SCARLET FEvER.-A large number OF
children in this city and vicinity. says
the virinia Enterprise, have already been
prostrated with this fell disease. The
number of cases of scarlatina is increas-
ing daily, to such an extent that the dis
ease must be regarded as epidemical.
Twenty-Five cases are reported east OF =
street. Four or five children who went
to school. apparently in good health
came home at night with foreheads burn
ing with a raging fever. Under the cir
c-umstances, it behooves the City Fathers
and the Board of Education to prevent
the spread of this frightful scourRe to the
~infantile portion of humanity. A gentle
man of our acquaintance who visited a
large number of dwelling-houses in the
lower part OF the city says that he could
smell scarlet fever in many of the houses
the moment the door was opened. sr

@>The report of the Second Assistant Post
master General has been completed and hand
ed over to Gov. Jewell in order that he may
complete his report by the assembling of Con-
gress on the first Monday of next month. For
the fiscal year ending June Both, 1875, the cost
of the inland mail transportation was as follows
Railroad routes, aggregating 7O,OsS miles, cost.
ing $9,21S,51S; on eighty-nine steamboat
routes, aggregating 1878 miles in length, cost.
ing 1854, $50; on 1928 other routes, designated
"star" routes, aggregating 192,6O2 miles, cost.
ing $5,453,721. This makes total cost during
the year Of SIS, 1885, 1863. There was an increase
of S,776 miles in the service and decrease Of
$4S,6S8. The appropriations to cover these ex.
penditures were $17,548,0Oo The actual cost
being about $16,471 1888. The rates are to be re.
adjusted on roads that are paid for carrying
the mails by weight where the weight has to
be taken periodically. This will make an in.
crease in the quarterly payments of about 1892,
4S9. Some changes are to be made hereafter
in the mode of taking the weights which
will make some material change in the expen.
ses for this service. There has been a reduc-
ton of expense of about $4,000 in the cost O.

@-As the time draws near for the Assem-
bling of Congress there is considerable anxiety
about the election of Speaker to preside over
the deliberations of the Democratic House Of
Representatives. There are several contestants
each of whom considers his claims good fol
that distinguished honor. 1t has been SO long
since there has been a Democrat filling the
Speakers chair that there has grown up almost
a generation of fellows whose aspirations fol
distinction have grown stale waiting for the
favorable opportunity. Mr.. Keer, of Indiana
Mr.. LamOn, of Mississippi, Mr.. Randle, of Penn
sylvania, Mr.. Cox, of New York, and Mr.. Wood
of the same State seem to be among the chic
aspirants. It will be hard work for them tC
make selection without taking "salary
grabber." Then the fellows who want clerk
ships are addressing printed communications
to the members of Congress. A few days now
will tell the story.

THE DECAY OF DEMOCRACY ON THE EASTERN
SHoRE.-The process of decay seems to be going
on amongst the Democracy of the Eastern Shore.
Party ties sit more loosely on them; the cry
of "nigger" doesn't keep them in line; and in
the recent canvass, there were Democrats in
five out of the nine Eastern Shore counties who
stepped out boldly, and assisted in nominating
Independent and Reform county tickets. Some
Of these were elected. Cecil chooses Repub-
lican Sheriff; Queen Anne's the Independent
candidate for Clerk of the Circuit Court; Caro-
line two of the Reform candidates and Som.
erset the whole Republican ticket. Three
counties only-Kent, Wicomico, and Worcester
elect the whole Democratic ticket.
This is great change from few years ago,
when there was not man in office in Mary
land, great or small, under State, county or mu-
nicipal government, that was not a Democrat
The Democracy then swept the Eastern Shore
as with Bosom there was no chance what
ever for any other candidate than those duly
labeled with their party name Now, we count
up that there were one hundred and twelve
county officers chosen in the nine counties last
week OF whom thirty were Republicans and
Reformers. This leaves a good Democratic
margin, certainly, but it is on the decline.
At the last election for Governor, Whyte
(Dem.) had 2,5O2 majority over Tome, (Rep. }
on the Eastern Shore. Now Carroll has tour
returns are unofficial from two countiss,) only
9OI. Every county of the nine, except Cecil,
Mr.. Tones home, then voted for Whyte now
the Reform ticket has carried Cecil, Caroline,
Talbot, Dorchester, and Somerset, leaving but
a minority of the nine to the Democrats VII

The WONDERFUL FABRIC THAT WAS MADE FOR
NAPOLEON. Among the many treasures owned
by the merchant prince" of New York is a mag
n6cent carpet, which was once intended to grace
the balls of royalty having been manufactured
for the Emperor Napoleon. Its size is about for.
ty feet square. The centre piece, its most PROM
inent object occupying nearly one-half of the
whole area, represents beautiful, oval shaped
picture; set in gold frame, and, suitably hung
it would at distance be easily mistaken for an
elegant painting.
The picture shows the harbor, castle and sur
rounding country of Marseilles, France. In the
fore ground one is charmed by the blue water
and the stately ships at anchor further back the
harbor and ancient CASTLE rising grandly in its
magnificent whiteness against the green foliage
enYeloping the base of the monn taius which form
the background and lift their hoary heads into a
blue sky, faxed with 1eecy clouds. Napoleon
coat of arms surmounts the picture, and a Latin
motto, wrought in gold on a blue ribbon-like
ground, lies half unrolled at the base.
Immediately surrounding this lovely picture,
in a bed Of rich brown, is garland of beautiful
flowers much larger than natural size, but so
brilliantly and so delicaely and accurately rep
resented that it seems as if one might stoop and
lift the petals one from another. Outside of this
garland, and serving as Lorder to the carpet,
is wreath formed of overlapping oak leaves and
acorns, also in natural colors, their various
shades of green and brown blending in exquisite
beauty.
1t is quite impossible to give an idea of this
wonderful fabric, which was made with the
needles of poor women who wrought it in Sec
tons and set it together after the manner of the
camels hair shawls. Its texture is as delicate as
slken robe, and no painter could portray color
or detail with greater skill. 1t actually cost $lo-
900 to make it. Mr.. Stewart saw it at the Paris
Exposition and purchased it as novelty.

METHODIST UNIoN.-A short time ago commits
sioners of the Methodist and Methodist Protest
ant churches met In Pittsburg to discuss the
propriety of organic union of the two bodies
The meeting was of the most cordial and Chris
tian manner, and after full deliberation of
the interests involved union was agreed upon
on the following basis The name of "the Meth
odist Protestant Church" is to be retained
The question of suffrage and eligibility to office
is to be left within the control Of each annual
conference. The restrictive rule" is to be
changed so that pastor may be retained in
the same charge for not exceeding five years.
There are other points involved in the plan pro-
posed, but these are the most distinctive and
vital. The matter now goes before the annual
conferences ofthe two churches. When, should
they favor the plan proposed, they will unite
in calling general convention, a two-thrds
majority of all the conferences oeing required
to sustain the call. This convention will meet
in Baltimore on the second Friday in May, 1877,
and the representatives thereto will be clothed
with full conventional powers. The conven-
ton so called will include some ofthe best pull
pit and lay talent in the country. An earlier
date would have been fixed upon for the meet.
ing of the convention but for the fact that some
of the annual conferences meet in the fall of the
year, and cannot act upon the Pttsburg con
vention propositions until the fall of next year

I-The Democratic Executive Committee
assembled at Towsontown on Tuesday Of thi;
week for organization. Considerable manipu-
lation seemed to be used by conflicting interests
in the selection of the chairman. They seemed
to imbbe some of the ideas OF reform that car.
ried the Reform ticket through on the second
instant. There was no small amount of whis-
pering around that for success in the future il
was necessary to have some one for chairman
whose hands were unstained with corruption
or chicanery of any kind. In the present con-
dition of affairs in the State and county it is
well enough to make semblance of virtue, but
that even in this case we are inclined TO think
has something behind it. The officers elected
are Samuel W. Worthington, Chairman; Fran

1t is something to preach three or four
times every dav in the week, as Brother Moody
does. 1t would be impossible for him to do SO
if his sermons We're in the grand oratorical
style. But his preaching is of the very SIM
plest and planest kind he merely "talks" on
some religious doctrine or passage of Scripture.
Yet he produces effects such as the highest ell
oquence and greatest intellectual power have
rarely ever produced and he attracts multi
tudes such as never before listened to any
preacher in this country.

We do not wish these remarks to be construed
into any reflection upen the gentlemen whom the
people have elected to serve them. Our intention
is directly the contrary. Our object is to caution
the elected againt the delusive smiles and sedue-
tive blanishmelts Of those who would have re-
ioiced in their defeat. The men who could not
or did not give them encouragement and assist
ance before the election are Totally unfit to ad-
wise now. No man or set of men can do justice
to themselves or their constituents while in pub
lie positions unless they consult largely the opin-
ions and wishes of the best man they represent.
Underssa new organization of elements such as
we have, this is especially true. And there is
the stronger reason why all good reformers should
render all the service and give all possible assis-
lance to the in-going representatives of the peo-
pie in order that the movement may be COM
plete success. Ne reformers should recommend
an unfit appointment. Leave this for the other
side to do. And if unit men are seekers for po-
stions it is the duty Of all good reformers to APP
prise the appointing power of the fact. Unless
our people have the nerve and the will to do these
things the people who attempted to defeat the
ticket will succeed in imposing upon the appoint
ing powers. They do not claim infallibility.-
They cannot be expected to know one-tenth OF
the people who will apply for position. Almsst
any hummer" can get himself recommended by
a petition With names. His impudencs, ''cheek"
and push may do the balance unless the people
who are reformers, for reorms sake, will have the
courage to interpose them information to prevent
it. The battle is only half won yet. Every man
must make it his special business to see that none
but the best, the most worthy among those who
were actual reformers before the election are Sc
lected to promote the cause of reform in Balti-
more county.
