THEY boldly assert down South that no
man is ostracized in that section on account
of his political belief That this assertion
is falsehood We have repeatedly declared,
and now we find proof of our declaration
in the following paragraph, which is going
the rounds of the Southern Democratic
press as an excuse for the Offending" of q
leading ex-rebel general. We believe it
originated with that so-called Conservative
journal, the Richmond Enquirer:
Touching this same reconstruction record,
General Longstreet has been sadly misunder-
stood. He Joined number of other Confed-
crate generals in an early movement in the
way Of reconciliation and an oblivion of all
past difficulties. The movement proved un-
popular and the other generals withdrew.
General Longstreet thought it was right and
went ahead, and after awhile he was forced
By ostrdcisni into the Republican party. This
is the head and front of his offending"

1T rs TO be feared thai the best energies
OF some Of the guild of American journal
lists are being devoted nowadays to an
irreverent object. We rarely pick up an
exchange without finding in it an attempt
to burlesque obituary poetry, something
like the following from the Cincinnati
Times:
!. "Motber, may 20 out to swim, --... 90.
Yes, my darling daughter, .-...
H.. But in Geo. Eishbsck plun-gLed Did.
And hauled her out Of the water. or
-.-.-..r--- Gone TO change his shirt. .
: This is an allusion to the gallant act of
e Col. Fishback, of st. Louis, in saving from
d wstery grave venturesome damsel at
one of our prominent seaside resorts. The
particularly with which the writer details
the subsequent movements Of the hero of
his rhyme is not so striking as the explain
alton of the Brooklyn argus poet who
obituaried Chas. A. Dana, and announced
that he had .....
"Gone to hell"
or of the New York Potts farewell to the
Weeping Willow of the Wissahickon,
which closed with the information that he
had
"Gone to meet Bill Allen"
but it will take rank along with the asser-
ton that the Cincinnati Zoo Zoo Jacksss
has
"Gone to meet Sergeant Bates"
and the declaration that the much beheaded
Sam. Bard has
"Gone to meet Marshall Jewell"
Whether this thing should be stopped or
not, we will not venture to assert; but the
custom of resorting to it has made radi-
cal change in the current style of news
paper humor. 1t seems to be popular not
withstanding the serious source from which
it has its origin, and proves substantially
that what is the resort of grief with one
person is the source of merriment with
another. One man resorts to rhyme to
portray the depth Of his sorrow, and an
other to ease himself of witticism. The
following, however, betrays the true spirit
of piety submitting to dire affection:
"Derision sore. long time he bore,
Jay Gould was In vain,
Whitelaw then got up and sWore
He'd meier wear pants again.
Gone TO meet his dress-msker."
"Little Jennings we have missed his
Stock market racket;
That's because his black-maflinR fist is
In Jay Gould's pocket.
Gone to meet his London creditors"
I'VE gathered around his bedside
To see Mcclure die;
I'm Dana's second fiddle, he cried,
How is that for highG'
Gone to meet Phil. DAILY, Pete Herdic and Prssi.

T1LDEN, the great New York Demo-
cratic reformer and candidate for Presi-
dent, is being very generally discussed
Just now. The Sun denies the assertion of
the Commercial AdCertiSer that he is in
league with Jay Gould in the ownership
of the Tribune, and declares that he is too
shrewd to jeopardize his reputation by
disreputable associations. Thereupon the
Rochester Express remarks:
"Tilden's confidential political adviser is a
prize fighter and a backlog, and only few
years ago Tilden was the disbursing clerk of
Tweed, the great ring robber."

AT CHICAGO, in 1854, the Democratic
party declared for peace, although the
Confederate armies were about to be de-
feated, and the Union preserved. Now
they raise the same clamor, although the
Republican party is about to settle all our
national difficulties by asserting the true
principles of republican government In the
Southern States. Peace, in the Demo-
cratic meaning of the word, is q surrender
O. the achievements of the war to the
Southern wing of that party.

Letter from Washington County.

This county, Us you are aware, Mr.. Editor
stands NO as wheat growing section. 1t is
the principal crop, and the only one from which
our farmers expect to realize any profit. l am
sorry to say that after visiting all those sections
OF the county where the largest crops are gene.
rally raised, and conversing with farmers from
all sections OF the county, | am safe in saying
that the present crop cannot be one-fourth as
large rs what our average crops are expected
10 DC. The farmers are very much dishearten-
ed, out still they should remember that He who
alone can cause the grain to grow, knows what
is best for us In all the affairs of life. There are
many fields not worth cutting, and not one out
OF NIFTY Will make an average yield. Only those
fields which lay to the south will make any hing
like production. The failure of our wheat
crop will have most disastrous effect upon IL
kinds of business in this section of the country,
and even now you can see the evidences of this
being the case. The cause of the failure is uni.
rersaliy attributed to the great severity of the
carly part of the present season.
The grass crop is almost total failure, and
in number of clover fields grasshoppers have
made their appearance by millions, and doubt
less they Will affect the crop very much, and it
may be, make clean sweep of everything that
is green.
Considerable excitement has been created by
the announcement that coal has been discover.
ed In the western section of our county, In the
North Mountain range, and about one mile from
Clear spring. A company has already been or.
gained, ana large amount of mountain land
purchased, and every preparation is being made
to ascertain if there is sufficient amount to
justify working the mine.
lit should prove successful one, it will be
n great advantage to this section of country.
The approaching canvass, at least as far as
the nomination of candidate for Governor is
concerned, will he one of interest to the Democ-
racy of this county.
The Hon. W. T. Hamilton, as might be expect
ed, is all the talk here. While not speaking dis
paragingly of the gentleman, yet / think a better
selection could be made and had your CORES.

Sunday night, at about nine o'clock, band
OF armed men, numbering at least one hun
dred and fifty, with blackencd faces, masked
and otherwise disguised, met by prcconcert-
ed plan in the neighborhood of Odenton, fif-
teen miles from Annapolis, and speedily Or
gained themselves for the purpose ofproceed-
ing to that city to capture and lynch the negro
John Simms, charged with committing an
outrage upon Miss Addic Jackson, on Sat
urday the 9th instant.
The jailer refusing to admit them into the
Jail, they proceeded to force open the doors,
and overpowering the jailer, went to Simms'
cell. They tore OF the iron fastenings which
held the negro to the floor, and carried him
out Of the city about two miles. Arriving
at the spot, previously selected, Simms was
placed on horse, q moose fastened around
his neck and tied to the limb of large white
oak tree. The horse was led from under the
doomed man, who was thus left hanging be-
tween heaven and earth, and in ten minutes
he was dead
On his way to the place of execution Simms
made full confession of his foul deed and
said all the circumstances as stated by Miss
jackson were true. He was asked if he
wanted to pray, and replied that she did not
wish to pray, that he knew he was going to
that dreadful hell"
The whole affair was conducted quietly
and orderly, and no indignity was offered to
the prisoner. The whole party were grave,
sober and calm, but in dreadful earnest.
The body remained suspended until about
nine o'clock Monday morning, when coro.
ners inquest was held upon the remains. the
body heing inferred near the fatal spot
The vigilance committee is said TO have
been composed of many of the wealthiest and
most influential citizens of the county. and
public sentiment generally approves their
act.
On Wednesday of last week twenty four
cltlzens met and agreed upon resolutions
settlng forth the reasons which they felt
would justify them in taking the law into
their own hands. Their resolutions set forth
their beief"in the existence ofa higher code
than that dignified by the great seal of the
Commonwealth, and that the hi.h and holy
time to exercise it is when the chastity of our
women is furnished by the foul breath of an
imp from hell and the sanctity of our homes
invaded by demon"
Another reason for their action was that
the prisoner had the privilege of removing
his case, and that thus he might escape the
death penalty.
They next argue that even if he were tried
by jury and hung, that "there is no moral
difference in the means Of destroying him,
and we act upon this conviction" The
resolutions continued:
Thirdly. We are not willing that his vic
tim shall be dragged into court to tell over
and oyer again the story of her terrible
wrongs, or that her name shall be entered
upon the records of our criminal jurispru-
dcnce for future reference.
Chief Justice Miller had ordered an extra
session of court for the 3Oth instant, but the
citizens, unwilling to trust the uncertainties
OF the law, took the case in their own hands,
and administered rude justice themselves
