CORRESPONDENCE or THE EGIS



Mir. EDITOR; Poor Baltimore! She may nav
nearly thrce.fourihs of the direct and indirect
taxes of the State. She may give such an over
whelming majority as to always carry the State
ticket triumphantly through contest. She
may have four or five of her citizens equal DO
litically to only one in some ofthe counties, and
yet, in tho opinion of the friends of the Hon
VIM. +. Hamilton, she ought not TO have her
own way of conducting the aifnirs of a city con.
vention charged with the selection of delegates
to a State Gubernatorlal Convention. She choos-
ca to have, as she has always had, and exercised,
tho right of the ma jolity of convention TO rule
and Send an undivided delegation TO Il State con
Vcntion. She follows the practice of all the
counties, who never divide their delegations
She adhercs to the firm principle Of democratic
liberty that majority is all-suilicient for any
political purpose. If majori,ies rule in all The
counties, why may not majority rule in the
city of Baltimore? According 10 The homely old
saying, what is sauce for the goose ought TO be
sauce for the gander" The friends of Mr.,
Hamilton do not want majority to prevail in a
city convention. Can they Get unanimous
vote in the State convention for any one when
there are several candidates? majority must
prevail What shadow they are pursuing and
what "a tempest in tea pot" they are creating
all because John Lee Carroll carried this city
over Mr. Hamilton by over 3, 900 majority, which
would have been increased 10 at least 5000 had
not regatta have taken place on the day the
primary election was held, which took out of
the city ut least 10000 people Mr.. Carroll bears
an honored and rcvered name The name of his
great ancestor is much beloved in Maryland and
everywhere. The friends of Mr.. Carroll here
raised and carried through the contest trium-
phantly and enthusiastically, u banner inscribed,
as Charles Carroll Of Carrollton ,cds The last cho
died Of all the Sigae's Of tie Declaration Of hide
Pendence Of 1716; so ought his great grand 500,
John Lee Carrot TO De most Rdppily and an.
propridtely first Centennial Goveym0r Of lMpy-
land, 1876.
The great purity of the character of Mr.. Car
roll; his love of right and scorn of wrong
his brilliant mental attainments his finished
oratorical skill his kind and humane heart
with many other eXalting qualities, together
with his illustrous lineage, rendered Mr.. Car
roll exceedingly popular here, and hence his UNI
prccedcnted majority, which Mr.. Hamltons
friends do not like.
Now, Mr. Editor, it is to be hoped that should
you not present one of your own distinguished
sons as candidate, our near neighbor, Hartford,
will join Baltimore, in favor of man who will
be every inch Governor and have no power
behind the throne greater than the throne itself.
Yours, most respectfully,

CLOSE OF THE LEyY.-Thc County Com
mssioncrs on Tuesday closed the annual
levy for county expenses, fixing the rate Of
taxation the same as last year, namely, 70
cents on the hundred dollars This with the
State tax makes total of 90 5-1G cents on
the hundred dollars.
The appropriation for the public schools
was 10 cents on the hundred dollars, which
will raise the amount of$10, 104S7. This sum
is sufficient, we are informed, to keep the
schools open for year, besides paying the
interest on the school debt and small
amount of the principal.
For the general repair OF public roads the
commissioners appropriated $4,000, as fol-
lows First District-$2 900; Second-$3,-
400; Third-S3,200; Fourth-$3, 200; Fifth
$4,000. These amounts do not include special
appropriations for the building and repair
of certain bridges, opening certain roads,

THE BEECHER TRIAL-Judge NELSON'S
charge to the jury, in the Titon-Beecher
case, in New York, is q concise vigorous
and impartial presentment of the case. He
expressed his disbelief in the alleged con-
spiracy and blackmail against Bcecher, and
also that there was no personal or profess
sional violation of duty on the part of Gener-
al Tracy, who, it was alleged, after acquaint-
ing himself with Tillon's affairs, deserted
him and was employedas counsel for Beecher.
The closing speech by Mr. Beach, one of
llilons counsel, was one of the most mast
erly legal efforts of modern times, and places
him at once in the front rank of the profes.
slon' The case was given to the Jury on
Thursday of last week, but no agreement has
yet been reached

HARVEST


is at hand once more and busy hands are
at work; but the harvest is small, in compar
ison to what it generally is. Grass is very
light in this section, notwithstanding il
stretched up wonderfully to what we had
anticipated n month ago; but withal We
will not have half crop. Wheat, l think
is looking very well generally. The straw
is light, TO be sure, in places, but in those
cases it is TO be hoped there will be more
wheat than straw.
SINGING
is getting to be very fashionable in this
neighborhood The young folks gather in
small but pleasant companies and go from
house to house and sing. From constant
practice they are becoming very proficient.

FATAL STROKE OF LIGH TNING.-About
hait.past six o'clock on Monday evening Il
single vivid flash of lightning, followed by a
loud peal ofthundcr, startled the citizens of
Hagerstown, Md. Soon after it was asccr-
tanned that it struck Rhnehart Peters, aged
thirteen, who was hocng potatoes in a field
in the southeast part of the town, and had
killed him instantly. His mother, who was
near him, was knocked down but not injur
ed lie was struck on the left side of the
head. The fluid passed down, making alb.
rasions on the shoulder, over the region of
the heart, leaving spot on the abdomen,
and down the left leg, tore his hat and shirt
topicces, and ripped his pants entirely from
his body.

by the contrastcd pictures of Our Flag then and

followed the coming of these small but destruc
