The SsntineI, Of Montgomery county, says,

The Sentinel, of Montgomery county, says,
in its issue of the 9Th instant:
We want in the State good working cleo
toral ticket composed OF men who will de-
vote theis time and attention 10 the campaign
and do noble service for Tilden and Hendricks
We do not feel that there ia the slightest dan
ger of losing the State, Int we desire 10 cafry
il by such majority as viii hereafter silence
the howls Of the Maryland Republicans It
has been the custom to honor our members of
Congress with second nomination and we
have heard no objection of substantial ma
tire 10 The denomination Of Mr.. Walsh but
whoeve: the convention makes the standard
bearer Of the Congressional district, Mont
gonIery county stands ready to perform the
gallant part she played two years ago and TO
furnish The necessary majority for his election.
Such expressions from our contemporary
shows Hue Democratic spirit, which always
governs Montgomery. Though some injustice
may have been done that old Democratic
stronghold in the past, we trust she will in
the coming convention be amply repaid for
premacy Of the Democratic party in the Sixth
district. Our modesty has forbidden US to
press Alegany's claim where no organized
opposition 10 a conceded right has existed
aud we gladly receive and give space to this
recognition on the part of the Sentinel Allie
gany should stand by Montgomery and see
that she is not forgotten when her demands
are presen ted - Cumberland AHeganiGn.

The Providence Press lind says teen
eral John A. Dix has added no glory TO a
long and honorable career by attempting to
rally the soldiers OF the late federal army as
boys in blue for effect on the pending cleo
ton. We strongly hope that sueh attempt
will fail utterly, and we should gladly see any
man. whatever his past services or distinction,
who seeks to foster ii made an object of hearty
reprobation"

"A CARD


AuGusT 10, 1876.
Ia Issuing this card 10 the public il is sim
ply our intention to give our reasons why we
are not able 10 reduce The price OF our Man
MUM E'ER TiLf/ER for the present season.
In making our purchases ct materials used
in the manufacture Of "AAXlNUM" We have
always exercised the utmost care and diligence
in the selection of sock. OF materials, know
ing that onrg0oR Ra8se and personal reputa-
ton is identical with the farmers interest in
getting The highest grade fertilizer made in
the country and in our MAXIMUM FERTl-
LIVER we guarantee and stake our personal
reputation upon il that the MAXI UNI il the
hest fertilizer in the market, and has proven
the Justice Of our claim for It, by The contin-
uauce 10 use il Of the hest farmers in every
section of the country where il has been in
troduced. We have had this year TO 90 to
Savannah, Ga, where the agents Of the Pc
ruvian Government hud their lAsi and only
cargo of original high-graae Gnanape Gnauo
stored, TO make our purchase Of Peruvian Gu
ano, in order to get such as would insure the
former established grade and secure beyond
doubt he reputation Of ''MAXlMUM -
In securing this high grade Of Peruvian
Guano we have paid large increase on HE price
of last year, and the present price Of Peruvi-
an Guano now being sold from the agency of
the Peruvian Government in New York 1t
will be readily seen by the intelligent farmer
that Perus ian Guano, being an imported ar
tiele, is moi affected by any dcpressons in
either our financial or commercia markets
and therefore we who use Peruvian Guano er-
cfasigely never have the opportunity 0 make
purchases Of materials to adTaulaee in times
of depression, rs 0thcrs have no use Il tart
or wholly Of domestic articles, such as d-ied
blood and animal matter Of various kinds
and We consequently have not the margin 10
reduce our prizes.
In conclusion, we offer M41YINL.H at the
same prices as last year, feeling that TIE far
mers who now use il will see il TO their inter-
est TO pay the same price rather Than get a
small reduction in price aud grcater one in
quality.
With many thanks for past announcement
and guaranteeing the MAXIMUM FERTE
LLIER fully up to its past standard, we ask
from the farmers who have so successfully
us d it in former years, continuance OF their
patronage for the present season.

TITS the duty of every citizen to take part
in deciding in whose hands shall be placed the
administration of the Government. No one
can be excused for negligence in this respect,
and all who have hitherto failed in this duty
will do well to study and follow the example
of Governor Tilden, who as VIC all know,
speaks truly when, in his letter of acceptance
he says
Educated. in the belief that II is the first
duty Of citizen Of the Republic TO take his
fair allotment of care and trouble in public
affairs, have forty years, as "a private citizen,

The news from Ohio is of the most encour-

cline, and that of Taden and Hendricks is

Gratis viii make large gains. There is no

POSTAL REFoRMs.--One of the changes in
the postal law made during the last session of
congress permits the sender Of newspaper
through the mails TO write his or her name on
the newspaper wrapper, and the sender of a
package TO write OF its covering the number
and kind of articles it contains These changes
will promote the convenience of many per-
sons, and tend to increase the revenue of the
post Office department. The old system was
based on the idea that for the transmission of
everything in the nature of written intelli-
gence it was polite to charge letter or postal
card rates; but the new law treats the public
with greater liberality, and is more in ac-
cordance with the dictates of common sense
The postal system being sustained by the en-
tire body os the American people, and the
actual cost of service being very slightly
increased by additions to the amount of busi-
ness DONE it is the pecuuiary interest Of the
government to adopt all reasonable and desira-
bic improvements or changes that have
manifest tendency to increase the number of
letters, postal cards, newspapers or packages
sent through The mails.
