REPUBLICAN MEETING IN BEL AIR.-A
so-called Reform meeting was held in Bel
Air, on Friday of last week, under the ausp-
ces of prominent Republicans Of the county.
The court room was well filled, but the au-
diencc was composed chiefly of Democrats
of the town, who attended out of curiosity to
hear the champion of the party of reform,
the Hon. j. Morrison Harris. Col. r. S.
Rogers, of Havre de Grace, was called TO the
chair, and G. d. Bouldn, Isaac Scarborough
Gabriel Smithson, VIM. z. Silver, s. c. Cor
rell appointed Vice Presidents, and A. p Nc
Combs Secretary. Mr.. Harris said he intend
cd to make no personal or political appeal,
but h:sspcech could scarcely have been more
personal in his attacks upon the Hon. John
Lee Carroll and Hon Levin WoolfOrd. He
proclaimed himself member of the Demo-
cratic party, and fearing his hearers might
doubt the gcnuineness OF lis conversion to
Democratic principles, lie told them over and
over that he was Democrat. He defended
the secret organization of the Reform party,
and expressed his disapproval ofthe revival of
the old cry against the Know Nothings. His
Know Nothing record, he said, was all bosh,
1t had nothing to do with the present contest
He had served six years in Congress, and he
was willing to have his record there scrutiniz.
ed. He thought, Also that the talk about San.
born contracts, Credit Mobiler frauds, &C.,
had nothing to do with the present canvass
He repeated the SANDER against Col. Wool
ford, and dwelt with considerable emphasis
upon the alleged fact that when Senator
Earle appealed to Mr.. Carroll to substantiate
the charge he made against Col. Woolford,
Mr.. Carroll remained silent The speaker
evidently had not read the morning papers,
or he would have seen Mr.. CAROLS letter
indicating Col. Woolford, and denying.
upon the authority of Senator Earle himself
that tho latter had ever appealed to him in
relation to the matter Mr.. Harris evident
ly sought to arouse feeling of religious
prescription by asserting that he was Prot

pected to die Protestant, &c.
His whole speech was one general charge

Democratic Victory in Baltimore.

The Democrats of Baltimore on Wednes-
day gained a decisive victory over Radicaism
by elecing General Ferdinand c. Lalrobe
mayor by majority of 1865. They also
elected ten members of the first branch and
eight members of the second branch of the
city council, the Reformers electing 10 men,
bers Of the first branch and two of the second
branch. Very few of the straight-out Radi-
Gals upon the Reform ticket were elected
The aggregate vote was $4,000, and was the
largest ever pollcd in Baltimore. The con-
test was purely local one, and the result,
we imagine, will have very little effect, one
way or the other, upon the State election
next Tuesday

The Constitutional Amendment.

We hope the constitutional amendment,
which is to be voted upon next Tuesday,
will not be lost sight of, amid the excitement
of the campaign, but that it will receive the
votes of all, irrespective of party. We have
heretofore explained the provisions of the
amendment which is simply to leave it to the
judge to decide, in cases where removal is
asked, whether there is reasonable cause for
ordering the case to be transferred to anoth-
CT jurisdiction. The amendment does not
apply to civil cases nor to cases where the
penalty is death. The removal of petty
criminal cases, which could be as fairly tried
here, annually costs Hartford county large
amount. The amendment would save large
portion of this outlay, and is a measure of
reform upon which all parties can unite. We
therefore hope the whole vote of Hartford
county, without regard to party, will be cast

AN UNPOPULAR APPoINTMENT-The ap-
pointment by President Grant Of ex Senator
Zach. Chandler, Of Michigan, 10 the post OF
Secretary of the Interior, in place of Sccre.
tary Deano, resigned, has crt ated quite q
commotion in Republican circles. His ap-
pointment, according 10 the New York Trs-
bune, has disguised very large party of the
Presidents friends. 1t was disgracefully
bad appointment, and the people will resent
it whenever the opportunity presents itself,
The same paper thinks that if "the President
had searched the United States from coast to
coast he could not have found man more
likely to perpetuate the abuses of Mr.. De-
lano's administration and to add 10 it others
ofhis own" The other members ofthe cabi-
net are not flattered, it is said, by the com.
partnership OF the colleague whom the Pres
ident has thrust upon them, and there are
rumors of other changes in the Cabinet
Altogether the recent appointment is belev-
ed to be detrimental to General Grants third
term ASPIRATIONS.

Letter From Marshall's District.
SnAwsvILLE, Oct. 10TH, 1875

Mr.. EDITOR: AS the absorbing topic of Har.
ford-thc Fair-is now over, and has proven, to
the qualification of all, perfect success, we
venture word from Marshalps.
The farmers, with few exceptions, have fin
ished their seeding, and many fields have assum-
ed q springlikc green, as if regardless of the
brewing frosts that are so soon to rob Dame Ma
ture of her beauty. The corn is well cared and
is decidedly the best crop of the season. Buck
wheat is generally well filled, but many fine
fields have been overtaken by the early frosts,
and materially injured.
The Fair has interested quite number our
citizens, and MarshalPs we believe, has received
good share of premiums.
The protractcd meetings have, so far, been
very successful, and number are now in pro-
gross with flattering prospects.
Notwithstanding the reduction ofsalaries, our
public teachers are performing their duties
faithfully, and the schools are we'll attended.
The Chrome Hill Lyceum is again open to the
public, and those wishing 10 exercise their logi-
cal powers in debate will here find opportunity
afforded them.
We notice that the Baltimore San has made
quite mistake in giving TO Pennsylvania the
honor ofthe championship won by Messrs. d.
and G. Wright, In contest with Messrs. Pearce
and Gwinn. The trial was not for the champion
ship of the two States, but of Maryland, and the
Messrs. Wright both reside In this district. Let
Maryland claim her o,on horscman, and be proud
that she stands first In horsemanehip, without
fear of Pennsylvania as rival Z. I. w.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE EGIS.
The Experimentation Movement.

In Mr.. s. T. Wallis letter, recently written,
in which he is supposed to have annihilatcd Mr.
John Lee Carroll and the Democratic party of
Maryland, he uses the following language: ~
am rash enough TO announce rs Il practical po-
ltical axiom, that no man who seeks Office can
altogether free himself from the influence of the
friends who raise him to power" Now, Mr.
Wallis, this is sound doctrine. Never was your
head more level than when you wrote that SEN
tence Ii YOU and Mr.. Harris and the rest of
your ticket should be elected TO the positions
you covct, you will be placed in power by about
the following vote: Full two-thirds of your
supporters will be negroes, something less than
onc.third Grant Radicals, and the balance, a
very small fraction, disappointed and over
ambitious Democrats. These are the men, ac-
cording to your own axiom, TO whom you will
have 10 cater, and who will be expected to in
hucnce you, after your election. Two-thirds
Of the officers appointed will have TO come from
the African element, nearly one third Of Grants
third term men, with here and there sore. head

know your address. Your last lctterwas dated

Cheislhurst, Eng. and do not wish to write with
the danger of my communication being lost, so
good bye, my friend,
Now, in regard to Republicans being Reform
ers, is this meant rs huge joke, or is it meant
as an insult to the intelligence of the citizens of
this State? Is there any evidence on record,
wherever, in any case whatever, in national af-
fairs in any State, in any city, county, township
or district, where any pure reform has been
brought about by the Republican party? If
there is any information to be had in the affirm
alive am waiting TO hear it. If the Republi-
can. Reform movement is meant as a practical
joke, it is too serious TO be enjoyed as such !;
there Is too much at stake AS far as the OPP
position movement, if it can be called q move
ment, in this county is concerned, it is scarcely
worth noticing. am, however, of opinion that
it does not amount to movement; that it is q
mere muscular quivering Of the remains of the
departed Radical party, as we sometimes see in
dead animal after the vital spark has entirely
fed. s.

caused an exceedingly broad smile upon the
faces ofany foreign born citizens who were
present, when they remembered, how n few
short years ago this same Mr. Harris was one
of the recognized leaders of the party which
prescribed citizens of foreign birth, and with
bludgeons, avis and firearms beat, manned
and drove them from the polls in Baltimore
city. Mr.. Harris accepted an election TO

He was followed by Col Edward Wilkins,

months by the Republicans of Maryland, uuder
the disguise of this fictitious name, in a vain
effort to overthrow the great Democratic party
and to again place themselves in power. God
grant that this may not occur; for we well re-
member the past with all OF its horrors and ter
rors, when the party then in power issued or
dcrs equal to an imperialist, and carried them
out with the vengeance of an nquistion. Not
fit subjects TO give us reform, we think As
well might the farmer send wolf to assist his
entangled sheep to clear the thickct. Then,
Democrats, to the front and show the State
that old Hartford has not forgotten her allie.

free press, which are the foundation of all good
governments. G.. A. G.

REMEMBER what Senator Bayard tells the
people of Maryland:
II feel an unusual interest in your success
in Maryland this fall. The organization of
men into parties is essential for the accomp-
lishment of any great public object, and in
this country and at this time the Democratic
party is the sole hope and bulwark of the
Constitutional liberties of the people against
the encroachments of centralized power, ia
naticism,. political and religious, and the
combination of favored classes. In view of
this how unworthy and dangerous is the fac
titious opposition to candidates exhibited in
Maryland, too often.to crafty rcvenges for
personal disappointments or personal dis
likes. | do not believe the people of Mary

to be obscured, but that they will detect and
avoid the possibility of negro domination
with all its attendant ruin and demoraliza-
