tB A correspondent to The annapolis
Gazette gives the following little bit of his
tory connected with the ground purchased
for the location of the new House of Cor
rection:
"The DR.. Scott farm was offered for sale
in 1873 for the sum of $500. How did
it happen that the Board of Public Works
of Maryland purchased it the next year
and gave over $13, 900 for it ?-land falling
in price all the while. Learning that the
DR.. Scott place was for sale in 1873, l
visited it for the purpose of purchasing. l
found the house old and out of repair,
much of the land a swamp and the balance
Of it about middling. l appraised it at
about So, 500, and declined looking further
after it. Could our modest Democratic
candidate for the State Senate raise up and
explain?
1t was urged after the purchase of this
property that one of the leading motives in
its purchase was, that ON it was the best of
"clay for making BRICKS" yet the bricks
are made on other land at an extra expense.
Could the candidate for State Senate ex-
plain? His dear constituents are interested
in this matter. Somebody understands
multiplication, division and silence. At
this rate the State House of Correction will
cost $500, 900 instead of $250,000n'

PEACHES. scattering crates of
peaches have been passing North for some
days, it was not until Wednesday that
the shipments reached any considerable
amount. From that date the season may
be said to have fairly opened. About ten
car loads of peaches passed through to New
York. They were scattered about in twice
as many cars, and did not constitute regu-
lar peach train. One chartered car went
through, being the first of the season. A
regular peach train will be put on in a few
days.
Hale's Earlies, the only variety now going
into market from the Peninsula, are of

ence of fine Georgia Rareripes. The quo
tations, Wednesday, were from rs cents to

THE INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT.

An independent movement is in progress,
and many Democrats have avowed their
purpose to support it. Several able and
distinguished men Of our State, of high
character for honesty and integrity, have
been named in the columns of the Balti-
more american in opposition to the cor
rupt rule of the Ring.
Hon. Geo. A. Pearre, of Allegany; Hon.
J. Morrison Harris, Of Baltimore City, and
Hon. Thomas Donaldson, of Howard, have
been each frequently named as candidates
for Governor, at the Fall election, in oppo-
sition to Mr.. Carroll.
Col. Edward Wilkins, of Kent; Mr.. r.
Tilghman Goldsborough, of Dorchester,
and Hon. John NJ. Miller, of Cecil, have
been named for the Comptrollership, which
seems to be conceded to the Eastern Shore
The three gentlemen first named, and
Col. E. II. Webster, of Hartford, have been
named for the Attorney Generalship.
Western Maryland, it would seem, is
really entitled to the Governor this time,
and as she has named so excellent, able and
eloquent a candidate as George A. Pearre,
we think it would be wise to let Western
Maryland have the candidate for Governor.
The candidate for Comptroller will not
be difficult to agree upon from the three
gentlemen named, as any of them will be
found acceptable. If Mr.. Miller is heartily
in the movement against the Ring, we are
ready to give him hearty support. Mr..
Donaldson, Mr.. Harris, or Mr.. Webster
would either of them worthily fill the i'm
portant Office of Attorney General. We
believe the Republican party and all Demo-
Gratis who honestly desire to put an end to
the rampant corruption now admitted by
the Democrats themselves to exist in the
State government, will vote for any of these
gentlemen.
Since the above was written Mr.. Don
aldson in a letter to the american, declines
"to consent to the use of his name on any
ticket. His confidence in Mr.. Carroll re-
quires him to say that he has no fear of the
influence of the Ring upon him should he
be elected" Mr.. Carroll is probably not
superior in firmness and integrity of char
acter to some who have already filled the
Governors chair, and Notwithstanding Mr..
Donaldsons good opinion, we believe the
voters of Maryland will be unwilling to take
MIR. Carroll with his present associ ations.

W Soon after the State election of 1873,
under the direction of Governor Whyte,
ga Ring" was formed among certain DEM
ocratic leaders, the primary object of which
was to secure his election as U. S. Senator
in the place of Hon. VIM. T. Hamilton.
1t is now we'll known who belonged to this
"Ring," and how well it succeeded. Un-
der its influence Governor Whyte was made
Senator, Mr.. Groome became his successor
as Governor, Mr.. Jesse X. Hines was made
Speaker, and Mr.. Barnes Compton, State
Treasurer.
1t is said that the "Ring" did not rest
satisfied with its labors in thus parceling
out the great offices of the State; but that
some of it's leaders, when the last Legisla-
ture was in session, openly sold their influ-
ence with the members, to all who would
pay for legislation, especially the enact
ment of appropriation laws, and that those
who failed or refused to pay, also failed to
secure the legislation desired. This ''Ring''
is, it is also said, strongly in the Roman
Catholic interest, and pledged to any and
all measures which the Jesuit party in that
church are now setting in operation to de-
stroy our school system.
At the late Democratic convention, Mr..
Hamilton and his friends second time suf-
fered defeat through the Vaccinations of
this corrupt and powerful "Ring." It was
in vain that he was supported by all men
of his party, and had the honest rank and
file to back him, all this went for nothing,
under the generalship of the masters of the
"Ring.'' Delegates who preferred Mr.
Hamilton to Mr.. Carroll, Were transferred
"like dumb CATTLE" AID voted by the
"Ring," and in spit,s-odf all that could be
said or do5 done. Carroll was declared the
nominee of the convention. If there is any
manhood or honesty left in the Democratic
party, it will rebel against so great an out
rage. The honest yeomenry who have
heretofore voted for its nominations, be-
lieving they were supporting sound princ-
pies, will not tolerate such bold, and brazen
corruption. "Bargain and corruption -
were once favorite cry among the old
Jackson Democracy, against the leader of
the old Whigs-Henry Clay. The mere
fact that Mr.. Clay voted for John Quincy
Adams for President, in 1924, when he was
elected by the House of Representatives,
and afterwards took office under him as
Secretary of State, were regarded as suffi-
Gent evidence of Bargain and Corrup-
tion." Now, Rings are made openly and
aboveboard, and corrupt men further their
schemes of ambition AID gain through
these means. Will they longer be tolerated
by the Democratic party of this State? If
the party leaders, and those who are can
didates for office, aciN support Mr.. Carroll
election, will the people, who are interested
in fair and economical administration of
the government, tolerate the reign of the
rotten dynasty of the "Ring?" We think
they will not.
