Hon. REvERpY JouHsoN.-A reporter of the
above eminent gentleman, speaks ms follows
For the purpose of having bis views on the
present political situation, a reporter of the
Gazette called Tuesday on the Hon. Reverdy
Johnson, who was found at his attractive and
delightfully."- located country residence near this
city.
After exchanging the usual formnlities, Mr..
Johnson eagerly inquired after the welfare OF
the Gdzette, with the remark that he was al
ways greatly interested in its prosperity
After being assured that the Gazette was en-
joying that high degree of success which in
varinbly results from well-directed energy,
Mr.. johnson said in reply to inquiries that he
had received as yet no offer Of the Gubernato-
rial nomination but while it would hardly
be proper to decline nomination not yet ten
circumstances would he accept a nomination
for Governor in opposition TO Mr. John Lee
Carroll. Said Mr.. johnson: 81 know Mr.
Carroll we'll, and scarcely sec how any one
who has the real interests of Baltimore and
Maryland at heart could desire his defeat.
hear something about political rings, munich
pal, State and otherwise, but when such talk
is rampant il is pretty safe to conclude that the
men who are so fast to denounce those in power
arc only too eager TO organize rings which
would be n real danger and source of cor
ruption.
Mr.. Johnson's attention was called to the
secret character and Know-Nothing features of
the ''ncw party" when he said that he is and
always has been unalterably opposed to all Sc
eret political organizations. Those who cry
''reform" and have to depend on secret plot
ting to bring about the desired results have
usually some Interior designs TO accomplish.
He had noticed that the political contest in
Maryland is attracting attention throughout
the country. 1t should be given forth that the
State wherein the Catholic clergy first pro-
claimed religious freedom in America is the
wrong place 10 organize a religious crusade.
Mr.. johnson expressed satisfaction with the
platform of principles adopted by the Mary
land Democracy and hoped that such views
might prevail throughout the country.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

TIE CAMP MEETING On Sunday
last there was an immense concourse Of
visitors to the Grounds of the Washing
ton Grove Camp. Several long trains
Of cars brought visitors from the Dis
trict cities, Frederick and other points,
while during the day long lines of vehi-
clcs were arriving from other points.
The day was pleasant and every one
seemed to enjoy the pleasure of the
shade of the magnificent forest enlivened
by tho songs of praise of the worshipers.
Several fine sermons were preached dur
ing the day. which we're listened to with
marked attention by the large audience.
A pleasant feature of the day was the
absence of anything like dissipation
among tho visitors, and the perfect good
feeling which seemed to pervadc among
all classes.
During the past week the Camp has
been visited daily by many of our citi-
zens, and the only complaint we have
heard from any is the regulation of the
officers of the grounds which compels
persons going there in their own vchi-
clcs to leave their horses so far away
from tenting ground that it requires all
their time to attend to their stock and
they have no leisure to listen to the
preaching
Should the weather prove favorable
Sunday next promises to be the great
day at the Grounds, and an immense
crowd will doubtless be in attendance

The PuLsE.-Eyery Intellectual pei

The PuLsE.-Every intellectual per-
son should know how to ascertain the
state of the pulse in health; then, by
comparing it with what it was when he
is ailing, he may have some idea of the
urgency of his case. Parents should
know the healthy pulse of each child as
now and then a person is born with Pc
culiar slow or fast pulse, and the very
case in hand may be that popularity
An infants pulse is one hundred and
forty; a child of seven, about eighty;
and from twenty to sixty years, it is
seventy beats o minute, declining to
sixty at four score. A healthful grown
persons pulse beats seventy times in a
minute; there may be good health down
to sixty; but if the pulse always ex-
ceeds seventy, there il . disease; the
machine is working too fast; it is work
ing itself out; there is a fever or in
fiammation somewhere, and the body is
feeding on itself; as in consumption,
when the pulse is quick, that is over
seventy, gradually increasing with de-
creased chances of cure, until breaches
one hundred and twenty, when death
comes before many days. When the
pulse il over seventy for months, and
there 10 . cough, the lungs are af-
fected.

CARRY1vo LADpER.-Did you ever
see a person carry ladder? He puts
it on his shoulder, or it may be puts his
head between the rounds, and has one
of the sides resting on each shoulder,
and having it nicely balanced walks
along. A man with ladder is an in
teresting object in crowded street.
He looks at the end before him, but the
end behind him he cannot see. If lie
moves the front to the right side to get
out Of the way of person, away goes
the rear end just as far in the opposite
direction, and the slightest turn of his
body, only few inches, will give the
ends a sweep of several feet, and those
in the way may look out for bruised
hats and bumped heads, while the win
dow glass along the street is in constant
danger from the unseen rear end of the
ladder. When a small boy, I was car
rying a not very large ladder, when
there was a crash. An unlucky move
ment had brought the rear end of my
ladder against window. Instead Of
scolding me, my father made me stop,
and said very quietly:
"Look here, my son, there is one thing
I wish you to always remember; that is,
every ladder has two ends"
never have forgotten that, though
many, many years have gone. Don't
we carry things besides ladders that
have two ends When see a young
man getting "fast" habits I think he
sees only one end Of that ladder, the
one pointed towards pleasure, and that
he does not know that the other end is
wounding his parents hearts. Many a
young girl carries ladder in the shape
of a love for dress and fnery; she only
sees the qualification of foolish pride
the end of that ladder, while the end
that she does not see is crushing mod
esty and friendship, as she goes along
thoughtlessly among the crowd. All !!
yes, every ladder has two ends, and it
is thing to be remembered in more
ways than one-American Agriculturist.

The Republican Nomination In Ohio.

The Republican State Convention in
Ohio Yesterday nominated for Governor
General Rutherford u. Hayes. General
Hayes was. before the war, practicing
attorney in Cincinnati, and was elected
city solicitor. He entered the army as
lieutenant-colonel of the Twenty third
Ohio and subsequently was made Colonel.
He served in the Shenandoah valley under
Sheridan, and was promoted to the com
mand of a brigade and made brilliant
record. After the war he was twice elected
to Congress from Cincinnati. He was then
elected for two successive terms, Governor
Of Ohio. He is man OF ability. fine
speaker. with q high personal character,
and has an unblemished official record. He
is a man of liberal views, and has no sym
patty with fraud and corruption in any
form. General Hayes was not candidate
for the nomination, but earnestly sup
ported Judge Taft. While Judge in
the Superior Court in Cincinnati,
Judge Taft delivered dissenting
opinion in decision commanding
the board of education to restore the
Bible AS a textbook in the public schools.
SubseQ uently, the Supreme Court Oh ONO
overruled this decision, and UNANIMOUSLY
sustained Judge Taft's opinion as to the law
of Ohio on that subject He was regarded,
however, as an uDQ fashionable triena OF the
public school system, but bis opinion on the
other question caused au opposition TO him
in certain parts Of Ohio. Judge Taft would
have obtained many thousands Of votes be-
yond the ordinary party strength, but 1t
was considered best to have a candidate
against whom there was neither personal,
political. nor religious objection within the
party. SO Judge Taft withdrew his name,
and General Hayes was nominated by ac-
clamatiou. The canvass IN Ohio promises

Local Intelligence.

SUING A NEWSPAPER FOR LIBEL-ln the
early part of the year 1873, our local re-
porter found on the first precinct police
book the record Of an arrest where one
George A. West was taken in for having in
his possession some stolen machinery, and
the item was published in the REPUBLICAN,
IN jocular fashion. Nothing was thought
of tbs affair. at least nothing more than
such squibs are generally entitled to, until
several months after, when a notice was
served on the editor informing him that
suit had been entered in the Fifth Dis
trict Court by Mr.. West who claimed
that he had been libeled to the extent
of $40 900 by the aforesaid publication. As
this office was not flush in such small
change, the REPUBLICANS attorney, Judge
FL. G.. Dibble, was instructed to take a
stand against the charge. The case was
called several times, but on each OCCASION
something occurred to postpone hearing
prepared to hear the worst. Nothing was
seen of the prosecutor, and it was under
stood that he had shaken the dust of our
city from his brogans for all time. No one
connected with this Office had or has ever
seen him, or known anything Of him fur
Their than was contained in the published
item, therefore there was no malice on our
part. Last week the trial reached a crisis,
when jury declared a verdict for defend
ants. This suing of newspapers for libel is
not profitable for anybody, unless the
clerks of the court and the jury be excepted.
No exception was taken by the prosecution
to the deputy sheriff paying the jury with
money which had been deposited by MIR.
VESTS attorney; that was the unkindest
cut of all.

Our readers will be glad to learn that
Governor Kellogg has accepted an invita-
ton to pass the next fourth of July at the
celebra;i N which is 10 come off on that day
at Hahnvlle. The Governor has been for
a long time assiduousiy occupied by the
severe duties Of his Office, and little re
Taxation and country air will doubtless do
min much good. His high official position
entities him to receive the kind attentions
of our citizens. and we feel confident that
the people of Hahnville, and, indeed, of the
whole parish, will extend 10 him a cordial
reception. He will, doubtless, be requested
to address our fourth of July meeting, and
would hardly feel justified in refusing the
people short speech on that interesting
anniversary. There is 10 be no partisan
politics at this celebration. People of all
classes, irrespective of party, religion or
color, will make up the meeting, and we
predict that the best of feeling will pre-.
vail. The good people of st. Charles par
ish are determined that the coming fourth
shall be devoted to patriotism, amusement
and brotherly feeling.-S. Charles Fl erald

FROM TERREBONNE.
The Shooting and hliling Of j. l.. Bel.
den. ESQ.

rne shooting and hliling Of j. l.. Bel
den, Esq.
The following particulars of the recent
homicide at Houms we copy from the
7errebonnc Republican,:
The parish of Terrebonne has an other
homicide to add to it's long list. The MUIR
derous events which have followed each
other with regular succession since the cleo
ton of November, 1874, would lead one to
suspect plan of murder. laid out by evil
disposed men, which has for its object the
death of certain individuals.
The latest fatality occurring in our midst
was the shooting of j. L. Belden by T. p.
Sherburne. On learning of the occurrence
we called upon Mr.. H. Routh, as the unfor-
tunate difficulty was said to have originated
in his eating saloon.
We asked Mr.. Routh to give us the parti-
culars as they actually occurred, but he de-
clined to make any statement. Our reporter
then found Mr.. c. A. Verret, who gave us
the following statement, as he and Mr..
R"nth were said to be eye witnesses of the
affair:
On Thursday, June 3. at IL A. M, T. p.
Sherburne, our parish Judge, and J. L.
Belden, Esq. had stepped into Routh's
Rainbow Coffeehouse to take drink, and
after taking it in the most friendly manner
they sat down to talk by the window.
Mr. Belden asked Judge Sherburne why
he did not fix up matters in such manner
that Felix Daspit could get the money be-
longing to the courthouse and finish it, add
ing that "Daspit Is poor fellow and needs
the money" to finish the job.
Judge Sherburne made An answer to the
effect that he was not tho master, and could
not do it himself as he was only one MEM
Der, also remarking that there seemed to
be some dissatisfaction from the fact that
money had been paid and the work was not
being carried on. Mr.. Belden then re-
marked that any one who said anything
about Felix Daspit was a - Mr.. Sher
burne then said that any person who said
he talked about Daspit was liar. Where
upon Belden said 'dO you call me liarY'
and struck Sherburne in the mouth and
getting up from his seat drew his sword
cane and attempted to.run it into Mr.. Sher-
burne. Sherburne threw up the Sword
with his arm, and after scuff1ing q second
drew his pistol with the remark, as that
what you're fort" and fred his pistol "a
five shooter bulldog. twice, one shot TAX
ing effect in the hand, passing through, and
the Other ball entering in just beneath the
right nipple.
Sheriff LYONS than appeared and ar
rested Mr.. Sherburne, and placed him in
custody in the parish Jail. Mr.. Belden was
taken to his home, where he fingered for
ten hours and expired. He was buried at 5
P. M, Friday evening, in the Catholic
churchyard.
After much careful inquiry among all
parties, this is the most correct account we
are able to lay before our readers. Coroner
Dyer held an inquest on Friday morning,
and we are informed that the jury rendered
a verdict that j. l.. Belden came to his
death by pistol shot in the hands of T. P.
Sherburne. The decision of the jury was
justi6able homicide, but we learn the jury
were not unanimous in their verdict.
