Chairman of Committee .

Dear Sri beg to acknowledge the receipt OF
your communication this morning, informing
me Of my nomination as a candidate for tne
General Assembly OF the State of Maryland
l am not member Of your organization, and
of course, ignorant of its origin aud purposes,
but if they are as stated, a increment Of the peo-
Pile themselves, looking to the purity Of the ballot
boz, the breaking up Of The nefarious Ring go0-
ernnent Of our county and State, and tho iHaugtSr
alton Of Tetrenchment and reform, | am in full
accord and sympathy with you.
Without strong personal reasons TO the con-
trary no one should hesitate to lend his aid to
purpose of the kind, and while | regret very,
very much your choice has not fallen on some
one else, cordially accept the nomination and
to the best Of my ability will endeavor to justify
the confidence with which your delegates have
honored me.
Please notify them of my acceptance and con-
vey. to them my thanks for the unexpected and
undeserved honor they have conferred on me-
Yours respectfully W. WHIrELooK.
Here, then, is no Republican dodge" and
none of the "rantankerous' anti Catholicism
with which the crank and ile'' are sought to be
cajoled into obedience to the "ring." On the
contrary, it assumes neither to build up party
nor to crush one-to prescribe a sect or to pro
mote sect but simply proposes to restore ''he
purity Of the 6allot-bo1, break up the nsfdrious
ring and inaugurate retrenchmem and reform"
The Republican may, therefore. vote this ticket
and be Republican still--the Democrat votes it
aud is Democrat still-Catholicsa and Protestants
may adopt it and assuredly be all the better in
their several relations for having voted it,
We heartily congratulate the Democratic party
upon this determined effort at publication
at this prospective ablution in the pure waters of
reform--at this elimination of evil spirits that
have led it ITO do those things which are pct
convenient" and at the extricalion of lis vener-
able nose at last from the vile fingers and lead
ings of this atrocious "ring" And we shall
mingle our hallelujahs with those of Democrats
and Republicans, Catholics and Protestants as we
behold the leprous crew glide down the gutter of
Fate to the place where all wicked "rings'' go.

Letter from Third District.

THIRD DISTRICT, October 18th, 1875.
Nessrs. Editors - Your readers are aware that
the Republican party of Baltimore county at its
recent convention abstained from nominating
ticket 1t did so because the corruptens of the
"ring" which for years has controlled the Dem
cratic party became at last so fragrant and ntol-
cradle, that determined resolve for reform
among the masses Of that party, by their own
means and in their own way, had now assumed
organized shape and formidable proportions
Under these circumstances and experimenting
that the grave public interests involved might be
jeopardized by party nominations, the Republi-
cans patriotcally RETAINED from nominating a
ticket and resolved to merge party predictions
into the momentous duty Of the hour. That
duty they understand to be an active eo-opera
ton for the public good with the OF honest
Democrats who dare opposition to the plunderers
of the public Treasury under the apparent auspi
ces and in the name of the Democratic party
We have heard many Injurious illusions to the
Reform organization. This u.s. of course TO be
expected The pirate has ever stores of malicious
epithet and invective for the enemy in his wake,
but his claim to confidence is small while he floats
the skull and cross. bones from his masthead
1t has been called Republican dodge-an anti
Catholic movement, &C., &C. That our own
judgment might be clear and the public correctly
advised we have sought official expression in this
behalf and have been favored with the following
letter of acceptance, written by one of its nomi-
nees as the basis Of bis acceptance, and which de-
scribes 10 clear and concise terms the essential
principles and purposes Of the Reformers 1t is
matter of congratulation that this frank AND
direct letter eliminates from gentleman so widely
known and esteemed and whose ability and in
tegrity are so universally confessed

HOnitOn Lace.
From App leton's American Encyclopedias

From App leton's American Encyclopedias.
In England the manufacture of lace
is carried Oh chiefly in the counties of
Buckingham, Devon and Bedford. The
work is mostly done by women and
girls at home, and the best known of
the English handmade laces is Heni-
ton, so called from the town of that
name in Devonshire, where it was first
made. TIE high rank held by Honiton
lace in recent years is attributed to the
fact that Queen Victoria, commiseratin
the condition of the lace-workers of
Devonshire, and wishing to bring their
manufactures into notice, ordered her
wedding dress, which cost one thous-
a pounds, to be made of this materi-
al. Her example was followed by two
of her daughters and the Princess of
Wales, and Honiton lace has continued
to be fashionable and expensive. In
making it, the designs, which often
consist Of simple sprigs, are formed
separately, and then attached to the
ground. Honiton guiprire has an orig
inal character almost unique, and is
said to surpsss in richness and perfec.
ton lace of the same kind made in
Belgium. British point is an imitation
lace, made near London.

The Bite of a Rabid Animal not
Always Followed Dy HydrODhObia.

When man is bitten by a rabid dog,
the wound does not differ in any visible
character from that inflicted BY a
healthy animal. It is seldom severe,
and often slight, the animal frequently
making only single momentary attack.
The wound thus made heals witho at
difficulty, and Is not especially painful
or otherwise troublesome. In majority
of instances no further trouble comes Of
it. The danger from the bite of rabid
dog consists in the incubation of the
animals saliva, which. owing to the
disease under which he is suffer-
ing. contains subtle but
communicable organic poison. But
there are various circumstances which
may interfere with the poison's taking
effect. First the individual may be,
habitually or at the time, insusceptible
to its action. There is reason to be-
lieve that the human species, as awhole,
are decidedly less susceptible to the
poisons of hydrophobia than dogs; and,
according to the experiments of M.
Renault, at the veterinary school of
Abort; the proportion of dogs them
selves, bitten by rabid animals, who
afterward became rabid, is not more
than thirty three per cent. Secondly,
when the bite is inflicted upon parts
of the body covered with
clothing, the saliva, which is
the only vehicle of the poison may have
been arrested by the garments, and
may not have come in contact with the
wound at all. Thirdly, the poison may
have been extracted from the wound
Immediately afterward by the free dis
charge of blood, or by the instructive
manipulations of the wounded person,
or may have been neutralized by sur
gical appliances. At all events statistics
seem to show conclusively that the bite
of rabid animal by no means invaria-
bly, causes hydrophobia. -Appleto'a

Capital Punishment in England.
From the London Times.

from the LOQQOn Times.
In the last ten years 214 criminals
have been sentenced to death in Eng
lana and Wales, but only 103, or less
than half tie number, were in fact exc
cuted. Tn the year 1874, as many as 26
were sentenced to death, and Is of
them were executed. In the 80 years,
1864, there have been 1872 criminals
executed in England and Wales. or II
a year upon an average. The largest
number in that period was %, in 1868;
the smallest was 4, in 1871. There
were LII executions in the first ten
years, and there were 1903 in the last
ten. IF We go further back than 1886,
we find very different figures; in the 8
years, 1888 s, the executions were no
less than 1O1, averaging "a year. But
even in those dark ages we have looked
in vain for records of capital sentences
passed, as our Italian cotemporary
Fanfulla states, by clerical justices Of
the peace. f

GEN. ZACHARY TAYLOR.

The LOng-Negiected Resting-Place of the
Ex-President Given Attention to at Last
Present Appearance of the Little Gene.
terv-
From the Louisville Ledger.
1t is with pleasure that we mention
the fact that the long-neglected tomb of
President Zachary Taylor has at last re-
ce1ved the attention of considerate rela-
t1ves. A number of workmen, at the
instance Of Mr.. Richard FL. Taylor. Of
this city, anephew of Gen. Taylor, have
been busily engaged for several DAYS
past In giving the last resting place of
our twelfth President a presentable ap-
pearance. The Taylor Cemetery is
about five miles from the city, on the
Brownsboro turnpike. The iron gate has
been painted, and the narrow walk to the
Presidents tomb has been cleared and
wldened. The greatest transformation,
however, has been effected in the ex-
terror of the sepulchre. Fhe loose and
'uttlng stones have been replaced, and
the rough front has been ground down
to smooth and polished surface. New
earth has been placed in the cavities,
and the summit has been cleared of the
brlars and brambles, which covered it.
The other graves in the Enclosure, that
have not been visible for years, now ap-
pear under the shadow of spotless
marble slabs. Having key of the
Presidents tomb our reporter entered
the marble portal. He found himself
IN room of solid masonry, about eight
feet square. The sun cast 81 mellow
light into the chilly apartment and dis
closed two collins. They were con
structed of stained poplar and rested
upon marble bases. The one on the left,
which contained all that was mortal of
the Kentucky chieftain, was wrapped
in black oil-cloth; the other, on the
left, held the remains of his faithful
consort. At the rear of the room is a
life-like bust of General Taylor, in
plaster of Paris. Leaving the room,
our reporter noticed that the inscrip-
ton, which before was almost obliterat-
ed, had been brought out in bold re-
lief:

A Gold Field i'm Missouri.
St. Louis Republican.

Prof. G. P. Williams, principal Of the
School of Mines at Rolla, returned last
evening from an examination of the Ma
con county gold p]aoers, and is regis
tered at the Southern. He left st. Louis
on Friday last, and has spent the inter
vening time i'll the examination of sew
eral points in Macon county. He has
taken samples from seventeen different
places for the purpose of assay on his
return to Rolla, SO as to obtain the APP
proximate yield to the cubic yard. The
gold occurs in very fine particles
in the drift formation, and
this formation is composed of
three strata of gravel, all giving gold in
the pan, but whether it exists in paying
quantities remains yet to be seen. The
drift covers very large area, extending
from Macon county northerly beyond
the Iowa line. It is disclosed mostly
along the great Charlton River; and the
fact that the appearance of the gold is
widely dispersed. being found near
Kirksviile, in Adair county, where the
most excitement preya ils, places the
supposition that there has been salt
ing" out of the question. The under
lying rock belongs to the carboniferous
formation. The drift was transported
to it's present place from direction
west of north, and in the opinion of the
professor the parent beds could be
traced to Minnesota.
The gold bearing drift extends about
to the southern limit Of the bowlde1
zone. Bowlders of various sizes are
found in the drift, of granite, sienite,
hornblende, greensboro, trap and
uartz-ite, mixed with small pebbles OF
chalcedony and rubies-some speci
mems OF which the Professor brought
| away with him. The drift formation is
estimated to be on an average sixty
four ,eet in thickness, forming in many
places low hills scanned with gullies AND
gulches, in which the ''color" is sought
for.
