As an index of the sentiment of
Maryland "reformers" regarding law
and order, u score Of men proceeded on
the evening of the 9th ult., on Deal's
Island, To the homo of James Jones,
knocked him down, tied his hands
and feet, toro off his clothing, stamped
on him, and pretended that he had
committed an outrage on one Julia
Sommcrs :" without warrant then
made him walk thus mauacled over
two miles to one Justice IVebster's
where after mock trial, they demand
ed commitment which was improp-
erly granted, when they carried him
to Princess Ann, twenty miles distant,
with not q rag or loosencd band to pro-
tcct himself from the musquctoes, and
placed him in Jail, where he was con-
fined until the 2d inst, when Capt. w.
:. Dix became his bail (; the said Julia
A. Sommers affirmed that "said Jones
had not misbehavcd 10 her, and that
she hadno reason for appearing either
before n grand or other jury against
him." There is no redress in that Sec
ton, for the Democrats talk very flu
emily about taking their guns and kill
ing every negro on that island, and say
that no negro shall vote on that island.
And yet these "reformers" only want
ito be let alone"
AS Tilden's answer 10 the charge oil
defrauding the revenue very tardily
comes to the front, further evidence il
support ofthe charges is in order
The books of one stock broker IL
". Y. City show that in April, May nnt
June, 1864. he sold. through thei
agency, over S413,0O0 ofdiffcrent stocks
on which he realized the heaviest pro-
fits. On the 1lth of June Inc receive,
$4,000 as his share Of the proceeds o,
certain spoculo>ions in Chicago t. X
and other B Said II gentleman
who bought ahU sold stocks for hin
during this period: 'In the years o
1862, and 'G3, and Ca, Mr.. Tilden coul'
not have made less than from $4,000
( TO 100000 in the street. These wer
the years in which he paid tax on 81
800, $4,000, and $40, 900, respectively.
As council to various corporations, h
would make recommendations I
them, and then purchasing before tb
news get on the streets, lie reaped grea
: profits with great rapidity and profits.
"wheu I read Mr.. Tilden's letter Of nc
oepiance this summer, and pondcred on hi
lofty condemnation Of fraud. trickcry. an
!, communicating practices Of oil sorts,
could hardly believe that tho man who pc
ned these glowing words, and the ma
, who had twelve years ago sncakea into m
Office TO sell out his friend, were one on
the same person."
4 "Not dead but sieeping," would ha,
been IN honorable motto for the DaltimoI

it's regular weekly session at the Gro
