There were 500 scattering votes cast
for governor, and from $50 to 600 for the
other State officers, These were not
sufficient to change the RESULT any case
though they fell only little short of il
As between Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Dolye.
The largest number of scattering votes
were cast in Fond du Lac County, 215
the next in WInnebage, 107, and the
.Dextin Trcmpealeau, 70. AS it came tc
pass, they we're only wasted SO far as
the State election is concerned but the J
might have been worse than wasted, and
the nearnees to that consequence ought
to warn the advocates of prohibition in
this State against putting ticket in the
field in the future, at least until there is
some ground for the expectation that
they can make it successful. -MIlaoauset

The GOyernOrShiD.

The Westminster Adcocate of last week
says:
We published, last week, under the caption
of "The Slate" certain speculations concern
ing the Gubernatorial contest, to the effect
that after some preliminary balloting the 81
Carroll votes of Baltimore city would be
transferred to Gov. Groome We are assured
that this view of the contest is not the cor
rect one; that the vote of Baltimore city will
be given to Mr.. Carroll in good faith, and
will adhere TO him until he is nominated, or
as long as there is prospect of such result.
If he should not show sufficient strength to
achieve success, then the vote of Baltimore
will be thrown to Gov. Groome, who is cx.
pected to cross the bay with 30 votes solid
from the Eastern Shore, and with Hartford a.
and Anne Arundel a, the 81 from Baltimore
city would give him so, which is more than
enough to elect The friends of Mr.. Iamil-
ton claim the whole of the western tier of
5, Frederick 6, Carroll 5, making "a also
from Baltimore city g. Dorchester 4, total
81. The friends of Mr.. Carroll claim Balli-
more city 81, Baltimore county 7, Howard
3, Montgomery 4, Allegany 5, Garrett 3, total
43; leaving Prince Georges 4, Charles 3,
Calvert 3, and st. Mary's 3, - in all, debate
able ground
From these premises the conclusion may
be easily deduced, that the Gubernatorial
question is tar from being settled, and that
The convention alone will be able to determine
who is to be the next Governor. There is
also some doubt as to how the vote ofcertan
counties claimed by one OF more of the asp-
rants will ultimately be cast, and this unccr-
tainty adds to the complications of the case
which can only be seettled by the Conven-
ton On the 21st proXimo"
The AdCOcate's information, so far as it re-
latcs to this county, is speculative merely
Hartford will, in all probability have candi-
date of her own to present to the convention,
the Hon. Henry W. Archer, so that any
"slate" on which our county is set down for
any but one of her own citizens is at lcas,
premature.

KNOW NOTnINGIsM REvIvED.-The Balti.
more San says that it is generally known, or
conjectured where not known, that there is
being organized in large portion of the
city secret party movement somewhat on
the basis of the old know-nothing party. In
the western part of the city especially the
movement is quite actyc, and secret meet
ings are held at one point or another nearly
every night. The platform is stated to be
the following, a copy ola handbll which is
being cautiously distributed:
"Citizens: You are called upon to unite
at the ballotbox to resist papal pretcnsions
in our politics. The Church of Rome has
long controlled, directed and mislcd the DEM
ocracy and now believes that with her COM
pact military church organizations and by
aid of her ancient diplomacy her councils
may totally ignore the Protestant spirit with.
in her party. Convene, then, citizens, for
the purpose of organization, that you may
with more certainty of success defeat ut the
elections those candidates who do the bidding
of Rome; that you may resist the destruc-
ton of our schools, and by your vote MAIN
tain the separattncss of State and Church,
demanding the taxation of all church prop
erty and the disconlinulnce of sectarian
appropriations"

New York Boss Tweed is a con picuous OK
ample that the way of the transgressor is
hard. The order of court releasing him from
imprisonment was not dry upon the paper
before other charges were preferred against
him for obtaining large sum of money from
the treasury ofNew York, by false prctenscs
In Cincinnati five men connected with the
management of the city water works have
been indicted by the grand jury for cmbcz-
cling money belonging to the water works.
Even nearer home, in the city of Baltimore,
the air is rife with charges of malfcasance in
Office on the part of members of the city
council. The latest case is that of Mr.. War
field L. Browning, who, it is alleged, made
use Of his position as member Of the COM
mitiee on highways, to extort money from
pei sons for opening certain streets, and also
hired carriages, and fraudulcntly charged the
bills to the expense account of the city. The
amount thus fraudulcntly obtained in this
latter case was, it is true, very small in COM
parison with the operations of Boss Tweed,
but, as we have said, it is a healthy sign when
the servants of the public are held 10 strict
accountability for the manner in which they
discharge their trusts

The Late benjamin. 2. M0ore, ST..

1t is with deep regret we are called upon
to announce the death of Benjamin p, Moore,
at his residence near Fallston, on Thursday,
Gath, in the 84th year of his age. Born in
our State, an accomplished gentleman of the
old school, he has long dispensed true Mary
land hospitality in his happy home. The
foreign aid of ornament is not required to dis
play the character ofthe deceased. Unbend-
ing in his principles expansive in his be.
nevolcnce; ardent in his attachments social
in youth, and cheerful in age, lis memory
will ming lie with the signs and live long in
the regards of all who knew him. As man,
magnanlmous and honorable; as neighbor,
kind and accessible; as friend, constant and
sincere and as parent tender aud aficc-
tomato. Thus esteemed, endeared and yenc-
rated, he descended TO that bourne whence
no traveller returneth. May the vestal blaze
of his principles beam on the responding
bosoms of his disconsolate relatives, and il
lumine their footsteps through the worlds
wide wilderness. A FRIEND.

the zeal and carncstness of purpose of a few
persons residing in the immediate neighbor-

Since the reorganization of the Academy

has been steadily increasing in popularity

when Reuben Davis instiled knowledge in
to the minds of hundred or more pupils,
gathered from different parts of the coun-

Harlan to bring the institution up ouce more
the point of efficiency and usefulness it had
when it sent forth such men as John G.

James Archer and others who have made
their mark in the world. Mr. Harlan is ably
