
smoked meats are generally used. But of
this we may also speak at another time

was employed by Williams to distraln
a tenant who was in arrears for rent
Groves did so and sold the property,
which Williams bought to the amount
of his debt. Groves then claimed that
in addition to his costs and poundage
tees he was entitled to per cent. COM
missions on the amount collected. This
claim was made first under special con-
tract and then on the ground that it was
a general custom to pay the officers this
commission. The Court decided there
was failure of evidence sufficient to
prove either special contract or general
custom and therefore Groves could not re-
cover Brent for Groves. W. Mitchell

their sentiments.
Let any candid voter of fair intellect look at
the defeated Democratic candidates, and then
at the elected Radicals, and if he does not cry
out shame, then he must be past cure and mt
subject for some insane asylum.
The cry of Reform has gone abroad in our
State, and every honest Democrat will admit
that the party needs it, and what party, or
what household does not need reform? Who
of us, as individuals, as christians, as members
of any political party. are pure and does not
need the saving grace of honesty, morality and
purity; but alas who are pure? Let him who
is, east the first stone.
But, Mr.. Editor, how are we to correct this
evil? Suppose your house has Il leak in its
roof. what would YOU do TO cure it--tear the
house down? Methnks not; you would re-
pair the roof by taking out all decaved and
worthless shingles and replace them by better
and more perfect ones, and thus remedy the
evil. Had you fruit tree, some of whose
branches had become diseased, decayed and
useless, so rs to permanently injure the Valu-
able tree, would you cut it down? Would
you dig it up? Methinks not; you would cut
off the diseased branches, you would lop off
the deeaying and damaging limbs. Had you a
member of your family who by misfortune or
imprudence had broken an arm or leg, would
you advise the doctor, or would he recommend
that the life of the patient be destroyed to cure
it? Methnks not; but you and the physician
would both say, amputate the limb and let the
body live; it will be in future as useful as in
the past, and who knows but what it might in
crease in usefulness. And, sir, it is and will
be so with the Democratic party in spite of its
would-be murderers. This old, tried and true
party has prevailed for generations, and it will
continue to prevail in spite of the many little
county State and National crinpers and nOliti-
clans for petty offices.
If there is an unworthy member in the Dem
ocratic party, cut him off-lop him off from all
places of profit and trust We have done it,
we can do it, we ,cHi do it; but in the name of
common sense do not destroy this great, this
saving party, this party which has always been
on the side of the oppressed and down-trodden
of all nations and of all creeds.
