Sacrilege.

In vain on Saturday last, did the dropping
wing of the Radical party Zap round the big
pole of g Hays and Reform" In vain die the
bill-posiers pin their flaming sacrilegious pa-
cards upon the door-posts Of morribnnd Radi-
caism In vain did the filthy buZzards of
tie party hover over their wagering, vacil-
lating offspring. The bold, daring rover OF
the kigh-seas; the explorer of the western
wilds the consort Of barbarsm; the welded
partner and familiar acquaintance with every
species Of border rufianism and brutal saw
agery--they were all there, from the colossal
soaring bird of ill-omen, reeking with the foul
garbage of corruption, down TO the lean, at
tenuated sparrow-hawk mounted upon the
buzzard's wing, 10 be present al the rich re-

The rolling tide OF time is begettng change

are now firing OF craven usnrpaton. It is
the boasted spirit Of the American people

rants to the fartherest depths of oblivion =

SAD SUICIDE OF a YOU'VE GIRL.--A very
distressing suicide occurred at the residence of
Mr. Jacob d. Hutton, No. Ill I'd street
southwest, Washington, on Monday last, the
victim being his daughter, Estella, an inter
esting aud beautiful young lady II years Of
age. 1t appears that for some months past
she has been given TO fits of dependency in
consequence of having been disappointed in OBJ
tanning position in one of the govern ment
departments. Sunday evening she seemed TO
be in a very cheerful mood, but Monday
morning her mother had some words with her
AS TO some household affnirs, and she imme-
diatcly went 10 Eer room, saying that she
would take poison Nothing was thought of
her threat, as she had made similar ones be-
| fore, hut about noon one of her sisters went
4 to her room and sat there with her for some
time. Although she had taken the arsenic
some time before, and it must have caused her
pain, she did not show il. About clock
| however she was taken violently ill., aud
| physicians were sent for nj once Or G L.
Magrnder responded. but it was then too hate
and death occurred in about fifteen Minutes
The coroner's jury found a verdict that
death vas caused by an overdose of arsenic

Mr.. Editor Permit me 10 offer few
suggestions 10 the voters of Montgomery coun-
Is in regard to the re-districting of the county
for their consideration.
Our last Legislature passed a law entitled
IAN Act for taking the vote Of the people OF
Montgomery county for or agains, the re-di-
vision OF said county into twelve election
tricts'--vide Acts of 1876, chapter LAB
The constituiionality OF the law may be
well doubted, and 70: this reason, it there
were none other, ought TO be rejected TO save
the grave consequences which may flow from
holding elections under it. For the conse-
quences OF coutesiing an election under il
would be 10 create the utmost confus sion in
public affairs, and in the county offices espe-
cially should the votes cast al such new pre-
ciucts be rejected because of the unconsttu-
tionality of the law.
The law itself is so vague and inartistic in It's
provisions, it ought TO be rejected. The law
simply requires the vete taken to be returned
TO the clerk of the county and filed in his
office. There is no power any where to deter
mine and proclaim the fairness and CORRECTNESS
of such vote aud such return, which may lead
TO very unfair AND dangerous results.
The County Commissioners. If snch vote
should result in favor of ouch re-division,
shall proceed TO make such re-division" II
is not certain the Legislature have the right
10 impose such duty on The County Commits
sioners, especially when no provision is made
TO compensate them for their services nor Il
defray the costs they incur. Suppose The
| County Commissioners for these and othei

Blaine and BriStOW.


Mr.. Blaine and Gen. Brstow are distancing
all their competitors in the race for the Presl-
Dental nomination of the Republicans.
Messrs. Morton and Conkling are making no
progress at all with the masses of the people,
whatever may be their success in carrying
their own states. The country is to be con-
graduated that the Republicans have the ma
terial to furnish two such candidates as Blaine
and Bristow. In the hands of neither would
the national administration be likely to suffer.
But there are undoubtedly points of difference
in the qualifications of these two gentlemen
that afford grounds for a decided preference of
one over the other.
The leading difference at once suggests itself.
Everything that is known of Mr.. Bristow is to
his credit, but very little at most is really
known, and we find great many people who
would like especially to know something about
his record before the war,-how he stood then
on the question of slavery, they commit
themselves to his support On the other hand,
while Mr.. Blaine's record is equally unques-
tionable, it may be said in contrast that every
thing is known about him. he has been con-
stantly before the public eye for dozen years.
| during the largest part of which as Speaker of
| the House he has occupied the position second
| in power aud prominence only 10 tne fresl-
dency. The country knows him through and
| through: il is scarcely so well acquainted with
| any other public man, and in his long and
brilliant career there Is no act or word that has
checked the steady growth of public confidence
| in his rectitude and in his abilities. Slander
has spared him. few men in public life, scarce
| ly any so long in public life. have lived so
| entirely above suspicion.
OF Mr.. Brstow, on the other hand, the coun-
| try knows that he is death on whisky frauds,
| and that is about all. That is well, that is
exceedingly well so far as it goes, and no doubt
| it goes good wav, but are not those rather too
| hasty who infer from that his possession of all
| the other desirable qualities of PresidentY
| Such weight of inference is dsproportionate
| even TO a fact of so much significance as the
| whisky crusade, of which the entire credit IS
| not perhaps due to any one man. The TACT re-
Bristow's standing on any Of the puperOus
