1t is already evident that the Democratic county
ticket is weak one and will not receive the united
support Of the party. The contemptuous ignoring
of some of tho ''old wheel-horses," who have
"borne the heat and burden of the day." and the
nomination in their stead of new and comparative
y unknown men, of inferior qualifications, has Gre
ated great dissatisfaction among the friends of the
prescribed candidates, which will be sure to make
itself felt in the campaign

Attorney, by saying that in conversation with
some other Republicans we called him "poor

The REPUBLIC magazine for August, is equal to
a series of campaign documents. Its pages are
filed with valuable material which must tell in the
fall elections. No public man, no speaker, no one
who desires correct information on subjects of
public interest, should be without this magazine.
Its low price, only S. brings it within the reach of
all. Its opening article on Growth of the Nation
Under Republicsnsm," cannot fail to revive the
pride of loyal men in the party which has done
heroic service for the country. The Republic is q
power in the field of politics, and should have q
wide circulation. Orders should be sent to The
Republic Publishing Company, Washington, D. &.

l have not enjoyed good health for several years
past, yet have not allowed it to interfere with mJ
labor. Every one belonging to the labOriDg class
knows the Inconvenience of being Obliged TO labor
when the body, from debility, almost refuses e
perform its daily task. ] never a believer in
dosing with me1icines but having heard the VEG
BTINE spoken of so highly, was determined to try
1t, and shall never regret that determination. As
tonic (which every one needs at some time) il sur
passes anything ever heard of. Jtinvigorates the
whole system it is great cleanser and purifier OF
the blood. There are many of my acquaintance
who have taken it, and all unite in praise of its sat
isfaCtury effect.
Especially among the aged class of people, Il i'm
parts TO them the one thing most needful in
old age-nights of calm, sweet rcposc, thereby
strengthening the mind as well as the body. One
aged lady, who has been suffering through lie
from scT0fula, and has become blind from lis cf-
fccts having tried many remedies with no favOra-

TINE. After taking few bottles, she obtained
such great relief that she expressed wish for her

such calamity. It is therefore the duty Of every

defeat of that party IN October next

control Of the Government should again pass into
the hands of the Democratic party, and the unfe-

success to attempt another rebellion. Is there no

An Important Decision I'm n Building
Associations case.

In Baltimore on Saturday. Chief Judge
Brown filed an opinion in the case of Samuel
&. Ridgaway VS.. the Baltimore Permanent
Building ard Land Society. which decides
questions of interest The action of ssump-
sit was brought by the plaintiff 20 recover
from the defendant the sum Of 40 70 o. for that
amount of interest over six per cent en- irged
ny the defendant, and paid TO il by the plain
TN on loan secured by mortgage. The
court reviewed the case, and I'm conclusion
decided that the plaintiff was entitled to re-
cover the sum which he paid To the defsn liant
above legal interest, and gave judgment for
SOFA. The opinion delivered by the court is
in brief that where q building association
takes back its stock and makes loan to the
full amount of said stock, and takes n mort-
gage TO secure the loan. but instea OF paying
the full amount of the loan. makes deduc-
lions, and yet requires interest on the full
amount stated in the mortgage. AMI in the
weekly dues collects more than legal inter
est (six per cent) for the period stated in
the mortgage, the mOTtgagOr can recover
back all paid over and above The amount &C
tuslly loaned TO him and six per cent. interest
An appeal was taken from the decision, ami
the final result will be looked for with I'M
usual interest in Baltimore as affecting the
fate of a large number of building associa-
lions in that city. Should the decision of
Judge Brown be affirmed by the Court of
Appeals IL will compel ali these associations
there to change their plan of operations SO
that the benefits of the system shall be more
equally divided between the borrower and
lender. In Washington the building asso-
cations are now generally organized on this
more equitable plan. In Baltimore il would
seem that many of the associations have
been started avowedIy in the interest of a
few capitalists who own all or nearly all of
the shares. who use the corporate name and
privileges but as n cover for their usurious
loans, and who, with the solicitors who pre-
pare and fOreclOse their mortgages, appro-
pirate all the profits.
