BayOnsts Instead Of Ballots.

President Grant, through the Secretary
of War, has directed Gen. Sherman to
hold all the available troops under his
command in readiness to be used ut the
call of the legal authorities, in protecting
all citizens without distinction of race,
color, or political opinion, in the exercise
of the right to vote. This means the in
timidation Of all white voters in the States
of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louis
lana and Florida, who are not for Hayes
and Wheeler. This is the plain English
and the "true inwardness" of tn Q specious
phraseology--'all citizens without distinc
ton of race, color, or political opinion
Il is part Of wicked plot to carry the
Presidential election by bayonets instead
Of ballots. But il won't succeed. The
people have not parted with their man
hood, and are not yet ready to yield the
right Of a free ballot to the Jauissaries Of
Federal power. Instead of intim idating
them, the presence aud Enjoyment Of
the military will but stimulate them to
superhuman exertions to rid themselves
by the power of the ballot Of partizan-
ship that stops at nothing, not even an
attempt at the basest despotism, to main
tain itself in its supremacy in the govern
ment.
Ola piece with this proclamation of the
President is the attempt now making in
Baltimore, to effect change in the Mar
shalship of this State, SO that some in
strument Of the savagery now impelling
the Radicals Of that city may be found,
who will employ number Of deputies
sufficient to wrest it from the hands Of
the Democratic party. IF there is yes
tigc Of manhood left in the Democracy Of
Baltimore, they viii rather court than
shun such an ordeal, Let the Republi-
cans make every member Of their party a
Deputy U. s. Marshal, then show them
that they can be outyoted two to one.
There ara thousands Of Democrats in Bal
timofe who have not voted for years.
Measures Of this sort viii but serve to bring
every delinquent absentee to the polls. Lei
them try il, and they will find larger
majority against them 10 the State than
has ever YET been polled.

Adjournment Of Congress

Congress adjourned sine de on Tues
day evening last, at half past seven o'clock,
after one Of the longest sessions ever held.
The Ns,o York Sun, Of Wednesday, takes
the following general view of its work;
"a great deal Of important work has been
put through, under the demands Of the House
sustained by popular pressure, in the way of
retrenchment, investigation, and the suppress
sion Of corruption. The House has relieved
the country OF thirty millions Of taxation, has
broken up several infamous Rings, has sup.
pressed great deal Of fraud, has driven Bel.
KNAPP from office, and has shown up mon
strous amount Of rascality. For the good it
has done, for the wrongs it has prevented.
for the crimes it has punished, and for the
exposures il has made, we give it credit. 1t
has had to struggle with the Republican power
in the Senate, with the President ia the White
House, and with all the combined forces Of
Grantism. By the time the next session as
sembles, we trust that Samuel j. Tilden will
be President elect.
The Republican Senate has stood in the
way Of all substantial reforms throughout the
eight months and half that Congress has
! been in session. There is not redeeming
feature in the proceedings Of the majority.
Every measure of the session looking to re-
trencbment, economy, and improvement in
the civil service, has originated in the Demo
cratic House. IL measures ofthis class have
been finally passed, it has happened only
after a protracted struggle, in which the
Democrats Of the House stood squarely up to
the work, while the Republican leaders in
the Senate did their best TO defeat them. In
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1876-08-19

The iranking privilege, passed by the
Republican Senate at the session Just
closed, was killed in the Democratic House.
This is another item to the credit Of the
ruling party in the House, aud additional
evidence that the Democrats are the Re.
formers, and the Republicans the oppo.
nents of Reform.

USIoS Mtlas lTgAs. Fatal accident. =
For The last two or three weeks u party OF
men from the vicinity Of Hanover, Pa, had
been engaged in digging torsilyer on the iarm
Of Mr.. David B. Earhart, about one aud a
half miles north Of this place. Last Tuesday
they had reached the depth Of about twenty
two feet; suddenly, while one OF the party
named Josiah Myers was at the bottom oil the
shaft digging, the earth from the top gave
way and covered Mr.. Myers TO the depth OF
ten or twelve feet young lad named 30,
siah Erb, son of Samuel Erb, had descended
part Of the way into the excavation, but upon
the first alarm OF the slipping OF the carth
above, he ran toward the entrance by an At
most perpendicular path. but before he reach,
ed the top he was caught by the slide ana
covered with earth and stones, so that moth,
ing was visible above the surface but one OF
his hands, this was discovered by one OF the
workmen above, who Immediately set to work
to extricate the lad from his perilous position,
while the other ran TO summon help. In
short time some of the neighbors had gather
ed and set about uneoyering Mr.. Myers IN
about three hours they discovered the head
nf the unfortunate man, but too late, life was
extinct. The body was found in standing
position pressed tightly against the side oppo'
site from the slide. Ii is evident that he too
had attempted to fee, US his face was turned
toward the entrance. 1t is supposed that
death resulted from suffocation. Justice Le-
gore of this place, was notified, and summon
ed the following named gentlemento serve as
jurymen ~. W. Earhart, WIN. Tagg, John
Feescr, Jacob Lester, Andrew Byers, David
j. w. Earhart, +. A. Shriver, Moses TroSel,
John Bcachtel, Henry Miller, J, j. Feeser,
and John Wagner. After hearing the evil
dence, the jury returned the following verdict:
"That Josiah Myers came TO his death while
digging for mineral or other valuable sub
stances on the farm of David d. Earhart, on
the 10th day of August, 1876, at 0 o'clock, a.
M, by the caving in of earth and stones upon
him.
Mr.. Myers was about forty.fve years Of age
and leaves wife to mourn his untimely end.
The surviving partners of the deceased ex'
press u strong determination to continue dig
ging in the same place, with the hope of finding
the precious metal.
This week party of men in the employ of
a coal oil company of Pittsburg, Pa, passed
through this place taking the survey, eleva'
tons and depressions of the turnpike for the
purpose of laying an oil pipe from Pi;tsburg
to Baltimore. From them VIC learn that the
pipe is to be four inches in diameter, and
that about one hundred and twenty-five miles
have already been laid.
This Wednesday night we had fine rain
which was much needed, as the earth was
becoming too dry to pillow, and many of our
farmers have not yet finished this important
preliminary to fall sowing.

A self-Oonrioted Libeller.

The Neo York Times is pouring the
walls Of its wrath upon Coy. Tilden, say.
ing all manner Of evil against him. Moth.
ing is too gross, too false or malignant for
its columns. Aud yet, four years ago,
and as late as the time Of his election as
Governor, it Landed him and endorsed him
as one of the ablest, purest, and best men
in the country. Wewill lay these extracts
before our readers in the next issue, and
oppose its own testi mony to the vile cal
umnies which now daily issue from the
sluice-g gates of its columns. The Times
is the leading Republican organ in the
country. 1t gives tone to the sentiments
and opinions Of its party. From it, out
and-out, thick and-thin, unreasoning Ra-
dicalism, draws its daily pabulum. 1t
utters its sentiments and repeats its E al
ISLANDERS in every place where men c"Lgre-
gate; and if il can be shown tina, lis own
utterances are sufficient to prove it un-
worthy of belief it is at once disarmed for
evil, and Mr.. Tildcn's record aud charac-
ter stand out all the more bright and fair
in contrast with its malignant aspersions.

SAlTH's PHOSPHATE WoRKs, at New Wind
sor, as announced in our last, were completely
destroyed by fire on Thursday Of last week.
The fire was undoubtedly caused by an incen.
diary, as there had been no fire in the build.
ing for several weeks. A shed attached 10
the building, in which kindling wood, &c.
was kept may have been occupied by tramps,
and the fire may have originated in that way.
The loss on the stock, building and machinery
is about $500, insured in the Washington
county Company for $500. The firm have
made arrangements TO begin the manufacture
OF their phosphate in Baltimore Mt once. Al
the time of the fire neither Mr. Smith or hi.
